Regarding Dec. 9 no longer being the unofficial date

[calledthestig]

December 9th is still Coming Soon.

Just saying.

Are we really freaking out about this? We've waited several weeks already, so I'm sure another week (probably less) won't be that bad. Let's not lash out at the people who bring us the info, either. Phil didn't delay the launch. He's just a guy who gets to enjoy a Nexus anyways, for which I am jealous. Incorrectly blame P3Droid; he's used to it by now.

except p3 is full of it. he recently tweeted those numbers that lead to a date saying he read the email wrong, which would not be the case since the guide showed the 9th and just shows he has no idea what he is saying.... He just likes trying to stay in the mix.

I heard Feb 31st!

Supposedly it is more than just razr's that are having issues.

I guess it depends on where this supposed "outage" is. I've had LTE all day and haven't had issues getting LTE since the first true nationwide outage back in like April or May.

it's 4G Motorola phones based on the call I was just on. about 60% of them in New York state at that too.

Yes, last minute bugs pop up. HOWEVER, there is a review for a launch that must be met before you approve the release to the channels. It's reasonable to assume that approval was provided, as phones where shipped. If there was approval, then there was acceptance in it's current state.

Something other than a bug caused this delay.

As I stated, things can change. The hardware may be fine (which is why the devices have been shipped) but last minute software issues popping up is not at all uncommon occurrence. There have been several instances where DVR software and features has been held up for weeks even a few hours before planned release because of glitches. The complexity of fixing these things can be more complicated than any of us can imagine.

So basically your hypothesis and subsequent conclusion is wrong.

And how can a device that was never given an official release date be delayed? The fact that VZW is being careful with this phone is a GOOD thing. Just because it's not what some people want to hear doesn't make it wrong. Just be patient and you'll be rewarded and all of this freaking out while waiting for this phone will be completely forgotten when you have this device in your possession.

For what it's worth, my VZW representative for their SF Financial District location just called me to let me know that I could pick mine up on Friday morning.

This was subsequent to the front page article being posted at approximately 10:00AM PST.

I still think that verizon will release it friday and was just mad that someone leaked that date without them being able to announce it first. Makes no sense to send the phones to stores if it was not ready to be sold.

Just lost LTE in Cleveland. And I mean really lost it, I can't get any data connection other than wifi.

SIGH.

For those that are getting this call, I'd ask the rep if they know anything about the delay that was reported this morning. Sales reps seem to be a bit behind on information for this phone.

That and I wouldn't want to waste a trip to the store for something that isn't available.

This happened with the Charge. It was in stores, posters up, demos up, etc and then they had to take it allll down because of that big LTE outage in May. Release of the Charge was delayed a week or so.

 

[mysterx]

And I mean really lost it

Trust me, you ain't the only one who is losing it today.

If its any consolation. The radio shack leak from yesterday mentioned something about the 14th.

this. makes the most sense.

I think I might stop by the store that's closest to my office after work (in about 2.5 hours) and just ask them a few questions regarding getting a new sim for my Thunderbolt so I can give it to my mom when I get the Galaxy Nexus and then ask when it's supposed to be released.

By that time if it really is delayed hopefully all of the stores will know.

Just saying, the guys on the Charge forums are posting similar problems with LTE and mine went out this morning too. 3G is good, but 4G in NY seems to be out on more than Motorola phones.

Precedent. So yes it can be this very reason.
