100% agree! They are playing the halftime show at Ford Field on Thanksgiving and no one around here wants them to. Lame!


Some of my friends were part of the FB protest. I think its hilairous - city wants a Robocop statue that represents an even more horriffic dystopian future of the city, but we all are afraid that Nickleback will cast Detroit in a bad light? :rolleyes:
 
I'm not 100% sure, but from my experience, it would be a staging area Verizon uses for changes to verizonwireless.com just before a change is pushed to the public site.

Earlier versions would live on an internal server before being pushed to testman.

So a temporary holding area for a new version of the site? Will we see the SGN on testman before going to the public site?
 
I think this roller coaster thread has turned me bipolar and if this keeps up I may start smoking again :o

Was on the razr fence this morning but decided to back off the edge once again.

Anyone else now know what a yo-yo feels like!?
 
Wow first time since page one that I missed an entire DAY of this thread! Will anybody be so kind as to catch me up on things? I see the date has changed in the title again. Do we have a firm date now?
 
Does anyone know of a pic or video of a woman holding/using the Galaxy? I keep reading about how big it is (yeah, yeah, that's what she said..), but it's hard for me to envision it.
I know there are sites where you can size the screen to the phone you have, and the ratio will carry over to compare phones on the screen...but, I'm a hands on kinda girl (yes, I know, that's what she said).

Actually, there are about 12 that's what she said opportunities in this post :D
 
For those Swype users that are terrified, I was once in your boat. VERY reluctantly switched to Swiftkey X, and I've never looked back. I actually think I'm faster and more accurate now than I was with Swype (which I used since it first came out).

I tried it for a week. I did like it, but I still type faster with Swype, especially with the last couple updates which have vastly improved the correction interface.

It's relatively close in side to the Charge - which I'm currently using. I'm a 5'5" slim woman, with apparently small hands. I don't have a problem using a large screened phone unless I'm doing something naughty like texting while driving. And it still fits into my pockets (except those girl's jeans pockets that are really just for looks and you shouldn't even keep a credit card in because everything falls out). I tend to keep it in my front pocket if I put it in one because I don't want to sit on my phone!

Hope that helps a little -- I believe there were some photos from the announcement in China of the female phone models (is that a term?) holding it as well.

Firm-ish. Check out the OP for links to the info. Both Han's sister and The Source have stated the week of the 21st.

Hey Han, Great News!! I followed your lead and contacted the VP Of National Customer Service...I explained to them the awful service I had received and that I really need a phone but all I want is the GNex and I'd rather not unethically "rent" a Rezound or Razr...So they decided to send me a Droid 3! Nice!! :)
 
Friendly YouTube Note :)

OK - I fixed the formatting issues - here's the tip -

2 BIG things -

First - please don't use the Image tool or [ img ] [ /img ] tags (added spaces so you could see the idea).

Please use instead the web link or [ url ] [ /url ] -- or just copy the link in, pretty often we just auto-convert it for you (either way, our site software knows how to do YouTubes - again, no spaces on those url tags).

(I fixed the broken ones I found. ;))

~~~~~~~~~~

Second - always link just the raw vid - your url should sort of look like this -

http : // www youtube com /watch?v=D9qpDjafWRM

Again - I added spaces but I think you know what I mean in the first part of that example. :)

The thing about the second tip - avoid anything after the "v=XXXXXXXX" business - no embedded anything, no player anything, no size anything, just no anything. That extra stuff in a YouTube link is trying to do what our software already does.

~~~~~~~~~~

Those are the two big deals on YouTubes - hope this helps! :) ;)

~~~~~ PS to Han -

Your earlier images had some key data at the end - when the keys expired, so did the images. I tried fixing them as just url links, but no soap, sorry.

If an image does not end in a known type, like jpg, gif, that sort of thing - expect it to fail either right away or soon thereafter.

Again - hope this helps (and gets noticed in this flood!!!). :)

That's actually bad news... would have much rather has him say "just go buy a Nexus on Monday"!!!
