sorry for the noob questions, but wtf is Carrier IQ?

Rootkit, Spyware, (Malware?) put on the phone by carriers/manufacturers that tracks and send your every move to the CIQ company. Verizon denies using it and it hasn't been found on any Verizon android phone.

I'm an old school bug owner! First car was a 69 beetle with 72 1600 that I rebuilt! This was the book I used to do just about everything to that car.

I've sacrificed quarts of blood to the gods of farfegnugen!

fantastic book, still in print. Went through 2 of them due to grease/oil/gas stains. Helped a couple of friends rebuild bugs with this book.

Just found this via a quick Google search for ya -- note the folders in the dock.

Looks a bit cluttered for my taste. I plan on using circle launcher and making it invisible to make more of my apps easily accessible. It's too bad there is no scrollable dock like with LauncherPro.
 
From the Verge's review of the Prime:

Asus has kindly decided to equip the Prime with a better 600-nit SuperIPS+ panel, which has been optimized for outdoor viewing. The 1280 x 800 Gorilla Glass screen is beyond bright and has very, very wide viewing angles; there’s no color distortion at any angle. You can toggle the SuperIPS+ mode on and off in the status control panel, though the plussed SuperIPS setting is really just designated for "outdoor use." The difference isn’t all that noticeable indoors — it’s a tad brighter when SuperIPS is switched on — however, when I took the tablet outside the difference was more drastic.

I wish they had this feature in phones. Is IPS not doable on a small screen, or something?

I'll be using one folder in the dock and the rest singular icons -- I think it may look less cluttered.

But still just want the phone to act on all the things I am planning on doing!

Nice! I thought if we were changing our nicks to reference cars, I would have to go for Lexus-Nexus. :D Drive a white LS430 that I adore.

Wait, we can change our usernames?

I use LP on my OG Droid, but I think a few "folders" down there would do the same job, without having to scroll. I'm all for it.

I like Leach at WSU. Can't way till they play the Ducks. Might be the first 60 minute football game that only last 40 minutes.
 
So the big question for me is, stick with TMo, or move to Verizon? I can get the GNex either way. If it does come out on the 8th, I will have it in hand for my trip to the new house for closing (with time to return and terminate sans ETF), which is where I really need to test signal. I also want to test it for the surrounding areas. So I plan to get the GNex, have it and my TMo phone with me, and run some sort of monitoring on both as I drive from the airport through the various towns and to the house.

Have any of you done this? I would like to use the same app for both phones, so far I've found this one that supports CDMA and GSM. https://market.android.com/details?id=com.parizene.netmonitor Other suggestions are welcome.
 
What's the good word? I have a few minutes before Lunch Duty. Then it's back to "To Kill a Mockingbird".....Are we close?

Even though I love the movie I have had similar episodes with the movie Rounders.

I also take great issue with any movie were the hero fires 60 rounds through a Beretta without reloading or I here a hammer cocking on a Glock.

Or the constant racking of a slide, or a pump on a shotgun! Why aren't shells flying out of the ejector? It irritates my wife to no end hearing me complain about that.
 
So BestBy would be launching this phone on a Sunday? or could that be "w/o" week of and we're not getting it on vz til thurs.. the 15th. WTF
 
Phew... I finally caught up!
football, Star Wars, binary, alcohol, etc etc... and now cars huh? I love this thread so much ;)

I'm really looking forward to the December 8th release!

So now it's the 11th? Oh, what's a few more days, right? :rolleyes:

If it is, then I can just squeeze in a trip to a FL VZW store before I hop on the boat the next morning. But why would they release on a Sunday?

Ugh. I can't even watch SVU because of how the lawyer stuff is portrayed. It's too distracting.

Kind of like my husband watching Rescue Me, Backdraft or Ladder 49...he can't even enjoy it because he's too busy picking apart how fake it is. :rolleyes:

the screen lists the phone as in stock on the 11th, but no street date. those screens have been wrong plenty of times, so i wouldn't put too much stock in that information
