Is it the 18th yet?

Don't read that as a review, read it as a first impression.

That and Touch Wiz vs Sense. Oh and that sweet Pebble Blue color.

 

The removable battery is the only thing that's allowing me to keep using my original EVO since my USB port has been fracked for months.

Same thing happened with my brother's EVO. It has me considering Best Buy's Black Tie program.

This is very intriguing. Since I only reserved with Best Buy I don't have to worry about canceling. With the $10 Google Wallet credit this is about $40 better than the BB offer with the $50 Gift card.

I wonder if that Google Wallet credit is going to be universal. Too bad it isn't the full $50 credit they offered to the GNex purchases.

Everything I want this month has been pre-ordered. I feel like a kid waiting for Christmas and this year, Best-Buy is Santa. By the end of next week I should have both my new phone, and Diablo 3, and my wife won't hear from me for a month (unless she texts me on the new phone).

Oh, see, I didn't know they made those. lol

There have been a few bluetooth keyboards, but I haven't seen any mini ones yet.

I'm picturing a mini keyboard built into a phone case. Would be a little bulky though.

Maybe there is a market for an add on keyboard for some of you "I need a keyboard" folks. Maybe a mini bluetooth keypad or something?

I pre-ordered with Best Buy yesterday since I signed up with their $50 GC/Savings for upgrading a few months ago, so It's knocking $50 bucks off the price. I've never pre-ordered a phone before, but it was right at my upgrade date and I've been using a second hand Kyocera Echo since I dropped my HTC Hero in the toilet months ago.

The upgrades over the One X ended up being the clincher. I'm not crazy about not being able to remove the battery, but no memory card slot would have been the deal breaker.

Also, thanks for the update on the LTE coverage coming to Orlando in round two, complete with the map. That made a big difference as well. I live between Orlando and Daytona (both have Wi-Max) and do not get current Sprint 4G coverage, but it looks like I will be included in the LTE coverage, so that's a huge plus.
