    I got to play with one at my local store. I'm hoping low battery in combination with .65 = NASTY SLOW. I like the feel to it, but man... landscape to portrait took like... 5 seconds.

    Anyways... the lady had no idea how many they'd get in... so here I am on crackberry reading all these posts about TEN or FIVE?
    I was going to go in at 7 (8AM open)...
    but now i'm afraid and thinking along the lines of 3. haha

    I have received 2 calls today from different stores to tell me it was being released. Both said they only have 10. Both encouraged me to order from them and have it mailed to me. Everyone wants that commission.

    Do they really only have 10?
    Is this some of ploy to keep us out of the store?

    There's a store at 3961 Floyd Rd
    Austell, GA 30106 the manager told me that he's getting 12. He said that her has a waiting list with at least 20 names. But it's first come first serve. I work 5 minutes from the store. Wouldn't dare try to stand in line then make it to work.

    The biggest stores got 50..
    After they run out they are doing overnight for free, before 11 am..
    Hold up/restriction was the OS update AND OTA questions, they didn't know if it was possible, which is why the RIM webupdater was opened up..
    2 big shipments are expected next week for the Black Friday specials..Straight form the horses mouth/azz....

    All these numbers I have been hearing seem so RANDOM. So far I've heard: 2, 5, 10, 11, 15, 18, 20, 22, 25, 50, etc. No, I did not make those up; I am recalling all the numbesr I have seen on these forums and heard, LOL.

    So yeah, this is very strange. I'm just going to go there at 7. I have a telesales rep waiting to call me at 8. If its sold out at 7, then I have my telesales rep to fall back on. Its always good to have backup. I was also promised free overnight delivery for Saturday before noon if I order through telesales. So, I don't think I'll be stressing much

    Best thing to do is just show up early.

    I stopped by my store earlier and the manager was livid because they only got 6 today. I'll be strolling in and ordering one in the morning for Sat delivery.

    I live a few blocks away from one of the largest Verizon Corp stores in Los Angeles. I might drive by it after work tonite around 7PM and see if there is a line. I read in a different thread that some stores had lines forming from a week ago, so 12 hours before release should warrant a line by now. If it's less than 30 people, I might stand in line at 6AM. If it's 50+, then I might as well just order it over the phone with overnight shipping.

    This is silly. I'm starting to think going in at 9 and getting it delivered is a good idea. Man!

    I just got a call from my verizon rep and he said they have a few put aside and that I could make an appointment for tomorrow night. Too bad I won't be around tomorrow...He said to show up at 8 (when they open) and that would be my best bet. Sounds, to me, like they aren't running too short on them though..

    This is no joke, I have a friend who is always down on his luck, and needed to get his car repaired, and I have a client who owes me 5k that owns a custom car shop, so I told my friend if he camped out from 5PM tonight till 6 AM tomorrow I'd take care of his car, just went by to check on him and he's covered in a light dusting of snow! lol
