And if they just said 80% chance, not final yet, I would still be happier then as frustrated as I am when they try to hide new phones. And when they come out they act like we never new about them and are supposed to be amazed by how far the technology has come since the carrier down the street released it 2 months before them. And still we knew about it on a gadget site 8 months earlier when the FCC approved it for sale in the US.
Maybe we are just really dumb like that and we are just to dumb to know it...

You would be surprised of how many people have smartphones and pdas and don't know the potential of what they have. The large percentage of people who buy these phones are either people who say "i have the money and it looks cool" or it's the business people who think having phones like these are symbol of me doing even more business. There are only a small percentage of people that know the true power of the phones before they buy them. That's where companies like verizon, sprint etc... capitalize off the wannabe cool or think i can do more business thinkers. The university i'm currently attending has me amazed at how little the kids around me know about technology. They have pdas like the xv6800, touch, tilt, but still know so little about them. These kids will sit their for hours during class playing games like solitaire. if only they knew of other games out there they could play.
