I wish i could say two years more like 4 for me...... then i stopped playing and hit the gym and lost 55 pounds lol....

I always lose weight while I am playing WoW. Typically drop 20 lbs in a month. But even if I am playing I am still in the gym 4-5 days/wk and I run every single day.

They also complained about the OS. Yeah, ok, fair enough.

looks like my Logitech Revue is joining VZ in getting my hopes up for no reason. i just got a notification that an official update to 3.1 was available (FINALLY!!), hit accept, Revue rebooted, then said "update not available at this time."

Got my update last night after I got home from work, took a while for it to do its thing and re-orient itself, once it did, all was well. Definitely took all last night away from me thinking about the Nexus (and this forum). But overall came away a wee bit disappointed in it, mainly because I was waiting waaaaay to long for it to come in the first place (bought it on launch day for $249 in October of 2010 with expectations apps were coming soon then...) and over-hyped it in my head.

(hope I'm not doing the same with the Nexus now.... nah....)

We ever get any updates from the successful Anon Galaxy Nexus owner? Has he got the update yet for example?

It's cool that they did it but see no reason to do it other than to say "Look what we can do".

I will look for your name as I watch the highlight reel of you killing me. After the kids are in bed is my time to get slayed shamelessly.

Lol!!!
You have nothing to worry about; I'm too old to be that good, haha.

Guys, the first bullet on the page now says "Buy Now" too...

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN!?

prolly nothing lulz

Galaxy Nexus

It signs you up to be notified when it is released.

It signs you up to be notified when it is released.

I'm pretty sure it's just because the phone was supposed to come out today, so there are all sorts of weird oddities showing up on Google's nexus site and Verizon's too.

 

[jkc120]

Wow, it really slowed down in here all the sudden. Is everyone in shock that Han bought a fruit phone?

 

[DCRussian]

This makes more sense to me.

I've got 400 GB of (legally) ripped movies and TV shows in HD sitting on my hard drive, and I'm always worrying it's going to fail.

Yep, I've had a 2 TB drive go the way of the Dodo, luckily it was mirrored with another drive so I didn't lose anything. I would be so mad if it all just vanished.

Yes we know, but the second and third bullet points changed to "Buy Now" from "Register" last night and the front page just changed within the last few hours.

I just tweeted @VZWSupport, letting them know the Galaxy Nexus page says Buy Now and asked if I should do that through Verizon or Google. Let's see if they say anything.

My wife and I are expecting child #2 on 12/26. She actually agreed to consider Nexi, or some form of it, if the baby is born on the day the e GN is released. I've been talking about the countless delays so much that she doesn't think it will happen.

Congratulations!

nah, last drive to do actual work before quittin time on east coast

 

[zx10droid]

im sure this has been covered.... but even more evidence that it was supposed to release today is the fact that going to the website on the screen cover thats in the box when you buy the phone(vzw.com/galaxynexus) no longer takes you to the sign-up page directly.... but instead leads to (shop.verizonwireless.com/?id=Samsung Nexus) which then redirects you to the sign-up page. that page was probably supposed to go live today with the nexus for sale

 

[WinnerCMZStyle]

Did anyone here do the unlimited data mobile hotspot thing with Verizon?

Awesome congrats an exciting time for you both!

@HanSolo: My counter is burned out. Verizon smoked it. No more counting for me. It comes out when it comes out.

OT:

My son has a 1982 Datson 280ZX sitting in the driveway. No joke. Beautiful car and a joy to drive

My dad still has his first car sitting in the garage in near mint condition. It's a 1972 240Z with <80k miles. It's beautiful and runs great. Needs new suspension but that's it.

That's a beautiful car and color! Too bad you aren't in VA, I need a little help w/ mine haha. Hard to work in 40 degree weather and no tools nor expertise..

Last time I was in VA was with the Army at Ft. Lee. I would love to help with the Z, they are very fun cars.

 

[HanSolo]

No, I'm not serious. Hence the dog eating the cat?

lol

I for one am shocked. I can't understand someone going from wanting an Android phone to settling for an iPhone.

Don't get me wrong, iPhones are nice and perfect for many people. But an iPhone is the LAST thing I would want going from an Android phone. It's way too restrictive and non-customizable for my taste. But that's just me...

Well, enjoy your iFruit 4s Han, sorry to see you go. FYI, there is no phandroid app for iPhone

When you click the "buy now" it goes to registration page.
