Hey does anyone know what keyboard Steven or one of the other mods said was a good replacement for Swype? Like t9 something...?

I use FlexT9 pretty much solely. I got it free when it was offered as the free daily app at the Amazon App Store.


Edit: Just got back from seeing the new Muppet Movie with my daughter. It was fantastic. Good solid, funny comedy.

I hope there is some kind of announcement by Monday. If the 8th is really the date. maybe they will announce that on Monday.

I'm thinking not until end of next week at the earliest. They want people who just bought new phones to keep them, and that probably means a good week or so of use before the average person is less willing to return theirs.

Apparently the camera is the topic of the day. Anyone else find it strange that the shadow from the mic boom is in a different location in these photos? Almost like there is an extra light source in the GNex pic.

I thought about that too, but I think what it is that the SGS2 flash is off left which can throw the shadow to the right whereas the Gnex is centered

*somehow I missed all the above posts lol sorry

Just saw a commercial for the Victoria's Secret show on Tuesday......I have a love/hate about it but will watch it.

On topic

I sure hope we get an announcement on Monday. No logic for it to happen which means it could be possible because Verizon doesn't follow logical reasoning

Aw man, I just checked Costco.com and their membership is $55! That blows because I don't have a Costco anywhere near me. Don't feel like shelling out that much for a one time purchase.

Argh. Why can't more things be free anymore?

:(

Edit: sad face worked!

Happy face
 
sooo just for fun.

Razr was on pre-order for 16 days prior to release.

If we follow the 8th rumor we've got 14 days left, 13 if you consider this day done (which I do)

so I wonder.. when/if we'll be able to pre-order.

oh wait nevermind the phone will never be released

Costco is great about returns... even on the membership. The $55 is refundable at any time if you're dissatisfied.

My poor sister in law, for some reason she thought she could show up only 2 hours before the sale started at walmart and get the best deal there...

Anyone see the Verizon facebook post about a special deal for those who check in at verizon on facebook?

I was thinking about this earlier today. Was there ever a pre-order for the Rezound?. For some reason, I don't think there was. That would just be shear torture to not get a pre-order or solid release date some time next week. Hopefully they won't do that to us

Oooooh. I was thinking "designated hitter" but that didn't make sense.



Nope. I'm on as tight a leash as you guys. Just a little "Three Amigos" reference that nobody got. :p

I don't think there was a pre-order for the Rezound, and knowing Verizon..they probably will just ninja surprise us. Wonderful, huh?

Eh, if the 4S was an actual upgrade over the 4, that deal wouldn't seem to bad at all. But I don't think I can get used to a smaller screen.... and the reduced functionality (although it is a better user experience imho).

The shooter is most likely hand holding the cams. Its hard to micro adjust even on a tripod to get them matched with two different devices.

Flashes are oriented 90 degrees different on each phone. So one the flash is just below lense and other it's to the side depending on if taken in portrait or landscape. This will cause the shade offset on one but not other.
Click to expand...

True.

BTW, these both seem taken in landscape so the flash on the nexus ends up just to the right of the lense and shoots the shadow to the left of the mic.

Yeh.
