I wish i could be there to experience the whole process i am getting there at 5:00 but have to go to school at 6:30 so my grandma is going to continue the FUN process until 7 when the store opens and then she will bring it to me at school i just finished typing up very very detailed notes for her so she knows what to do when she is upgrading she isnt very technology savy

I can picture your grandma walking up to the counter at Verizon and handing over the note. They might think she's trying to rob the place.

Tell her not to keep her hand inside her purse.

she already told me the first thing she was going to do was hand the note over and i went to verizon and found a nice guy and explained him the situation and he said that he will look for her and make sure everything gets handled

laggy screen when switching scapes...

Yeah, I definitely hope they fix this in the new s/w. There was a lot of lag in the gallery when switching photos also.

Seems like there are some guys from a mobile review site talking about the storm. They seem to be talking about it wouldn't you think they would be under a non disclosure agreement. Anyways click the link if you are interested in seeing some before the release action.

well.. that didn't take long.

once we started popping in, the guy with the storm (Dave) jumped off right quickly.. said they're under embargo until Midnight and aren't allowed to talk about it.

So.. i guess that means the flood gates will be open on reviews (engadget, etc..) tomorrow. neato

Sigh The number under Thursday is Thursday night/Friday morning. Coldest day this season...has to be the day the storm hits. Hopefully *IF* anyone is waiting that they don't get nuts and actually STAND in line in that kind of temp.

BG is saying there might be a shortage of Storms in stores due to an OS flaw found at the last minute.
