Hi everyone!

I am Ben's better half. I just wanted to say that I both love your group and hate it at the same time. I hope you can understand that!

I'm glad that he found a group of people as crazy as he is, because lord knows I can't handle it. All he does is live on this site, and I need him to be a real, live human husband again.

So I beg you guys to please kick him out of here (read: ban) as soon as this phone is on sale okay? Thursday, right?

I swear I could be seeing a ship captain on the sly and he wouldn't notice!

Okay guys and dolls, I've said my piece. His sister and myself very much can't wait til the Nexus comes out, and we are iPhone girls.

Bye!

Dear Princess,

Firstly, I want to warmly welcome you to this site. Secondly, I want to personally and humbly apologize to you. I am the reason that this thread is the way it is. I purposely started it and cultivated it to go viral. I did that by cultivating sources who would leak us inside information.

Now, whereas that's fun and all, I feel personally responsible for the addictive nature of it. It's a good thing that you miss your husband and care that he's on here too much. Many women wouldn't. That shows that their's life in your marriage, yet. I'm happy about this.

If you are feeling neglected because of a addictive nature of this thread, again, I'm very sorry. This hurts me, because as a former pastor, I deeply care about marriage and families. I would be deeply grieved to know that anything I did was causing stress on these precious relationships. So, I do ask your forgiveness and will pray for your marriage. If you need help or if you need me to speak to your husband, feel free to let me know and I will.

We ARE expecting the thread to close sometime this Thursday, as Verizon seems to be releasing the phone then, please God. Can I get an Amen?
So, you should have your husband back.

Moderately, but not totally jokingly yours,
Steven (58)

Ok, I'll bite. Howdja do that? I'm a certified geek, but I've missed that trick along the way.

I googled for ransom note generator, the generator had each letter as it's own image so I took a screen shot and uploaded it and then linked to it

I don't know anybody who doesn't use their real name on Facebook. And if the thief did know your name, they could at least find your profile pic which may work. A lot of stuff is stolen by friends of friends, so it is a real possibility.

Literally, in 5 seconds, I can think of 7 of my friends that don't use their real name.

Anyway, Face Unlock isn't meant to be a security feature in the first place. It's a cool gimmick. If people are that concerned about security they should use the pattern/password unlock (not PIN; cause if they know your name and can find a pic of you, they probably will figure out your bday, which is like 90% of PIN passwords), and have one of the phone finder/killer apps on there.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Ben? This is like seeing your favorite Disney character remove their costume head outside of It's A Small World. Devastating.

Hahahahahahahahahaha.

Woah woah woah, I just hit my 1337th post a little while ago!

Excellent! It is more than enough for most and the upload is swell at 5Mbps. Makes for speedy uploads to your photobucket account I'm sure

 

[Dajagwar]

Yeah, family over phone any day. He is on Neocate, and he seems happy and healthy on it, I am trying to work with insurance to get reimbursed, (read nexus fund back). Hopefully they will understand (I may leave the nexus out of the conversation though

Not putting it up till I have the Nexus in hand.

Haha oh wow.

It made sense at the time! You'd be surprised at how playing clarinet can be so easily misinterpreted

I know. I took it for 2 years actually - I can't read music for poop though. Played really well when the teacher would let me write the notes rather than have to decipher the damn things. And my daughter tried last year - she didn't have the desire to do it. Lol. I just couldn't resist pointing out the obvious correlation to a gutter comment in your post though.

Go Green! Im also in Lansing, but haven't got the $100 yet, struck out 4 times so far. What's your secret?

I struck out a few times myself... it may have something to do with the CSR you get!

I was following the script given earlier in the thread:

THIS IS WHAT YOU NEED TO TELL THE CSR

search "3g to 4g smartphone promo" in the "doorways" system.

Promo code: CH4GE

If the CSR had said no, I would have begged that I was a long-time customer, had OG DROID for 2 years and wanted to upgrade. If that hadn't worked, I would have asked for the supervisor. But it turns out I didn't need any of those steps! The CSR noted on my account that I'm eligible, and I will have to remind them when I go to the store. And yes, a NE2 credit stacks with the $100.

Good hunting!

Should there be a widow and widowers of the ***Official Galaxy Nexus Pre-Release thread***?
My DH would join....

 

[AppsRUs]

This probably isn't news, but I walked into my local corporate store on break this evening and the associate pulled the Nexus out of his pocket. He asked if I wanted to hold it, and I did. All I could do was smile. It's a thing of beauty. The screen is amazing, its fast...I was completely blown away. Then he said, "Be here Thursday."

Here's hoping we don't have to wait another week for this thing.

Off Topic

Not sure if anyone was looking at picking up Star Wars the Bluray edition box set it's on sale for $79 on Amazon.

Married 32 years. This speaks to me.

Yup - photobucket uploads fast. It's the refresh rate of this forum I'm not happy with.

Who is going to steal my phone and have my picture? My friends, not a big deal to me.

Also this is reallllllllly old.

Whoa, calm down killa. If you'll notice, I did say that "I' hadn't seen that before, and that I wasn't really concerned with anyone stealing my phone, but that it was just a letdown.

Also, judging by some of the questions we're seeing and the fact that despite hawking this phone like crazy I hadn't seen it, being outdated doesn't mean everyone has seen it. But thanks for your comment and I hope you have a wonderful evening.

 

[abert78160]

Is there any advantage to buying the phone from RadioShack or Best Buy or are these just other options?

 

[blackwizard]

couldn't you just use a pin that's NOT your birthday?

Sorry to bring up the whole promo thing again. Just a quick question: I live in the mid-west and succeeded in getting a notation on my account regarding the $100 3G to 4G promo. I called 2 Verizon stores in my area and both said that they saw the note in the account but the only way to get it is to order over the phone.

Anyone else hear differently? I really want to pick it up on Thursday in person but it's not worth losing 100 dollars over.

Side note: Was joking around with one of the reps at the store and he totally understood my situation. Said he is waiting for the phone himself and was involved in all these forums. I asked specifically about Androidforums.com and he said yes. Strangely he didn't confirm the 15th as the release date...

 

[DrexelDragon]

I kinda think I should just go to sleep now cause that means when I wake up the Gnex will be here tomorrow! What should I do?! Stay up with you crazies!?

Edit: by tomorrow, I mean tomorrow's tomorrow. If you understand that lol
