build.prop hall of shame

[Phil Nickinson]

This thread shall be reserved for build.prop screens shots that are published and turn out to be very, very false. The idea isn't to poke fun as the sites that publish them -- though we *will* make them buy the first round next time we see them. Nay, the idea is to revisit some of the crap that all of us bloggers have to deal with when tracking down real news.

We'll start with one of my favorites:

The HTC Supersonic (which was the code name for the Evo 4G) with Android 3.0 -- on T-Mobile.

Can't forget this one of the N1 running running 3.0 from a "super secret source"

This one wasn't published anywhere -- and hopefully it won't be. But another blog asked us to check on it. Really, people? You can't try any harder than this?

And we have a new entry! Apparently, the status bar doesn't get changed in Honeycomb. lulz.
