I meant scale quicker as in being able to support everything they're doing at a high pace, since thats what consumers are demanding.

mine has a delivery date of the 17th.
the day after my birthday.

AWWW YIIIISSSSS!

TSXy Luster

^Sneaky self-birthday plug there.

speedemon90

Mine said the 9th

TSXy Luster

Call them up, tell them it is the 9th and it is not even shipped yet. Try to get a discount, coupon code, or free accessory/stuff for your "troubles"

speedemon90

well they sent an email stating that there may be a 1-2 day delay for shipping because of a storm. Also I believe there was an asterisk when ordering the phone saying shipment may be delayed due to overwhelming demand. Haha but I may try...

TSXy Luster

speedemon90

Well I got the email it shipped and its coming tomorrow night!

There goes my studying for the night...

MDXExtrememememem, I have a christmas present for you.

TSXy Luster

I added you recently lol. I'm the one with a single letter for a last name.

And looks like a couple of new Google Play Edition devices got announced today:

Sony Z Ultra GPE
https://play.google.com/store/device...d=sony_z_ultra


LG G Pad 8.3 GPE
https://play.google.com/store/device...ls?id=lg_g_pad


and a white Nexus 7 (2013)
https://play.google.com/store/device...2gb_2013_white

Whiskers

Damn, I want that Z ultra...

TSXy Luster

Closest thing to a Sony Nexus for now...

speedemon90

I want that LG G Pad...

TSXy Luster

Notice how they are all running 4.4 but with black bars. Damn Nexus 5 GEL exclusivity crap!

Google Play Store now has mobile devices with screen sizes that are 4.75, 4.95, 5, 6.4, 7.02, 8.3, and 10.055 inches

p.s. You'll notice that most of these have FREE shipping right now.

speedemon90

Yea its stupid how they made it exclusive on the N5... There's a reason people stick to nexus phones/tablets.

Also why doesn't the moto x have photosphere!! I like that.

speedemon90

Sorry I'm giving you instagram quality pic but I'm sick and too lazy to upload everywhere right now

TSXy Luster

That navy looks a lot darker than I thought.

speedemon90

Its not that dark as represented in the picture. The lighting was bad. I'll take another and show it later. The manual states to let it charge for 3 hours before turning it on. Why is that recommended??

stogie1020

probably because they know you are going to want to play with it for hours and they don't want you to run to the interweb in the first hour complaining that the battery runs out too fast...

TSXy Luster

^^ DING! DING! DING!

Also, where's the pic of your mom's?

speedemon90

My moms was shipped home, I'm at my apt in LA. Gotta wait till my dad sends me one.

stogie1020

Dang, I thought he was asking for pics of my mom...

TSXy Luster

You can share if you insist.

speedemon90

that was hilarious, I actually started cracking up

mdkxtreme

For a second there I was like, "Wait a minute, this post doesn't sound like David at all". Haha

speedemon90

Are particular screen protectors recommended?? Or are they all basically the same for the most part.

TSXy Luster

I like Zagg's HD / Extreme ones. Always worked for me, never failed so I figured why change.

Doesn't the Moto X have a gorilla glass screen? I guess if you don't like smudges...

Too bad I missed out on the cyber monday deal. Still, I was dead set on the N5 and now I think I'll being going for a MX. Which color though...

TSXy Luster

Oh lord, not this again...

Gorilla Glass is just to prevent low level scratches. The company even states (read: hides it very well) the limit on its website, but rarely anyone ever checks it because of all the FUD out there. Marketing! Marketing! Marketing! (Bewshit! Bewshit! Bewshit!). It is very breakable and scratchable. How easy is it to scratch Gorilla Glass? Take a few grains of sand. Heck even some keys can do it. Drop it on the ground/road and you instantly have scratches from loose gravel, if you are lucky. If not, you probably have a broken screen.
Also, the iterations of Gorilla Glass did not improve their scratch resistance, but just made the glass thinner and thinner each time.

A company that actually produces unscratchable glass is Sapphire because the only thing that can scratch sapphire is diamond.

speedemon90

Yea but if it falls and hits a corner of the screen i'm afraid of it scratching still

This is Nokia's Android phone, slated for 2014.

mdkxtreme

Do you know if there is a reason why Google is doing a "round-robin" for manufacturers to make their phones? It's just Google has asked HTC, Asus, Samsung, and LG to make a lot of their products.

I don't have a problem with it. I actually like to see what companies have to offer when it's their turn to manufacture Google's devices. I'm just curious.

Oh and to clear it up, I'm not responding to the Nokia one above. It just sparked a thought.

is300eater

this is kinda weird, I took this pic yesterday because we had some light snow... and over at G+, I see it off to the side of my recently taken photos (basically suggesting me to "share"), but I didn't do this snow flake gif... Is this something of Google's doing? Or my Note 3 decided to do this?

speedemon90

Haha thats G+ that does that. They add autoawesome things to pics. You can take it off if you don't want it.

They will also make a movie sometimes too.

TSXy Luster

Yes I know, but it's not what you think is happening. Will elaborate more at a later time.

Here you go, this will explain everything.

didn't MS buy Nokia? While I'm glad they are bringing out an Android phone, I'm surprise they are supporting the Android OS
