Date you ordered and received the phone vs. "will ship by" date

OMG ya'll! I just gt the best news!

So all these 6/15, 6/16 inspired me to give VZw a call. First, I hear you have a phone waiting to be activated (I almost peed my pants). Second, CSR Rep gives me the tracker number (never received email). Third, it should be here tomorrow!! :D I am sooo excited. People are work are staring at me like its just a phone lol. They are so wrobg ;)

Placed order in store 6/18
Said shipping date 7/12
2nd said shipping date 7/19
Actual shipping date 7/14

Trying not to get my hopes up, but I just called VZW CS for an estimated ship date and was told for orders placed on 7/10 should ship by 7/24. At first he told me three weeks, but when he looked up the notes he told me the 24th. I hope it's true!!!!!!!!
WOW! I'm a 6/24 and was told 7/22... must be that HTC has caught up or orders have slowed down (probably a little of both)

Maybe (hopefully) you were bumped up! And yeah, I think it's probably both. I'm sure there have been a lot of order cancellations thrown in there too that are helping us that are "oh so patiently" waiting.

I ordered mine last night right before closing time. If they do bump up the shipping date how are they notifying people, email?

I think my ship date is like Aug 7th or so....waiting around sucks!

Honestly, they probably won't. The only emails you get are the order confirmation and shipping notice. They don't really send "update" emails.

I would just wait a week or two and give them a call to see if there is an updated estimated ship time.

According to vz, 6/18 orders have upto the 16th to ship
true, but my original order was the 18th and then they said it didn't go through ..but it did..but it didn't. on the 21st I confirmed that it was done, and the girl said the new order date was the 21st. A later CS phone call says the order date is the 18th. LOL. We're talking friday to monday here, so it's really not a big deal in the grand scheme of life...but it could be the difference between getting the phone on Friday this week vs tuesday next week.. KWIM??

I've been lurking for a few weeks. Had to finally post.
I saw a few other 6/19s being shipped today, so I've been trying the fedex trick over and over and calling *611 over and over.
Just called *611 for the zillionth time today and it says device pending activation!!!
Still no email and fedex trick isn't working yet. But there's hope!
Order date: 6/19 in store
Estimated shipping date: 7/17
*611 message: 7/13
Shipping info: Not yet
Shipping to Lafayette, LA
Upgrading from LG Dare as well.
As long as it gets here before my week long road trip in early August...
