when did this forum turn into a football forum..?

No nexus, but the Cowboys have crept into 1st place in the NFC east so I can't complain much. Catch you guys in 8 hours.

The other difference is that, and people here can feel free to correct me if I am wrong, but the sources in this thread, the ones that Steven has been talking to and the ones that are giving us the info, were all properly "vetted" by Steven and the other admins, to the extent of not being fired from their jobs of course. He has assured us as much.

P3 just kinda spouts off info and shoots from the hip. Who knows where he is hearing this from, if he is even hearing anything at all.

Sorry, but...big difference.

How do you know? You don't. You're making accusations about something you know little to nothing about. He could be saying nothing about his sources because they don't want him mentioning a thing. I agree, the way he carries on with the demeanor he uses in some of his posts, its easy to discount and discredit. But he's no more or less reliable than "love tunnel", the moms piano-teaching dogs cousins hamster, the screen shots we see daily (that may have at one point when they were initially leaked be true, and now not), and every other bit of second hand knowledge people have been dissecting and analyzing from up down and sideways. Its fun to sleuth and piece this all together, I know. But in doing so I've always found it better to take a wider look at the information.

Alright, I was just wondering because you are so pumped and so adamant about it releasing at some point this week, that it seems like if (when) it doesn't, you are going to be gravely disappointed...

Cincy... you may have missed before. He is 15 and just excited about the phone. His optimism is purely emotional, not based on anything. Like many of us, he's a kid waiting for Christmas.

That was sarcasm, Scotty... making fun of everyone who is WAY to optimistic about crazy non-sense rumors.

Didn't they ask to keep this thread on topic?

Nope. Just to limit the jockeying for 1,000 post markers.

He is extremely arrogant. He got banned from AC for being a jerk. He constantly tweets little negative cryptic crap that makes it sound like the sky is falling and only he knows when the world will end, and he's not telling.

Is it any surprise that people hate on him?

Agreed, and... agreed.

You can hate a man, but you can still look independently and objectively at his product. Perhaps you have an assistant, boss or partner at you law firm whom you genuinely regard as less than pleasant. But you are still forced to look objectively and independently at his work.

Nope. If the Nexus is/has:

A) A locked and encrypted bootloader(the latter being the important point)

B) Only 16GB and $299

or

C) pushed into December

I won't be getting it.

Yep. Right there with you. And even more so I'm leaving Verizon for good.

[RANT]You hear that Verizon corporate? You made a great network but how can you not figure out how to release phones in a prompt manner before they become outdated before even hitting your network.

PS. Not only am I leaving but I will do everything in my power to take as many people with me as I can. I advise plenty of friends that are unhappy with your ways too and if I tell them the phone they want is on another network you can kiss them goodbye too. [/RANT]

The difference is that the Love Tunnel, and in turn Steven, don't demand attention and twitter followers in return for information, nor do they state their information as irrefutable fact. You don't see Steven denying people help with "do i owe u anything? i dont think so" (which is what P3 said to our very own wedgemoose).

Like Early said, if someone sets themselves up like some public celebrity, they better accept the negative attention they're gonna receive.

You don't go around defending Harold Camping for incorrectly predicting the end of the world this year. He made millions of his little scheme at the expense of others, and similarly, P3 is another self-serving false prophet.

If P3 stuck to devving, I wouldn't mind him at all. If he told people information politely, while admitting that there was a chance that he was wrong, I wouldn't dislike him.
But P3 is what he is, and I don't like it.

Nope, just to cut back on all the posts that are promoting and encouraging users TO make OT replies with the clear sole purpose of bumping the thread's reply count to.. hit milestones.

Can still hang out and chat though

edit: Also, I'm 33 and giddy and excited about this phone, like a kid on Christmas!

So I'm not the only one who can't stop thinking about this phone, eh?

scottg96 · Nov 20, 2011

BTW, 2 minutes until midnight (EST). Probably nothing will happen, but I thought I'd point it out for those who wish to camp out on the VZW site.

This song comes to mind:

It's ok. I think a lot of us have tried to make sure we say its sarcasm. When in doubt pm or just ask. I honestly don't believe anyone here is trying to be malicious. I do know for a fact that a lot of us use sarcasm so often that we don't realize it could be misconstrued so don't take it personally.

TheRoosevelt · Nov 20, 2011

Verizon never updates their website at midnight, don't bother.

If anything happens, they'll update at 10am or in the afternoon.

bdub · Nov 20, 2011

Have only skimmed the thread this weekend but dayum it seems awfully irritable around here. Relax guys and gals, it'll happen. And if not? Fine we can all drink the koolaid.
