Release Date?

I know I am just adding to the rumors here but here goes another. I just got back from Best Buy which I pre ordered the nexus s. Lady who has worked there at Best Buy Mobile for atleast 2-3 years who I have always found credible told me the Sprint rep gave her a visit today just before I arrived. He told her the Nexus S 4G has a unofficial release date of May 8th. This sounds about right to me considering its a Sunday release and also considering Sprint techs are still training on this phone from what I had heard. Hope this was somewhat helpful information to you guys!
I don't know why the release date is such a secret, but Sprint held that crazy press conference to announce the Echo, so I'm sure that Sprint didn't want to create competition for this phone on it's release weekend.
That part I understand, but why they can't just give us a date?

Na, I think we'll know a date shortly after the echo is released. I just think they don't want to steal the Echo's thunder. They're going to have a hard enough time moving those things without worrying about competing with the Nexus.
The Nexus S should have had the fanfare that the Echo had. Too bad the Echo is gonna fail. I think if they were serious about it, there would be more advertisement and hype about the Echo.
Nexus can't come soon enough. My dying Hero is asking me daily to be buried.
It's hard to stick with sprint for this almost 6 month old phone release when tmobile just released the g2x

I see them marketing the Echo to people that want the "lastest" but don't really know what "lastest" is. Make sense? While most hardcore Sprint Android customers will be getting the Nexus because you know....its a Nexus.

Although the hardware is old, since the Nexus is a "Google phone" the software will get updated on it right away.
I hear what you're saying, but here's how I see it:
The Nexus feels lighting fast. I don't think that anyone can argue that the phone can stand up to any phone currently on the market in terms of speed and stability. It feels on par or better than any phone I've used. There may be a few beasts out there can take a few speed tests over the Nexus, but then you have to worry about compromising battery life.
IMHO, the nexus is a balanced choice that should retain it's rep as a good phone 1-2 years in to the future. I realize in a year there will be a whole new class of phones out, with new specs... but we're talking about a Nexus here. Google will support it, it will get the latest software updates, and I will feel like I have a top-of-the-line phone until a new Nexus comes out. Then I will be mad at sprint for six months for not picking it up, before being forced to go with the Evo3.

I agree with you on the Nexus being supported by Google. When I talked to my friend that works for Sprint tech support, he said it would be out in May. I thought to myself that he didn't know what he was talking about because of all the 4-18th dates that kept showing up everywhere. Now I think that he is probably right. It makes since that Sprint will wait until after the launch of the Echo. Good news is that by next month I might just have enough money saved to just buy it off contract without a 2 year extension with Sprint

That would be awesome actually. I know they let me bill the EVO to the account, I hope they will do the same with the Nexus. I want that in my hands now!

I still think that Nexus will come out this month. I think we'll hear more about it next week. i know I'm speculating, but April is what Sprint and Best buy have said all along, and with the Echo this weekend, and the Replenish coming May 6, that gives Sprint a two week window to have the Nexus released.... Heres hoping anyway....
Oh, I didn't realize they had released a date for the replenish. I would agree then, I peg the Nexus for a late April release.
Thanks for the insight. This is definitely the kind of thing I wanted to hear haha. Seriously though, I'm happy to know that there are others who fully feel the nexus will be a capable phone if not a contender for one of the top phones even a year from now.
Now we just need Sprint to say "Coming this Sunday"
False Hopes
So I've been following this thread for a while, anxiously awaiting the Nexus S to land on sprint to I can join the android community, but I feel like everyone has been jumping the gun for little reason. So far, the only real material we have seen is a beginning training date of 4/18 right? So with the echo launch this Sunday and Nexus training beginning on Monday, wouldn't Sunday the 24th be the most logical release date?
Not trying to rain on everyones parade or sound rude, because like I said, I'm excited to join the community

Honestly, as long as it comes out in the next month and a half I'll be ok with that. I can almost taste that Gingerbread goodness...yummy!

Easy for the guy that already has the Evo to say... Those of us with tired launch-day Pre's are getting anxious!
