FedEx just dropped off my package (according to my mom)... yay! I get off work in 10 minutes, so good timing.

You should enroll in an anger management class - soon.

Your new shiny toy will be a day late.

Keep things in perspective. By next Monday it will not make a difference whether it arrived on Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday.

I don't care that my phone is late. It's the principle behind it and the inability of anyone to give me a legitimate reason as to why it happened. I don't like being told one thing, then being told another with no legitimate reason behind it. If they could give me a reason? Fine. But they can't. And when I get some makeshift reason, another rep will give me a completely other reason. It's poor customer service and they should be embarrassed.

Oh, and if you could actually see me, you'd realize I'm really not all that mad. Nonverbal cues don't exactly communicate well through the internet, do they?

But thanks for your quick, completely nonprofessional psychoanalysis of me, considering you know absolutely nothing whatsoever about me or my personality. It really shows good moral character and an ability to connect with people without sounding like a pretentious fool. :)

LOL, AidenShaw must work for FedEX.
 
hey chaz, need a phone status update from ya. Mine is currently in Philly on the way to VA!

i called VZ and the got the standard "phone will arrive on or before the 10th" Didn't like that answer so I called back and got a rep who confirmed shipment, gave me my tracking and even pulled up fedex's website and gave my a location update...


Ironic thing was that as i was talking to her my verizon "phone shipped" email came through. I told the rep that and she laughed....she said you call came in at 2:53 and your shipping info was entered at 2:52. nice timing.

That is great news! My shipping info came at 121 this am and my phone is currently in Philly scheduled for delivery tomorrow.
 
Congratulations to all and to all a good night!

Merry iPhone Eve to those of you scheduled to get it tomorrow and beyond!

You really should go back and look at the last half dozen or so posts that you've made, starting with:

I have not been angrier over something in a while. What kind of bull **** response is that?

That's not really a "nonverbal cue" in any sense of the phrase. There's a lot of anger in your posts, and that's not healthy.

Your own words support my post....

Don't confuse me - I thought that I worked for Microsoft. Or was it Google? Or maybe was it Dell or HP?

Funny how the Apple fans want to believe that if you don't drink the Kool-Aid it's because someone is paying you not to.... ;)
 
Hey guys and gals. Can you confirm for me something?
How's the reception on your iPhone?

My BB Tour is about full bars (5-4 fluctuates)
My iPhone fluctuates between 1-3 bars... :eek:

How's yours?

BOTH ARE VERIZON.

The first phone I had was a Motorola E815, second a Motorola Q, and the third a Blackberry Storm2. All had different reception strength. They were all Verizon but they all varied. :confused:

It's actually the opposite for me between my old Droid Eris and the new iPhone 4. The signal strength is a LOT better on the iPhone. Maybe you're holding it wrong????:p

Or maybe blackberry has a better reception than Droid and iPhone :p

Seriously, I wonder if leaving the WiFi on gives it a worse reception?

This iPhone gets far better reception than my last three phones..a samsung omnia, env2 and razr.

also I have the wifi on.
 
Same here. They gave me the BS weather response too. I was about to say what weather? You mean the 50 degrees and sunny we had all day?

I had the same situation. "Adverse weather conditions" popped up on my tracking at 3pm today with a time stamp of 5am. My phone is sitting "in a tractor trailer on the UPS lot" and they won't let me pick it up. It's been cloudy and 50 degrees all day.

I give up.
 
And it's very weird to have a Verizon phone without LED blinking...

I will 2nd that. thought I heard an incoming text while upstairs - came down & looked across the room @ phone.. nothing. Figured I was just hearing things..

20 min later I realized theres no led alert but a pile of text messages lol
ooooops
 
Okay, does anyone have a Blackberry to compare the iPhone reception with?
lol

I hope my iPhone is not defective! :(

lol yeah, better get used to it quick before you tick off some people!
 
The STRANGEST THING....now my iPhone has a better reception than the blackberry...:confused: I guess it just depends on....well nothing... lol
 
Okay thanks, mine are equal too now. Odd... maybe the iPhone heard me...

Gotta show it sum luvvvvvv -

I'm disliking my case already. Needs to be a tad more grippy.

The display is amazing. Of course my storm had a quart of OJ in it for the past 5 weeks, so anything would have been an improvement but wow!
