I've done that before...the next day I got an email from someone at apple with a fedex number and note saying I was being sent a whole Final Cut Studio with the Universal update.
Very nice gesture seeing how unhelpful and shitty the apple reps I had initially talked to on the phone.
So....it really does work.

Well, I'm pissed. I'm hoping that somehow, in the next day or two, they ramp up production and have the next batch of pre-orders available for pick up by 6/24. I seriously do not want to wait until July, wtf.

body: dear steve, you messed up your pre-orders, i needed an iphone 4 on 6/24, but because i've been using a shitty bberry for so long and you're now postponing delivery until July 7, i'm saying goodbye to apple forever and buying a nexus one. DIAF.

I just played with an HTC EVO. First impressions, nice screen, but the first thing I noticed while trying the browser was how choppy the scrolling was. My god, its so butter smooth on the iphone it spoils you!

friend told me this:
The scrolling is a known issue with the evo, it's been bugged and it's being looked into.

. they are actually reducing it to 9.75 July 1. crazy!http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sales_t..._United_States
The city of Chicago currently has the highest total sales tax of all major U.S. cities, which was a major reference point as the rate was voted down to 9.75% as of July 1, 2010.[58] It is also one of the most complex. 10.25% is levied on all non-perishable goods purchased, while 2% is levied on qualifying food, drugs, medicines and medical appliances.[58] The Illinois Department of Revenue collects a 3% Chicago Soft Drink Tax and a 1% Metropolitan Pier and Exposition Authority (MPEA) "Food and Beverage Tax", on prepared food and beverage purchases in the downtown area (These "downtown" boundaries are: Surf Street on the north, Ashland Avenue on the west, Stevenson Expressway (I-55) on the south, & Lake Michigan on the east. Furthermore, O'Hare and Midway airports also fall under the 1% MPEA tax district).[59] In addition, the Chicago Department of Revenue collects additional sales taxes on items such as fountain drinks, bottled water, liquor, and cigarettes.[60]

droid x is bigger than evo
but i like how droid x supports mutlitouch keyboard...
i always hated how sometimes i didn't let go of one letter before pressing another letter, iphone won't take it..
hopefully iOS4's update later maybe 4.1 or something incorporates multitouch keyboard

I walked right into the Best Buy and bought an iPad at about 1pm the day it came out 
you have to go to the places that everyone else isn't. If BB, Radio Shack and Walmart are selling the iPhone on launch then I'd probably go to radio shack or walmart. People only wait in line at walmart for black friday and game console releases
