It feels so good pulling up Verizon's page and seeing our precious on the front page.

One more hour and I'll be taking off to get mine. They told me they'd be holding one, so I shouldn't have to worry about a line. Although it's in a BJ's, and they said they never get a rush there anyway.

Do you know the price at BJs? I might have to go try out my temporary membership if my other plans fall through...

When you root, do you lose the ability to OTA? I think I am going to unlock first (so that I get the wipe out of the way) and then wait for the OTA that I heard is pushing out and then Root at a later date. Any thoughts?
Rooting in and of itself will not break the ability to receive Google's OTAs. Once you begin applying custom kernels, that might break it, but you should be able to easily re-flash to the default ROM. I anticipate this phone being much easier to tinker with than even the OG Droid.

If you go on Verizon Wireless' home page and search the store locater...put your zip code in, it will display all of your closest wireless stores with their store hours. Mine's at 9am....will be there waiting! Finally

When I got my Bionic on launch day they never advertised opening early but they did. Just give them a call to see if it's early open.
But with all the lack of advertising, I doubt it.

Well I was gonna wait until 8:30 to head over, but I guess I will head over at 8 instead, for the 9AM opening. Anyone seeing any lines yet?

I was first in the parking lot. Now 3 cars and 1 guy that stepped out and is now waiting by the door. I'll stay warm in my car thank you. That is unless there is a last minute stampede. ;-)

The one I'm going to is a kiosk in BJ's, considered a corporate store, so same as other corp stores - $299. And since you're buying direct from VZW, you don't need a membership (the BJ's around here look at your card at check-out, not when entering).
