Chubby cheese doodle fingers point South for stupid.

I Want NEED the HTC HD2. It comes out tomorrow 3/24/2010 and is on the T-Mobile Network. I saw that Walmart broke the street date so I stopped by my local Walmart to see if I could do the same and get one 2 days earlier. This is how it went down:

Me: Parks car.  Walks into Walmart. Goes to the electronics/cell department.....I don't see the phone on display.
Employee: Stands there. Eats chips. Texts somebody on her cell. Looks really miserable and bored.
Me: Looks at employee. Gives a nod with raised eyebrows acknowledging her that I probably need help.
Employee: "Can I help you?"
Me: "Yes, I have a question." Walks closer to her.
Employee: "Ok, you're gonna have to wait cuz I gotta go help someone else."
Employee: ::Walks away::
Me: (Thinks-WTF? she was just standing there eating chips....texting...doing nothing and I don't see anyone else.) "OK thanks."
Employee: Comes back....almost walks by me, bag of chips in hand.
Me: "Excuse me I had a question, do you have the HD2 in stock?"
Employee: "The Tv's are over there." ::Points with her chubby cheese doodle fingers to the HD Tv's::
Me: No. The HTC HD2 for T-Mobile. It's not a TV.
Employee: "I never heard of it so we probably don't have it." As she continues to walk away. 
Me: "OK Thanks a lot." (Thinks-You also never heard of customer service, and definitely do not have that in stock either.) ::Looks behind the counter for a box of LIES. Did not find any.::

So I wait until it officially comes out. Fine.

I need to stay with ONE phone and THIS IS IT. The holy grail of phones. Here is a list of the 12 (TWELVE) phone's I've had, or have had and returned in the last 4 years. The madness stops Wednesday. (No really. I swear.)

Apple iPhone 2g (unlocked on T-Mobile)
Blackberry Curve 8320
Blackberry Curve 8900
HTC G1 Black
HTC G1 White
Samsung Memoir
Motorola Cliq
Sidekick 2
HTC Touch Pro (Sprint)
Blackberry Curve 8330
Apple iPhone 3gs (AT&T)
Samsung T349

My favorite by far was the iPhone 3gs,  but I had countless of unforgivable dropped MMS and Text messages (inter and intra-carrier). That really didn't work out and is really just bullshit, and after a week of troubleshooting with AT&T I gave up. So I'm going to stay on the T-Mobile network for now. Second favorite was the G1, but I got sick of the Android OS as it kinda wore off like a novelty. Finally the Blackberry Curves because the keypad ruled and I'm a push-email whore.

So that's it. Wednesday is the day I pop my Simcard out of my Samsung T349 and slide it into the delicious glass, metal and plastic glory of the HD2.
