I guess the squeeky wheel does get the grease!!!!! :)

Great to hear that they took care of it, even better to hear that you got a 920 on top of the original prize for your troubles. (Really wonder what was going on behind the scenes though..... it's pretty hard to believe that they ran a contest without having the prizes secured prior to launch).

We haven't gotten them yet, I think right row we have to be "cautiously optimistic" to see what comes out of it.

I can tell you one thing though, I will be SUPER pissed if they send me another 920.
