I just remembered, didn't one of our Florida members say his mom saw the GNex on a screen at Verizon? Didn't another Florida member say he was going to visit that store to verify and take pics? Did that ever happen?

Was I dreaming the whole episode?
Wouldn't that be a pathetic dream?
Would I be banned if I said what I'd prefer to dream about?

The answer to the final question is "yes".

I don't think anybody was able to confirm that.
 
Im at work and can't take the time to catch up, can anyone give me a quick synopsis of why we are all excited today? lol

Thanks!!

Only fired? How about arrested.

That was my thinking as well. But he said that he put it in his apartment to "hold" it overnight because he was afraid that it would get stolen from the office otherwise. :rolleyes:

He is a relative of someone on the board at the building, which is how he got the job in the first place. So I see why he wasn't arrested.

Ytram was able to extract official pics of the SGN from Verizon's website, which might indicate an "imminent release".

DL and Phandroid have picked the story up and posted it.

Ok.. went to my local corporate Verizon store. I spoke to a salesman who knew about phones. Refreshing.

Do you remember I said one Razr was hot? It was again. I called him over to ask him why. He pointed up to spot lights to show me that they were making the phone run hot.

That explains that. Still, the other screen on that side weren't as hot, but they warm.

We got to talking. The razr is really nice but he told me to wait for the nexus. After talking a bit, he volunteered that he had actually help the European Nexus as well as the LTE one. He told me that a tester had come into the store looking for accessories.

I asked him if it felt cheap/plastic-y. He said no. It was a nice feel and the screen was amazing looking. He did say he liked the way the razr looked more business-y, with the angles and such but recommended I wait for the Nexus, which was in final testing and would be released soon.

My ears perked up when he said he actually held it. He said he was going to one. We're close.

OPEN LETTER TO VZW:

Please release this phone. I can't take this thread getting much bigger because it will become impossible for me to beat next time.

Thanks, bye.
Love,
Steven

Yeah, I'm definitely going to look at both before choosing. With the Razr getting ICS very shortly after the GNex is released (assuming it IS released prior to the Razr getting ICS!), I think my decision will be more hardware based than anything.

There's nothing more important than reliable hardware. Having buggy hardware detracts immensely from whatever software is on the phone.
 
Verizon, please!

Aren't you worried about the enclosed battery losing it's ability to hold a charge for the 2 year contract?

Is it possible we see this thing released tomorrow??

Anything is possible but I don't think it'll be released tomorrow. I will bet on seeing something other than the sign-up page on Verizon's website very soon if these images are any indication.

I've given that consideration BUT, having physical buttons on a phone with software designed to be buttonless would likely be like mammy glands on a boar hog. Pretty useless.

No need in putting lipstick on a pig. No matter how you make it up, it's still a pig.

... It seems quite clear though the only way VZW can legally control which devices are used on their network under the latest FCC rules is if they are the primary device retailer for all devices compatible with their network.

Hmmmm. What leads you to that conclusion? FCC rules or something else?

we don't know that the new images weren't just updates to the old images. The first images could've went up in April, but the only ones we would know about are the last uploaded images.
