Well that won't be me. I wasn't even aware Thor's father (odin) had anything to do with Android.

My girlfriend just asked me what the big deal is with this phone... my response:

"I have no idea what Verizon is doing with it. The reason I want it is because it is a Nexus, which is a pure Google phone running stock Android. It has the newest Android OS and will be first in line for all updates, it is the phone of all nerd phones! Lol."

8GB RAM DDR2 CORSAIR XMS2 DHX - Voltage @ 2.1 (Mfg Recommended)

Suggestion: Don't price any sets of 8GB DDR3 compared to your high-end DDR2 from back in the day. My Crucial Ballistix DDR2 is worth about 1/10th its original purchase price.

Warms my heart to see someone who knows how to configure their hard drives for actual use rather than just RAID 0 bragging rights.

No, don't do this guys. Why are you trying to drag everyone down with us? P3Droid was one of the BEST devs for my OG Droid, I STILL use his stuff.... Now we ran him off. Guys, come on, be patient. Yes it sucks, but we dont need to burn every bridge we come by. The phone will be out soon, only a few more days.

Lets clean up our act guys.

This thread is indeed epic, but unfortunately it would not be a record. The Slickdeals.net forum thread covering the HP Touchpad fire sale was absolutely insane.

Forum link below if interested in looking at it.

HP TouchPad 9.7" WiFi Tablet: 16GB $100, 32GB $150 + Free shipping - Slickdeals.net

While it was indeed epic.. we have almost double the posts..

*ne'ermind.. forgot about the size limit there and how many different 'threads' made up the same thread. Still doesn't hold a candle to the Bronie post Chief talked about earlier.

Um, that only has 36,000 posts. This thread crushes that one.

That current thread does. But take into account the retired threads due to the posting limit.

Anybody in Loudoun County, VA heard anything about the nexus? I plan on calling the Dulles and Leesburg stores tommorow if nobody else has.

I do agree with your post, but we were not the ones that ran him off. It had something to do with ADR and I dont think the nexus had anything to do with it

Hi Stigy!! wait....who are you again?

fiatandroid · Dec 7, 2011

i don't know if someone's confirmed this already, but 4g back up and running without problem for the last few hours in my corner of nyc.

Doesn't make sense, does it?
A launch delay driven by late bugs or network issues shouldn't cause actions like these. There may be some deeper rumblings driven by the recent C Block legal actions. Might just force VZW to allow Google Wallet, but fights in that league usually take quite a bit of time to resolve.

Take no notice of this. I'm a cynic. Wait......where are my happy meds when I need 'em.......

The only real scenario I can imagine is that once it got around the webz that it was confirmed for the 9th. The execs who thought they were super sneaky caught wind of it and decided to try and kill an ant with a carpet bomb.

Did she laugh at you or does she sort of understand (or at least fake understanding)?

SamMax · Dec 7, 2011

I will be staying up tonight for sure...I'm sure it'll be in vain but...

Verizon has a meeting early in the morning before stores open, whatever they find out in the am might pop up tonight, weather it's a Nexus or Droid 4, I want to know.

Evening everyone.

Does the Guiness Book of World Records have a category for the longest Forum Thread, I think this one would win hands down.

Sadly I think there's a PS3 vs XBox 360 vs Wii thread that is still ongoing with over 160,000 posts.

So, I have a couple of tidbits to share, two phone calls, less than an hour apart.

At 1557, I called Costco to see how things were looking. My contact there said that they had just been visited by their District Manager and they discussed the Nexus at length. She said "we definitely will have them on Friday, I don't know how many but Friday is the day". I told her about all of the info we've been hearing about the delay. She said he was very clear that they would they would be selling it on Friday and she had heard nothing about any delays. Good to go, right?

Not so fast, Skippy.

My VZW corporate store dude called me at 1646. He was sorry to inform me that the Friday launch had been delayed indefinitely, with no information on when it would be released but he will be calling again just as soon as he hears something.

So, ever faithful and optimistic, I'll be at Costco at 10AM Friday. While it is not entirely clear that I'll be leaving Nexus in hand, I may at least be munching those delicious chocolate chip cookies in consolation.

Quick question. Not sure you would know the answer, but the nearest costco is quite a bit far for me. If I am not a member (reading lifehacker.com/5852788/how-to-shop-at-costco-and-sams-club-without-a-membership) can I still buy phones there? would they just add 5%? Maybe I should call them and ask?
-Thanks

Can strike me off the list of people who'll bitch about sbfs and/or odin files. I honestly don't care about them, especially with the Gnex.

Plus, if you don't think someone will step in to fill the void, you don't understand people at all. P3 is not unique, I can guarantee people will figure out the same things he might have and will share the info with others. Not totally convinced he figured things out to be honest, his attitude and way of doing things totally reminds me of the script kiddies I used to have to deal with in a former job. Just using tools/info provided by smarter people who knew the better thing to do was to let some other moron be the public front.. cause then they'd take the heat if things went bad and lines were crossed.
