Signed! Fingers crossed we get it. Got my global version coming in during the next week or so
Signed!
Don't own the device but I still signed it. A phone like this deserves every bit of freshness and as a lover of bezel less phones I'd consider buying this one as long as there's an active development going on.
Also you might want to consider sharing the petition on social media such as Twitter. Don't think it'll be too difficult finding the people who already own a nex.

RUMOUR CONTROL:
V speaking here:
Guys the board is getting an increasing amount of legal attention and the Moderators and Admins have discussed this, and we are not prepared to host or directly link to downloads of Crossbow at this time.
Please don't upload it to the XDA ftp without speaking to a moderator. This isn't about being clever, it's about staying legal.
Those who want it know who's got it.... [please don't write to me asking for copies. I don't have it]
PLEASE DO NOT UPLOAD OR LINK to this file for now.
This will be a bannable offence, 1 warning only
Also, please be aware.
There are crossbow roms out there that will permanently lock your phone radio and cause potential bricking. Use caution.

"We have been contacted by microsoft, they let us knwo that the version of windows mobile also known as crossbow on our servers is in violation of their copyrights.
Therefore we have / will remove(d) all copies from our servers."
I wouldn't change the threads but just make clear the files will no longer be there, there is no need to remove everything that has been discussed about crossbow simply because M$ askes us to remove the files, we're allowed to disscuss it

Speaks for itself I think. I told them about all you geniuses here and invited them to check out the site. Hopefully something incredible will come of this...
i saw this a few days ago and it looks like it's going to be very interesting. i'm going to try it out because i hate having to use a stylus
Alot of what they are trying to accomplish has been done already via WAD and Mortscript.
Do not get your hopes up.
- You can not register in the forums since no activation mails are being sent out.
- If you report this to the only e-mail address I have found on the page you will get no reply.
- If you try to get in contact with the persons behind the project and the homepage you will get no reply
- No one is answering the comments made on the page
- No betaversions has been published as far as I understand it, only screenshots
This does not mean that I think that the whole thing is a scam or anything like that - just that for a project that is actively seeking betatesters they for sure are making it hard (impossible) for people to actually getting involved. Not to mention the fact how they handle bugreports for their own homepage.
I had no problems registering in the forums there, and the creators answered some technical questions yesterday. This project is very young, looks like it was only started this month. Give it some time, and if they decide to check this site out, I hope it can lead to a good thing and not have them be put off by scorn and doubt.
i had no problems registering either; i do not beleive it is a scam, they did not say they are going to charge people for the software/application.
Congrats! Inform the ones running the show then that many visitors have not been able to register since they do not reply to any e-mail or provide with any information as on why things are not working. And no, this is not just me - check the comments - there are a large number of people not being able to register.
And in my book - any project that does not respond to bugreports is in trouble.
Very awesome! I can't wait until its final release, thanks for sharing!

This isn't a request about getting the Honeycomb on the G-Tab, so lighten up, Francis.
My question is more about the source code for Android 3.0 and how Google goes about releasing that to the public. I don't really understand their processes in developing a new OS and releasing it for the world to use.
Do they typically only provide it to hardware developers like Motorola, then after a period of time give it to anyone else that wants it?
When they post it, it will be available to anyone to download...
http://source.android.com/index.html
Sooo, my question was more about the processes they go through to get to that point. I know it'll be on the source code page "when it's ready"...but I'm looking for maybe an overview of what it is that they're doing from a business perspective to get it to the masses.

I just want you guys to know, when Honeycomb development starts, I'll be right behind you every step of the way.
On a more serious note, here's their explanation of their release process:
"What is involved in releasing the source code for a new Android version?
Releasing the source code for a new version of the Android platform is a significant process. First, the software gets built into a system image for a device, and put through various forms of certification, including government regulatory certification for the regions the phones will be deployed. It also goes through operator testing. This is an important phase of the process, since it helps shake out a lot of software bugs.
Once the release is approved by the regulators and operators, the manufacturer begins mass producing devices, and we turn to releasing the source code.
Simultaneous to mass production the Google team kicks off several efforts to prepare the open source release. These efforts include final API changes and documentation (to reflect any changes that were made during qualification testing, for example), preparing an SDK for the new version, and launching the platform compatibility information.
Also included is a final legal sign-off to release the code into open source. Just as open source contributors are required to sign a Contributors License Agreement attesting to their IP ownership of their contribution, Google too must verify that it is clear to make contributions.
Starting at the time mass production begins, the software release process usually takes around a month, which often roughly places source code releases around the same time that the devices reach users."
http://source.android.com/faqs.html
So it sounds like they go through the regulatory and operator process, then release it to the manufacturers while at the same time going through their own preparations. But it's a different process, which is why manufacturers can end up releasing their products before the source code is made available to the public.
Too Funny!

