The guy said the Bionic will probably release with Ice Cream sandwich and the Prime will probably be the first to launch with it. Makes perfect sense to me.

Wait, the Bionic will be released with ICS? But the Prime will be the first with ICS? So now the Prime is coming out before the Bionic??

I'm not sure where they went: it was either the video CK posted or Tesusenoh's post... but I have dropped some serious brain cells in the last few minutes :p

I apologize for that. Here, watch this. It'll make things better.

ICS?

4863


So, if it's ICS, then the Prime must be coming before the Bionic. And if the Bionic is coming in September... then we should be seeing the Prime very soon.
 
So when will they announce release date of Bionic?

A week before release date?
2 weeks before release date?
3 Weeks before release date?

What is the normal announce time period for Verizon?

because if it is usually announced 3 weeks before, then that prob means Bionic isnt coming September 8th
 
And, of course, we *never* do that in these forums.

Nope, no sirree, never, ever, *EVAH* do that here.

Not even on Sundays. Even when we're going out to get our own ICSs.
 
My guess is that with an imminent announcement of the SGSII coming that VZW is gonna quietly open it up for us to pre-order around Aug 29....
 
Yep it's always a silent release. Leaks, leaks leaks and one day, there it is on their site to be ordered.

Yea... i dont know why they do that.. If it was upto me, i would announce it like at least a month early to stop people from buying other phones and wait up for my product.

Only thing i can think of is because of carriers. Other people not buying phones and waiting will be bad for them obviously...

Yes, I agree. Announcing to early stops customers from buying other Verizon phones as well.

Also, Verizon dosn't announce a phones release date until they are virtually assured (99.99+%) that they can release the phone on that date. If they announce to early something could happen that might delay the release date. Just think of the posts here if Verizon announced a date 30+ days in the future and then the boat from China sank and umpteen million phones went to the bottom? I can see it now, " Wah wah, they promised, yada yada, class action, blah blah, going to AT&T, whine.... etc."

Here another leak, (Not official) from UnWiredView:

Everyday I wake up and I go to phandroid.com HOPING to see the official announcement!

And then I come here to double check.....one day I won't be disappointed.

Lol. yea, but i think it has more to do with carriers not wanting people holding out for a certain phones. and i doubt phones get shipped which will take upto 2-3 months from china. ships are slow....

Why were the commercial threads locked?

Regardless, that does look like Natalie Portman at the second half of the 18th second.

Does anyone know if the sword will be sold as an accessory?
