Thumbs up You'll Never Believe Who Showed Up In My Line!
So I'm standing in line talking with my friend Norm and as we get inside the Sprint store his friend comes up and wants to watch me go through the setup process. Like the last thing I need is someone breathing down my neck this early in the morning. Oh and I ran into some other guy named Josh...

All joking aside it totally made the wait and all the grief worth it!

I hope you're kidding and the joke went over my head! That's Jon Rubenstein, the buy Palm hired away from Apple. He ran Apple's hardware division for years and helped create the you-know-what. He's THE MAN!

Unfortunately you will now be required to return your Pre. Go watch some youtube to re-qualify.
