Hi all. Nothing earth shattering to share, however, I wanted to address the potential for the 9/10 release.
Some have posted that they were 'told' by their 'rep' that the stores would get the phones a few days prior to release. Well at the King of Prussia Verizon store (very busy from what i understand) the chowderheadz had never heard of the phone. So there is still the minute possibility of an internet or B2B release on the 10th but it looks like a slim possibility at the stores seeing as though they can't deliver the phones on a Sunday
.
Now, they did not have a dummy phone of the i760 but all 4 of the hard working Verizon reps were working diligently to serve customers. Not me of course. I had inquired about a broken 730 car charger and was met with a response that would have made droopy dog proud. Useless!!! Anyway - no info on the 760, blah blah blah, etc, etc, etc.
I did have a period of validation (typically few and far between so please indulge me) when a woman was asking for assistance and was met by another subdued and rude member of the VZW elite looking to upgrade her phone. Man, she laid into him and walked out. Came back in and asked for a manager - at which point she got the deer in headlights stare and told them to take their NE2 and shove it - she was switching companies. Yeah! Thought many on this board would love that - see you're not alone.
One more discounted iPhone for AT&T I guess.
So that's the story of the 4 dummies at the VZW and the on topic concern about a Monday, in-store release date.
Cheers!
Jay
