Err sorry about that...here's the image. Also updated the original post. Please remember this is unconfirmed and according to Phil, the source says it is a "work in progress". Whatever that means.

I definitely agree with you. I would be beyond ticked if I was a bionic owner.

I can't speak for all of us, but believe me, I AM TICKED!!! The delay in release was bad enough, but even after all the delays, they STILL managed to release a phone that has so many glitches, issues and flat out flaws that I call my Bionic "The Six Million Dollar NIGHTMARE"

I have actually considered buying a Devour off of Ebay for $50 to use until the Nexus drops. Sure, it'll be old, small and slow, but at least I wont be pulling the battery mutiple times per day (in between those times when it is randomly deleting/uninstalling apps and also rebooting itself).

Honestly, I think I would get more reliable performance trying to make calls on an ACTUAL Ice Cream Sandwich versus the Bionic! :mad:

Could it be, Chief and I's feelings were right on it sticking to the 17th?!

I sure hope so! That would make my week so awesome!

IndecisiveElle · Nov 3, 2011

That looks more legit than some of the MAPs we have seen thats for sure.

Well look what Phil at AC just posted...unconfirmed of course but hey, it's something.
[Unconfirmed] Possible Nov. 17 proof - Android Forums at AndroidCentral.com

Potential proof of a Nov. 17th launch.

Here's the image.

AntimonyER · Nov 3, 2011

This looks legitimate. Steven, do you think you could ask the Source for a nod or some other affirmative gesture to confirm this?

TheRoosevelt · Nov 3, 2011

I wish the web address wasn't cut off, then I could go see the page for myself

While I'm gonna take this with a grain of salt, it'll just be one grain of salt, not the whole shaker this time.

It's funny that this is revealed just an hour after P3Droid posted that he would have his nexus by the 21st... coincidence?

Wow I hope this is correct!!!! Then if VZW has 30 day exclusive, it gives time for me to get it subsidized on Tmo before Christmas. I think it also gives the other GSM carriers motivation to try to get it out before Christmas. Probably a pipe dream, but this date gives me hope for 2011, end of November does not.

Just wanted to say, looking for that pic at AC already reminded me of the reasons I left that forum and came here. A BIG thank you to all here who make this a great place to hang me hat. (Mods especially) EVERYBODIES efforts to keep this place warm and fun is very appreciated.

Your logic maybe good for Verizon, but don't you thing that Google would love to release ICS asap.

Next year Verizon vs Google in a steel cage match. Ding Ding...

Yes, thats why I think it will release later this month. Any longer and it borders on stupidity.

It could be but zooming in on the dates doesn't show anything fishy. The moire pattern from the screen is intact and the artifacts around the dates are consistent with other text.

It would most likely be an intranet site or behind authentication.

And everyone is assuming P3Droid is talking about the Nexus when he said he ordered the Bionic's replacement, but couldn't he just be talking about another Bionic? He's been doing a lot of work on it lately.

While I agree it has a good chance of being legit, someone could always mock something up like this in Photoshop, and take a picture of it on their screen from a weird angle.
Whether they'd be able to spread it around is another question entirely.

magdelaine · Nov 3, 2011

It's a marketing page that is probably as yet incomplete. It looks legit to me because it matches the font, logos, etc. of real VZW web pages and design. If it's a fake, it's a good one.

ferdasyn · Nov 3, 2011

Why would anyone shop a picture like that? 30 seconds using html editor looks more likely to me..

He said he'd be "holding the entire universe" in his hands on the 21st.

Get it? Universe? Galaxy?
Nothing like some scientifically inaccurate puns to get your message across

BabyBlues · Nov 3, 2011

In anticipation of getting this phone I have spent the last hour hunting through the CM7 pages for mods and such so I can flash either later this afternoon or tonight and get a feel for vanilla again. Rosie and I aren't getting along too well lately.

With P3's reputation, it more likely he's getting AT&T's Uverse service installed.

Stigy · Nov 3, 2011

I'd love for this to be 100% true.

*HAPPY DANCE*

vandyman · Nov 3, 2011

It sure would be nice if that image is true.
Give it an hour and you will be slapped back to reality. :rolleyes:

What the.......

Nevermind. I don't want to know. I don't want to know. I don't want to know.

OK, maybe go into a little more detail.
