I'm thinking the same thing. If Verizon can't get enough supplies out to all their stores by 10/21 for a proper launch, they'll probably still announce & launch the device online for the first few days/1 week, and then start selling the phone in stores once their stores have gotten their shipments.
I talked to a lady from the employee phone team with Verizon Wireless, since I'm on an employee account, and she gave me the "we're releasing the phone but we don't have a release date to give you at this time" spiel, and I was calling from a phone that was flagged as an employee phone! That means this is just a blanket statement they're using until they have something completely solid to go on. They won't even say anything to fellow employees or people on employees' accounts.
I should call them back at *611 from my phone and start asking a bunch of questions, see what I get. Is there an app that can record voice conversations on a blackberry? Lol, I'd record it and post it.
