I'm ten...


times two

I'm ten and a half...


Times two.

Well if we're getting technical, I'm 10.4583 times 2 :p

I'm inverse log of 1.76...

Oh we are getting technical?

I'm about 10.763423 times 2.

You realize that makes you about 3 months old, right?

-Nkk

PS I am ln(3.1061) + e^(i*pi)

I know all this is from yesterday... But I'm 34.... Today.... And was hoping for a GNex for my birthday from Verizon since I have been in a relationship with them for 8 years. :D

But you're not gonna like it...

Anyway, long story short: According to my Source as well, Nexus has been delayed to 12/8 :(

After some buttering up, my Source agreed to call me as SOON as (s)he knows the Launch Date for certain. And as soon as I know, you'll know.

Well, at least we'll far exceed the DInc thread in posts, if not views. That's small consolation for having to wait 2-1/2 more short weeks for a phone we've been following since it was first rumored for release mid-September as Prime.

Not sure who's right now: Hanette, who's saying this week? Or multiple sources citing 12/8? :thinking:

I didn't pursue it further cause I didn't believe him. He seemed very confident though. Asked an associate and they said "22nd". He gave me his card too.

Any chance of calling the guy who gave you his card and see if he is still sticking with his story, if so seeing if he can get you more info on when they will, or if they have, recieved the phone in store???

Happy Birthday! Sorry, Verizon is a sucky party guest, they don't bring a present, they hide the ice cream sandwiches and say they were covered in bugs, and instead try to shove razr blades down your throat.

Didnt a source say many moons ago that if there is a software bug found they would still release it then just get google to push an OTA?

This would assume a flaw with the OS and not a flaw with something added by VZW. I am actually quite curious VZW crapware is on this phone and Google is still handling updates. That Backup Assistant is quite low level as it comes up on a phone reset on the Ccharge as one of the initial setup things and has stuff related to it in Settings if I am not mistaken. Add to this the fact it back ups contact that has been massively reworked into People and I am guessing it needed a huge rework to even work with ICS at all and could likely have all sorts of issues if this rework wasn't being handled LONG before Nexus was even announced. This would mean it would have to have been getting worked before ICS source was finished.

Basically as soon as I saw news GN was coming with Backup Assistant I was WORRIED!!

People need to stop sending me emails... they keep giving me false hope until I look at them. :(

Me too - and it's mostly advertising for the Friday. I just want to see emails from Verizon or Samsung or Google telling me this phone is available, or will be available with a solid date.
The second best thing to this is emails that start with 'you have a message from android forums' - unless I'm in trouble - then I don't want it :D:p;)

Sure, I'll call him in about 20 minutes and report back

Actually, I'm on the west coast and Costco isn't open yet, so I'll call as soon as it does

At this point, as pissed as I'd be about the delay, I'd be OK if they'd just announce the 8th. Just give me a date!

In a perverse way, the lack of an announcement could be interpreted as a hopeful sign, though. If V really wanted to release on the 8th, they have no reason (not that they need one) not to say so. Maybe they're not saying because there really is an issue they hope to resolve and release it sooner? Of course, it could also mean they don't even know if they'll make the 8th...
