Actually here is a workaround to the countdown issue. Upon refresh the image will update with the correct amount of time left until the announcement.

Mods feel free to put this in the OP.

Clever. :)

Ok, it's winged in there for now, I'll let Steven refine that and update as we go forward.

Huh, the post entry form has a button to wrap PHP tags around text. What can you do w/that?

I've never tried them, assuming that they're just acting as a special quoting tool, just like the CODE or HTML tags do. (As I recall)
 
yeah i just noticed:

this event takes place @ 4:00 am, so i can't watch it live, because i have to go to school @ 7:00 am and i need some sleep... DAMN IT!

Meh... Sleep is overrated! I've pulled many all nighters! lol :D
 
Finally, we have a new date! I feel like I can focus on other boring, more productive stuff now. I wonder how much they're going to reveal. Considering it's no longer in the U.S., I would think they would have more of a global focus rather than the Verizon Galaxy Prime. Then again, if Verizon's is coming first they definitely need to advertise it. The 18th/19th may not be early enough for the rumored Oct. 27th release date, but is definitely within scope of the also-rumored Nov. 3rd.

Yeah I use those a lot -- they work really well.

FYI, the website for them is: Pending Counters

No way they can announce a Verizon exclusive phone in Hong Kong without announcing it for the entire world as well. So I'm placing my bets on a subsidized exclusive for Verizon, allowing non VZer's to purchase the phone outright subsidy free.

Maybe that will mean the GSM / Verizon phone is exactly the same? *shrug*
 
Apologies: I've been busy at work, today.. I just got caught up. I'm gonna PM our person and ask if there's anything we can get the low down on. Perhaps we've drained all the info there is?

So we've narrowed down your source...we know it must be a person....any takers?
 
Now I'm hoping for an October 27th release date! Perhaps they'll announce on the 18th, open up pre-orders on the 20th and release on the 27th.

yeah, i usually i would agree... but i write an examn on the next day... and tell me if this is a good scenario:


4:00 am - Nexus Prime / Galaxy Nexus Announcement
4:30 am - I'm either disappointed or happy as hell
5:00 am - i still can't sleep, 'cause i have to debate with you guys
6:00 am - same scenario
6:15 am - i have to go to the bathroom, have breakfirst and go to school
7:55 am - i'm writin a 4-lessons-long examn
7:56 am - i can't focus, coz all i can think about is the NP/GN
11:40 am - i succesfully failed in my examination :D
~ 1 month later my parents kill me when they see my examn :/

NOOOOOOO, my father just told me that i won't have internet some days next week... [our internet provider has got some problems... :@]

pls god i'm praying... LET ME HAVE INTERNET ON WEDNESDAY SO THAT I CAN CHECK ON THE UNPACKED EVENT! :(
 
The PHP tags allow you to paste PHP code into a post and it formats / color codes the code correctly if this was a PHP troubleshooting forum for example. Makes it easier to read.

I've never tried them, assuming that they're just acting as a special quoting tool, just like the CODE or HTML tags do. (As I recall)

Aha, you're both right, it's a prettyprinter:

PHP:
<?php
function roll_dice($number, $sides, $values = false) {
    $dice = array();
    for ($i = 0; $i < $number; $i++) {
        $dice[] = rand(1, $sides);
    }

    if ($values) {
        return $dice;
    } else {
        return array_sum($dice);
    }
}
$roll_3d6 = roll_dice(3, 6);
echo "<pre>Dice roll = {$roll_3d6}\n";

$rm_stats = roll_dice(10, 100, true);
print_r($rm_stats);
echo '</pre>';
?>
 
Cash in hand (uh, account) and ready to go! That is, as soon as it hits AT&T, which hopefully is at the same time as everyone else. I don't even care if AT&T subsidizes it, as I don't have an upgrade available anyway.
 
I wouldn't count on much info, though, as I am thinking we've exhausted our source's knowledge. Welp.. PM's sent and we wait.

On a more serious note, is anybody somewhat worried about this event being in Hong Kong? This phone is supposed to be a VZW exclusive, so why would it be announced in Hong Kong? We know a GSM version exists because it cleared the FCC, so will that be the one that we see? I would bet on it. Then the question is, will we see or even hear about the VZW version at this event? I'm starting to doubt it, and if we don't, when will it be announced? VZW is holding a conference with Motorola on the 18th, and I don't know if I see them stealing the thunder from that for this phone that has supposedly frustrated them because Google and Samsung have controlled the announcements and marketing (or lack thereof).
 
Now I'm hoping for an October 27th release date! Perhaps they'll announce on the 18th, open up pre-orders on the 20th and release on the 27th.

@black_man_x's poem hinted that it would be Nov. 3. That was the date that was agreed upon for quite some time. I have no idea where the 27th came from, but if I remember correctly, vz_wired stated clearly that it would not come out on the 27th.

The latest leak, which a number of people jumped on, again says Nov. 3, to which BMX seemed annoyed because he had given that date weeks prior.

I'd bet we see it on Nov. 3.
