It was never independently confirmed, and was probably the result of a typo or laziness on some technical writer's part that propagated through spec sheets until it was finally caught. We would have known if it had N since it had to pass through the FCC and wireless accreditation groups.

If I remember correctly, for the Driod it went live early am but not at midnight for the pre-order. Might have been as late as 6am (Eastern) but you could ask over at the Droid forum for more specifics.
I don't think that's correct. I believe the NE2 comes off of the $199 price.
Quite possibly. They're really pushing for the swap to smartphones w/data plan. Try to haggle it either on the phone or in person. Though on the phone the reps weren't there normal sweet selves today. Took a fair bit of work to get them to correct my NE2 mistake.
Yeah ^^^ that. Don't know about in-store pickup but according to the email and I think the confirmation page, VZW clearly states that you'll RECEIVE it on the 29th.
As to why online vs instore...there are numerous reasons for me. Likely instant vs mail in rebates=less money out of pocket and no worries about the rebate getting screwed up or lost. Plus I don't really want a visa rebate card. I KNOW I'LL get my Incredible. I don't have to worry about lines, stock running out, and taking possibly hours out of my day to wait around for the VZW reps to get to me. Like others have said, our VZW store is a madhouse on any given day during off hours and unlike some of our forum VZW workers who seem to care about tech stuff and being in the know the VZW reps at my local store have been completely underwhelming (with the exception of the one time I was able to speak with the store manager). But I don't want to stress for 10 days wondering if I can line up early enough to get one. Especially with the now millions of views this forum has had, I think it could be really popular. Fedex usually delivers morning to noon here and I'm not sure I'd be out of the store w/ my phone much before that on launch day. For me, it's just all around easier. They bring the phone to ME! No fuss, no stress, no worries, no lines. Plus, the more that reserve it, the better idea they'll have of how many units are needed etc.
Yes, depending on your current price plan and how much of a NE2 you have. Click upgrade on your online account and you'll see how it takes off the instant discount and then an additional NE2 discount.
Sorry, but did you read any of the info and press releases at all? Or any of the past few pages of the thread? $299/new 2 year contract minus $100 rebate (possibly given in the form of Visa rebate card, unsure what they'll do online, hoping instant) then any NE2 taken off that price.
Yes, another annoucement from Anon
Exactly.
No, you can be on a family plan and get it. Each line is kind of treated separately. No problems w/ that.
As someone else said, just remove the FriendStream widget. Remember, this phone has SenseUI so it's all about YOU
so the launch package still says 16gb micro sdhcis that now set in stone??? no 32gb option?
If 16gb works, 32gb should workprobably listed at 16gb, since that is the current highest that it was tested with (32gb just was launched).
Prices for em' will be high for a while, though.
What he said ^^^^ 16gb is the largest card currently available on a wide scale at affordable prices. 32gb has just recently come out in the micro sdhc format and a lot of folks don't even know it's available. As a specification, ANY device that is SDHC compliant should be able to read ANY SDHC card up to the maximum that specification is able to support which is 32gb. It can also read the SD card specification which goes up to 2gb (and some 4gb cards though most 4gb are SDHC). The newest spec which has recently been agreed upon (back in 2009) is SDXC. That spec has a maximum of 2TB per card. Those cards are just beginning to trickle out and I don't think that there are many devices out yet that can take advantage of it. SDXC devices will be backwards compatible w/ SDHC and SD formats as well. Sorry, end of rant. Just tired of seeing this question soooo many times on this thread.

Is this really a point of concern? I could be wrong, but isn't 802.11g is 54mbit/s? That translates into almost 7 megabytes/second transfer rate. Would you really need more than that on your phone?

I don't mean to be hard on you, but that is a ridiculous piece of advice.
You create a bunch of useless, inefficient work for a lot of people in the whole process of delivering and returning that phone. You must be union.
