Sorry to hear about the kids, hope they feel better soon.

And I only count 3 days. Can't count today or the weekend, nor launch day, so only a 3 days left. Did I do it right?

Actually it's only one day.. if we just go to sleep until Wednesday morning... boom... one day.

I cannot wait to see what you power users do with this phone.

As for me.... I just need an updated handset & LTE. My old wrinkled eyes needed the larger display yesterday.

My OG Droid Has Served Me Well

Something one of you developer types can possibly make money on is an APP or Theme that will forbid any screens with WHITE or bright colored backgrounds.

Law enforcement, Security and PI types need this Mucho Grande for surveillance/undercover work that requires communications that don't light up your face or your location.

Someone please come up with one. I would love to have a switch that made it all Red on Black.

I would pay for this kind of app.

I don't think it would be just one App, Theme creators would have to Theme each app individually, there are some ROMs where the dev has already chosen a dark theme for all their apps but that doesn't mean every app YOU use will be theme'd as such. System screens though would follow the over all system color scheme determined by the ROM.

Anyone else thing we are really close to having enough info for Steven to change the title of the thread to include 12/8? I know many were not onboard with the latest rumor changes, but this is getting to be a super-rumor, if not an all-but confirmed fact. What do you say?

she'll miss you. Or you could start badgering her with quad-core phone questions.

I'm sure AF can make a thread for that

I asked her about the HTC Ville a few days ago, and she very firmly told me that I've exhausted "her BS time" for at least a year.

I know, but how high can we set the bar for all future threads? So nobody can beat this one!

I turned my Thunderbolt off last night before bed. Just turned it on. It booted in less than 5 seconds. Weird. Usually takes a good 40secs. or more

You probably have "fast boot" on in the settings. Same thing happened with my Dinc2.

I support this thought.

Eh, I think we collectively decided that changing the title of the thread itself wasn't really necessary. I would definitely be in favor of some boldface print in the OP clearly declaring that we're relatively sure the 8th is the final release date, though.

Where in Burlco? I'm in Marlton. Can't be that far.

Yeah, Burlington County. I live in Delanco - across from Cornwells Heights on the PA side of the river. You aren't far at all.

Is it time to just give up and buy another phone?

Yeah. I thought of that. But it has always been set to fast boot. Oh well. I'll have the nexus soon anyways

Nope, I think the past 24 hours or so have given us

A New Hope.

Sorry, couldn't resist

You've exhausted YOUR time. PM her number, I wanna start asking for weekly updates on when southern RI will get LTE

Off topic TV stuff:

So we watched the first episode of Homeland last night! Pretty good, I think it's a keeper. The last scene was pretty shocking. Kind of reminds us of "24".

Also, X Factor:

Ugh. Drew. Crying. Ugh.

Get over it, kid. You didn't change your style, you were always half asleep when you sang. Not a surprise.

CyanogenMod has a "RenderFX" widget that can do a number of color schemes including night mode (all red) and many others such as "terminal" (all green like a green screen dumb terminal).

Same here - according to the map I'm squarely in the 4G zone, but again thanks to Philly. However, where I moved from in Jersey, Medford, is just barely on the fringe. Do any of our Marlton people have 4G, and any issue staying on 4G?

Oh, and good morning everyone. Sleeping in sure was nice.

Wow you and I must be really close. I'm in Marlton, about a mile from Medford.

Anyway, I too am squarely in the 4G coverage area according to the map. Don't know anyone around here that has a 4G phone though, so I can't comment on the map's accuracy.

Please, NO! Let's not. Just my vote. I really don't see the need. Just update info in the op.

The show me and my wife really like this season is New Girl and Whitney. Have you watched those?

Fearing that Hanette will become suicidal - or worse, homicidal - the executives decide that keeping their faithful employee sane is more important than their silly little prank, and set the date for 12/8.

You've never worked for Verizon!

Their sadistic management thrives on torturing their employees! Just look at what they do to us and we pay them!

Did you see Blanket the other night? I see why they don't let him talk. I liked Astro and I'm surprised Chris is still in it.
