Well, if he calls me back tomorrow, I will go get one there, otherwise I guess I wait for my order on buy.com. Unless he wasnt being sneaky and there is someone else on the list with the same first and last name, in which case, I guess I wont get a call.

Anyway it's madhouse...they are scrambling, plus they are closing for an hour for some special event, and opening back up until their usual closing time.

To those on the list but who didn't get a callback yet, just say you missed their callback attempt and explain how when you called back, the person answering said that all callback reservations had to be picked up today.

I'll take some pretty pictures with my DSLR (if my battery isn't dead) and post them up for your drooling pleasures, as well as doing a little unboxing. It sucks though cause I have to leave at 5:30 for drinks and a movie with my girlfriend. seriously, bad timing...

GF: So what's on your mind today.
ME: You have a sleek, smooth, shiny body with a nice maemo core
GF: ???

ahaha. not enough time,

back in a bit.

Definitely odd... anyway, time to unbox.

He said one guy was ahead of me on the list. Obviously they aren't being honest about their number of orders or their stock. Anyways, off to go pick up the phone!

Thanks hypnotik
