'Twas the night before Nexmas, when all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse;
The Nexicans were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of Ice Cream Sandwich danced in their heads...
Night everyone! Tomorrow's going to be a great day.
Hey question about LetsTalk.... I don't see double data on there. When I went to add the rezound to do a test run it only gave me the option of 2GB for $30 or 4GB w/ MHS for $50
Can you not do double data on LetsTalk? I ask primarily because I'm trying to make excuses for myself for going to the store tomorrow to get it immediately. Double data is a necessity, so if I can't get it from them I HAVE to go to the store.
Snarky is definitely a word. Further it describes most tech forums excluding this one. You zero'd in on what makes this place special. Thanks for being part of it!
I'll drink to that *raises glass of Yuengling Premium lager in return*
Sounds about right!
*Dr Evil laugh*
Thank you Scott, for the painstaking (and accurate) retelling of what has happened here over the last few months. More importantly, thanks for never losing your Scoptimism, even when we did!Ok well here's my farewell post; will continue posting until the final moment I am able to before Steven closes this thread, but... here it goes:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, it looks like this is it. We've come this far and we've finally reached our destination after months and months of waiting, speculating, and discussing. Rumors flew this way and that, the occasional flame war was shot down by Steven's frequent PSAs, but nonetheless it has been an interesting ride. Now that I look back on this, I'm so honored to have participated in such a sophisticated thread with such sophisticated people. Being one of the only true technology nerds in my school, I don't really have anyone to talk to about this kind of stuff, but you guys are so understanding! Never before have I felt so connected to random people on the internet through a common interest.
So, now that all is said and done, I'd just like to thank the moderators who took part in making this thread civil (for the most part), well-rounded, and well-mannered. EarlyMon took care of most of the argument-cleaning and infractions, while Steven58 warned us to keep things under control underneath his ever-recurring lines and to "try not to kill each other" night after night. Of course, Rob and Phases made the occasional entrance (although I barely remember it) as well.
But I also need to thank those non-moderators who have played just as important of a role in keeping the thread fun and informative; to BabyBlue for her nightly avatars and cracking jokes to keep us entertained, and to others who fueled a mostly unintrusive and tangential OT discussion, thank you. To any of those who shared any sort of confirmation of information from reps, including first time posters, Han's sister, and Steven's source, thank you. This thread simply would not have been what it was if it weren't for the collaborative culmination of all these independent sources of information.
Lastly, (and this may come as a shocker to a lot of you), I think Google, Samsung, and even Verizon deserve a round of applause. I've never seen anywhere near this much hype for a phone (not even for iPhones) and it truly is a feat of engineering and software development to make such a glorious device that we've been lusting over for oh so long. Throughout the course of our journey, we've gotten upset, even downright infuriated with Verizon for botching the release of this flagship Android beast, but in the end we have to give props to them for bringing us the best smartphone on the market on the best network in the U.S. I'm sure we'll all forget about ever being mad at Verizon once we finally have the phones in our hands
So, all that said, I conclude this post with one universal "thanks" to all involved in the thread. It's been such a fun ride and I could never stand being away from the thread for any significant amount of time, knowing it would be buzzing away and zooming along. But now that it's all over, I'll definitely feel a void in my daily routine
This is farewell, but not goodbye! I hope to continue our obsession in the sub-forum.

Cincy, this thread seems to have special powers, thats all I got. It was the will of the thread that pushed you to the G-Nex!!
Awesome, LOLOLOLO!!!!
G'night! And see you in the next thread!
I love my new Nexus family too, and you are a part of it!
We appreciate your inciteful posts! Thanks for contributing!
Yay!! I should totally do that too.Ok. Seriously, starting to get really excited now! Just watched my first unboxing, I'd been holding out till now. So excited!
