			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Google: First of all, I want to congratulate you on an excellent operating system. I hadn&#8217;t had the privilege of using an Android powered device until now. However, i&#8217;m confused as to why the Droid X has yet to receive the latest update 2.2 codenamed Froyo. Especially When the new Droid 2 has been released with the update. </p>
<p> I have seen the Droid X running a leaked version, which raises further questions and leads me to</p>
<p>VERIZON: You&#8217;ll notice your name is in caps&#8230; <br />
 This is because there&#8217;s quite a few things I could discuss with you at the moment, however I will stick to the subject above. Considering you already have a device out in the market with the new operating system, It leads me to believe you are the reason that there is a delay in the update. I love your coverage, support, and reliability so please do what must be done to release this update. </p>
<p> I have spoken. </p>

<p>I have to get my hands on this story. It&#8217;s too much.</p>
<p>It all started with Verizon issuing AD&#8217;s displaying a rich vibrant red 3G coverage map, and AT&amp;T&#8217;s &#8220;<em>spotty&#8221; </em>blue coverage map. Of course, why wouldn&#8217;t this make AT&amp;T upset. Turning to legal matters would seem like a sure fire way of taking care of this. But there stands only one problem. AT&amp;T is now suing Verizon for &#8220;mis-leading customers&#8221;, because as it turns out the 3G Coverage Map Verizon shows is accurate. AT&amp;T has not taken the time to upgrade their 3G coverage.<br />
<a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/03/atandt-sues-verizon-over-theres-a-map-for-that-ads/">http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/03/atandt-sues-verizon-over-theres-a-map-for-that-ads/</a></p>
<p>Funniest thing is, the judges overruled the idea of Verizon pulling the ads. They are still running and probably will stay that way.<br />
<a href="http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2356122,00.asp">http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2356122,00.asp</a></p>
<p>AT&amp;T is trying to say that most people are not able to distinguish the difference of their 3G Coverage Map, and their actual Data map (which includes EDGE, GSM, etc). Granted most people may have difficulty understanding the real difference, we can still tell the best kind of coverage and how much of it there is throughout the states.<br />
<a href="http://www.pcworld.com/businesscenter/article/181379/verizon_lawsuit_makes_atandt_the_villain_again.html">http://www.pcworld.com/businesscenter/article/181379/verizon_lawsuit_makes_atandt_the_villain_again.html</a></p>
<p>They are also starting their comeback commercials. Check boxes comparing the two differences (how original), with Luke Wilson (who again) comparing.<br />
What I find completely humorous is AT&amp;T has went to saying &#8220;The Best 3G Coverage&#8221; to &#8220;A Better 3G <em>Experience</em>&#8220;  Maybe Verizon should file a counter claim that AT&amp;T is just straight up lieing. Once Verizon (if they ever do after this) gets the iPhone, I see AT&amp;T retiring from the mobile wireless market and selling to Verizon. Especially now that Verizon is tied up with Google. (and that&#8217;s all I&#8217;m saying about that) Who knows what is going to happen next.<br />

<p>I want to know your opinons</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Thursday I ordered the new Blackberry Tour (that came out July 12th for Verizon and is shipping out to Sprint &#8212; along with a few other CDMA service providers &#8212; soon after if not already released) and was told I would receive it in two business days.</p>
<p>Granted, it was the weekend and something just tells me that the FedEx delivery workers have a lot of packages to deliver then.  But&#8230;&#8230;</p>
<p>Saturday quickly rolled by with no phone. I&#8217;m a very patient person (now at least) so I didn&#8217;t lose my cool&#8230; However whenever I went and looked up my order status via tracking number&#8230; The package was scheduled for delivery on Tuesday by 7:00!</p>
<p>Excuse me to sound like that guy who complains at a delivery company but when you tell me two days prior to shipping &#8212; keep in mind that this order was placed early Thursday, thus the package was sent out that same day not long after &#8212; I expect to receive my package in two days.</p>
<p><span id="more-443"></span></p>
<p>Also, and here is some of the funny moments i&#8217;ve had with this dilemma, I was told first by the verizon representative that I ordered the phone from that there would be no reason the phone would not be delivered on Saturday at the latest.</p>
<p>Saturday night I contacted verizon again to complain that my package had not yet been delivered in the promised by verizon alloted time frame. I spoke to a different representative who told me that FedEx delivers on a business day basis, meaning that &#8212; although they clearly claim to deliver on Saturdays for most services (including the  one my tracking number tells me I&#8217;m supposed to have) &#8212;  Saturdays technically do not count and since they do not deliver on Mondays I was out of luck until Tuesday.</p>
<p>Regardless to all of that and an increased amount of patience and the ability to suck it in and not care &#8212; I&#8217;ve been managing to stay calm.</p>
<p>Now, here&#8217;s the worst part. The package is now as of 9:20 AM at a local FedEx facility roughly 30 miles away and I have no way of retrieving it. I can hope and pray that the delivery service that verizon used to deliver my package is covered for scheduled delivery on Mondays, because I did see a few that were, but it&#8217;s highly unlikely.</p>
<p>There was another tracking update that said the package was at the destination facility with a side note &#8220;package not due for delivery&#8221;. Awesome, just awesome.</p>
<p>I looked online for a way to contact FedEx and possibly tell them to either go ahead and deliver or I can come pick it up but all I was able to find was a toll free number that sends you to automated he&#8217;ll and gets you absolutely nowhere&#8230; Along with an email option which I did true but we will see where it goes.</p>
<p>I guess that is all for now. I will just have to wait and hope for the best. I do not hate any delivery company any more than the other, they all have their faults and it will probably never change. Though I never hear anything bad about DHL&#8230;.</p>
<p>On a final note, I wrote and edited every part of this post on my iPod Touch.  Impressed? Because you shouldn&#8217;t be.</p>
