I just got an email from Verizon with my FedEx Tracking number! Phone is on the way to me, and I'll get it on Tuesday the 18th. I guess I was one of the lucky ones. I'm out in Southern California and I just ordered through the regular *611 Customer service number last night at 7pm.

I also ordered a couple accessories (Cradle / Car Charger) early this morning, but wonder if maybe those won't go through? I got a 25% discount & Free Shipping on them for being part of the Verizon Merits Program.

Anyways, my apologies to those whom couldn't get it right now, but in reality, I guess I'm technically only getting it about 7 days earlier than everyone else anyway... plus I might have paid more than everyone else might if they have additional discounts. I paid $299 - $50 MIR it will be $249 plus tax after NE2.

Best of luck to everyone!
