Despite all of this verizon being rude and stuff, which, believe me, I am also very very frustrated with all of this push back, (wow, COULD I USE any more commas?) look at the bright side. WE ARE GETTING THIS FRICKIN AMAZING PHONE..and very soon.
 
OT
Has anyone checked out Android Market's .10 sale today? We won't be needing that panoramic photography app for the Gnex will we? I seem to remember that being part of the camera already.

take that with a grain of salt I guess. A while back verizon sent out the memo they were to be released for sale on the 9th and here we are.

you are NOT alone, trust me!
 
Wow, was there a deleted post just now? I thanked it, refreshed and it's gone lol.

Is there a need to delete a, seemingly, well thought out opinion (I didn't even get a chance to finish reading it). What kind of forum has this become. SMH.

Are we really waiting for a phone? Has VZW promised us anything and not delivered (with respect to the SGN)? And, to those trying to buy the phone when you know Vzw isn't selling them yet, are a few more days worth risking someone's livelyhood (even if they are compliant)?

Verizon holds up Samsung Nexus Prime because of Google Wallet

Whoaaaaaaaaa that looks bad. I haven't followed the whole NFC / Google Wallet thing, but there's going to be mega-dollars at stake so it's not something any party is just going to "get over."

If you handle money you make money, yes?

OK - this hit me between the eyes when I saw it last summer -

Charge Items to Your Phone Bill Via Verizon, Payfone Deal | News & Opinion | PCMag.com

And that's when I missed a breath, knowing that battle lines were being drawn.

Ok, if this infotainment is correct and it's all about Wallet/ISIS, then it's time we gave a shout out to th0r615 for ringing the dinner bell on this and being right - back on October 14, when this thread was below 9k posts.

And during that week of October, we all puzzled out how this could possibly be the cause of any sort of delays.

So - whatever is going on with Wallet/ISIS, our own fossil record says that none of this is last minute stuff, aside from the recent press sensationalizing it.

Thanks to th0r615, we knew back then what the deal was - we just didn't know that we knew.

How you like those apples? :( :o :mad: :eek:

Totally agree and remember Verizon is the company actively fighting against net netrality so that they specifically can dictate to us what we can and can't use on their pipe.

I'm not really a fan of net neutrality either. I don't think there should be ANY regulations of the internet or it will start to get defined by federal regulators rather than the open market. I'm not even a huge fan of Google, but I do think google is more interested in open devices and such than others. In net neutrality though I think Google wants regulations that will give them a large distinct advantage when it comes to making money on different internet services they offer. I would rather it all play out in an open unregulated way though and if anyone gets too much control of everything involved use existing monopoly regulation to kick them back a few steps or split them up and let others come up. BUT, something like the Amazon Kindle Fire wouldn't exist if google weren't being authentic about their stuff being open and for anyone to do what they want with it.

So basically I am OK with what they did with the C-Block stuff even though I generally would rather not have too many more of such rules. That was a simple rule though that would allow said spectrum to be taken back if anyone tried to exploit their ownership of the spectrum after winning it. Really on spectrum I am not sure it should be sold like it is so much as they should have some a big swaths that remain open spectrum that everyone has to fight for space on with some variety of equipment all the network builders use that ends up allowing everyone's subscribers on. Each network operator would essentially just have a different backhaul that is their own and the cell sites(put up randomly by whomever needed better service in some area) would know what network a device was subscribed to and send it to that backhaul. This would create A LOT more competition without relegating the subscribers to smaller operators to a tiny network so much as the smaller operators might have a less capable backhaul that would get clogged and need upgraded efficiently to not be slow and such if they got new subscriber bursts. That's my 2 cents though. LESS regulations essentially rather than MORE as you get with net neutrality.
