Auroka Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 Its just another Netbook, Everyone in the west just wants to get their hands on something new. All that ******** about "testing" them they want to just say "hey look what I got from Google, Arent I good/better than you please define me define me" Not everyone wants one, plenty of people don't want one because they have no need for ChromeOS. Most people want one so they can play with it, plus it free hardware! Why not try to win one? "Everyone in the west..." I'm guessing you don't live in the US and your just mad you don't have a chance at getting one? You seem kinda aggravated over "just another netbook"... :/ Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/959472-official-cr-48-chromeos-laptop-shipment-tracking/page/34/#findComment-593506970 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell I know lots of ITs that are trying everything they can to get one to test. Hell I will even admit that I have signed myself up multiple times so I have a chance to get one or two to test for my clients.

CrashG Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 I'd like to know how many just want it because it's free and won't provide ANY feedback on it. I love playing with/testing new hardware/software and would like to get one to test out, but I'm not spazzing out because the one(s) coming to my zip code isn't mine. I'll either get one or not.

dmillerw Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 So I signed up about two days ago, and just now realized I forgot to add my apartment number. I checked the tracker, and there are two being sent to my ZIP, is there anyway I can check the address? I have no idea what the reference number or tracking number for those are. Is there anyway to find out?

nycmattw Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 Well it depends do you live in an apartment? If you do then probably reapply and see if you're lucky.

Auroka Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 Is there any way I can fix it? Or should I just try applying again... IMO just apply again, AFAIK there is no harm in applying more then once. I applied once on the basic and advance form.

Caleo Global Moderator Posted December 19, 2010 Global Moderator Share Posted December 19, 2010 I suspect that this is partially a test as to whether or not they can make money from Verizon by giving away free netbooks with a 3G teaser (free 100MB a month??).

Grinch Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 I need at least 100mb per hour. This sucks big beach balls!

Southern Patriot Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 Is there any way I can fix it? Or should I just try applying again... If you regularly receive packages by UPS, then the driver probably knows which apartment number belongs to which resident. If not, it is likely that he will simply leave the package at the apartment complex office. That's what has happened to me several times when I lived in apartments.

Southern Patriot Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 I need at least 100mb per hour. This sucks big beach balls! Dude, Verizon's normal netbook data plan that you would pay $35-40 a month for is only 200MB a month (if I remember correctly from a month ago when I was shopping for a 3G netbook), and you are getting half of that for free if you get selected for this. Talk about arrogant whining!!! edit: Looks like they have changed their netbook plans, they now only offer a $50 a month plan to start with 5GB per month.

dmillerw Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 Well, doesn't look like we have any sort of central office unfortunately. Would UPS just not deliver it or something then? Is there any other way to remedy this?
