No, they got that right. That's why I was unsure whether they were correct/incorrect regarding the rest...I surely don't know enough about the finer points of their contracts to know!

That's about as far as I usually get.
1) buy high tech item
2) go to car
3) open item in car
4) scan what's in the box
5) stop at restaurant and really go over items in box while eating (this step is especially important when cold weather hits and I don't want to freeze in a cold car or waste gas by sitting in a running car to be warm.

With Galaxy Nexus I will most likely have to order it online so that I get a corporate related discount and am able to have the activation fee waved.

Yeah I'll be ordering online too. On an employee account so it's just easier and no activation fee online

Ok, so my initial guess was a new tablet (Xoom2 etc). I'll correct that and guess Note... Is that what we're eluding to here?

scottg96 · November 30th, 2011, 09:43 PM

Wait a second, couldn't P3 be referring to the Transformer Prime?

4am should only be seen if you are on night shift or are still up from a night out.

I commend you on the effort you put into staying in touch with your daughter.

The Note is a phone, he said this won't replace a phone. I'm pretty sure he's talking about a tablet. Transformer Prime or maybe Xoom 2.

I had the opportunity to play with the Note. It is HUGE! I would NOT want to have this is as my phone. My guess is Note as well.

Yep. His new toy is a tablet. I thought it was the Xoom2, but he did say Prime. So that's my guess.

Didn't he say he could fit it in his pocket? My guess is someone asked if he had a prime and he said it won't fit in a pocket. My guess is a smaller tablet or a note.

crt134 · November 30th, 2011, 09:51 PM

Guys he said prime....and it's a tablet because it won't fit in a pocket. That leaves us one option

kmr0026 · November 30th, 2011, 09:54 PM

So I'm not eligible for my upgrade discount until 12/27, but like everyone else on here really want to order the nexus the second I can. Has anyone had luck pushing an upgrade up recently? I had luck the last two times I upgraded, but have been running into issues this time around.

I don't know, there was this very brief moment where I thought I could tolerate it as a phone... then I had a dream where I was...

and I thought better. It may not be all that bad in the hand but seriously, imaging walking around with something that size next to your face as you conduct a phone call. And no, I have no interest in utilizing bluetooth earpieces 100% of the time.

Yes it does reference that perfect season by the Lions. 4-0 Preseason 0-16 Regular Season.

I've been monitoring the GN forum at AndroidCentral. I discovered this thread today and must say, I seem to be a few weeks too late.

The AC forum is so stressful. So many whiners, so many angry people. This thread has been a breath of fresh air, much more enjoyable.

Reading this back to myself, I sound so pathetic. I need professional help. But seriously, this thread has been great to follow today.

Welcome to the BEST android forum on the web.

Glad to know i'm not the only one that started off there and migrated over here. AC is great for info, but the community here is second to none!

Doubt it's the Asus Transformer Prime...he mentioned earlier a dual core 1.5ghz device for VZW LTE...the prime has the "Kal-el" Tegra 3 quad core processor...he also just tweeted it has a Super Amoled HD screen which would suggest a Samsung device...but from his tweets it's definitely a Tab and not a phone...

What other tablet could it be. I couldn't really care less

but I'm pretty sure it is not the Prime (did he say 1.5ghz LTE? Prime is neither). The Sony maybe??? But its been out a while right?

I just don't see a phone right around the corner that he would get excited about...

edit: plus his mention of the Xoom being replaced leads to the obvious tablet guess
