Does Time Magazine say that it is the #2 US gadget? Time is a GLOBAL magazine, and the phone HAS been released elsewhere. No need for them to revise that to 2012!
That was supposed to be sarcastic and a play on the fact that the phone isnt out yet in the US and it's almost 2012. Sorry if It came across any other way.
Actually, YOUR INTERPRETATION of their silence is that you are being fed **bleep**. Why don't you just alter your interpretation in to a better translation. Do you think theY DON'T want it to be the best possible phone? What would be the reasoning in that?
Agreed that it is my interpretation of their silence. I did not send my message stating that it was gospel and matter of fact. All of this came from my frustration with their silence. And If they want it to be the best possible phone and want to put their best foot forward on the phone then where is the marketing and where is the same hoopla that preceded their other phones? Especially if any of this other information is correct about the 15th. Are they going to wait to market and announce the release of the phone on the 14th? what kind of marketing plan is that?
You say that you want information and that you will be happy. What if they gave you information that you want to hear such as your requested "Hey..we are working to make sure the phone is going to be the best possible phone when it's released and in order to do that we need to do XYZ. Once we have done that we will update you with further information", and come up with the date to be after Jan 15th? That should make you happy, right, since you have gotten more information as you requested, or will you still complain since they didn't give you the date you wanted to hear? It seems to me that the Nexus WILL be ready before Jan 15th and Verizon IS supplying you with a LOANER PHONE due to their extended holiday return policy. It amazes me that people just like to complain. They are going to complain anyway, so why should Verizon do anything differently?
If they gave me the information that the phone wasnt being released till after Jan 15h I would not be happy about the release date of the phone but I *WOULD* have some course of action to take knowing that. I would not have to sit around with the droid razr in my possession and hope that the phone comes out before the 15th so I am not "stuck" with a phone I never really intended to have. I will also say that this "LOANER PHONE" verizon is supplying me because they can't seem to get their act together is going to cost me $35 when I hopefully exchange it for the phone I should have originally had back when my OG droid failed.
When it comes down to it all I am saying is that all of this would NOT be an issue if Verizon showed some transparency into what's going on with the phone. All it takes is a well crafted statement from them concerning whats going on and most of the people who are complaining (atleast about lack of information) won't have anything to complain about anymore.
>> it goes Down.
