Is this a new binary code I'm not familiar with?

Well I don't know what the nerd rating is on Long Island but in the Seattle area it is about an 8. Folks here are pretty astute to 'better' technologies.

We lawnguylandahs may not always enunciate, but we *love* our technology.

All the discussion about on line vs in line reminds me of the George Carlin piece about getting in/on a plane!

 

[TeeJ911]

a week and a half before christmas is pretty stupid imo.

As long as they at least have an announcement and preorders before the 15th they are safe for the shopping season.

 

[jokeefe10]

If you preorder on the 6th you don't get it in the mail until after store release? That seems odd.

i think verizon does free over-night shipping

 

[woodraskam]

I'm still banking (my hopes and dreams) on the 8th. That's the last visual evidence we saw.

U Gotta Believe


Might as well get one more big dip on this roller coaster of emotions.

Depends on their mood when you order. Sometimes it's overnight, sometimes 2 day

thanks. I just ordered mine... It comes with a screen protector too.

Can anyone confirm what type of screen protector it is? Glossy or anti-fingerprint? Will it cover the whole glass surface, or just where the screen is like those pos protectors that verizon is always trying to force sell me?

Someone needs to brush up their HTML skills

 

[nypcdoc]

I've never seen a line for ANY phone at my local Verizon store. I live in Long Island, NY.

Not quite LI, but there was a line for the Blackberry Storm in Bayside and for the original Droid @ 34th St in the city. I hated both lines and accessories for the Droid were scarce.

I spent the extra buck and got it from Amazon since I have Amazon Prime and get free two day shipping with them so I should have it Monday... now only if I had a phone to put in it. At least the case will give me a good idea of the size of the Nexus in my hands.

We've all gotta realize that "launch", "pre-order", and "release" can be synonymous for some people. Going off of the assumption that some of the recent MAP documents we've seen are legitimate, the date given for the RAZR was 10/27, which we all know was the pre-order date.

So someone's pre-order is someone else's launch.

 

[zebug]

how sad is it, I tried to refresh my page after an hour-ish of inactivity on my part and it froze. So what do I think, "OMG something big happened and everyone and their mom is on AF spamming the hell out of the forum...HAS to be the GNex release"

nope, was just a bad connection

 

[truelove79]

I'm starting to think the 8th is preorder. Either way, something is hopefully going to happen next week.

 

[jokeefe10]

so quick question, i've never pre-ordered from verizon before, do most people pre-order online or call telesales?

 

[okplaya]

If only 1 Android phone was released per year the lines would be insane. One of the cool things about Android is you don't have to wait a year(+) to get a new phone. If you are like me, 6 months is the point where you get "the itch".

 

[nyg010]

The last time I spoke to a CSR from VZW, they told me you would not be able to "pre-order" if you were buying the phone for full retail (off contract). anyone know about this, or was a CSR actually right for once?

I think most of us have experienced this. Sorry it's such a crappy feeling

Depends on their mood when you order. Sometimes it's overnight, sometimes 2 day

Usually, they ship pre-orders two day to save money.

I got nailed on the Dinc launch because I paid for overnight by 9:30 so I didn't have to take off a full day form work. Some computer genius at VZW ran a script that automatically changed everyone's order to two day...

A hint: Apparently the forum software is super-smart and does it all for you. Just cut and past the URL, nothing more.

You never know when Hans will snap and go out guns blazing with the occasional debatable curse word! He just wont understand what the word "darn" does to a child's eyes until he has kids of his own!

lol. This is actually true, as you can all see from my bipolar disorder.

On a serious note, I don't want to start a whole thing here, but just to let you know, I haven't gotten any PMs from Mods asking me to tone it down, be more careful, etc.

Truth is, since my "return", I've been in contact with the mods involved, and everything is cool. No one is "gunning" for me or muzzling me, and I'm not telling anyone to go jump in a lake.

As far as I'm concerned, we're the Brady Bunch again.
