Sitting in midwest Best Buy back rooms as I type...why?

I doubt stock is the issue. They sold Incredibles making people wait weeks to get theirs. I know, I was one who waited.

that wasn't verizon's fault though. maybe verizon learned after that debacle since they have not had any issues like that since. Plus samsung couldn't pump enough components out for htc which is why htc switched screens shortly after initial release.

I was about to say, that was a pretty huge deal and Verizon definitely got the negative press over it, so I doubt they'd likely repeat that whole event again with the Nexus, which is why stock is definitely a likely reason for the delay.
