[woodraskam]

Anyone else a little worried, on no other 21st rumors/confirmations, and a lack of release on the samsung illusion and BB Curve?

No. I think that any marketing materials from last week are now meaningless in regards to a specific release date. The phone is in testing. When "the man" actually decides to give the green light to begin sales is likely still unknown because the testing data has not been concluded yet. I think that it is still 100% in the air when EXACTLY it will be released.

Who's getting excited about this phone? After all... a reviewer called it the best android fone EVER?

Phone... what phone?

I've never seen anything like this thread in my life. I hate it and love it and walk away but am drawn back like a moth to a flame. Sorta like Woodstock on the Internets. Hell I hope the damn phone never gets here because this thread will then end.

I'm just saying kinda weird we haven't heard more "Week of" rumors outside this thread.

Because everyone relies on this thread for their information now!

And possible the best phone ever.

There's no phone like GNex

Why would you? What non-Verizon source is more in the know or more connected than this forum? There will be a very small windows between the green light and the phone being available. Probably as long as it take to send product to the stores (or change the website).

wait why won't swype be available on the GNex if you are a beta subscriber?

Just sent my Bionic out the door and now rocking an old school flip phone...god I hope this thing comes out Monday.

For those Swype users that are terrified, I was once in your boat. VERY reluctantly switched to Swiftkey X, and I've never looked back. I actually think I'm faster and more accurate now than I was with Swype (which I used since it first came out).

I have the first device that came with Swype (Omnia II), and I was dissapointed when I found that the Galaxy Nexus wouldn't support Swype. I don't have an android YET, so I haven't been able to try anything besides Swype. Thank you for your post. I will definitly try SwiftKey when I get the Nexus.

On the topic of the 21st, the Love Tunnel did say in his latest message that it was "subject to change". Also, the fact that my sister said "week of" means that she hasn't heard a definite day.

But, it lines up with other rumors floating around that say before Black Friday or even on Black Friday (which would suck). My hope is about an 8.5 that we'll have it next week.

But if not, that just gives me a bit more time to play with my new and temporary Dinc2!!

 

[cggorman]

That's an existential question I ask myself each and every day.

But I'll concede the point that BB lately means the cheery and impressively artistic BabyBlues.

LOVING your avatar! Wasn't that a bmp in Win 3.1?

testman is back

no GNex, Rezound or Razr seen

for a while it was redirecting to testman-avs

 

[lickwidravr]

guys, from the verge q&a:

Question: Josh, you said the phone you tested had HSPA+ for AT&T but you also said that the only carrier you can definitely get it on is Verizon. Can you clarify that? Were you using a euro version or did you mean no LTE other than Verizon?

Answer: I tested an unlocked, international, GSM version of the phone. The only carrier who will have it in the US is Verizon.

It just shows you how good Steven is. Turns out The Source IS the setter of the date. So we know it before VZW does

edit: That would be awesome though.

Just wondering how long the delay will be before the software runs on Ice Cream Sandwich. For all we know it will be ready to go on or before release day.

Verizon Wireless is showing as temporarily down right now.. I was checking my upgrades.

Well that makes perfect sense, they tested it on testman, and the page went down, so lets go ahead and roll it out to the real site now

 

[Stigy]

Han - where were those pictures originally posted?

They're both dead links right now and I would love to see the comparison between the two device screens.

Hoping to see a press release or something tomorrow.
