No, because it only has 100-400 (?) replies. Popular and hot threads usally contain 500-1000 And more! Maybe in the future,
EDIT: What i mean to say it, it doesn't live up to standards of being in this thread, however, when it reaches to about, say 500-600 posts, i might consider it

It is a frameless case that uses and adhesive pad to keep the tablet attached. So it won't be loose.

I am amazed at the amount of vague thread titles on all forums, not just xda.
Favorite examples include:
Hey guys! Did you see this?!
What do you guys think about...
This is so awesome!!
Please advice...
I think everyone should start a new thread for every single time they buy an accessory for their Nexus 7.
Then create another thread when the accessory comes in and make another for a unboxing and another for a review.
everybodys an asshole
Just posting it. So hard to click a link, huh?
Y'all go blow yourselves

Hey guys! I made a thread reviewing this thread. I'll post the link later.
http://www.engadget.com/2012/10/29/google-nexus-4-hands-on/
This isn't a review. Its a preview.
The only real review sites are the following:
- Anandtech
- Heelsandtech
Everything else is simply a preview with personal opinions of the author mixed in to %#&! it up.
If I had to take a preview of any of the 2nd tier sites out there (theverge, engadget, slashgear, etc) it would be gigaom since they are truly unbiased.
Thread topic is a little misleading. Regardless, good video.
The Verge did an amazing job with their news handling for these devices today

GSMArena is the definitive phone review site. they are more thorough with more objective measures than any other site

They can be good but they don't include battery life tests so I don't count them as real reviews. Just went through 4 different reviews on their front page just now and none of them had ANY battery life test sections. Plus they DEFINITELY don't have the knowledge base Anand does.
Either way its just my personal preference
Maybe it is just me but did anybody else notice that all the lockscreens in the videos are using the pattern to unlock and not the slide to unlock?
Well I only did see the one in this thread and the one from the verge but still it was something that I had noticed.

It's not that unusual as it is an option and perhaps they didn't want anyone snooping on those phones that wasn't suppose to be.

Yea it can be that. But I was eluding to the possibility of perhaps they got rid of that lockscreen option for the phone.
Hands-on video. What a beauty of a phone!!

Usually they post their battery test results on their blog.
I guess they prefer to post the review ASAP and then add the battery results (I suppose since they take some time to do).
I really don't like the glass on the back. Has Google not learnt anything from Apple?

I wouldn't take any one of those, a.k.a. Anadtech, who post some test results without imforming it's based on pre-release software as superior to others.
So it looks like they gave us a little hint and preview whats coming next
who wants to guess that screen size?

Nexus 6 are quite advanced. Perhaps too advanced. Let's hope they don't escape.

1. Search before posting.
Use one of our search functions before posting, whether you have a question or something new to share, it's very likely someone already asked that question or shared that news.

This looks promising...
http://www.androidauthority.com/and...e-date-october-25-26-go-launcher-says-286310/
The Tweet says that we will see an announcement today or tomorrow. And their FB posts explains that they know this because they received an invite. o.0
We obviously have to take any rumour with a grain of salt but personally, I don't see why Go Launcher would want to fabricate this story as they would royally piss off a good amount of their customers if they were found to be lying.
Will update the post with the actual article in a bit. Currently on the train with restricted Wi-Fi access!
UPDATE: GO Launcher lied. Please do not buy/install any of their apps to teach these ass**les not to mess with the public. Hopefully Google Experience Launcher ruins them.
Here is a screen of their facebook post

Urgh you're right. I guess that means that the story was false?
On the bright side, Android Authority have just posted a new article re: Nexus 5 release: http://www.androidauthority.com/rum...er-31-google-play-november-7-8-canada-286298/
This information has been already posted on the main Nexus 5 thread.

Yes, I apologize. When I posted it, I thought I was the first with the news. Also since the news was so significant (which I now know is not the case), I felt it deserved a thread of its own.

If you think you are the first to post something you need to step back, take a breath and then realize you probably are not and it has already been posted in the appropriate thread. The one with every other rumored date imaginable.
As far as significant, nothing is significant unless Google said so.
Thought KitKat was coming on October 28th along with Google Nexus 5.
Isnt that the case
