I went to my local Verizon store in Long Island, asked for the manager. I immediately asked if he could tell me when to expect the GNex...he said they didn't know...SHOCKER! He said everything we hear is pure speculation. I looked at the Rezound...it's not bad, but I definitely felt like I might be settling if I caved in and got it now. I definitely did not like the width of the Razr. The fit of the Rezound was much better. The only problem I have is they are offering only until November 30th double the data since I am not grandfathered in. Another reason I hope the GNex comes before end of November.

Can someone please tell me what the alternative other than SWYPE is? Steven posted it yesterday but I can't find it now.

Someone today said you could call Verizon customer support and get the double data deal WITHOUT purchasing a new phone or extending your contract. I'd try it, at least. If not, consider getting a Razr before the deal ends (which some said might be the day before BF), and pay the $35 fee to swap to the GN after it comes out.

I'd try the phone call first, and just ask. You might try calling several times, just in case you don't get a nice rep the first call.

My problem is I am coming from a crappy ROGUE...and only have a $10 a month data plan. I might just do that with the Rezound though. Didn't realize you could swap it out for the GNex ... how much time do you have to do that?

No, it means that I have to share that my widescreen THX VHS proving that Han shot first gave up the ghost recently. On that account alone, I retired my VHS player.

I have sets of both the original trilogy and the special editions on LaserDisc. Both sets are widescreen THX. I also have a pan and scan copy of Episode IV on LaserDisc.

I do have a player that still works. It will hopefully work in a couple of years when my kids will (hopefully!) get interested in Star Wars.

watching the Verge Podcast (refuse to call it the vergecast) and even those guys, who arent android fanboys like us, are stumped about whats going on..

Something is wrong with Verizon; they have the best Android phone in the world and they are pushing the Droid Razr.

Nope, nothing wrong with Verizon at all. Motoroloa is obviously lining Verizon's pockets to keep the Razr as Big Red's top-tier phone for a certain, mutually agreed upon amount of time. Think about it - if YOU were a Motorola exec and you had this device that has cost you millions of dollars to manufacture, I bet that you'd be damn sure that one of the top clauses in your agreement with your desired carrier would be for YOUR device to be exclusive for "X" amount of time.
 
I have never rooted/roomed a phone before but I just did it to my OG DROID. It is so much faster with CM7. Why didn't I do this sooner? I am hoping the change holds me over until the GNEX. I am so ready for a new phone already!
 
My impatience got the better of me. I walked in at first trying to find out what the deal was with the Gnex and ended up buying (renting) a Razr. I looked at the Rezound and the only thing I didn't care for was the Sense UI. It's more of a personal gripe mainly because I love Cyanogenmod on my N1. Plus my rep knew I was trading it in for the Gnex and to help me with my decision he gave me a $50 discount since I was a new customer.

My only gripe is whether I'll get use to the bigger screen. Oh well at least I know that I can return it in January during their extended holiday return period.

Either way that Nexus will be mine :)

I'm just about to do this too! Would you mind if I PM'd you for more details about how you did it?

That all sounds great in theory, but what about the fact that the Rezound came out like 3 days later and Verizon had (reportedly) planned on releasing the GNex as early as monday?
 
Wait....i just saw somewhere on here that double data ends November 30th? Is this for sure or just a rumored end date?

That's the first place I went. :)

Even having a small ton of OMAP4 design documents in my clutches, I found that wiki write up was great fun, and that one was new to me.

Not sure how Ducati feels about that tho! :D

(non-floating Desmodromic valves spoken here! Ok - maybe in the Lounge, that's way out there! :) ;))
