Back to work

Can't hear/read Tom Collins without thinking of Meet The Parents

I dont like store bought wine at all . I have drank homemade wine a couple times and it wasnt bad and pretty potent.Thats been a few years ago tho .

Morning folks, decided to try out the new version of Liquid but I have a feeling that I will be going back to AOKP B40 lol. Pretty snappy but I don't like the new layout of their settings menus. Would prefer the stock AOKP look for ROM control. O well, going to give it a fair shot with franco 196.

Checked my GS3 preorder this morning and it now has a ship date of 7/09/12. Not that I don't have enough to do between now and then and I am honestly considering keeping my Nexus for a little longer since I do love this device.

Checked my SGSIII order status and it's now showing that my phone is scheduled to ship on July 9. Woohoo!

Agreed and I don't even think that you could compare it to the Nexus. Really the only phones that it could be rightfully compared to are the iPhone and HTX One X. Aside from that I don't think so.

I agree. In my opinion, if you're to take an Android phone to compare to the iPhone right now it should be the One X. The build quality is top-notch, and the screen and camera seem to be equally impressive. After using many phones from each manufacturer in the last two months, my opinion of manufacturer overlays is that Sense is the only one at high enough visual polish and performance to be compared. I've seen Motoblur match the performance, and although in its latest iteration (ICS) it is much more pleasing to me than in previous years, it still isn't quite where I'd like it to be if I'm to compare it to the iPhone.

Don't get me wrong, I'm all for Android in every form -- even TouchWiz is right for some people -- but I'm a realist. The iPhone is a great smartphone, and not all current forms of Android are realistically ready to step up to bat against it. However, fall 2012 is going to be intense, and I certainly don't expect anyone to sit back and take any punches.

We have Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8/7.8, with which Microsoft is jumping into cloud services, Metro UI, mobile UX precision, and product synchronization (Win, WinPh, Xbox, etc.).
We have the next iteration of the iPhone, as well as iOS 6. Apple is going to be quickly adding additional features and functionality to their new maps service, and if they follow the guidelines that the new iPad just laid out, we may likely see significant hardware/network improvements (screen size/LTE) to the iPhone.
We have Google pushing what can only be significant polish and functionality to Android with 4.1 (we'll see tomorrow at I/O, now won't we?). I haven't seen recent news about the multiple Nexus devices rumor, but if it is indeed true (again... I/O?) it may be big news for Android in the mobile market.

Numerous nexus releases would be huge.

David, did you look into incredible 4g? Just curious
I would probably opt for these new phones in this order: one x, then s3, then incredible 3
If money and carrier were no object

Yeah I actually considered the Incredible 4g ,awhile back.I stopped into a vzw store at one of the local malls to see if they had it.If they had had it in at that time I may have purchased it.That was back in the middle of May.
If the OneX had been a vzw phone I would have ordered it,I wasnt wanting to jump carriers for it tho so passed it up.
Then starting reading about the S3 reviewing details,more I read more I liked ,When I heard about vzw upcoming policy changed that was all I needed to order it.
I was planning to upgrade before end of year anyhoo,and couldnt pass up on the S3 for what looks like my last upgrade, and my last phone purchase for at least 2 years.If I get new phones on vzw it will be retail price ,unless vzw completely ends unlimited data by then .Then I will have to rethink my options.

Very nice... Fish is one thing I have never tried to cook. Past few nights have been my usual variety of steak, pork chops and pasta/rice tho. Yum

I do that all the time... crash out around 5 or 6 then wake up around 8. I usually hit the sack around 10. Did you have "one of those days?"
