Verizon Galaxy Nexus (Prime) Waiting Room

Re: Droid Life says the 9th

Compared to the Bionic launch, seems like almost twice as many going to most stores. Read in a thread that there's a minimum of 15 going to each store......most stores only got like 6-7 Bionics for launch day.

Plus most stores will probably get a second shipment in over the weekend since they are supposed to have a marketing push next week not that it will sell out right away IMO.

Been at work all day without being able to follow, sorry if I missed it. Has the full retail price been shown?

Yes, but you need to order over the phone and you have to specifically ask for Saturday delivery. It's $20 extra.

So then, Friday morning I would call up a corporate number to place my order?

The leaked documents mentioned that the dec 9th launch was for "all channels" so maybe you'll have luck with retailers.

My indirect store almost ALWAYS has new phones on release day. We had the Razr 2-3 days before launch and should have the Nexus tomorrow since ours were shipped out today and are usually next day or 2 day shipping. We will have about 10 in store the day before launch.

So is anyone going to buy an Ice Cream Sandwich and eat it when you buy the Nexus? lol

 

[deadlyv2]

We are giving them away with nexus purchases. we have a freezer waiting for the wonderful treats.

So how soon will I be able to call and order it through telesales. Same day it's in the store or a day before?:-$

$799 off contract?!?

$799 off contract?!?

If it is over $649 retail at the VZW store I will get a new single line contract with the GN and cancel the contract the next day. Why would they charge you more than the 2 year contract price + the ETF?

Because VZW did that for the Xoom. It was 800 retail, 600 on contract with only the 175 contract cut off price... VZW isn't as smart all the time....

the store on 86th street and lex in manhattan told me last night that it will be for sale friday morning and to come on in, no appointment though...

but now with this new news about it being pushed back again, i don't know what to think... other than to think that i'm really pissed off.

 

[SpaceHippie]

im not waiting past december. So Verizon better get these problems fixed

What news?

Back to the off-contract price. You guys are saying that you would set up a new contract at $299 + whatever start-up fees and taxes there are, then cancel the next day and pay the full $175 ETF for a total of $474 and some change. So let's round up to $500. Then we get to keep the phone, right?

Then I can go pick up a new SIM card (edit: never mind, I just would never activate the SIM card on the new contract number), and activate the phone on my old, original contract and sell my Bionic for whatever the free market decides?

Is there anything I'm missing? That sounds way too easy on my part and way too dumb on Verizon's part.
