So, how do these numbers (2d/3d, cpu, etc) compare to other current devices?

Ok, quick google.

Razr: 6042
Rezound: 4996 - 5532
Motorola Droid RAZR vs HTC Rezound - Benchmark Tests (video)

I realize benchmarks aren't golden, and am not familier with AnTuTu, but it is nice to get some kind of comparison.

Wouldn't mind to hear some of the doods who work with this stuff comment (cough EarlyMon/BlueBiker/02Vette cough)

Please tell me you're going someone other than I am Thursday... I don't want them to sell out before I get mine!

I know someone asked about "SDCard" (internal storage) read/write speeds on the device.

I see they spared expense when it came to the memory they used, that or I'm just spoiled by my SSD...

Is there any way I can get Verizon to give me Unlimited Data with a new contract if I tell them that I currently have Unlimited Data with AT&T?

No idea. Anybody know?

Just called my local store and the guy I spoke with said the 15th as well...

ALSO, those that said the 4Gb "Double Data" promo was only good for 2 years are wrong. It's there forever.

That's good to know...let's hope the Gnex comes out before the offer ends December 31st.

No, I don't think they have any way to give you unlimited data. Pretty positive they just have choices "Keep data plan" or they can pick from the ones currently offered. You can get 4GB for the price 2 right now though as far as I know.

I have never gone over 4GB of data even in my heaviest traveling/tethering/phone usage in the past 20 months with my Dinc. In fact I've only cracked 3GB once and I was on vacation for two weeks and used my Dinc 100% without wifi. With wifi readily available in our homes, work places, many restaurants and malls, if you are aware of it, 4GB should be enough. I would say jump all over the 4GB for 2GB and know that sometime next year family data is coming and if you don't like it you can jump on shared data. Hope that helps.

Oh BTW with the ability of the Gnex to limit/shut off data it should be easily managed.

I cannot wait for this. Seriously. This should be just as great as the last two.

I avoid any/all narcotic drugs. I turned down vicodin when I got a MRSA infection. I hurt my back recently, and I know Aleve works wonders, but I still won't take it. Our bodies are equipped with everything they need to heal. I want to grow old and not need 17 prescriptions to function. That's why I treat my body the way I do. Clean foods, lots of exercise and mental stimulation. Barring any freak accidents or genetic quirk, I should be good to go for a long time. (I hope)

I would just like to caveat that with everyone has their experiences and in some cases pain is not an option. I had a pinched sciatic nerve from an old muscle injury that pretty much made it impossible to sleep, sit, stand, run, or walk.. I have been busted up a few times in life but not every pain is one you can tough it through.

Spoilers:

Well, in Batman: Knightfall, Bane is the one who breaks Batman's back and basically forces him into retirement. They could be planning to incorporate some elements from that story arc into the movie.

I almost posted the same thing but figured I would be ninja'd lol... I can't wait for the movie. It looks sick and i kinda hope they follow the story and kill him off so there won't be anymore of them... I don't want this series to become like it was when Batman forever came out lol

Not trying to be argumentative, so sorry in advance.

Anything can be addictive, even cough drops. I think most of us are addicted to Nexus news...
What makes caffeine better or worse than another drug like cocaine? Is it a legal issue?
I've given up drugs before (caffeine, nicotine, alcohol, . . .), at the time I was a heavy smoker & drinker, and though I don't really smoke or drink much now I think the best approach is moderation. Blanket statements like "One shouldn't take drugs" leave out things like prescription medicine. I no longer drink or smoke much, but I take drugs every single day as prescribed by my doctor.

Just my OT $0.02

Edited to hide OT...

[Hide]if you need them to live, then by all means. But my goal is to live without them by taking care of my body now. Im of the belief that many cancers are 100% preventable, as well as type 2 diabetes, heart disease...to name a couple! You can be prescribed vicodin, does that mean that you WILL be addicted? Not at all. But im better safe than sorry. I've seen first hand what addiction does.[/spoiler]

cwazpitt3 · Dec 13, 2011

Just got a call back from a reseller I had reached out to who originally told me his system said the 21st. He said he is ordering me one for Friday (perhaps a day later than the Verizon release??). Anyhow, said he could bump my NE2 in store and will hold one for me, so looks like all systems go for me. w00t!

Take this FWIW (doesn't seem like much NaCl to me, but):

Manager of a store says he got an email go-ahead to sell this Thursday. He seems pretty jet-set about it too.

Drug free, free of things that cause addiction. Advil and cough drops aren't exactly in that list...narcotics on the other hand... Caffeine is iffy - but still infinitely better than cocaine. I even avoid taking any sort of asprin/anti-inflammatories. I also rarely consume caffeine. Only when I'm literally dragging my ass will I get coffee or something.

So that somehow makes you better...i for one enjoy the occasional purple haze or death star...not talking movies...i have a beautiful wife and kids and make 200k a year (which isnt much compared to some of you guys)....i know plenty of people that are "drug free" that are way more screwed up with other mental issues....To each their own..does not make anyone better or worse for it

Yeah, definitely sounds a little too aggressive for me. I'm sure its good though. So far some of my favorite shows:
1) Breaking Bad
2) Arrested Development
3) 24 (gets boring after awhile)
4) Curb Your Enthusiasm
5) Modern Family (good time passer, no thinking is involved)

OT
Loved arrested development! I found 24 too intense LOL I can't imagine you finding Once upon a time more aggressive than 24. I hate liking a show too much, they usually get cancelled like Arrested Development, Dead like me and Pushing Daisies..

You're spoiled

It's possible that SSD's have hardware controllers that give you that extra speed boost.

With Nolan and Bale saying this is the end for them, I don't think there will be another - at least not for a while. I fully expect DC to try and focus on some other characters now. We've already got a Superman reboot being worked on (by Zach Snyder - YAY!!!), and a green light on another Green Lantern. Batman could use the break.

Wait. You like 24 and Breaking Bad, but you think Once Upon a Time is too aggressive?

I actually liked Batman Forever, it had just the right amount of comic book in it, and Jim Carrey is one of my favorite actors. However, I really was not a fan of Batman & Robin, Clooney was a terrible Dark Knight.

No problem. I didn't take offense to anything you said, and if you read my stuff again I never said someone would not be a movie buff for not watching a movie. Everyone is close minded about something.

OT:
Yeah I wasn't saying that was you, somebody ELSE said that I am not a movie buff for not seeing Star Wars. I didn't mean that it was coming from you, just other people quoting what I was saying.

OT they arent going to kill him but its def the end of the trilogy. Nolan, Oldman, and Bale all have confirmed that this is their last film together.

Han if you want to know more about it i can point you in the right direction.
