They didn't even mention the e-reader, maybe (I hope!) there is more to come this week.

@ajac09

I wonder if they airing an ENTIRE episode of Iron Chef America...

I totally just checked CNN.com to make sure Las Vegas didn't explode or something. Maybe Ziegler's computer went to sleep?

Sprint... please say something, anything!

Oh god... If something exciting doesn't happen I am going to work with my head down tomorrow...

I get that most of us here on Engadget are willing to pay phones at full price to avoid a contract. The reality is the majority of cell owners are just not willing to. A lot of it is consumer education.

I work for Sprint, not trying to hide it. I will tell you my absolute number one objection 99% of the time is not the contract, it is the up front price of the phone even after the subsidy. Plans, contracts, etc. all seem to be secondary concerns. I think it is going to take a long time before most customers are willing to accept higher phone prices for carrier freedom and lower cost plans.

I personally do very much think there needs to be more wireless provider/phone freedom in the US. Wouldn't it be great if every US phone was mandated to have GSM/CDMA built-in and be unlocked? Heck, I'd personally be excited if CDMA had faux SIM cards that would at least allow the phone swapping freedom GSM customers have.

Works great in Chrome, Opera, and Firefox :) Trust me, I am a MS fan (proud original zune, wm, xbox, 360, owner etc.) just not an IE fan. If everyone's coding the sites wrong why is it working in just about every other major browser?? Just sayin...

@fatslug

IE 8? You've got more problems than just ATT my friend...

They really don't tell us launch dates in store until the press release is out. In general we don't know much more than you guys, just take what you are hearing with a grain of salt. Most of us literally check the mobile blogs to see what the buzz is before official word comes out on anything.
