Ugh. I feel my excitement for the SGN dropping to dangerous levels. I'm at about a 2 on a scale of 1 to 10.


Desire for the Prime is rising.

Holy crap guys! I haven't been on since around 3 and I come back to an extra 30 pages or so! Geez! What did I miss? (prolly nothing)

*Anyway*

Was on the phone with VZW today and the lady told me that they had delayed the release because of a "Sim Card Compatibility Issue". Whatever the heck that means...I didn't read through the last pages so I'm not sure if anyone has posted about this yet.

When I asked about a demo unit I could try out, I used the ole "my friend's Verizon Store let him play with one" trick. She goes "WHOA! That's a big NO NO! You could get a rep. fired for saying that! Don't go spreading that!"

Well SORRY MISS! I didn't realize the Nexus was a National Secret and that if anyway were to touch it they might unleash the powers of the Ark of the Covenant! Holy smokes man!

I got to play with one without even really finishing my inquiry into whether they had a Nexus around. Not sure I even had said nexus yet and he knew what I was in the store for from how I introed my question. It was the rep in the store who was learning on the demo phone though and he was as big a fan as us.

Have a poll here to see who all has got to play with one though. Seems most are either to busy to go check or aren't finding the reps with the demos willing to show them off.

They most certainly do! Great find! I'm trying this after midnight!

However when you click on it now it says "register" and "close".:rolleyes:

I get the same thing as well. I'll just wait and check to see what is going on in the early AM. Hopefully good news.

My heart skipped when I saw that, shame it doesn't do anything useful though lol

There is no Canada site... only US and UK...
Try refreshing and going to the 2nd and 4th bullet points. It definitely says "Buy Now".

But like woodraskam said, it's not like it means anything :rolleyes:

There IS a Canada site at google.ca/nexus. With a "buy" button. You may not be able to access it from the US.
 
Hey Nexispotimuses, what's the word? I'm trying to catch up on the thread but...like...it's intimidating.

I know there isn't a release date yet, but are there any better-than-other-rumors floating around?

That would make me lean towards your usb wireless card being the issue. Since your dns is set to be using the dns settings on the wireless router and the other computers aren't having this problem. Again, the next time it drops, I'd ping the wireless router to see if you can or not.

Ok how do I go about pinging the router? (BTW, it is a modem/wireless router combo) Never had to do it before, sorry.

EDIT while trying to figure my issue out: 200th post! YEAH! K, resume normal activities.
 
So what's the consensus? Staying up til midnight just to see if anything goes down? Or is that not even a special thing anymore, it's just what happens these days?

I apologize. With the December 9th launch date getting all messed up I'm very skeptical over every little thing. sorry to lash out and call the post out for trolling. I checked the site but didn't see the bullets. I refreshed, clicked around, saw the tabs, and saw the button myself on the United States site. I feel really bad now.

It's all Goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooood :D
 
OT football:

Chuck Norris ain't got s*** on Big Ben.

Big Ben was was dropped twice as a baby.. Once on Hiroshima and once on Nagasaki.
 
When I asked for a demo unit of the nexus earlier, the rep said "one moment" and went to the back. he handed me the phone but it was just the plastic mock unit:c but he showed me the xyboard as well, which was pretty cool. I wouldn't buy one though.

The 15th seems to be floating more than others... but definitely not solid in any way.

Edit: When you ask me on the 15th, I'll say the 22nd :p

there is nothing wrong with the og transformer. Not everyone needs the latest, plus it will get ics since asus is great with updates.
Click to expand...

I have the OG Transformer and it has been awesome. With the dock it has been incredible. I also like that ASUS constantly keeps it updated with firmware fixes. I too cannot wait for ICS to come to it.
 
HanSolo said:
Do they have a crappy UI overlay? Or will it be stock updates?
Click to expand...

There is some icon changes and custom widgets and apps from Asus, but nothing really extreme like many smart phones. The biggest customization stuff is probably under the hood stuff to deal with the keyboard with it's extra battery and such. On the prime you also have the power and screen control stuff that I think is tweaked a good bit from stock. So far though honeycomb OEM customization seems to have been less extreme.

Took me over an hour to catch up on 3 hours worth of posts not bad.

The 15th is the latest rumor afaik

In cmd box type ping and then the ip address of router. I.e. ping 192.168.1.1
