I went into a Verizon store today to play with a Droid X thinking I might trade up my Dinc for the X (more on that elsewhere). I asked the sales rep if they had a working X on the floor and he said, "No.", they had not put one out and sold all 20 they got on launch day with a line at the door.

I said I was considering the X over the Dinc (didn't tell him my Dinc was in my pocket) and he said:

"Oh, yeah, we can't get any incredibles because there is a problem with samsung screens -- they keep falling off of the phones".

I said, "Pardon me?" as I was sure I mis-heard him. He reiterated that the screens are FALLING OFF OF THE PHONES. I just said "wow" left...

Absolute moron...
 
HAHAHAHA i love idiot phone reps. I mean i KNOW that to most people its just a job and way to make money but COME ON would it kill you to at least subscribe to the Engadet RSS feed or something? AHAHA

Where are you located? A VZW rep in a store told me the exact same thing!

Interesting. I'm in Boston, so this is apparently a nation wide thing with some reps. I honestly haven't heard a single case of this happening, but if a VZW salesperson says so.... ;)

I should have turned and walked away as soon as I entered. The thick, bushy uni-brow was a dead give-away that I had just walked in on cro-magnon man.
