I just realized I need a new avatar for tonight and don't have one ready. I do have one for when Verizon actually lets us know the date though

sorry, i wasn't in the incredible thread. didn't mean to aggravate you, sir.
I have to agree with this, this makes it a major PITA to read this forum now.

People are taking this "hide" thing too far IMO... after you've typed your post, read it and ask yourself "Does this have even the slightest thing to do with the discussion/the Nexus?"
If the answer is yes, don't put hide tags. It's a pain to have to click them all just to read your post.
If the answer is no, put them on. I don't care about sports or your social life.
Don't mean to come off as obnoxious about it, I'm just here for the Nexus and that's it
i am with you on this! while i am definitely guilty of posting off topic pics/info without a hide tag (i'm sorry mods!), it is annoying to have to click "show" on half of the posts on any given page.

I mean, that's largely irrelevant, it's the same as opening an app in Froyo/Gingerbread and then hitting the home button. The app doesn't actually close. The Android OS will close apps as it needs memory. That's how it's always operated.

No harm done. I was being sarcastic and teasing people who are overly speculative.

maybe, as a result of all the random crap you guys put out, it would be better to just hide all of the nexus related material? 
then it would really contrast.

I want ALL the DOCKS!!! I wish some official stuff was official, already. I'd really like docks that use the pogo pins for both home and car... I've mentioned it, already, but my OG Droid's USB port dropped it's contacts (birthed them) after years of abuse from cables hanging out of it at funny angles and putting weird pressure on it. AND I want a car dock that swivels so I turn it to portrait mode and see more of the road ahead of me when I'm in GPS mode. And I want a Pony.
The off-topic stuff is hilarious, especially how so many of us are hiding everything, even on-topic stuff... we're such a bunch of passive-aggressive brats.
I'm kinda happy about it, though. I didn't mind the car posts, I enjoyed the cars I've owned, but I'm a public transit user as much as possible, nowadays, so I could've pretended to be offended. I didn't mind the alcohol posts, even though I'm one of those crazy teetotalers... what really got on my nerves, though, were all the insane posts about dincs. I don't need to hear about your dying dinc, or how long your dinc lasts, or what kind of protection you use on your dinc, and I don't think we really need to brag about ours being bigger than the dinc thread. TMI

Well, as I did state before, I choose to keep my sources anonymous for variety of factors including the fact that many people question credibility and legitimacy. So like my original comment earlier in this thread: take this as you will and by no means should you consider this official until Verizon states it.
I'm sure you can understand if Verizon doesn't want to release that information to the public.
I'll be honest, I'm not going to reply to a lot of such comments as I'm not here to prove my credibility (hence why I stated from the start take everything I say as you will) but just wanted to clarify something.
I really want to point out however to not take anything I say as official. We all know nothing can ever be 100% until you hear it publicly from Verizon (and even then last minute changes are always possible). I am only stating what is the current status.
- December 13th was an internal launch deadline that was set regardless of the outcome of final testing as they only involved minor bugs. Verizon wanted to have this phone out by then even if it required a patch update post release.
- December 8th has been set as the tentative launch date ever since the initial bugs were ironed out and only after the minor bugs were discovered, it was decided that a few days delay should become a possibility in case they couldn't guarantee December 8th due to ongoing testing.
- However, the results are now in and they have been deemed acceptable hence the original date of the 8th is now internally official. I am only here to report this info and not to say that this is publicly set.
I really appreciate all the thanks so far and I will update you guys if I hear anything else related to launch and preorders.
May have been Ninja'd
A possible solution would be to take your information to PM with the mods and let them release it as they see fit.
EDIT: NM it was samurai'd

For once, Testman actually is different for me.
The new items:
- 30% off accessories
- Certified Pre-Owned
- Deals Central
Sadly, no Nexus presale item on the home page.
Yeah, I still don't have any ads at all on testmans main page. Just a swirled background.

I busted out laughing though.

Not even close. I didn't follow directions well most of the time. And I apparently didn't play nice with a lot of the girls.
But I am pretty good at the cute 'please buy cookies from me' face
