I was chatting with my local VZW guy this afternoon, and told him about folks managing to order the i760 (he hadn't heard anything... not too surprising since he works in a VZW store... but he thought the whole thing was hilarious).

Any way, he pointed out that there MAY be a problem when folks try to activate the phones. He showed me the VZW web site where the company posts phone activation codes and such, and there was no mention of the i760. So, in his words, "If someone walked in with an i760 right now, I couldn't activate it for them."
