The "New" New Phone Rumor Mill

I see what you did thar........

Update from Twitter, it sounds like our very own Miami has got his hands on the Prime. He said he will do a comparison between it and 3 other phones and then post the article on MyDroidworld next Sat. Keep a lookout for that!

Next Saturday?! I don't want a comparison, I already know it's going to be better than every phone up-to-date. I just want to know the true specs, UI and whether it's a true Google phone or not... the suspense is killing me! Lol.

Yeah, me too. But hey, if he really does have the Prime, surely in such a comparison, he would mention the major specs...right!? I wonder if the next Sat part is a hint that the phone will be officially announced by then......

Hrmm ... I've never exactly tried a cheeze ice cream sandwich, and I don't intend to any time soon... I'm more a big fan of vanilla ones!

I don't understand why everyone who supposedly has their hands on a nexus device is such a jerk about it... 1 guy has it, but only releases the music app and google plus, another guy has it, but only wants to write a comparison of it to other devices, another guy has it and makes a video (which is good) but doesn't even take the time to show off the device itself... it is like they are following a "guide to incremental leaks" written by Samsung and Google.
 
They aren't being jerks about it. They have signed NDA's. Non disclosure agreements. If they leak any actual pics or true information about the device then they will NEVER see another test device again. At best. Depending how much info they leak or how they leak it, they could even enter into the realm of legal troubles with the companies they sign NDA's with. So no, they aren't being jerks, they are doing what they are obligated and bound to.
 
Oh and as far as that video, there are still several things indicating that very well may not be the actual Nexus but another phone running the software that will be on it.

I agree. People want to know indefinitely what is under the hood seeing how there have been two different specs lists. It would be nice to know the model number and the specs to go with that model number. I know if I had my hands on the Prime nothing would be stopping me from getting the true specs out, showing off it's true potentials and answering... well all of the unanswered questions that we've all had. We just want concrete evidence!!!

Check above for answers to this question about why they can't release info. ;)
 
And trust me, I'm as frustrated as y'all. But here is one other thing to remember. Even the devices the testers have CAN change. Just because they are out in the wild now does not mean they will be the final product. They are just that, test devices. It's not uncommon to see differences in final devices from what the testers are holding, so us getting the specs doesn't necessarily guarantee that is what we will see in the stores.

I understand that. I guess I am just letting my frustrations get the best of me. It is just crazy to me how many leaks and "in-the-know" people there are and how I feel like I know exactly squat about the phone that will be releasing from Verizon.
 
Understand completely. Also remember one other thing, the phones some people are getting may even be bound for different carriers. It's frustrating as hell, believe me, I know. I'm far from patient. I'm just going to keep faith that we'll see a good phone coming down the line in November.

Ok, make that two valid points. You want some butter cause you're on a roll. :p
