If this satellite shot isn't proof enough then I don't know what to tell you guys.

You forgot to add that it could change direction or turn into a tropical storm...

So I just tried 2 CSRs and asked about the $100 3G -> 4G discount. They both said they can't honor it.

Could someone tell me how they got the CSR to apply the discount to their account? It would be really nice :) Thanks in advance.

I called as well and she said it was only for the Chicago area. She said she checked all of their promotions. She also said that as the holidays get nearer they will probably issue more protions and just to keep an eye out for them.

Since you didn't get the mailer, any attempt to acquire the discount would require lying. You have made it very plain here that you are against the VZW policies around the information blackout on the Nexus, so we can not be a party to any prevarication used to fraudulently gain the discount that you are not entitled to.

Sorry.

Then how come others got the discount without lying? IIRC a few people asked and received the discount without lying.

You know, I'm starting to care less about ROM's. They're almost more trouble than they're worth. Most of them have inferior battery life and other bugs or issues. I just want my phone to work and be smooth. That's the one thing I really miss about the iPhone. I've not seen an Android phone yet that's as smooth as an iPhone. I just hate iTunes and the inability to customize anything on an iPhone.

There is NO perfect phone out there.....not even the magical Nexus. Maybe next fall.
 
OT: Another Verizon screw up
Anyone in Jersey get the mass text from VZW at about 12:30 saying the was a civil emergency and to take immediate shelter and cover? They just announced that it was a test, but they conveniently forgot to mention in the message that it was only a test. So they're nit just screwing up our Nexus, folks...
 
Just got the call from my Verizon store guys, they said the 15th is a go and he set me up an appointment for 9 am. This was the same scenario as last week, so I won't hold my breath but the rep has been nothing but honest with me and has called me a few times giving me updates so I trust what he is telling me. I asked him how sure this was, and he laughed and said its pretty much 100% unless something drastically changes. Fingers crossed. ;)

That is my point though it is one leak that we can be a sure sign if we hear nothing else the release is imminent. Someone has to flip that switch to have OTA's pushed just before the first one is sold on the East Coast. So, if truly no press release comes before they launch but someone w/ the phone already says 'hey I just got an update' I would think that would be the best sign we have ever gotten to date.

hmmm i see what you are saying now. That is a very good point.

Well I won't be overclocking because of battery life. I really want a 4G phone more than ICS. I have played with ICS. Again, not blown away. It's very nice but I guess after all the hype I was expecting more. Just starting to feel kind of blah about the Nexus. By the time it come out CES will be right around the corner and they will showcase phones that will blow the Nexus away. The Nexus specs aren't all that great to begin with IMO.

Like I said, I have two upgrades next year so I can go 9-12 months on the Rezound and then upgrade to a phone superior to the Nexus and I probably won't have to wait three months for it. Just my two cents.

I over clocked with an under volt and actually saved battery. In that same instance those I have also just under volt'd.

I don't know why one would be in a rush to over clock a brand new phone. Like buying a Corvette so you can supe it up. Just enjoy it.
 
Good day nexians,


Beginning to feel the irritation. I'm leaving the country soon (Jan 3rd) and living in Spain for 6 months - I was planning on putting the line on hold and using the SGN on wifi and as an mp3 player and camera until coming back to the states in August.


Now, if I wanted to spite Verizon for BSing me with release dates (someone else tried to sell me a rezound today -_- ) and not getting back to my customer support requests, do any of you have recommendations for a dedicated camera and a dedicated mp3 player I could purchase instead of the SGN?

I tried the $100 promo thing, it's a long response from VZW but here's the important info:



It goes on in agonizing detail about how to do he trade-in program.

Oh well, worth a shot. BTW, I'm not in the Midwest so I did not expect much but figured it was worth a try.

When did you send the message to them, and when did you get a response? It looks like I fulfill those requirements, but I haven't gotten a response yet. Sent my message in around 4, 5pm yesterday

OT (Homeland):
Awesome episode last night! I think there's a big twist in for next week, and since my wife and I saw most of the episodes in a row over like three days, I think I know what it is: (possible spoil alert):

I think Saul is the mole!! He's fluent in Arabic; in episode 5, he said something like "Don't kick my rug" when Carrie nudged it with her foot in his office; and one time he picked up the phone after getting up from the floor and Carrie asked why he was out of breath. He was probably praying.

So he probably slipped the terrorist the razor blade that one time (although I think Brody could have done it too), but I
