    See below...



    That being said, I wouldnt put my trust in any of these vzw reps to remember to do my "pre-order" and call me (They've proved up to this point that they are clueless, lol). I will just sit and refresh the website constantly after midnight until it pops up and I will order it myself.
    Yeah the lady on the phone that I just talked to told me that what everyone else has done "claiming to have preordered" have actually just had the representative come in and order it for them Monday morning.

    She said that they do not start until 8am so you would be better off doing it on the website at midnight, but for her in particular she said that she was coming in tuesday, not monday so if I wanted her to "preorder" for me, she could but I would get it sooner if I just did it on the site at 12am.

    Hope this helped some people who were maybe in the predicament. You are better off just ordering it at midnight rather than have the representative "preorder" it for you.

    I'd not get your hopes up that at the click of 12am on Monday they will be ready to order online.

    Anyone else bummed about the $509.99 price? I was hoping $499 or under.
    So you would have felt that much better if it was $499?

    Really..? Because the supervisor of the 1-800 number told me it would be. I mean not to act like a d*ck or anything, but they completely verified it and not to mention that's been the date that has been floating around before we got any verification and the exact same thing happened when the Bold 9650 was released.. At the tick of midnight is when it went up on the site like its set on a timer or something.

    So why not get my hopes up when its happened in the past AND the supervisor of tech support told me to just go on the site at midnight and if I didn't know how to order it to just call them back and they will walk me through it.

    Well. Just spoke to a lovely girl named Heather. Said she'd call me back tomorrow morning to confirm specifics on placing my order & billing to my account. She also mentioned her office hours & will contact me around the time she gets into work. I'm going to assume that they make some kind of commission or get some recognition for their sales...? But anyway, I called the x4679 number & only waited about 4-5 minutes before someone picked up. If you haven't tried it, give it a shot.

    I called the 4679 number, I don't think that's customer service.

    called the 4679 number from MI, and was told they had none in stock but he would contact me as soon as he did. Also, I was the first to ask him about the 9930 so I'm the first on his list. Looks like i'll be ordering pretty early tomorrow. I would definitely call as the word seems to be spreading through reps, and people could grab them soon.

    Every time I have called, I just spoke with "tech support" and they have told me everything, at the tick of midnight you can order it etc. Don't talk to sales.. They will just try to get you to upgrade to the Droid or something and not tell you that the Bold 9930 exists.

    I have talked to 5 different people at tech support and they have all told me anything I asked and completely confirmed that it will be up at midnight on the dot tonight.

    I called earlier and was told it's typically "time zone specific" - midnight wherever you are. I live on the East Coast, but I honestly don't remember from past phones tho.
