Now back on topic,

the Javitts center goes from 34th street up to 38nd Street and from 11th Avenue to 12th Avenue/West Street So it can't be that. By saying west of the Javitts it could be anywhere after 11th avenue since the main entrance is on 11th. So any of the properties on the north side of 42nd st from 11th and 12th avenue. South side is a construction site near 11th avenue and closer to 12th avenue is the new Silverstein properties, but looking at their website there isn't anything like a hall or space large enough for the media and a movie theater type screen. If he really means west of the Javitts, then you hit the piers, the Circle Line Cruise and a bit further north the Intrepid sea and air museum.

Although if i am not mistaken there are a few TV station buildings within that area.

Why is it that we can not know the place exactly? It's not like we are going to crash the party or anything...Well, I won't anyways...But seriously, why?

I predict an average of 4 pages per day, which would put it at 228 by the time the NYC May 12 event comes around. After that, I'm predicting double that average.

That is only assuming no "breaking" news gets leaked into the wild until May 12.

I had to go through about 15 pages of 50 posts each to catch up to today's stuff since Friday afternoon. So that estimate looks dead on...
 
well idk if we get sold info alot of the posts will stop because thats what half of this is is just us going around and around about when this phone is gonna come out. so we will have big outbreak then it should trail off after we know more

I agree why? But at least we should find out more about the price and maybe even more surprises to expect. :)

There is always some nutcase who will try to crash if they know the place...then try to walk out with an EVO. (then probably try to sell it to Gizmodo)

So between the nut jobs and other corporate espionage types, they don't want any riffraff there.
 
You ask me like I know where its being held at. shoot, i wish i knew. but Nope i am only second guessing the latest info that its on the west side of 42 st past the javits center.
Unless its at the AMC theaters between 8th and 9th avenue but that puts it 2 avenues east of the javits area.

i agree, the secrecy is bothersome, cause its not like anyone can get in without a pass. Unless they are doing it to avoid us members from being out side with big signs saying, LET MY EVO GO. lol

TS out

I was directing the question to the general public not you directly, but anyways, does the invitation say something like: "Don't share this with your peers, especially from Android Forums since they are a bunch of evo-nuts and we don't want them there". Because that I would understand...:D

EDIT - I just read it and it actually includes a private screening of the movie Prince of Persia, so it must be in a theater...FYI Sprint - we have theaters here in Rochester, NY too, so get busy and mail my invitation...You know what, I'll be right back...<<running to check my mail to see if I have invitation already>>>

then try to walk out with an EVO. (then probably try to sell it to Gizmodo)

lol...At least your name will be famous, just in case you don't believe me, ask Gray Powell...

I appreciate everything you've posted here, since you're basically the lifeblood of the thread, but good lord did you take my comment out of context.

I really didn't expect this kind of OMG GET OUT reception for coming in and saying that I value all of the info in this thread and wish some of the extreme fluff that has nothing to do with the phone in any capacity would go away. God forbid.

I agree..Bill and Super are great and all..But shouldn't have jumped on you. Especially with Bill at one point not wanting fluff and championing staying on topic. How often you post is irrelevant. If you don't post but view the thread/forum you're still part of the supposed family and still one of us. I could do without the fluff as well, I visit this thread more than once a day yet still hard to keep up and an incredible time suck. I do understand that things can get too big to control though.

Like the Evo guy that keeps posting youtube videos on why Sprint should give him an EVO? LOL

ts go as a doctor and have someone fake a heart attack and make off with all the evos for us

Uncle Dan did say that one of the uses of 4G and/or Evo (don't remember which) was for medical uses. What better way to test that than a fake doctor helping a fake patient to demonstrate the uses of the device or network. And what a better gift from Sprint to our fake doctor for helping in a miraculous recovery of a sure death of a the fake patient than an Evo...:cool:

Be back later, now don't go all crazy and have 20 pages of posts between now and my return, yeah, I know wishful thinking...

This was Clock's first post and this is what I said to him:
Welcome Clock. I appreciate your comments and I agree with some of your issues, but I also think you're a little critical for a first time poster. For example, you're dinging us for being off topic, but you bring up the Incredible, the iPhone and release dates, but you don't back it up with anything new. So how is that not off-topic? If you have some good information you'd like to share that would make this a better place, then great. I'd love to hear what you have to say. We would especially like something nice and juicy that we can sink our teeth into.

Did the guy piss me off? Yes, but I was trying to be cordial. In my opinion, he had a lot of balls coming in here on his first post acting like he owned the place telling us how to do things. If you guys think I overreacted, I'll send him apology. There's only been a couple of people that I saw as (potential) trouble makers from the get-go in this thread and he was one of them.
 
Just found this site and I have to say I'm loving it. Thanks to everyone for providing all the EVOlicious information! Haha! About the release dates....

May 12th - NY event a little info gets released
May 17th LA event (could of sworn I read that somewhere) a little more info released
May 22nd pre-orders begin
June 6th (about 2 weeks later) - release date for BB
June 13th - release date for Sprint

What do you guys think? Possible? Sorry if all this has been posted before or I'm wrong about a date but my brain is fried from all the reading to get caught up. :D
