OK... I'm impressed... and maybe its just a classic case of underpromising and overdelivering to provide a great customer experience.. but i'm loving tmobile right now.

Not only have then been awesome with my 1,000s of questions over the last week or so with repairing broken Sidekicks... if there are any fees to move phones onto another plan (there aren't any... wow... screw you Sprint and your $35 activation fees)... and details about what I can do with my new Sidekick3.... but.. on top of all of that.. i placed an order for one at 11:08pm central time... got the express shipping... which said 3 business days... i was prepared for it showing up friday... or maybe monday (or maybe even wednesday due to the holiday)...

Buuuuuut... I was able to look up my UPS tracking number (using my phone number as the reference number... how clever!) and I saw that not only did it ship out today... but its being sent NEXT DAY! So I'll have it Thursday!

Wow... After all the crap I dealt with from Sprint for years... I can't tell you how awesome T-Mobile has been... I'm sure that some people will have some horror stories about them... but they have been awesome to me!

Wheeee... just after midnight eastern I was able to place my upgrade order for the new Sidekick 3. Was hoping for a better deal on the upgrade price, but can't really complain too much. Express shipping for $15 (less then 5% of the price of the phone... doesn't bother me much!) should hopefully get it to me on Friday.

I (along with countless other nerds in this world) am hitting UPS's tracking page a bit too often to see when my phone is shipped and when its scheduled for delivery.

I know that UPS won't deliver it on Saturday... and Monday may or may not be a holiday for them. Oh, and I have a replacement hard drive for my server downtown. Almost exactly when i was ordering my SK3, one of the 4 drives failed. $90 later (wow.. hard drives got cheap! a Server quality 250GB hot swappable SATA drive.. wow...) and NewEgg has a replacement drive on the way. Gotta find some time to get that swapped out, probably on Saturday. Yay for the machine not even blinking through a hard drive failure!

Yaaay! a little bit of good news! Now if I can just get through all the other crap work I need to do so that I can enjoy SummerFest up in Milwaukee. (Sid Maudlin and Cowboy Mouth on Friday and Nine Inch Nails on Sunday) everything will be perfect!

Oh, and new EQ server opens today! guuuh... too much to do.. and not enough time! But yeah, back on the topic here.. my SideKick3 is inc! and I'm sure I'll be posting more about it.
