Why does everyone think diamonds are the best? Sorry off topic. Lol. I'd rather have a unique piece of jewelry than a diamond. One picked for just me.

Well folks, I've been stalking/occasionally posting for the past 24/36 hours pretty much non-stop and I keep hoping I'll hear word that "Oh, RadioShack is selling now! Go, Go!" or something similar. But nothing.

So I need to step back, take a deep breath, and check back Sunday morning and see if any developments happen. Doubt anything will go on tomorrow. May check in with a local retailer or two in the DC area this afternoon BUT it's pretty obvious I need to be patient and wait.

Unfortunately all these rumors, leaks etc. just make it even worse waiting for this phone. Dying and just can't wait to get it!

Have a great weekend guys, thanks for an entertaining thread. I look forward to restraining myself and checking in less frequently than every two minutes

Good luck!

OT forum question -

How do I add my devices into the profile area on the left? I was looking last night, but I can't seem to find it...or am I just blind?

Probably ninja'd by now but it's in your quick links to add details

This is my true addiction. Fast, expensive sport coupes. My wife says I'm a car whore. The longest I have ever owned a car is 39 months. I get bored so quickly. My last car was like sex on wheels. I had a 2011 BMW 135i M Sport but I was hit by another driver and the car was totaled after having it for only 4 1/2 months.

car whore or not she loves you and is used to it by now I expect.
My philosophy is that if your bills are paid and there's $$ left then have fun. You can't bring it with you when you die

I drove a 1977 5 speed 280Z from 1989 - 1991 when another driver decided that stop signs were optional.

That even makes me sad to hear

My issue with this whole debacle is not with having to wait for the phone as it is Verizon's right to launch an item when and how they see fit. My issue, if those who have claimed to have been told this are telling the truth, is with Verizon instructing employees to inform customers that the phones have been shipped back to Verizon and there is no release date. If this is the case and the phones are still actually in the stores then Verizon is instructing employees to lie to their customers. If the reason for the delay is for no other reason than to increase and push other phones on their customers then I'm fairly confident Verizon has broken the law, here in Massachusetts at least. M.G.L.A. c. 93(A) is the consumer protection statute here in MA and prohibits unfair and deceptive trade practices. Though damages may be minimal (restocking fee and/or early termination fee) the statute does allow for treble damages which is a plus. Perhaps I will contact the AG's office and find out who is the agent for service of process for Verizon here in MA and draft a demand letter this weekend.

So why is a 16TB hard drive on newegg $7,000 when (16) 1TB hard drives would come out to about $1,900?

Density, power requirements and heat production.

glad we're throwing around some car talk to get my mind off the nexus!

I've been buying up apps during the 10 cent sale so I'll have some good stuff to play with when I finally get my Nexus. My poor OG Droid has a hard time with most of them.

I tried to buy "Jelly Defense" from the Market's website, but it says my device is incompatible. Anybody know of a way to buy it anyway? Seems kind of silly that they won't let you buy it, I might have plans to buy a compatible device later today for all they know.

Hey, NCWoodworker, I see that you're in Harrisburg. I live right outside of Harrisburg, in the Concord "city limits" (cow pasture).

So i went into radioshacks, verizon stores and best buys today in manhattan and was getting stonewalled by all of them except one store i finally had a breakthrough (not in manhattan). It was at a radioshack, and they only had one in stock. I tried my best to trick the guy to sell it to me then, but after 20 mins of him going through his computer trying to find a sell permission and calling a supervisor he said it wouldn't be available until this sunday. He let me hold and touch the phone. It was straight out of the box so it wasnt powered up. It felt amazing in the hand though. Anyway he let me reserve it for this sunday and he wrote my name and number on the box to make it official. I made him double check twice that it would be available this sunday, and i called 3 hours after i left to check again. he said I could definitely pick it up at 930am sunday morning. Fingers are crossed that this is not a cruel trick!

Ok I called five radio shacks today and a non corporate store. Of the three that had stock, two radio shacks said they could sell them on sunday the 11th! The other said call back in an hour. Wtf!? Im gonna freak out if I can get one on sunday!! Why does it seem like verizon is saying 15th and radio shack and some best buys are saying sunday?

Because they're wrong...as usual?

Agreed. My wife loves Tanzanite, so I got her the best one I could find for her engagement ring. She's got diamond earrings for one anniversary, but not her favorite things.

Very nice.

So if it doesn't release next week will it release the week of Christmas or would they skip to the week following?

Steven58 · Dec 9, 2011

So I figure what the heck. I going to the RadioShack store. I told the guy I want to upgrade my phone.

Long story short? The guy tells me the nexus just arrived in the present shipment. He tells me he wants to sell me the phone right now.

Fine I figured. Let's give this a try. Well the nexus shipment is not there. Funny that the iPhone was though!

The guy still didn't know the phone was delayed! I have to confess, my heart did Skip just a little wee bit of a beat for a second.

Now I'm stuck in traffic on my way to get back to work. Oh well God's judgment on me I guess.

same reason why a ferrari with 600HP is not the same as 4 Toyota's with 150HP.

Can't tell if you're joking haha but:
ehhhh, no offense, but that analogy doesn't really work, those 16 1TB drives could be WAY faster than that 1 16TB drive if setup properly in a raid. The reason it costs so much is because you're only using 1 drive bay and it's "easier" to manage. I wouldn't want to deal with a drive failure with a hard drive that huge though, that scares the living crap out of me

crackers8199 · Dec 9, 2011

random thought for those of us who have a 12/29 upgrade date and (like me so far, unfortunately) haven't been able to get their upgrade date moved up...

buying the phone at full retail doesn't affect your upgrade date, right? so, if it really IS the 15th - what would stop us from buying the thing on launch day at full retail, and then return/rebuy on the 29th to get the upgrade price? would verizon allow that?

ItsASamsung · Dec 9, 2011

So guys what's the latest since last night? Anyone buy anything? 15th is for certain now, no earlier?
