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

why? i ordered mine online the 23rd...i'm not expecting it to be shipped until atleast august 3rd.....

Given that vzw is still saying 'will be shipped by august 3rd' as of right now, for orders made on the 26th, its not unreasonable to think that an order from last week might be shipped a couple business days before that and up shipping this week. Especially when verizon seemed to be (from reports on here) working through 5-7 days of backlogged orders a day last week.

Congrats to those who got their phones today! I was hoping that Fedex would decide to bring mine a day early but that's not the case. I just have to wait until tomorrow. Today has taken FOREVER... and on top of that.. my Fedex status hasn't changed since Saturday. I've been refreshing the page constantly!!

Cheers for those about to receive their phones tomorrow!! :D

I had the exact same hope today, with the exact same results. And I too have worn out the refresh button.

Yippee for Tuesday - bring it!

Hey guys I decided to buy the incredible since I've been lurking on this thread. I ordered the phone on the 25th and called 611 today and got the "phone awaiting activation" message. Not too sure what that exactly means though lol.

Also I leave on the 7th for vacation and was wondering if you guys think I have any shot of getting it before then.

I wouldnt think too much of the activation message, i got that last week (the first time i checked it, i ordered the 19th). Im still waiting.

I think you have a good shot at getting it by vacation. As of today when i checked verizon's site, new orders were listed with 'will be shipped by 8\3', so at the latest your order should go out on the 3rd and be in your hands by the 4th or 5th.

I'm also hoping i get mine before a trip. Ordered on the 19th, and i leave iowa for los angeles on the 31st. If it doesnt get here by friday it'll be waiting for me when i get back.

phone is here and is now charging, but it must have sat on a fedex truck all weekend, the box was hot, the phone was hot, and I wonder if its all melted inside.

Sigh, its always something.
Did the delivery truck look like this?
