    Here is my story.

    I've made a couple of posts mentioning information I receive from a family friend of ours who is a Major Account Manager for Verizon. He constantly sends me any emails that are sent to him with any type of juicy information or if he hears any good rumors. I've been bugging him a lot about the Storm and today he sent me an email asking for me and my dad's info just to make sure we are eligible for an upgrade. Once I sent it to him he replied to me saying that we just need to call him on the 15th. Then I asked him if that was the set date and he said that he has been told that he can start ordering them on the 15th
    and that it will take 2 days to arrive (usually arrives the next day)

    So there you have it....more speculation.

    Verizon is killing us all. I don't know why it is taking so long to announce a date. Hopefully on the 6th they will say something. That is the first date for the hunt in NYC.

    No problem - sorry. She was getting feedback when speaking on the phone. I took into store and they swapped for a new one.

    Any word on STORM?

    FYI I am taking back into store as she is getting feedback (hearing herself) all the time. Either I will ask for replacement or a different model phone.

    He/She doesn't. They (yester18) think they have the inside track, JUST LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE, from someone on the inside. They(yester18) could be right with their guess, or not.

    Another "DB" comment. I think this guy just loves to start trouble. I'm calling his mommy. I got her number in my little black book, he needs to be put to bed without dinner.
