Hi all, new poster here. I've been lurking for quite some time, though. A couple of thoughts. Is is just me or does it seem ridiculous that the media outlets haven't picked up the bomb yet? I'm glad they replaced the flaming red back with something less....red. I'm still digging the red accents though. I'm wondering about the optical trackpad. I haven't used one and was wondering what the benefits of having it are if the touchscreen is super sensitive.

In their defense there isn't much to pick up on. NKT seems credible but its not as if similar types of post can be seen everywhere about every phone and turn out to be false. But if someone emails them to BGR or something I'm sure it will get mentioned.

Being that this is still a testers unit, it could be possible that the CPU is underclocked on purpose for testing. I believe that was said earlier in the thread when we heard it possibly has an 850mhz processor. But either way, if this thing is "blazingly fast" and can take some heavy multitasking with ease...i don't care what the final specs say.

Exactly. As long as you dont load it down with a bunch of apps the Eris runs fine at 528mhz. Though I'm sure it will launch with 1ghz just for the sake of bragging rights.
 
I'm absolutely dying here. Work blocks the tinyurl pics so I can't see any of them. Any chance someone could PM me the original pic and the follow up ones?

Edit: Got 'em. Thanks, Mykpfsu!!!

NKT, any outside chance you can set throttle the processor speed? Android may not permit this. I know the Omnia II actually allowed you to throttle processor speed between peformance and power saver with a few settings in between.

I just returned a Droid on the 30th day; I had no problems paying the $35 restocking fee knowing that something(s) sweet is about to come to VZW.
With today's news from NKT, I'm glad I did return it.

--First post, been lurking for quite a while but today's news warranted a registration & post. Good work on everyone's part who's participated in this thread.

I got my Droid from Amazon and they dont mention anything about a restocking fee.

Could this be done via a 3rd party app? So you could set up different profiles based on the performance vs. battery life that you want/need? Just a thought....don't go making any money off my idea. ;)
 
Well I just tore up my corporate discount for AT&T and am definitely not going to the dark side (iPhone). N1 with it's hardware issues is also getting pushed to the bottom of the list for this bad boy. I think I may start camping out tomorrow. I can work remotely :D

I'm pretty sure these settings are buried in restricted code that is only available after rooting.
 
NKT, would you happen to have any idea as to once the word "Verizon" makes it to the hardware (the new black backplate), what's the lead time til it releases?

Yeah, you're right. I forget not everybody is F5-ing this forum every 10 secons...

If you are looking for someone to turn your idea into an actual app you should check out appubator.com | let's hatch a new mobile app They will give you a percentage (I think 30) of the revenue made after they actually develop the app. Heard about them the other day.
 
So anything new? I didnt have time to read this whole thing so I stopped around page 80? Nothing new right?

:D

Actually, I just came on here today and saw the last pages where people were thanking this NKT guy and my first thought was newsradio part 2, so then i went back and read all of his posts and found all the legit info he had.

So glad to hear the news, glad to see the pics, and hopefully this phone comes out closer to April than May.
 
NKT said:
Beginning of the month.

I can comfortably say it's not going to launch until April at the very earliest.

I can't thank you enough, pal. I think I speak for all of us here when I say that your information today has been nothing short of phenomenal and now we're all anticipating having this phone now more than ever before! Again, thanks for everything that you bring to the table!!! :)
 
NKT said:
Trust me, I wish this was already out...

Tell you what. Schedule another hands on but have 3-5 devices there. Me and a couple of my homies will come through there like those guys at the poker tournament (I will have the machete) and take all 5. For your services you can get one. Deal?

Did you exchange it for something? I got back my full 247 (bought Droid on a 1 year contract) back when I returned my droid and hence did not pay a restocking fee.

It was an additional line to our account, so no exchange, just a straight up return. Now that you mention this, I just looked at my checking account and confirmed that I was refunded the full amount :D even better!

Thanks

No problem, just making sure you didn't get screwed. Hell my Droid even had a few dings on it and still no hassle from Verizon about it.
