Man this 4 week delivery is killing me...
You would think they would start catching up but the wait to get the incredible is taking longer every time I check.

They aren't catching up because new ones they are getting are going straight to new people who haven't paid for it yet. You paid for the device and were given a date. If they get extra devices, they won't send you one early, they will sell it to someone else. Tons and tons of people can buy the phone after you and get it before you because of this. Verizon has been doing this for a while and it's been annoying for quite a lot of people.

Verizon stores randomly get the Incredible in stock. They then sell these to the first people that ask for them. They don't ship them to someone waiting for them if it is before their date.

Makes business sense to do it this way, getting more consumers to "lock in" rather than take care of the consumer who is just waiting. I understand, is it fair to those of us who are waiting? No


Oh well it happens :cool:

so VZ store should never carry the phone until all back-orders are filled. that make no sense. and they get them very randomly. not to mention online you save 100.00 instantly while in the store you have to deal with the mail in rebate.

What does the online order have to do with anything? Some people went into a Verizon store 2+ weeks ago and paid $299+tax for the phone and are still waiting for it.
