This is true, I'll give you that. But if they are watching this forum and know what's slated to come down and they have a good data rep (in terms of PDAs) who will give them information, they might know a little more. But definitely talking to most sales reps from the stores, or CS, or telesales is just about useless. IE The kid that thought the orange envy was a pda. That's...that's just sad. VZW, though, is not really pushing PDAs or Smartphones. It's about the coolest phones and vcast and etc. So, I can't entirely blame the kids in stores not knowing that much about new PDAs. If they can't tell you about the features of the non-pdas, then I worry.

My source told me that she was supposed to receive her i760 a week or so back and didn't. She was @ Microsoft when they were showing it off the month prior. So she is a little worried that it got pushed back. Still saying that it is supposed to launch this month, but she doesn't sound as sure as she did before.
