I've been reading the rumors about an official Honeycomb build, and have a question.
What are the chances of a rip of that build being put up on XDA? I can't seem to restore 2.2.2, so flashing official updates OTA is out for me. If the official build comes out, does anyone here plan on uploading it so I can flash it with NVFlash, like DJ_Steve builds?

If that build is released by Dell, the chances of it being ripped and posted on XDA are over 9000.

Looks like Dell is releasing one for the WiFi version any moment, now. T-Mobile ought to be shortly following suit (already released in China). I think your estimation was a little too "approximate".

Well, as much as I like to remain positive, I haven't seen a rip, nobody on XDA claims to have the update, and my online chat with a Dell employee didn't point in the right direction. Kinda starting to lose hope...not much reason to believe an official Honeycomb build exists right now...
Even if dell has one i am not interested until it can be rooted.

The dell 10" streak has been released in China with hc running on it. Surely dell would release it for the 7 it would make sense. If not surely a rip of the 10" would port straight over

Doubt it...we'd run into the same screen density problems we were having with the Xoom.
Which version of the Streak do you own? Wifi or T-Mobile?
Either way there are some very detailed instructions in XDA to convert back.
I have wifi on stock no hc update in UK

I flashed honeystreak at about that time but checked before I did and just saw the standard tmo update page, not this. May have been before they posted this though.
The update is a lie.
Dell, like any company, knows how important word of mouth is. They don't want current streak owners discouraging potential new customers from making purchases. This is probably all part of their marketing. I'll believe it when I see it.

Like everything else in the world, it'll come out on a Friday or Tuesday, so get some sleep and only check once a day the other 5 days of the week. If you still have the box, don't worry about returns. If you must return it, take it to Walmart, they'll take anything they stock for store credit, no receipt.

Its been said that XPERIA PLAY is going to be available on February 13 with android 2.3 (gingerbread) pre-installed. Will this mean that Nexus One will have the update to 2.3 before XPERIA PLAY releases? Am I making myself clear? Trying not to sound confusing.
who knows, just use the custom roms here. too much threads about when gb is coming out, just wait.
Google is completely silent about the issue, so if anybody tells you otherwise, they are just guessing.
Well google said that nexus phones will be the first to get 2.3 before any other phone besides nexus s. So if xperia play come out on feb. 3, wont that mean the nexus one will have the 2.3 update right before the release of the xperia play?

Again, more misinformation! What is wrong with you people??
Sign in to your Android developer account and click on the "Development Phones" link.
What phone do you see listed there? The Nexus One.
Please stop this madness of spreading misinformation. This is XDA Developers, not Howard Forums.
Someone from Google had posted on twitter that the nexus one would get the update in a few weeks when the nexus s was released. Its been months.

I'm not denying that the nexus one is a developer phone, but it is no longer Google's main focus developer phone... that would be the nexus s. Which is why I worded my post as I did. I wasn't trying to spout mis-information, the nexus one is no longer THE developer phone for Google.... the nexus s is and it was advertised that the nexus s will get all official updates first. The nexus one can fall anywhere after that... if at all... that's Google's call. Its the basic order of how things work. We are not guaranteed 2nd dibbs before other brands or phones.
I'm sorry for the false information. I misread phone blogs here and there sometimes.
Phondog said: "It's kind of surprising that the N1 is still without its update to Gingy, but you have to imagine that Google will be pushing the OTA upgrade out some time soon. After all, it's been quite a while since 2.3 was announced, and one of the allures of the Nexuses (Nexii?) is quicker Android OS updates. We'll be sure to keep you updated on the situation, so stay tuned!"

The nexus one wasn't initially under the "Development Phones" section, only after they stopped selling it online, did they put it in there.
Same may or may not happen with the Nexus S, but it is a developer phone because it is easy to lock/unlock and also you can target the Nexus S when you build AOSP source code

After 14+ long months, I am finally leaving the Evo and Android for good. I gave it two shots (G1 and Evo), and both times it was underwhelming. I actually preferred the experience I had with the G1 than I did with the Evo.

