The Kubler-Ross Stages of Grief applied to the Galaxy Nexus

[Andrew Ruffolo]

I'm in stage 5... My Psychology class learned about this on September 11th, 2001.

I'm in stage......'This is a Phone.' And I'll try to evaluate it after it sees the light of day. And pending all the angst ridden disappointment and glee from new owners that is sure to provide me plenty of amusement in the days to come.

Being in the medical field I know that at times I can think rather.....oddly. But I've noticed for the past couple of days that I have been reading these threads that our comments and thought processes have pretty much mirrored the Kubler-Ross Stages of Grief. So to lighten things up on here, feel free to let me know what stage you feel like you fall under when thinking about the Galaxy Nexus..... I am still on stage two...LOL.

Stage 1 - Denial (example: "There will be no product delay, it's just an advertising MAP")

Stage 2 - Anger (example: "If they don't release this F' ing Nexus I'll go with the F'ing iphone!!)

Stage 3 - Bargaining (example: "If they release the GN I will switch from AT&T and go directly to Verizon....I promise!!")

Stage 4 - Depression (example: "God, my life sucks without this phone...its all I think about")

Stage 5 - Acceptance ( example: "I am totally cool with waiting for as long as it takes, it will be a great phone!)

Everything about this is WRONG!!! (So let's argue about it until the Galaxy Nexus, err, I mean cows come home.)
