Costco preorder on 24th? Where is it?

So the rumos has been that Costco will start preorders today, March 24th and the phone will launch on April 7th.

Todays the day. Has anyone been able to find any reference to the Samsung Stealth on Costco website or store? I haven't been able to find any.
 
No. Another report claimed that one could pre-order at a store kiosk, but the employee there had never heard of it. He specifically said that he had not heard of any new Verizon smartphones except the Thunderbolt, Bionic, and something else (Droid 3 ?). He also specifically said that he had not yet received any assurance that Costco would carry the Thunderbolt at all, and that the Bionic would be coming late summer (to Costco?).
 
I just called my local costco and the guy had not heard of it either. It's strange that there seems so little hype/information on this phone with it coming out so soon. I just bought a thunderbolt but hardware-wise the stealth sounds like it'll be the phone to beat until the Bionic, I was hoping to check it out in person today because I read an article stating that costco would be receiving live demo units today but like I said the guy sounded clueless.
 
Thank you, photoshop. Clearly there was nothing behind this rumor except someone's creative mind.
 
This may be why the Droid Charge has not pre-launched:

What at first seemed to be a bug in the HTC ThunderBolt’s Wi-Fi Hotspot app may actually be indicative of larger problems with Verizon Wireless’ 4G LTE network. The problems may also be throwing a wrench into launch plans for Samsung’s first LTE device for Verizon, the Android-powered phone apparently to be called Droid Charge.

Spoke with a wireless rep (handling the costco account in WA). She said the Samsung Stealth/Charge/LTE is currently scheduled for its Costco debut on April 28th.

My Costco guy said the 26th. I seriously doubt it though, there's overwhelming evidence from leaked Verizon documents and even a Google AdSense ad that say the 28th. I guess I'll give him another call tomorrow and see if he has one to set aside for me.
