I'm beginning to get extremely irritated by all these TV commercials from Verizon that aren't about the Galaxy Nexus...

I don't believe in TV commercials. Besides Football, or sports in general, I think everything we watch is recorded :o

Look at HTC go! They're aesthetic design imo has been rather static, but this is supposed to be loaded with an S4 snappy, ICS, qHD SAMOLED, 8MP shooter, and come in at under 8mm thick.

Looking like thin-is-in

HTC Ville

I'm with you on Sense it's not for me I used it for too long. But I think it's eye candy and the best 3rd party UI out there. It's also by far the smoothest. All my onion of course.

And yeah I'm in this GN thing for the long haul as well ;)
 
To the people that are familiar with sense: Will you miss sense after going to vanilla? I know all the hate that is out there for these bloated skins on android but there are some nice features to sense. Just wondering if anybody else is concerned with going from sense to pure vanilla.

Wow, I didn't know this forum existed until just now! Thanks Magdelaine!

I've been getting skewered in the Bionic forum for mentioning the Prime in their presence. :rolleyes:


EDIT:

Han, it's me, Han. From the future.

You're an idiot. It's almost December on my side, and no word yet.

Get the Bionic and save us 3 months of torture!!

I read Han's post about his edit too, but it still pleasantly caught me by surprise and also made me lol while I was reviewing the first 30 pages (damn you 3vil!)

It was interesting reviewing the first few pages of rumors. Some pretty damn close and some out in left field. It's also interesting to see the names of those still here and names I don't recognize. (I've only been following this thread since around 17,000)

There are the naysayers to Sense. There are those who love it. Some say there isn't an in-between, but I'm in-between.

I missed Sense at first when I flashed my 1st AOSP rom. Vanilla looked so boring, but I was astonished at the speed. This was several phone generations back though, and times have changed both hardware and Sense software improvements/enhancements. I have the Incredible.

With all the apps/widgets out now you can get a "Sense-ish" look on any Android phone sans some of the handy Sense features.

I'm sure there are many out there who are pondering this switch.

Ordering through CostCo's online mobile phone reseller, you don't need to be near a store -- and more to the point you don't even need a CostCo membership! I'm getting a free case and car charger bundle, oboy.


Hey, I used to listen to a crystal radio (no plug! no batteries!) set I built from a Heathkit. Would fall asleep to CBS Radio Mystery Theater which often scared the crap outta me. There was one story about a vampire grandfather's clock. Skeeeeeery, OTD woulda loved it! One morning I woke up w/the earplug still in to the loud Ooga Chaka! Ooga Chaka! of the song Hooked on a Feeling. :eek:


And I brought a high-power magnifier with me (probly strange looks from the staff, but I tried to be nonchalant). Yeah I could see the RAZR subpixels with 'em, but not really w/my regular vision-corrected eyes.



Well I get engaged in tech bickering discussions, but no interest in bashing anybody's phone.



Yeah, RAZR display was nice w/great colors, but for extended text reading I'm expecting my Rezound to be better suited. Rezound thickness didn't bother me in the slightest, and it's said to be better one-handed than taller/wider RAZR. I've come around a little on non-removable batteries (may invest in 11000 external), but still prefer a replaceable as on Rezound and Nexus.

BLUEBIKER...HELP! I have tried several times to trial order a phone just to see if I could without a COSTCO membership, but it always ask for a member number. Is there a special link to order a wireless without being a member?

P.S. I can't get that song out of my head now!:p
 
So a couple thoughts I figured I'd share with all you late nighters.

First, just played with my cousins 4s and I have to say the camera is pretty impressive. Goes to further the idea that MP aren't the end all because we took a couple of the same pictures and his pictures looked great and the ones from my incredible look like garbage (8MP garbage mind you :D).

Second, with that being said, in looking at some of the pictures posted online from the SGN, I'm not sure the camera can hold its own against the 4S... I really really wanted it to be as good, but sadly it just doesn't seem like it's the same quality of sensor as the fruit companies product.

And finally (sorry I know this is long, but if I don't post it now I'll fall asleep and forget) once this phone does come out, where does everyone go once they close this thread?? I still want to hang out with everyone and nerd out over our different experiences and mods.

Speaking as someone going the other direction (OG Droid -> Rez), I'm not really expecting to be thrilled w/Sense. From an hour's playing in the store today, it seemed like an okay experience, no idea whether I'll grow to enjoy it or just plaster it over with a launcher. For advanced users I doubt it matters either way, as they'll just customize it however they prefer.
