Been following the thread for a LONG time! Currently have the Launch Day PRE and on it's last leg....been trying to play the game of when the release of the Nexus S 4g on Sprint is. Last week went to Best Buy and pre-ordered, gave $50 and got gift card..when ordered the guy said date looked to still be 4/18. I just completed a chat with Best Buy mobile with the "chat online" option at the bottom for NEXUS S specific questions. The rep told me that the Nexus S 4g has been delayed by Sprint and there is NO RELEASE date given. They also said that there is NO REFUND for the $50 gift card. Wanted to share and see if anyone else has received similar info! BTW...GREAT THREAD...GREAT site!
I'm so sick of all of these dates! Only one of them can be right, or chances are, none of them. I would rather have a single incorrect date. To this end, please someone pick a date. I will believe the first date that someone gives me. I think that will be easier for me to handle. Thanks.
Bad news friends, it has officially been pushed back to a 5/8 launch date.
Sucks!
See, this is what I don't get. If what you said is true, then that makes no sense to me business-wise. The Nexus S, although a great phone, is old tech. Sprint waiting on another company to make the "first move" so to speak is kind of outlandish. The NS4g is not a game-changer overall. Maybe it will be one of top 2 phones on Sprint, but overall, there will be far better phones for the masses. So Sprint waiting on Apple to announce their latest iteration of the iphone doesn't seem accurate to me.
That's not to say that you weren't told that. I'm not calling you out so please don't take it that way. I just hope that these Sprint people are just making things up or are very very misinformed.
Just my .02

I've been following the launch for the Nexus S like crazy--reading online, asking different people etc. I pre-ordered mine 3 weeks ago at BB. Of course there's been lots of rumors about the release....I was in the Sprint store this weekend about ready to throw my HTC HERO across the room and asked the guy why they're being so secretive about the launch. He said that it's becuase they're may be a HUGE announcement from another carrier with a new phone--i.e. i-phone and that they are waiting to see when they announce that so they can swoop in and announce the Nexus S. I kind of though this didn't make ANY sense since Apple typically comes out with a new Iphone every July, NOT now....but then again it is Apple and they like to be super secretive? It didn't make a whole lot of sense when he said it but I thought I'd pass it along--It seems to be the only reason they're being so secretive and/or delaying the launch. "Spring" could really be up until June something. Let's hope it's not that long!
