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

I was a little frustrated last night, but it's only because this phone is smarter than I am.

I hate when my gadgets are smarter than me :D

I remember the night my friend got her Blackberry Storm. It was acting up and kept deleting her messages before she could read them. She picks up her phone, presses a few buttons and then just screams at it. Right there at the bar.

I said "what's up?", thinking maybe she just got some bad news or something. She replies "My Smartphone is NOT very smart!!" I seriously almost fell off my barstool I was laughing so hard.

I saw some 6/21's going out today. Yeah! I do hope mine will be going out tomorrow. I called 611 this morning, and got "main menu" (Drat!). Jussssst to be sure I checked my email for a tracking number...Nothing. (Double Drat!).

Well, I'll try again tomorrow.

Oh, I can't stand the wait!

i think things are really going to pick up for shipping. I am just feeling it.

mine has shipped but I still do not get the 611 message. So don't rely on that. :) I also have not received the email confirmation...

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!!!!!!!!

I hope it's true, too!! I ordered 7/5 with a ship by date of 8/3... I'm currently using a Storm 1, and I have to shake it like an etch-a-sketch to make it work half the time, so a bumped up shipping date would be great :)

I ordered mine June 28 and the CS rep I just talked to looked at what he said was the most up to date shipping date form. He said they are updating the shipping dates daily and for my phone I should expect to see it July 26th, which is what I was told when I ordered it...

either way it doesn't sound like I will get it before the 22nd which is when I go out of town for a week so guess it will be here when I get back.

I will bet you you get it quicker. Other reps are telling customers much quicker ship dates and I think you are going to be pleasantly surprised.
