Zero tolerance policy on f-bombs and other vulgarity is still in effect.

Yeah sorry about that :(
 
Congrats on 50K everyone! :) Spent the last few hours catching up, haha.

600K? Please. That's just a couple of months. We'll still be here.

We'd better not still be here!

Wait.. need to reactivate? You have unlimited data and you have to reactivate it? Can you lose it if you're technically out of your 2 year contract?
Click to expand...
Yeah, I think so; if your contract expires, you have to pick a new one - and since unlimited is no longer an option, you'll have to go with one of the new tiered plans.
 
Gonna have to go with a RAZR today I believe. This Continuum has gotten very nearly unbearable and I still don't believe the GN will be out before the 8th.

It really is shameful with how verizon treated continuum owners as far as updates go. I complain that the charge is just getting GB, but for a phone barely a year old to still be on

My son had a debate on the con's of water conservation, have you ever thought of the con's for it. Not easy.

Dry plants burn easily is really the only thing coming to mind, so I guess talk about green space. You could, this is a reach, make the argument that water rights would restrict plant growth which would lower the level of clean air and actually make the water dirtier

There has to be someway to argue that instead of conservation you need smart allocation
 
It seems a lot of people make the assumption that Verizon is delaying this because of sales of other phones or just because they have the right to for various reasons but besides Hans sister saying it is the mucky mucks saying no to the release on 'x day' there appears to be more indications it is software/hardware issues holding it up.

I bring this up because there is no indication positively one way or the other of either scenario just speculation which adds to more speculation of a new phone coming out so since they did this w/ the rezound and razor they are going to do it w/ this phone too and push out the Nexus even further.

I don't subscribe to this idea. I think they are working on some issues that popped up and want this phone to be everything it is hyped and hoped to be to carry sales well into 2012 and make it a springboard for future versions to be built upon and truly compete head to head w/ the iPhone. It will be here soon I am sure there are people working on this around the clock and some may have even missed Tgiving dinner because of it.

my $.02 and tossing some love at Verizon.

There seems to be evidence for both viewpoints - I think the Black Friday ad and the Best Buy snafu indicate that the phone was supposed to be out by now and is indeed being held back while proofed for unexpected bugs. On the other hand, we've also gotten pretty solid reports from insider sources that the delays are purposeful and a marketing ploy.

But the only true evidence we have had points to the delay because of possible software/hardware issues and not a marketing ploy and even that evidence is speculative at best.

Agreed it is annoying that we get no official word but they did say end of year. I would rather have no date except for 12/31 then a date that keeps getting pushed back.

My paper on the Theory of Constraints (can you say BORING?) is due today and I have managed to get halfway on it by typing a few sentences, refreshing and catching up on this forum and repeating...

When it comes to homework I am of the "Why do tomorrow what you can put off until the day after?" I kinda think Verizon adheres to this very same philosophy :p:(:mad:

I have a paper on CSI for a Forensics class.
at 40yrs old I'm working on my second degree. My 1st degree was in theatre, now, I've got my sights set on the FBI, I want to be a profiler....seriously)
It's due tonight. So, I'm glad it gets dark earlier now...it puts me in panic mode. :eek:
The paper is how CSI is scientifically unrealistic ...so...it'll write itself.
:D

Well, the issue is that the bug fix idea is rather sketchy too - if it's a hardware problem, Verizon is probably screwed, because several hundred thousand units have probably already been produced. However, Google and Samsung released a statement in the UK indicating that the volume bug (likely the one being fixed) could be fixed via an OTA software update; however, this begs the question as to why the delay is being held back here if it's a solvable issue.

Watch a couple of Mythbusters episodes as research and should only take you an hour or so after that. :)

The volume bug doesn't exist on the LTE version, that's been confirmed by various engineers. It's a result of the 900 MHz band interference, but the LTE version doesn't use that frequency.
 
At least I have the Texans game to keep me from thinking of the Nexus. Looks like a good game. This bionic comes up with new problems everyday, lets hope the Nexus releases soon.

That sounds like an interesting field and much less dry than my topic. I am finishing my degree in Industrial engineering. I don't know about you but I am much more efficient in panic mode!:p

BTW I am 36 and this is my 1st degree:o

Could be Verizon is saying "prove it" because they have learned their lesson from the Bionic fiasco. Maybe, just maybe Verizon has set forth a new SOP that says they were no longer releasing sub par phones 'fix it before the consumer gets it'...I haven't heard of any major issues w/ the Razor or Rezound.
