  4. Now if they’d only work on rolling out their nokia e63s and 5800s first. I’ve been bugging them for a month and a half for my free phone for renewing my contract with them. And I chose between the two since they’re offering those units. But until now, I have yet to get my unit.

    According to the marketing person we talked to at Smart Wireless Center in Gateway, may internal problem daw with the warehouse or something.

    And now they’re promising to bring HTC that’s powered by Android? Hmmm…

  5. This is why I keep coming back to this site. I can’t believe how many posts I missed since my last visit!
