I'm uncomfortable with all the P3 trashing. I've been reading all the comments and something inside of me just twinged.

Does P3 deserve to be spoken badly because of his behavior? I think so.
I'll tell you a story. I had a personal run in with him when I misquoted him on a Phandroid tip and it got printed. He got upset. I reported it right away and the story was fixied. I felt awful. I felt so bad that I lost sleep for a night or two. I emailed him and and PM'd him on his site apologizing and asking his forgiveness. He didn't/wouldn't respond. Rob told me he reached out to him. He didn't respond. I have reason to resent him, but I let that go.

You see, his character and behavior has brought him to where he is now. How we respond indicates what is in our nature and character. I prefer to take the high road in this, bless him and even pray for him. I hope that you all would consider my request that you treat him with a respect that perhaps is more and indication of the quality of your character than of what he actually deserves. Think about it. It's good for the soul to take the high road.

Taking the high road is more characteristic of the tenor of this thread. We are not mean-spirited and vengeful here. Here we are loving and familial. We've proved that over and over. Let's do it again. Okay?

Me...Personally...I will miss P3Droid...he was a GREAT member of the Android community...Hopefully he will stay connected in some form...what will happen to TBH? I think in some form he just "cracked" under the pressure...he was attempting to give us good info...but as we know one persons inside info is just as good as anothers...sure he got frustrated...wouldn't we all...does any of us have over 10,000 followers on Twitter bugging us about a Release Date???

Sure sometimes he came across as a little snotty but I never take offense to something typed on a QWERTY keyboard...

P3Droid is a member of the Android Community who will be missed!

And I guess that means I should apologize because I found it funny... still do. Ah, the dichotomy and hypocrisy of the human condition. :p

I guess its all fun and games until someone gets hurt, huh. :)

I will try to for some better jokes tomorrow, like posting of a photo of my paycheck



LMAO!!! :p

i keep reading that the reason could be because with 4g down they wouldnt be able to activate the sims. but i dont get how that makes sense, since people who dont live in 4g areas can activate their sims. can someone explain the difference


One of the two corporate stores near me is in a 4G dead zone, but that doesn't stop them from selling 4G phones. They also sold 4G phones before the LTE rollout in their area.

I don't think you need a 4G signal to activate the handset.

Good night to those of you going to bed!!!!

~~~~~~~

If it would help you study, I can temporarily ban you. :p

I was kidding. I could and should get banned myself for doing that.


Hmmmm - that's too bad - could possibly help while at work. Lol.
I did actually turn my phone completely off today for about an hour. I didn't like it at all.

Pics or get out!

Hah, just joshin! Lucky you, I'm quite jealous that you were able to check out the GNex. Hopefully we all have that opportunity Friday.

I know, necro quote, but that's my name and I did not give you permission to use it in a joking manner! ;)

If it would help you study, I can temporarily ban you. :p

+1 should update the OP to state anyone who mentions reading this thread when they should be studying gets a 1 week ban

The Wife58 took a huge spill at work and got hurt badly yesterday. They called the ambulance.

Sorry to hear that Wife58 took a spill. Hopefully she is fine and you don't have to find Wife59 quite yet. :rolleyes:

and worse then getting banned himself he might have his free GNEX revoked:D

Congrats on getting that, you deserve it for moderating this mad house and retaining at least one shred of Sanity. If you maintained 3 shreds of sanity you might be up for Sainthood. (I'm not an expert so I might be wrong on that point)

And this is why a group of people got together and rewarded your awesome stewardship of this thread and forum. Thank you Steven for your voice of reason.

What people don't know -

The 3rd shift is the most relaxed shift of the day. It's usually very fun w/ a lot of OT posts.

3rd shifters - FOREVER!!


I love waking up to read the 3rd shift posts. It's almost always very upbeat. Makes getting out of my bed a little easier.

Hey everyone,

Long time lurker, first time poster. I'm super excited for this phone. It's a shame we're hearing about these delays to the 13th. Personally, I will head down to several corporate stores in NY and NJ tomorrow (or should I say today?) and Friday and see what is going on and who knows what. I'll be sure to let you all know what happens when I get back. Epic thread you guys have here by the way. :)
