August 22 is how long it takes to get to Gingerbread. Hmmm interesting, my source just keeps giving more and more goodies :)

Zanderman, nothing yet on Photon. Still slated for July 24th, but nothing yet from Sprint or Motorola.

August 22 isn't bad at all imo. I like your source lol. And for the photon, I won't change anything.

Which one did you go to? I went to the one in Westland, MI and they sold it to me for 179 with a leather case.

I told my friend about it and he went there 20 mins after me and they said they can't sell it to him outright, they are only selling them on a lease plan. He's like my friend was just here 20 minutes ago and he bought one. They said we sold it to him by accident, we were only supposed to sell it on a lease agreement.

anyone that ordered a touchpad on amazon through OnSale and didnt' get it, you can now rate them down. bastards
[Epic 4G General] formula84:
Just got off the phone with a manager in Philly...

Here's the deal, they all received an email today stating that they were not able to apply the 20% off cash price $179 = $144

So price will be $179 + Tax unless you get super lucky.

They were originally supposed to sell as lease only, $19 for 12 months with a laptop or $39 for 6 months single item.

I believe him, they only had 2 left and I am beginning to think this is all a waste of time.

Has anyone heard from Samfirmware about a second leak before the end of the month?

HP sent me a confirmation yesterday that the 2 orders I put through on the SMB site for 2 32gb touchpads are confirmed. When I ordered them I said to myself, "oh no! I only wanted 2, not 4" Now two of my daughters want them. Would've preferred the 16gb model and saved $50 each but oh well. Kind of weird though. They jacked me on the shipping from free to $4.30 now over $12 using "economy shipping". Expected delivery date is Sept 14. The saga is not over yet.

Gingerbread will be never come out
[Epic 4G General] dexterboy1106:
Sorry

I know that you know that we know that there hasn't been any update as of lately but what I was getting at was that it seems like eh18 is or has been solid since it was changed to eh18 per rdf. I'm not arguing I'm just hoping eh18 is the final.
[Epic 4G General] || Acer ||:
Oh, then I apologize. I know what you're saying - since its been 10 days and no new build, then yeah it could be final. But we've been fooled before.

Anyone got a Ida of when the Prime will come to Sprint? So far all I heard was Verizon first and maybe others later.

Sent from my Samsung Epic 4G.
[Epic 4G General] Overstew:
It's only rumored to be coming out for specific carriers. It's actually entirely possible that Sprint wont even get it. And to be honest, I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't. Sprint is really stepping up their game with the newly added high-end smartphones as of late. So it's also possible that they will. The estimated date is also only a rumor, scheduled for possibly October release, but I feel the rumor was just wishful thinking. Both previous Nexus devices have come out December and November, so I'd say it'll be as early as November, late as December 31st. :p
[Epic 4G General] lynyrd65:
Some rumors have been conficting though. It appears that the prime will not have a 1280x720 display as rumored but instead your standard run of the mill 800x480 according to a new roadmap leak. So who knows.

If sprint doesn't get the prime from the start they will probably get one later.
[Epic 4G General] pjy9394:
For the nexus prime, will it not have an micro sd slot like the Nexus S?

If that's the case, and the memory is back at 16gb, that will be a deal breaker for me.

Even 32gb isn't enough i say.
[Epic 4G General] Whosdaman:
No idea, that's a toss up
[Epic 4G General] 5FOOTER:

[Epic 4G General] InfDaMarvel:
If I could have two phones it be an iPhone and a Nexus.
[Epic 4G General] hayzooos:
First ICS device, not a Nexus, exclusive to Verizon. This makes me very :( if true:

http://androidandme.com/2011/08/new...e-cream-sandwich-device-exclusive-to-verizon/

Although since it's not being sold as a real "Nexus" device, I'm sure we'll still see the next Nexus, now who knows when. Since this is coming out in October, maybe the Nexus will come out around Thanksgiving like it has previously...
[Epic 4G General] hayzooos:

[Epic 4G General] kalel_293:

[Epic 4G General] || Acer ||:
There's no way that is happening. First of all, they just bought Motorola; if it's different than the Nexus Prime, there's no way they could have made a phone that quickly! Second, remember that Google owns Motorola, and not the other way around. Google wants the "google experience" to be spread to a wide number of consumers, and releasing a phone on Verizon ONLY would be the dumbest thing they have ever done, even if it is aside from the Nexus series. To me, if Google really does release a Verizon Exclusive "google experience" dubbed the "Droid Prime" or whatever, then it is Motorola who seems to be owning Google. I'm okay with a phone like this to come out AFTER the Nexus Prime is released; I just don't see why Motorola should release their own version first, especially since they were just bought and have had no time to even make a phone unless they were planning this already.

Sorry for the rant, I'm just saying I think it would be stupid of Google to be that exclusive and favor Motorola over everyone, even if they did buy them.
[Epic 4G General] deano0714:
Also talking about the prime... I don't think gogle would let another phone manufacturer be the first with ics...
[Epic 4G General] steviee7:
the droid prime is not a motorola phone... "samsung droid prime"
[Epic 4G General] || Acer ||:
Oh I see what you're saying, but that proves my point even more: if the nexus prime and droid prime are two different phones and are made by Samsung , I don't see why Google would have ICS come out on a phone before the Nexus; it just doesn't make sense. If someone told me Motorola was making the "Droid Prime" (which I had thought originally, I apologize for the mistake) I'd believe it more since Google owns Motorola and everything. But if it's Samsung, I don't see any reason why Samsung should release a phone before the Nexus Prime with ICS; that doesn't make any sense considering the Nexus series are always the first phones to have the latest build. I just think it would be a company mistake if that actually happened.

@Deano: exactly my thoughts
[Epic 4G General] amwworks:
Wasn't the og droid the first phone with froyo? Then the nexus 1 was released with 2.1 later
[Epic 4G General] OrygunGal:
Maybe if the Samsung Droid Prime goes exclusively to Verizon with ICS, the Nexus Prime will come to Sprint exclusively or at least first with ICS? They've both had rumors of October release so maybe simultaneous? I don't know, just thinking about the possibilities...
[Epic 4G General] lballer69:
Only difference that wasn't a nexus yet
[Epic 4G General] professoroak:
Jeeze sometimes I wish these manufacturers and carriers could be a bit more like Apple with their iPhone (as much as I regret to say that) in the marketing aspect.

Just make a singular awesome standout phone. One name to all carriers. None of this exclusive crap. People would recognize that name of the phone more easily especially if it's cross-carrier. It's so hard and weird to tell people "I have an Epic 4G. And you could sorta kinda relatively have the same phone on AT&T if you buy the Captivate." People get turned off by that idea and get confused.

People know the iPhone everywhere. Heck, a lot of people know the GSII and its amazing appraise. But they sure as hell won't when it's called the "Attain" or "Within" or "Epic Touch." This is all to the general public of course, too.

[Epic 4G General] hayzooos:
This is kind of what I was thinking/hoping as well. You gotta remember, the release in October has been planned well before Google bought Mortorola. I know that deal has been planned for a bit too, that stuff takes planning, but it's not like the "Samsung Droid Prime" was planned and created after Google bought Motorola.

If VZW wants to release the 'Nexus' without the actual name, fine by me, I don't care. I just want me some Nexus Prime to come to Sprint by Thanksgiving.
