droid-life says its dude to bugs. lol are these bugs are an unlockd boot loader with a root method already. Blah VZ. Who do i kick in the nuts? :icon_evil:
 
ok lets all calm down and wait for vzw and samsung to make an announcement. They had the phone on fox business last week and the guy said it was ready. Rumors are just that and they are not always reliable. At this point I would suggest people take a breather and just wait and see.

Well what about this contest deal? Everyone that has ended the phone came out on that date, I don't see why that wouldn't be true on this case.

thats what we have been doing though. look on engadget and youll find several carriers from like canada and europe boasting the fact that the nexus is coming but vz is holding all info back. Sometimes informing people is better then no information becuase it removes the whole "lets speculate" thing...speculation can be worse then just telling people the truth.
 
Didn't P3 also say a few weeks back that VZW might not be getting the Nexus? LOLOL
 
So he says it's being delayed because of bugs now, yet he's testing the device, isn't under an NDA and hasn't revealed any bugs yet...

I call bs.

And on his review he praises everything so high, claims ICS is very smooth and polished.

Swoosh

I may not be a basketball player, but you give me enough shots and I will eventually hit a basket at the half court mark.

This is the same p3 who said something like six to thirty million ppl are rooted, and the same one who said everyone needs to remove the tbh tethering hack NOWZZZ!! because verizon is going after ppl. I look at p3 the same way I look at droid-life...like someone said you say enough things one of them is bound to be true...

Just trying to get hits on his twitter and mdw...
 
From Twitter,

P3Droid: Put your money down folks..you can relax. The nexus won't be here soon. Start planning for end of year purchases. That is the new word on the street.


This would be total, utter failure on Verizon's part. What a stupid, stupid plan.
Why is this a surprise? This was confirmed last week on Fox News when Nick DiCarlo, VP of Product Planning for Samsung, indicated it was being released "later this year" NOT later this November as he displayed the Nexus. True, i would appreciate it sooner rather than later, but it was reported last week and picked up by numerous websites.

Either way, I resigned myself to a release date of between 11/17 and the end of December.

I can't claim this as my own theory, as it is a product of discussions with another member... but it just seems odd that P3 has all this "inside info" but how closely it supports the kind if info that VZW wants us to have (i.e. nexus won't be everything you want it to be or even that VZW won't get it, buy the bionic; rush out and buy a new phone or you will lose your unlimited data plans; get rid of the tethering app your you will get caught; it goes on and on). It's almost like a "you leak what we want you to leak, and nothing else, and we will make sure to keep leaking you stuff and getting you page hits" type deal. Or maybe I'm just a conspiracy theorist.

This ^

Really, he can post pics, etc., yet hasn't mentioned bugs. That makes little sense. For a guy who seems to get off on sharing information no one else can share, you'd think he would mention any bugs big enough to cause a delay in the launch of this phone. Instead, we just have him reporting from one of his sources about a delay - yet he gives no personal insight into the situation, which serves to sort of invalidate the very same rumors he's perpetuating.

Also, we're 99.9% sure the phone is shipping with an 1850mAh battery, yet his only has a 1700mAh battery - so he's testing essentially old hardware. Whether that actually matters, we don't know, but I don't really take him as someone who is always credible. The fact that his phone isn't a release version of the phone is enough to make me wonder if he's really as in-touch as he claims to be. Black_Man_X is another story. P3Droid has been wrong on many occasions (recently about saying "VZW isn't getting the Nexus"), however, Black_Man_X (Mobile Panda) hasn't misinformed anyone at any time.

Also, watch for the dynamic between P3Droid and Black_Man_X. Usually, when something is true, Black_Man_X will RT P3's tweets, or will comment saying he agrees. He hasn't done so in this case that I can tell. In my mind, that casts a bit of doubt over the legitimacy of P3's claims. Still, he COULD be right - and it could be delayed. I don't want to believe it, and I'm coming from an emotional place in regard to how I feel about the phone (because I want it to be released yesterday... lol), so it's harder for me to be objective about the facts. Trying hard to be rational, there really could be circumstances which have caused the phone to be delayed. I guess we'll know if it's launching on Friday... on Friday! There's mounting evidence that this will be the case, but nothing is true until it happens.
 
Either way, can Verizon just state some DEFINITIVE RELEASE INFO already?! I would personally have a much easier time waiting patiently if I didn't have a buyer for my phone that has been waiting along with me...If I lose the sale over this silence, then I will be pissed - I bet Google is!
