I posted this over on Droidforums.net, but I think it's worth noting here, too. Take this for whatever you want.
This is what I posted:
"I have some information for you guys regarding the release. As I've stated far too many times, my spouse is a rep with VZW and is involved in many more responsibilities than your run-of-the-mill-know-nothing corporate rep. Because of his strong sales, he was selected to attend a roundtable discussion this week with Jerry Fountain, a high up manager with Verizon. The purpose of the meeting isn't important, but knowing who Jerry Fountain is is important. Jerry is the President of the Tennessee/Carolinas region (which is our region - we live in N.C.) and has some serious clout within Verizon.
In the meeting today, Jerry was discussing the holiday season and sales. He was on the topic of the very good 4G phones available on Verizon and said the best is yet to come. He was referencing the Galaxy Nexus. Then, he announced to those in attendance that the Nexus is slated for a December 8th launch in all locations and that the date is pretty solid at this point.
Again, I post information simply to inform - take it for what you want. But when I hear a Regional President of Verizon say something like this to a small group of employees hand-chosen by their managers due to their sales success within the company, I take it as a pretty good "source.""
