i actually called up the verizone store on hollywood and vine and they said that if you are upgrading they will ship u the phone on friday. but if u are starting a new contract then you are able to show up and get the storm right there. doesnt make much sense. so i went over to the BB on santa monica/la brea and pre-ordered mine there.
i tried calling them today, i was on the phone for like 5 min waiting for someone from the mobile phones dept. to pick up. no one picked up so i just said screw it ill call tomorrow. so ill let ya know
