I must confess that my dreams were dominated by the galaxy nexus last night. Woke up around 2, then 3, then 4, all after short dreams about trying to make it to the store before they are sold out...

Yes, this is 100% true. My friends who work at Verizon Wireless stores are kept in the dark about big releases most of the time. They get told the day of when they arrive at work when big devices are released. I did get a date from a corporate store in Florida last night that said Friday is the day but after the Casey Anthony case I don't know how much I can trust people's judgement from Florida. I'm going in late to work regardless on Friday so I'll be at Verizon around 8:30 a.m. I will post here if it's not the release date and in the I Officially Got My Galaxy Nexus thread if it is.
I had a dream Monday night that a bunch of us form the forums broke into a Verizon store and got our G-Nexii early, the weird thing was they looked like large OGs. I woke up like wait, wth? Cinnamon Toast Crunch before bed will do that to a man.

looks like it all might be tied to using cheap usb cables and or chargers.
Cheap USB chargers can do this. I'll be keeping my eye out though.

If you read the comments below, everyone states this happens when you have cheap USB chords or chargers... Use a good one and this will not happen
I'm having trouble deciding what approach I want to take with getting this device... I'm 99% sure I'm getting it Day 1; I already don't have work on Friday... I've got the cash to buy it from Verizon, but I'm leaving for snow skiing in a week and would rather put the device on my Best Buy card and use the cash on the mountain... problem is I don't know if Best Buy will even have the devices in on Friday or if I'd have to wait until next week. The last thing I want to do is not buy at VZW on Friday hoping that it comes out over the weekend at BB, then find out that it won't be out at BB until after I leave on my ski trip to then return to the VZW store and find out they are out of stock.
I would also love to have the car dock as soon as I buy the device for said ski trip (13 hour drive), but I think I'm going to see if I can sweet talk someone into getting me a standard dock, car dock, extended battery, and/or case for Christmas, which is, of course, after the ski trip.

There was a similar situation when the OG Droid landed. There's a whole thread on weird things happening when using 3rd party stuff.

My advice for you is simple: Develop some sort of technology that allows you to be in two places simultaneously.
Quite a dilemma there Truss, I think you have no choice but to buy it day one from Verizon and jury-rig it for the 13 hour drive and starve on the ski trip. That's what I would do.
Dude, just do what I do. I buy it from verizon and I always tell them to charge it on my account and I pay for it on my next monthly bill
Use the cash for the trip! You deserve it... I think so

I ALWAYS forget about this option... I see it being talked about on here about 3 times a week and it never occurs to me that it is available to me as well.
Since they both open at 9, I think I'm going to BB at open, see if they have it, if so, I can use my credit card and rewards zone certificates and get a ton more rewards points and if not I will call the VZW store and beg them to hold one back for me as I drive like a maniac across town.
