Not really sure myself but I heard someone talking and they said there are all kinds of cool stuff there. Like they said there is this really bright thing in the sky called the sun. Sounds kinda scary to me.

I'm going to check this sun thing out on Tuesday or Wednesday, sounds very interesting.
 
So what is the general consensus, do we wait for a midnight announcement, and if so what is the likelihood of it happening at midnight? And if not midnight, what other times are you guys expecting?
 
Are there any other legitimate rumored phones for Verizon in early to mid Q1. Since GNex appears to be pushing I'd like to see what I could get if I wait a few more months.

No current rumors... However CES is in Jan and that is were we usually get a peak at whats come next year.

Don't kid yourself. There are very promising technologies that will hit the market early in 2012...but other carriers have had better phones than Verizon *all year long*...VZW won't get those techs until late summer.
 
I remember when the rumored date was Nov. 3, and in October I was telling myself "only a couple more weeks!"

Oh how foolish I was....


...was? What am I talking about? I feel for this same BS like 3 or 4 times since then. I am still a fool :(

0% chance at midnight.
50% anytime monday.
50% tuesday
50% wednesday
50% thursday
50% friday
50% saturday
50% anytime after this week.
50% chance they announce it from the ISS.
50% chance it came out in a distant galaxy but the light from its source has yet to reach us. On that note, if you believe in the multi-verse theory, 100% chance it came out long before any of us were ever born.
50% chance I decide not to buy it.

Basically who the hell knows.
 
There was that ridiculous quad core HTC phone with a strange design, but that's probably not headed for Verizon (and even if it was it wouldn't be for a while I think).

EDIT: HTC Zeta rendered, rumored to pack 2.5GHz quad-core CPU and Ice Cream Sandwich (update: concept) -- Engadget
^This.

Not a good looking phone. HTC hardware design is always a bit off or bland IMO. Well if it looks like Verizon is truly going to DeNexify this thing I might get the Rezound. I like that it is a little smaller in height and width dimensions than the RAZR / GNEX.
 
OTD is a male?

Ummmm, no.

Negative, unless she has lied to everyone!

Oh, no! You're on to me! Next you'll discover that I'm really an iPhone user too. :p

Now there's an interesting thought. Were there vampiric cavemen? Oh and I think cavemen would be much, much older than 2000. A little over 2000 though and you could say you partied with Jesus. :D:p

Come now, you know there is no way I'm going to be thinking rationally about world history timelines at moments like that. ;)

So I just read through a million pages of posts, and the one question I have is:

Why do so many people keep assuming OTD is a guy? Does the girl vampire in her avatar look masculine? No one has ever heard of the famous Anne Rice novel (Queen) Of The Damned? Just stop it!!!

I can't figure that one out either. It's a picture of a woman people!!

Well, to be fair I have seen guys with girls as their avatar before and tech sites are typically full of guys sooooooo..............

It was also a very good movie. Too bad Aaliyah died way too young. :(

The movies were ok. The books are amazing.

Clearly I biffed twice in that post! Referencing a lady's age and typing too fast and leaving the "s" off of she! :D

lol :D Obviously none of it really bothers me. I was a little shocked that you'd pick two thousand though. I mean I'd be typing in Latin or Aramaic or something. Old English at the very least.;)


Now I feel like BB with the multi-quotes.

Alright, I've got a hockey game to finish watching.

Ya know, in all seriousness, I should amend my monday prediction: 0%. I really don't think we're going to hear a peep from VZW- possibly til late in the week AT BEST!

Hope I'm proven wrong, because this no shave til Nexis beard is incredibly itchy, but things just simply don't look good.
 
BTW is anyone else interested in getting to use Google Wallet? I know I am. Hopefully Verizon begins pushing NFC payments just like Sprint did with the Nexus S 4G.
 
Sorry Han good sir, I have to kindly disagree with that statement. Whether you like P3 or not, you have to consider the variance we've seen within even the 'TRUSTED' sources here. What is fact one night, can and in fact (in my opinion) most likely will be thrown out the next day by the decision makers on high. Everyone, EVERYONE who is being called a source has had to change their statements to reflect this reality. Not that they're lying to anyone, they're just passing along old info thinking its new and relevant. If you flame one source, you have to flame them all.

Secondly, you're equating the murder of a United States President to mis-statements about a cell phones potential release. Hardly a comparison- I know you meant well, but that's a ludicrous statement.

Of course it's a ludicrous statement. I'm known for those.

And sorry, once the Windsock spewed his garbage about problems with Samsung resulting in Verizon not carrying the Nexus, and then Verizon announcing it the very next day, that was it.

He revealed himself as an idiot that just throws stabs in the dark and once in a while he gets lucky. He's good as a dev; he should stick to that and let the real insiders deal with dates.

His tweets in the 48 hours before Verizon announced:

Now for all of you telling me: But they have a trailer, and a video..Until its announced by VZW, that all means squat. Phones get cancelled

Remember I said last night, no mention of VZW..now u know.

@Miami1683 You know we've talked about this device for MONTHS, I want it worse than most, but my want can't make it happen...

U frustrate me people....u have nothing but your own intuition and you state it as fact in the face of people who have actual working knowledge of the situation.

I wouldnt sell any vzw phone in anticipation of getting the nexus..that would be a very bad idea!!

@nadamany im not allowed to talk about it..just nothing is set in stone until u see it on the shelf

If u sent me a msg telling my i'm full of bs, plz tell me/us what u know,don't quote a blog or someone esle, what do u know from ur sources?

If u don't have an inside source, and will quote a utube video, or BGR,DL,AC, or even me, then stop telling me what u know..ok

Anyone here old enough to remember VZW being featured on the Nexus One pre-order page? How did that work out?

He's a douche and an attention whore.
 
BTW is anyone else interested in getting to use Google Wallet? I know I am. Hopefully Verizon begins pushing NFC payments just like Sprint did with the Nexus S 4G.

Yeah Google has a nice site for Wallet that displays all the stores in your area that have it. It will be tempting to try it for no reason..

Unlikely due to their contract and involvement with ISIS. You might see it post ISIS mobile payment system implementation, but unlikely prior to that. The T-Mobile and AT&T Nexus S devices still don't have wallet officially. Google has stated at the Google Wallet talk that they did not intent to bring Wallet to devices without carrier approval, but they were working with carriers to get this. Thus far it has yet to happen with any ISIS carrier. I don't imagine Verizon will be the first.
 
What odds are greater? Getting struck my lightening or winning the lotto? I dont know so I'm just gunna go with lotto...

There is a better chance of someone winning the MegaMillions / Powerball then us seeing an announcement tomorrow.

(on a side note, I've been nearly struck by lightening. It hit the tree I was standing under.)
 
Caleb is a decent backup. You did see that NFC game last season right?

I saw them lose.

Yeah, he's shown flashes. But nothing spectacular.

Either way, Forte accounts for a lot of the offense. We'll see if he can keep it up without a credible passing game. Teams are going to load up 8 in the box now, and we'll see how deserving he really is of a big payday.

Didn't Philip Rivers play with a torn up knee in the playoffs his 2nd year. If Cutler's nemesis can do it....

Apples and oranges. A lot depends on the severity of the tear. One knee injury can make it excruciating to even stand, let alone walk, while others can result in no pain while standing but will almost make you pass out if you step to the side.

He's tough. That shouldn't be a question.
 
Uh no. You try playing with torn ligaments in your knee. I think it is so stupid to continue questioning his toughness when he gets beat up more than any other quarterback because of our O-line and yet keeps on bearing down in the pocket and making throws he shouldn
