Oh No He Didn't Just Insult My Q!

[fr4nk1yn]

So I bought my wife a Plantronics headset for Xmas last year. It didn't like her phone then, an LG flip, When she switched to a Samsung it worked much better, when I switched her to a Treo it was totally not good. I'm leading to it (:
So I figure this is a good time to pass my cheaper and working better Plantronics to her and get me a Moto headset to match my phone.
Some searching online, reading reviews and I find the H375 which looks good is in my cheap price range and Walmart says there's one a mile down the road from me.
It's not in stock. So I head to another Wal-mart, not in stock either.
I hit a Radio Shack by my house and nope. Now I just have to find one, it's my project for today.
I check RadioShack.com from my Q9c using Skyfire and it says there in stock everywhere including the ones I was already at so it's time to start calling around and I find 3.
I head to the wrong store, same street I didn't use GPS, and the guy asks if I want to upgrade my phone to an Instinct. "No, I like my phone". He takes a look and says that's the new Q. A conversation and him showing it off to the other staff, They've never seen a 9c. But I'm at the wrong store and he only has a returned H375 so I'm off to the right store.
I get there and buy the headset and he asks
"You want to upgrade your phone?"
"No Thanks" "You can get a Samsung Ace"
"That would be a downgrade"
"What do you have?"
I show the Q9c
"Oh a Q. Anything in the store is an upgrade from that!"
WTF?!? "So what do you have?" I ask
"Oh a Treo My wife has one Mine is still better"
"She doesn't have the 650 like me then"
WTF?!?x2
So the next few minutes was filled with how he has SOO many upgrades on the phone including a card gasp!
And how the Ace, BlackJackII and the Touch was better than my phone and RS doesn't carry it because the "failure rate is below 90%"

Oh well I got my H375, Haven't used it yet though.
Hope it was worth the scavenger hunt.

who cares what a Radio Shack employee says, do they still ask your zip code if you buy something ? :}

they haven't done that in years ( I used to work for 'em), and from my impression of most of the people who work in that store now I have to agree with rb...

Cute story...no one dares insult my Q and its a Q1 I have not come across any other phone or smartphone that is as awesome as this one. People that say that stuff dont know what they are talking about. My Q still rocks even with some of the character buttons fading and wearing out :-)
