This is entirely unacceptable....:( because of work, I have not been able to catch up from last nights postings... I am still 11 pages behind...... Aaarrrgggg....:D

OK, Done venting, back to trying to catch up! :D
 
I can't help but to wonder....has Verizon ever silent launched a deVice add big as the gnex? Or do they every do Saturday / Sunday announcements?

I am still praying that we get some kind of announcement before I leave work today at 4, because once I leave I probably won't check in until monday again I just can't take this stress over the weekend lol.

How do you make a show/hide button for text?

OMG

These idiots.

Now they're telling me that the ESN number on this phone is "locked up until the 21st" and can they call me to program it on the 21st?

ARGH!!!

Oh to fly so high and then crash so hard. Sorry for your loss! :)
 
HanSolo said:
Now they're going to check to see if there is a store nearby that can give me a "loaner phone" until the Nexus comes out.

I asked her when the SGN is supposed to come out, because I need a phone that works ASAP, and she put me on hold for a few minutes, came back, and said "I'm not showing a date for that yet." (Thought I'd try while I was on and one of them was feeling sorry for me.)

This is ridiculous.

Time to call the VP back, IMO.
 
I just checked the local site in Cape Coral, FL, he said they have no news on release I asked about Monday he said they have not been told anything he went and checked with someone else also. He asked me to send him a text and when he finds out he will text me right again. He did tell me that black Friday until 1 the Xoom will be on sale for $199, he said if anyone was in the market for it he could save one. Let me know and I'll give you his info. When I hear on Nexus I will pass it on.

I just talked with him again and he said that "Verizon doesn't typically launch any products on Monday buy I could be wrong"

Nah, just stock MIUI. It's been an awesome phone and honestly has many more months of use left in it, I'm just ready to move on. Step into 4G, larger screen, and ICS.

I hear you. 4G LTE switch just got flipped on in my home town yesterday, so the timing of this phone is close to perfect.

Ok, here goes...I'm officially no longer a lurker. There, I did it!

While I'm here, I want to say a HUGE thanks to Steven and the rest of the team here at AF. You guys are amazing!

Welcome out of hiding! No need to be scared - only OTD bites
and i've heard rumors that no one has ever had a complaint afterwards
 
With Thanksgiving coming up I really need a Nexus to play with. Otherwise I am in for an afternoon of reading and re-reading black Friday ads. Please Verizon save us from Thanksgiving hell and release the Nexus.
 
Haven't posted in the forums in a really long time but it is good to be back. I would love to actually hear something from Big Red today. It would make for a really sweet holiday that is for sure. Been lurking for the last couple of days trying to get caught up on this crazy thread. You all are hardcore. LOL.

Did ANYONE actually read all of this? I mean I read about 1/2 of the first line and then Samsung Galaxy Nexus at the end. :confused:
 
A couple of days ago I tried e-mailing the Verizon VP Han talked to with my own questions about release date and personal situation of why I need one now. I never got a call or e-mail back. :( So I just tried sending the same message again. I really hope I will get a response this time!

The menu button is still there. It is the three little dots on the right side of the screen, next to the running apps button.
Click to expand...

This is incorrect. The 3 dots are just the home, back, and running apps buttons reduced to dot form to be less intrusive when running an app.

The menu key will either appear when an app needs it, or developers will have to adjust their apps to have built in settings/menu buttons.

Seriously, how has nobody on this forum used Honeycomb before? These questions were answered like a year ago.

Click to expand...

The three dots just means that the app has been developed for HC/ICS SDK but there are some hidden functions. You can hide them or show them across the top of the app window. Like shown here: Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich on a tablet, one screenshot at a time | The Verge

If you do not develop the app towards the HC/ICS SDKs then you will not have added the menu-like functions to the new action bar at the top. Therefore, you would see a virtual menu button show up on the bottom bar right nex to the show running applications button.
