PCS & July 4. I've never heard or seen a date earlier than Mid-July.

I was just in a Sprint "Express" store in my neighborhood that opened up in February. It is called "Express" because it does not offer service, just sales and activation. I spoke to the manager there - it was his first day on the job. (Seems they got rid of the previous manager. I never knew the store was there, so I am not surprised the old manager got the boot.) Anyway here is what he said. First, the phones they are selling now are 1X voice only except for two Sanyo models, which are data-enabled (including GPS). The 5150 is a color phone and the 6200 is no color. Of course, they won't work until the data network is lit. He said this is on for mid-August. Also, I saw later posts about something happening with Sprint around July 4. Maybe July 4 refers to the MIIB promotion. By the way, the store manager said that there was a private showing this past Sunday for Sprint PCS employees (among others?). He was sick so he missed it but he said he wil be getting reports from his staff today. I have his phone number and will call him to get their take on the film. Final thing is he aasked me how he could get the name of the store in front of the neighborhood more. He definnitely seems like gung ho. Guess Kaufman Co wanted to create a "buying opportunity."
