Me neither. But the thing is, I think they're internal emails, not for the public.

What area of the world are you in, Zap? I have heard conflicting stories of service in the Pittsburgh area.

Thanks. You just helped me figure something out.

Stratman103,I am in Phx Az.The north end of town.I believe that service for ATT is hit or miss here.If you live in the south end of town you get better reception.I am looking forward to the storm as it looks alot like the I-phone and has alot of the same features.I never owned a BB and I am looking forward to using it and changing networks.

Right now it's 2 PM here in CA so it's almost EOB for the East Coast. I would assume they'd release it early according to PST so that both coasts get the information in a timely matter. Who knows. In the end, we'll probably just get more basic info like the types of media the phone supports.

I wouldn't consider it strange. After all the info that got leaked from Verizon. It's not surprising. Not to mention RIM wasn't too happy.

Yeah it seems I'm in about the same boat. The big thing for me is the browser. I have a... you know I don't even remember the model number... Samsung SCHsomethingorother that only has WAP internet. Essentially a waste of time. My old C-64 with a 300 baud modem was better

Ooof I just dated myself.

True. I'm sure some execs got called into a room and got an ear full. lol. Working in a corporate environment myself, I know how tightly big companies like to keep their "proprietary information" under wraps.

I can't even count the number of times I've heard, "in an attempt to prevent a total riot amongst our employees and customers, this information does not leave this room and is not to be shared with core associates."

How about -

"This disciplinary action can lead up to and include termination"

Something along those lines usually means it's time for the little man to get the KY out again while the execs reap the benefits.

But in all seriousness, what's the big deal with some details on a phone release going to do for your competition? Do you think that the CEO of AT&T is going to call up Steve at Apple and be like; "Hey man, I heard that Storm thing from Verizon is going to have a clicky screen, do you think you can knock out a new iPhone with that super secret piece of info before next month so we can beat them to the puch? Ok, cool!"

Give me a break. Stuff leaks out all the time, most of it on purpose to drive consumer interest through the roof. I swear, pretty soon they'll be teaching a class on Leak Advertising.
