There!

I believe he's a full-blown network engineer (very coveted position), and testing is just a small part of his job. A "tester" is typically someone who takes what someone else has produced and makes sure it works according to the laid out requirements; it's a very "lowly" position with respect to engineering and is thus rarely a title on its own.

good answer. i give him more credibility, then.

Thanks for the info Bennnnn. I guess I better take Thursday off.

 

[Chrisy]

Wait, which Thursday?

I would assume this Thursday lol....

At this rate, we should know this friday about this thursdays release.

 

[Effenhimer]

I can't help, in the darkest corner of my mind, think VZW will blow off the TB release because of the relief efforts. It IS a worthy cause after all!!

 

[green77]

Wait, which Thursday?

I guess this Thursday with all the Irish people

That's a pretty good guess if you've read any of Bennnnn's posts.

 

[ShaggyKids]

If he could tell us directly, he would. Don't bite the hand that feeds you.

Ditto that.

Since this is the first time Ben^5 and BMX haven't said anything contrary to a supposed launch date three days in advance, I can assume the 17th is sticking.

Instead of playing the waiting game, how about we play the planning game?

• Showing up at VZW/BB 9AM sharp on Thursday morning?
• Calling to reserve a phone so as to speed up the checkout procedure upon reaching the store? Is this even allowed/possible, or is it on a store-by-store basis?
• Full retail, one-year, or two-year and why?

1) Yes I am. I am calling in late to work.
2) Hopefully I can get in and get out, since it IS a Thursday and I do have to work (I work for the Big Blue competitor )
3) I was set on one-year, but if I am able to juggle upgrades within my family's account I may be able to do a two-year and use my NE2 discount, opening up the option of BBY over VZW (the BBY store is across the street from my office), and then use my mother's upgrade next year when the T-Bolt gets outdated and sign onto a one-year from there on out (no more NE2 discounts by then).

Tell us directly in secret. PM

Does anybody think they will have Green units for sale on Thursday

I would think it would get some traffic in the stores and on the phone then ask "Would you like to make a donation to....." and while you have your credidt card out, sure.

 

[phantomog]

is the data plan pricing going to be announced with the phone? Or are we just going to be surprised on the day the phone is actually available to buy??

 

[green77]

I hope so.

Hey fatboy I ride an 01 fatboy

 

[libraryclg]

Hopefully this Thursday, in which I plan to take a half-day.

 

[Chrisy]

I don't know if I can get any Android phone on Thursday now. I hope VZW can put it on my bill.

I'm not at work that day, and not at home.

I think we are all going to have to wait and see.
