Some Best Buy stores get their Samsung GALAXY Nexus stock, but keep it on the DL

f**k me. Im tired of typing on this broken ass thunderbolt. Give me my nexus!!

thank you for the humor phonearena (they get shot haha)

this is too early for april fools..

I really do NOT understand the ass backwards marketing concept/approach and cloak of secrecy around the official release/launch of this phone???? In less than two days from now, we are all hoping/assuming that the fastest and most efficient Android phone to date will be released, yet so few consumers have even heard about the Samsung Galaxy Nexus , or understand the significant differences between Gingerbread and Ice cream Sandwich OS. By the time this phone officially launches/I finally get my hands on this amazing phone, I will be actively seeking out a support group to help me with what I’m smart enough to realize is obsessive compulsive behavior around procuring the Samsung Galaxy Nexus. For months, I have been hanging on every word posted here and elsewhere about the Nexus… only to find out in the end that instead of confirming/setting or minds at ease about the official release date... The official guidance/instructions are to lie/deceive any/all potential customers about the fact that the phones are being shipped/received??? At almost 50 years-old with 29 years of active military duty and still serving... I realize that I’m nowhere as tech savvy as the majority of you, but only a fool would buy yesterday’s technology at today prices (meaning purchase the Droid Bionic 6 months later than promised with the release of the Nexus/Ice cream Sandwich OS on the horizon) so I have been forced to deal with a truly inferior phone for longer than I care to admit! Verizon took me for a ride that I will NEVER forget, or forgive with the droid Bionic… I wouldn’t have hesitated to replace the POS Blackberry Storm 2 that I have been toting around for almost two years NOW... if the Bionic had been released in a timely manner. Life was good when I was a VIP customer with 14 years of loyalty and could replace my phone every year… but when Verizon did away with the VIP program and said everyone/anyone could trade up at the one year mark for a mere $20… I knew that was the beginning of the end of the good deals. As I said, the Bionic was a huge disappointment… and now Verizon has taken me down that same road with their inability to release the Nexus without really pi$$ing me off yet again!!! it’s a good thing that I travel worldwide and depend on the solid service/connectivity… and need the speed of Verizon’s 4G. Otherwise, I would be taking by business elsewhere without any hesitation. Verizon, thanks again for showing me how little you really care about your customers… and for making what should have been an enjoyable experience awaiting the release of the nexus pure hell.

that pic is the real macoy........i used to work for best buy and that pic right there is def "employee News" or Best Buy Mobile's Merch kit watever............we'll see

Why do so many people complain about the Bionic? I upgraded from a DROID X into one and it was a significant improvement. But you know what I want an HD super-amoled display so I'll be getting the Nexus the day it launches. I really can't complain about the Bionic. Its been a good phone to me.

I actually understand this, because we don't actually have a launch date. Until we're told what the release date is we can't share that info anyway, and we're not supposed to sell inventory before it's released. My store hasn't gotten the phone anyway though. I do agree on a corporate level that the lack of a post announce launch date is pretty damn annoying.
