This is a bit odd.

While trying to not get my hopes up, yet trying to keep myself from dying of boredom, figured I'd scope around the VZW website for the heck of it. (Now, I'm not exactly "accustomed" to the VZW site, or their CSRs, seeing how I was an Alltel customer less than 6 months ago so if I'm mistaken, please correct me.) =P

Firstly, I figured I'd tease around with the online CSRs for a bit, since it's "the day before the phone is launched." (Yes, I know they're normally a lost cause, but you don't know until you try.)

Started out by asking about the "Rhodium," didn't mention HTC or anything else... they apparently did not know about the phone in question. I then asked about the "HTC Touch Pro 2," and got "Unfortunately, I do not have access to future phone releases." Now, I'm surprised they said this for two reasons: firstly, Verizon hasn't announced the phone officially. Secondly, I'm surprised they even KNOW what the phone is, since most people make it out that service reps don't know about a phone until, or possibly directly before, a phone is released.

Next, Verizon has a "Global Ready" option under the phone feature selection thingy. As I said, I'm not totally familiar with the site, so this could've been here for some of the Blackberrys... if it was, please correct me.

False hope, I know... but I'm just so sick of waiting. D=
