Happy belated birthday Ryan. Happy Birthday Halon and Razor. Happy Anniversary dread. I've really only been peeking in from time to time the last week, looks like it was a busy one here.

Thanks, Pup. Looks like you missed all the forum problems. Seems to be all good now.
Yeah, I suppose the CPU really don't matter, its just that the phone is basically out dated when we get it. I am not even sure the dual core chips are being fully utilized yet, let alone quad core. Sure the extra ram in the S3 is a bonus.
I just wish there was some kind of standard, but with GSM being the biggest network, us big red users are stuck with what they give us.
BTW, while I was in the AT&T store playing with the note, I ran a speed test on my nexus and hit 31.71 MBPS. Yes. With an M. Not KBPS. Talk about ironic.
BTW2. Yes. There is now a Galaxy Note in the house....
Double Hit today.

Get anything good (that you can discuss in public)?
Ok, so my tapatalk won't load at all today, so I do a speedtest... 19 kbps. Really?! This is apparently on 3G too. I really wish my phone got 4G at my desk
That sounds sucky. From inside my apartment (and also I get strong 4G in the BASEMENT of my work in DC):
Also, are you close enough to Atlanta to meet up with BB?
Edit: Sorry for the massive pic.
Good luck, Lucky! My wife's Bionic needs some work itself. PM'd a Guide who helps in that area as I think I'm just going to unroot it and let her take the OTAs. She doesn't care about the ROM, just wants it to work.
BTW, there wasn't a chance you could hold out for the SGS3?
My quad core Prime doesn't seem to be any faster than my Nexus, so I'm not overly concerned with quad core.
Well, I'm not sure why or the exact details, but VZW is supposedly "unlocking" various devices to be used overseas (can't jump on T-Mo or AT&T I imagine). Haven't heard if the Nexus will make it, but I doubt it. Congrats on the Note, but I wonder if the store had some way to "enhance" their network to run faster than normal there.
I did read that the razr, droid4 and I think another device was going to get a software update to make them "world phones" which does mean, I believe, that one could buy the razr and use it on a GSM network.
Morning everyone! Celebrating our 1 year anniversary today. Unfortunately we're both working so no actual celebrating. (basically the story of our lives)
We'll do something fun this weekend though.
Thanks. The lady should be pleasantly surprised. We generally don't surprise eachother with any gifts (yeah, we're boring like that ) but I put her card in her purse to take to work, have flowers being sent to her work and got her a nice gift certificate to a spa to get a massage (which she desperately needs). Should make her day!
I ended the day by confirming travel plans....anyone want to know where?
Ok, I am going to tell you even if you didn't care - I'm headed to Kansas in 24 days to see DSB!!!!!! I'm so excited!!!
Double Hit today.

If Verizon hadn't trapped us with losing unlimited data if we upgrade, I would probably be letting one of my kids use our 7/1 available upgrade to get one.So, what does everyone think about the drop of our beloved GNex to $149 on VZW? My first reaction, was, wow, already? But then I realized, the VZW GNex has been out for over 6 months! And yet is still arguably the best phone on VZW (until the GS3 ships, that is).
We are the same way - we don't give gifts to each other for birthdays/holidays/anniversaries, but now and then, we'll just surprise each other with something nice. If both people agree to the "no gifts" policy, it really takes a lot of stress out of holidays, saves some money, and makes those "surprises" even more special. Happy Anniversary...and many more to come!
Sweet!!!
Happy Birthday, Halon and Razorsharp!

Truth of the day...it's hard to turn down Krispy Kreme doughnuts being sold by the local high school cheerleaders at the intersection coming in to work at 6:30 AM.
