Really, there was never any reason to believe the SGN has 16 GB besides that stupid mistake on Google's website. All indications point to 32 GB and it's even been confirmed by that one picture of the "Usage" screen on the phone. So I don't think that was ever a problem to begin with, we just thought it was because Google made a mistake.
it says on the bottom, the specs were taken from industry speculation as of 11/1/11
Orlando Bull just clarified the statement by saying they took liberty with the date 11/21. So assuming that they were to be held until 11/21 is just that- an assumption.

Oh haha...nm then...
I was just trying to get you guys the information as soon as I saw it.
For AT&T devices, yes. If it's a Verizon document, they wouldn't be using industry speculation for the specs on their own phones.

I love being optimistic about this kind of stuff. Why be doubtful it will launch any time soon when you can hope for the best and then if the time comes and it doesn't launch, at least you have another date to look forward to! It feels good
I love the optimism. I honestly don't care when it launches but reading every one's negativity just to be negative gets old. Sure they are probably just trying to temper their expectations. But there is nothing wrong looking forward to something. And you know what, if we don't hear anything tomorrow, you can just look forward to another date and it continues

I agree. If you expect the worst then you're putting an unnecessary amount of stress on yourself, but if you just keep looking forward you can't possibly get bogged down by the bad news! I'm actually not that tired of waiting any more
And on that note. I don't know if you're willing or able to confirm this information Steven- but how in fact did you vet your sources? Or are you just going off of blind faith in a faceless email? I apologize if this answer HAS been given earlier in this thread and I missed it. I'm just curious; not making accusations or anything.
Throw it into the pool and let the piranhas get after it. It's the best way to get down to the truth quickest.
If I remember correctly, the boss told the person that posted that he would be happy on Monday. Guess that could mean a lot of things but he made it seem like it was the Nexus.
this one is particularly troublesome - he's not saying that VZW has locked the GNex down, is he?!?! that would be the stupidest move in a long line of stupid moves by VZW. nope, no way it can happen.........right??!
5. Go to work, bail at 9 - 10 or whenever the store opens, back to work after an 'early lunch'.
that's my plan...
thats actually a pretty good plan, only think is i get to work around 9 :-X RT.287 traffic and parkway traffic in NJ are HORRIBLE! :-(
Please allow me to pinch hit here, Steven may choose to say more later (or not).
Inside sources typically have their jobs on the line if caught.
For that reason, we always shy away from any public discussions of vetting.
Also, when reading any insider info, there are a number of factors for readers to consider, vetting is just one - but it all comes down to credibility.
When bringing insider info forward, be it staff or any member - or having self-claimed insiders come forward on their own - AndroidForums.com has an official policy on this, I'll paraphrase it to remove staff references, however, the paraphrasing is dead accurate:
The information and claims are laid open to our community. We expect the wisdom of the community working together to determine the final truth. If you accept or reject a source's credibility, that is your protected right here at AF. Just don't hate about it and don't engage in arguments about credibility or vetting - that it makes it personal and is not about issues.
The basic idea where a mod is concerned is don't trust us if we say it because we're staff - treat us per normal as members here like yourself (QFT: we are members first and just volunteers doing a temporary job on staff) and use your own judgement to place your trust.
~~~~~~~~~
Having completed the staff statements, here are my personal views.
- Steven is no one's fool, he's a mondo good guy
- Clearly, Admin (Phases) has sufficient trust to back Steven's play on this thread
- Clearly, the site owner (Rob) has sufficient trust to accept Steven's source for Phandroid articles
- Corporations can, have and will vet quislings to torpedo us - quasi-sources whose sole purpose is to spread disinformation
- Corporations can, have and will distribute disinfo or bent information so they can track and fire employees leaking information
- In every corporation, there is one person high enough up to make a final determination on things like a release date (with support from those below handling the various components of logistics for the release)
- That guy is the one whose head we want into
- Information changes - No plan survives engagement with the enemy
- A fully credible insider's information is only valid for the time he gives it - information changes
Steven's no fool.
Hope this helps!
PS -
Quoted for truth!