Even though I'm going to miss you all so much - Everyone who has PM'd be lately with all the puppy support will be getting info to add me to G+ circles for sure
Edit: Oh and if anyone else would like to add me on G+ just send me a PM
Wow, I can't even begin to imagine how that must feel. I've only been here since November. (Though, I have been anticipating info on the phone since around May).... Its been fun reading your contributions!
Happy Holidays to you too!Well, I guess it is that time. Everyone else is sending out their well wishes so I better do the same. After all, in just a few hours I'll probably be so occupied between work and my shiny new phone, that I wont be able to give you all a proper thank you. So THANK YOU! and CONGRATULATIONS EVERYONE!
This really has been the most friendly, informative and overall good-times thread I have ever been a part of. Even at those times when we all were at our lowest, we enjoyed ourselves. And with the help of our fantastic Mods and Guides we showed how even in the most tense of times in forums likes these, the interwebs can be a genuine place to gather in a community that respects each other in a responsible way.
I really do hope to see many of you floating around the other SGN threads. If you really think about it, though this part of the journey is over, we're really only getting started
Again best wishes, happy holidays, and thank you for this very new and very fond memory.
Sincerely,
Tyler
I was almost there myself, jumped from a voyager to a Droid one (purchased from ebay). This was when the incredible HD was going to come out last year and I didn't want to use my upgrade...lol. I still have that upgrade and thankfully, tomorrow, it will be applied to the G-Nex!!Been a great ride everyone! For over a month straight this would be the site I came to for all of my updates on the Galaxy Nexus.
Today marks the last day I will us my LG eNVY Touch and jump onto the ship of smartphone with the GN! I look forward to staying with this site as everyone seems very knowledgeable.
I hope everyone enjoys their new phone tomorrow!
Being the rough and tumble captain you are, we expect nothing less!
You, too!
Ha ha, he he!!
BlueBiker, you are truly, the other BB, a real stand up character and fun and inciteful too!Congratulations Nexicans!
Wow it feels weird tonight. After many months of traveling this journey with y'all, speculating, comparing, joking around, bickering, googling, wikipediaing, youtubing, bragging, teasing, getting teased... this is... The End?!
What's weirder for me is that after the whole Bionic -> SGS2 -> Function -> Stratosphere -> Prime -> Nexus quest, I ended up bailing at the last minute for an irresistible (for me) Black Friday deal on another phone. How anti-climactic was that?
THANK YOU to the mods, who've really done a bang-up job here keeping us more or less on track with good humor. Steven, you deserve all of the accolades, just stop apologizing when it's really someone else being the jerk.
I'm actually really happy w/my fast-running Rezound with its sharp-as-hell screen, and I've had fun making it jump through some hoops already. And yet... ah that Nexus and its bloat-free ICS and promises of intriguing NFC possibilities to come. Good luck folks, you are going to love love love your new phones!
Looking forward to reading the happy new owner reviews, and I'll catch you here in the forums. It's almost midnight here on the east coast: For those ordering online, get out your credit cards now!
- BlueBiker
PS: When Rezound finally gets ICS, it'll be the better phone for sure.
Longest multi-quote ever? I think so
Sorry BabyBlues. XD
12:30PM!!!Just wanted to thank the mods and everyone else for keeping this thread respectful and clean. It made the whole experience of waiting much less agonizing and at times easier to endure Verizon's frustrating releases. To finally see a Nexus on Verizon is awesome and I can't wait to finally have it in my hands. Now I can finally be productive at work.
Through all the ups and downs, it was certainly an experience best shared with good company.
Hope you all enjoy your Nexi, I certainly will.
Just a little over an hour to go.
Keep it cool! 
See ya in a few, Good Steven!Friends,
This will be my final good night post, where I tuck everyone in before bedtime. Wow. Sad. Sad and happy.
What a ride, huh? I'll see you in the morning. Tonight I don't stay up late, so I can get to the store first things. So.. gnite!!
and.....
TRY NOT TO KILL EACH OTHER!!!!!!
