Something is coming.

My mole tells me there's something coming in conjunction with the new data requirements on January 18. Something important enough that the company is waiting until this weekend to train its employees on it. Even my friend in the business couldn't tell me what it is.

I can only speculate as to what it could be, but security is tight surrounding it.

I don't know why they don't just drop the Unlimited to $50 anyway or $60 at the most. With Google Voice they may as well.

No, most everyone is being trained on that already this week. We did an online training last week, and in-class training this week. Mine is today.

Besides, the Palms come out January 25th.

VZW is getting rid of the Multi-Exchange policy on the 18th, and phones like the Env Touch and Rogue will no longer be considered "advanced devices." Thus, they will not be subject to the $350 ETF.

There may be more changes, though...

I've known this for a week.

I just got confirmation that my store has an unscheduled meeting on Saturday. We were told a new phone is coming on Monday.

I doubt they'd schedule a last minute training on something I already know about and/or received training on.

It's only a matter of time before someone gives up the info!

Til then we'll wait for your training, and you'll tell us what's going down.

I just found something about a new promo named "Stella" that is starting on the 18th. No more than that at this point. It says more will be released tomorrow.

Today I was trained on some of what's happening involving Stella, and for the first time in a long time, I'm not comfortable in saying what it is (I have my job-retaining reasons).

🙂 we understand. I'm actually surprised how hush hush this is.. I really had to go digging to find out anything. I can't get anyone to tell me anything either. I gotta say, I'm really curious to hear what it will be.

Oh.. unrelated note.. are the pouches for the droid pretty much all that's out atm for the droid (that's not some snap on case). I want to get something for my phone, but the only one they have at the store near me is an ugly brown thing that looks like it was made for a Q

Good for you! Don't give away your company's competitive advantage. When I worked for them I was always amazed at how employees dropped information in the forums.

Agreed. I would never give out something too big.... detail or whatnot.

My pet peeve when I worked in tech was employees trying to walk customers through scamming to get a different model phone.

Dropping info on line and in forums is the cheapest form of advertisement and hype.

Not if it is something that will seriously change the way a company operates.

Talking about a new phone is one thing, but talking about the way a company works (pricing, whatever) is not a good idea because that stuff is secret to keep other companies out of the loop, not just to hide it from customers.

I'd be more comfortable in talking about it if I saw it somewhere else already. I'm not blowing the cover at that point. I haven't seen anything concerning what's happening.

Yeah, my old account manager is flipping out (in a good way... i think?) about it. Won't say anything, just that big changes are coming. I'm working with a small retailer atm, helping them develop an inventory system and the like, so I still am in the loop for some things.. just not stuff like this apparently.

No matter what it is, I can't wait.. if BGR doesn't have a leak from one of their "sources" it's bound to be pretty big, whatever it is.

Good to see them keep tight reins on whatever it is.
