I walked in to Verizon with my i730 on my hip three days after I bought it, and I asked the guy when they were going to get their i730s in, and he said, "oh they won't be released until September as they got pushed back.". I showed him mine and he said "oh you must have gotten one early, but the public won't get it until Sept". I said that they will be out in two weeks for the public and he didn't believe me, but oh well.

Don't believe those people, they just aren't informed.

Now I called "Ethan" today about 12 times. We played phone tag all day, and I spent most of the day at the Indy Speedway so he would call when the cars were running. We never did get to meet up last week, but I talked with him for about 20 mins. He said that it's most likely going to be in June. They want it out as soon as they can. He said, and I am quoting, "5% chance of a May release, 75% chance of a June release, and 20% chance of a July release." I said, come on, you should know the exact date, and he said that maybe he does and maybe he doesn't, but that is what he told me I could say to the public... Man he likes to be cryptic...
Great news, Michael. I was almost in information withdrawal last week when you didn't get the chance to meet with 'Ethan'. As always, thanks for the info, and for that oh so tiny sliver of hope that we'll see this as early as May, though we know it's June. Thanks again.
