"That Mr. Anderson is the sound of inevitability..." Yes the i760 is on its way.. This thread is about to be closed and I thought I would squeeze one more post into it... This thread has been a milestone in many ways, so lets recap its importance! I know its off topic... but what about this thread IS
on topic these days... Still I continue to come back and read it, like I've been sucked into a bad suspense novel... I know how its going to end.. but after this long I want to see its final entry!
Originally I was going to try a synopsize the events of the thread from KBAM's initial post and each time a perceived release date dashed our hopes and dreams... but you can just read the whole thread for that, if you have a few days to spare.. So here are some milestones that I've noted along the way to recap:
-This thread has taken the throne as the longest thread on the site, taking the crown from the release and rumor thread of the Kyo7135
-To my recollection I can't recall a phone that has taken this long to get to market after its existence is discovered (I may be corrected on that one)
-Equus, in a fit of beta tester frustration, defects Vzw and gets (aagh) an iphone -I never thought I would see the day
-I believe the mods set a PDAPhone.com record for the number of times they had to say "Stay on Topic.."
-iProb8 finally had his birthday
-Dangerous may have gotten a phone he can't break
-Our mole "Ethan" is born
-A grass roots movement forms to buy the first devices for MRailing and SuperDave for early hacking! I've never seen that happen on a forum. Amazingly even one of the "40" wouldn't give up thier gizmo for them! It must be good!
-Tange1 cuts his moderator teeth on trying reign in the rumor thread topics...MRailing gets promoted to Uber-Mod
-SKU-you: A lucky few figure out how to get the VZW machine to ship out a batch of i760's...I sure a few Vzw Corporate heads rolled for that one... the lucky ones will always be refereed to as the "40"
-This thread gets so long that it causes PDAphone.com to buy a new Server!
Thanks to Pastor Tim for all the fine photoshops along they way...Did I miss something.. I'm sure I did. Have a good day all and enjoy those you new i760!
