The problem is that this isn't going to be a teen/tween device. A. Its fugly, something that teens/tweens are so self conscious about in today's society. B. They will cry for the iPhone over this no matter what because the vast majority of teens/tweens are brainwashed into the mighty Apple C. The promotional videos are intolerable with about 3 seconds out of 30 actually showing the device.

I disagree. I think the tweens are gonna eat this up. Not everyone can afford the iphone data plan and hardware for 4 kids... I think this will be great and if the kids have to pay for it them self they can afford it.

.... But I still hate these phones.. HA;)

To be clear, I'm getting the Inc. It looks like an awesome phone and a perfect upgrade from my BB Storm. But do you think that this phone has the following to be as ubiquitous as an iPhone or the Moto Razr from many years back?? Will there be an accessories market for it like there is for the iPhone. Or is it possible that they'll sell 100 units to the people on this thread and then dwindle from there?

I'm just curious as to what you fine, knowledgeable, upstanding citizens think... (Oh, and I'm also trying to participate rather than just creepily hitting f5 and stalking you all all day.)

I have seen a scenario like this happen, when i got my last phone (samsung Saga) I thought that a lot of people would be interested in it. At the time it was a very exclusive phone and had a lot of high end specs. But really, it didnt sell well, not many people cared about it since it wasnt a middle of the road phone, and it wasnt advertised extremely heavily

Awww, come on now- to anyone who watched Ozzie play this year (in the few games that he did), Jimmy is definitely the savior:D

And, for the record, no way the Yotes run through the Wings!;):cool:

Ozzie has and always will be overrated, sorry but it's true. And Jimmy Howard is like Andrew Raycroft when he first came into the league, playoffs are going to be a GIANT growing pain for him. I like the Yotes chances against the Wings, defence first will lock down Babcocks puck possession team strategy... we'll see though, this years playoffs are going to be exciting

I'm not the only one...and I've had to constantly return it for replacement, along with SEVERAL other customers. If you had a good LG, then good for you, otherwise, I know what I am talking about.

No, you don't. You experience constitutes isolated instances...nothing to make any informed assumption. "SEVERAL" means a few people had issues, but can you estimate how many didn't have issues? Probably not since they were quite happy and never returned anything.

I owned one LG before and it worked great, but I would never say "LG is awesome because mine never broke!" Unless you have access to internal LG statistics, I suggest not making general comments like you did.

Well, that's a fair question. I'm actually personally torn about what to do. I'm putting myself in the shoes of someone receiving this info and i'm not sure what i'd want to hear. Honestly, i'm giddy as can be on my end, but i do owe more than just diarrhea of the mouth to you guys so i'm also putting these things through the ringer before releasing because i can tell you a few folks have already tried to be "funny" with junk.

So, having said that...not trying to build suspense at all...just excited to tell you gusy AS SOON AS i know something, but also trying to put that something through some filters...not sure, trying to do the right thing...you guys tell me if you want me to just hold off and spill it when it's been sufficiently vetted vs. telling you up front and then maybe it means there's a few hour wait until i can post it all. I'm completely open to input and i'll go with majority opinion on this one.

I don't care about them... do whatever you want. :p Just email me what the info is. ;) :p

Seriously, do whatever you need to. You are totally trusted. :)

I would confirm it as best as possible before letting it rip. I believe it would cause the least amount of problems.

As anxious as I am, I would rather have the vetted info. Thanks!

20 consecutive years of playoff hockey compared to....... just sayin. Plus your goalie isn't exactly the second coming either. Pretty sure he beat flurry (or however you spell that dirty french canadian name) in both save percentage and goals against...so now i am done talking hockey and back to phones.;)
Click to expand...

Hey Fleury is not a numbers goalie and he's been playing like abssolute shite lately. And as far as 20 years, of playoff hockey, it's kinda easy to take your division when all you are playing against is korean amputees and girl scout troop 5, just saying is all...

I am sorry, but you are wrong. These devices will sell like crazy, especially the Kin Two. The iPhone is not on Verizon, and will not be for a very long time. Sure, most kids will want something similar to the iPhone, but most have no clue it is headed for Verizon.
Click to expand...
These phone have zero fashion sense to them. They lack the design that the modern teen wants an image of. I promise you, this endeavor will be a failed project. The Kin One has the ergonomics of a hockey puck. The Kin Two I concede is better but still isn't what the teen market wants as their image.

Do people even have patients anymore these day's? Everyone wants everything now, now, now! Where's the excitement and suspense in that?

Only the one's with medical degrees. :p

I think my excitement and suspense for the Incredible ran out a while back. Now I'm just resigned to buy it when it shows itself.

Definitely going to be exciting. Don't forget how many injuries the Wings had to contend with this year- they have really only been healthy since the Olympics, and have gone 13-1-2 since then.

EDIT: I somewhat agree with you on Ozzie, although he seems to be able to lift his game substantially in the post-season.

I'm actually thrilled with how the timing of this worked out... I didn't mean for this to go down the "suspense road" and now it doesn't have to because it was just confirmed for me...(I was about to leave work and commute for like an hour during which time i can only imagine the kind of names i would have been called!)

Anyways...here goes...

A trusted source confirms that a unit will be in their hand very shortly, mid-week likely.
