I'm handbraking a couple of episodes of Boardwalk Empire to test Darth Victorius with when I get home!

I'm so excited!

On a side note, I received a death threat from a guy I put away a couple years ago, who is now out. The police are actually involved and everything, isn't that crazy?

I hope I don't get shot tomorrow at Verizon.

Honestly, I'll have to say I'm glad I wasn't teased by playing with the phone early in a store. It will give me a totally fresh experience :)

I am SO unbelievably pumped for tomorrow. I've been asking my little good luck Android figurine (see avatar) for a surprise from Verizon for the past few weeks and finally he heard my wishes! Thanks little dude :P

Me too - I haven't touched one yet. I can't wait for tomorrow!!
(And I just ordered android decals the other day - nothing else for myself yet though cause we're too close to Christmas and I don't know what my friends/family bought but I know they all know I'm a bit of an android freak so it wouldn't surprise me to get android stuff :))

You can HandBrake TV shows? See, I'm still learning. I know how to do DVDs, but I didn't know we could do TV shows. Can you point me to where I can learn how to do that?

It will be trial and error. I'll let you know tomorrow. But for now I'm using the ipad settings to see what it looks like.

That sounds like a good plan. I have settings from my OG, but, I really want to take advantage of that 720 :eek: Very excited about that. I didn't even bother putting videos on my charge lol.

You and me both dude. My rep offered to let me play with MY nexus today. But I passed and said I would touch it tomorrow :)

Thanks! I rooted my DX, but when i had to return it for a replacement I never re-rooted it. Looking forward to what lies ahead.

Why do I just feel the need for a big

Congratulations Nexicans!

Wow it feels weird tonight. After many months of traveling this journey with y'all, speculating, comparing, joking around, bickering, googling, wikipediaing, youtubing, bragging, teasing, getting teased... this is... The End?!

What's weirder for me is that after the whole Bionic -> SGS2 -> Function -> Stratosphere -> Prime -> Nexus quest, I ended up bailing at the last minute for an irresistible (for me) Black Friday deal on another phone. How anti-climactic was that? :eek:

THANK YOU to the mods, who've really done a bang-up job here keeping us more or less on track with good humor. Steven, you deserve all of the accolades, just stop apologizing when it's really someone else being the jerk. ;) OTD, keep up the spirit (hundreds of years old though it may be.) And Early, thanks for being a class act. Not too many people could be so overtrained & overqualified for your modding role while also being patient w/newbies and always eager to discover and explain the new tech. (IMHO you shoulda gotten a freebie Nexus too. Sigh.)

I'm actually really happy w/my fast-running Rezound with its sharp-as-hell screen, and I've had fun making it jump through some hoops already. And yet... ah that Nexus and its bloat-free ICS and promises of intriguing NFC possibilities to come. Good luck folks, you are going to love love love your new phones! :cool:

Looking forward to reading the happy new owner reviews, and I'll catch you here in the forums. It's almost midnight here on the east coast: For those ordering online, get out your credit cards now!

- BlueBiker

PS: When Rezound finally gets ICS, it'll be the better phone for sure. :p

Thats hot!

YES!!!!!!

That's really hot!!

I love that commercial, lol:p
No way! As a vampire, you'll get to see the next 10-20 iterations of the Nexus line, before it actually becomes a sentient robot, and human's (or vampire's) achieve intersteller travel, and intergalactic colonization. These things are way cooler than having "a pulse":cool:


And you were part of it!

I do, I do!!:D
Thank you so much. You too!!:)

I'm still pinching myself every few minutes:)


That ain't gonna happen here, friends for life!

Yeah, and I can finally laugh about how that was 2 frakking months ago, grrrhh!!:D

That is a beautiful post, I wish we had a teary-eyed emoticon, cause that's how I feel, not sad, Happy, but its that bitter-sweet happy!

I've never gotten teary over an internet post, but this is a really special thread in a very special forum, and your comment is just perfect!

I saw this when it was posted earlier, and the additions make it all the funnier!!:p

Next ride: Summer 2013!


I'm sorry I have never got to respond personally to any of your posts, so I'm trying to make up for that now. I am really sorry for your recent loss, but I'm happy you told us all about it and came back for end of a crazy thread! I hope the various funny and inciteful posts of yours I have thanked over the course of my short time here show my appreciation for what you contribute here!

Ha, ha, yeah its been awesome! My first epic thread too!

Although I'm not a programmer, many of my friends are hardcore CS nerds, so that section where everyone started to post in binary for a while was hilarious! And then, the query for whether your last name was II..ROFLROFL!! Thanks for the fun and see ya at BB's Thread!

What's "the real world" I thought that was an old show on MTV?

All good things must come to an end. (But then, they are often replaced by better things):D

SamMax, beautiful post! And I want to mention that that was a very selfless thing, what you did returning your G-Nex when no one else even had one. That speaks volumes to your character and I wish you the best in life, you clearly deserve it!

Short and sweet! Right on!


Happy 30th!!! What better birthday news to hear, than Verizon finally acknowledging your phone for release!


We loved your contributions! They made the thread bearable for those times I felt like turning myself into Bloody Keyboard Guy. Thanks so much for all the LOLs and ROFLS and LMFAO's! :D

It is a fantastic community, and it has been a pleasure to read and thank your posts! Thanks for your contributions!

Good luck on completing your PH.D in Clarinet and in getting a great job post graduation!!

It was a pleasure to dole them out!!

Hey Scott, 12:30PM tomorrow, better get it in soon!

Same to you! It is so cool that this thread is not just confined to the region that the LTE GN will be, and someday I hope to visit the land down under! Cheers!

Thanks Altimax! We all love you too. :D
Sorry, we tried to stay on topic, but really you gotta blaim Verizon, they are the ones who forced us to go off topic (bombardment with RazR and ReZoundT commercials during football):p

Ohhh, US comercials for GN?? Rock on!!


Yes, about that....I think we are waiting on Steven at this point. The sun is down so OTD is safe and BB and I are ready, we're just waiting.... Huh. This feels strangely familiar, waiting for something important. Come on Mr Officiator!!!! don't pull a Verizon:D:D:D

Longest multi-quote ever? I think so :P
Sorry BabyBlues. XD

YouTube - Broadcast Yourself

This is definitely CerealKiller here though.

No clue how many started with us, but have ended up with Rezound's or RAZR's???

If we're using a youtube link to close this thread, it has to be this one:

StarWars Episode VI original outro Ewoks yub nub song ending - YouTube


and yes, i am well aware that i already signed out... i just couldn't leave you guys. i don't know what i am going to do when i log in tomorrow and this thread is locked! :(
 
Just wanted to thank the mods and everyone else for keeping this thread respectful and clean. It made the whole experience of waiting much less agonizing and at times easier to endure Verizon's frustrating releases. To finally see a Nexus on Verizon is awesome and I can't wait to finally have it in my hands. Now I can finally be productive at work.

Through all the ups and downs, it was certainly an experience best shared with good company.

Hope you all enjoy your Nexi, I certainly will. :cool:

Just a little over an hour to go.
