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

So, I've had my DInc since last Thursday, and for all those waiting out there, let me echo was others are saying... ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE. Coming from a BB Pearl, then Curve, and then Storm, I was a little partial to my crackberries, and was nervous about losing my blackberry email and switching to gmail. Well, for those wondering - GMail comes in instantly, and exchange and pop accounts come in a lot faster than BBs. The UI is absolutely amazing, and like others have said - the speed is just flat blazing. And then you connect it to WIFI... totally off the hook! The amount of programs available is staggering...and some of the stock ones are... well...incredible. (Google Sky for one!) And the whole talk to text works very well!
The customizations, as someone said, are almost overwhelming.
At anyrate, for all those waiting - it is SO WORTH THE WAIT.
For those smart phone first-timers...prepare to have your world rocked. This Droid isn't a phone...it's a computer that makes phone calls too!

This is my first smart phone.... and i've been looking for a pocket sized computer that can make calls and have gps capability... looks like a perfect match..... might just be the best investment since my R6

Ok so I saw that a 6/16 order shipped!!!! I got really excited thinking that maybe, just maybe mine will ship a week early!!! Then I read some more and found out that it is a replacement...

I had called CS last week because my sister is on her 3rd replacement waiting on another and I havent even gotten my first. CSR informed me that replacements were more important than the backorders. That if a replacement order comes up they take a phone from a backorder and sent it to the person who needs the replacement. SOOOOOO not fair. Now I am back to being depressed and counting down until next week...



What problems is your sister having, if you don't mind me asking. I'm a 6/15er.

6/10 here (in-store), still no word and no email... called the CSR last week but refuse to give in and call again - they know nothing anyway! hopefully it'll just show up at my door within the next few days... i'm so sick of waiting i'm hardly even excited anymore!
Well get your excitement on Joodi! Start reading some of those Incredible posts from people who have received their phones and it wll pump you up. The wait is almost over, hang in there.;);)

Well after a month, I finally got the phone(s) in my hands when I got home from work today. As I stated in a previous post I finally got my shipping order last week and after the phone sitting 30 miles away from my house in a Fed Ex destination sort facilty since Saturday, the nice FedEx man, woman, cousin it, took my note and left my phone..6/7 order date and 7/6 date of the phone here.

It's been a long and painful journey, looking at these forums, seeing trolls, endless debates on battery life, which apps to use, what the camera quality is, whether my phone sleeps or is awake, should I switch to the X, fire swamps and 6 fingered men.

Yes, that journey stops and now, finally I can see for myself if it's worth it or not....of course now I gotta wait for the phone to charge....lol...
Congratulations!!!

I ordered in store on 6/12. Unfortunately, a week later, my current phone decided to take a swim in a toilet (long story). So, I have been without a personal cell phone since then. I am SOOOO eagerly awaiting the arrival of my Droid Incredible. My ship date was moved back to 7/9. I haven't gotten any e-mails or updates but I hope to have it by Monday at the latest.

That really stinks about dropping it in the toilet. I also ordered on 6/12 and no emails yet.
