Wow, this event is really covert.
I know there must be some in the area (NYC) who have the golden ticket!

Since I won't be buying any $500 tickets, may I request that someone please take some good side by side pix with a Treo 650? As many angles/views as possible

TIA.

I first heard that they would be handing out the new models during the launch but yesterday I heard that they will not handing them out at the launch events. They will be sent to all attendees later. Expected availablity of the new model from Cingular is middle of November.

whats the deal with these events? I live like 45 min from the one in SF. Do you just sign up and attend for free, or are they charging people who sign up? I have half a mind to sign myself up...

The 3 launches are invite only. You would need a Cingular or RIM rep to get you on the list.

Dateline Nov. 1, 2005 . . .Online and phone registration are now closed . . . take your chance of getting in at any of the launch parties by registering on-site on day of event. . . . From what I heard, priority codes at on-site registration will still be honored.

I thought you had a ticket to sell . . . & for $500!!! If you only had respond to my offer earlier, then you might be receiving your final confirmation tomorrow. . . . which I just received ----:

The event you are attending is at
Tribute NYC

My Cingular sales exec buddy has told me that each attendee will walk out with an 8700c. . . so hopefully, I'll have my pretty little fingers wrapped up around one of those babies on Tuesday.
Can someone confirm that they will be giving out 8700 units to each attendee?
Any insight in regards to the number of attendees allotted for each event?

Regards,
