Here's an idea....don't announce a phone until you are ready to release it the very next week and pre-order the day you announce or the day after.

Who are you and what the heck have you done to CK??

Don't get me wrong, if you killed him, that's fine. Just curious! :p

I had to say something after running the latest rumor through my trusty meter.

Yeah, knowing it has some of the same creators of LOST behind it definitely steered me towards it, and there's a lot of back story it can get into. . .like who's Henry, really? And what did Snow do to Regina that made her all evil? I don't know how they're going to pull off multiple seasons of this, but I didn't see it with LOST at the beginning, either.

I never watched LOST but I DVR Once Upon a Time so that I don't miss it. I think they could go quite a few seasons on this - it might start off with Snow and that story but look at how many fairy tales there are that they could run with.

All this release BS makes me want to boycott the cell phone industry all together.....they have us all by the balls and they can do whatever they want and its frustrating, either leak things and let us know the date or don't leak anything and make an announcement out of the blue with all the information on the table stringing people along is just a frustrating experience.

I agree. But I'd be lost without my phone and the companies all know that for most of us this is true.
 
We were lied to so many times , it is getting hard to believe anything.

Samsung delayed because of Steve Jobs = Lie.
ICS was not ready = Lie.
Google and Verizon are fighting = ???
and so on... = More lies.
 
I wish we had an official Verizon release date already. My excitement level is on a sharp decline.

It sucks that they are (at least it seems) going to try to get as much out of the RAZR as they can. From a purely business point of view, I don't know if it makes sense to launch two flagship phones at the same time, especially when one of those phones allows Verizon to put their bloatware on it. When I go to buy my Nexus, I should pretend I don't know much about phones and ask for them to help me, just to see which they recommend.

I am on my OG Droid, and there are times when it is so frustrating using it. If I open Google Maps, and then hit the home button, it takes anywhere from 2-5 seconds for the home screen to show up, probably do to the Java garbage collector needing to clean out memory. Gotta love 256MB of RAM!

Wife and I have been looking forward to new scifi show, now that Eureka's new episodes are done for a while, and no more Smallville, which waasn't all that good after Lex left, I'm really hoping this is pretty good.

Being Human on SyFy is pretty good, I have a completely irrational fear of vampires and I am still hooked on this show and can't wait for the new season. My husband likes Once upon a time too so give it a try. I am always afraid to like a show too much because they almost always get canceled before their time:( Dead like me, pushing daisies, arrested development.....

I'm driving in the car and can't talk much now. However, I do have news. There is a supply problem. I'll go into more that later. When I can post.

, I'll share the specifics in about a half hour or 40 min. when I get to computer.

How many twitter folowers do we have to round up for you there Steven? :D

We are all dying here!

:eek:

I had one more thought that will appeal to the Verizon pessimists out there. THe problem isn't an undersupply of GNexi, it is an oversupply of RAZRs and Crap-zounds. So Verizon is holding the GNex hostage till they reduce the supply of those.

That seems to make sense to me. They probably underestimated demand for Nexus.

My girlfriend just went and got an Iphone4 the other day she was upgrading from a 2yr old blackberry curve.....I asked the guy when the galaxy nexus is coming out he said he didn't know yet but I should really check out the razr because its actually better....I said I want ICS and updates in a timely fashion....he said the razr with have ICS in a few months I said I will bet you 1,000$ right here on the spot it will be at least double that and he didn't know what to say then, I asked if he was suppose to push the razr because its in the droid line and its by motorola and he just didn't want to talk anymore.....they obviously are told to do that....which i would expect but I'm just saying.

This probably isn't too far from the truth, but we will probably never know the real truth. We will get a press release that has been drafted and redrafted by the corporate lawyers (no offense Han) to feed the masses a line of crap and tell them it's filet mingon.

I think if it is anything like LOST it can take up more than a few seasons:)

Back on topic. I wish he would hurry up with the news! I have become completely obsessed with this phone
 
Wonder if the supply issues have anything to do with the processor. Before Google/Sammy/TI officially declared the 4460, numerous blogs (e.g., Droid-Life) were reporting that production of that chip had been delayed and they were speculating that the G-Nex would actually launch with the 4430.

But, Europe seems to be launching on the 17th just fine, so it's probably not related to the chip. It probably is Verizon underestimating the demand for this device and now thinking, "Oh crap!" At least, that's what I want them to think after the torment they've put us through....

I feel your pain. Good shows always get the boot -- especially if there are two with similar concepts. ex: 30 Rock and Studio 60. I LOVED Studio 60. I'm an Aaron Sorkin nut -- probably because I work in film and TV and other than West Wing, that's all he writes about!

MUCH AGREED HERE....Firefly, almost lost Eureka, then it came back, but know I hear the last season will be this spring...this is sad. Warehoue 13 is ok, but I'll have to try Being Human, thx for the tip.

Han is a prosecutor, whole different ballgame... Some of them are actually worthy of existing in society.

When I asked the local Verizon store I got the same line about I should really check out the other new phones they would be offering because they were better. Mainly pushing the RAZR, I said no thank you I will NOT buy another Motorola. Then they tried to tell me I should get the Bionic, that it is a great phone:confused: Um, NO

Whaaa???

Wow. This thread is not what I thought it was.

Good bye, everyone. Good bye.

Ta ta.

Seriously? Neither of you has watched it? You have missed out on so much!!! I beg you to please get/rent the bluray edition and begin from Season 1. It's better than anything else I've ever seen!!!!

I think that's what a lot of this adds up to. As long as I can walk into a Best Buy on launch day and get a phone though I'll be happy - but only because I can't pre-order.

I just hope they don't over estimate how much they underestimated and think the phone was a failure.
