Photo and video processing are far superior on native Mac applications. Aperture combined with Photoshop is amazing.

I prefer Lightroom and Photoshop for photo processing and I even have a Hackintosh, but I still use my Windows box for photography stuff.

Back on topic: Still need to decide if I want to pre-order or pick up at store opening day.
 
She will be mine. Oh yes. She will be mine.

This thread is POPPIN FRESH.

You guys buying it on the 17th? I might wait for an amazon special because on principal forking out 299 is going to be mentally tough.
 
DOUBLE Amen!!! Not only do we have what is looking like a solid release date for the Nexus (11/17), but my neice just called me, told me she decided to get herself an Iphone 4S (silly girl!), and asked if I knew anybody who would want to buy her 3-month old Samsung Droid Charge. I said "No, but I know a VERY frustrated Bionic owner who would LOVE to borrow for that Charge about two weeks.............."

Sooooo...........

Asta la Vista Bionic, I am going to do the humane thing and "put you to sleep" when I get home tonight. :P

Two weeks of CHARGE, foillowed by two years of NEXUS?? Count me IN!!!!!

:D :D :D

I may actually wait one week to see if there are any Black Friday offerings.

I'll be buying at Best Buy anyway.
 
If they don't end up offering a pre-order, what is the best strategy for ensuring you get a phone? I know a Verizon salesman told me I could make an appointment with him to buy a phone (but this was just when I was shopping around for what they had available in store) Would making an appointment for first thing the morning of release be the best way to guarantee a phone or do I need to get to the store pretty early and wait for them to open?

Really hoping they offer pre-order to save myself from any further stress:p
 
I'm going to wait a few days maybe weeks to see if the price will come down. I'm going to have to buy full retail since I just used by upgrade to the Droid 3. I think $649 is the latest full price I've heard, anyone hear different?
 
WAIT! STOP! - we've heard from all our major players except GAPI??!!! He should have been thrilled with all of this news.

Ok - continue. I just don't want to leave anyone out. :)
 
Why is everyone convinced that this will sell out? I really hope it doesn't b/c I have school until 3:00 but the school is almost next door to a vzw corporate store so I was planning to go buy it after school the day it came out but if it sells out ill have to get it online and wait for shipping. Y'all are ruining my dreams

PERSONAL OPINION TO FOLLOW:

I don't think it will sell out completely. I do think that some stores will sell out, and I think they are going to sell more than they ever thought they would. BUT I don't think they are going to be experiencing a shortage such as the DInc debacle.
 
Nope, it is real money. It is a tournament so $700 from my $38,000 stack isn't that bad. Plus, you have to go back and read the edit. All good. :D

You are having a lot more fun than me. Work work, check forums, laugh, work work, check forums. Rather. Rinse. Repeat.
 
Well, I'll be standing at the door before they open, money ready, and offer a big honkin' commission to whatever rep will meet my criteria:

(a) A virgin, untouched Nexus from down in the stack;
(b) I put the battery in, turn it on and do all the stuff to it;
(c) They stand at their computer and do the dirty work;
(d) I sign the papers and walk out with my new Nexus and a semi-retired (but still Beloved) OG Droid.

And if they won't do that... I'll find a rep who WILL.

The Dinc supply problems were due to limited supply of the displays. Haven't read anything about that type of problem. Should be fine.
