Gregg -

I went into Sprint on Madison Ave yesterday at about lunchtime to buy a new Qualcomm phone. I had difficulty getting into the store and when I got in you had to pull a slip out of one of those gadgets that gives you a number to wait on line and then they call the numbers etc.

Anyway my number was so far away that I decided to come back later in a quieter period in the afternoon. I got back there about 3.30 and the situation was even worse. The place was packed an I gave up and left. I'll try again first thing this morning.

Now where else do American consumers hang around waiting on long lines to buy retail products. I have seen this sort of thing in Russia a few years ago, in Scandanavian airports maybe even in US airports but iarports don't count becuase there is much more limited choice.

I tell you the Sprint store was heaving with people, unbelievable!!!

Best regards and as always thanks Gregg,
