You just bumped a post that's 7 months old. Big nono.
Welllllll... sometimes ill-advised, especially if it's just to post a link to a Puma Shoes store or Viagra discount source in Canada.
No biggie here this time, imo.

One must always beware of using one's mad face on an unnecessary basis, else one would risk others' good will towards said one.

Someone over at androicentral is saying that Verizon is "up to something" on August 18. I know it's flimsy, but he seems to be an "insider", and I'm thinking it "might" be the "official" announcement on the "official" release date.

That's because every single thing I hear coming from anyone regarding Verizon or the Bionic at this point is total, 100% BS until concretely proven otherwise.
And just like that, in the blink of an eye, we are back off topic.

I've always taken the "
" to be a very negative smiley. I don't think your use of quotations warranted that negative of a response. In fact, I think you used just the right amount given how unreliable the leaks about this device have been.

Long as there's no hope of getting back on topic right away, I'd just add that I was surprised to find that scare quotes could be given w/double quotes; I always thought they just used singles.

It is quite negative, isn't it? And I must say, big baby, I appreciate your support of my disdain for all rumors regarding Verizon and Bionic. Yes, thanks indeed, my good man.

Don't you mean the "endless" "speculation"?
Does seem that folks are a bit on edge. Lighten guys. It's not a matter of life and death ... it's much more serious than that.

As most folks are guys here, you may not have intimate knowledge of this particular phenomenon, but y'all remind me of how sometime in the last month of pregnancy your physical limit is reached. I'll spare you the details, but trust me there comes a point where you believe the baby will NEVER come. Each day is like a lifetime and you just kind of give up to misery.Don't you mean the "endless" "speculation"?

Well, let me assure you that a) the baby does eventually get born and b) within the next several weeks those of you who want it will have the Bionic in your hands.
With that said, do you think that August 18 is the announcement date or the release date? How far ahead do carriers usually announce? I remember seeing ads for the Droid like the day before it was released (and they worked; I was immediately sold). Do they usually announce a few weeks out from a release?

Well, I'm not sure what happened with the Droid because I was out of the country for about a year and a half, and I actually came back the same weekend it was out. My wife and I needed cell phones since we are planning on staying in the US until 2012 or so, so we went to Verizon and picked out the phones we liked best. I hadn't even heard of the Droid. I was wondering why the store was so full; we had to wait like 45 minutes just to talk to someone.
Having said that, I strongly believe that the August 18 will merely be an announcement that the Bionic is coming. They will probably announce that pre-orders will begin September 1, and that it will be available in stores on the 8th.
I have no actual info to back that up; it's just a gut feeling.

Well, I got curious and I looked up the D1 announcement date. It was 10/29/09...two weeks before D1 was released. So it looks like bluefire may be right.
Edit: Sorry, that is it was released one week later, on November 6. I got it mixed up with the actual day I bought the phone, which was November 14th.
Droid Announcement Day is Here!

Same thing can be said about the closing on a house.

Buyer's remorse sucks.
Buyer's remorse on a house would suck, but that is not what i was equating my last statement to.
Waiting on the due date of the baby = waiting on the closing of a house = waiting on the release of a new whatever....
