Yay, a fellow string player! So, are you at the Berkley School of Music?14 years of violin here.
Yes, yes, and yes. The only thing that will change is you won't be able to make calls or text and all data will have to be used on Wifi now.
No texting via WiFi? I only ask because my nephew's apple ipod will text (wifi only).

So I was wondering...how many musicians do we have here? I know Steven is a vocalist, and I thought a few others mentioned being music teachers and/or performers. I wonder what kind of ensemble we could put together!
Me, I'm in the last year of my doctorate in clarinet, so hopefully there'll be a pizza shop hiring next year
The verizon sales representative (chat) told me that the CH4GE promo is for select phones only.
Is this true?
Just keep in mind that every time we hear a new delayed date, everyone just says that they don't believe it....until it later comes true. This has happened every time. Remember back when we got that marketing timeline showing Nov. 28th as the launch date, but everyone was still saying Nov. 17th?
Remember that time when the 28th was approaching and the leaked excel spreadsheet said December 8th? No one wanted to believe it then.
Remember that time when everyone was saying December 9th (last week) and I and one other guy came on and reported that people told us the Equipment Guide just said "coming soon" instead of a date? Everyone said "no way that's true!" and then it was.
I suspect the same thing will happen here. Everyone is saying "no way!" to the 20th when, in all likelihood, next week will come and we will be praying for the 20th.

I think if the 15th date becomes the 20th, it is pretty obvious that there is still an issue with the phone and any date we hear is just an internal target with the hopes of clearing things up by that date. Pretty sad if that is the case. I thought maybe the 9th came and went and Verizon fixed whatever has been holding it up, so it'd be really disheartening to hear that the issue still exists.
Nnnnnope
More importantly - Don't Panic!
Only positive I can see out of this if it becomes the 20th is that the postponement window keeps getting smaller and smaller. Nov. 28th to Dec. 8th/9th to Dec. 15th to Dec. 20th to Dec. 22nd? to Dec. 23rd? to in our hands?

Steven and I are talking to Chris at Phandroid about this 20th thing.
It's just giving equal time for other tips from CSRs and speculation.
None of us know until Verizon officially says so, and good compadre Chris is just trying to be fair and square to everyone writing in.
Hope that helps!

Us panic?

I don't know what you are talking about

Just out of curiosity, what does one do with a doctorate in clarinet? Teach? Build/design? Just play in really good symphonies?
What school are you going to?
OT Classical Music:
Dude, I play clarinet too! I've played with my high school's orchestra a couple of times and won some concerto competitions (working on Weber Concerto II now). 15 years old and been playing for about 7 years now.
Also, my parents are both classically trained pianists; my mom is a concert pianist and has toured Europe and stuff. And whenever I need an accompanist for my pieces, they both learn the part so that if one can't accompany me for whatever reason, the other one subs in ;D
Anyways, I've had a couple lessons with John Yeh, and Kenneth Grant (clarinet head @ Eastman).
BTW, I now do house/electronic music, so if anyone's interested please check out my SoundCloud: http://soundcloud.com/megaphonix
makes no sense to, however. lots of xmas gift sales to be had...Verizon could easily push this into next year. I think they have shown they can/will do whatever they want with this release.
