mrailing, the only way to find any useful information in a thread like this is for you to make the first post and then update it weekly (or whenever) as new info comes out. this is a rambling thread which, by its very nature, is prone to rambling thoughts that might be off-topic but are all related to the wait for this phone - the frustration, the rumors, the wandering eyes to other devices and, yes, the competitors to VZW.

an updated first post would at least help solve the problem of people having to wade through pages to get the most relevant information (though that creates more work for you).

that said, i will follow the rules from now on. (though I'm thinking of making my signature "KAISER!!")
