I don't think vzw is even interested in advertising this device to the general public. It's aimed at tech savvy high end business users, and I'm sure they know that the forums have been buzzing over this device for months, which is probably adverdising enough. For example, yesterday I called my local government sales rep just to try and buy it early. While he acknowledged the TP2 would be available on Friday, he still tried to shove the ozone, omnia, and others down my throat, assuming I wouldn't be interested in the TP2 b/c of its cost. (I probably would have gladly paid more for the device than the $199 touted everywhere.) Either way, on Friday morning I'm going to see what price I can get on-line, with rebates, NE2 and all, then call the rep and see if he can beat that price with additional discounts such as this "customer appreciation" discount I've heard about.
