Couple Things Confirmed From Google Rep (NOT release dates, Verizon questions) - Nexus 6 General

I tried poking him for release dates, insisted he didnt know. Im aware a couple of my questions were pretty obvious but still good to hear straight from the source.

I don't think that Google rep knew what he was talking about. I highly doubt that the BL will be locked but then again anything can happen.

Don't go by what reps say IMO

Most google reps know a lot less than XDA members... In fact we usually update them!

I talked to the same Rep, he doesnt know what hes talking about. When he gave me a shipping date of 3-4 weeks i said, Thats unfortunate, sound slike tmobile will get the device faster than those who pre-ordered...His response was "that sounds awesome, glad you lucked out on the preorder."
I wouldnt listen to anything he has to over.

I'll be nice and bite my tongue as much as I can.
First, repost

Second, you are spreading misinformation.
The SamsungUK twitter feed only references UK phones. The reference to "everyone will have it by the end of Nov", refers to UK only. We've been through this time and time again here.
The schedule that's below it in the blog post is just something that the youmobile blog put together and isn't official in any way that's obvious at this point.
You also fell for youmobile's trick of trying to make people think samsung tweeted this. That alone makes me think they are not a reliable source.
What actually drives all of the OPs to post this stuff? It's a real question I'm asking. Is there like some sort of special pat on the back they are looking for or a need to be the first one to report it, rather than report right information?
that's old.
it's already been posted b4.

You are very brave posting anything Froyo related after the latest disapointment. That's all I'm going to say...

We already knew it wasn't locked. No matter were you get it, it will work wifi only. The activation is being forced by the place you purchase.

Correct, we knew it wasn't locked, but weren't sure about activation due to BB ad and changes to Galaxy Tab.
I have a pre-order at Bestbuy but called Verizon store and the rep there told me that I don't have to activate it if I don't want. I did tell her that I had a pre-order at BB and that I would rather buy from them anyway. She is holding one for me and with no activation or credit check needed.

[UPDATED] Verizon Tech Support says no unlocked bootloaders!

I know this is not a verizon forum but wow!

EDIT:UPDATE: A new quote from their Twitter. "I have confirmed we allow phones w/ unlocked bootloaders to be activated on our network. Sorry for the misinformation."

			
				
I saw this and at first I was gonna laugh, but when I thought about it, the guy has no clue. There are already phones with unlocked bootloaders on verizon. So I think maybe they mean no phones will be sold unlocked, but what you do to them after that is your business.
They guy that posted that tweet probably doesn't even know what a bootloader is.
big V just butthurt that they wont have as much power over htc phones
^ all of you are probably correct.
Both the Charge & Revolution are unlockable (unencrypted).

in fairness I did its in general meaning its doesn't necessarily have to do with anything EVO
I guess every sub gets one of these threads.
Evo 3D links back to XDA http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/0...ve-an-unlocked-bootloader-one-way-or-another/
From @VZWSupport:
Correction>> You CAN activate your HTC device with an unlocked bootloader on our network, we apologize for the confusion.
@grfullerton You are correct. If the bootloaders are unlocked, it does not prevent them from being activated on the Verizon network.*MS

Google still not 100% confident in Google Glass...

Well, Google has come a long way in 3 years:

Huff and puff. They are 100% confident in it, and they've even gone far enough to hire interns onto the Glass team for the summer. They aren't giving up on the product by any means. Besides, they already confirmed a KitKat update is coming soon.
Google is definitely into glass.

im sure oneplus 3 owners said the same, then BAM... there was the T model less than 6 months later. never say never in the tech world. with the snapdragon 835 incoming google will for sure want to step it up somehow.
I would hope they don't rush this time and plan it out and come out with a better phone. 2017 and no waterproofing is crazy. Also I'm sick of these metal/glass "premium" phones. I beat the hell out of my GS5 for 3 years. It was always in a case but no screen protector. It's been soaking wet, covered is dirt/dust, dropped, etc.. there is NOTHING wrong with it. Not a single mark/scratch/dent. I have a screen protector and case on my pixel and I'm still scared as hell to drop it and have to worry about it for however long I keep it. It definitely will not hold up as good
