Im sure people are tired of waiting just like me. Im done waiting im going back on my g2x and waiting for Cyanogenmod 9. Google decided to whore itself to verizon, the reason i say whore is because they gave all the power and authority to verizon. Yes i understand that releasing the GN on verizon is good for business after all verizon is the largest carrier. But allowing verizon to paint there feces logo over a phone that has traditionally been a bloat and logo free developer phone is the first sign that verizon is calling the shots. No info on a US release for a phone that was announced almost 7 weeks ago is beyond frustrating its a horrible business plan and youve succesfully pissed away any chance of competing in holiday sales. The crazy thing is that the hype and demand was there not just on the phone and tech blogs.
Also consider the price factor. 800$ for a phone is just to much to swallow. When i purchased the nexus one at 530$ that was a softer blow, a more reasonable price for tech that really was cutting edge at its time, but 800$ for the 16gb version of a phone that has the same specs hardware wise of the SGSII, i cant do. Plus im sure that thats the price it will be once it does come to bestbuy or some other retailer for the 32gb gsm version if not more.
Im going back to my g2x and im eagerly awaiting the arrival of cyanogenmod 9, which will likely be coming to us some time in early January, probably around the same time that the gsm version is available in the US. With CM9 i get to keep my 8mp camera and my sd card slot not to mention my tegra games. I love the Nexus line im a strong supporter of android and google but i done waiting. CM9 will allow me to use the software with the hardware i want for now. In febuary i will be looking hard at a quad core tegra device. End of rant. Anyone else out there feel the same??
