Couldn't agree more. How many people in here have contacted Google, FedEx & Brightpoint just because of lack of information from Google? A simple mail saying: "Sorry, you'll get your phone in May" would have been enough.

Even though it seems to be ignored by any official comment then we can hope that Google soon launches a brand new marketplace where all our wishes have come through! -Christer On Apr 20, 10:17 am, Ove Olavgaard <ove.olavfga...@gmail.com> wrote: > > It is, after all a free gift > > So what?
