Luckily my rep is a good guy and kept in touch with me all last week. Friday morning he called me around
6:30 to tell me there was no line but they were going
To open early. I got the first one and they sold out in about 45 minutes.

I was the LAST accepted pre-order at W.Hollywood bestbuy on 11/15 and walked in at 9.30am on 11/21 and was first to walk out of the store with one in hand. I think I got lucky.

I left BB to go to the VZW store (that coincidentally did not ever give me a call even though I was placed on their “list”) just to grab a car charger and was given attitude by two VZ employees standing outside of their store with clipboards trying to get me to stand in a line. I showed him I already had the phone and he still wouldn’t let me in. Verizon store employee’s have CONSISTENTLY been awful but that’s beside the point.

I like the phone, and yes the little bugs and slowness will likely be fixed shortly, but I am NOT adjusting well to having to type slower.

I was a power-typer on my Curve and ultimately want the Bold for the physical keypad but Verizon in all their glory won’t be showing that model for at least another 6 months.

I have had the phone for almost 4 days now and am totally comfortable with using it, just trying to decide if I need to take it back and rejoice with my Curve, and its keypad.

Hardware glitch seems to be resolved. Updated through Desktop Manager, and now much faster and smoother than when purchased on Friday.

Disaster. Ordered at 8:01 am Friday from Verizon for overnight shipping. Didn’t arrive. Verizon hadn’t even process order by Saturday night. Canceled and went to ATT. Go the Bold. Great phone.

I hear from a company insider that there was a major hardware glitch with the Storm. They only had 25,000 in stock for the whole country.

Emeryville, California Verizon store had a line of approximately 200 people at 6:40 am. I was #20 in line. They had 50 in the store, so they were all gone by 7:30. They did get another 50 in later that afternoon, but I heard those were gone before 4 pm. A friend of mine was told that hers will not ship until 12/15.

Glad that I didn’t stay with the Best Buy store and got my pre-order deposit. Lots of people did pre-order and less than half of them who showed up to get them yesterday actually got one.
