    Sweet! Someone in NYC get some pics up once they have the ads in place. That seems like it would be cool to see

    You do realize how many boards that is right? I'm pretty sure VZW can't afford that.

    That being said, I'll look and take pics.

    EVERY single billboard seems a bit excessive, but cool nonetheless. i would assume it would cost a FORTUNE though.

    was just in times square and not one in sight

    not sure but i doubt OP has been to times square before or doesn't remember

    theres literally 5,000 signs in times square...most notably the prudential one at the top and the ramen noodle one

    i am willing to bet theres just a few ads probably saying 'coming soon' lol

    not sure if this was already mentioned, but there are 5 Storm billboards at the entrance of Penn station. just took the pics.

    they might hit up times square sonner rather than later.

    He's not BS'ing us. He probably did hear it but is weary to believe it himself. That's what the FWIW part is about.....

    yea how is that a joke?

    a joke is how bad RIM is becoming as a company when they get a little competition from apple

    the op was serious and i just think was underestimating how many ads there are in times square!

    Ok I was just posting what I was told. Couple of points. They claim they rented the space I never said their up. Second yes I have been to TS and it is a huge task to get all of them. I understand everyones impatience I am in the same boat. I was just passing what I was told and that's why in big ole caps I put FWIW. I have no reason to doubt my VZW guy he has always treated me right with discounts and news and such. I was just trying to let you all know what I heard.
