Been away for a few and missed 6 plus pages!
Well I was clearly incorrect on my release date pick. My bad, I will never trust my sources again. Oh wait, I have no sources.
I was thinking about how we are upset with Verizon not giving a release date. But in the past we've been upset when they miss a release date. Perhaps Verizon is working off of their own learning curve? Quite possibly they decided on this phone to take things slow, due to it being the first of its kind(in certain manners). This way only we are waiting for it while the general public is unawares and will purchase what's currently available. They know we will be getting the phone so by not putting out a release date for public consumption, they don't worry about looking bad if that date is not met. Reliability is important if you are looking to buy a phone from a different provider than you've used in the past.
Question:
What would be your preference
A) Verizon put out a release date and it passed without the phone being released, and only rumors as to the reasons are reported but nothing concrete and no new date announced
B) same as above except it is released on said date but the phone has more bugs than the classic scene in Indiana Jones and The Temple of Doom, with Short Round and the blonde
Or
C) Verizon doesn't give a release date until the week before it will be released, and we all get it and it is running like a champ
Of course there are tons of variations of this, but I think in the end we would all agree we want to get the phone, but we want to get it when all the major hiccups are addressed.
Unfortunately or not, I am heading to Verizon to pick up a RAZR as I have just lost the touchscreen and soft key abilities on the left quarter of my OG which is the back button and the vertical strip above. This is the 2nd quarter of the screen to crap out for me, so now my entire left half of the screen is AWOL and the phone is going back to operating as if a ghost was battling me for control. Seems to stop happening when the strip of screen dies completely as was the case after the first slice of screen fully kicked the bucket. But this battlestation is clearly not fully operational regardless of what the emperor has to say.
Truss looks like it has come to me getting the fix it kit as you recommended.
And I checked on everything and even if after January whatever the Nexus is still on hold, I can return the RAZR and only pay restock fee. Switch phone service back to repaired OG and have upgrade returned to me and wait for the Nexus. Though if it is not out by then, I imagine there will be some pretty decent options on the horizon.
Wish me luck. And if anyone on this thread has a RAZR and has rooted etc. Please let me know as I have a few questions before I decide if I even want to root it or choose to have a bit of a life before I give it all up upon my wedding day with The G! I have been saving myself for marriage.
