I love the humor, it helps to laugh more and keep the Nexus blues at bay.

I hope it's just a software thing (crossed fingers and a little prayer). A phone that mutes itself while you aren't looking would certainly be a problem for people that rely on it as a phone.

I have no doubts about that. It would not be good if it plays games on us as much as we plays games on it.

Congrats BabyBlue.

Now everytime I see BB, I don't think Best Buy anymore.

I had to run to BB to get a TV.

I think, what, your taking BabyBlue's TV? Is she giving them away? She'll meet you in the dark alley for a good deal.

Seriously, takes me a few seconds to figure it all out.

Not sure if this has been posted already, but the following compares the Sii and Nexus camera. The night time shots are very promising.

Samsung Galaxy Nexus vs Samsung Galaxy SII (S2) [Camera Test] | Hemorrdroids.net

Those night time (low light) pics are night and day (no pun intended). The Nexus blows the S2 away in low light. In all the others they are basically the same. Maybe everyone that automatically discounts the 5 MP shooter automatically (just because it is not an 8) should take a look at these.

Went to Verizon today.

Expressed my grief to one of the workers. He whispers to me that he has the accessories to the GNEX.

I turn to him and say "so" ever so sadly

I handled the rezound and razr. I have small hands so the razr felt awkward and wide like other people said. Rezound was a little better. Couldnt figure out how to activate the beats stuff.

I sighed and walked out of the store.

The end

Here's a question. If It's releasing in December.... why did google set up it's contest to end when it did?

Ytram · Nov 19, 2011

This whole forum is in a mopey, depressing mood and everyone is assuming the worst. Everyone's assuming the 16GB is going to be the only thing available, despite the evidence against it, and now everyone is assuming the volume bug is widespread, when it obviously isn't being reported in any great magnitude. I know the lack of a 21st release is annoying, but lighten up Francis!

I'm going to go back to enjoying my vacation and check back in a few days. By the way, my application is still monitoring the VZW website for Phone 5801, so if I get notified, this thread will still be my first stop

woodraskam · Nov 19, 2011

Listening to the VergeCast....we're not the only ones who go off topic.

At least we haven't tried to apply X-Men characters to the different phone companies.

I think that had to do with the official release of ICS.
Can someone chime in and answer this?

Reborn58 · Nov 19, 2011

This thread was so upbeat a few short Weeks ago. We should play a game and get that love back...

JustinHEMI · Nov 19, 2011

I talked to the old lady down the street and she never heard of the gn!!! Does this mean it is possible it is never going to be released? OMGWTFBBQ!?!?!?!11!

Amen brother... I'm believing for good news. We have just as much reason to be positive about next week as we do to be negative about a December release....

Nice post!

Hey have a great vacation and I'll be monitoring PhoneID5801 with ya

iowabowtech · Nov 19, 2011

Guys, I don't buy the 16 GB thing. It's 32 GB and late Nov, early Dec at worst. We're fine. Could have worked out better but no worries.

A game like applying x-men characters to carriers?

I kid

brain85 · Nov 19, 2011

Off topic, but I did that RSD thing to my OG droid, and now I can't get my network to work. Can't receive/make calls, can't message, and can't do data unless I'm on wifi. I've "activated" like 4 times, and still nothing.

Please help...I'll have to go back to my flip phone if I can't get this to work.

Considering the number of people reporting the problem in the short time it's been out, I'd say its significant. But I also truly believe that this will turn out to be a software bug. Some errant line of code that needs to be tweaked and all will be fine.

Yes, things are pretty down today, but the history of this thread is when it hits bottom (like about now) is when we seem to get a whiff of some amazing new news. I'm hoping

"How the hell did you get in my house?" lol

Alright, Verizon is getting the phone this year. If not, it would be the biggest egg in the face moment ever, and there would be a ton of imports being used already.

Namrak · Nov 19, 2011

Han, does your sister know how Verizon plans to launch? Online or in store? Soft launch, etc?

I really can't see myself purchasing a phone with only 16 gb of on board storage-no sd card. I may have to pass on this baby and wait. My DX is in very good shape.

I'm going to pretend I didn't just read that

brain85 · Nov 19, 2011

Guys, we'll be able to get the phone next week sometime. Chill out.

Please, we're not that bad.

Although the idea of applying Star Wars characters seems oddly appealing. Some of them even write themselves.
