So the time for the surreal moment of last post has arrived. I had to look back at the OP to realize this train ride started out on April 10!! I knew it'd been awhile but man, I guess time really does fly.
So for the last 3+ months we've been up, we've been down and just about everywhere in between depending on the day. Well, that describes me anyway. Many of us have been in, out, undecided and every combination therein. I'm still considering myself the latter so even as we close up shop here, I'll still be lurking around, keeping an eye on things in the coming days.
A huge congrats to those of you who already have your G3's and advanced congrats to the vzw folk who are about to about to pull their shiny new toy out of the box in the hours ahead. Wonder how many folks will be peering out the window waiting for the delivery truck? Yes, you know who you are and yes, I know I would be doing the same.
To say the least, I've thoroughly enjoyed the thread. At well over 4k replies and near 55k views at the time of this writing, I think we can say with confidence that AF is and will continue to be the apex of discussion for upcoming Android devices. And where else can you get those kind of stats
AND be a part of a cool bunch of people that treat each other respectfully throughout? It speaks volumes to the type of members we have here. I've said that for years and this thread was a reaffirmation of what I've always known.
To those of you who followed along quietly...perhaps give some thought to getting in the mix next time. We'd like to hear from you! Can pretty much guarantee you'll fit right in. Even if you get tired of us, Early's dog (aka DoglyMon) is always looking for a new friend to hang with. And if you happen to carry
milk bones ribeyes, you're a shoo-in.
To all the active participants...it's been an honor and a privilege. I knew many of you coming into this, in some cases from prior release threads. Some of us have crossed paths in other corners of AF. And yet others I got to know here for the first time. A sincere thanks to you all. A pre-release thread is but an empty page without all of you, your insights, your wit and wisdom. Sure that last part doesn't really apply to
me but hey, I started the thread so I get a pass on that.
To the Best Buy dude...:beer: (3/32 ftw!!)
To the blogs...you're welcome.
Hope to see you all for the next chapter. I'm not sure yet how it will be written, when that might be, or which device will be the catalyst. But it will happen, that I'm sure of. And that's the beauty of this Android addiction we share. There's always something to be excited about just around the bend.
See you all there. :hello:
