Galaxy Nexus Watering Hole

Afternoon all! In a Verizon store right now getting mom's phone upgraded. She decided on the DNA. I tried for the Note 2 or S4 but she likes, and knows, the HTC skin. I'll now be spending part of the day getting her pics and stuff off the old one and helping set up the new one.
 
Does anyone else see an interesting article headline and get excited to read it only to see the small print and/or multiple pages and just say heck with it then close the tab?

Hmm, you may be getting one too after playing with it ;)

I'll resist all naughty comments that I thought of. :D
But I'm not due for an upgrade yet and I have no extra $$ to get anything right now so I'll have to live with phone envy for a while. What I really want (right now) is the Note or S4

I was about to get the S4 then the news about the Ultra and Maxx came out of nowhere. Now the X is starting to get somewhat interesting to me. Then Chief says he read that Verizon is getting the Nexus 5. Now I'm :confused: .
 
Well, the Verizon getting the N5 is on some really obscure sites. One is a blog site from some guy who gins up great headlines for rumors so he can draw web traffic. However, I have nothing concrete about it :(
 
I'm not counting on it, Google seems really pressed to stay only GSM for now. They haven't released a single CDMA device in over a year now. You're best bet for a Nexus on Verizon is if the refresh of the Nexus 7 supports Verizon LTE without a CDMA radio.
 
Sure Jhawk, just take all the wind out of my sails, will ya? What a PAL!

This is the year I upgrade phones* and I'm running low on options:

Moto X
Optimus G2 (IF Verizon carries it)
Ultra Maxx
HTC One

With the Nexus 5 shot, I am really hoping for the G2. REALLY hoping for it.


*- When I say "upgrade" it's an in-house term, as I will have to pay full retail for whatever device I end up getting in order to keep unlimited data on Verizon. So it's not a Verizon upgrade :)

Yeah, I wish that that Verizon would cave to Google's relatively minor (imo) conditions. Verizon is just too stubborn for it it's own good sometimes, and it's to the detriment of their customers. It's partially what drove me away, along with the high prices. The G2 does look like an interesting device, that's for sure. However I expect a locked tight bootloader like most LG's have had recently. Although if there's enough demand for it, Dan Rosenberg might port his Loki exploit to it, just like he did 4 other LG devices.
 
We'll see how airtight Android 4.3 is to root exploits. If I can't unlock the bootloader and root the thing, I don't want it. I don't care WHAT it is.

On another note:

Leap Motion Controllers for PC start shipping this WEEK with an expected arrival of next Monday!

W H :D :D T

I can hardly wait to put that puppy through its paces to see what all I can do with it!
 
I saw it, but knowing Verizon, it will probably end up being a rip off money wise. The whole reason they moved upgrades from 20 to 24 months was to increase profit margins, giving more upgrades seems counter intuitive to this unless it's it benefits them somehow.
 
So you have to pay off 50% of current phone to get another but there is no wording on if you are still paying on that one plus next one or if the payment for the current one stops. Until they clarify it, it seems debatable at the moment. I personally can't see them having people pay for two phones at once. But this Verizon we are talking about.
 
Well, it's about freaking time... :-D
