Dooooooood. I almost peed myself reading that one.

Let's be honest. You only feel sorry for them because you already have the phone!

By the way, did you ever mention how battery life is for you? On par with the latest crop of LTE phones or am I resigned to charging my phone at the office?

I have four chargers. Desk, couch, bed, and car. I use them all. We are all going to see slightly dofferent results, but I can't imagine any but the lightest users getting thru a work day without charging.

So my boss comes back in and says "Hey, just make it in when you can." With a face that says "Do it! Do it! Do it!" a la Dwight Schrute.

Frakking bosses. So "polite" yet dictatorish.

I was considering coming in later that day but now forget it!

So with the big day coming soon, I'm contemplating selling my OG Droid. It's so beaten up and slow that it's near useless now, even as a backup phone.

It's in pretty bad condition, but definitely still usable. Should I try Swappa or eBay? Not even gonna bother with Verizon's trade in service, it said it would give me a measly $16 for it lol.

Can someone please explain why I keep hearing some people saying that they're able to pick up their GNex tomorrow (Wednesday the 14th)?

I know about the 15th target date (which my corp store also "confirmed"), but I must have totally missed anything about the possibility of Wednesday availability.

Am I the only one not getting excited until we get an official (and by official I mean actually official) from Verizon?

 

[rooktdphi]

Can someone explain 2 forum lingoes to me:

1. What does FAP mean?

2. Where does "arrow to the knee" come from?

TIA

Fap defined:

Urban Dictionary: fap

What is QFT?

Quoted for truth...

Get with the times, Han!!

OT: Ugh. Just found out that Lindsay Lohan did a "spread" for a certain adult magazine.

You couldn't pay me to look at that.

 

[saulback]

Just a couple times.


It's also conveniently written on a whiteboard behind him.

I stared at that for 3 minutes before figuring it out. Now I feel dumb.

No.

I wish I could be an optimistic person and cling to any positive signs I see, but I'm not.

Can't you get a quote from Swappa right now?

"I used to be a patient Verizon user like you, but then I took a Nexus delay to the knee..."

Quote of the day, hands down.

#2, the arrow in the knee bit, comes from the game "the elder scrolls". it was turned into an internet meme similar to the scene from "zero wing" back in the sega days where a screenshot was translated from japanese into english as "all your base are belong to us"

 

[have24]

and it's now a race....what happens first, they actually nail down the Higgs Boson or the Nexus is released. Exciting times on both fronts.

I don't know which one will be more groundbreaking honestly.

It's so beaten up, slow, near useless, pretty bad condition? And you want more than $16?

lol

You're not the only one, I'm hopeful but I'm not getting excited yet.

Less than 2 days away.

Even though I am not a girl, this one most accurately portrays what my reaction will be when someplace sells me the phone.

I am cautiously optimistic that Verizon is getting their heads out of their a**es.

I'm about as excited as I get when I but a lottery ticket knowing the odds of winning are 4,000,000,000 to 1

 

[HanSolo]

Where does "I am disappoint" come from?

 

[OfTheDamned]

OTD breaking the new rule.

LOL

LOL I was a bit behind as you can see by the post I quoted. Fixed it though.

 

[tdub88]

I swear, I'm not posting any more info I get here. Every time I post something it gets ignored or questioned, yet someone 10 posts later can post the exact same info and get 30 thanks for it. smh

Ohhh, somebody call the Whhaammmmbulance!!!!





Trust in yourself. Don't measure yourself by the "thanks" you receive on some internet forum.
