i1 wtf?

I'd swear I saw a memo saying the Motorola i1 was being released 6/6, so that's what I told customers. Then I was gone for a day and came back and nothing about the i1. It's not even on the website. Anyone know what's up with that? Or did my old age kick in and mess me up...

Glad to know I wasn't totally losing my mind ๐Ÿ™‚ It's quite possible at ACS lol. But yeah, customers will want to know what's up with the i1.

Boost and SouthernLinc have it now. If you really, really need an i1 -- and why -- Zod why would you -- it's been available since early June.

It was originally going to be available for Direct Ship on 06/06 and then in all channels on 07/06, but they changed that so it wouldn't compete with the Evo (what a joke, right?)

Release date for all channels is 06/27.

June 14, 2010 Telesales & Operations News: All Agents: Device launch date changes. The Motorola i1 is now launching on July 11

It's weird we don't get calls about this phone, not even a single inquiry for me. I find it odd because if I have nextel I would definitely be interested in this very first Android device from nextel, with touchscreen, good camera and rugged features all in one phone... It seems to be unnoticed or are the nextel customers not yet aware? Hmmmm.

i goes unnotices because there is no advertisement for it or anything, there was a whole website dedicated to the evo before it came out and nothing to be seen about the i1, i call it the idroid. i do hate when they change that but thats how it rolls.

Heh, because secretly they don't want the i1 to sell, Nextel is just under a contract with Motorola so they have to sell the darn thing. I think Sprint knows it will be a call driver like the 8350i if it gets big.

Oh well you have a point there.

I'm just wondering why but I'm actually thankful that there's no big fuss about it, unlike the Evo..it saves me from getting irritating calls asking about it. Ohh wait, Boost mobile has it already..but I still feel like it doesn't exist... ๐Ÿ™‚
