Moto V323 third week of January

Kyo KX5 (Slider Remix) second week of February. Perhaps in time for our valentines promo. Stay tuned.

I respectfully disagree with your statement regarding Bluetooth in so far as your statement saying that it is a "fad technology".

My quick Google search indicates that analysts see a huge surge of Bluetooth cabpable phones. ContextWorld.com goes so far as to estimate that 80% of phones offered will be Bluetooth capable by 2008.

I have customers coming in to the store now on a weekly (versus monthly) basis asking about Bluetooth. Interestingly, they actually use the work "Bluetooth" instead of saying something like "no wires".

I know I tested the LG5000 at the Usc golf outing in September, and Brad the LG guy said it was approved and ready to go. Hey JacksBack did you get the INfo from the Hey Marketing newsletter?

You would not believe the fraud we are getting in from ST louis. They are dumb fraudsters also; they give me their dob but dont even know their age. Whats the craziest fraud story you got?

back when 0 credit was no deposit a woman came and said she wanted to get a phone and she had 2 kids who had mental disabilities who were 18, i didnt suggest it but she said she didnt want to put it in her kids name and when she gave me her information she said she had to go to the food court but be back, when i ran it it came up manual review and the person in credit said it had a fraud marker on it and that she would have to call them from her home phone to verify it was her, she never came back anyway.

Yeah, X class actually pays their bills up in Wisconsin. Its an amazing concept vs. the Midwest Market who let it build up to $500 before getting cancelled.

Oh yeah, kids have usually paid their bill for the most part, it is always the people who had fine credit that actually charge back due to nonpayment.
