No. We don't.
Seriously, I hate to be rude, but there are quite literally* 37,046 other threads on this topic already and no, there is no release date.

Honestly we need a dedicated thread on this. All other LTE threads are all off topic from the original post. This should also remain in the General thread as it needs attention. While it is a question, I think the General forums are best for this topic as it will encompass all aspects of the release such as the LTE outrage and the likes.
I think it should also be stickied for a specific time as tons of US users like me keep hovering on XDA to get an answer.
I also just called a few stores and got Tuesday the 13th from 2 of them.

I may be reading into it too much but your post rules out the 21st-23rd and the 31st
I think I just narrowed it down to 1 of 19 days!!!
On a more serious note, I would like to know why Verizon Won't take my money yet?
Maybe the 9th, possibly the 13th, could very well be the 15th. Those are the latest round of rumored dates and beyond that the Big Red exec said they wanted it out by EOY. I'm hoping Tuesday, but disappointment is running rapid these days so anything goes.
never! bwaa ha haaa

Hello,
just wanted to request an official Motorola Defy section here at xda-developers.
I think the section is urgently needed since the Defy sells quite good (good price!) and people are interessted in modifying it.
But they don't have a discussion platform so that it gets hard to work with the phone.
If there'll be no Defy section, I think, there'll be many threads regarding the Motorola Defy spread all over xda...not a good imagination.
I would like to see the section soon
Thanks in advance!
Best regards,
DunkDream
Cool beans, I am supportive of this endeavor as well
+1 for a defy section
i completly agree with you a section is urgently needed for the Motorola Defy
Agree. It would be great
Agree!!!
Check out the twin thread in General discussion, there are many other people who ask for a defy section.
Of course, +1 for a defy section
+1 for a defy section

Yup, we need own defy section.
+1 for a defy section
+1 for me as well
+1 for me, it is in the Top 10 selling list in Germany
+1 for Defy section !
first post because I registered here so I could "vote" for a Defy section.
+1
it's about time..
Deffo +1 for Defy section, its my next phone and I'm getting one next week, hopefully we'll have one by then
Somehow our threads don't get the attention of some moderator.
Does anybody have an idea to which persons we should send PMs regarding the category?
I really want to talk about the bootloader etc. since it's quite important.
I think there's much work that needs to be done with the DEFY.
OK people.
Got news.
Svetius told me, that they will set up a Motorola Defy category early next week.
Good news I guess.
Hope the Defy community will grow in the future...it's a greeeaaat phone!
I'm looking forward to work with you guys

The OP of the New Forums on XDA thread ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=616206 ) where I posted the other threads talking about the DEFY. At least that is my understanding.
Hopefully it will be noticed in that thread now that some others are adding their votes over there and a PM won't be necessary, but time will tell.

getting mine delivered tomorrow, this is an awesome device and very understated imo. At £115 for the phone and £10 per month (100 mins/100text/free booster/unlimited internet) on a 2 year contract direct from t mobile here in the UK, thats a total contract price of £355 - the phone itself retails at between £300-£330, its also a bloody bargain. And the because its bought directly from t-mobile you get the proper mobile internet plus package that gives you 3GB allowance and access to higher download speed (as opposed to 1gb if you purchased from somewhere else)
looking forward to getting it rooted and doing a bit of modding whoop!
(apologises as you can see I'm new phone happy)
Pretty sad that I have to resort to these "unofficial builds" due to the incompetency of Samsung/Sprint (not sure who to blame). These delays in getting out new code to what I would consider their flagship device is BEYOND SAD.
Anyway, early on we got the DK builds fairly quick. Any idea why DL is taking so long to leak?
Please stop creating threads here. Your questions should go in the General Section.

I am specifically asking about DL development builds. They should go into general??? Really????
Yes, really. Your threads have nothing to do with development, hence they are in the wrong section. Take a look at the General Section for examples of what kinds of threads go there.
My understanding is that the development forum is for threads containing ROMs, kernels, WIP development threads... Not threads with questions asking why we don't have this or that. Who cares about a DL build anyway? As far as leaks go, DK28 is super clean. The devs here have done some killer work with it too. Personally, I don't care about another leak unless it's maybe Gingerbread.

None of the D builds matter anymore. New year, new letter. We are at EA right now. E being 2011, A being January.
I know this. But we are all still running D builds because we STILL haven't gotten a leak this year. It's been a whole week! We should have JELL-O by now.

It might be fruitful to list the features you hope to see in a new 2.2 leak which are not present in the most recent leaked 2.2 version.

There is a Q&A section at the top of this dev forum. And by the way the rules do say to ask ALL questions in the General section or Q&A.
why CANT we have have a Q & A like the real popular phones? does it really matter that much

Apparently Sprint doesn't see the Epic as their flagship device. Actually pretty sure they don't. They have the Evo at the top of their list.

