240z is where its at. True and pure sports car. No bells and whistles.

Nice Car...I hate not buying american...but I'm on My Second Subaru WRX...
2009 WRX Premium...W/Catback Exhaust and minor mods chimes in at 310HP , and I still get me 29mpg (they were way off n MPG on both cars 4-5 low)...Drive By Wire, All wheel Differential, And ICE PIKE tires makes Wisconsin Winter Driving Fun...43 Isn't OLD

I know the Razr is thinner, but this phone felt almost thinner due to the fact it wasn't so wide and long as the razr.

This. It was by far the easiest to hold out of it and the two Rs. The RAZR was last, awkward feeling. The rezound felt pretty close to my thunderbolt, but not as heavy.

I apologise for not being around too much today. We are trying to get all of our holiday shopping done today.

We do have some wonder insights from Secret Santa for all the good little Nexaholics in Android land. Hope this answers some questions for some of you.

I had some concerns about the screen. Frankly, the screen is the selling point of any smartphone for me.

I was conerned about the tendency AMOLED has to impart a teal tone to the whites. This one is pretty good up to about 30

I find it very weird that I'm not jealous of the person who snagged a Nexus.

This is troubling.

I have a MS3, and see the same thing, I get 29-30, 4-5 higher than what was advertised. Of course, that is driving nice... Your's a hatch or sedan?

Has any of the almost got it peeps been someone trying to buy full retail? I would think that would go off without a hitch at any place unlike bestbuy where they have the retail price and product in their system. Not sure how many places would have that though and some like Costco won't sell full retail.

 

[RazorSharp]

Can someone show me any evidence to suggest the 12/15 target date? I saw an email earlier but it looked a bit shady...

Not doubting (yes I am), but I was curious if I missed the memo

Yes Folks, December 15 is Verizon’s New Target for the Galaxy Nexus – Droid Life: A Droid Community Blog

It is so good isn't it! Could not find good Mexican in NJ (I've been to Howell a couple times for extended stays brother sand sister in-laws), but oh my the Italian was killer

not really authentic Mexican, but the next time you are up, you should have them take you to Surf Taco in Jackson (only about 20 minutes) great coastal/beach vibe! SurfTaco

I have a bookmark for this forum synced at work and at home in Chrome. The title that flashes in the address bar every time?

BAM! slap in the face.
BAM! slap in the face.
BAM! BAM! every time, I check in, a slap in the face.

stupid Verizon. They need some competition, BAD. This launch is what happens when the only (developed) LTE provider in the US gets exclusivity from Google. Bad news, from start to finish.

were they told about the software bug as well? sorry i didn't have a chance to read their posts.

 

[firecracker]

Question for everyone... how does Radio Shack, Costco, Premium Resellers, Best Buy, etc. handle grandfathered unlimited data? I've always been leery which is why I never considered getting one anywhere other than a corporate VZW. Thoughts?

 

[rooktdphi]

Don't know. Probably just the place in town. I'm playing chauffeur tonight for mom and my aunt (she is visiting) and they'll be at the house eating when I get home. I wish it was Pizza Town or Kinchley's though

KINCHLEY'S!!!!! I went to Ramapo (and my family used to live up in Mahwah) God I miss their pizza

 

[nyg010]

Also check out Jalapeno's Grille in Glen Rock (little further), but really good!

Still feel that way now?

Actually I am happy for them. I wish VZW wasn't so serious about a few getting out, so they didn't have to hide.

But Secret Santa, thanks for sharing! And thanks for being a messenger OTD, how does it feel to have everyone waiting for you to relay stuff? Steven and Han were getting all the attention

P.S. is husband cable supposed to be power cable?

 

[RazorSharp]

Finally! Time to go home!

I seriously wish we could just buy our phones directly from the manufacturer and use it on the network of our choice. I understand that the costs would be higher for the devices, but our monthly bills could also be lower because the cell phone companies aren't having to subsidize them.

The way it is done now makes about as much sense as telling someone they have to buy their television through their cable/satellite provider.

I think it's a case where it's probably more painful to get one and have to return it, then to just know you aren't getting one.

 

[nyg010]

For all you who have held a demo unit. How is it possible that the phones so light but feels so well built and solid? This is one of my major concerns- I couldn't stand how light and cheap the samsung charge felt. I'm 6'3'' 220- I need a little bit of weight in my hands for something to feel well built .

There is no way possible that was the reason for the delay. If that bug slipped all the way till now without being addressed and fixed, then someone at google/android got fired.

 

[jbdan]

There is this delicious, hard to find, really rare mexican place here in Jersey- you should really try it out if your ever out here again.

Spoiler

They call it Taco Bell

Right on !

Hatch...They didn't make the Premium in Sedan...It actually takes weight off the back for cornering...I Live mostly in Far Northern Wisconsin...Heated mirrors, Heated Wipers, and Heated seats are something I couldn't pass up on
