Verizon sucks, they shouldn't let Verizon have exclusivity if they're gonna force the release date back a month.

something fishy is going down here. the phone's sku is 3904141 :) the employee that sold that is probably going to get in a lot of trouble

Either a screwup or deliberate help, as we're not supposed to acknowledge we even have the phone in stock or anything until the official release.

Ours is going okay, but being in a major city with cheap landline and free wifi everywhere kinda kills its appeal I think. I have much more fun selling phones.

former bby emp here. Unless it was a GM or CSM/CEM whatever there called these days. They can get away with it; if there able to push weight. I was always told if the product has a HARD street date then they can never sell before the said date. But cmon with this phone how many street dates were given?
Theres not even a pre-order system.......WTF lmao..............i gave up the week of black friday. I am a fan of quality service but VZ is not try to Cater to us fan because where not as loyal....And i mean loyal as in not allowing the Razr and Rezound to have the great sales numbers its been showing we should have just waited out, show disinterest and hound and cry for the nexus........just saying

I work for best buy mobile in minnesota and was able to buy mine under the table. We have not sold any to customers and can't until the 15th but two other employees have been able to get a galaxy nexus also.

maybe this pic was taken by an employee and made fake receipt?

someone should forward this to verizon and press the issue for a release.
19. SweetLou posted on 11 Dec 2011, 19:26 2 0
wow verizon has really dropped the ball on this launch. They were hesitant to carry it because its a small niche product, so what did they do? Push it further and further back, not accept pre orders, and still have not announced a launch date, when the phone has been available for weeks now.
Maybe its some weird desire to replicate the frustration/uncertainty of the 4s launch, who knows.

RELEASE THE DAMN PHONE ALREADY VERIZON! SO THE REST OF US ON SPRINT AT&T AND T-MOBILE CAN GET OURS

wow as much as I think the nexus is better than the iphone. At least Apple knows how to market their products at least Apple releases products to customers on time! And for those defending verizon saying verizon never gave a release date it doesnt matter! Google wants to compete with Apple as far as I am concern vwz is nothing but the middleman Google should have marketed this phone more efficiently. Samsung galaxy 2 was release back in early 2011 in Europe when they finally released it to the states Samsung had a whole event to announce the phone here in the states. Even if the phone does release this week Google should have had an official press release for the state release. What a joke this phone launch is. VWZ can careless they have the best network and when your cocky your cocky you dont care what anyone thinks as long as they got something others don't the best cell phone coverage.

The funny thing is this phone will be "THE" phone for about a month. In January when the Quad Core's are introduced at the Consumer Electronic Show (CES) all the hoopla will go to those and everybody will be waiting a few months to get one of those instead. Watch!

isnt this the case for every android phone? there are 4-5 top teir android phones for each carrier every year.
and we'll see quad core at CES, but we wont see them in stores until summer at the very earliest (remember when we say the bionic at CES '10?)
37. DarkCobra posted on 12 Dec 2011, 10:30 0 0
Points well taken, as with Android there's always a better replacement just weeks away it seems. However, I do think you'll see a Quad launch in the spring and it won't take until summer. The Bionic as we all know was a fumbling bumbling mess from the beginning. They just couldn't get it right and it's STILL not right! Look for a Quad this Spring! Peace out!

Verizon does this so much but I hope the delay is for a good reason I got the HTC thunderbolt the first day it came out I had nothing but problems my wife has the bionic it has problems my best friend is on his second razr so I'm going to try this phone I don't mind waiting because its 100% android and its has ICS Verizon has to do something now that two phones have been sold so thank you best buy sales person and the other retailer that have sacrificed their jobs most likely to get the Samsung galaxy nexus out there:-)

Verizon should come out with a 199$ deal just for the flub that has become the release of this phone, but then again what do they care.

Someone should start a online movement 2 protest at verizon stores during this holiday season with list of demands.Lol

what a mistake from whoever might have sold the phone to this person
38. chil0329 posted on 12 Dec 2011, 13:40 0 1
I work indirect and these phones are absolutely not suppose to be sold yet, the boxes cant even be opened. If someone sold them these phone they could lose there job or best buy could lose there Verizon liscense
