Oh I'm going to try... don't worry

Stubborn is something I'm good at

Thats what it is! But at a discount, so they are normally priced.

I just switched over to a corp account last week, is there any benefit to being in the Merits program or can a Corp Account even do that ?

MHPHOCKEY was right on the money: dont expect to get an early upgrade on sunday. Bottom line, Customer Service cant do shit for you as they have the same abiliies at the store.

I was advised that it should be a week after the online debut before stores get it, or...

If i buy online, then cancel the plan, the rest of the phone (as retail) is charged to my account.

Buy it Sunday at 469 + tax or,
Wait a little bit and pay 259 +tax

Is your patience worth $200???

What did you originally have (plan)? What did you get for switching?

That'll be 2 Q's in the dumpster come Tuesday!!! NOTHING comes close to the Blackberry.

Question:

For those who have ordered phones from Verizon, does delivery require signature? I may not be at home to receive the package next week until after 6 PM each day. Is it FedEx or UPS?

before the package is out for delievery you can prolly call fedex and request to pick it up instead of them attemping to deliever it (if u kno for sure u wont be there) and pick it up after work. if they try to attempt deliver and fail, they will leave a door hanger and u can call them and pick it up the same day.

Hmmm.... that won't work for me. Guess I have to schedule being home delivery day.

whsbuss... is it fair to say that stores will have it by the 23rd?

Possible, but most likely early October. The only clue is what I reported before that the FCC docs show 10/7/06 release. My source did not give a retail stores release date. It may depend on how many units are shipped from RIM and warehouse inventories.

InPocket · 09-16-2006, 08:35 AM

looks like full retail for me.. i need this now... i guess I also have 15 days that if it comes out in stores I can return it and repurchase with the discoumt
