This is all unbelievably frustrating. I'm a long time iPhone user. I would have thought Verizon and Motorola would be thrilled to steal me from AT&T. But sometimes I get the impression they don't want my money. They're certainly making it difficult.
I ordered my DX from Newegg last week, and that has been a fiasco. At the time I placed my order, the website said, in plain english, "we have them! Act Now!" Or similar such words. I placed my order. 24 hours later, it's back stuck in "Awaiting Inventory." When I complained to their customer support, the response was a pretty curt version of "yeah, we don't have any, it's very popular, and we *think* we'll get more on the 13th." I got a similar runaround at Costco. Twice, actually. I drove an hour to a different warehouse than my usual one after they told me they had one. After filling out the papers and handing over the cash, it turned out they didn't. And nobody knew where it went, or how it got listed in their inventory in the first place.
I mean, it's 2010. How do they not know when they'll have additional inventory?
Anyway, for the moment, I'm waiting for Newegg to come through. In the meantime, if I happen to run across one, I might get it, and cancel the Newegg order. I wonder how many times one can "sign up" with Verizon before they think something's wrong with your credit rating...
