May I ask why he is referred to as "The Windsock"?

Honestly, I don't remember. I think it was from him going back and forth between announcing that Verizon was bloating it to death, and that Verizon was not, in fact, bloating it to death. At one point he actually said "R.I.P. Nexus", indicating that Verizon wouldn't be carrying it after all. He's like a windsock, meaning he blows in different directions at the drop of a hat. The problem with that is that he tries to get everyone all riled up with his every mood change.

Although I think that "Windsock" is getting old. I'm trying to change over to "The Great Tool".

So I tried the order trick for the Rezound just for giggles. Definitely got sniped with a Chat window, and it asked if they could help with my order, however my CSR was a little slow and not helpful at all, so I can't say if it's actually true or not. I'm definitely going to be doing that on the Nexus sign-up page for the next few days though, it's worth a shot.

Good call. I tried and didn't get sniped, but might be my employers internet filter... I will be trying from home on the SGN page!
