I would have grabbed it out of her hands and drove away like this:

From what I've been told, ESN's have been flagged and will be "traced" just like that...

I thought it was BS when I heard it. I guess I was wrong eh...

Why so serious, Palm/Sprint?

Me too!!! I then said can I just look at it? So I could move it to a more secure and padded location on the desk.

I shoulda put it in the padding of my pants pocket

dam I would have been pissed, just staring at the thing, and than having someone say No soup for you .....

I am willing to bet if your not there early that the box with your name on it dissapears especially if there are limited quantities ...

I agree... just make sure you are there at the store's opening and you'll be fine.

It's probably better for her that you didn't leave with it because I work for BB and we've gotten a notice to all employees not just the BB Mobile people about the Pre and she most likely would have been fired or at least given a serious written warning. That sucks for you though. I love the chaos that seems to come with every major product launch.

That's why I started my post by saying I felt bad. I really hope she doesn't get into trouble over this. I was certainly willin, and still am, to wait until the 6th but when she said a 2nd time I could come get it whenever I jumped on it.

Yeah that's what I thought to. Esp when she called and said I could come get my 'PRE' Guess not!

**nerdtalker** · 06/02/2009, 05:28 PM

Wow. Holy ****. I'm envious, and you have pics to boot.

To think you got so close! Wow, that's intense... Imagine if the activation had happened and everything worked, and you walked out with one! What then?

**MannyZ28** · 06/02/2009, 05:49 PM

Dude, I read your post like a Stephen King novel!! That's the first time I have ever seen the Sprint sleeve around the box. Seeing that every other box that Sprint seels is themed in mostly black with yellow, I was wondering how the white box of the Pre would look like on the shelf to all the other phones dressed in black.

Quite an experience you had there... you should have put a big massive thumb print on it so that you can prove its your phone!

Oh I am sure I got a couple of my own greasy prints mingled in there with hers

Yeah I was going to say that the box is sweet looking. I guess it has to be if it houses the best phone EVER.
