I'm an adult, I know tomorrow is just another Friday. But, I feel like it's X-mas (you can add the 'Christ' if you want). I don't know if I'll be able to sleep. I've been counting off the days for weeks now. I plan on getting up extra early so I can be at the Sprint store promptly at 8 am. I plan to get to work a wee-bit late and showing off my new toy. I'm as happy as a little guuurrrrlll.

Yeah, i don't feel like this since SOCOM 3 for PS2 back in October 11, 2005
That is EXACTLY what is feels like, and I just told one of my friends at lunch that I feel like a kid waiting for Christmas morning so I can unwrap my toy. I swear I'm obsessed with this phone... I check various blog sites and forums multiple times a day to see if there's any new news. I just hope not to feel let down after I've unwrapped my toy and the anticipation is over.

This is exactly what I do. I sort of feel like I've already seen enough trailers for the EVO movie, so when I do finally open it up I won't have as much anticipation or shock because I've already seen all the videos, reviews, photos, disassembled EVO, etc. I'm not going to have the shock values as "WTF! This thing is HUGE! What's this? What's that?"

I couldn't have said it better myself!
I have to agree - it is kinda like Christmas -- and I'm picking up 2 EVO's around 11:00 am tomorrow.
The root is available, the phone is available - just gonna be a good day tomorrow.
I'm almost too tired from waiting - to go pick them up ..... almost
Mule
Same here except for the part about being happy like a little guuurrrrlll
Since some people (Google I/O attendees and Ebay buyers) had an early Christmas already, tomorrow seems more like "Festivus" for the rest of us.
I challenge you to the feats of strengths. After that, the airing of grievances.
I can't freaking wait! This is just so exciting, getting up early tomorrow to be at the store by 730
The reason it is like Christmas is because I will be up so freaking early to get to The Shack before 0600...
Is Radio Shack even open that early?
Just confirmed that my Radio Shack has received their shipment.
I have a 7:00AM appointment.
This is soooooooooooo thrillling!
I need to take a sleeping pill so I can make it through the night.
No.....
how do you guys feel about Sprint?

Ehh they $$ are sometime over limited. But in my area sprint works the best, Below that is ATT then T-Mobile. and VZW is last.
I called my Best Buy to see if they can get me an earlier slot, and they told me I can just activate over the phone at 10AM and then pay when I pick it up (any time after activation).
It definitely feels like Christmas tomorrow. I've been counting down the days since I put it on pre-order, and now I'm counting down the hours. 12 more hours to go! And since I'll be sleeping for 8 of them, that means only 4 more hours of actual awake time!

I called this shack and they only got 3 extra on top of the pre orders so I gotta be first in line. Everywhere else got no extras
Sprint has it but they open at 8 and I gotta work at 7.
The shack is opening at 6 so I got time.

Are there a lot of people waiting outside as well or is it pretty much well known that just 3 extras are available?

any san diegans gonna go early to wait?
i'm thinking about 7am at the shack.
Just went to a nearby Sprint store and saw about 5 people outside in a line (some in small tents). The nearby Radio Shack had no one outside.
Probably will wait a few hours and head back out, hopefully to Radio Shack.
tents lmao! thats intense... reminds me of the 360 and ps3 launch
Have you been like me and had the Dell mobile sales web page open all day checking the Dell Venue Pro page? Any other fun stories on how you spent your day waiting for the DVP?
yep since, 4:30 this morning. Also here and expansys-usa. All say the same thing. Wait lol. I think i am going to just disconnect and Friday read how everyone got theres. Then watch they will be on back order lol. Damned if i do and damned if i dont lol. Damn cell phones

Exactly, spoiled people like you dont count unless you have been feeling our pain today
yes
god when does this fone come out i need it!!
I swear this phone should be flawless about time it gets into our hands, the wait has been enough
Yea,
I don't think it will be flawless though.
I am going into a T-Mobile store today to look at the G2. Also to find out about a year contract instead of a 2yr contract. I had a year contract that expired a couple of months ago and can't see myself having the same phone for 2yrs.
Online and on the phone they are not offering it, but I heard from a couple of places that they may be offering it in-store.
I am just not sure about the DVP.
I myself have been looking at the webpage daily and sometimes hourly.
Anyways, I am sold on the DVP, I know it is going to be my next phone & I am ready to put down the $200 for the 2-year contract. I played with the HD7 & Windows Phone 7 is definitely a great OS, its smooth, beautiful, and functional (which the previous Windows Mobile wasn't). All Windows Phone 7 can do is just get better & better, hearing about a January update which might add a few nice features, it just makes me want it even more.
Only 5 days to go until the official release in the UK, and I was wondering how many people have taken the day off work specifically to collect their new phone?
I'm not personally, but I have a brother who works for CPW who said their deliveries usually come in on the Tuesday, so I may have mine a day before release!
One other thing, after watching all the videos out there, I feel I am expecting this phone to completely blow me away. Do you guys think it's really going to be all that and a bag of chips?
Cheers,
BS...
I'm taking the day off, but that's mostly because there's no guarantee what time it will be delivered at my workplace and I start early and finish early. I don't want to have to hang around the office all day for it to arrive at 5:00 so I'm taking the day off and collecting it from the VodaGroan shop.
The "all that" thing is going to be largely down to useage and expectations, I'm a heavy user, but I'm just expecting it to be better than my SGS1. This phone isn't going to cook my dinner, rub my shoulders, etc, it's just going to be for browsing the web, listening to music and playing games.
i wouldnt waste a days holiday to sit around waiting for a phone....its just a phone
it will still be there when i get home from work, and a phone doesnt rule my life....

