Here is a full account of what is going on in Sprint's user forums. They sure do not like any kind of crtisism or questions they can not answer.

You can always root. But if use the nexus for work as I do I rather wait for a stable version from sprint and at that I will still wait a couple of weeks till all issues have been ironed out.

Just don't see it. Also there is enough complaining already we all know sprint is dragging a$$

One of my post from last week already got dropped and some CSR guy sent me a private message telling me not to root my phone. They are pissed over in the forum area.

What's that supposed to mean? Is it some sort of indirect way of saying the OTA is imminent?

They have been deleting posts right and left over there. I just don't understand why hiding facts on their forum and deleting everyone's posts seems like a good business strategy to them.

No, they delete any post over there that has any kind of instructions on how to root or where to find those instructions. Remember rooting your phone breaks it's warranty, Sprint will in no way support you breaking your warranty, hence the PM telling him to not root.

j_grouchy,,

THE CSR guy didn't give any indication it was coming soon. He basically went into the whole bricking your phone and that the delay was to help fix issues to make sure everything was working he correctly and he was real cool about but let me say again he didn't say anything as to a timeline of when it would be coming.

It's not so much an issue of the warranty as it is a violation of their EULA. They could care less if your phone's warranty is valid, as that's a manufacturer issue (that they often handle on your behalf).

However, rooting a phone does enable you do to things that Sprint would otherwise restrict, such as wireless tethering or other network-related things that aren't so benign.

Cry babies. Obviously it's not ready, my guess is they could give you a non-stable version and you would still . So what do you want? A stable version or a non-stable? Your posts are getting deleted because your stirring up trouble and trying to make Sprint look bad on their website, do you expect anything less?

When it is ready you will get it. Or just root like everyone else.

ICS isn't even that much different from GB, you really must have nothing better to do than to troll the Sprint boards and the Android Forums looking for any mistake Sprint has made about ICS. It's not that big of a deal what so ever. Take a chill pill and be patient.

Seriously, a lot of cry babies over there. It'll be out when it's ready.

Wow. Just...wow. XD

Sprint's handling this badly by deleting posts and calling users trolls for asking questions, the customers are being whiny and making outlandish assumptions such as claiming the NS4G isn't compatible with ICS and will never receive an upate, and Google's just not saying a word because they rarely do in these cases.

Better than any movie I've seen recently.
