L.A. Update
As an update to everyone, for people who are hunting for future phones this week, you have to be FAST. Like really really fast, or have a good hunch about where it may be.
I was in the running literally for #2 in West L.A. I was 2 miles away once the GPS tweet came up, but with L.A. street traffic, and my car deep in a parking garage which I still had to pay for, I ran. Even if I ended up taking my car, I probably wouldn't have made it.
The guy was there in 15 min or less after the GPS tweet, and I got there around 30 minutes.
By the way, the next 20 people or so that came after him got a $25 Verizon gift card. Unfortunately I was number 25 or so, so I missed that too.
I have to say that I'm not too disappointed because I didn't know the area at all and there were no specifics at all from the tweets until they posted the final GPS coordinates. It was a nice try; I didn't have anything else to do today anyway, so I'm good. Standard upgrade I'll have to go then.
