Our friend at UPS dropped of the iPhone a little after 10:00. Activated and synched with my playlist with no problem. I'll have to delete some of the apps my girls downloaded to the iPod Touch. Great experience. DId drop a call in a wiring closet which I have had issues in previously, so no surprise. Good, crisp voice and data works well.
Our area's Verizon network is more reliable than AT&T. If I were still in FL it I would have had an iPhone for a while. It just goes to remind us that different markets have their strong carriers. The simultaneous voice and data for an AT&T user might be difficult to get through, I am used to it. My email finished synching after my first call with the wife.
Hopefully the next revision for VZ will utilize the newer CDMA standards that allow for voice and data together. If it does, my wife's next phone will be this one and I will pick up the new iPhone for me.
Congrats to all who have received their phones and to those in waiting knowing that as a VZ customer our wait is over.
They never advertised that. It was always going to ship on February 10. So per the agreement you made with them by buying the phone, the soonest you could expect it to ship was next Thursday. If they get it to you earlier that is a bonus, not something they told you they would do or that you should expect. How shipping it when they told you it would ship makes Apple like Big Brother or Microsoft isn't clear to me. On a related note, Apple fans will really find anything to bitch about, won't they.
You are incorrect. As I said, Apple clearly posted on their website that existing Verizon customers who pre-ordered on Feb. 3 would receive free delivery on or before Feb. 10...
Ordered mine on Thursday, got an e-mail with in 3 hours saying my order had been shipped. 2 Days latter I got another e-mail saying that FedEx just picked it up and this morning the FedEx tracking page said its on the FedEx truck for delivery by 3pm.
...Tracking didn't list on truck for delivery until after noon today, even though it showed up locally last night. Ever wonder what happens when they don't get there by their listed deadline time? The deadline just disappears. I guess I can expect delivery between now and 7pm. Supposedly they're having tracking problems as well.

Verizon didn't state "on or before" but who cares, mine came from Verizon today. Nice bonus!

I stand corrected. I just got mine this morning too. So glad I waited. I went from 0-1 bars with AT&T to 4-5 bars at my house.
I had ordered @ 2:50 a.m. Eastern time through Verizon wireless/existing customer who has been waiting for Iphone V since they took over my Altell!!!

It doesn't give an estimated delivery date, but I assume I will see it tomorrow.
