Heh! This is not a prediction, and I was only funnin with the "Got Out Of Dodge" phrase.:)

As a time killer before the GA - LSU Game I called my local COSTCO's Wireless Advocates Kiosk and spoke with the manager.

I opened with: "I understand the Galaxy Nexus is coming soon and I am wondering if Costco will have a package like the Bionic did with the OEM accessories.

He returned volley with a "Not sure about the included package other than there will be some sort of a package as the norm. The OEM package had lots of advanced promotion so most likely it will not be an OEM package. But until we get the pallet....who knows. We always include a Blah Blah..(....I'll save you that.....).

I was then informed without asking - the GN is shown on our system as "Shipped". I have no tracking data yet".

Then he enthusiastically asked if he could call when he knows more. I asked, "Know more about the package?". He said yes and to let you know when it will be available.
We exchanged contact info and I called his back to confirm.

So.............:):eek:

Lol

I love the part where you say you were just kidding with the leak attacks right before you post a leak.

:D

Seriously, though, it sounds promising, Gapi!

It sounds promising!

Wonder where Scott is? Maybe his store rep will confirm whether those 50 SGN's are on their way now?:p
 
I still have one of these badboys, and it works too.

I think it makes perfect sense that there are quite a few of us who are OG Droid holdouts. The OG was a landmark phone, with new-to-market features (turn by turn GPS, anyone? Remember how that was a huge surprise?), and the tech specs were impressive for the time.

What should have tantalized me before the Gnex? When the Dinc came out, my phone was still functioning very well. Honeymoon period, even. I also had to wait until the 2 year contract was up in order to get an upgrade (or 20 months or something).

The Bionic caught my eye, but no NFC + delays to market (and outright inferiority to the GS2, which I wanted), caused me to pass on that device.

Which brings us to th e present. Droid to Gnex. I bet there are a lot of us.

Ok, I guess it makes more sense, when you put it that way. I'm not sure if I would've been able to hold out for so long if I hadn't finagled my family members into joining my Verizon plan... My Girlfriend is on a Thunderbolt and her little brother and Dad are both using Bionics. I get to troubleshoot them... and develop screen envy, but it keeps me from needing to buy them for myself.

Heh, Survival! I realized too late that I should have put a :) in that post but........
 
Idk what you guys are talking about with that sunshine and warmth up there! I need me some good old snow. My Burton is waxed and sharpened its been staring me down lately!
 
Man this thread is slow today.

Off topic:

Just got all caught up with "Homeland". I strongly recommend it. I don't like starting new shows, but this one is definitely a keeper. The writers aren't afraid to throw some major curve balls, and it's very exciting!

On topic:

Seriously, did Scott disappear?

That's the problem. My board is ready to go, but no snow. Just gray and drizzly. :(

You're doing it wrong - I have a 5-line family plan and nobody (besides me) cares about phones, so I always have plenty of upgrades. :D
 
This thread has been unusually slow, my F5 key isn't getting his rounds, particularly last night and today. People are probably just giving up, quitters! :)

I've got 4 numbers and two don't care :) but with using one extra for the Gnex only a 6 months later, not sure how it will play out for my next super phone. Although I am hoping that a Nexus can and will last more than 2 years for me.
 
Since everyone is listing their phone history, I figured I may as well too

Ericsson SH888 (broke)>Nokia 2220(still have)>T-Mobile PocketPC Phone Edition(still have)>Nokia 6820(broke)>Moto RAZR V3(still have)>T-Mobile MDA(still have)>T-Mobile G1(using currently)>Samsung Vibrant (sold)

Next up...Galaxy Nexus :-)

I agree the hide button is ridiculous and getting out of hand. If someone WANTS to use it then fine. But to force everyone to do it is stupid. The OP has ALWAYS said its a lounge type thread and off topic conversations are acceptable and expected. So what is there to complain about? I just don't get it.

How would you feel if you were driving 60mph in a posted 60mph zone, but you got stopped and given a speeding ticket bc despite the sped limit sign, the neighbors said you should have been driving 50mph instead.

I for one refuse to use the hide tag and don't really care if I get banned. The OP says off topic conversation is acceptable donor either is or isn't.
