Dang! Too bad I missed that, sounds AWESOME! I was somewhat aware of the delays and such, but wasn't interested in a new phone at that point as I still didn't have a subsidy quite yet.

Then you had the locked/encrypted bootloader once it showed up which was kinda outta the norm for HTC right? Stuff like that is what has me REAL curious what all is really going on with this device.

Been meaning to mention this forever...love the avatar. As a dude in his thirties who grew up with Transformers as my favorite action figure-type toy, your pic kicks butt. Galvatron's classic line to Starscream in the movie was epic. "Coronation Starscream, this is bad comedy."...followed by destroying my favorite decepticon.

Keeping young at heart helps with my profession as a first-grade teacher, or at least that's what I keep telling my wife and kid.

I've moved from collecting Transformers to collecting Cell phones, haha.

1. CK, are you a tiny bit thrilled that we might not be getting the Nexus now?

2. I'm 100% that we are. Talked to my sister tonight and she said that she hasn't heard anything bad around Verizon. Most of the talk is about the RAZR and how awesome it is, but she'd hear if the Nexus was cancelled, and it hasn't been.

3. I see a lot of us are in our early-mid thirties. Thundercats, Hooooooo!

That's what I'm waiting for. The Nexus Panthro!

That's awesome.

We recently broke out the old Transformer/GiJoe/Thundercats movies for our kids who are now around 5-8yrs old. They love them too. It's hilarious watching my nephew (4yrs) yell, with a lisp,
...Tunder....tunder....tunder tats....hooooooooo!

Check out the old he-man episodes on youtube, whenever a female character is on, you'd swear they drew her after a model in a men's magazine. Pretty funny stuff. Voltron is another one to check out on netflix.

So, getting semi-getting back on topic, I seriously hope our Nexus has a bigger battery. Have you guys seen the hump they're going to put on the Vigor with that extended battery? Looks like a behemoth. And not in a good way.

All,

Based on some of the things I have been reading on the net and the uncertain nature involving what I considered a stunning achievement from the Android team in 4.0 and the Galaxy Nexus I wanted to take some time to share my thoughts.

Its a shame that the past issues with Vzw have got their customers so accustomed to getting shafted on quality devices that any rumor or hint of a delay causes most to believe they will be let down again. You have to remember that some have been using the device on Verizon's LTE network for quite a while in one shape or another.

Issues arise as devices get closer to final software release concerning optimizing data services and software in final shake down. Things happen during this and at this point, there is nothing deal breaking that I am aware of concerning data connectivity on the device. Putting a new Os, LTE and Dual core with this amazing screen tech in a package this sexy means a lot has to be put into final polishing so the day 1 experience is great out the box. I caution those that are worried to calm down and accept that early Nov means you will know soon enough if your fears are valid.

Let us all as Android fans ( and yes I am still a fan) simply enjoy the fact that OUR os has grown into the biggest mobile OS on the planet and that is because of fans that are rabid about their devices and features.

This will be a massive launch for Verizon and if they screw this up then the faith alot of customers have in the company will be lost and another carrier will step up and truly become the dominate player in the US Android market...

Great network be damned, if you cant get the device you want on it...

I'm guessing it's just an error on Samsung's part, but you never know...
