In the apple store for one last comparison... on 70th Street and Bwy.. .then will walk down to 59th st. columbus circle (I used to live near there when I went to Juilliard)... .

I'm so EXCITED to finally get this phone in my hand... I'm feel like a screaming teenage girl at a rock concert! In fact, you know what? I think I"m even crying!! :p


I know others have held it including OTD but now that you have, it just seemsore real to me!

Hey everyone,
What have I missed so far today? Any more info from any reps? At this point Dec. 8th is basically confirmed but I'd just like to know if there's any new info, or if I would possibly be able to waltz into my local Verizon store and snatch one up early ;)


We've been hearing 8th or 9th. Hopefully no later than the 9th

It isn't "basically confirmed" though. Kellex and his sources say the 9th. I know it's only one day, but the 8th is FAR from set in stone...

FINALLY! :cool:

Will Steven get the iPhone?

Will he be lured by its sugary goodness?

Will Siri sing her siren songs to Steven, slinging seductive Samsung slurs superimposing subliminal Serengeti-like scenes subconsciously and sensually beyond Steven's capacities for rational thought?

Will Steven's eyes go into auto-rotation trying to juxtapose retinal and HD displays?

Discerning fans need to know!! :eek:

By the way - many of you know that Steven and I are in constant touch - what I didn't tell Steven was that I recorded his spoken travelogue getting to the stores....

Okay, since I cannot be the only one checking it here is how to check if the nexus prime is in the preorder system yet (hopefully, the rezound was never in the system but the dinc2 and razr were)

go to https://preorder.verizonwireless.com/iconic/ hit new customer (it's faster) and check both under new phones and try typing it in accessories to see if it shows up there

And then there's a few of us still running Windows Mobile Omnias or Omnia IIs...

Yep, count me in that group. My Omnia II has been great (love the stereo speakers, I will really miss them!) but I am getting tired of the nonexistent development and old outdated programs. I've been out of contract for a year and patiently waiting for the GS2 ever since it was announced @ MWC in Feb... but we all know how that ended up for Verizon.

Bring on the Nexus! I am looking forward to Android as I finally feel it's polished and matured enough with ICS for me to make the switch.

Gotta figure out how to get Android to look like my Titanium 6.5.5 setup. :D

Make sure to take pics of the GNex.

Better yet, just take the phone and run!

Solid Orange:

3DS is sweet, but i find myself turning off the 3D quite frequently because it starts to give me a headache. at least they give you the option though, it would be a pain to use in 3D all the time.

I have both a 7" tablet (nook color) and a 10" tablet (g-tab), and i honestly find myself using the nook color far more often. While the 10" screen is nice, the 7" is just so much easier to carry around.

How are the games for 3DS? Honestly I want to get into a few of the games I missed out when I went PS1 over N64.

Also, I hear 7"ers have some troubles with displaying magazines and web pages when compared to the 10" tablets. What's your experience in that regard?

Namrak:

you could get a 10" for about that much on craigslist. In fact, if you're going with the 3ds I'd urge you to look on craigslist as well. You'll save plenty of $

Only trouble is, this is a gift suggestion. I don't think asking them to go on craigslist to find me a used gift is really a viable option :D . Sorry if I didn't make that very clear. I'm not really buying it, only suggesting it as a gift for myself.

Salizai01:

If you can hold off, rumor has it the Kindle Fire will be coming out with bigger sizes in 2012. Here's the link:
Amazon Kindle Fire: Rumors say 8.9-inch, 10-inch models planned - latimes.com

I had heard some rumors of this as well... hmmm... Maybe I should go with the 3DS and hold off a while and buy my own tablet if something like this does show up.
