Maybe the responsible thing for you to do would have been to not tell anyone about this before checking to see if it was ok.

just a suggestion

EPIC FAIL!!

Actually, I disagree for these reasons:

1) We all now KNOW that the date is confirmed.
2) He got us more infos. Bravo, bro.
3) He did check and we're all the wiser for it.

Everyone is happy, now, right? Let me see you all smile!!!! :) <----muuuuuch better!!!! :)

So, now that we're all just patiently waiting for the 9th to come, I thought I'd share this fun little air travel OT:

I packed up late last night/early this morning due to laundry machine issues, and just kind of tossed my stuff in my bag. So, when I got to the airport, I figured I should double check my bag just to make sure that there wasn't anything in there that I didn't need. As I'm digging through, I come across a little plastic container. I open it up to find that it is holding spare exacto blades that I had from when I was moving. Good thing I checked, I don't think security would have appreciated me trying to get razors through.

My main question is, do you think Verizon would have shipped a Nexus to a holding cell?

Yes they would,and there would be 1 very happy correction officer with an early X Mas present.

There seems to be a little confusion about the exact date. Is it the 8th or the 9th? Cincy's rep said the 8th, but is that a hush-hush early deal?

What I mean is, when should I be going to stalk my local corporate store? :p

how can you tell what stores by you are considered "corporate stores"?

"Authorized retailers" have to display something saying that in the front window. Corporate stores are usually large and have "Verizon" displayed very prominently.

Aww I dont have any corporate stores close to me then. Can I assume the premium retailers receive stock after the corporate stores or is there not telling?
Click to expand...


Most of the time they receive shortly after. Sometimes they'll have it on launch day. I don't understand the how's or why's though.

Ya know, my full-time job as a sub-contractor probably wouldn't mind. However, I doubt that it would go over very well at my part-time (might as well be 2nd full-time) job at the airport. ;) Can you imagine me checking you in like that? Or completing and relaying weather obs to dispatch, flight crews and operations like that? I don't think they'd consider that reliable and safe information hahaha.

So is the FCC the best place to file this complaint or the BBB or Spam all of the news channels with email????

Me thinks all of the above

Probably with the state Attorney General office, but doubt they'll do much. I presume it'll have to be pursued by the Fed Gov't to get anything done (antitrust violations.)

OFF TOPIC:

As much as I hate seeing the Bears season go down the drain, Forte should take his sweet time coming back. The Bears didn't want to pay him, so why should he risk his health to help them? Frakking penny pinchers.
Click to expand...


Seriously I don't know why he doesn't have new contract . The offense as a whole is pissing me off . You'd think the rest of the team would step up when Cutler and Forte went down and they did the opposite. The Oline was awful the last two weeks, DROPS ( Mike Williams at the Goal Line come one) Marion Barber with the stupid illegal formation on a open TD.
You've got a back up QB with no experience and the team plays like that. Good news is if they finish 2-2 they'll probably still get in the playoffs but it won't matter if Cutler doesn't come back .

The only part of the team stepping up is the Defense they've played lights out the last two weeks (even if it was against the Chiefs and Raiders )

here's a random question - my phone is in my girlfriend's name because she gets a monthly discount through her job. i'm on the account as an admin, and it's my address on the account (we live together), but the actual account is under her name and SSN.

if i'm able to get them to move up my upgrade date (currently 12/29) so i can go into a store and get this thing on friday, or pre-order and have it shipped to me, does she need to be there with me or am i alright since i'm an admin on the account? this is the first phone upgrade i'm doing since switching my account into her name...

since this thread moves wayyyyyy too fast and i'm already almost two pages behind and didn't get a response yet...

BUMP. lol

Never Summer makes boards called the Legacy and Evo. Strange coincidence. Maybe HTC is branching out into the winter sports industry - which would explain that Verizon press release from earlier today! It all makes sense now.

My first board was a NS Premier (yeah a while back...)

On topic: called 3 corporate stores and got nada (we don't have an official launch date yet...). :mad:

There will be tiny words under the verizon logo that say authorized reseller (or something similar) for the non corporate stores.

I've also recently learned that if they have a tech department then it's a corporate store. (that's what the sales guys at the one in Butler said anyway)

No, the battery has acid, doesn't it? I think that might kill him. I say stuff it in a blender with a cup of chocolate milk, blend it up, pour it down the hatch.

If my simulation modeling is correct, if it hits our hands by 12/12, then P3 has met his burden and there's no phone eating.

So far, that's looking rather real. ;)

If it doesn't launch by 12/12, I will attempt to make a phone shaped cake... or maybe a phone-looking cookie, and I will eat it. I can keep that promise!
