Mysterious Device Now With November 23 Launch date

[bug_monster]

In some boardroom at VZW headquarters, there are a bunch of C-level types laughing their butts off at us. This is all part of their version of "Dinner for Schmucks", which they refer to as "Forums for Schmucks." They post amazing promises of fantasy devices and watch our responses. The executive that gets the most postings in his thread wins.

One of them has a naughty video of Steve Jobs he's holding against him, forcing Steve to periodically leak veriPhone rumors like CDMA manufaturing. This has, obviously put him in the lead.

A few weeks ago thye let the CEO of HTC into their group. This thread is his entry. I'd say he's doing pretty well.

Lady told me that the only phone debuting friday is LG cosmos.

I know you were kidding with the post, but I suspect there might be more wisdom to it than you think. I will guarantee they watch this and other boards to gauge response to new and possibly new items and help decide when and how to release them. Loads of marketing research done for only the cost of the employees monitoring the websites compared to paying and bringing in random groups of people for test market surveys.

Not sure why the copy past didn't work... but this is the "availability" I am seeing:

[SIZE=-1]Availability:[/SIZE][SIZE=-1]Currently unavailable

[IXIKelsonIXI]

Well on Amazon it says Availability: (blank)

But on the right you can still buy it.

Yeah...Not sure what happened.

some of you do know that Miami works these hours right? he always gets to us when he's off. Why do you think he comes on in the afternoon to share news and answers our questions? he said "more to come soon" so we should just wait than doubt.

@Viper

I'm glad you stopped reading after 1 GHZ processor, and really glad you decided to QUOTE THE ENTIRE POST AGAIN!

Is it friday yet?

Ya sorry about that I posted before I realized everything was copied and pasted

What he said.




That's what she said?

I'm still going with the fact that it will be ready for pre-sale on Friday.

Realistically though, how can half if not 3/4 of the pre-sale VZW reps not have any knowledge or info on this device.

What am I suppose to do Friday morning? Call a sales rep and say yeah I want one of those, but can you give me all the info on it. VZW REP: Nope sorry I don't know anything, I'm just selling these things.

 

[IXIKelsonIXI]

If the person doesn't know anything about it on Friday, there is a good chance that they also won't be able to sell it to you.

 

[Neutrino]

My annual upgrade occurs in 8 hrs 42 minutes. I'm going to keep checking the VZW upgrades online. Keep coming up with the Droid Pro, though.

 

[91zcpe]

Well the HTC Merge is not delayed because it is getting LTE. So I'm guessing this will be true for the Inc. HD as well.
