i think the MAJOR problem in people's minds is most people dont know the difference between a "good" source and a "bad" source. Emails from CS or anyone in Sprint is a BAD source of info. Talking for a phone rep is a BAD source of info. Talking to any in-store rep is a BAD source on info. Those are all low-paid drones who dont know half the things we even know about phones getting an hourly salary and mostly teenagers/younger adults who dont give a crap about you (or just PO'ed at the world). Personally knowing someone inside Sprint who works for them is a GOOD (well better) surce of info. Working in Sprint (not low-level rep, but an actual engineer or programmer) and actually knowing the right info is a good source.
But people come in here posting emails CS wrote them, my dog's friends owner said this etc. off the wall crap. Or they write HTC and get a cookie cutter answer and take it verbatim (or the opposite making assumptions out of nothing). Any person whos on the phone or emailing you can be anybody they want- you have no clue who they are or what their rank or position is really 99% of the time (or could just be incompetent). Or even futhermore, they mostly get paid to sit there all day and answer questions all day for HTC or Sprint and skim your email and repsond as quick as they can no matter what crapola or falsifications they spew. But people dont take that into account and then come here blurting out 100 dates that end up being totally crap information.
This is why people doubt emails from anyone claiming to be anyone important. unless you physically know the person (still then doesnt mean theyre reliable) I'd take it with a huge grain of salt.

First off i take offense at the term low level reps. I am an in store rep/tech and i agree that some of "us" dont know right from left but alot of us are just like you and we are very well informed. Most of the time an "in-store rep" is reporting what they read on a forum like this. IMO we should just wait until the "official" release happens dont post "insider info" because MOST insiders dont know anymore than low level reps. plus with the geniuses we have here i will never use an offical ROM again, I will just wait until No2Chem or DCD or JD comes out with thier version. I dont mean to rant or upset anybody but you dont have to be a programmer just to be informed, thats all i am saying