Is it just me or shouldn't be mandatory to have the dates entered in the titles of threads in the development sections? I know it's mandatory throughout many other device forums, I'm not sure why it isn't on this one, and others that I've seen. I believe is makes everything much easier to follow rather than a sling of rom names and / or version numbers, etc.
I'm on the fence on this because I'm so appreciative of the Devs who support the T989 with quality Roms.
On one hand I think they should run their threads however they like with reason but on the other it would make keeping up with development a whole lot easier.
I remember when the ICS leak dropped I was all kinds of confused (still am a little) on their update frequencies. This made it a bit more difficult to pinpoint a Devs work ethic (which I factor in as well as quality) because it was untimely coupled with posts from anybody bumping threads up for any reason.
M&S has one of the best titles to his threads because he updates the date, and Rom version with titles so I can't miss his from a mile away.
With that said it would be nice to have dates (especially for those who don't frequent XDA daily) or in the least change the Rom versions in the title.
I don't mind searching but it would be quicker/efficient for dates.
Can you imagine when TMob drops the official ICS...
Not sure how Dates will help? Revision is just the same, forcing a Date to be Posted wont make the Revision any newer...
this is imo that is, most times you can just check the last time the posted was edited to know when it was last updated.

I don't mind searching a bit to see an OP's timestamp edits.
However, the dates imo help with breaking down a Rom's status quicker by scrolling the forum threads by title without much digging than that.
I think the dates would help those who aren't on XDA much because they can catch up quicker on Rom changes.
Also, I think it's easier for those use the XDA app primarily because (as far as I've searched) it doesn't readily show timestamps for edits in OPs.
I don't view titling threads with dates as increasing development speeds just readily available info. I hope others don't as well, cause great things come over time
The devs don't do enough already...lets add more BS. Dl

you don't like version number but you want dates. that does not make sense. moving forward a date, is the same as moving up a version number.
Why do all the regular users here keep thinking they know how the show should be run for us devs. We're doing our part for you guys, just do yours and deal with our threads they way we choose to set them up.

the only difference between last modified on the op and a date in the title is that last modified could be fixing a typo or something. imo, revision number is just as good, but one or the other is/should be necessary because just checking the thread title is easy (i.e. i'm lazy). though, some revision numbers are inconsistent. and a date usually makes it easy to tell if something is based off the newest leak or not (which THAT should be mandatory: the android version number and the build/leak it's based off cause i've seen a bunch of roms missing that basic info in the op).
Imposing too many rules on devs who provide a free service is a bad idea. Leave things the way they are.
I vote no.
I think it should be mandatory for users to open a thread and read the op and changelog before asking if there was an update. Derp.

suggesting rules on someone who is giving away something for free ......
well im sure you can get my drift.
be thankful, and do a little more reading.
To add with previous comment. There is no need to cater to people who want to flash a ROM without reading OP. ROM Manager tried to do this and all that ended up happening is people bricking their device because they got used to flashing without reading and as soon as a International s2 ROM was accidently posted in t989 rom section you had people bricking.
I vote no, the developers can choose to post and manage their threads how they see fit....besides...its not that hard to open up the thread and look at the bottom of the OP and see the last time it was updated...
Yes, yes and yes. Why is it a big deal to let people know by looking at a thread title when it was updated? Why make someone open a thread and search for when it was revised? If you are putting a revision number in there, why not a date? It is not so much imposing a rule as it is a valid suggestion to help the end user. Is it really that big of a request that someone would stop developing because they were asked to put a date in the title? Getting real tired of hearing all the crying about devs doing this for free as well. If you are going to post work on a forum you are going to get requests, you may get criticism, you will definitely get repeat questions and people that have no clue. Yes it is free, and it is on your own time and all that, but no one is forcing anyone to come here either.
I do appreciate the work that is done here, I would probably still be using a cry phone if it wasn't for this community and having the ability to customize my device. So thank you to all the devs that do this because they enjoy doing it.

Appreciate the honesty as opposed to voting one way and posting another.
On the other hand I do think its funny but not unexpected that people think it is asking too much to ask people to posts only dev related information in dev topics or not post duplicate questions (ie read before posting) but its not too much to ask for a new rule on devs.
Gimme gimme gimme some more.

posting trash in dev threads and not being arsed to read thread edit dates and track version numbers of development that interests you are two different things, but both bad habits that users could possess
the fact that every dev posts a change log just makes this suggest even more ridiculous.
Keep micromanaging the devs to death and they will just go elsewhere. It is the truth.

If the last few weeks have proven anything it is that people dont see those things as bad habits but things to be proud of.
After further deliberation I vote: No
To me Roms/Kernels/etc are like cars/engines/etc. if one is given either for free and it has been proven worldwide that it wont hurt one who uses it...
Wouldn't the model info be enough... I believe so.
Eugene's right, it's not like dates make it fresher.
In fact I think threads without it gives the Rom/Kernel/etc. timelessness.
I love Android/T989 forums.
Its where questions/comments are met with... passion.
Those IOS forums have no clue what they're missing out on. lol
People seem to forget that xda is a knowledge sharing site and those that share shouldn't be slapped with stupid rules and regulations on how they choose to title their work. My 2 cents.
