I say tomorrow will be a good day. Today was a pretty good day (mostly because I got 30k :D), but also kind of scary. December release rumors give me sadness.
Hopefully Verizon banishes these foul rumor-demons back to the rumor mill from whence they came, and just give us the date.

Be happy people. We're almost there, probably ;)

We are very probably likely almost imminently close within a short time to an extremely possible release. Did I get all of the adjectives in there? :D
 
Need some advice here.... I've decided to go through with an order with Negri or Handtec, but I figure by the time Negri gets their shipment from the UK and then ship mine to me I would already have my phone from Handtec. Now the little kink in my plan is i'm already pre-ordered with Negri and should be in the first batch, not sure if i'll be in the first batch if i switch to handtec now! What would you guys do?
 
Well, I just went and picked up a Rezound to hold me over and take advantage of the double data deal.
I have to say, even though I feel guilty, I'm enjoying it! :eek:

Picked up a Rezound tonight with up to January 15 to return or exchange it. Considering that I'm coming from a Droid 2, thick is the last thing I'd consider it. Heck, it'd likely be about the same thickness if I'd gotten the extended battery, but I held off on buying any accessories. I'm liking the screen immensely so far and look forward to comparing it to the GNex's display. This thing is beautiful. My sole gripe, thus far, is that the flush power button is way to hard to easily feel and press. That'll take getting accustomed to. Also, the free Dropbox space is a bit gimmicky. You get 3Gb free extra instead of 5Gb, plus it expires after one year. Btw, it's been reported that people have been able to get the space on older htc devices, too, presumably by uninstalling and reinstalling the app. Anyway, I'll be very content until I can hold a Nexus. Except for depriving myself of a dock and spare battery until I make a final phone decision. :D
 
Breaking News......Verizon Wireless, announces it will release the Samsung Galaxy Prime, when the Android Forums breaks 100,000 post and not a moment sooner.

I don't blame you guys, but:
1. I'm don't want to be responsible for damaging a rental
2. Have to buy online through my employer and don't want to jeopardize an instantaneous purchase when the GN drops.
3. Don't want to bother setting up a phone that I may only have for a few days (grrr... weeks?).
4. This is what VZW was likely hoping for to pick up crappy RAZR/Rezound sales

Didn't see anyone bring up this point yet but the delaying for razr seems rediculous. In case you didn't notice Verizon committed to selling 120000 sgn too. I'm sure they committed to selling a bunch of razrs too but cannibilizing sgn sales by delaying to try and sell razrs instead will hurt them just the same.
 
Dropping like flies in here. I decided to wait till the 21st. I have a strong feeling the web only rumor might be true.


God I hope so anyway.
 
HTC Zeta Could be a 2.5GHz Quad-core Monster with Android 4.0

Could this be the next mega thread project for Steven58? Who know? (cue mystery music)


Dang it Steven. Quit trying to divert us from the misery of waiting for a highly likely inevitable viable imminent just around the corner not a moment too soon plausibly speculated unsubstantiated rumored release of The Game Changing Android Device of the next 45 remaining days of the year before the world is rumored to end based on a calender not used in modern day unless one is indigenous to the source of said calender.

And YOU think this is driving YOU Nucking Futs?!?!?!

I am losing it, man...

i see it like this: we already know a new moto device (droid 4) and a new htc device (edge) are scheduled for release in the next 2-3 months. this means even more product cannibalization for the razr/rezound. with no other samsung device on the horizon, the GNex will sell for awhile. in the eyes of VZ, delaying it will not move any less samsung devices overall, but they don't want to get stuck with moto/htc devices when the D4/Edge drop. gotta keep all the manufacturers happy.

P.S. i don't agree with their strategy, that is just the only rational explanation i can think of at this point.
 
Fortunately, with new releases, employees are not allowed to scoop up the new phones. VZW wants enough supply to have on hand for customers during the initial release.

Don't say that, I'm on my sister's employee plan LOL. I can't upgrade for another few weeks though so it should be good to go by then. (I hope)
