Heya Reborn! Didn't miss a whole lot.... same ole

 

[themanchild]

Got a Razr....its so nice! Will I return for the Nexus (assuming it comes out in 14 days)...The world may never know

 

[jbdan]

Off topic warning:
And I almost forgot...their feet smell like Fritos. How can you not love that?

Thought all dogs feet do....sometimes even the entire dog when not bathed in a while! Well my rescue does anyway ;-)

And I love me some Free-toes!

I'm not saying the phone will be released on 12/17, but if it is, this thread will indeed get to be the #1 all-time thread. We can be happy about that, can't we.

Steven, I truly love your "glass is half full" outlook. But I'm having a hard time thinking a 12/17 release is something to be happy about considering all the November banter we've tossed about.

No BS - not a time waster. Perhaps it would help if I tell you that I am one of the UK's Samsung Mob!lers. We are a group of people who get access to the latest Samsung mobile devices, some pre-release, to review and tweet about the products. You can find me on the Engadget US video titled "Samsung Galaxy R, Wave M, M Pro, W, Xcover, and Wave Y hands-on (video)". Google it and you will find it. You can also find me on the SamsungUK YouTube channels in the IFA Berlin videos for Note, Tab 7.7 and Wave 3. Hope this clarifies that I am not talking BS!

I wondered also. I googled "Samsung Mob!lers" and found this page: (among others) Samsung Mob!lers Proving to be a Huge Success

Haha I wish I could say yes, but I will be gone from this area of the forum long before December 17th.

Yes we can be happy about the #1 spot and much much more

Anyone else thinking if cm9 comes out before the gnex they will wait for quad core and enjoy ics on their current device until next year?

I heard 2 months for CM9 last night on XDA. I can see it happening sooner though. No my Inc has had a good life and I'm not interested in a quad core for my phone. SGN it is and will be!

Haha!! Thats me in the centre at the back of that photo!! I am the one in the blue top with white stripes right in front of the revolving doors at Samsung UK HQ in Chertsey. Havent seen that photo in ages! Thanks for sharing that link!

If I still had an Inc? For sure. However, I'm using a borrowed (from VZW actually) Continuum and it has no aftermarket dev support whatsoever. Plus I'm nervous with continuing to use a phone that puts me in debt to VZW. So basically, I have to get one of these 3 and right now I'm leaning towards the Rezound, but we'll see what the rest of the week looks like.

Seriously? And I was going to ask you if you were in that picture, but figured there are a ton of members and might have been a fatuous query to ask of you

Thank you for the clarity. I did jump the gun a bit. I was just trying to weed out trolls. Glad you're on board with us. Can't wait to hear your review. Sorry, again.

my wife got the new iP4s, and i got her old DInc, even tho my OG was up for renewal first. (altho, in fairness, i was waiting for the GNex and RAZR anyway - but don't tell her that! )

My wife got a Charge and I stuck with my OG until I lost it and now I use her retired OG. I even TOLD her I was waiting for way more awesome phones than the Charge, but she was tired of using the OG and impatient for a new shiny gadget.

Haha not at all. I have been a Samsung Mob!ler since the beginning. There are lots more of us now though. There should be an intake again in the summer. There are different programmes in many countries around the globe - a new one has just started in India - there are more countries coming online all of the time.

I think CM9 will probably make my OG Droid implode due to too much ICS Greatness. So its kinda out of the question for me. But the Rezound is starting to looking more and more tempting by the day. I don't think I will make it past December 12th.

No problem! I would have been very sceptical too! Let me know if there is anything you want me to video / blog / screen capture etc. I am not one of the most technical of the Mob!lers but there's 6 of us getting the device early and I can ask around to get answers if I dont have them!

If they are accepting hand-me-down phones, then I don't know what to say about them. Just let my hubby try to give me an hand-me-down anything, especially tech toys.

I don't think so!

Oh thank you! I didn't want to offend anyone by saying just that!

It's all good. Women don't know anything about smart phones anyway

(Waits for BB to come ablazin' at me )

Good call! You have a large target on you now. And I don't miss.

I've been following this thread since page one and never had a good reason to post. This post pretty much sums up my feelings at this point so I break my silence!!

Welcome to the crazy club!

I wouldn't be worried about BB on this one.

I'm just gonna trip him, k. He'll be ok.

i'm 2-out-of-3...

I wondered which one of you was gonna be first up with a comment

Hi there! First post! Going to be taking the Android plunge once the Nexus hits.

Spoiler

I'm sitting here reading these posts and while I understand that it's frustrating, know that it could be worse. You could be like me....eligible for an upgrade for over a year, not finding anything that suits your fancy on any platform (iOS or Droid), and still stuck with an ancient ORIGINAL BLACKBERRY STORM! Fer Serius! Hurry the eff up VZW! I want a phone that I don't have to hide out of shame!

Also, IDK what you guys are talking about with this month-long (or however long it is) return period. I went to my local VZW store yesterday and specifically asked about this and I was told 14 days, like a poster above.

Me has a sad. Please to be coming out, Nexus!

Welcome! Please be sure to take all meds to help with the manic ups and downs.

And he wants you to get back to work.

Wondered into this thread, from the Rez boys, and promised to "only" read 10 pages.

damn thread grew by 2 while reading it!

I'm going to open Nexus Rehab for all of you. Forget the 9-5.

That's for quitters! We are riding this to the end

~~~~~~

I am finally caught up. It's kind of like ocean waves in here...rolling back and forth, leaving some foam behind, sometimes violent, sometimes peaceful but always moving.

So I can see your side completely, however, my wife is happy to have my tricked out DInc 2. We both started with LG Ally's and I quickly rooted and ROM'd our phones, finally maximizing her phone with Velocity ROM v1.2 recently. But one can only live with Froyo for so long. I was able to grab a DInc by adding a 3rd line October 2010, went through multiple warranty replacements (battery, speaker and reboot issues) before Verizon ran out and dropped a DInc 2 into my hands. FFC and perfectly functional CyanogenMod, coupled with the likelihood of CyanogenMod ICS has her content with this hand-me-down. I get your point, I really do, but it is a case by case situation.

JM2C,
