Yes it does. And with some of us hard headed once bitten twice shy folks, that is what it takes to have us believe.

I asked this question before and hardly got any responses.

So what phone has Verizon passed on in the past that you really wanted?

We all know the SGSII, but they passed to get the GNex. But I hear this from many people, and am just curious, s I don't really see it. No other phone on any carrier has been appealing to me at all.

I personally like the HTC Sensation, it seemed like a better version of the TB. Other than that, I really don't know. Smartphones seemed to be generally lacking for me until this year.

Edit: As for Verizon phones, I was really jealous of the Droid X and Droid Incredible owners for a while, haha, but I'd just gotten a Touch Pro2 (ugh) a few months earlier...
 
I really want this device. With the house closing on the tenth and having to pay for a fence that covers an acre of the yard for my dogs when we get there I keep trying to tell myself that my Charge is fine.

I have to put out some coin due to the house and I am not eligible for an upgrade so that means full retail.

That being said I am thinking this will be my belated birthday gift and Christmas gift to me lol.

This is honestly the first one that has my panties even remotely twisted since I got my Dinc. Everything else on the carriers was kinda paltry, imho.

Add a quick addendum to the contract specifying that seller pays closing costs PLUS a new Galaxy Nexus to the buyer :p

Atrix maybe?
 
Question... the article that was posted a few pages back about the comparison between the screens of the Galaxy Nexus and iPhone 4s... should I be concerned that the pictures of the Galaxy Nexus screen were green?

Can't complain. The seller took $10,000 less than asking as well as paid the closing costs and I got a.new roof also. On top of all that at the appraisal they valued it $13000 more than I paid.

Yeah, it's a horrible issue with this phone, the screen is entirely green, which makes every movie look like the Matrix...

Of course, I kid :p
This could either be because they used two different cameras (or simply different settings) when taking the pictures of the different phones, or they intentionally tinged the SGN photos green for comparison to the iPhone photos.
 
Regarding the spec that was changed, this wouldn't be anything new to Samsung. Once the iPad 2 was announced, they went back and modified their new galaxy tab to better compete with the iPad. I believe the processor bump in the gs2 from 1GHz to 1.2 was also a last second move that was made after the official announcement

LOL we stole our first house... found out the old guy had died and all the heirs were out of state. They took our offer with little resistance, heck whatever they got was free money to them :)

Sorry mods, back on topic... ready for this phone! ;)

There was some debate over that and the fact that when you watch other videos the screen looks fine. I believe the final consensus was that the camera or angle could have caused part of that and the best thing is wait until you have it in your hands yourself.
