FWIW: I just confirmed at my local Best Buy that:

1) They don't have the phone in stock even (I pushed them... they said they don't have it, not in back, not anywhere... the manager said "The wait is killing me, I would have ripped one open this morning". I believe them.)
2) The will have DI on Thursday morning ready for sale (I'll be picking up my Pre-order at 10AM... appointment already made)
3) They (my local BB) agreed to price-match the VZW retail cost based on a printout I brought them from vzw.com at $529 vs $599.

Also stopped by my local VZW store to see if I could get my greedy little hands on one for a split second, spoke with the manager: "We have them in stock", He looked towards the back, "but we've been told that we may absolutely not bring the device to the front of the store before 4/29". He finished with: "I like you man, but I could lose my job. I just can't do it."

I went to one of our local VZW stores today to check it out and they brought one out from the back to check out for a few minutes. I didn't even have to beg. My family was browsing other phones and he asked if he could help me with anything, and I said "Only if you have an Incredible in the back that you are allowed to show off." He said, yeah I can do that and disappeared for a minute before coming back with it. They were a little bit busy so he left me with it and said (smiling) "Don't run out the door with it or I'll have to call the police." I was already planning on getting one, but after getting to use it today now I know for sure. He said they have 45 in stock and to get there early on Thursday. I think I am just going to pre-order pretty soon so I don't have to deal with the mail-in rebate.

An hour and a half ago, it was still saying check back in a few days, so this is a very recent update. :)​

I also ordered accessories, and the order has indeed been processed.

"Never fear, Clouseau is here." :p

This is how I've seen freight companies work and seems as if people are not fully aware as to how FedEx works as it is a company whom handles mostly Next Day Air shipments, 2nd day air shipments sometimes would get delivered as overnight so some might be lucky the other reason 2nd day air is an option for Verizon and FedEx is that this commodity is not an URGENT shipment and if need be can be managed differently to accommodate this large amount of shipments and meet their goal to deliver on time.

At the end of the day all the phones probably will be delivered as promised before, on or the 29th so stop complaining about Overnight VS 2nd Day air.
 
I searched all around but cannot find a definative answer. Since the Incredible has tethering ability do I need to pay extra for it ? I currently have a BB Storm with the corporate data plan 44.95 (My Company pays for it) along with tethering for 15 bucks. When I ordered the Incredible online I chose the 44.95 package for Corporate email and unlimited internet, but no where was the option to purchase tethering.
 
I just got my shipping and tracking e-mail and it's showing as being picked up by FedEx in Memphis, TN...should have it by 4/28 at 4:30pm :-D i can't wait! WOOOOO

It has tethering, officially it is an additional 15 a month, lots of apps will let you do it without, but of course, being that it is a Company plan, I'd pay for it.
 
Man this thread became a research goldmine for a psychologist studying addictions to technology.

I admit I'm excited about the phone, but some of you people.. wow.

I can kinda see their beef if they paid for overnight shipping, as they will probably get theirs the same time as the guys who took the standard shipping, so they're probably wondering what they paid for. My overnight was free so I'm cool with it. BUT keep in mind Verizon could've handled it like crapple with the ipad and had the final facility hold it until the 29th. The way it looks we will get the device a day early!

Right. They will probably only give overnight delivery to those phones shipped on the 28th to ensure their 29th arrival. Verizon has no need to pay for overnight on phones shipped prior to the 28th as long as they arrive by the 29th. I definitely don't blame them for not wanting to overload FedEx all on one day and saving a few bucks at the same time. As long as the phone arrives by the 29th, Verizon has kept their end of the deal.:)

LOL - Seriously, how many Incredibles do you think were pre-ordered? FedEx moves millions of packages a day. More than likely, it's Verizon's own shipping department within their warehouses that they're trying not to overload so that they meet the 4/29 guarantee for the entire group of pre-orders.

Mine was & I'm not happy. :mad: I have to wait until tomorrow morning to call. I paid my bill late a few months back so I don't know if that is the reason why...

I will be setting my alarm for 7:58am tomorrow morning..... I can't understand what else they 'need'.... I recently change my billing address with them.
The sucky part is that they sent me the email on Saturday night @ 9:50pm... So the waiting is driving me crazy!

That sucks! Hope it all works out for ya!:)

In the separate thread about shipping notifications, many people are getting their tracking numbers with ETAs of two days. I think Verizon is just saving a ton of money if they can ship most orders out "2-day" instead of "overnight".

They are only obligated to get them to you by the promised date of the 29th. So I think only the orders that are left to ship on the 28th will get "overnight shipping".

Just my opinion, but do you realize how much overnight costs and how much they will save by not using it unless it's necessary to meet the delivery date of the 29th?

Sounds somewhat familiar! :D
 
I received my email with tracking number. Picked up in Memphis at 4:15 p.m. today. Delivering Wednesday, 28th before 3:00 p.m. Here's the interesting point. If they actually get the phone into FedEx hands tomorrow, the 26th, I live 1 hour away from Memphis in a city of 55,000. They would have to take it through New York to not get it here till Wed, 28th.:confused:
 
damn i got the tracking number but it showed "initiated" as the status all day. but it says estimated delivery for the 27th

They will pick it up bring it to the sort facility and it will sit ready to go out for delivery on the 28th. It has little to do with how far away you are.

OMG - got a tracking number and out of my skin excited!

Anticipated ship date
Apr 25, 2010

Estimated delivery
Apr 28, 2010 by 7:00 PM

Only one question - that's hardly "overnight".... (not that i'm complaining)
Click to expand...

Same thing happened to me ... I paid for overnight but when I checked my tracking number it went out 2 day standard. I called 611 and they credited the $8.99 I paid for overnight shipping. I would suggest everyone check theirs too.
 
My tracking status shows it's in Philadelphia, PA at the local Fedex facility. That's about 4-5 hours from my house. I'm hoping I might be able to get it before the 28th.
