Did you get her name or ID number so when it comes out this week I can call her and tell her how wrong she was?

lol i have her name, but that would be wrong on so many levels. here's to hoping that she misread something in the training and it'll be out this week.
 
Dumb question probably. Wouldn't it make more sense to have gold tipped connectors for the dock, as opposed to (silver) whatever the photos are showing?? I know most high-end cables are typically gold connectors, but maybe that doesn't mean a while lot for the dock connection.
 
Off to rent a Rezound. I need to reactivate unlimited data in a couple days, so this is just a bridge to get to the GNex. I tried out a SGSII on T-Mobile, and loved the phone, just couldn't get a good signal back home over Thanksgiving. Can't wait to use the samsung device with the LTE network :)

haha, I wouldn't actually have the heart to do it. But yea, here's to hoping reading is not one of her strong points. Otherwise, misinformation must be punished.

Gold is actually a poorer conductor, but you see it used a lot for interconnects because it doesn't oxidize. Silver is the best, but oxidizes quickly (tarnishes) and becomes non-conductive.

The most typical "silver" you see is tin-lead plating, mostly tin now due to RoHS issues. Could also be nickle plated as well.

But my bet is that it will end up being gold plated. Pictures can be deceiving.

"Silver looking" actually white gold.

I'm starting to think that Verizon is pushing back the Galaxy Nexus back into Dec so that VZW customers don't get Double Data?

They wouldn't do that to spite their customers. Verizon corporate may have made a few bad choices in regards to the release of this phone, but they wouldn't spite their customers because of it.
