Well gang... I am sleep deprived from waiting for this phone and "hanging out with you fine folks", so, I am off to bed. To make matters worse, I am beyond slammed at work, so, I don't know if I'll make it on in the morning or not.
My plan is to use my lunch break to sneak out to a verizon store and see if they have the phone, will do my corp discount (or waive activation fee), and get my hands on my sexy nexi by 1:00 p.m. If that's a no-go, I'll be ordering online as soon as I return to the office from said store visit.
So, with all of that said, there is a 73% chance that I will not make it back before the lock-down. I wanted to say thanks to everyone who has answered questions, made me laugh, shared in the anger and let downs, and rejoiced when the date was announced... And then November 17th came and went, and we did it all again... and again... and again.
I have enjoyed the OT football, dexter, car, and puppy discussions. As I am new to android, I am certain that you will all be helping me along the way. I'll be watching closely tomorrow as people report about unlocking the bootloader in their new toy, pondering whether I should dip my toe in that water or not.
I was there when the iPhone launched. It was a great day for smart-phones in general. Even then though, while I was paying astronomical apple taxes, I didn't know what the phone would mean to me. I didn't know how big of a part of life a smart phone would be. I'm addicted to my phone... and I don't make many calls.
With that said, I am very happy to have found other addicts. People who crave technology, want to be at the forefront for new things, and don't mind slipping their phone into a zip-lock bag and sharing a bubble bath with the one you love (wait...err... I've said too much)... right... so... umm... well, this is embarrassing.
Sleep well tonight Nexans. Because tomorrow... We take over the WORLD.
(then on Friday, I have to start shopping for OTHER people, apparently there is another holiday coming up not too far behind Nexmas... ugh... it's always something.)
Goodnight and farewell pre-releasers (maybe...I might be back... but less wordy)
