    All i can say is wow. I went to walmart in Orland Hills IL and was able to get my droid, i had one pre-order at BB, but after reading reports that Walmart was selling them, i was like what the heck let me give it a try. The best part is the phone was only 188.00 plus tax....

    How do they hook up your service? I thought it wasn't supposed to be in the system until tomorrow.

    He doesnt care if he can only just sit and look at it neither would I.
    I think others that have them are using them

    I'm sure its already in Verizon's system to prepare for midnight sales (both select stores, and online) as well as early morning rushes. Bad idea to push it early in the morning and hope it goes.

    Plus it's already 8:30pm EST so its late enough.

    VZW is having a midnight release tonight for new customers. I guess they figured a few hours wouldnt make much of a difference.

    I was hoping he would say he just bought it for $188 from Wal-Mart and had to activate it on his own via CS.

    It's $500 at full retail at Wal-Mart. I noticed it was $599 at Best Buy. I don't know what it is at Verizon.

    So, if $188, is the rebate instant at Walmart like it is if ordered at Verizon online?

    Verizon will not sell this phone to anyone unless they are a new line or an upgrade. They are not selling at full retail to anyone.

    This only applies to the early release sales but not Friday morning right?

    My local Bestbuy is only selling phones to new and upgrading customers TONIGHT but I've been into the Verizon store twice this week, told them what I wanted to do and they never said I couldn't buy the phone retail Friday morning. In fact they told me just the opposite.

    Checked the forum on the Verizon Wireless site and don't see anything about no sales to those buying at retail either.

    They also told me retail price at the Verizon store would be $569.00.
