    So I know its been rumored that RIM/VZ will be holding a press conference this week to supposedly make a big announcemet. Do you think they will finally let the cat out of the bag or will this weeks leaks spoil the party? Do you think it will have to do with the storm and its pricing/release details? Opinions please!

    I guess that should really say something. If we as bloggers and readers of blogs, are only a small percentage of buyers and BGR site basically was overloaded this weekend, mainly due to this info.....

    What is the rest of the world going to think, when this is finally advertised

    Yeah that's my fear now. November X will get here, I'll go straight from work to the VZW store and they'll say, "Oh, we sold out of them in the first hour. Come back in January!"

    And then, eyes filled with tears and head hung low, I would drag myself home.

    That's why if I don't order through telesales, I'll go FIRST thing in the morning. There is a VZW store the next block over from my job.

    I'll be ordering from their site. Normally, they apply the rebate immediately too, if there is one for this phone. I think they use the term "online discount," if memory serves. No mail in and wait rebate that way.

    Kinda hoping the site lets you order a few days before it's available. That happened with other phones. Normally you get it the next day or 2 days tops. Funny cause at this point it's all speculation. I hope a definitve date is announced soon!

    I hope when VZW releases the press release they'll fudge up the 2 yr contract price and make it lower then they really want it. I remember they did that with the Touch. It was supposed to retail for $349.99 but on the first press release they listed it as $249.99. Luckily I saved that press release on my computer and when I went to order it for my uncle I told them that the press release had said $249.99. I faxed the VZW rep on the phone and she honored it. Got the phone for $49.99 after NE2 and the old ADC.

    I just want the date for online/phone orders. Wednesday cannot come fast enough.

    I am eligible for a work upgrade so these dates cannot come fast enough for me. (Don't have to worry about pricing here. Reread the first line if you don't get why) I can't imagine going from a curve to a full touch is going to be a seemless transition, or the best type of smartphone for work, but I guess that's why they have the 30 day trial period. By the way, someone please tell that rep from the "street" commercial to come to Philadelphia so I can get my hands on one, if only for a few minutes...
