Google music also plays nice with Linux. Spotify? Not so much. Rdio works just as fine as Spotify. But like its been said above. I like owning my media. Thats why I have terabytes and terabytes of storage.... and boxes and boxes--rooms of boxes of music. What? I used to run a store. No, Im not that guy from the episode of hoarders who ran a music store and bought a warehouse to store his music.... but I may be one day. Ah, one day.

Or like the guy in High Fidelity...

I was a DJ in High School so I know what you mean.

I never did see a response from @VZWSupport to the twitter poll. Bastards.

Were you just looking for results or did you have a question or something? Because the results were there. Click on results: and there is no question what people were wanting. The hands down winners were around device launches, OS updates, and Other (code for us anyway, for SGN)

A series of wormholes developed by NASA and the HSA (Hawaiian Space Administration) that is designed to connect our planet to other galaxies all throughout the solar system. You'll be able to travel seamlessly to nearby stars and even other universes without leaving the comfort of your own home.

It's expected to release in the next week or two.

Where is this info coming from?

The preorders that are available in how many ever countries except the US. I would put money down that if T-Mobile was the carrier, they at least would have announced a date by now.

Every other Nexus phone has been released in the US with or before the worldwide release. Leave it to Verizon to screw it up.

Hey ladies and gentlemen, I sent an email earlier to the Vice President of National Customer service, got an email back asking for my cell number, just got a call back. Here are the main points:

1. He says that he is not aware of a specific launch date, and that even in his department they don't know until a day or two ahead of time, but that they would definitely want to start selling it before Black Friday.

2. I told him that I was disappointed in the lack of info and that I was either considering going to AT&T or "renting" an HTC device (yeah, I said it.) He replied that he would appreciate it if I didn't do that, and that he would be more than happy to send me another phone that I could return once the SGN came out "which wouldn't be very long at all, maybe a week or two at the most".

3. He reset my return/exchange grace period and I can now take advantage of the extended holiday return period in case I don't like the Nexus (ha!)

4. He applied another $50 loyalty discount to my account.

5. I'm getting a "like new" DINC2 tomorrow via FedEx to hold me over.

Guys, I know that I will sound like a total windsock, but Verizon really impressed me today.

My hope is renewed, my hope is renewed!!!

Han that's the exact thing that happened to me. If you are on these forums and you haven't done this yet, what are you waiting for? It seems that it is their decision to pay us $50 each for being interested enough in the Gnex to write to them.
 
Anyone else having problems with verizon's web page, trying to access your account? Like it saying you may have browser issues? :rolleyes:
 
between the speed of this thread and now all the music sharing explosion going on at Google+ my brain is about to combust.

So Duarte said at roughly the 25 minute mark on The Verge that you'll be able to purchase it in November. But he did use the word "purchase" and not "have" :)

On The Verge 001 full episode: Matias Duarte, Lytro camera, Droid RAZR, Kindle Fire, HTC Titan - YouTube

I can't recall if someone mentioned this earlier in the thread or not?

I think you're over analyzing it just a tad. :p

Guys, guys, let's calm down. Verizon just wants what's best for us.

It will come when it comes.

Let's not rush the chick in cracking its shell.

It will come when it comes.

I'm actually rather stoked with the new Google music so that took the misery of the gnex release date not being anounced today

Same. I'm actually an independent artist and its great to have another avenue (and such a great one in Google) to market your music and to reach fans. I must say I really am excited! Makes me want the GNex even more now.

I want to know where the info is coming from saying that Sammy is doing everything they can to get Verizon to release the phone.

Everything we are hearing is just rumors and nothing more. Not one person on this board can say for sure what the deal is on why its taking so long. Everyone just wants to jump on the "its Verizons fault" band wagon. Did Verizon ever give a firm date as to when they will release the phone? No.

I'm willing to bet there is a very valid reason why its not in our hands yet.

Eh? I've had no trouble at all w/Spotify's native Linux client. It doesn't really follow window manager conventions, but is otherwise reasonably feature complete and works fine.

So says the guy who just got an additional $50 off his upcoming Nexus plus a free Inc2 to play with until it launches (with no $35 restocking fee)...

I know, so you all will respond to me: "well, why don't you just write to them?" Because....because....well,...yeah, there really isn't an excuse.
 
I have been obsessively checking this thread and searching the Internet for days! This is getting ridiculous.

I am not sure which is worse though, Verizon taking this long to throw us a crumb or me for being so obsessed with a damn phone. :rolleyes:

But it has somehow taken on a mission status and I can't stop. :eek:
