Well, any personal info on the phones should be removed/pixelated regardless.

who ever posts the pics theyll see the persons i.d. stamp on it and itll be traced back quick,so you guys better crop your photos.this is why i dont share my live pics just in case.

you guys who are shouting at them to show the pics they have must suck at christmas time. let em do their thing, and let em do it the right way so they dont get themselves or others in trouble. after all, its not our job/life/whatever that has a chance to be ruined by showing pics of a phone too early, we're just the greedy forum ppl that want to see em.

Bill is right! I'm not good at cropping so someone else I talk to is going to look the photos over making sure no internal hardware pictures are taken to give anyone away! I'm not going to do it myself, I have the photo's but respect my source! You'll see the new shots shortly I promise just keep checking back!

oh well. still cant wait to see pics.

lol... this is just getting nuts. No wonder we have so many medical issues in this country. People need to learn some patience and relax a bit. My lord it is a phone, not the end of the world we are talking about here.

Believe me I want to see the final product just as bad as anyone else but to put peoples jobs at risk is insanity IMO,and it shouldn't even be asked of to do so. Specially in this job market.

I completely agree. However, saying you have the pics, but aren't going to show them is just asking for it.

If people are that concerned about confidentiality, and things of that nature, why talk about it at all, and why go to the trouble of baiting people?

That being said. As pre-release threads go, this one has been surprisingly civil. Posting that you have pics, but aren't going to post them, would be fighting words in the LG forum. Anyone remember Omie?

Originally I just agreed but it said my message was too short

You could put them in paint and use a brush tool to smear out any numbers. That's what I do with serial numbers and what not.

I think our little piece of the HoFo pie has always consistently attracted a better class of posters than many other sub forums and is generally mostly self moderating, with very little intercession from the moderators.

Same goes for the caliber of the technical information provided here.

It's a different culture here...and I'm very appreciative of that fact!
