hey Criticalaudioinc,
i have read all the pages of the previous thread and all the pages of this thread and you said the shipment to best buy would be on oct 24th at 12.01, do you know if this shipment or shipments are going to a central best buy location or are shipments being sent to different best buy stores?
Because if it is all being sent to one central best buy location on the 24th and say it would get there on the 25th of oct, the availability of the phones at our best buys in our different states would not be likely on the oct 26th.

Now processing is going well, we are head of schedule so everything is looking great, Now will the phone ship perfect with no issues? That can never be promised its a electronic device with software, theres always going to be a issue or two. Now has all the issues been fixed? The ones sprint is aware of they provided updates and repairs, did it fix all of them from what I can see yes, but in truth you never find the true problems until the unit is in the customers hands. So dont expect it to be perfect, cause as you all know we the users are the ones that make them perfect.

Now what im going to do today is use the pro model we have a test out the interface and give you guys some information on how it does. I need some ideas of what you guys would like to know and what you guys would like me to try?

Example: How quick does the screen convert when the keyboard is accessed?

Example: How many programs can you access without a unit freeze or soft reset?

If adding the heat shield is as easy as one might speculate, then perhaps the users could do it themselves...that is, if they could get them.

Forcibly switching EVDO to 1x for battery efficiency is just plain silly, but maybe there's a use for that somewhere.
Also, if a registry entry needs to be added as mentioned before then I think the majority could do that as well. Don't post that now, but an even more anonymous info exchange elsewhere would suffice.

I can not release addresses, if thats what your asking now the phones are going to central best buy hubs then are leaving there the same day. There are also other shipments that we are loading directly on to best buy trucks so those are for sure going to stores, so it looks like its doing both.

WHAT? Please tell me you don't honestly believe that the majority of users could do these fixes themselves.
Sorry...realize it's off topic, but when I read something so patently ridiculous, I have to respond.
