I'm pretty sure their role could be fully played by the blurbs at the beginning and end of the film.

Unless, of course, you meant to include the behind-the-scenes stuff, Social Network-style. In that case, you'd probably want to hire whoever those earlier G-nex Youtube videos were supposed to be about. You know, the ones in German?

I don't know about you guys, but I see all these reviews about the Nexus and how beautimous the display is, but I've heard it's the kind of thing you have to see to believe.

I just want to see this darned thing already. All of you who have said your reps tell you to come in to the store today or tomorrow or whatever, I have nothing from any stores anywhere. Maybe I just have to go to the stores and find out, but I've called EVERY SINGLE reseller that will have the Nexus within a 50 (!!!) mile radius of me and they have given me NOTHING.

I just want this to get over with. I want the phone!!! I WANT IT BAD.

I suggest temporary vacation to either the west coast or east coast to just see it :p Although, the demo unit in Samsung by Colombus Circle in NYC was taken down by the big bad Verizon :(

I made the mistake of wearing heavy armor for too long on a thief-ish type char, so I'm standing in the middle of 4 skeletons bashing away at me with light armor on, casting a fast healing spell occasionally while I F5 here. :)

This makes me wonder: who owns the phones that are currently sitting in boxes in backrooms of stores? Does Verizon buy the phones before they're sold to consumers, or does Samsung/Google own this phone and Verizon is just selling it for them? What I'm getting at is, if this is a Google Wallet issue, if the parties reach an impasse and the phones designed for Verizon's network don't get released, who bears the loss?

i'm about 20mins behind so i may be Ninja'd but i would assume they signed a contract they would sell x amount of devices...or they pay $xxxxxx for x amount!!! if VZW scraps the gnex i would assume they owe some amount money to samsung but i'm sure at the end of the day VZW will sell stock on hand and no longer order more devices
 
Does anyone in North Jersey know of any in stock anywhere? I'm off to do a search first thing in the morning but it would help to know if I knew some already. Thanks in advance!

Wasn't it, though!

When I said intimidating, I sorta want to say something like "Yes Mr Verizon, whatever you say Mr verizon, May I have another Mr Verizon!"

I mean, jusdam, we sure do take these phones for granted!

:eek:

Haha, awesome! I went the mage route this play through, will probably do a warrior with my next character, I have a helmet that gives me +100% magic regeneration along with the arch-mage robe, and a ring that gives me +30% magic regeneration, combine that the fireball and dragons don't stand a chance (think I've killed 12 so far).

Before the gag order was put into effect Paramus (the one on 17 south) said they were getting the shipment on Wednesday.

Nice! Yeah I started out thinking I wanted to be a grunt, but ended up going more of the mage/thief route. I was getting pummeled by a drougr deathlord so I gave up and started leveling my light armor :) Have a good night!

I it is a pretty amazing display and video or photo doesn't really do it justice.

As far as the reps go, I fear that your age may be a factor. I remember being around your age and people didn't take me seriously when it came to what some consider high dollar items.

Yep, I still get that. I'm 34, but I look like I'm in my late teens/early 20's (so I'm told). So I often feel like I don't get as much respect at work, etc. I think I need the opposite of "touch of gray" to add some salt to my pepper :)
 
So I was just sitting here thinking about how impatient I am...with everything.

My toaster takes what? A minute a half to toast something? Yet I can't wait. I push it up before it's done. Often having to push it back down again and wait longer.

And yet this friggen phone has me waiting for months! With nothing I can do!!! I'm going batty! I did the same thing to myself when I was waiting for the BB Storm to come out. That ended up being a disaster, but either way I would have thought I would learn some self control and patience by now.

No such luck....geeeeeeeeeeeez! I can't stand waiting!!!
 
This isn't good(or idk):
I just tried chatting with a representative a few times. I got this same response from everyone everytime.:
GNex%20Release%20Chat.PNG
 
I am seriously contemplating camping outside Verizon headquarters until I receive some information I haven't heard already that being 'everything'. Oh wait actually there was that one news about no Google Wallet for security issues. I think it's time for 'OCCUPY VERIZON WIRELESS'! :P
 
"Announce availability by the end of the year"? Seriously, if this phone isn't out by the end of the year I will be moving my plan to another carrier. I'm sure they will have the GNex shortly after, or I will purchase an unlocked one...All faith will be lost.

I'll be honest, I never would have pegged you at 34 from the pic in your avatar. You must get carded all the time! :p

But I haven't even gone into any stores besides the TCC in town to ask about this... and every time I call anywhere else I get the same unknowledgeable reps telling me the same lies over and over again. I don't think it has to do with my age if I'm only calling them.

You can get it frosted to add a little gray. Most of the time I think it is clothes that do the trick more than anything else. I would wear jeans and a shirt to work most days, but on the days I wore a business suit or a skirt and nice blouse I tended to get more respect from those in the office. In many cases I really think that clothes actually do make the man or woman.

Your voice wasn't cracking when you asked was it? :D j/k Scott.

I feel you, none of the stores around here are very forthcoming either. Wish I could at least play with the device...
