Well its about time for me to go as well now. I will no longer comment about shit for devices or Android and you can say Thanks to the **** head who has chosen to ruin a good thing for the ENTIRE android community. I have tried to help and tell people FACTS not sling bullshit lie so many so. Yet someone has decided to start a nightmare and I will not put up with the SHIT. Hope you all enjoy your wait for the GNex!!!!!

But what difference does it make if you get the phone but can't activate it? :confused:

Would I like to activate the phone immediately? Of course, but I'd still be doing back flips if I got the phone now and had to wait. As soon as VZW flipped the switch I would activate it.

In the meantime I could play with it in wifi mode and I could live with my old Droid for phone calls.
 
if it's true that p3 is leaving because of leak crack down. I have a sliver more hope for friday, if the Third Reich(Verizon) really wants complete control.


makes the whole thing feel dirty to me though. Not cool Verizon
 
While I wouldn't wish an investigation on anyone, especially a developer, you know what they say about karma...

P3's constant trolling, name-calling, and attitude are likely what got him into trouble. And if this is an investigation and its because of Nexus info leaking, he did that to himself. For months he posts on Twitter about how he has someone on the inside, and he teases for Twitter followers, gets everyone in a tizzy, and for what? All for attention. Well, craving attention is likely what got him into trouble.

Nobody to blame but himself.
 
ok taking a step back wasn't there a leaked pic on one of the android development sites that was taken down promptly. This is truly starting to look like a gearing up of VZW wireless putting the screws down on these leaks. They have completely tightened up their website and sealed all leaks except for a few CSR ones here and there. The speculation on why is anyone's guess but to me it is obvious VZW decided to drop a hammer.
 
Okay, I told you all there would be good news at 8 PM EST and here it is! While it may not be good news for you personally, if this doesn’t give you a warm and fuzzy feeling all over, then I’m not sure what will… other than maybe a Nexus in your hand :rolleyes:

Well folks, we did it – thanks to YOU!

In this season of giving, I think we can all agree that we have received a great deal of enjoyment, entertainment and information from what started as a single Pre-Release post on August 23rd. We are now past 68,000 posts in this thread, the receiving is just about over… and it’s high time we gave something back.

A quick disclaimer and apology to those who wanted to participate and would have, but didn’t know about it: I am profusely sorry. But please understand that we were somewhat restricted in who we could contact and how. So if we managed to do all this without almost anybody knowing… then, actually, it was a raging success.

Let's face it: Moderating a forum is tough work. Moderating an EPIC forum - with tens of thousands of posts and over a MILLION views is really tough work!

And while we would never intentionally want to slight EarlyMon, OTD or any of the other Mods in the thread, I think almost all of us can agree that STEVEN58 has been our Main Moderator and go-to guy from post #1 of this record breaking thread.

No amount of hitting that “Thanks” button can ever adequately show our deep appreciation for the time and extraordinary effort Steven has put into moderating us, keeping us updated, keeping us (mostly) on topic, and keeping us off each other’s throats.

(Except OTD, who actually enjoys being at other people’s throats… but that’s a different story… :p )

Steven58 has done such an incredible job as lead Moderator in this monumental and record-shattering thread that many of us did the unthinkable. We snuck around. We PM’d one another. We got RARE permission from Rob & Phases to do something that, to my knowledge, has never been done… and may never happen again. So, with further ado…

Steven? Boss?

A bunch of us chipped in and we’re buying you your Galaxy Nexus!

:eek:

:D :D :D :D :D :D

That’s right! We messaged one another, whispered behind your back, scrounged up spare change from our sofas, and contributed to the cause. And we gathered up enough money to get you your beloved Nexus!

And while I may have done the legwork and gathered the dimes and quarters, I can’t take credit for the idea. You can blame a kind-hearted Premium Member named jruther2 for that one. He approached me, I approached Phases, who consulted with Rob and gave us rare permission to proceed under limited conditions. Conditions were met and our objective was achieved!

Anyway Steven, your Nexus is officially PAID FOR! Whoo hoooooo

Thanks to ALL our Moderators for doing an excellent job in maintaining this thread… but the trophy has to go to Steven, our head coach and Main Man!

So back to our regularly scheduled programming of joy and cheer for everyone. And just to make sure I include everyone THIS time:

Merry non-descript Winter Solsti-Christma-Kwaanz-ukkah! :D

going on my best guess someone ratted out who/however p3 was getting the devices, and now a big NDA shitstorm is coming someones way

Yep, I have a feeling that's what is happening. :( And it does kind of jive with the 9th release date if VZW is retaliating for them leaking info...but I'm still thinking the 9th is like a 1% chance :(
