The way I see it, if you are willing to hand your credit card to a waiter, have them walk off with it, and bring it back 5 minutes later - youre already putting a certain amount of faith in the system

This is part of the point of credit cards, they way they are used in the US. It's a pain to get a new CC #, but you just call, say it's fraud, and you're done. This is why debit cards are evil. In that case your money is missing until it's resolved.

Anyway, NFC seems nice, but it has a chicken/egg problem. It's a nice-to-have but not a feature on which I'd make a decision right now.
 
Sooo... I have been gone all weekend (since Friday afternoon) and there are way to many pages to catch up on! Can anyone give me a breakdown of the weekend news? I see the letter that was drafted but any immediate release news?
 
Realized today that I will likely be getting a tablet in January so the 16GB/32GB thing is no longer an issue...I'm all the way back in baby. Just needed time to sort things out in my head =)

So the Nexus will be released in December at the very soonest, correct?

At the very soonest, it will be released between tomorrow and cyber-Monday which is a week from tomorrow. Multiple sources are still confirming a November release, so we shall see within the next week if that becomes true or not. :)

I completely disagree. The Incredible was released in April of 2010 which makes the Rezound almost 2 years since then and you can upgrade after 20 months on a contract I believe if it still works that way which makes a release a month or so before the new year perfect timing to catch all of the 2 year Incredible contracts. The Thunderbolt was about a year after the launch of the Incredible which would have caught the 1 year contracts. In the end I think both phones were heirs to the Incredible. On another note the Rezound went back to the red internals which hadn't been done on anything but the Incredible. This is just speculation but that is what my logic has led me to believe.

I agree with you to a point. The Thunderbolt wasn't really an "heir" to anything though. It was more of a revision of the Evo made for VZW's 4G network. Being that it is the first cousin of the Evo, which since Sprint didn't carry the Incredible to begin with, the Thunderbolt is really of a different family altogether.

How can you sit there and say it will be announced tonight and released tomorrow then turn around and say it could be next month? ;)
