With this, I'll finish up: I'm definitely moving back to Tmobile. Apparently this morning, Verizon pulled a real dick move with user privacy: all VZW users are opted INTO a new agreement where VZW can sell your web browser history and device geolocation with marketers, and their opt-out service...

Thanks everyone, pretty quick unanimous replies, and I appreciate everyone's input. Anyone know if the unlimited data on the $45/mo plan includes 4G? I can't imagine they'd be too quick to sell a pre-paid SIM on that plan when there are other plans available? If it's pre-paid, do I have to keep...

Hey all, I left T-Mobile last December to switch to Verizon to get the Galaxy Nexus, and wow what a rollercoaster that has been with late updates, Google Wallet, bloatware, etc. Then I got the free GSM model Galaxy Nexus at Google IO. I've been a "Nexus" user since the Nexus One, and have...

Not for my Nexus S. They wouldn't replace it on the spot a few months ago, they had to send it back and I was shipped a refurbished phone, not my own phone repaired. Good thing I back up frequently. I was without my Nexus S for about 5 days.

I've debated this myself, especially if amazon can do that "double data plan" setting (or get Verizon to add it after the fact)... and if I decide to get the Nexus, I wonder if I could return the phone to Verizon and swap it for the Nexus.

Sorry, hit submit too quickly. My biggest beef with the Nexus S was lack of removable SD storage. Granted, the internal memory was crazy fast, but when my Nexus S needed to be RMA'd, I lost everything on my "SD" storage partition. That, and lack of 4G on T-Mobile, of course. But Gingerbread was...

I switched from an iPhone AT&T to TMobile to get the Nexus One, and stayed with them for a Nexus S, but I think I'll be switching to VZW for the Galaxy Nexus when it lands. I've been a fan of the Nexus S, though I always found the wifi to be a little underpowered. What remains to be seen, of...

The Verizon store I went into wouldn't show me a working Bionic, just the floor model with the sticker screen. They said they couldn't show one off without actually activating it. Sad. The sales guy even tried to 'promote' it by saying it had already been rooted.

Thanks again for the Lookout tickets before Google IO. I'd be happy to take this stuff off your hands.

For what it's worth, someone rooted the 10.1" tablet we got at Google IO by 3am Pacific time on Wednesday, probably about 12-15 hours after receiving it. I saw a blog post on it somewhere, might have been at AndroidPolice. Very simple instructions, but haven't tried it yet.

While I'm suspicious that AC will even get 20 replies in here because IO sold out so quickly, I'd love to hang out and party on the 9th. I'll get a colleague of mine to get himself an account here as well and post a follow-up since we're carpooling up to the Bay area early on the 9th. I'm always...

I bought ADW Ex and tried LauncherPro as well, and both kept crashing *constantly* on my Nexus, so I switched back to the stock launcher, but haven't really noticed any slowdown like the OP mentions.

Confirmed on my Nexus S as well... it's plugged into a PC for charging, not mounted, and no notifcation sounds were made. This might be related to the ringtone bug. Someone else mentioned on the Google bug report page that their ringtones, etc., got reset to default/random tones (or set to...

Yup, I starred that one about a week and a half ago along with others, like the ringtone issue, etc. Thanks for the reminder!

I found a widget last night that will allow me to unmount my USB Storage without needing root, but Astro File Manager didn't show any files under the old /mnt/sdcard/ path. What's funny though, after I realized last night that none of my missing photos were under /mnt/sdcard after an unmount...
