What's the Gift? - Adam General

So what was the "special gift" for those delayed, and what was it that RS sent Greg as a personal Gift?

I was going to ask Greg, but I have no idea how to get a hold of him.

Why don't you ask at NI Fan?
Has he ever get one? The promise was a long time ago.

The same as the people who contributed to the logo contest:

It's a travel adaptor for 14/02 batch.

Is this confirmed by NI or speculation? I saw similar speculation in the comments of the NI blog, but then again I also saw speculation of memory cards, Honeycomb, and other things...
I'm hoping it's not a travel adapter as that's not useful for US based customers.

I think that's just for if the outlets in your area are incompatible.

That had to be the longest actual un boxing ever. Ever think to use a razor? Or at least something sharper than those crayola scissors.

Unfortunately this is not true. The evo is coming out May 24th. Therefor there is no time for a preorder. I am a sprint rep So watch for it soon

dude, calm your b**ls. stop bit***ng, maybe he fu***d up but that isn't for you to whine about. seriously
Confirmed, I'm a Shack employee, we got the memo a couple days ago.
*edit* though I expect it will be a 'pre-order' consisting of the "wireless virtual inventory program" and will probably happen a few days before the official release (if indeed it is May 24). This might not be what most would consider a full blown pre-order. Too early to say.

Why would I do that? He simply posted in the wrong place thinking that Sprint users might be happy to know about this. If we banned every user that posts in the wrong place, about 50% of the member would get banned.

Sprint Update to 2.3 Android

According to a friend of mine (works for Sprint), he says some people have downloaded 2.3 on their phones. They showed him, i have searched everywhere and find no information on the 2.3 release.. Was he mistaken?

As a retention supervisor I can officially say that training has taken place for 2.3 on our Evo's, no release date though... Then of course I realized I had just clicked on an engadget link while I was at work

What kind of details can you share about 2.3? So far Google has been nothing but a tease.
Your statement seems to confirm that EVO's will all receive 2.3? That is good news.

May 5th AT&T/Samsung Announcement

http://www.androidguys.com/2011/05/02/att-samsung-announcing-nexus-5th/
a couple of android sites are reporting that they've been invited a press event where they'll have a "special announcement" i'm hoping it's about the SGS2 but more likely it'll be either the Infuse or the AT&T Nexus S. but you know... hope springs eternal.
The best buy ad here has the infuse coming May 2011 but nothing about Galaxy S 2

that's what i'm hoping. press events are usually reserved for hotly anticipated flagship devices.
not counting the kyocera echo of course
OP, the majority of people in that old thread "In USA: Where to Pre-Order" think this is the Samsung Infuse and not the Samsung Attain yet, in my opinion the AT&T's version of SGS2, because of the first 3 letters. There is no way VZW, Sprint or TMOB are taking that name. Well TMOB could.

So is that it? They're gonna call it the Attain here in the US? And those other names that popped up with it, you think those will be for the other carriers? Do you think they will be any different from one another? But yea I see what you mean, how the first three letters of Attain are ATT.
Lol, anyways, people were also saying it's probably Nexus S for AT&T, but no, who gives a **** about that, we don't care about that one either. Get out, this is SGS2 and we are finally going to get it!

I just hope that doesn't mean T-Mobile is gonna get it before us AT&T users. Although, I don't care as much if it means were getting closer to getting it.
But no, they won't get it first, because they're announcing it for us on May 5th!
THATS THE SPIRIT!!!
but honestly, i've been off contract for so long i'm willing to go to whoever gets it first

Would make sense....T-Mobile's page never looked like that
That other thread also pointed out that next to it is a MT4G, which someone claimed TMO UK doesn't have.
My wife will kill me when TMOUS gets the sgs2, because I cannot avoid getting it. It's a compulsion.
I say...
they announce the Infuse release date and throw up some other flagship in there as well.
I hope it's the Samsung Infuse with Dual Core.
But seriously, it's probably just the Infuse we saw back in CES that they're going to announce.

Taking the plunge

Hey,
This morning my xoom arrived. The after spending £430 of my hard earned money I started to feel rather skeptical as I had never played with any android 3.0 tablet or even held the xoom in my hand before. At 11.00 the postman arrived to deliver, opened the box and switched it on. The initial impressions is that this is by far to best piece of tech I have invested in. Thinking back to my ipad I really did question why did i bother ith tht junk.
Just a quick thank you to all who advised on my previous posts about the xoom, it's brilliant.
Have a good day, and jordan
