Deep breath everyone and relax.

Official Promo Video Reveals Verizon Wireless Destination

See? See?!

Actually, his exact words were:



Meaning: Don't worry yet.

What's so terrible about that? There's nothing to worry about.

You missed a later tweet showing him the VZW reference in the promo video and he said that means NOTHING.

My guess is that there is still not official agreement to allow this device on VZW, EVEN THOUGH that has been the plan all along for USA initial release. Google/Samsung probably have devices ready for AT&T and T-Mo also are are using that as leverage hoping ICS excitement among VZW customers settles the final missing pieces to a release agreement. They would have mentioned VZW JUST LIKE they mentioned NTT DOCOMO if'n VZW was a done deal for release of the device pure and simple.

Deep breaths and happy thoughts.

That's the video I was referring to about verizon being mentioned.

 

[HanSolo]

All right, good night fellow Android geeks. I'll be dreaming of Ice Cream Sandwiches tonight!

 

[cereal killer]

I'm not worried...I've spoken to a vz rep who saw with her own eyes the two phones go into the system today for Nov. 10th release.

I'm not worried neither I just want confirmation via official word from those there.

Exactly. It was VERY vague.

And since when does P3Droid have more clout than my own eyes seeing Verizon Wireless stamped on the phone's screen during the official unveiling?

I think P3Droid likes to have a lot of attention.

Ok, and those are my final thoughts. Now I'm going to bed.

Does it have HDMI?

 

[10splaya22]

Im sure verizon will have their own announcement saying they will be getting the phone

Deep breath everyone and relax.

This is the same teaser as previously posted - this is what sparked this whole debate!

 

[llescaflownell]

Man, wish i had a friend named Scotty, so I can tell him to "beam me up, Scotty!" when using android beam lol XD

 

[jasaero]

Exactly. It was VERY vague.

This is DEFINITELY one of those where there's smoke there's fire sorta deals. We just have to cross our fingers someone get's this fire out before it's too late for the VZW peeps.

 

[UBRocked]

Verizon needs to have this phone or people that were waiting on the SGII will start rioting!

Wow...RAZR just seems pathetic now. Locked (probably encrypted) bootloader (meaning it will probably not be a quick port to ICS from the dev community), plagued with Verizon and Motorola responsible for official updates...so it may see ICS by June of 2012 LOL!

There are just too many features in ICS to ignore. Froyo to GB wasn't a HUGE leap. GB to ICS is!

 

[llescaflownell]

VZW wasnt stated during the release probably because they wanted to announce it themselves. There's enough evidence out there to safely say it will be coming to vzw. Rest and relax until that announcement, no use in freaking out now when you can't do anything about it.

Well he DID just dump ALL system and ICS google app files on HIS website as if he's had them for awhile and just needed until now to dump them. He has connections.

 

[OfTheDamned]

Does it have HDMI?

No, MHL which I'm told is better.

 

[eyetek]

Exactly. It was VERY vague.

Did you really think Google or Samsung would make the announcement for Verizon?

 

[rhietpas]

I'm so tired of the people panicking about "the verizon issue" I'm not going to continue reading this thread tonight.

I look forward to starting back up tomorrow when people have gathered themselves. Anyways, I can't wait to replace my Incredible with this phone!

 

[joelmole]

is there anywhere to watch the event now? I missed the live stream, and I'd really like to see the video.

There was a TON of evidence the HTC Merge was coming to Verizon, look how that ended up...

accesories, arriving at Verizon, Verizon inventory screenies etc etc
