Would it be unprecedented for a major phone to be available for purchase the same day it's announced? Even Apple isn't doing that.

Well I've seen price drops effective the moment it was announced, but that's different..

i may be wrong but that hasnt happend since flip phones... the moto razr i think was in stores the same day as announcement

Depending on the time of day, they could announce it in London before dawn on the East Coast and still have it available on Verizon same day. Wishful thinking, of course.

Your dream about having the device released the same day it gets announced might become true.

this also might push back the date to sell the device maybe by a few days. i guess we will all have to wait and see. its down to this and the htc vigor for me. and the depends on how they run in my hands and how they feel in my pocket. just my opinion. most likely going to be rooted anyway at somepoint.
I really wish that we could root these devices and keep our warranties that would be really really nice. maybe add in some stipulation on what we can do with roots. we all over clock im sure when we root. but maybe instead of saying no overclocking, say that we can go from this range to that range and not push beyond.. what ever.
anywho got off subject
I think that this phones going to be great. just like the many others. it sucks that the iphone 4s is what it is. I love android but respect the idevices. I never understood why they made the i3 then the i3gs now the i4 and i4s (love that they excluded the G) i believe this phone will be up there with other great high ends like the vigor and the what the i5 will be and the droid razr.
what does everyone else think?

I was all over the Vigor, figured it was the right size, right look, UI, display, etc. But we haven't seen a solid release date, and when I looked at some leaked photos that weren't posted on PA the phone looks just as thick as the Thunderbolt. It's going to come down to feel in the hand/pocket for me too, but being an AMOLED fan, seeing that thin curved screen and overall size of the phone I'm definitely leaning toward the Prime. Thought the Vigor would beat it to market but it's not looking that way now.

You missed a bit Phone Arena.
There is another event happening that same day, in London. It's Day 2 of Nokia World, when Nokia is to announce it's Windows Phone devices. The timing of this may be coincidental, but moving the event to London makes me suspicious that this is to make sure Nokia Windows Phone isn't the big show in town and that the media is drawn from there to Samsung's event instead. Granted, nokia's big announcements wil likely be on the day before, but it still comes of as stealing Nokia's thunder and ensuring the tech community are talking android again, even while Nokia's event is still going on.

Sounds like crafty business strategy to me. Google/Samsung couldn't steal Apple's thunder, so they'll steal Nokia/MS's instead.

Droid-life is reporting that PCMag’s Sascha Segan confirmed with Samsung PR that there will not be an October 27 event in London.http://www.droid-life.com/2011/10/07/google-and-samsung-choose-october-27-for-ice-cream-sandwich-event-in-london/

I agree with their assessment. Setting aside how well Android phones sell in Europe...It would make little sense for Google, a huge US company, to introduce a product as huge as ICS overseas where it's far less convenient for our reporters. Add in that it's supposed to begin as a Verizon exclusive and the idea makes no sense at all.
Hoping an Oct. 27 launch is still in the cards though.

Hoping before Oct 27th launch. Wishful thinking but I want this damn thing right now.

saw the saddest thing today, walked by an apple store in the mall, and there were flowers, notes and people crowded around a picture of jobs, i wanted to write a note too, but even more than that i was surprised that people knew who jobs was, because every I ask, says who the f**k is steve jobs, he's in the news

October 27th isn't the date. Other sites have already confirmed this as false. Get with the program.
