Absolutely love Crown, but fall back on Jack more often than not. Have the new honey variety right now. I know it is gimmicky but I like it regardless.

Tennessee Honey is the best ice cold and on the rocks. Freeze the bottle :cool:

Pretty sure there's going to be an announcement tomorrow, verizon is knows to upload/leak press shots the day before the announcement on more then one occasion, plus tomorrow is exactly 1 week before the rumored dec 8th date. Looks like il be getting my prime and my nexus next Thursday!

I'm anticipating a dev creating a way to disable the on-screen buttons "on by default" and enable a "swipe up gesture" from the bottom edge of the screen to bring them up. All screen= epic win. I believe its doable considering ICS gives the app devs the ability to easily make their apps scale to different screen sizes. Could be fun.

You mean an HD screen where the buttons don't take up any valuable pixel space? Hmmmm, I think I've seen that somewhere before.

Based on the phone width alone, I did some math and expected to uncover some lies somewhere, probably with aspect ratio - because I saw a movie being shown with the soft buttons in one vid. But with soft buttons, the aspect ratio is 1.64 - think 16.4:10 - pretty close to 16:9, closer than I'd expected when using 4.65" as a reference.

It's a mystery to me.

I'm not sure if this is what you're getting at, but non-square pixels could easily explain a roughly 1% deviation from the expected diagonal. I don't think it's likely here, but CRT's frequently used to be driven w/oblong pixels (especially at the 5:4 ratio 1280x1024 resolution).

As opposed to boys, who are all sunshine and roses?

And who can also be replaced by something that doesn't talk and runs on batteries....

RD usually stands for research and development...sure this guy wasn't going to a manager meeting with/for R&D?

What was the exact wording on the G+ post I wonder?

donnyb · Nov 30, 2011

Did the Galaxy Nexus just get updated?

Only thing I see different is the hangouts section on the first page..

abert78160 · Nov 30, 2011

I spend too much time spinning the phone on the Galaxy Nexus page.

donnyb · Nov 30, 2011

@noahkravitz said check TechnoBuffalo - Immerse Yourself in Technology at 10pm PST. This means a review unit is can be talked about, could it be the Nexus? @P3Droid seem to be pretty active also. This could be a good sign....

Wow, pre-orders tonight would be amazing :O
I'd be so giddy in school the next day lol.

ebe3692 · Nov 30, 2011

ok guys, need contract advice.
I am now off-contract as of last month. since I have been saving for the Nexus since June - due to the delays, I actually have enough to buy it outright and stay off contract. I do have unlimited data, but I understand this would be grandfathered in if I go back on anyway.
So would anyone advise me to stay off contract and buy it full price? I am almost sure I will be with verizon for as long as I have my current job since we get a corporate discount.

zebug · Nov 30, 2011

ok, my little Eris is on life support, takes a good 15-20 seconds after dialing before it actually starts to make the call, my camera just stopped working today, my GPS had me in the middle of the ocean offshore from Brazil........for the love of god, release the Nexus!!!!!!!!!!!!

edit, in case anyone was wondering, I am not in the middle of the ocean offshore from Brazil

Hilbe · Nov 30, 2011

So if online/telesales pre-order starts on the 6th, how many people are considering hitting the store instead? Seems like we'd get it quicker in-store.

About ready to have a managers meeting with one of the RDs. First time at the Metropol

donnyb · Nov 30, 2011

If blogger can talk about review units (Nexus) tonight at 10pm pst. This only means the SGN will be released next week. I am hoping this is the case.
