Hello, I'm a new member, but not necessary new to this forum. Since I spend so much time here, I decided to become a member. I just want to introduce myself.
I found this forum when looking for a replacement for my ageing unreliable LG Chocolate 3. I decided my next phone will be a smartphone because my friends have them and I'm jealous of their capability. My first phone was an LG VX8300 (I miss the reliability of that phone and the nearly two week battery life), which I replaced it with the Chocolate 3. This phone has had problems since I got it, but since they were random and sometimes different, Verizon could not duplicate them while it was under warranty. I just lived with it for almost three years now and looking forward to replacing it.
I've never really liked the size or cost of smart phones. I didn't like the whole $30 a mouth data plan, which is like an extra $720 for two years. But now I think it'll be worth it. I love the small size and lightness of my Chocolate 3, but I realize a smartphone will be larger, so I decided if its going to be large, it should be thin, so I decided to get a Samsung Galaxy S2.
Since the SGS2 is available in other countries, I figured the USA would get it in the near future. So I waited and waited and waited. Then when we did get it, Verizon chose not to, but promised something better in the near future, the Nexus Prime.
So I gave up on the SGS2 and started following the Nexus Prime thread pretty much from the beginning. And waited and waited and waited.
It's been's been exciting following this phone and always looking forward to coming home from work and getting on my computer to check this thread (cant do it from my phone). I think it'll be worth the wait, and when we do get our Gnex phones, we'll appreciate it even more. I keep waiting while missing calls because my Chocolate 3 always turns itself off or doesn't ring or even vibrate sometimes when someone calls so I get voicemails because I miss calls.
I think its crazy to have over 25,000 posts in a thread about a phone that is not for sale.
To end my first post, we joke about the Apple guys being "Sheep" or "Isheep". I like to think of us as a heard of cattle waiting in line to be milked for stimulation and relief. While entertaining each other by Mooing over 25,000 times in the mean time. I feel as if the gate to the Verizon Wireless Ranch was opened up and I walked in and to the back of the line. MOO!