No discount unfortunately, and I've gone on contract with 3, moving from a SGS1 on Vodafone. I also have the SGS2 through o2 as my work phone, so I will briefly have all 3 SGS phones, until someone buys my SGS1 off me.

I have phoned my local Carphone Warehouse store, and they have told me that they will be getting their stock on the 29th, but they are "not allowed" to sell them until the 30th. They will be available from 9:00am.
General and launch discussion should be directed here.
Thank you.
Hey XDA!
We're all heavily pumped for this awesome Nexus, and I'm eager to know how long Google takes to ship their orders, especially to Canada.
(Cause I'm here, away from Sandy!)
And if you all would like to speculate the ship times for US, by all means go ahead
I can't speculate on that since this would be my first device purchased from the Google Store but I can definitely say that I'm really really praying for next day delivery option to be there during check out LOL !

I'm really thinking I might at the very least camp it for an hour before my T-Mobile opens. I was told they only have 5 phones to sell and they didn't know if they were getting another shipment. I assume they are though, because why else would they delay the launch. If I can't get one, then it's not the end of the world.
So, what are your game plans? Anyone pitching a tent?
BTW, I went in and checked out the demo. First impressions were good, everything I had expected although I will say this: the midnight blue is the BIGGEST fingerprint magnet I've ever seen. The back of it looked like it had already seen three years of hard abuse. I'll def be putting a case or skin on it

I'm pretty confident in saying that you won't have to camp. Nobody outside of these forums even knows the phone is being released. I work in a dept of over 300 people with smartphones and not a single person has heard nor cares about the N6.
The are you going to buy it poll on the most frequented android forum in the world had a whopping 155 votes. People are acting like this phone isn't going to be available.
Sent from my LG-D851 using Tapatalk
I tend to agree. I contemplated camping until I considered I might be the only one outside waiting. I might get there 20 minutes early though. Just in case. Even if they sell out the stock before I get a chance to buy one. I'm doubtful it will be on back order the first day. So odds are they'll be able to ship it in a couple days, hopefully.

I think it'll be win win. If I get one, awesome. If not then I'll get what I really want: 64gb white
My impression was waiting 4-5 hours before they open. Interesting that people in here are not to worry about it. Guess depends where you live. When I got my M7 on launch day in Bellevue, I went half an hour before they opened and was like 4th in line, and several people behind me. Going based on that.

For perspective, the Nexus 5 sold less than 5 million units since release. The Note 4 sold nearly that in a week. No matter how difficult Google makes it to get online, the phone will be widely available at the carriers. Nexus devices have never sold well, even at 299-399 dollars. I suspect the 650-700 dollar Nexus wont be flying out of the stores, either. If people want a Phablet, they'll just get a Note 4, its pretty much cornered the market on Phablets. I love the Nexus line, but I can count on one hand how many people I've ever seen in the wild with one since the Nexus one, and I live in NY.
At the earliest, I'll be there around 1 hour before release. Like others have said in the thread so far, this isn't a very popular release outside of the XDA forums. In fact, most Tmobile reps are clueless about the launch itself.

I agree. And on top of that, getting any consumer electronics item a few weeks before it becomes widely available isn't going to improve your life in any measurable way. By the way, I ordered through Motorola and am expecting delivery on November 26th. I think I can wait another 11 days.
Does camping around your phone that has two apps set up to alert you when it's available count? I will actually be working at T-Mo that day, I'm in training so don't go asking me questions b/c honestly I know as much as you all at this point. I'll get outta work around 2-3pm and maybe drive around to take ganders at it if I can.
I'll be camping at the website waiting to order a 64 GB one. Haha

i seriously doubt camping is necessary. google did no large scale marketing at all, and stores typically get new devices in during a shipment midday (unless led by apple who can drive a SPECIFIC launch date world wide). heck, i sold 2 galaxy edges at my att store on the 13th even though we expected them to arrive on the 18th. so fingers crossed we get our nexus 6 before the expected arrival of 21st.
