This is no place for a plasma vs LCD debate but ARE YOU SERIOUS!?!?!?!?!


OT TVs:

Yes. Yes I am..as compared to a local-dimming LED-backlit LCD. I'm well aware of the baggage LCD carries and have owned some of the ones earned it, but that's not the case anymore. I used to be the biggest phosphor snob in town, because there was simply no viable competition. I changed my mind as LCD tech evolved.

I just received this email, titled "RAZR/NEXUS"......fwiw (DFW area)

"Hi,

Just letting you know about the current promotion going on with the Razr right now which is attached to the email. Price is still @ $299 though but there still could be a possibility of a sale price during the week of Christmas. The Nexus is set to launch on 12/15/2011 but I would highly suggest to give it about a week if you are not in a hurry to get the phone so any issues with the software at launch can be determined. I will be out from 12/15 to 12/19 but will still be getting updates on the Nexus and can keep you on top of things as they come.[B/]

If you have any questions about the phone or the Razr promo, feel free to call or email me. The Razr promo for $100 off the Xyboard with purchase of a Razr plus $50 towards a Motorola branded accessory will be going on until Christmas. The Xyboard Tablets are starting @ $429($329 if purchased with Razr on a contract) for an 8.1 inch. Also, in addition to the above promo, the Samsung Stratosphere is on a buy one/get one free($100 for 2 after mail in rebate). So if you have 2 upgrades or looking to do 1 upgrade and one a new line of service, this is a great way to get a 4G phone at a great price. If you already have the unlimited data plan, you will be grandfathered in with your upgrade, otherwise our 4 gigs for $30 promo on our 4G network phones will still be available for a limited time. Looking forward to hearing from you!

Thanks,


Business/Sales Specialist

I stand corrected, but it wasn't like they posted it a week or 10 days before the release...so many are freaking out bc of the lack of an announcement, but like the Fascinate, if there is an announcement, it will be within 24 hours.

Oh I agree. Which is why I haven't discounted Thursday yet. If there were any word, it could be tomorrow.

On another note (OT):
I just saw a Xyboard/Razr commercial. Amazing how dumb "Xyboard" sounds when hearing it...

While his information certainly made the information more credible.. =P Should probably remove that so he doesn't get spammed with calls/texts/emails.

Although I am still optimistic about Thursday, I am also nervous. We should have heard something from Verizon by now. This is their flagship device. You do not keep something like that silent. That's just bad marketing. Here's hoping for hearing something tomorrow and a release on Thursday. *Raises Glass of Stolichnaya*

This is a thread about the Galaxy Nexus, not Droid Razr.

This is most definitely NOT their flagship device. Are you kidding me?

I don't understand why there needs to be an "official Verizon announcement" for the phone to be released...

How often is there an "official" announcement? I remember when I bought the Samsung Fascinate...there was a rumored release date (maybe 10/8 or 10/20 but I can't remember) and my rep just gave me a call when it came out without there being any "official announcement.

I don't think Verizon typically announces or advertises anything until the phone has been released.

Also, why are people saying this target date is any less credible than the 9th? There is probably more rumored confirmations for the 15th than there was for the 9th...we have several leaked documents as well.

Maybe I'm just being optimistic, but I can't help but think it's sounding pretty good.


I bought mine in September online when it was exactly released on the 8th well got to order it was actually mentioned the day right before...It just helps if it's at least updated on the website. That way we know we can buy it. I wish Verizon didn't make it much of a mess for updating the release info on the phones. For all we know if there was no speculation, the phone would have dropped in a store where everyone was clueless until someone stops by a store and posts it up causing a huge delayed frenzy.

This is not a flagship Verizon device. It's flagship Google. But may as well be a red-headed step child to Verizon.

Wow Ninja'd a few times! AGAIN!

Btw, I called VZ to check if I can bring my GN with me on the ship and use it. Unfortunately I'll be screwed up the ass with roaming charges in the Caribbean. Which means I'll have to leave the phone back the FIRST week I have her, or just keep her on ap mode.

Edit: I figured they might let people slide considering the Bahamas is a U.S. Territory :)

Usually they sell wireless on the ship at a cheaper rate than offered by Verizon. They may even sell minutes, I don't recall....
