IDK lol, i like how he says this after their are tons of rumors already about this specific date.
Yeah. He's a guy you either trust, or you don't. I trust him, but I don't ask anyone else to do the same. I've been tweeting with Pydepypper a lot (who also has an LTE Galaxy Nexus) and he seems like a cool dude. He's been giving out some good information on battery life for the GNex. It's good to hear the update the testers of the LTE GNex got yesterday helped performance/battery each a little and that the phone is pulling a stronger signal than before. Verizon is improving it (actually, I assume it's more on Google/Sammy's end for the software fixes/updates).
Yeah especially since he also tweeted this just two weeks ago. Of course he can argue that "end of year" means the 12th month, but "won't be here soon" makes you think otherwise haha
Like many have said, when you throw out every date under the sun, you're bound to be right
He was actually one of, if not the first to say December 8th. We (including myself) were all slamming him too for saying it would be the 8th.
Ewwww. :blink:

I like his D1 kernals. IMO i think they are my standard. and I really dont follow twitter but i cant say i trust him. I used to but not after the TBH tether thing.
Yeah but before that he was the one with the little poem, that indicated the 3rd of November, I think (damn has it been that long?)....i dunno...and the one who said Verizon is going after the 30million who are rooted haha...so, maybe he has an inside "source" but its hardly reliable...
Think that was Panda.
P3's definitely said a few dates, I'm just pointing out I remember being pissed and slamming him because he said it was delayed and it would be Dec. 8. He said something about finding out the shipments hadn't even arrived in the US yet and this was when we were coming up on the mid November date.

I was going to say that was taken way out of context but i think the way you have it is hilarious. i'll go along with it :biggrin:
I can vouch for that. It's kinda like when you went from dial-up to cable modem. Just not possible to go back. Heck, I use 4g instead of connecting to my home wifi. It's faster. (gotta luv unlimited data!) :icon_ lala:

When did he say this? He just said end of the year not dec 8. i dont even think vz knew back then the delay length.
The tether scandal (shall we call it a scandal?) rubbed many the wrong way. I actually distrusted P3 a lot after that all happened and stopped paying attention to his "leaked information" for a while. But he's just a human being, like you or I. He makes mistakes. When you have inside sources, sometimes you just take their word and you have no way to fact check them. We're working with "leaked" information - so I'm sure if P3 had known any better, he'd have not said anything. I honestly believe he passes on information sometimes a bit prematurely, but I don't think he intentionally misleads anyone. Sometimes some of what he shares turns out to not be true - and most of the time his information is solid and reliable.
Is he to blame for overhyping the tethering thing and causing some hysteria? Yes and no. Yes in that he did set all of it into motion, but no in that he cannot control how people react. Sure, using caps lock like he did probably made the situation seem "urgent" etc. - but I honestly believe Verizon IS watching people who are tethering, in some fashion. Maybe they've not taken any action, maybe they decided it wasn't worth it. Who knows. But I'm over it and I forgive P3 for it, because as I said he is human, the same as anyone else, and I allow for him to make mistakes because that's what people do.

With the poem? I coulda swore it was p3droid telling everyone to follow that Tom Fleming guy and he would release more parts of that poem when we did. I'm sure P3 said Dec 8th, but he wasn't exactly saying it with much conviction. And at one point he said he was crossing the VZW Nexus off his christmas list and RIP to the nexus or some crap hah. I don't know I can't keep track of who said what, I just don't put too much faith in people who flip flop that much. I'm sure P3 knows far more then most of us do, but I don't think he knows anything positive. He's working off rumors just as much as we are, except his rumors may come from someone on the inside (and that could very well just be some tech in a local store or something who thinks he knows what's going on).
