Ok, I just got back from Costco. I talked to the sales guy there and he was a moron. He only had a non-working demo SGN. He had no idea when the SGN would be for sale, but thought that there would be a package. He then decided to lecture me about how Nexus phones were over hyped and every one has been a "flop" in the past. I told him about the on-time updates and he said that wasn't true and every Nexus had been plagued with major hardware and software flaws that rendered the phone useless. He finally recommended that I go with the RAZR or Infuse (?). It was a terrible interaction and made my brain hurt. At one point he said there wasn't even any cool docks for the SGN like there is for the RAZR.
On the plus side, the phone felt great in my hand and wasn't too big feeling at all. It felt more comfortable than the RAZR and it was pocketable. I can't wait.

Maybe because they would rather sell a phone NOW, then hope you come back to their store, and find them whenever this mythical nexus drops.

Can't wait for something like this to be a bit more mainstream and manufactured by a more trusted brand.....

They very well could be getting more commission on it, but but it wouldn't surprise me if they were just bull ****ting to sell a phone, then and there. |

Cronic has a point. It's just the nature of sales.
Called the third party retailer I plan on getting the Nexus from and they said tthey're getting 4 tomorrow. |

There is no more commission from selling a Nexus vs the Razr. It is broken down into Data phones vs Basic phones, with more or less money depending on what type of phone you're coming from. Cronic is pretty spot on, it is just a matter of getting something sold today instead of later. It is how the salesmen are trained.

Funny, I just happened to be in a Verizon store today picking up something for a client, and while I was briefly checking out the smartphones a saleswoman immediately approached me and started pushing the RAZR on me. I asked her about the Galaxy Nexus and her words were, "Oh, we're all waiting on that one, but it won't be out for a looooong time!" after which she started trying to sell me a RAZR again.

I seriously, seriously doubt there isn't a higher commission for Motorola phones and the razr is the flavor of the week so they're pushing it. Unless they're ALL that stupid.

I own a Razr mainly because I got sick of waiting. I won't claim it is better than one phone or another, but I like it. |

I was going to get a Razr. Then I decided I'd just keep my TBolt until my contract is up, then....maybe get a smartphone elsewhere...that's cheaper.

Just installed a new ROm on my Charge yesterday and FINALLY I have a version of gchat that has video chat capabilities. It's about time I can actually use my phone's front-facing camera for somethign. It's only been worthless for 3 months now
