LOL. Don't forget O'Reilly Auto HQ as well. SW MO has some fans I see. The people I work with outside of St. Louis think we're all hillbillies.

Well I live in Bloomington Illinois, (halfway between Chicago and St Louis on 55) and I've made more than one Bass Pro/Lambert's trip, it's worth it

Unless he's driving an English car, I think it's safe to say the image is reversed.

I actually just moved here...and had my first visit to Lambert's, and LOVED it! It was great food and well worth the 2hr wait I endured. Bas Pro is a GREAT place to hit up, but I came from Denver and so I had Bass Pro there too. I have to admit I was hesitant on moving here, afraid of the "hillbilly'ness" but am happier than I could have imagined.

So are where are the other SW MO fans located?

Well, I'm not from SW Missouri but I live in St. Louis and went to college at Rolla (I forget what they are calling it now, Missouri University of Technology?) I have also been to the lakes in that area quite a bit.

We don't have 4G yet either but it should be here very soon. I can't wait!
 
I don't know how many warehouses there our neither but there is one in my city. I was told I would get it on the 4th but probably a couple days early. My EVP guy apologized today but said he had no info just yet.

Just talked to a sprint rep, he said they are opening at 6a.m. on the 4th. He said they will only have about 8 devices per sprint store and that they are opening early because of anticipated demand. He said if you come into the store and they are out of them they can ship from the warehouse and the customer will receive the phone on Monday. He said they have about 800 in the local warehouse. I don't know how many warehouses they have or if it is setup by regions. Im in Nashville so I don't know if it applies to every area. I'm glad I ordered my two, still waiting on a call from best buy to confirm appointment. If you didn't preorder, get there early and you may get it on the 7th.

Also he said he loved blackberry phones, but said he was blowed away by it and his favorite feature was the voice to text and using google maps as a wallpaper and seeing the traffic in the area.

I just tested the EVO and it took about 50 seconds to boot all the way. I just tested the Hero too and that took 1:35.

Thanks for testing that for us Bill! I was worried by noahs review video, but maybe it was just a random occurrence...

And, well, with no graphics on his shirt showing, he could just be a crazy person sitting in the passenger seat, alone in a parking lot... Lol

Edit: nm, the description of the video says it is most definitely reversed...
 
I'm not looking to pay $30 for the hotspot. When I go pick up my preorder should I just not get it. I mean is there an app available or a way to do it on June 4th ? If I have to wait till 2.2 comes I may just pay the $30 for awhile then cancel. Anyone have any advice?

Root, if you feel up to it... It is not known if sprint will disable the native tethering for 2.2, but it is highly likely, so I don't know that waiting for it will work to your advantage...
 
Here's a picture to show you guys how big the keyboard is while in landscape... Scale with a US Penny!

So I'll be able to root and have no fee hotspot when I get it right ? Sorry I'm new to Android. Also will Swype be included? Thanks
