Wow, I expected to hear the virtues of thin as an absolute, but what it sounds like is there may be some general sweet spot on thickness that varies a little by user.
Exactly. Depends on your hand size. Extremely thin phones are kinda like really long....well, ...I'll stop there...they're fun to brag about but in the end they're awkward to use.

I love when we have potential clients coming in.
I was once the receptionist here so the duty falls to me to sit here when we have to have a 'dog & pony show' day. Wouldn't be too bad if they moved my computer with a power cord but just putting the computer on the desk pisses me off.

Yup! But I threw a minor fit and amazingly enough they gave me a power cord.
This is crazy today! Just to fill desks they have 8 freelance graphic designers in.

Glad to see that it's still all about smoke and mirrors.... Doesn't it make you wonder if the potential client is doing the same? LOL

This reminds me so much of this joke:
A lawyer was opening a new office. He heard the door open, and not wanting to look like he had nothing to do, he picked up the office phone and start spouting some "legalease" to make it appear that he was a busy professional. About then, the man that had opened the door walked in to the lawyer's office, and said, "hi, I'm the phone installer...and I'm here to hook up your phones so they'll work."

Customers don't visit where I work ever (Mainly because I work in a secure area due to working on secret stuff). But they instituted a policy of no napping on lunch breaks at your desk company wide, because one time they brought customers through a non-secure area, and 3 out of 5 guys were snoring at their desks. So much for the dog and pony show, haha.

Too funny, but true. Years and years ago I was starting in private practice and had a totally open schedule but to not convey the level of my newness to the profession or how young I was, I would only give the person a choice of one or two appointments when they called in. Lol, by the end of my career, I was hoping for that one open appointment somewhere in the week to catch up on paperwork.

Back-to-back business calls with dropped mic on me again today. The first was 20 minutes in, the second was just 5 minutes in. If not for this issue, the Nexus would be a perfect phone. I just don't know how many more times I can be embarrassed on an important call, and I don't understand why it only appears to affect some users...

I had this happen a couple of times when I first got my phone (a few days after release) and there has been a lot of discussion about it in the VZW GNex forum. I haven't had the issue in a long time and I can't remember if when it happened to me it was before or after I loaded the leaked radios. I am going through the thread now to see if I can come up with some info for you.

No, sorry, I should have been clearer. I have had the same problems, I got a new SIM, different variety and that did not help. I then got a new handset (almost two weeks ago) and have not had any problems since. However, I did not install other apps that use the microphone like google talk and skype as a test. i have just now re-installed skype, so far, I have not had enough calls to test it to see if it had any effect. I agree, it is a major frustration to loose the mic and then have the other party hang up. It makes you hesitant to use the phone as, well as a phone.

Well I have small hands. Goes with being short in stature I guess... Anyway, my point is that the Razr was not only too thin but too wide to fit comfortably in my hand. That was one reason I really liked the Nexus. It fit my hand better. Has a nice balance to it all around.
"Blackberry users - at 72% - were more likely to drink alcohol on a first date."
Bahahah
Living in a RIM saturated city, this doesn't surprise me at all. Capital Hill is full of d-bag bars I would never step foot in.

that's just a corollary of the fact that more men tend to prefer android than women, not meaning to be sexist, just i've notice almost every woman with i know in real life with a smartphone has the iphone, and also that most people on android forums are male

My daughter and I have Androids.
My son and wife have iPhones. (That said, my wife is lusting after my Nexus. She wants to swap phones. No way. My wedding vows were "In sickness or in health, for better or for worse, but keep your hands off my Nexus.")

Short workday for me today, so that is always good. Although then I gotta go home and take care of the kiddos myself, as my wife is going to an Eric Church concert. I always get roped into the worst end of those deals.
My sister was Android but she got married to an Apple fanboi, so he has corrupted her.
Sadly, I'm one of the only people I know that has an Android. My mom, sister, best friend, and girlfriend all have iPhones. My stepmom has a Droid 2, but she literally only got it because the screen was a little bigger and it had a keyboard. She really doesn't use it much and is not what you'd call tech-savvy. Another friend doesn't have a smartphone at all; however, he's very anti-Apple, so he's probably going to spring for a high-end Android whenever I finally wear down his resistance to conversion.
