I am betting that it is that crappy gay pearl and not Verizon... I am not saying it couldn't have happened on Verizon's network... but I am saying that the pearl is the biggest piece of ever loving crap!!! I have one and I get dropped calls constantly in areas with Tmobile that I shouldn't be getting dropped...

Got a chance to play with it in stores yesterday. Was kind of slow in the reactions and changing to the different modes. I think it can be a good device, I feel like they def rushed it out

Yep.

Well....we went to our local store yesterday and they didn't have any Storm's. They never got any in the first place supposedly. And I picked up an EnV for mrsreindeer and I'm kicking myself already because I realized after the fact that I could have possibly ordered through you Jay...can we?

For the enV, they charged $169 with a $50 mail-in rebate for signing up for another 2 years...I come home to find a Verizon ad saying that after rebate, the enV is $79. WTF!

You definitely don't want me to post how I really feel...

Let's just say I will take a very sick pleasure in destroying every piece of my pearl much like they did in Office Space... only I won't be using bats and shoes... just my hands and it will be a bloody mess!

As for the storm I may have to wait just a tad longer... I blew my budget on CCs... too damn many good deals lol and the storm will be there later the deals may not, at least that was my justification...

I saw that, pretty bad.

I pre-ordered from Best Buy, but they took more pre-orders then the amount of phones they were getting in apparently.
