Is anyone else just a teensy bit sad by the fact that if our phones are released Monday this thread gets closed? Or am I the only one?

there's a lot of useful info in here, but too much off topic. and when people posted funny things, they would get reprimanded. and then you guys all go to bed at 8pm, while i'm on here til 1 or 2 am. no, not gonna miss it too much
 
OMG....I finally caught back up. It sucks when my job gets in the way of things that are more important ;)

My GNex summary for 11/16/11
1) So I witnessed 31k this morning and missed 32k this evening.
2) Han Solo became a Verizon Fan Boy
3) Black Friday release date rumors
4) Sister of Solo says week of 21st
5) Steven58 has a good source but types slow (hopefully Early improves this in the next version)
6) BB's avatar is my favorite yet


Nice summation well done ;-)

That about sums it up! Pretty good day in my book :)

Just a bit.. it's been an epic journey. The thread may be gone, but we'll still have the forum. Of course, nothing says we can't have a huge after release thread talking about how awesome our phones are now that we have them. And, of course, the things we find wrong with them. Have to keep the manic rollercoaster going!
 
This was my first PM....




Then I immediately got this next one:



Dear Source,

I just have to tell you how grateful I am to know you and to call you my friend. Furthermore, I'm grateful that you care about us. I hear it in the tone of your voice. As I told you, I've dedicated this thread to you, because your inside information has been a chief driving force in it. I'm sure I speak for all of us when I say heartfelt thanks. You told me how much you were looking forward to this awhile back, as much or more than we are, your having had this phone in your hands during the summer.

That enthusiasm really rubbed off on us. Thanks for everything, whowever you are. :p


Thank you Steven now I can finally see the light a the end of the tunnel! Good night all! :-)
 
I just thought I'd let everyone know that I finally prepared my Thunderbolt for shipment (transferred pictures to computer, factory reset, transferred service, boxed up) and am now rocking my sister's WAY old OG Droid (from the day it was launched). Obviously just a temporary phone until Monday :)
 
Alright now a legistic question. I am due my NE2 $50 discount, when I log into VZW, that discount shows up. However, the "promised" $50 from the presidents office does not show up. Does anyone know if that $50 can only be applied in store or on the phone with a CSR or if I can somehow trigger it online?
 
I know this is from out in left field, but now that we are that much closer to the release, does anyone know if anyone like Seidio has made an extra battery and external charger yet? I guess while I'm at it do we have any car chargers and such? Thanks.

I haven't looked into this, but one thing mentioned earlier is that the nfc antenna is on the battery. Something to keep in mind when looking for a replacement/extra battery.
 
I noticed this post has 7 thanks', none from mods. :confused:

Point of order... AndroidForums.com makes its $$$ by advertising, and you're inviting people to take their page views to conduct more or less redundant conversations elsewhere. I guess if the mods/owners don't care then neither do I, but it's something to consider.

That is a good point. I only got about 13 people anyways. And if the phone is DEFINITELY coming out within a week I may just scrap the project anyways.

Several (at least one?) mods do have links saying to follow them on twitter in their signatures. Not sure G+ is any different.

There have been some generic accessory placeholder pages found (car dock, media dock), but nothing too specific. Nothing about Seidio battery/chargers yet, but they seem like a given for a phone of this calibre!

As for car chargers, any microUSB charger that works with current Android phones should work for the GNex as well. Of course, if you're looking for something to match the GNex's style, we'll just have to wait and see ;)

Oh, and THANKS to Han(s) and Steven for this great news :D:D:D

Seido has a "coming soon" ext battery for the SGSII so I would think not yet for the SGN. They're usually on top of stuff as it releases and doesn't take too long. They make some good stuff, but imo they're batteries are very overpriced. Might have to give her a little time to get some good deals or I'm sure VZW would be more than happy to sell you some accessories.

No way, all this film study and research, it is almost game time. The thrill of the hunt is about to begin! I have been reading this thread far too long. Some people posted in excess of 2k times in here since this started, others have become guides all because they said what? We are ready to celebrate our victory in a new thread where we will complain about XYZ.

Before you know it we will all be together again in the first quad core thread, because who doesn't purchase multiple phones a year! This is why you sign your parents and grandparents up on your family plan, they will never upgrade and you know it. When they need a new flip phone pay cash from the stack you accumulated selling all your previous "must haves."

It is go time my friends!
