I'm really worried about delivery delays since I ordered my Storm over the phone this morning! I ordered at about 8:15am Los Angeles time, so I'm well ahead of the 2pm NY time deadline. The VZW rep helping me on the phone said that if the phone did not ship today that it would be shipped no later than Monday....but still won't be happy until the phone is in my hands. I'll report back when I receive it!

call verizon and they will see in the updates page they have that all orders after 2pm are delayed to December 5th. i called and the rep confirmed this.

Don't worry it sucks! hard to navigate, type, and its slow
:(
Probably going to return mine, but I guess there will be one more on the market for you!

i was on that very line in that very picture. it was the 42nd and 6th store. i was one of the lucky ones who got one. i go on the line around 6:45 with about 25 people in front of me. when the manager came out and told the store was not going to open until 8 instead of 7 AM, people went crazy. later that same manager had to go out and tell people they were sold out. needless to say that guy had a crappy day.

i have to agree, typing is unbelievably slow on the storm but the features are great. i had the chance to check out a bold (the guy next to me had a rogers one) and i liked that, possibly more than the storm. too bad it won't come out on Verizon until next spring...

Stopped by Verizon today and had the opportunity to play with Storm. The names fits it because it's a dark cloud on Blackberry's reputation. It is definitely is not designed for business use. The touch screen keyboard is inaccurate. Fingernails don't work and most men like myself will have a very difficult time typing on it with our large fingers. I guess AT&T has the right idea since their new version does not give the keyboard that made blackberry the corporate business benchmark.

I was in line at 7:15 am, and told, "sold out." Went to Circuit City 1 hour before it opened, and they came out and said they only got 10, and they were out. HUH? You're not even open yet! I then get on the phone with Verizon and they say, "we didn't expect this." REALLY? You've been hyping this phone for 6 months! I then go to a store that says they'll overnight it to me, (I ordered at 11:27 PT) and I'll have it Saturday. LIE. Called Verizon just now, order not processed, but will ship no later than 11/25. Now I read 12/5? Tell me the damn truth already! I'm about ready to send Verizon packing and get an iPhone. I've held on to the customer service card with Verizon for years, but maybe they're like everyone else. (well, except over priced.)

I was at the store today looking at the new gems and was un-impressed with the speed of the os. An un-named Verizon associate told me that to get the phones out before Thanksgiving, they were shipped with BETA code and to expect frequent updates over the next few weeks. I can't confirm this but I'm waiting until the dust settles on this one. Can anyone confirm the BETA code reports?

Well stopped by my local store in Austin around 11 and of course they had sold out. They said they had 40 in when the doors opened. After demoing one for a while a guy came and let me know that the store was allowing for orders that would be delivered on Wednesday, and with that they bypassed the 50 G.C. and took another 50 bucks off for ordering right then. Either way, 150 for the Storm will work for me. Lets just see if all the hype lives up in the long term test.

So I called in and ordered a phone at 12:30. Gave him my credit card number, picked my calling plan, was given a delivery date of 11/25, and away we go.

Then I come home and read all of the stuff about orders placed after 2PM won't be fulfilled until 12/5. So I call to confirm, and guess what, no record of my order. Where is my credit card number, on some random dude's sticky pad on his desk?

I was lied to, my personal information is not in any system, wow, guess who's been without a contract for months waiting to buy a new phone and guess who's going to buy an iPhone tomorrow with no strings attached?

So much for being a loyal Verizon customer for 9 years...

Yea I called around 10am this morning and tried to order the storm lol. While I was in the middle of my order her computer froze up. She had told me that she would place my order when her computer is back up and that the phone would ship out on the 24th should receive no later then the 27th. So I called back around 1:30pm est to double check to make sure everything was ok with the order "different person then one that did my order" He told me that the computers were froze up still and I would receive a call on Sunday to confirm order. No idea what thats about strange

I heard the customer service area was a scene like that of Wall street during a huge sell off... What about the orders taken before 2pm that the agents computers were froze up? will those people still get there phones? What a nightmare!

I went to a Verizon store in Minnepolis todya about noon thirty. They had plenty and I got one. I really just went in to ask questions but the guy was very helpful and was able to hook me up and get me the new storm. Looked like they had plenty of them.

well i dont know how it happened but i pre ordered at best buy and i got the call to come in. ends up that best buy had only got 5 storms and i was one of the 5 to get one. its definatly a different type of phone and since i have been out of touch with a touch screen in soo long its a little different but i did pay full price for the phone and i do have to admit its pretty awsome. i do appologize for everyone else that couldnt get one that is a shame and for all the people that waited outside its terrible outside. but there is light at the end of the tunnel you def. will dig this phone. (easier said since i have a storm but true)
