I just called the chicago store, they started getting theirs today and are calling people, not sure if anyone else mentioned this. The guy on the phone was sneaky too. I told him that I called back in oct and should be on the list (I made no such call). Instead of saying I was not on the list, he said my name was there by pretty far down. Well, if he calls me back tomorrow, I will go get one there, otherwise I guess I wait for my order on buy.com. Unless he wasnt being sneaky and there is someone else on the list with the same first and last name, in which case, I guess I wont get a call.

Sorry I went MIA for a while - hopped back on the subway... back home now. I put my order on the callback list yesterday afternoon

Anyway it's madhouse...they are scrambling, plus they are closing for an hour for some special event, and opening back up until their usual closing time.

To those on the list but who didn't get a callback yet, just say you missed their callback attempt and explain how when you called back, the person answering said that all callback reservations had to be picked up today.

I'll take some pretty pictures with my DSLR (if my battery isn't dead) and post them up for your drooling pleasures, as well as doing a little unboxing. It sucks though cause I have to leave at 5:30 for drinks and a movie with my girlfriend. seriously, bad timing...

GF: So what's on your mind today.
ME: You have a sleek, smooth, shiny body with a nice maemo core
GF: ???

ahaha. not enough time,

back in a bit.

It's definitely odd, when they asked for my info for the callback, they only asked for my first name (pretty common Christian name) and phone #. and when I got there, they took my ID which doesn't even have my ph# on it.

Definitely odd... anyway, time to unbox.

Ok so I called, the guy was confused and giving me ******** about filling callbacks for the past months. When I explained you got it from a yesterday order some woman overheard the argument and said its fine for me to get it.

He said one guy was ahead of me on the list. Obviously they aren't being honest about their number of orders or their stock. Anyways, off to go pick up the phone!

Thanks hypnotik
