The opinion of a blogger who loves his iphone doesn't effect me lol.
Amen my friend!

Let alone a blogger who has not had the opportunity to use either one, let alone to see either one in person.
He must think that pitting one unreleased Android super phone against the other will keep readers from realizing how the iPhone 4S actually stacks up (or fails to stack up) against either one of these Android phones.
Good Point!
Would the just release the Vigor.

Yeah my thunderbolt on 3G is faster than my friends EVO 3D on 4G
Probably, but the Thunderbolt just dropped to $150.. so somethings coming, probably this month if I had to guess..
Exactly, his SOLE reason for choosing the Nexus over the Vigor is ICS, not that ICS isn't going to have some improvements over GB but that isn't a make or break thing probably.
Besides "Sense/No sense" is a matter of preference. I'm personally a "sense" person and I would suspect the differences between Sense 3.5 and Vanilla ICS will be fairly minor from the "performance" stand point(with the exception of the soft keys). The big thing is going to be the "feel" of the UI which is a opinion thing.
And the TB bashing while acurate ignores the fact that the TB was the very first LTE phone and there always growing pains...

I'm currently a TB owner and haven't experienced any of the issues people bash it for...or I guess if I have, I haven't noticed or been bothered. I actually love the phone and I'm only going to the Vigor because my wife wants my TB. So, I suppose if I already love the TB and the Vigor is supposed to be better considering the TB is viewed as crud, I imagine I'm going to be head over heels for this new phone.

The 13th is looking less likely. So maybe the other date of the 20th. But who knows? So much hush hush on this phone so far.
Verizon had been extremely tight lipped about this phone (and the nexus), this time around.
My "guess" would be because their trying to push the "older" phones and clear out stock. If you "knew" everything thing about the Vigor and that it was coming out in in Oct. would you buy a Bionic? That's why I think they're keeping it quiet for now. The less us "techs" know the less can filter down to the "masses"

Darn good point right there
True.
Trying to recall though..I thought with the Incredible they did pre-orders before it was actually released? Not sure how the TB was listed but are they likely to just have it go on sale say the 20th, but not really offere any pre-orders?

This does make sense...I think it's weird that the leaks have gone completely dark though...not even an MAP list...
Good point, the Incredible did have a pre-order. I'm not sure about the Bolt. Neither of those phones were replacing anything though.
The Vigor is supposedly replacing the Bolt, so this might explain the different approaches.

I'm mostly on the Nexus and RAZR threads, and I'll tell you everyone is saying the same thing about the lack of leaks this time around. There has been some supposing that the Vigor, RAZR, Revo2, and the Prime were all contenders for being chosen as the next Nexus, which is why they are all coming out at pretty much the same time. What do you all think?
I think there may be some cement shoe clauses in the current VZ NDAs!

I remember around the time that the first NP rumors started swirling that one of the reports essentially claimed that all the major manufacturers had submitted projects to be considered for the NP, and that those that were not chosen would still make it to market, with some going to each of the major carriers. IIRC, that rumor put all phones in contention launching around the same time (this holiday season), and all with ICS. It's fair to say that all will likely get ICS at some point, NP will be first and likely exclusive for a while. All look like they will be great phones, and yes, spec wise, all look remarkably similar.
I think you might be right about the NDA's, except Steven58 seems to haven found someone willing to spill at least some of the beans about NP/Razr/Bionic...if only we could find some more info on the Vigor...

I hadn't heard that history, thanks!
Verizon employees are paying attention to the Nexus thread because it's so fast moving, enthusiastic, and massive. The source(s) only jumped in when folks were getting over hyped about one rumor or another, and only gave enough info to calm folks down while we wait for the phone.
Y'all need to throw a hissy fit and then maybe you'll get some leak love.

Lol. We have some familiar peeps from the original, epic, Dinc thread...hissy fits / drama can probably be arranged
On the other hand, this group seems a bit more calm and focused- we'll see what happens when the first "the Vigor failed QA and has been scrapped" rumor starts spreading
Guess we will just wake up one morning and see it listed on Verizon's website.
Verizon....TODAY...my order is waiting.

I recall when the Incredible was being release, the following website was a good indicator of things to come, anyone know if this is still used:

Sorry guys, I'm really interested in the Vigor as well, but I've been so caught up in the Prime flood that I haven't read everything here. I know what specs are expected, but has anyone heard anything about a release date yet?
It seems as though it's gotten kind of dead on the Vigor front. . .

Yeah, that's been the problem. I think it's been 2-3 weeks since ANYTHING surfaced on the Vigor. The last ones were the pics in the wild and someone on here saw that there were some accessories on Verizon's site that were for the "Vigor by HTC". Since then, nothing, nada, zip.
But like you said the Prime is leaking faster than an atlantic cruise ship after a collision with an iceberg. Too soon?

Best Buy was pre-selling the Thunderbolt and then they got the release dates all jacked up. Some people made out with like $100 or $200 in gift cards because they complained about Best Buy changing the release date. Some people really made out with a good deal on that phone. I still wouldn't pre order from Best Buy since they seem to overcharge for everything.
Livewire was also a company that had pre-orders available. It's kind of funny seeing such anticipation for this phone like the Thunderbolt. I just hope this phone is that much better than the Thunderbolt.
