Lol, I agree this sucks. I'm in the exact same boat, still waiting. However, they in no way forced your hand at anything. They did make a promise then broke that promise. However, it was your choice to make a decision based on that promise. Even though you should have been able to rely on that, they still didn't force you to sell your previous phone. Unless at the checkout they said you must show proof you sold your apple product before they'd sell you their product, which I highly doubt.
A more accurate statement would be that you made an informed decision based on their promise, and they lied. Ergo making your informed decision a bad one.
Okay, another smart-ass.
Let me RE-WORD my statement: Google "forced" me to sell my previous phone in order to be able to afford a phone in which I was PROMISED on THREE separate dates.
Your anus doesn't FORCE you to wipe after you take a dump, but I can bet you ****ing do it.
