Don’t worry the Private sale was a bust. The Storm wasn’t available for pre-sale or anything. They pissed more people off than anything. Their attempt to get people in their store had to be a disaster. They only had their phones that are not selling for big discount. These are the phone that will rust in their warehouse come the 21st when Storm is finally out for sale. It was nothing more than bait and switch… just like your local camera stores in NYC. I can’t believe Verizon has lowered themselves to these tactics.

@T
If you noticed, everyone stopped talking about this when the release was confirmed for the 21st. (now on the VW website)
If you seriously would be willing to give up your service because at most you’d have to wait 4 more days for your device then you must have other issues.
At this point if you want an iPhone, get an iPhone but if you’ve waited this long it sounds (and forgive me but) kind of stupid to jump ship now.
I’ve been with Verizon for 10 years and didn’t get an invite either. Don’t think it has anything to do with long-term single account holders. Think it’s more like business accounts and serious early adopters who pick up new phones every 6 months to a year.

I’ve been with VZW since they were Bell Atlantic Mobile. My contract is up and I haven’t been invited to the VIP event. I’ve been leaning hard towards getting an iPhone. If I called up VZW and said “vip invite or I’m switching to AT&T”; would they give me the invite or let me walk?

I got this invite too. It’s nothing “VIP” about it. I signed up on the Verizon website to be kept posted on information regarding the storm. You just gotta be on top of things.

I got my invite, but its shady since the store reps don’t know if they will have the phone by then or not. I’m completely setup for disappointment on Monday. @Caspan, I already don’t care about your comment

Stop whining its just a device 2 weeks after you and everyone else gets it you wont care anymore. I know its great and all but man, consumers and so self indulged with this crap… it will not make your life better it wont make your girlfriend like you better, you will be a geek still but with a big screen. Just stop whining about it.