You guys are insane someone can't say they're leaving for an iphone because they're automatically flamed and obviously stupid. I like android but I prefer ios. Yet I'm still here. Android just seems to be all over the place and all unorganized right now. It seems like I get a new phone and the week after that a new much better phone is released and our is outdated. There's also the issue where some apps don't work on some phones because of the hardware or some other bull excuse like they did with netflix. We get dumbed down apps all the time. Like they don't even care about us android users. I still love android I just wish it was better.

Your comparing software to hardware. Android ****s on ios? Is that what you mean?
If I had to weigh in I would say that neither is better, tho ios even tho stole the notification system, implemented it better then android. That's neither here nor there. I say they each offer a different user experience, yes you can get great battery life, after an android phone gets rooted and modified. Tho I have yet to be able to watch looped video on my evo for 7 hours straight...
I think the main difference is the app store, android users are cheap as ****. They will use warez, they will not donate(I'm speaking generally). So better support and better apps make their way to ios first. Yes we have the same apps on android but android fragmented system is ****ed up. I love android, but reguardless how you look at it. They are different. Really don't think people should get all pissy about it. Crazy how some people act towards another human just because they like a different phone. I think our priorities are messed up.

I too am excited for ICS, but on the same hand, I'm not too excited about the possibility of losing root. Hopefully the holes in ICS will be known if this launch comes to fruition, and wow, would it be nice if they don't load the thing with Bingification (but we all know know that kinda "has to" happen to meet whatever contract obligations they have to MS).
Not a pessimist... just a seriously cautious realist.

Not sure, I've never owned one of those, but it would sure be nice if the contract expired and they stopped including it.
It doesn't even make sense. Why would a company willingly ship with Bing when Microsoft on an Android device is a clear conflict of interest (and the results reflect this)? It's like shipping an XBOX 360 with an "enhancement" attachment built by Sony. I sure as hell wouldn't be first in line to try it...
Well that's a surprise. I really wasn't expecting this phone to get ICS lol. Though it probably won't be arriving any time soon, but then again I'm in no rush.

What kind of tests you're supposed to do? As I imagine the ICS itself should be pretty solid at the moment and the test phase should not take long. I hope that soon someone will find a strange zip on a strange server and it will fit for our phone:cyclops:

The test are for Arabic Fonts and sum bugs those might be there. Its a norm. I got GB on my fone around 6 months before the official update. There were sum bugs, for example Alarm FC and Auto Time Update not working.
Lets hope we find that zip file soon.
Thanks for answer - please add some description (small review) about speed and functionality together with the screens when you get it
Today I asked about ICS upgrade for Baltics region. They answered that it was told to them that it will show up at the end of Q3 - the end of September.
And a Merry Christmas to us then... ^^
Does Q4 of 2012 mean the beginning of December or the end?
Until we receive the update, there will be million times better phones than this crappy ob..
I am not sure the next year apps' will work on this phone . . .
lol in my country I haven't received yet the GB Update..

SO that experiences of very new device can be shared with the person at places where it will still be not launched like India.
When can we expect the US release date to be officially announced? Everything that I've read has speculated 3/15, but I've yet to see anything that confirms it.

There's an article flying around that bestbuy is already going to start or has started pre-ordering. I'm going to drive later to my local bestbuy and go ask some questions.

Getting it straight from Phones4u on the 14th or 15th as I know a guy who works there. He'll keep One for me.
Already Pre ordered a contract one as well for my brother.
I went to several stores this weekend and asked when they were getting it.
T-MOBILE STORE - manager said sometime in the summer.
BEST BUY - said late April
@ the MALL - dude said he had a demo and played with it but couldn't show it and said it was out in 2 weeks.
These were all in California US.

I dunno - It's possible for it to happen in the US since Verizon isn't getting it. (They're usually the slow pokes here)
