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

Just got off the phone with them and they will ship it to me within 10 business days. I guess the 22 I already waited wasn't good enough. What can you do, at least I got my health;)

It makes me sick green. Never heard of such a thing and I've read ever dang post in here. JA1234's story was about as bad but it might have been his fault. You've done nothing but kept us company and waited like the rest of us loonies. I'm very sorry.. that bites!

I think Verizon hates me, they're jealous that I live near Mickey and Harry Potter land.

Sorry about your verizon problem, I jumped ship today (6/12er with estimated shipping date of 7/9) and ordered my phone from Amazon.

Totally OT, but have you been to Harry Potter land yet? My husband and I will be in Orlando mid-August after we drop our daughter of at college in Knoxville. His choice is Epcot, and mine is Potterville!

Ordered: 6/9
Expected ship: 6/30
Actual ship 7/1

Located in VA. Fedex says I have two day shipping but I might get it tomorrow. Already in transit from PA overnight....

All I can say is that if I get a SLCD screen without any form of notification, Verizon's legal team better be ready for hell. The innovative AMOLED is one of the major selling points of this phone and to sneakily switch it out for a mundane LCD is beyond unethical. Here's to hoping I don't need to go that far :p

You'll love it my wife made me go and I think I had more fun than her. It is crowded though.

I'm glad at least some 6/09'ers are getting their phones.

here is a funny story to entertain and lighten the mood of all of us patiently waiting peoples:

last night i was out to dinner with some co-workers, which naturally involves drinking, and then went to my weekly pub trivia night w/ a good buddy of mine and another co-worker. well, as the night ended (which involved several beers and an irish car bomb), i felt the need to relieve myself so i went in the bathroom and sat down on the toilet (since i felt a rumble) and as i got up and hiked up my pants, i feel something fall out of my pocket and hear a "clank-plop" in the toilet bowl!! i had my phone (LG env2) and ipod touch in my pocket and immediately dreaded that one had fallen out into the toilet...that i just pissed in...that i hadn't flushed yet... :(

luckily (i guess...), it was my phone. i begrudgingly quickly dive my hand in and pull the soaked phone out. it still functioned at the moment, but once i got in the car (and after cleaning it furiously before i did so), i tested it and it was very wacky (weird keyboard stuff, screen bleeding, etc). i took the battery out and let it dry overnight. when i got up this AM, i tried it again and it worked, but the OK and END/Power buttons (in addition to a few letters) were dead and essentially rendered the phone dead...

i ended up getting a LG vx8600 for $50 to tide me over for the next 2.5 weeks until i get my dinc, but was not a happy camper late last night.

Okay guys, it's FINALLY HERE!!

Didn't think I was going to get it in time today but BF was home in time to sign for it! I've been playing with it for about an hour and it really is true... robbyslady said it, babyblues said it, and now I'M saying it... while it's a pain in the a$$ to wait for so long, this phone is TOTALLY worth it!! I'm blown away by how much it can do! So far it is really living up to its name!! I will keep you posted and hope that you all get to enjoy your phones soon as well! Looks like orders are moving fast and steady now, so I'm gonna go hibernate for a couple of hours and check back in a little while! My phone and I need a little privacy! LOL :D:D:D:D:D
Woooowhooooooooo :)

You know.. our numbers are great for a forum topic but you know we only represent a fraction of the miserable souls out there waiting on the Dinc. When you consider all the screwed up things we've seen just from our noble but limited numbers... just how badly has VZ screwed the pooch here? All the late orders.. canceled and returned orders.. and lost orders... some with bill discounts.. some with minute credits.. lots with vz plastic bucks.. phones with no mem card.. some with two... some orders with no battery.. new screens but who knows when... and on and on and on. The Dinc must be a knock out or the masses would rise up against the big red and be ugly at best. I've been a loyal VZ consumer forever. This is by far the biggest blunder in their history. I guess if you consider how many vz gift certificates they sent out it is costing them some financially but how much has it cost them in respect and trust?
I do hope they have learned from this fiasco....

i wonder if we're getting the amoled screen or the tft lcd version...

does anyone know if people have been receiving the tft lcd? or is that still down the road a bit. i guess the amoled is supposed to be better?

TFT screens are still in the test phase. No one will be getting one until the fourth quarter if they decide to implement it.

I swear toilets are cell phone magnets. My son came over with his iphone when they first came out.. showed it off for ten min or so.. then went and tossed it in the john lol.. It was funny but not...

At least you have your Dinc coming.
