Topics will fluctuate in these rumor threads, BUT if you read each time I have posted, then you will see the previous 10 or more posts were about stuff COMPLETELY unrelated to the i760, it's release and rumors. If you are discussin the i760 then great, but when it's about leaving Verizon, how well a Q works, how pretty the iPhone is, that isn't needed, stick to the i760 and all is well. And now everyone is complaining about what the topic is, and again more posts go by. Yes it's asked to keep the discussion in this thread, but there are other threads in the forum for general discussion. I will go back and edit the stickies and forum headers if you feel it must be done. That was posted to keep the i760 discussion in here, and my posts about keeping the discussion on topic is to keep the general i760 discussion and it's rumors and release in this thread, not just general banter about anything. You all should be adults if you are here, and should be able to follow general forum etiquette. It's just courtesy to keep discussions on their posted topics.
I point no fingers at people in this thread about off-topic discussion. It's a general post to try and steer the conversation back on topic. Sure posts are done in this thread, and yes even I am guilty of off topic discussions, but the closer to release a device comes, the more posts happen in these threads, and when you have on average around 80 posts/day in this thread, then it makes it hard to find the real information when it's posted, especially when around 50-60 of those posts aren't discussing the i760 at all.
JDCJ, I just re-read my sticky and the quote about the i760 and GPS. In my sticky I say
Quote:

. Again that says discussion about the i760, not about iPhone, marketing, why you are waiting for XXX new device.
The i760 has yet to be released, and unless you have used it, and know first hand on a subject like GPS and how it works, then there shouldn't be new threads on it, since it's all speculation at this point. Yes there are threads comparing the specs of the i760 to things like the iPhone, and that is fine, because that would just complicate things here.
So again, my posts aren't meant to say "ONLY WHEN YOU KNOW A RELEASE DATE", it's pointed at those discussions which aren't even needed in this forum. If you have a question about the i760 or information on when it's coming out, this is where you post it. If you want to post about the iPhone, go to the iPhone forum, if you want to discuss ways that Verizon is marketing, go to the lounge, if you want to talk about why you no longer like Verizon and are thinking about going to "joe blow" network, try the lounge or someplace else, it's just a matter of organization and discussion.
Simply put, this thread is a discussion of the SCH-i760, it's upcoming release, and rumors and discussion about the SCH-i760. Other topics take elsewhere.
