    My friend that works at the Verizon store here in Albany GA. just told me they are only getting 25 Storms. He said they are opening at 9 and are handing out numbers for people that may be in line. My question is.....should i get there at 6:30am to ensure getting a phone or take my chances? Albany isnt huge but who knows....

    you should call and find out if "handing out numbers" means IN ORDER, or IN A LOTTO.

    If they do a lotto you might want to kick someone in the shin and run to another store.

    try to ask them how many people are signed up on the call back list to give you an idea on how many people are even interested

    I'm just a little north of you here near Macon, and both Macon stores are getting like 30 a piece. They told me that they don't necessarily expect a line, but the Storm is generating a lot of interest. They didn't tell me anything about handing out numbers, but it is definitely first come-first serve. I'm gonna probably leave my house at around 7ish, go by Chick-Fil-A for breakfast and then head on to the store. I would expect things in Albany to be about the same as it would be in Macon.

    Do you think it will be to much of a inconveniece to call the local store to ask them about the quantity they have in stock or how many people are on the call back list?

    HAHHAA...do you think that has to do with the store manager saving a few for his own friends/family/personal gain?

    well, a lot of people have called the store close to me in reference to the blackberry. The employee also said he has heard two different things on how many are being stocked at his store. First he heard alot then he heard a few. SOOKS.

    The good news,..for me hehe
    I have a note that says I get the 50 off with a ne2 price which I thought was just at the store close to me but its to all. So I am going out of town that day so that is 400 miles of possible verizon stores I will be hitting up. ..stupid I know but what are you going to do.

    Interesting. I'm originally from down that way (Bainbridge). I was curious how many they would have and how much interest their would be. Wasn't willing to drive all the way down but interesting anyway.
