Just an FYI: Maxx $199 @ Verizon

I ordered last night and I keep checking the site

Check Your Status - Verizon Wireless

and it says


The status of your order is not available yet.
Please check again later.


Since other people here had it ship the same day they ordered I was sort of hoping for that...
Oh well.....
:(

This is what I see on my status too. If anyone bought a phone yesterday, I'd be curious to find out if it shipped today and if you get it tomorrow or Monday. I'm in NY so I'm not sure if they ship from different locations. I called Verizon directly to place my order yesterday but the special was only online so orderd around 7:30pm est. 'Diane' told me that I may get it sooner than the March 12 date stated online so maybe she knows something.

I ordered mine about 8pm est last night and I have the same message. I finally called the automated order tracking on Verizon and it said that my order had been received and activated. That makes me feel a little better because I received a phone call from my credit card company confirming the charge, and I was afraid that the order was maybe rejected.:eek:

No - and my status shows the exact same information. I am checking several times a day. The charge has posted to my credit card, so I am keeping my fingers crossed. Will let you know if anything changes.

Typically they won't charge until shipped or about to ship that day.

Will ship by 3/16 is what the vzw website is saying, but they have been very optimistic around these "ship by dates". This is one really popular phone!

Set Your Location

I had a lapdock go off of backorder, my card was charged this prior Saturday, and the item arrived Monday morning. I saw the charge, but was unable to get tracking or confirmation out of the vzw order lookup system, or by even logging into my account to check the status.

Hope you all get these soon!

For those that got their MAXX already, what Android version is it shipping with 2.3.5 or 2.3.6? I'm assuming that if it's not the latest version then the upgrade should be done when I first get it.

You will most likely have to run the update. I got mine a week ago and had to update it.. No big deal really though...

Yes...I thought the same thing about not being there to sign for it but euph_22 is correct...I looked on FedRx website earlier today because I had the same thought...cant I just leave my signature on the door...this is from the Fed Ex website...

I won't be able to sign for my package, what can I do? For packages not requiring a signature for release, our drivers will leave the package at a recipient's door, or other secure location, if the driver believes it is reasonable to do so. If your package was shipped with the Indirect Signature Release option, you may leave a signed and dated handwritten note on the door instructing the driver to leave the package at your door.

Stop by fedex office, get door tag. Sign and put the tracking number on it. Done.

You'll know when you get it... I think my replacement was about 1.5 weeks in the past and it had the older version on it.

Go through your setup first... all the apps, etc.... it never immediately popped up for me.

After I rooted and rootkeepered it (not really necessary, just a precaution), then I hit the about phone -> updates and it was there ready to go.
