Release date
From the numerous information that I have obtained over many many forums and insiders and reps, my guess right now is around Sept. 15th.
Again this is just my opinion. It has to be before Oct. which is why VZW's and Sprints have WinMo 6.1. 6.5 is to release in Oct. and neither wanted to wait that long so they are gonna release it before then and I am sure there will be a ROM update to convert to 6.5
I hope this helps a little. The VZW Rep list for "Coming Soon" devices only goes up to Sept. 8th for now.
Im really hoping its early Sept, i dont see why if it was gonna be around mid Sept they wouldnt just push it back till Oct and release it with Wm6.5 instead of doing an upgrade after its released.
HTC Touch Pro2 graces Verizon on September 11
As reported in Engadget:

Verizon Touch Pro 2 9/11/09
Here's another one from engadget. Not sure if I should order it tomorrow or hold off a while with my TP1.

Well, since I have AT&T and they are sitting on their ass I wish i could buy the VZ version, unlock it for AT&T. And we know for sure the VZ version has a 3.5mm jack.
What is interesting is that on the VZ website it shows GSM and CDMA radios.

Wonder if it would work on both networks.
I thought I'd be able to pick up my phone today before leaving on a birthday cruise for my wife, but was disappointed to find out the TP2 was available on line only.
I attempted to order on line twice, having the system hang up on the "accessories" tab, and had to call customer service to place my order. At least my phone will be waiting when I return next week. Now I can dream about my new toy "at sea"!
I've heard as early as July but I am wondering if anyone has any more info as to when it should launch. Sprint stores are saying October.

The Sprint store at 88th and Sheridan told me yesterday, FALL 2010. FWIW
That would pretty much be in line with October. *sigh*
yeah, and the article below was written 8/07 *sigh*x2

I know... And Qwest was said to be trialling a WiMax network in Denver last year too but I never heard anything about that project either.
Got an email from Sprint today, officially announcing 4g in Denver.
About two weeks ago, I saw an advertisement for the Galaxy Nexus for $199 coming to VZW... I remember asking a chat rep at VZW and they told me if that's what is advertised, that will be the price.
But now, they are saying that advertisement didn't exist.
Curious if anyone else saw it and if maybe it was a fake.
It was a landing page that was supposed to go live if the release wasn't pushed back. Since the release date was in fact, pushed back, the page that was accidentally put up (the one you mention), technically never existed.. or it was never meant to be seen at least.

Absolutely nothing we've seen until today's press release could be considered 'official' from Verizon.
That was clearly a Black Friday discount since the phone was originally scheduled to be released before Black Friday. After the release was pushed back and the discount window expired, we don't know when they will offer this price again.
I am just curious how AT&T has handled new releases of phones in the past (big announcements like the S3, iPhone, etc.)
Did they announce well in advance, the day before, or what??
Do they have ample supplies of the new phone in their stores on release day (obviously the iPhone is an exception, but what about a phone like this).
I am on Sprint now and want to get on AT&T BADLY, so I am hoping that I am not going to have to wait long amounts of time.
EDIT
AT&T will be Nov 9th, $300 on contract. Source:

Nobody really knows. Rumor was Oct 24, but given the proximity of today to the 24th with no word at all, I'm betting sometime in November, sadly...they are quite mum on details...

Eric, thanks but this doesn't really answer my question.
I am curious how they have handled big new releases IN THE PAST, to understand what to expect here.
Given the mess that AT&T made with the SGS3 launch, no one has any idea. In that particular case, they never OFFICIALLY announced a launch date, and then kept unofficially pushing back the date that they never actually announced.
People who made pre-orders for the phone 3 weeks before the unofficial launch date got their phones a couple days after they were originally promised (and in at least one case I know of - it was a full 2 weeks after.)
Actual AT&T corporate stores were kept completely in the dark with no official announcements, and lots of unofficial rumors.
Perhaps, becaue of that disaster, they will keep completely silent on the issue until they are ready to actually hand the phones to customers.
I'd bet that you'll be able to get one before Thanksgiving (2013.)

Thanks Gary. I was unaware of all the mess with the S3 (mainly I guess because I am not an AT&T customer YET).
Sigh... I guess I need to stop obsessing and stop checking for an announcement every day from AT&T. Although I doubt that will happen. :/
I will look to next Wednesday to see what Samsung and/or AT&T possibly announce.

I've been doing the same thing man lol. The Sprint announcement gave me some hope but at this point we're so close to the 24th that we'll find out in just 6 days anyway.
I've been waiting so long that I feel like my honeymoon period with the phone is already over. But I am sure that feeling will change once I have the device in my hand and I move away from this super annoying and tiny iphone 4s screen.
I spoke with our Samsung rep today sprint and T-Mobile will get it the 24th and Verizon and art will get it around the second week of november

That's not right, Sprint has already 100% officially announced it for the 25th. This thread here seems to indicate that it might not even be available to pick up at Sprint on 10/25, only able to order: http://community.sprint.com/baw/thread/101166?start=15&tstart=0
T-mobile has not announced an official release date, but it certainly won't be on the 24th because Samsung's event is at 7pm on the 24th to officially launch the phone in the US.

I pre ordered the SGS III on ATT and received it on the date I was promised, June 21. It was not as smooth as they wanted granted, but the expectations of people were way out of control in my opinion. There may have been some issues outside of their control, but they did not communicate with their customers like they should have. I doubt the Note 2 will have that type of demand. I expect an announcement fairly soon with pre ordering and or shipping to begin soon thereafter.

You got the phone on June 21st, but do you remember how soon before that they announced the pre-order?
Just wondering was it AT&Ts fault for the delays or outside of their control? I'm an AT&T customer and always have preordered my iPhones at 2am(central time) when preorders start and I have always received my phone when they said it would arrive.... Going on 5 different launch day orders with no issues.
when pre-ordering through the att website...are there any issues with keeping a grandfathered unlimited data plan (to be bumped up to lte unlimited)?
in the past, i'd just walk into an att store on launch day...just to make sure i wouldn't lose unlimited due to some automatic computer script...
Would like to know about pre ordering also online, though through Verizon. Have unlimited data and will be paying full price. This do able ordering online, without losing unlimited?

My store and many others are planning on full inventory live launch. Not sure who started that thread but most stores (corporate at least) should have them in stock

when you say MY STORE, are you an AT&T store, and does that mean you will be selling them on 25th?

Yeah, very unclear.
I called my corporate AT&T store last week, they had no clue on the Note 2 release details. None that they were sharing anyway.
Just called my corporate store again. No date known according to them.
