Pre-Orders/Stores that Confirm Availability

Re: My local best buy is selling galaxy nexus right now...

Well my local Best Buy says they haven't received anything yet and are unsure when they will. Anyone in Central NY speak with any of the local stores and confirmed that they actually have the phones on hand and ready to sell once they get the ok. The rampant rumors of buggy software, wanting to sell more razrs wouldn't hold as much weight with me if say a large number of areas just didn't get their shipments in yet.

I read on xda that someone got their phone from best buy and was set to go until it didn't ring up. Wouldn't let them sell it.

They can't sell until 12/11 (thats a Sunday). I've never heard of Verizon releasing a phone on a Sunday.

Just passing along what they said.

Called my best buy and they said that they could not sell them yet. Asked if they knew when and they said they dont really know and cant say (how those two go together you got me) but that they "were keeping everything on the down low". I think the rep was like 17.

It's a six hour drive I recall in driving it in around 4 hours a few years ago but google maps is telling me a whole new story. I might just be obsessed enough to do it.

Are you packing the soft drinks in the car yet?

jk

SOMEONE has to call out this store!

Called my local Best Buy. "Yes we will be carrying the Galaxy Nexus when it is available."

When?

"We don't know when."

Lol we got a memo on our employee news saying that we have them but release date is still pending from verizon. And to notify every customer that we do not have them and have pending info coming

Btw, I work at BestBuy Mobile played with the nexus and its massive! Love it!!!

Re: My local best buy is selling galaxy nexus right now...

i did an early upgrade. So bb wouldn't honor it.

My default upgrade is May but I was bumped up as being elgible a couple of months ago on Verizon when they did the promo or whatever... if I go somewhere else they won't be able to sell to me at the upgrade price? I didn't think about that. I wonder if Costco can?

Talked to a bunch of Verizon corporate stores and the Best Buy here in Albany, NY. No luck

Not much to add here, but I went to the VZW store near my work at lunch time and spoke with a salesman. He didn't admit to having received stock but told me that they had a demo unit in the back but can't activate it yet. So if someone could get a store to sell them one now, it sounds like it can't be activated on the Verizon network yet. I guess Verizon has the power to flick the GN switch and until that happens only test units will work on the network? I don't know anything about how this works so someone correct me if this is wrong.

Then no stores would have a floor unit, activated and on display for people to play with. Which is not the case, according to many employees and consumers that are reporting today.

So...it's my first post, so take it as you may....

When I asked a friend/business associate what was up with the lauch today, he responded, "no launch, but we got the phones, and should launch sometime before Christmas". When I asked if he could hold one for me, he responded, "prob not, but we got in quite a few"...

We're getting closer!

It's hard to tell it could be any day after they get what ever was holding it back fixed. I would think that Verizon wants this phone out ASAP so hopefully it happens sooner rather then later.

All I can say is that I am going on a cruise on the 18th and desperately need this phone before then, so it BETTER come out by the 15th! UGH. Never thought it would come down to the wire like this!

I'm there with you. My cruise leaves on the 17th and I was hoping to have my new wedding present to myself with me.

This is becoming the unicorn for us Android folks trying to upgrade on VZW... The mythical creature we cannot catch.
