Were they?
That's what I was thinking, re-fitting the production line isn't cheap, and adding one would be cost prohibitive. And, where did they find some room for NFC and 3G+ innards. Wait, I get it, the "bulge" on the back is based on pre-production models! I wonder if it'll get hot in there, new processor and all.
C'mon back to Wyoming, we miss you! Just one thing, bring a suitcase full of cash, Jackson Hole is just a bit different than 20 years ago.

Obviously with the price reduction, they are flying out the door in droves. I should know, I'm one who bought because of the price drop. I have no shame in admitting that (why should I? I saved 4 bones
). So, no, I don't think there's a "Warehouse 13" with stockpiles of inventory. If there is, someone's not doing their job right.
With all the talk of major brand stores not stocking them, and all the front page news of RIM's challenges, it might "appear" to those of us with no inside knowledge that they might be discontinued. I never said they wouldn't.
But I don't THINK they will discontinue. I have no way of knowing any more or less than anyone else. It's just my opinion.
It's not a contest and we can all speculate all we want. Time will tell how they choose to move forward from here. I still believe they will continue to make the first generation and price the second generation higher. My reason is the same. They still make older version phones, even after the newer versions come out. It's called variety.Last edited by cntrydncr223; 01-27-12 at 12:44 AM.

Jackson Hole was not cheap when I was last there. But we stayed with someone we knew. I only had to purchase two new mt bike tires. The the ski-sled trip was downright cheap!01-27-12 08:37 AM -
I suddenly feel insulted....... I think you need to tone that down a bit and Generalize it.
I work For Staples and i am pretty sure i can read the market and read what i find here.
Again doesn't go for ALL brick and mortar stores but some of us actually give useful and truthful information.

01-28-12 06:08 AM - Too true. I was in the local Best Buy and asked the salesflack to tell me about the PB and the 7" Acer tablet. He said the PB came with all the blackberry functions such as BBM, that both tablets ran on the Android OS with access to all the Android apps
, and that they were basically the same functionally. No point even trying to educate him.01-29-12 10:47 AM
