@Blues & Sweaty:

I think you'll likely find someone to beam with LONG before I do in this sleepy little town!

I may have to make a CL listing... not that anyone here would see it :rolleyes:

"Nexus geek desires to beam with someone. ANYONE!"

Maybe the other 2 Gnexers in Tennessee will respond :p

Ok, you have drawn me out of lurkdom. Although I don't live in TN, I spend quite a bit of time there since the state line is almost in my back yard.

:Patiently waiting on my new Gnex to materialize:
 
Checked out the Razr... well, sort of :rolleyes:

The verizon store by my house turns out was not what I thought it was. Just a bunch of dummy phones and some cheapo accessories :rolleyes: so I walked out of the joint in less then a minute. Guess I will hit up the real place later on.

I stepped into best buy and seen a dummy razr and asked if they had a real one that was live that I could check out. They did, but with like 4" of play on the cord and a demo that popped up at annoying times. First thoughts where this thing was blasted thin and light. So thin and light that I thought it may blow out of my hand in this strong wind whe have had in Denver these past few days. :eek:

The sales person said the phone was "Bad" I asked him, "Bad because the sucker is locked down?" No, bad being good :rolleyes:

The phone did not strike me with awe. The sales person REALLY wanted a sale on this phone, but he did not listen to me. I made the comment that moto had burned my feathers due to the locked boot loader. I asked what the point of a open source software that is running on the device when you cannot even get into the device to do anything with said open source software.

All I got was "Yeah" :confused: :rolleyes:

I tried to play with the camera, it seamed a bit slow, not instant but a bit faster then my DX. Then the stupid demo then a message about the sim card is needed for a feature (I forgot what) I clicked on.

I said I didnt know. For the 700$ price tag, I wanted to be able to get the most out of a phone (kind of hard to do so with Mr Encrypted Bootloader). The sales bot said I could get a bestbuy card. (He just was NOT GETTING IT) I was told the screen was the best. Um... I don't think so?

I walked away.

Man, I need some solid info on the galaxy nexus before I cave into the Moto Leaf---er Razr or a rezound. Which I was not able to locate.

Why? The phone isn't a flagship phone and even if it was Verizon announced the Bionic the day before it was being sold.

I still have my hopes up for the 17th. I haven't shaved since the phone was announced and I have a pretty big date on the 18th and I would like to not look like a lumberjack.

Oh and I've been lurking here for the past week or so.

Welcome to you too!
 
I put a message up from time to time: I want to welcome lurkers and encourage them to come out into the open and become Android Forums members. We don't bite! (Except OTD. She bites. She's a Vampyress.) ;)

We're friendly and helpful. The worst we can do is warmly welcome you guys! :)

I've seen several people say this. What's your definition of flagship phone? What's a better phone on VZW right now? At best you can say RAZR and Vigor are equals. AT BEST ;)

anyone else concerned that if you take this test drive option, that something happens to delay the GNex beyond the exchange date? Until it is actually released.....anything can happen.

I am, I'm tempted but I'm not going to push my luck. My droid x can make it.

Flagship would be something that Verizon pushes really heavily. The RAZR would be their flagship phone. The Rezound came out today and the RAZR is still the first phone you see when you go to their website.

The Galaxy Nexus is just another phone in Verizon's eyes and they are treating it as such.
