Has anyone given a review of the GN screen in comparison to the Rezound. There were several websites doing a closeup comparison of the difference between the Razr and the Rezound and you could really tell the difference in font definition. I would like to see a similar review of the GN and the Rezound.

Most of you make annoyingly stupid remarks to Verizon expecting them to give you something free just because you're upset a stupid phone isn't out. As cool as it is, its a freakin' phone.

That's not my point. If you have an employee completely devoid of interpersonal skills as they relate to customer, then perhaps you should not let that person contact said customers. That's common sense.

Who said anything about trying to get anything for free out of them? I want them to give us a damn release date. I guess I don't want them to charge me for that, so in that sense, I do want something for free.

If you had read the email that I sent, posted way back, you would know that is all that I asked for.

Me too. I love GMusic. Use it daily... all day. It does take a while to upload but well worth it.

I have about 30,000 digital tracks. Not counting the storage room of boxes with physical CDs. Roughly 5,000 CDs and a couple hundred Records. Could be more, I haven't done my regular inventory/cleaning in a while.

Yeah, I used to run a music store. In fact, I got rid of half my collection. At one point I probably had about 10,000+ CDs. Again, just a guess. Music loves me.

The #1 thing I was hoping they would announce yesterday was a price to increase the storage past 20,000 songs. I love using the google music service, but can't upload any new music without removing songs (not to mention that about 30% of my library isn't available)

As for the length of time it took to upload. With Fios it took about a weekend for my library to upload, so it wasn't too bad. I just left the computer running for a couple days and it was done.

Motocast streams from your computer to your phone, you don't have to upload to their server.

I want access so I can listen to what I want whenever I want ;)

I'm trying this audiogalaxy right now, its taking a long time to add my music to it too.

Check out subsonic. Took a little doing to get it set up, but it has an amazing amount of features. You can even give friends their own username and password and cap off their upload limits individually. I use this app every single day. Note of caution though - it will put your data usage through the roof, so unless you have an unlimited plan you might want to think about it. I guess that would go for any streaming music service though.

I too am worried about that "snap" connection. Hopefully we will not need to do a battery pull to reboot.

It's intriguing that's for sure. I'm looking forward to some hands-on reviews to give us more insight into the battery and the back cover. I seem to remember Google/Sammy saying it was 'flexible' so that make account for why it seems strange. Maybe it's just different.

Yeah I don't know about all of you but when I have headphones in it generally means I'm listening to music and the phone is going into my pocket. Whether the phone is upsidedown in my pocket doesn't matter to me at all.

Well when it's IN your pocket orientation doesn't matter. :p

What I'm saying is that when you go to pull it out of your pocket you can easily grab it by the bottom which is how most people will hold the phone. The convenience here is that you don't have to rotate it around to make a call. This is my biggest worry... dropping it as I'm flipping it around in my hands. I've been fortunate enough to not drop my phone while it's been in my hands.

I've dropped it twice. Once it came out of my shirt pocket while jumping for a frisbee (bad idea). The other time I had it in my lap while riding in the car. Hit the ground when I exited the vehicle.

Thank you! I won't comment further on the rooting unless I go to the root section however I was excited to see this can be done on a mac as well because I will most likely get this during work hours and that's what I have siting in front of me. :D

Yes ADB is platform independent.

I believe P3Droid made his 1-click for all platforms as well. Just wanted to note here because I know this thread has the most activity.
 
That CSR you talked to won't and obviously isn't allowed to give you a release date, there is nothing they could do for you. Though you are correct in saying some of them are far better at saying it in a way that even though you don't get the information you want, you won't end up mad at them.

While researching Google Music today, I ran across this blog post concerning digital rights and Google Music. Now this would not apply to anyone here of course, but does anyone have any thoughts on this:
Will Google Remove your Pirated Music from the Cloud? - Howtos, Rants, and Reviews

i did notice that i had about 25 songs that weren't uploaded... some of which were not supported file types (not sure what they were....) but the others were songs that had DRM tags. i definitely was a little disappointed about that, even for how small of # it was. honestly, not sure if the songs were from the good ol' napster days or what... i didn't look too closely.

i sure hope they aren;t out to become some kind of arm for big brother. that's un-google. i'm not condoning dl-ing music/media illegally either, but that's definitely disconcerning.
