It's ok. I think a lot of us have tried to make sure we say its sarcasm. When in doubt pm or just ask. I honestly don't believe anyone here is trying to be malicious. I do know for a fact that a lot of us use sarcasm so often that we don't realize it could be misconstrued so don't take it personally. :D

That would be a pretty dumb move on Verizon's part...
Out of curiosity, though, what do you think they would call it then?

not that i think this is going to happen, but it was rumored to be the "droid prime" before it was officially confirmed as a "nexus" device on VZ.

seriously though, sleep now.

Am I the only one that actually DOESN'T want a pre-order period at all? Some selfish bit of me wants it to be announced as immediately available and to be able to drop whatever I'm doing, head to VZW and get one. No messy pre-order, blah blah hooplah!

Plus, I want to actually see it and hold it before I purchase - though I don't think that will make any difference in my decision.

You are definitely not the only one. I'm right there with you, although for different reasons. A pre-order would foul my plans.

Both the Razr and Rezound came out on amazon wireless and other online retailers the same day it was availible at verizon for almost $100 less but you couldn't pre-order, it just popped up on the sites the day it dropped. I have a feeling the gnex will be the same, and if a pre-order comes out, it would be extremely hard for me to fight my fears of it selling out and be forced to pre-order loosing $200 (ordering one for the wife too)

Go to your local VZ corporate store and try them both for 15 minutes. Buy the one you like best. You can return anytime between your purchase and Jan 15. There are NO wrong options in these 3. Just don't do the Windows phone...;)

Am I correct in assuming that if I get the Re(nt)zound using a "New Every 2" discount and later exchange it for the Nexus, I'd lose that $30 in addition to the $35 restocking fee?

FWIW, I've played with both phones in-store and to me it's a slam dunk for the Rezound. But it really depends on what you're looking for in a device.

FIRST POST......Thanks for all the knowledge and entertainment that's passed. I want to burn my iPhone 4. Was deciding between Titan (winmo) or one of verizon's big three.. Wanted the gnex until I heard about the 16gb.. That's why I decided against the windows phone. My other concern is missing the double data promotion. If I were picking one that gives you enough of what the nexus brings, which way should I go?

ReZound. There is virtually (by that I mean 99.9% chance against) that the RAZR's bootloader will ever been unlocked, while there is still a decent precedent of "locked" HTC phones being exploited. What that means is that the ReZound will, likely, be the first of the two to unofficially receive ICS thanks to the talented devs around various forums. I will say that with the caveat that the ReZound, as of yet, has not been found to be exploitable.

Truthfully, unless you must, I would not pick until the GNex is confirmed to be only 16GBs. Which, right now, is only speculation on our part with no firm answer.

While the rezound is much quicker, I actually found the colors on the RAZR to be a tad better in a side by side test of random websites. Which just reinforces the need for the nexus.

Sorry. I should have been clearer. Is the Nexus that great a device? Or would the average user be happy with the rezound or razr?

Depends on what you want. The average user would definitely be happy with either phone. But if you want the latest in Android then the Nexus is worth the wait, IMHO

The average user will be happy with any of the 3. The (and I'm going to be shot for this) only real advantages to the Nexus is timely OS updates and ICS. The hardware is not enough better for an average consumer (read: anyone who hasn't posted more than 10 times on a phone forum) to tell the difference between any of the 3 in 99.9% of cases. It is only the elite of phone nerds (me included obviously) that will be able to discern the differences.
