Your shots are up to date right?

[aximtreo]

Yep, shots up to date and I took a double dose of ExLax to clean the remnents of IOS and Android from my system. Fresh mind and fresh GI; ready to do.

LOL Good one ! Needed that laugh.. though VZW really does need that treatment ! LOL

Hopefully I wont have to go to the dark side..... All VZW has to do is announce the freaking WP7 device.. and we'll all move along..

hey guys check this out i really dont know what to make of it i e-mailed the verizon guy on the microsoft paper today (Steve Sapp) he directed me to Neal Schrepfer and here is what he said:

Matt,
We do not yet have a firm release date.. this promo will prequalify you to make the purchase, but it is not a pre sale.. you can choose which device suits you best.
This promo will not run after the launch.. it will be ended a few days prior
I will send you an email concerning the promotion

then he sent this:

You can get 100.00 per line even if they do not want to purchase a wp7
This is pre qualification, not a pre sale.. it does not require a purchase, but makes you eligible to purchase.
If you do not choose to purchase the wp7 at launch, your current upgrade dates on that line would remain the same.
Let me know if you want 100.00 each for the extension on your lines

What to do now:
· Reserve your HTC Trophy.
· Extend your agreement for 2 years, and receive $100 credit to your bill per line (family members included).
· Lock in your $199.99 device price for each line.
· Call: I have the process begun for you.. you will still need to call the 877-601-6885 to verify your electronic signature

· Promotion will continue only until devices are in market.

At time of device launch:

So i am hopeful that we will here something tomorrow. but is worries me about the elegibility through june 15, 2011 but i think that means about a renewal before june 15th but dont know for sure. the flyer still shows till tommorow the promo last and he said the promo would only last a few days prior to launch. i dont know maybe i am being naive. what do you guys think. the flyer still says april 7 last time i check. here is hoping to announcement tomorrow.

In my e-mail Steve said it would be "before the reimbursement windows closes," I wonder if he meant the June 15th date or the April 7th date...

I can't wait, I hate my current phone, Imagio, I had a TP2 and assurion replaced it with the Imagio. I WANT A KEYBOARD!!!

Anyway, My New Every 2 is eligible 6/10/11. I'm hoping that the eyephone 5 will be on Verizon and Windows 7 will be out by then and I'll make the choice. The keyboard is my primary goal which sort of kills the eyephone, but if I don't like the windows 7 phone I can trade it back within 15 days and try the eyephone.

I want my TP2 back till then!!!

Good luck getting a TP2...Verizon and Asurion does not have any more. I still have a case open with them with my cracked screen, they still have not have anything worth it unless I want android...
