The Official DF Galaxy Nexus Pre-Release Thread

[prowler85]

So I just got back from class, where we had to do our final presentation on a website we built using Dreamweaver and Flash. These two guys in my class did a fifteen minute presentation on the site they built for the iPhone. Instead of talking about how they built the site, they spent the entire time talking about the iPhone 4s, and Siri, ios5 and they literally spent 2 minutes talking about how innovative the notification menu is. You know the one that you drag down and lists your emails and texts message, that you can click on and it opens the app for you. Boy i wish Android was that innovative....:blink:

/rant
start drinking

:blink: Why would they design a site for the iPhone that uses flash? :blink:

I am just saying that until VZ makes it official, all these leaks dont hold any water

They help, but don't get your hopes up.

Yeah I was just throwing that out there to validate your statement. I failed to explain myself lol.

By the way I just noticed your sig, it made me chuckle a little bit

Me too....slamming them over the "innovative" notification bar is one thing, but when you ask that question and the prof goes :blink:

You win.

The prof looked almost as bored and amused as I did while they were talking. I think she is an Android phone. She has made some offhand negative comments aimed at the iPhone.

If it doesn't get released on the 15th, keyword if, then Verizon is getting the pressed ham right on their store window.

More favorable things have happened this time before the release. Like the guy calling me out of the blue telling me my phone will be available on the 15th. He didn't call before the 9th. I also asked him to confirm with his boss before I burn two ultra valuable vacation days and his boss confirmed shipment is ready for release on the 15th. The VZW employee just got his so that means the legal crap is out of the way. Stores are stocked and ready. It's gonna happen!

Read an interesting post on reddit last night and figured I would post it on here next time apple came up just because I thought it was funny and made me think about the other half of the common "How do you know if someone has an iphone?" joke:

I work security at the front desk of a rather large college. I've gotten to know a lot of the students quite well.
Last night one of them came to chat for a bit because she was bored of studying (finals are this week). She said something along the lines of "One of my friends just told me I should trade in my iPhone for and Android. Who uses Android?" I responded that Android has about 45% market share right now, while in comparison the iPhone has about 27%. She responded that she didn't know a single person with an Android phone. I whip out my DHD with Cyanogenmod 7 on it and say, "sure you do" and hand it to her to let her play with it.
Just then one of my co-workers came to the desk and I said "He's got one too". She was floored. She's known me for about 2 years, and him for about 7 months and had no clue we had Android phones.
She plays with my phone for about 10 minutes before saying "You're not getting this back" and keeps playing. Another 5 or so later she repeats that statement. She criticized some of my video game choices, but figured out how to use the phone very quickly and without instruction. She loved her experience while snooping through my programs.
She did eventually give me back my phone and then said she'd see me later and left. She seemed a little humbled by the whole experience.
I didn't bash Apple. I didn't praise Android. I didn't give any instruction. I didn't need or want to.
I don't know if she'll get an Android or not, and I don't care. I just provided a means for her to get a little bit of hands on experience so she could make her own choices.
Quite frankly, I came away a bit humbled as well. Android is always touted as being hard to learn, for geeks only, ect. I am a geek, and while I found it easy to learn, I didn't expect non-geeks to have the same great experience.

And the other side of the joke I was referring to: How do you know if someone has an android? They are decent enough to keep it to themselves until someone asks.

I believe it is time also. I know everyone one is ready for a let down and I completely understand , but you know I'm taking the high road and the half full glass. I 100% believe it will and you know what i've been mad about it not and if doesn't you know so what . I've been let down enough to not care anymore. The only reason it bothers me because my OG is almost done for, but whatever to the nay sayer . I can't wait to get mine Thursday. And i'm sure people are going to blast me for this but i don't care. And if it doesn't someone will say I told you so. Well i'm sorry that this phone is your life and thats all you have to look forward to.
