P3 Says Won't Be Releasing Soon

[OneTenderRebel]

The source is a reliable source that the information is obtained from, hence the ICS apps that were dropped. You are correct in assuming that he is only passing along information that the source is relaying. But as most people know, what starts at one end of the line can be something totally different by the end. My question to everyone is do you want to know all the information or only that what makes us happy. I for one would like to know all information.... just say'n

haha honestly that is a great question! Do we really want to know or would rather just be surprised, depending on the day I feel both ways sometimes.

I'm all for early information if it's accurate. Causing hysteria in the community is something I don't particulary like though.

Rumors with out showing proof is what gets to people.

I honestly believe that this is confirmation that the Nexus will drop by Black Friday.
I don't know P3, but I think he is working freelance for Verizon which is why he seems to have access to certain things before the rest.
I came to the conclusion after deep thought as I don't like to point fingers, but I think this sealed it for me.
P3 is one of the main thrusts behind the complete scam rumors back when we were all told that if we didn't purchase a new phone by such and such date, we would be forced to pay for tiered data.
I believe that the rumor was consciously put out to cause mass confusion and bring in huge sales numbers. The rumor was clearly known by Verizon and yet they dragged their feet to correct said rumor. And guess what? The last day the rumor stated that we could avoid tiered data was one of the best in Verizon's history.
I was able to get the correct information and avoid a fear motivated purchase, yet no one believed me when I posted this information. Riddle me this Batman, why was a complete nobody like myself able to get the correct information and P3 couldn't?
Again, I have no idea who P3 is and therefore I base my conclusions on his actions and his odd ability to get his hands on unreleased code and such. He is oddly always one of the first, and always is a tad to coincidental for my taste.

I stand by what I have posted and if you desire, feel free to criticize but bring some supporting information.

Once again, the information passed is what is relayed. And if I remember correctly, dont quote me on this since that was too long ago for me, was that if you were getting a new device, new line you would have to pay for tiered data was what was said. Which proved to be accurate... I believe that people have far better things to do than just create rumors to stir up bullsh*t. I know I have better things to do than that. Im sure P3 does not like all the hate he gets by statements made. I think that goes for the majority of us. Im sure there are a few out there that feed off of it but I can tell you he is not one of them.

The non bloated phones will always lose Mr. Lebowski, the non bloated phones will always lose!

It is very odd that VZW is keeping this phone pretty much on the complete hush other than a generic sign up page.

And the fact that google is releasing AOSP ICS today, but no word on the Nexus. Odd.

How much early information is really accurate? Take a look at all posts in regards to new handsets coming out? Im willing to bet that most information obtained in said post is based from a source that is not revealed nor should those types of sources ever be revealed. The only true information is when the documents are leaked stating information. So basically what you're saying is you don't want to know unless there are pics or documentation backing up said data. Hmmmm, interesting.

[FONT=r_ansi][FONT=r_ansi]From Droid-life: Just heard from one of our regulars, and they have been told that the device has been pushed back. They are expecting the next round of testing to be completed by November 19. Not sure exactly what that means for November 21 release date.

Just for the record, that wasn't the quote/rumor at all. It was that if you upgrade your phone after a stated date, you will be forced into tiered data. When the reality was that any owner of a smartphone would be grandfathered in and keep the unlimited data. Big difference between that statement and the one you recall.
As for your comment about having better things to do than spread false rumors, if you read what I posted, is inherently incorrect. I stated that I believe that P3 gets a very large benefit from these activities. Like pre release of source code, which allows him to be the only game in town and I am pretty sure that you pay P3 in some shape or form.
Also he may receive other financial benefits as well.
I never ever said I hate P3, I merely presented my lack of trust in his information. Hating someone who I have never met seems silly. I only distrust him based on history.
Hate would be a wasted emotion, as it usually is.
So again I will welcome all disagreements, but bring some factual supports.

You mean like the Generic Sign up page of the Bionic and RAZR and every other recent phone?

lol, btw, i find this hilarious. They obviously want to release it but this WILL crash their servers. Do you know how many devs are trying to get their hands on post gingerbread source? It looks like they wernt trying to let out the word yet but now im reading it on engadget so..... words out. Servers which are hurt from before, are on temp servers now. Haha i hope cyanogen team gets it before it crashes.

i guess they reallt want to sell the razr and rezound. what annoys me is why they wait till now to buy 3 of the top phones when they could just have spread it out. i believe they know what they are doing though. gratz on 2600 posts btw

This is the exact problem. They very well may be requoting P3.
The net is an echo chamber, when looking for other reports to confirm a rumors truth, often times these are merely all originating from a single source. But due to the pervasive effort to get the word out on one's site immediately, fact checking falls to the wayside.

I could probably debate this topic all day but I am not going to. I never said you hated him, I loosely used the terminology "hate thread" because of all the bs I read through. What does monetary gain from anything have to do with the topic we are discussing nor will I comment on it. I can see your point of view and can respect it, though I have a different one, so I will leave it at that.
