You must have had better luck getting a knowledgeable Verizon rep. I just got off the phone and she knew nothing about pre-orders for the 9930. Even said it may be a couple of weeks before its released.
As a test I called 3 times and two different reps said pre-order Monday while the third same they had no information about any new BB. WTF??? Typical Verizon customer service.
The girl I spoke with actually went and checked and told me that she can pre order and possibly ship it on 15th and she took my info and is going to call em after 2:30 pm on Monday
For the record I closed the other thread on this same topic, we will use this one. I was not out and out told monday, BUT I was told that the device was in the system and that I was going to get a call on monday and they were going to TRY to order it. I believe monday might just be for corp orders, OR based on demand they MIGHT open it up to all.
For reference sake and so folks can read those posts also ( I KNOW we are info junkies) here's the closed thread link.....
Called and got a very nice guy named Mike. Looked up the 9930 and said it is $249.99 plus a $50 rebate. The warehouse showed low stock so after verifying my address he attempted to order it for me but the system wouldn't let him. He said there is a non camera version as well and asked if I would like him to try that one. I declined. It wouldn't let him search other warehouses like it normally does apparently so he believed it would be an online only thing initially. Didn't have a date but said given what the warehouse showed and that all the numbers were in his system he said it would be very soon.
