So, to interrupt the estrogen stream for a bit. . .

A guy named Britishturbo is talking with Black_man_x about the leaked Prime picture, and he says

This is so confusing! Who knows what to believe. Is it the 11th yet?

It's not confusing.

Believe NOTHING until there is a full pic (blurry cams count) that will be verified through solid sources.

killjoy! You kill anything with joy in it.

We should start calling him Vir. (from B5...anyone, anyone...)

"Vir! You moonfaced assasin of joy!"

Actually it's an advantage to have a pragmatist like CK in the thread... it keeps us from going goo-goo over a phone that may or may not be ours on the 3rd. I'd much rather be let down over a picture now than be REALLY let down over the phone.

Whatchu talkin about Willis?

This whole thing is a roller coaster ride. Hopefully some more pics surface, now I'm back to doubting, at least slightly.

I'd like to live just long enough to be there when they cut off your head and stick it on a pike as a warning to the next ten generations that some favors come with too high a price. I would look up at your lifeless eyes and wave like this.

But, what fun would that be? The reason we're all here is to get excited about any rumor/piece of info regardless of validity that comes out all the way up to release day about our precious Prime. I know, I only have myself to blame!

Han, ma buki!

We're not going goo-goo? That's debatable.

 

[g_patrick15]

There's nothing wrong with being a pessimist. It just gets annoying to see every rumor, the only thing we have to go on, be shot down because we don't know the model numbers. If these phones are as similar as some would lead us to believe, they will probably be nearly identical in looks, leaving the model number only a matter of semantics. trust me, most of us here will be far more excited about a leaked photo over the model numbers.

We all know to take anything leaked with a grain of salt. No need for ck to constantly remind us. And no, I'm not trying to troll ck. From what I've read of his posts on here, he seems to generally be a knowledgeable guy.

Is there a She-Mod?

There is nothing on this earth sexier, believe me, gentlemen, than a woman you have to salute in the morning.

We need a She-Mod!

7 Days until the big announcement!!

7 Days until the big announcement!!

Can we say less than 7 now?

 

[Sandroidfan]

Yeah, now it's time for Google/Samsung to strike back next week. iPhone4S should be easy one to beat. I wonder what the atmosphere at Google, Samsung mobile headquarters are like now.

I bet it's a "STFU" type attitude so they can keep things on lock but I'm sure there's some serious excitement in the air and people that are working overtime to keep their lips sealed. It's gotta be hard to keep something like ICS quiet when your hands are on it daily and you're one of the first people to know exactly what it offers.

 

[The_Chief]

Google folks are probably popping the cork and celebrating!

The Nexus Prime, like this thread, is quickly going BEYOND "Epic" and easing toward "Legendary". By the time next Tuesday afternoon rolls around, I think both will be considered by many as being downright mythological.

I sure hope so.

EDIT: My teenage son would be quick to call it "uber-legit". Yeah, whatever

Sorry Grandmadroid, didn't mean to forget you.

No offense taken. Saw this today:" iPhones=GEEK. Android=BAD ASS." Which one are you?? Oh yeah, baby......BRING IT!

Sorry Grandmadroid, didn't mean to forget you.

What's funny is I AM wearing a purple sweatshirt AND drinking a cup of coffee while catching up on today's news!

Guys, I have a strong feeling that October 2011 will be remembered as when the iPhone stopped being competitive. It's sad, really.

This industry is moving so freaking fast, that whatever you come out with better be superior to what's coming out next month.

This pile of crap that Apple just excreted on their customer base wouldn't even beat out the Galaxy S II, let alone the Prime.

What is really mind bending to me at least............16 months and this is the best they can do?.................oh well......................3G to a 3GS...........now a 4 to a 4S............................unreal!

 

[bluenik25]

Can someone give us a recap of the prime rumors to date and compare them to the iPhone 4S? This tread is so long I can't remember everything....I should have been taking notes. I need some ammunition to hurl at some fanboys tomorrow.

And people are eating it up...

Apple iPhone 4S makes its way through the FCC? -- Engadget

This is what I thought I remembered with regard to FCC filings. Somehow, Apple either strikes a deal with the FCC to keep it on the DL until they announce it, or they're just that confident their phone will pass that they wait until after they announce to submit it to the FCC. So, what we have here is only a 10 day lag from passing FCC to release. Samsung/Google could be doing the same thing. We may see our beloved Prime pass through FCC just in time, next Tuesday evening.
