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

So I checked out another Android Forum that also has a "date your phone shipped" thread. I saw THREE reports of people who ordered on 6/18 getting their shipping notifications on Friday or Saturday.

This gives me great hope that my 6/19 order will ship out by Wednesday. I know I have 2 day delivery and I really want it by Friday.

And don't worry guys, I am not cheating on you with the other forum. I just keep an eye on that one thread, looking for good news! As soon as I get my phone I will never see them again :D

I must confess to this behavior also. But, I promise I didn't touch anything!!! I just looked!! Honest!!! :D

FINAAAAAAALLLLLLLLYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
After almost a month of waiting my phone is on is way!!!!!! I called 611 this morning and to my surprise I heard the message about that I have an equipment pending activation. When I heard that my heart almost drop, I was in the drive thru at McDonald's and almost hit the car in front of me.lol I have a question if someone could help me out.
I called Verizon to get my tracking number because since I ordered in store I never received an email with my tracking number. Now when I went to Fed Ex website it says that it arrived in Memphis and than it says that it was picked up from Memphis and now it says that Shipment information sent to FedEx. What does this mean? Is it on its way already? How many more days has anyone else experienced that it takes to get to you after this message?

Before you call about switching to the Droid X make sure that's what you REALLY want to do. Here's why...

I've posted this before, but just in case everyone new to this thread didn't get the memo.... Do Not Even ask Verizon ABOUT Cancelling Your Order! They seem to consider questions on cancelling an actual request to cancel.

However, if they cancel your order it will remain active in the Verizon system, but it will no longer be in the warehouse queue to ship. Meaning that if you ask about your order status, a Verizon Rep will tell you that everything is fine and going to ship on time, when in-fact the order doesn't exist anymore!

6/6 order here who happened to ASK about cancelling! Had order cancelled by rep. Still waiting.

Great.. I asked twice haha because I was considering going with Amazon but I made sure that I wasn't cancelling, just looking at my options. I actually called the other day and they said everything was a okay, (like you just said haha) so I can only hope..

Buddies works for me. Nice to meet ya! :D

I understand the pricing thing...I actually lived in DC itself for close to ten years, but I moved to Bethesda this past January (It's just outside DC in Maryland) because we needed a bigger place (new-ish baby) and DC was pretty expensive...

Thanks for the app suggestion, but we also have being nerdy in common, since I have had that app saved in my appbrain account since I first ordered the DiNc. :) It looks like the best of the DC Metro apps out there.

DC Metro is OK...it used to be better, but is not quite as dependable anymore. It's still clean, and relatively safe, but delays and fare hikes have made it a little bit of a pain. I try and bike as much as possible these days.

Back on topic...Our date is getting close...I'm definitely losing it a bit...I can't believe it's actually almost here.
Such a small world Terabethia and Serial Sarpins. My phone should be delivered next week and I will be in DC visiting my brother who is at Walter Reed. I don't mind missing my phone if I get to see him though. It will be my 4th visit, fell in love at first sight, but of course, I don't live there. I love the Metro, such an easy way to get around when you are just a tourist and don't have time constraints.

Good morning everyone! I totally passed out after my last post last night, 3AM is not a pretty time.

Not much activity going on here but hopefully it picks up after lunch and we see some shipping notices going out!

that is a tough one.... shouldn't take that long to load up ultimate though, i fix computers on the side while i go to school for computers and did one the other day(vista to 7 ultimate), took bout 2 hours i guess. Got an old cpu in it or something?

I got a bad ass PC :D 3 gig quad core processor, 9 gigs of ram, 1 gig graphics card. I'm a gamer, gotta have the best. Ultimate shouldn't take long as all to set up, it's all the other crap I gotta do. Apply settings, transfer over 400 gigs of files, install my programs and so on. Looking at a 5 hour job or so.

Good luck on everyone today! I know I've got a full day today but some time today I'm going to have to go get my INCREDIBLE!!!

Grats, my dear! Don't forget to come back and tell us how awsome it is!

Hey, I know 2 people who went from DC to Bethesda! Seems to be a common place to go when you decide to get an actual house. LOL. I worked there for about 6 months. Bethesda is pretty nice but the rest of Maryland I could do without. Baltimore... bleh!

Our date is so close. I feel lucky! I am going to predict we have them by Friday. Yep... it's gonna happen! :p

if it isn't shipped with a "before 10AM" deadline then you will get it sometime after 10:00 AM.

That's true. There are 3 delivery types, by 10am, by 3pm and by 7pm. For the latter two, I always get them between 3-4pm. My Fed Ex guy is awsome, always comes in that timeframe and if I don't answer the door he will make his other rounds in the neighborhood and then stop again just to check. He knows I don't like to wait for my goodies :D

I think you're a day ahead of me, so I'm gonna be watching your posts verrrrrry closely! ;)

That's funny...Bethesda is a pretty common place to head to...it's still close enough to DC, but yet a fair amount cheaper. We actually didn't get a house...still renting, but just a bigger/better place. The house is still in the planning stages, and probably not in Bethesda...
