I wish I had the money to just order an unlocked one.
Supposedly this thursday (15th) is the next possible release date, but who knows. The 15th is only two days away, and still not one single announcement or advertisement from VZW. Could they really release this phone silently? Other rumors suggest a Dec 20-22 or even after Christmas release date.
Waiting until after Christmas to sell the phone, would be a huge mistake. They would loose out on a lot of sales.... Including mine.
If it doesn't release before the end of this coming weekend, I might be forced to buy a rezound. I have a lot of shopping for others that I need to get done. Any release after this week, is just too close to Christmas for me.
Why does it matter where it falls with respect to Christmas if you're going to spend $200+ for a phone no matter what?
It would just feel wrong to me, going out a few days before or after Christmas to buy myself something. Maybe I am just weird.
Also, the week after Christmas is usually my buyers remorse week, where I sit there and realize how much money I blew. Its a psychological thing to me, if I buy the phone now ill be fine. If I wait until after I realize how much money I spent on Christmas, ill want to save my money.
Well that's nice Thrax,
Its just my way of thinking...
I don't really see how its a problem that I wouldn't want to buy myself a phone after Christmas.
After Christmas, I realize how I should probably not spend any more money unless I need too. Im a broke college kid after all, and probably shouldn't be buying the phone to begin with.
What he is saying:
You are trying to justify the purchase by making it a christmas gift, which is arbitrary, rather than asking yourself if you have enough money to afford it or not. Your dependence on this holiday should be not be the purchasing decision.

Well technically, I don't have the money for any of it. Phone or Christmas gifts. Im already in debt from school loans and school credit card payments.
Im not saying that its a Christmas gift for myself.
Im just saying that usually after Christmas I realize that I over spent, and my whole mindset changes... Which would likely prevent me from buying the phone....
Its honestly not that confusing... Besides, what difference does it make if I decide this week is the last week that I wait? I wasn't even complaining or anything, I just said ill buy the rezound. My dad has it, its a great phone and I actually like it too.
Actually, the upcoming crop of quad core chips are more efficient than today's dual cores. Smaller process nodes and more efficient processes require less voltage at all clockspeeds.
This is why today's 6-8 core desktop CPUs require just a fraction of the power of yesteryear's <1GHz single-core CPUs. Efficiency is the name of the game.
So I am now eligible for full upgrade credit. I currently have the Samsung Epic I from Sprint. Should I pick a Sprint phone now, or hold off on upgrading and wait for the QC phones coming out sometime this year?
It's extremely hard to anticipate what phones Sprint will be getting because, as usual, the world is run by GSM, and Sprint isn't a GSM carrier. All of the phones we know anything about thus far are GSM.
At the very least, I'd wait for the Sprint Galaxy Nexus before making a decision.
It's guaranteed to get upgraded to the next version of Android (likely codenamed "Jellybean"). The rest are not. It also has no carrier crapware, and OS upgrades directly from Google.
