Yeah, beats what happened with me though.
I thought I was at the end of my Alltel contract (got a letter about being eligible for upgrade) but I'm still nearly 2 months out....I could spend the $ and go ahead but it would be throwing money away, even if I knocked my alltel service down to the minimum to keep me on contract. (and I just bought a new motorcycle so money is tight)
I was first on the list at the verizon store here too....I made someone very happy this morning when i phoned and told them I had to wait.
I try to look at it this way: By Sept. all the current X owners will have figured out how to get around some of the issues that are being posted today.
