It got me nowhere with Megan...
That got me to third base with Megan(;
Kidding, but let's not bother the VZW reps anymore about this. they know as much as us, and I'm sure they're not exactly allowed to talk about it if they do know any details. Plus when I ask them they have a slight "annoyed" tone in their voice like they were just asked the question minutes earlier.
Let's just all relax and look at a possible Tuesday or Wednesday preorder and a Thursday or Friday release, and hope for the best:D

When VZW has done pre orders in the past, do they also simultaneously disclose the date of store availability?

In other words, if they DO offer pre-sale online ordering, will I be able to estimate if pre-order will get the device to me quicker than walking in and buying it in a store on day 1?

In your answer, please assume we don't yet KNOW the release date, or if there will be pre-sale (since some people seem pretty confident in specific days). Thx.

So this week is almost on us... A big week for me in store :)

Normal work week for me is Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday 8-630

But heres this week :)

Monday - Off - going with wife to first doc visit since she got pregnant :)
<--- One proud daddy in waiting :)
Tuesday - normal work + Hangover 2 comes out!!!
Wednesday - Off (Preorder the Nexus if it comes out Friday/or be here all night to stay awake to 12:01am Nexus day)
Thursday - Hopefully Get the Nexus & Work 12-630
Friday - Normal work day
Saturday - Eternity = Enjoy the Nexus

Im really excited about the Nexus hopefully coming this week. I cant wait :)

I hear that. My boss keeps telling me I have 2 1/2 weeks to use by March or I am going to lose it (can only carry over so many vacation hours year to year) SO - I think I am taking off release day. Man my wife is going to be annoyed. No big vacation this year, I haven't taken any time off - but I am going to take off a day to pick up a phone :):)

Oh well - I'll be able to play with my Nexus while she gives me the silent treatment :D

Good to know. Contemplating (pre)ordering online this time. I anticipate receiving a flawless device, but there's always that chance...

For me personally, I've always ordered online. I have had better luck that way. And if there is any problems they are very helpful. Some corporate stores give u hard time even if u are well within return period.( I'm sure not all of them, but the store near me is that way.) Plus the excitement of waiting for your order is like Christmas!!

Well my week doesn't involve serious stuff like having a child, but still eventful. Many up's and downs...
Tonight - Dexter :)
Monday - Statistics final
Tuesday - More nerd comes out, and a game I play gets a big update that will have me playing it way too much
Wednesday - 2 online finals
Thursday - Social Informatics final
Then the Nexus release thrown in there somewhere, then done with school. And my buddy from back home comes down for a week to golf every day. Can't wait for Thursday afternoon...

Ill try this again since it wouldn't work on my first ever post. I wanted to ask you all about my upgrade eligibility. I'm due for an upgrade on 3/6/2012. When I log into my account on my phone it says I get a $30 credit. Finally, when I log in online it says I can upgrade at a discounted price (which shows $300 for Razr, Rezound, iPhone 4s, etc). So my question for all of you is, what will this thing cost me? Having three different things shown for the exact same phone has me confused, but I know all of you can help. Thanks in advance!

Yeah - we can carry over about 400 hours of vacation time, and he told me I am 90 hours over that. Not to mention personal and comp time. I don't know how some people I work with run out of time. It adds up so quick. Good luck at the doctor. Congrats!! :)

I bet its that 1 year upgrade for the primary line that verizon got rid of. That sounds how it looked online for me when i used it for my wife.

edit - i forgot the important part lol... you can upgrade at the discounted price

Wanted your guys input on this..I have a mac pro and I want a more seamless way to sync all music via iTunes once I get the GN. My 2 Questions:
1) Anyone know of a better program than Twist to sync?
2) Will Google Music Beta take care of syncing between iTunes direct to the phone?

I can't really test anything out right now as I have no phone :/

Google Music sync's iTunes fine. I use it to steal all my wifes music lol.... Greatest part is it take no space, and you can set it to download some for those times when you dont have a connection.

Usually, yes. The only time I can think of that they didn't was with the RAZR where they said it would ship no later then x date.

hey guys, just dropped in after a long day. Did I hear someone say were looking out for pre orders at midnight tonight??

Edit: also, does anyone know if you can pre order if you are already on contract and buying for retail? <--Still have not gotten a clear answer on this from anyone yet..

When are we not looking out for midnight preorders? Seems to be a game of how many nights can we disappoint ourselves in a row. Anybody keeping score?
:p

Off-Topic (Dexter)

Anyone with thoughts?

I wasn't too impressed with tonight's episode. Something felt drawn out and random about it. What I did see...

The intern nerd may actually know Dexter's true identity. He thought it was cool until Dexter jumped all over him, now, he seems to be having a moral dilemma in knowing that Dex can't control it (just my opinion).

Are they killing Deb off with the poison? I don't think so, but, maybe.

Bautista?

I don't know, usually when the season hits this point, I feel like I can't possibly wait until the next episode. This one was ho-hum to me. Maybe they over did it with story lines, or, the addition of new characters, something just seemed like they were trying too hard.

It took me about 5 years to max out my vacation time. Now, I just use what I want/accrue each year, and I still carry over that 400ish. If I don't wind up using that 90 hours it gets converted to sick time, which is nice if I ever need it.
