ota updates are better. What do you want to have to physically need a computer in front of you with a data cable for your updates, like with winmo? I gladly welcome ota updates vs usb data transfer updates.

They are okay, I guess, IF you know beforehand what they are, and can manually initiate them. But done without your knowledge, perhaps nullifying your hacks, no way.

the updates have to initiated manually, even with the incredible. the notification will just keep popping up telling you there is an update needed for your phone. Why wouldn't you want to do any updates, that doesn't make sense. Also software updates with android don't erase your settings like with winmo. Some hacks will change but 95% of them will be the same as before the update.

LOL. You a funny dude. And, yeah, you never know what lengths a person might go through to get a discount or something for free. I would think it would be kinda hard for anyone to be able to get away with making a fraudulant receipt. There's so many things that you would have to replicate on the fake receipt to make it legit. Add to that, your name has to be on the reserve list to even have a phone waiting for you. If you're name isn't on the list ... you could have a real receipt and walk into BB and odds are, you wouldn't be leaving with an Evo.

well there are 2 ways, you cna remove out the colors to plain black and plain white, then place a white layer that is cut out on top of the original (the pro way)

or just simply replicate it from scratch in photoshop.

I'm also aware that after a year or whatever, this phone will be "crap", just like everyone is now whining about the TP2 (yet it was so great when it came out). This pattern repeats over and over.

This will be the first new hotness phone that I've ever gotten when it first came out. I only first got my mogul well after the TP was out and then got upgraded to a TP and only a week and a half ago I got upgraded to a TP2. I'm still in love with my TP2 and I miss my TP. I guess I'm not as picky as some.

Anyway, point is, I'm excited to be part of the first rounders this time, for the first time!

UM........just talked to a Best Buy rep over the phone.........told me about the giftcard trick...........but also told me they don't do the rebate.......they just sell you the phone for $199 if you're a new customer or if you're eligible for an upgrade!

Guess I'll be going to Best Buy and not the sprint store.....where I will most likely have to camp out and snipe whoever walks up to the door Friday morning (unless they work there)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
