U seem like a total A$$!

" Not every rep checks this and just asks the cust what version they are running. Don't think we don't know..." ?? -

that's such a dick move on your part - why would you even tell us (customers) that you check in the first place? your post had good info by giving us the heads up about *228 and that not all reps verify what build you're running - which is probably because those reps are cool?? unlike your narc self who comes to these sites, dl's the (illegal) firmware - i say illegal only from yours and big brother's perspectives, not mine (curious consumer) but you DID dl it anyway though right??? - after which, your attempt to install ends up bricking the phone??? LUCKILY though.... you work for them so of course you happened to have a spare!! why wouldn't you? so now because of all that pent up frustration, you take it out on us (curious consumers) who don't want to have to wait a year for "the official" release of an OS that basically makes our phones work the way they're supposed to?? (i.e. < dropped calls, < lockups/freezing, faster response times--- you get the idea) why do you think manufacturers release betas into the wild in the first place? if it wasn't for the people that use these types of sites and ARE willing to risk the untested we'd all still probably be rockin those Walkie-Talkie phones with the battery that looked like and was about the size of a car battery. my point with this harangue is... choose a friggin side. if you're going to police everyone by checking versions and penalizing them for being curious or interested because they want their phone to work better. Then don't come on here and whip your tits out to basically threaten us by telling everyone that if we do try to install an unofficial revision that you're surreptitiously watching and will 'bust' us for it - because that's just a dick move period. -Tell me i'm wrong

Thanks for listening... and my name's Brandon

I didn't say that customer service wouldn't know or couldn't find out, I was merely saying that the reps at our store TELL us to do the d/l of the leaked versions....because it was stated earlier that they don't. That's all...I was saying what I was told when I went into the store.

amen!! They say.. call customer service for almost EVERYTHING
