who do you guys think is more reliable?

[djcyph]

the blogs like AC and droid life? or mr. black_man_x in release date rumors?

for a little while now, Mr. Panda kept hinting at a March 17th release and that seems like what people were going with....

now, many of the reliable blogs have been stating that they are hearing end of February or even possibly first week of Feb...

what do u guys think?

my gut is telling me March 17th...my hope is otherwise obviously ha

I'm inclined to go with what the panda says. he was spot on with the iPhone way before the 1/11 announcement or the announcement of a 1/11 event. i hope he is off, but i think he has concrete info.

I would go with the panda as well. In giant corparations things change fast and if they think they can get more money by releasing it early, they may. But I believe the Panda is acting in good faith based on his best knowledge, which holds more weight in my mind than rumors started by who the heck knows. Oh, and his track record is hovering above 95%, while the AC rumor mill is just below 50...

Disclaimer: This is not the fault of AC. They are an outstanding news orginization. They are just passing along information they recieve and think we might be interested in. I'm positive they are not in the bussiness of just spreading BS to get us all worked up or drive traffic.

like the others said, my comment certainly was not meant to in any way contain a slight towards AC. You guys do a great job and the Android community is better for having you.

That said, the Panda has been shockingly accurate and that was what I based my previous post on. HOWEVER, he just put out a tweet earlier saying (and this is paraphrasing it), that he was sorry he'd been quiet and to "expect major updates on key launches later"

If I had to choose I too would choose the Panda. He is in the know about a lot of things regarding VZW. of course he does work for them.
