Release Date?

[gtpimp97]

Man, I could really use a cheer me up this weekend. Come on Sprint, don't you want what's best for your customers?

All joking aside, I am fully willing to try and talk my wife into letting me splurge on the phone sooner rather than later.

 

[JRodHimself]

Well we have all of the collateral and signage for the phone; now all we need is the damn phones ha ha

 

[JRodHimself]

I just called the Sprint store in my area, they said they can't give information about when will it be released. I think they know when it will come out.

I can at least speak for my store: WE HAVE NO EFFIN' CLUE!

 

[gtpimp97]

Oh lord I can't take the wait anymore. I went to my local Sprint store on Friday and nobody there even knew that the Nexus S was coming to Sprint. One of the employees tried getting me to buy and Evo and I told him I ALREADY HAVE an Evo. He then told me why the hell would I want a Nexus S 4G??

PLEASE SPRINT, GIVE US A RELEASE DATE!!

Oh, I'm only joking....I can wait.....sorta.

June 1st

I was told today by Sprint customer service that the Nexus S release date is June 1. I called because I was eligible for upgrade when I pre-ordered nexus s in March but since their April 1st change to premier I was bumped out of eligibility. Turns out my 10 year will be in may so he said I will be eligible when the nexus is released June 1 so there would be no problem for my upgrade....

Well, my local Sprint store said they should get the Nexus tomorrow, April 18.....will wait and let you guys know what happens tomorrow...

lets hope your right and not the June guy, because last I checked, June was a bit more in the summer side of the season than spring...

moral of the story, seasons should not be used as release dates

To be accurate... The first day of Summer 2011 will be June 21st...

However, an April (unlikely) or even May release date will be very welcomed in my book.

BTW, none of my local Sprint stores have an earthly clue about the Nexus S delivery date, not to mention they are not even aware of any in-store pre-order as advertised in the sprint.com/nexus page... Sad!

well when you go to a university that has spring break at the end of February, June seems well into summer lol

Being "academic", it should be called Winter Break...

my sprint store just got point of sale signs/ banners in on the Nexus - the mgr told me they start training tomorrow on it and usually phones are released a 'couple' weeks after training. he added he'll know a few days in advance of shipment and he'd call me once he learns of the shipment. we'll see....

lines up with that internal document from a little while back saying training begins tomorrow, so that is good.
When I originally went in to preorder at my local Sprint store the guy knew about the preorder (although he didn't know exactly how to do it) and said he doubted it would be out before I had to return the Arrive I'm using as a placeholder (on the 21) as the usually begin training "about a week before" the phone is released.

4/24 is still in the running, but May is looking a bit more realistic at this point

April 24-30

I went to Best Buy today to pre-order the Nexus S 4G, and the Best Buy guy told me that they expect the Nexus to be in between 4/24 and 4/30, but probably on the 24th.

I called employee sero and was given June 3rd as the launch date

I really don't think BB knows when its coming in. There dates are consistently wrong.
