It's going to be a Windows 7 phone for sure. Heard it from Microsoft.

First of all anything from "an anonymous tipster" has no place being considered as legitimate, even for a rumor. Second, there have been three Android Dev Phones, the ADP1, ADP2, and the Nexus 1. All three of these phones have been manufactured by HTC. Why would they change now? Third, anyone who is keeping up with android news knows the Samsung Continuum is Samsung's next android phone, and it hasn't been announced yet. Also if look at the picture on the event invitation it shows Android icons on top of a stock ticker, one of the callout features of the continuum second screen. Even if i'm wrong about them announcing the continuum Nov. 8'th (which I very well may be) I know that i'm not wrong about them NOT announcing this Nexus 2 or Nexus S or whatever the believers want to call it. The CEO is more likely to get up on stage and poop a unicorn.

Shut up adrynalyne;-) love u man. Jk. Fyi supposedly someone at gizmodo played with it. U know the guys who found the iPhone 4 on the floor that was........not fake. It might be real. But its likely not what they r releasing on November 8. Whatever wouldn't surprise me if they our out a phone with gingerbread and can't give me ****ing froyo
Sent from my SCH-I500-Fascinate using XDA App
You could at least wait until it's released, so then we'll actually know if this will help development. We don't actually know if this thing exists (despite what Gizmodo says) yet or what hardware is inside it (it's not a Galaxy S phone if it's the Nexus Two considering Galaxy S phones have TouchWiz built in), so this is basically not helpful at all.
@OP... I understand why you might have thought this belonged in the Dev section, but the truth is that this is at best, hearsay, and belongs in General.
Thread cleaned & moved to General.
@everyone else... Personally, I have a zero tolerance policy when it comes to flaming and being rude. If you think a post / thread does not belong in a particular section or that it is redundant, use the "Report Post" feature to bring it to my attention instead of starting a war.
KEEP IT CLEAN!
Yeah, just because Gizmodo says "one of our friends" got a hands on with the device doesn't mean it's real. It's all still rumors. I could say my wife's, brother in law's, step brother works for samsung and he said it's going to be the continuum. doesn't make it fact, or even any more likely. I stand by my analysis.

I'm actually using the device right now thank you. Google and Apple designed the phone together, and commissioned Samsung to build it instead of HTC. They are banding together to fight WP7.

He seems receptive to the idea, but feel free to add your support of the idea if you wish.
Oh! I had it figured out.
Press current location button at the upper right corner, and when you're at current location, the same button becomes a compass, which you can toggle between 2D and 3D mode.

yea i just found it weird the SS said 2.6.35.7
and my kernel is 2.6.35.11 using netarchy, its pretty obvious its using stock 2.3.2 kernel
It says 'test keys' & 'user debug' in the build string, it's pre-release software. No reason to doubt it just because it's kernel isn't bang up to date.
Technically 2.6.35.7 is up to date with the official nexus s kernel, my builds have a newer base because i updated it manually, among many other changes.
It's not so hard to believe that the screens could be from a test build.
this might be a early pre build.
but wont be looking like 2.4
the google developers told that 2.4 wouldnt be looking like 2.3 at all and would be totally different :3
prob some looks revering to 3.0
2.4 isn't going to look any different from 2.3, it it still Gingerbread.

No it's not. Not even close, what a crap analogy.
You do realise Gingerbread isn't the name of the OS, it's Android.
Android Gingerbread will look like Android Gingerbread whether it's 2.3.x or 2.4.x
Windows Vista will look like Windows Vista whether it's SP1 or SP2
Also what the other guy said, you've shown 2 pictures of skinned Android. Good effort.
That is Froyo.
That is Froyo next to HTC Sense.
That is Sony's skin
Oh gosh... none of them look like stock Android!
Xperia arc using 2.4 is a error. This just proves how easy it is to edit android version.
A post by Sony Ericsson's Rikard Skogberg on the company's Product Blog contains some interesting news about the upcoming Xperia Arc. Firstly, Skogberg pours cold water on reports that some of the Arc devices shown at CES were running "Android 2.4," saying that it was the result of a "misconfiguration," and "nothing to get too excited about." (As we all know it takes about 30 seconds to change the Android version number on a rooted phone, we're inclined to believe him.)

What content? The content of the picture? The picture proves that in the build prop of some phone it says 2.4. Actually, it doesn't even prove that because anyone with any ability in photoshop could edit a picture to make it look like a phone was running something. What it proves is that there are phones. Yay. Until there is evidence that can be checked and substantiated this thread is irrelevant and should be closed.
EDIT: Even if the phones are running 2.4 it shows its a development build and there is a great chance the phone is tester. We had a similar issue on the Epic; for some reason someone got a developer's version of the Epic (earlier hardware version; .4 instead of .5 like everyone else) and as a result got a test build of froyo called DK28. As far as I know its still what most ROMs are based on but they still don't officially have froyo yet.

I'd recommend getting the Samsung Galaxy S2 for sure if you can get it on your carrier which is most now .

Well, it corresponds with the previously obtained "leaked" photos. It does some things I haven't seen any other roms do as of yet. But, I would assume all easily doable if your a developer and wanted to mess with people.
Than again if I wasn't except so much from it I'd think it was it. But since It's kind of disappointing in the first place I don't want to believe it. But, I would assume there are much more background upgrades and new features not shown there that it would make it exceptional and that much better.

I still lean more towards it being a custom rom someone conjured up. And even if it's not ICS; nor, do I wish it to be (Again the background changes would have to be intense for me to not feel dogged completely) I would love to get my hands on that "rom" and mess with it.
Just tell us it's fake already and let us play with the rom!

Has anyone noticed the Movie Studio icon? As far as I know this app is only available on Honeycomb at the moment. Two possibilities:
- It's real and the Movie Studio works on phones
- It's a custom ROM and there's just a useless icon for an app that doesn't exist
The first one seems more likely to me. Also, there's the panorama feature in the camera app, which was rumored before.

Doesn't seem fake. IceAndFire ROM, for example, has the ICS launcher by Syndicate Apps.
This video shows a lock screen, a different app drawer, a different notification bar. Just like on my Honeycomb tab. Seems like real ICS.
