So I was wondering...how many musicians do we have here? I know Steven is a vocalist, and I thought a few others mentioned being music teachers and/or performers. I wonder what kind of ensemble we could put together!

Me, I'm in the last year of my doctorate in clarinet, so hopefully there'll be a pizza shop hiring next year

Sandy: I see that the device has Gorilla glass with Capacitive, Multi-touch screen and Scratch-resistant glass.

Wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwhat? It is? Huh. That's what the Samsung rep told Rob in Hong Kong. We were talking to Rob asking him to ask the guy. So, it's true? I'm so confused...also hundreds of posts behind.

First, I wanted to say that Verizon should be paying for Steven to get any and all accessories for the GNex. He has done more for this phone than they have; by far!

Second, I just called 611 to ask about the $100 credit for me and my wife to buy a new 4G phone. While I couldn't get them to do that, I did get them to take off $10 per month per line (total $20 per month) for one year to stay with Verizon. This would be a $240 discount vs. $200 phone discount.

I tried several times to get information on the release date but no luck.

They tried offering me that but I didn't want to risk jeopardizing my unlimited data.

Please allow me to quote myself.

It could be Corning Gorilla. If Samsung markets it pubically, as a feature benefit, they pay for that privilege. They can buy and use Gorilla cheaper if they dont market it that way.

Dupont Teflon is the same way. Market it as Teflon with all the benefits, you pay more for that privilege. Use it but dont market it, it's cheaper.

Happens with products all the time.

It may be Gorilla Glass or it may not. If it is, Samsung is not paying for the rights to advertise as such.

Frankly, it probably is.

 

[SamMax]

I sure hope the Nexus is online Wednesday night! I imagine we will have quite a few up to watch for that one.

Anyone going to flat out buy this thing off contract then upgrade their current phone? I am thinking about it. May be easier then getting a second line.

Im not sure yet. I got a bunch of DX stuff, its a great phone. I may see if my mom wants it. Im sure its got some life left to it.

Been playing the violin for approx 20 years. I teach currently, but am trying to get a band together...I teach Celtic and am learning Bluegrass and other styles too, good to see other classical musicians on here!

Well, you can control dynamics by turning the volume dial up and down..!
