Just called my local store in downtown Chicago, on Michigan ave, and the rep there stated Nov 14 or 15. They have a wait list, so let hope there right.
Who did you talk to at Michigan ave? Im a verizon rep in Chicago too and we dont have an exact date. The fact that we have never launched a phone on a weekend is enough for me to think that the 14th or 15th is wrong, ive been an employee for a while now. We are not supposed to be giving customers false hope lol. The biggest thing i worry about is all the hype that is being created and then we wont be shipped sufficient stock. It happened with the voyager last year, EVERYONE wanted one and our store was shipped 15 of them...