Closing thread to avoid inevitable flaming war due to post being about Honeycomb. Good overall question though.

http://www.engadget.com/2011/05/10/google-partners-with-oems-and-carriers-to-guarantee-android-upda/
We're here live at Google I/O, and the folks from Mountain View have just shared something rather sweet -- a coalition of manufacturers and carriers committed to making sure their Android devices receive the very latest updates. All four major US carriers (and Vodafone) as well as HTC, Samsung, Sony Ericsson, LG and Motorola are on board, and all will guarantee you timely upgrades to the latest version of Android for eighteen months after release, provided the hardware's capable. Now that's change we can believe in.

Good news?
Also Honeycomb 3.1
http://www.gsmarena.com/events_roun...okia_and_microsoft_later_in_may-news-2629.php
great news. had this program been in place a year ago there wouldn't be so many bad attitudes in the vibrant forum -_-
What does "timely" mean? And does this represent a change from what they were previously doing? My impression is that most/all of these companies would say that they already roll out updates in a "timely" fashion, regardless of what we impatient users think, and that this is just a commitment not to stop doing that.
lol we'll see. i'll believe it when it happens, but my fingers are crossed cuz that'd be awesome!
don't hold your breath.
I think an actual number should be set in place like 3 months after initial release of the newest version of android? Im not sure if thats reasonable or not but the galaxy S series didnt even start getting 2.2 updates until 2.3 was released. Thats just plain wrong haha.
Google announcement bad news for G2X
This is typical Google BS - saying one thing and getting everyone ready for that, and then turning everything upside down with a different "plan".
2.4 was supposed to be a functional update for 2.3 the optimize it for dual core performance. If you search "android 2.4" - you will still see most links stating just that.
Now, from the above announcement link, it is supposed to be the end-all OS for all devices. Don't expect to see that any time soon now. The "original" 2.4 was supposed to be coming out soon, and I was looking forward to a port or possibly even an G2X/O2X update.
I am annoyed enough with Google that I suggest that take their "Ice Cream Sandwich" and stick it both up where the sun does not shine and where it will melt!
I want a duel core OS and I want it now, as per their earlier alleged plan - it was due out in April.
Bull****. We won't be seeing 2.3 anytime soon.
Anybody heard of this new phone to be released in August? Just asking because I would like more details on it. Such as hardware details, OS details etc. And the possibility that the bootloader is unlocked and maybe someone is already working on root method?

AFAIK the phones offered by Freedom Phones are Pixel 4 and Pixel 4XL running GrapheneOS.

Thank you for the information but I think we may be talking about 2 different organizations. The link you provided is .net and the one I posted is .com. Not only that but the freedom phone from your post has graphene OS while the one from my link uses freedom OS.

I saw that on the NTD channel on YouTube (it's a conservative news channel that YT would never recommend)
https://www.youtube.com/c/ntdtv/videos
They were saying that the Freedom Phone is a plan by a guy who become a millionaire by his age of 18, because he invested in Bitcoin. So, a prejudice warning right there.
Next, they said that his main concern was that it is hard to source the hardware (really?), because the big names in cell phone business do dominate the industry, while none of them interested in privacy. (True).
So, he had figured out how to get the hardware and his new freedom phone is flying off the shelves, because it is a revolutionary new concept where the phone has his own store and doesn't allow the network location scanning and so on, so basically it is a de-googled phone.

Conservatives are touting this phone to be patriotic, etc... but there are articles claiming its a cheap chinese knockoff with huge security issues, likely built in to the phone at the request of the NSA for snooping purposes.
