    Yeah, 5 meters was as close as I could get with the Galaxy Nexus. It seemed to operate in increments of 5; perhaps some GPS chips do that and can never feasibly get to 0?

    thanks for testing that out for me. Yeah, it's definitely the GPS chip it uses. That's still pretty good but thanks for testing that out and confirming.

    How's the browser? People say it's silky smooth :)

    It's really fast. Like, twice as fast as the Honeycomb browser on my Transformer. I haven't had to force close it yet, either, which is a great change. It doesn't do Flash though, but that's not really a big deal for me.

    I just got the latest bug fix for 4.0.1 (build ITL41F) so, true to Nexus form, updates getting pushed quickly. I'd wager that the 4.1 update fixes some bugs involving the LTE version of the phone for Verizon.

    Yup, and another update just hit the VZW Engineer model again. Makes phone snappier, new framework, and it's also possible the build enables the dock that's yet to come out to work.

    Fortunately for you, even had you not received the update, you'd be okay since we don't utilize any network on the 900mhz spectrum :)

    By any chance, do you plan on unlocking your bootloader?

    Probably not. If I do, it'd only be when a stable version of CM9 is released.

    The wait might finally be over .

    I received confirmation from my local corporate VZW store that the phone will be sold tomorrow. They even told me they would put one aside for me.

    I hope they don't bull**** and back out at the last minute.

    Wish me luck

    Is there any way you can get a picture of yourself when they don't have the phone for you? I want that expression of sadness/disdain/defeat captured. I'd like to send the picture to the kid in Africa I'm sponsoring for $1 for X-Mas. Thanks in advance.

    "Name withheld" allowed me to play with it in the back of the verizon store in ____land texas, as I have been popping in atleast 3x a week for the past 7 weeks to check if its in. He finally said HEY! COME HERE AND LOOK! then grabbed my hand and lead me to paradise. Then I got hard.
