Verizon and Apple have opened their website to accept orders for the Verizon iPhone. The Verizon iPhone was available for pre-orders for existing customers last week, but is now available for the general public.

The Verizon iPhone will be available in stores on February 10th.

First!

Having said that hooray for more people getting a chance to finally own an iPhone!

Good luck, all, at getting yours ASAP! I've had mine since Monday, and coming from a Droid it's a godsend. I love it!
 
Ordered! So glad to finally leave AT&T!

As of 3am the apple servers are very quick!
 
just ordered. anyone else with an expected ship date of 2/18/11? this concerns me a little. though, i know that the ESD for the feb. 3rd preorders said 2/10/11 and they went out same day or on the 4th.
 
I have the same 2/18 date for shipping, hopefully that is an "overall" date for everyone.

Verizon actually had the buttons up in the corner like the html code was up for the buttons but with no alignment code at 2:50, so i got in then :D

you sneaky devil. i got in there early too, but just kept refreshing the page. i hope our instincts are right with the ship date - should be next day shipping. technically should receive it on thursday. they might be covering their asses with the 2/18 date.

Yes, I too had an estimated ship date of 2/18. Even if this ends up holding true, it's not surprising since the first wave last week sold out in less than 24 hours. Oh well, it will be worth the wait coming from a SLOW HTC Droid Eris!
 
Am I the only one who doesn't have a ship date yet? I ordered overnight priority shipping but there's no expected ship date, it just says Awaiting Inventory
 
I was all ready to place an order with Verizon until I saw the estimated ship date of 2/18, and that concerned me a little. I guess no one knows at this point if that date is accurate or if it's just an estimate. Still, I was hoping to see a ship date of 2/9, so just in case, I instead went to the Apple site and reserved a phone for pickup at my local store on 2/10. According to the confirmation email, pickup for reserved iPhones on Thursday will start at noon local time.
 
I placed my order a couple of minutes ago, and i had a problem with "matching billing info" so it gave me a number to call, and i asked him if they would really ship on 2/18 and he said no.. that it was definitely an error. he assured me 2 days
 
I'm happy for all of those people who are (finally) getting the iPhone on Verizon.

That being said, when comparing the AT&T and Verizon rate plans, I think I prefer AT&T. Now, I'm already with AT&T right now, and haven't had any major issues, so maybe I'm just being a little bias. But I think AT&T seems more generous in their offerings. I don't know. Just my personal preference, I guess.

But congrats to all the new iPhone/Verizon people!
Welcome to the cool club! :cool:

I came from an Eris as well, I ordered my 32GB model last week and just got it Monday. The iP4 makes the Eris seem like a bag phone, you will NOT be disappointed!

I'm an idiot, I kept refreshing the wrong page for 3 minutes! lol.. luckily I noticed by 2:50, went to the right page, and finished up my order within 5 minutes. 2/10 ship date! Im hoping we'll get them on thursday or friday at the latest..
 
My wife has the Incredible. I compared the iP4's display to her display, no contest. The best comparison is going from a 1990's big screen tv to an LED big screen tv.
 
Cdma?

I still don't get CDMA, I am not comparing technology, just the usability aspect of it. Why would anyone who travels outside the US would sing a two year contract on a limited network just to get a Jesus Phone? Call me stupid, but I don't get the value. :eek:
 
sticking with death star for awhile.. to those people here at hawaii switching over to verizon, thanks for the bandwidth....
 
Sadly there is already a video on youtube that the new phone has also a Deathgrip :(
Haha... It's more like the death-grope w/ fat hands hug.

Actual users have said the most they've lost while trying to replicate this dude in the video is 1 bar. Seriously who holds their phone as tight as they can with 2 phones and 150% of their hand
 
Living outside the US its hard to tell just how big the increase in sales or number of people switching is likely to be (you all seem fairly excited about it). So it should be interesting to see the next quarters results, sounds like there could be a big jump in profits and market share from what I've seen.
 
anyone other new customers worried about the credit check or is Verizon pretty good with it?

I'm not. I think it would have to be super bad to not qualify. Also, I think it affects how large or small your credit line is w/ them.

e.g. mine from tmobile was 1400. So my service wouldn't be interrupted until I hit that point, I used the credit line for new phones etc all w/ no payment up front, and when i forgot to pay my bill
