Hey Matt, was that store open?

[Hobbes]

the one in central park?

[Matt]

I didn't get a chance to check [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]

However, I had very good coverage in the part of town I was able to get - along 3 and the MWC area - good signal in all areas.

hmm, I'm off tomorrow, might go check. If not i'll look on Saturday. Not sure how long it usually takes them to get those stores up and running. could be 2 weeks, could be 2 months I guess.

Hit the store, it's open now but still sorta bare bones. The manager didn't even know about the 7210 when I asked him about it, says it's not on the list of phones he has coming in in the next 60 days.

He also said that Charlottesville is no longer barred and that he had a few customers using their phones there last week. whether or not he's actually right i don't know.

Hobbes,

Thanks for the info! Did they have any new maps/brochures that showed all of VA that is covered? There's a store here in Tysons (I ork there) but it's such a pain to get to I only go about once per year. I'll see if I can get there and check out the new layout.

from what i could tell the map they had up is the same old one you can view through the website. basically shows little, if any coverage up 95 through dc and none really in the frednecksburg area. I asked one of the girls that worked there about coverage on 17 (where I live and work currently) and she told me she lives there too and has coverage above and beyond the geico building...that's good news for me.

Still need to ride out my verizon contract though...which, again, isn't a bad thing because I want the 7210 anyway and it doesn't seem like they'll be getting it tomorrow.

I saw over on howardforums that the next two phones are the v70 and the (I think it's Samsung) s105 in mid-October, and the 7210, SE T300, and Mot T720i in November I think....
