Soft. I've been up for a NE2 since LAST AUGUST! As in....a year and a half. Man up and wait it out.
I had gotten the sense that the guy at RS wasn't being smug or mean, I really think he just didn't know. Perhaps didn't care either, but really seemed like he didn't know.
I know, just a bit of good natured ribbing for the forum's resident teenagerI don't think Scott is "thanks fishing", I think he is genuinely excited about this release and thought it added to the evidence pointing to the 15th. I can't blame him for that.
Just like the 9th was looking like it, with people getting calls/appointments/etc, right? Just sayin'...we know nothing for sure until we hear it from VZW.
Ugh, well that call to *611 couldn't have gone worse.
First, I asked about the 3G to 4G upgrade discount, and, after telling me that yes, I can upgrade my phone from 3G to 4G (obviously I can), then told me that she saw the $100 discount - and wasn't running anymore.
When she asked if I had any more questions, I said I did, but wouldn't bother her with the same questions about the Nexus that she had probably been asked about 20 times already today. She said that actually she hadn't been asked about it (I guess we haven't completely penetrated the depths of Verizon Customer Service...giggity) and that she hadn't seen it or know about it (really?). She then said hang on a second, and I got my hopes up that I would finally have information first hand to believe in. She then came back on and said that her colleague heard her mention the Nexus, and that it wouldn't be available until the first of the year, at least on Verizon. At that point I was dumbfounded, and dehydrated from all the salt, and after saying I hoped she was wrong, hung up. She went through her pitch of signing up for updates, of which there are none of course, so it looks like not everyone is on the same page within Verizon - or some just don't care and are telling us when it is out while others stick to the company line. Anyone else get someone who says it isn't coming? Or am I the only lucky one?

Good Idea!!!!So what are we going to do tomorrow night to celebrate Nexmas Eve?
OT (TV)
Dexter:
I can't wait for the season finale! I think something MAJOR is going to go down between Deb and Dexter. Now what that is, who knows! But it's definitely going to weird-gross territory, no?
So I just got back from local VZW Corportate store, talked to same one as I bought case from.
He told me it is not releasing this week. He said there is still a GAG order out and that it would be removed well before 2 days prior.
He said that they had the RAZR was on the shelves a week prior to being releases and the Rezound was on the shelves 3 days prior. They even had the XYBoard on the shelf 3 days prior with no GAG order on any of them.
Since there is still a gag order he thinks there is something corporate is holding onto it for.
He did say if it released this week, he would buy me the phone.... Thats how confident he was.
OT: Once Upon a Time
Possible spoiler alert:
Ooooh!! Duh!!
Graham will come back to life. Remember when he gave the reed whistle to Snow and told her to blow it if she ever needed help? Well, I'm sure she has it somewhere, since she has the ring that Charming gave her.
Once she toots, he will return!

OT:
My dad had prostate/bladder/ureter cancer back in April, had it all surgically removed, and he was taking blood tests every month to see if the cancer came back. It all came back negative, and they said he was cancer free.
Recently, he was hospitalized again for back pais and they found bone cancer in his hip/sternum/lumbar. The pathology report said it was the same bladder cancer he had before. Now he's doing radiation therapy to be followed up with chemo.
