I think everyone is opting for the TV because it's "worth" more. I own a Flip Video UltraHD and love it. The The Flip Video MinoHD is what's pictured. It's slightly smaller but I went for the UltraHD because it records stereo audio and has HDMI out.

Thanks for the information. I found the link http://www.theflip.com/store/MinoHD.aspx for those of you who are interested in this one. I can't find any information whether this one can take still picture. Can it take?

I attempted to open an MMIA account, and after entering SSN, address and withholding information I get:

"Thank you for applying for an Irwin Union Bank account. At this time, we are unable to complete the processing of your application. Please contact us at 866.604.7946 for further assistance"

I'm calling and will report back.

still wondering if I should pull the trigger. Talked to a very friendly CSR w/ no hold time. Stated free checking bonus available online only. She seemed unsure of the T&Cs, but implied I could get the bonus on both personal, and corp account. Not sure if I will pull the trigger. They do offer BLOCs & Biz CCS, and was considering opening an account with them anyway solely for AOR purposes. This bonus IS ICING on the CAKE!!!!!!!!!!!

Did anyone else get this message and how did you fix it?

i googled around but found not much details on the specs - however I believe i read somewhere that the mino-hd version does not take pictures only video... anyone else signing up for the camcorder? how much does it sell for?

Does anyone know what information is needed for the referral? I am planning to open the account soon.

Is there anyone willing to refer me? Thanks.

I was just told by a very nice CSR (Katie Wilson) that the free basic checking no longer qualifies for the TV or Camcorder Summer Promotion (she said they changed the promotion this past Friday and haven't updated the website yet). Also, in addition to opening and properly funding one of the qualifying accounts, you also have to satisfy 2 of the following requirements: 1) Additional Savings Account, 2)Additional CD, 3) Additional MMA, 4) An IRA, 5) Activate Debit Card, 6) Use online banking with BillPay (I'm assuming this means you'd need to set up a billpay), 7) Enroll in e-Statements.

Care to elaborate where any of this was stated in writing? I opened Free accounts for both my wife and I, and according to the website and terms, it qualifies. Plus I didn't see anywhere that we need to satisfy any 2 of the additional requirements listed above.

The same thing happened to me. Debbie told me that she'll call me back as soon as she finds out what's going on. It's been two days and Debbie hasn't called back.

I called them yesterday, they told me that as long as the opening is $5,000.00 for the free checking, I should be qualified.
I am guessing open the account with $1.00 then fund later with $4999.00 won't qualified due to the term.

We pulled the trigger plus we got screenshot from several pages including the application section. None of them saying that free checking is not qualified.

Yesterday night, they pulled down their website for maintenance. If they wanted the exclude the free checking then they could change it at that time.

The only crappy from this is if FDIC takes over while we're waiting for the bonus. Yes our money is safe but not the bonus.

Apparently, the one CSR I spoke with was confusing the in-branch options with online options. Online, it seems like all checking accounts, including the free one, are qualified. However, in-branch, free checking does not qualify. As far as the 2 additional requirements, I know it doesn't say it anywhere on the website, but 3 different CSRs all stated that 2 of those requirements needed to be satisfied, but that activating the debit card and either using online banking with billpay or enrolling in e-statements would easily satisfy the requirements.
