So..VZW says ship by 8/03 but how long did it take to get yours?

Ordered mine online on the release date (7/15) around 9pm est. my order as of 11 this morning has finally been processed and is "scheduled to ship upon availability" according to their online status. been checking e-mail every hour looking for a tracking number lol.

That's ridiculous, especially considering you ordered online the day of its release.

Hang in there buddy, it's worth the wait!

Ordered mine online at 1:00 am on the 15th and got it at 2:30 on the 16th. Called to get a replacement due to dead pixels on the 19th or 20th (can't remember) so who knows when I will see it.

At the time I called they were to ship on the 27th but the rep swore I would have it by then. Now who knows? I suspect they will new orders before they take care of replacements, you know....cha ching cha ching$$$$$$$$. :(

Nah, I imagine fixing replacements will be more important. They don't want to piss off current customers or generate too much bad press.

My droid X that I got friday has terrible reception issues so any time I tried to make a call the signal would drop. Didn't matter how I held it or anything else. Just happened to be a dud phone. I brought it back to the authorized retailer (because for some reason verizon couldn't send me a new one) and I got my new phone tuesday. And the signal has been fine.

It would actually be interesting to track VZW deliveries, 3rd party deliveries and store receptions/purchases on a GIS system. It would be fun to see the movement of goods and demand in different areas.
I'd like to see it too. I saw from screen shots that some stores were getting a 70+ phones for launch. I imagine all the stores around we weren't as well stocked.

I also think it's interesting that the Authorized Retailer near my seems to be getting 2-3 phones a day while some of the verizon stores in the area at least claim to be sold out.
