***Official Galaxy Nexus Pre-Release speculation thread**

I currently have a nokia phone from 2005 running verizon backup assistant.

When I get my galaxy nexus, it will immediately import my gmail contacts, correct?

Will I then need to use verizon backup assistant to import my current contacts?

Will they replace my gmail contacts? Will they all automatically be added (creating hordes of repeats)?

Bumping this question ^^^

Another question: do you guys recommend syncing google voice to your primary phone number? I imagine the answer is a resounding yes. Right now I have google voice, but on a separate phone number since I use a free phone from 2005. Would it be in my best interests to use my primary cell number that I use the SGN with for google voice in the future?

Anyone into guns in here? Any ideas for a good first handgun? I've been shooting with my girlfriends dad and i got hooked so since then i've shot a plethera of handguns multiple .22s .45s and 9s, haven't shot any other hand guns but have also had my eye out on posibly getting an assault rifle, really liking the AR15 or M4 style rifles with pistol grips, have shot a few as well and they are damn nice. Any ideas?

This is my first non AR gun that I own. I love it.

P250 Compact

I've been away all morning. What's the celebration about?

My wife texted me to ask how my day is going. Told her too much Nexus, not enough work.

She says she doesn't want to hear about the Nexus for at least a month after I get it. She's worn out.

We're on a merry-go-round?

I though we were being waterboarded

Actually, we forgot what we're clapping about.

Just stopped by my local VZW store and spoke to the manager and he told me that he has them in stock but cannot sell them till the 15th. He asked for my name and number so I could be put on the waiting list, I asked how long the waiting list was and he said your the first person. I asked when was the earliest I could pick it up on the 15th and he said as soon as they open. This store is in NW Houston if anyone is interested. Can't wait any longer....

You didn't think it had anything to do with a Nexus confirmation, did you?

Spoiler

I would have put that the 15th keeps getting more confirmation, but that would have been way ninja'd by the time I posted.

I ABSOLUTELY love my Baby Desert Eagle .40. It's also known as the Jericho, Israeli made and tank tough. They are hard to find but really affordable. I have shot a lot of different handguns and it "kicks" less than most 9mm.

Edit: I obviously do not know how to quote correctly

As for those still calling stores who say they don't know and they have no stock, they're lying! The stores have stock, they know when the target date is, they aren't allowed to say. I just got off the phone with the Verizon store that is located in the same city where Radio Shack got stock last Thursday. I called twice and got two different reps, one male, one female. The female stuttered around and eventually said she didn't know and when I asked if they had stock in, she stuttered like she didn't know what to do, faked like she was looking it up but she didn't pause long enough and blurted out no stock. The male CSR fed me the same BS about not knowing when and to sign up for more info on the website and they had no clue when it would be released. I then asked him if they had stock and he said no. I then let him know I wasn't playing and that the Radio Shack in the same town had stock on Thursday last week and I had actually unboxed and looked at one. He stuttered after that and said "Even if we did have stock I couldn't tell you how many we have" LOL!!

Just goes to show you, these stores know, they've been placed under a gag order and alot are still following that order. Since this particular store won't play ball, I won't be doing business with them. I'm going to Radio Shack eventhough I know I won't get a discount there.

I had a similiar situation last Wed.. lol..

Me: Do you have the Nexas in stock?
Him: Nope
Me: Release date?
Him: Was supposed to be 9th, got delayed
Me: What's the reason?
Him: I am thinking it's a software bug..
Some time passes..
Me: Well, if it's a software bug in the phone, why wouldn't they be recalling them from stores??
Him: Yeah, they're not, I don't know why..
Me: YOU DO HAVE THE PHONE IN STOCK!! LIAR!! LOL

This place will be ugly if this thing doesn't drop this week. Everyone is getting their hopes up, including myself. I'm drawing the line this week. Going to be THAT guy with an ultimatum. If I can't get the phone this week, I'm moving on. My screen on my OG Droid just went out and I can only go so long without a phone.

Mint container as dock?

Spoiler

Not so much...

Paperclip and wall clip as dock?

Confirmed.

I actually made a dock using the attached (I hope) .pdf plans for my N1 and it's still going strong as my bedside charging station/alarm clock holder. I used some extra Card Stock my wife had lying around, regular paper doesn't work... I know cuz I tried

 

[carpmike21]

Glutton for punishment, I see.

Very off topic but i live in New Jersey and i figured i would have to get SOMETHING accomplished today, so i've been meaning to go to the police station to file for a firearms ID card and to get a Pistol Permit. Now the wait begins for that to be approved.

Anyone into guns in here? Any ideas for a good first handgun? I've been shooting with my girlfriends dad and i got hooked so since then i've shot a plethera of handguns multiple .22s .45s and 9s, haven't shot any other hand guns but have also had my eye out on posibly getting an assault rifle, really liking the AR15 or M4 style rifles with pistol grips, have shot a few as well and they are damn nice. Any ideas?

I just got my LTC and bought a Smith & Wesson MP9. Excellent pistol. My brother in law has an AR15 and says it's the best gun he's ever fired. I don't carry, I just target shoot.

So this guy SirLance posts and says that Google+ was him, then doesn't post/respond to people after him. Like oh? Sorry for the skepticism but you can't blame me after everything that's happened!

OT Gun Talk:

Spoiler

Im a Gun guy. I'm into Glocks and recommend the 9mm versions to all new shooters. Start with a Glock 19, buy 1000 rounds and take a training course. Then you can gradually move into the more powerful calibers. I personally carry a .40, Glock 23. Best weapon I've ever owned.

The AR is my choice of carbine as well. Big discrepancy on brands, some are real junk. I'd stick with Bravo Company(my personal brand), Daniel Defense, or Colt. I would recommend another forum for this. Go there an READ, read, read. M4Carbine.net If you need a referral, let me know, it can speed up the approval process for getting in there.

PM me if you have any other questions, or we could get a thread going in the lounge. let me know!
