Eh, that was a bit yucky. No good Christmas gifts from Verizon this year.

Shouldn’t it be “We don’t discuss phones that we don’t currently SELL?”

“We don’t discuss phones that we don’t currently sale.”
um wouldn’t the droid does ads that aired before it was for sale prove this wrong

I’m boycotting Phandroid. He was always fanatical. Now we know to what lengths.

Wimberly, for not hiding/protecting this douche bad, you have my support.

Agreed. And I might add, if “Mr. Rob Jackson” did indeed put up that site, which is clearly intended to create rumors: good job falsifying information, completely discrediting yourself, and in extension dragging down all the android news sites with you.

What happened to journalistic integrity — or even just basic human integrity?

Not to mention all the non-tech sites that either repeat this bogus information as FACT or scoop incorrect information themselves. I’m all for aggregated content, but there should be a level of fact-checking or something before news spreads like this.
When business blogs start posting crap like this you know it’s getting out of hand. Rumors about phones/phoneOS’s are intended to bring in new interest and consumers and keep those in the know. By making unsubstantiated posts they are ruining that for Android and its credibility (not to mention their own).

It is truly sad to watch as Android fan site repeatedly post unsubstantiated rumors as fact. Much like the mythical ongoing GPhone rumors it does nothing to further the good name of Android and makes the site operators look like n00bs. I understand the desire to be the 1st to report but we’ve crossed over to a point where any and everything is being reported regardless of how preposterous it is.
