The Official DF Galaxy Nexus Pre-Release Thread

[prowler85]

I'll go with optimistic realist then. In no way am I naive. I honestly believe we make our own luck, and a positive attitude is first and foremost in achieving anything.

Fortuna favet fortibus

is that similar to vos fraba or goose fraba or GROOZ FRABA or whatever??

I think you mean goosfraba (from Anger Management)? And.......no.

Technically it means "Fortune favors the strong" (or brave or prepared depending on translation).

USNA Class of 85 class motto.....along with Marine 8th regiment. Ooh-Rah!

But if you feel the anger advancing, go with goosfraba.

I'm going to bump all this optimism/pessimism talk and over to the off-topic thread.... stand by for some swoosh

Oopsies. I think I started that wave of off-topicness. That's why I need to stay over here. :blush:

A few tweets I found:

These are from @vzdubtk. It looks like he works a VZW store.
Nexus update pushing out
@P3Droid @britishturbo it means the launch should be soon
@britishturbo @P3Droid 4.02

It has to be tomorrow. There pushing out the update to retail phones so what else can they delay it for. This was the update delaying the phone.

Well, I have to go out bright and early tomorrow, to program a cash register for an old boss. I may have to stop by a Verizon store or four on my way and see if they have the Nexus. Worst comes to worst, maybe I can get to play with one. Unfortunately, even if it's out, I'll have to wait until later in the evening to buy it. The wife is the primary account holder and is due for an upgrade too. She is pretty convinced on the Nexus, but wants to play with it before she buys it.

I say expect another delay and be suprised if it does release.

it wasn't really off topic though because we kept it about the Nexus, but the threads will be merged eventually anyway to create one super thread of awesome and optimism and pessimism and lame jokes and good jokes and emoticons and tv show talk and other jazz

That's why I like this off-topic thread.. I can start talking about my first car (a beat up 1998 honda accord), and wouldn't have to think twice about it.

And yayyy, keep me company.:heart:

It is posts like this that I wish I a bit more context. Something like "From what I've been hearing..." or "I just have a feeling..." or "with not factual bases to back it up..." or "From talking to a friend who works for VZW..."

 

[dtdlurch]

Geez, people, stop distracting me!!!! I can't stop refreshing this forum.

For shizzle, I'm leaving and going to do some work. Be back in....2 minutes. Not really. More like 4. Kidding! But seriously....


Oh and, do I get anything special for reaching 200 posts? :biggrin: This is a new milestone for me and only achieved here at DroidForums.Net.

My main goal is to keep those that "just want updates and facts about the G-Nex" happy as they were the most vocal to staff about how off topic we tended to get... I figured that if it's in a gray area for me, it will get moved over here as we are much more laid back on this side

nice, mine was a 96 chevy cavalier. Had her from senior year of high school (2001) until 2004 when she cheated on me and blew a head gasket.
