- Phonegeek any reason why u feel its August even if the phone comes to the field by early june and testing goes 45 days your still looking at a Mid July release, you don't think there's any chance it starts field testing in May?

- Transcript with Vodafone Sales Rep:
Chat Transcript
info: You are about to be connected to a new connection sales adviser for Vodafone UK. Please note they do not have access to existing customer details and cannot process orders or upgrades. If you have a query of this nature please contact customer services.
info: All our Representatives are currently assisting others. Thanks for your patience we'll be with you shortly.
info: You are now connected with Alvin.
Alvin: Hello, you're chatting with Alvin, one of Vodafone's online sales specialists. May I take your name please?
You: Hello Alvin, I'm Peter.
You: How are you today?
Alvin: Hi Peter
Alvin: I am fine thanks, how are you
Alvin: ?
You: Yeah, I am really good - thank you for asking.
Alvin: wow good
Alvin: Welcome to Vodafone, what brings you to our web site today?
Alvin: Welcome to Vodafone, what brings you to our web site today?
You: I've been a Vodafone customer for a while now on a SIM-only deal, and have just got off of the phone with O2 who have given me a definit release date for the Blackberry Bold Touch (28th of June) - I was wondering if the is one for Vodafone yet as I don't really want to have to wait longer then expected.
Alvin: well yes we will be getting it very soon
Alvin: trust me you wont have to wait very long
You: Ahh - they said June, so hopefully not that long. I've put myself down for the e-mail information from Vodafone. Will that get me the pricing information forwarded onto me?
Alvin: yes as soon as we release all the plans we will email you about all the plans
You: Thank you Alvin, I'll look forward to the e-mail.
You: Take care
I also used to work for Vodafone (UK) - and was recently made redundant, someone I used to work with has a Bold touch (so I hear from someone else) for testing and currently they claim (they did tell me an accurate date for the Playbook) that Vodafone is just currently ruining the device by putting their software on it.Last edited by JayceX; 05-18-11 at 01:20 PM.

Since I got e-mailed a nice little report I can fill out in the future about the sales rep which can cost them their bonus, they can't **** about and say it is soon and it then arrive in August.05-18-11 02:41 PMLike 0 - Soooooooo, does this mean we are likely NOT going to see the 9930 on Verizon sooner than later? I have a bad feeling VZW will change the pricing and THEN release the 9930.....

of course, they also may be of the "say whatever necessary to get this guy off the phone," mentality.05-20-11 09:59 AMLike 0 -
- I'm not really sure they test it more extensively. They just wanna see how the market react when other carriers launch it first. They feel that they are the current leader in phone service, they think people still will go to their service even they are launching the phone super late.05-21-11 10:59 AMLike 0
