did anyone get selected as a beta tester?

**gab2409** · 05/08/2009, 09:41 AM

I think today is the big day, so post here if you are one of the chosen ones. if you can say, that is.

nothing to report for me, unfortunately.

Beta tester? Are you talking about the palm reviewer program? I don't think that's beta testing, because I don't think anyone in that program will get any phones before the general public, they're just offering the free "rental" phone for reviewing a product that's already avaliable for planning future products.

Beta testing for the pre is likely complete or nearing completion.

I have not heard anything yet, but I'm keeping my phone close to me today!

I've heard nothing.

just asked the same question myself in the original Palm Reviewer thread. Thanks for starting a new thread that will be easier to use.

Heard nothing on my end. Still early out on the West Coast where Palm is headquartered. Hopefully someone will hear something soon.

I think they might actually be making phone calls. Probably to ask a few more questions to make sure you are right for the job, then if you do, they get into the good details of when you can expect your phone!

I wonder if part of the NDA around being selected is that one can't mention that one's been selected until a specified date.

**Kyusaku** · 05/08/2009, 02:15 PM

Made a post on Facebook to see if I get any bites. Personally haven't gotten the call.

That'd make absolutely no sense. The whole reason for the "Real Reviewers" thing is to get the word out. If these people aren't allowed to even say beforehand if they're selected, that'd be ridiculous. (Aka, I wouldn't put it past them.

)

**MajorHavoc** · 05/08/2009, 02:21 PM

Not YET!!!

**robkurzd** · 05/08/2009, 04:40 PM

Nothing here. i'm hoping my college student/IT resume fits their profile.

Could be that the reviewers would get a Pre before the public announcement. Keeping their identity secret would avoid the temptation caused by millions of people hitting them up for info.

Use it for awhile, get used to it, and then on X date start talking about it.

Or not. Who knows? Still waiting for my call...

**lastdetailwd** · 05/08/2009, 04:50 PM

Let me make sure my phone is on...

Yup. It's on and I have a signal. Maybe I'm just last on the list
