Thinking of trying to get one on Friday....

Apple store I imagine will be a madhouse and not enough to go around. The Verizon store I would think there is be less? Any ideas on how many verizon retail stores will receive on launch day? Or general experience in the past?

Try radioshack too!
 
This is like my iPhone 4 Pre-Order redux. Verizon almost always uses FedEx. You're best shot would be to follow these steps:

1. Visit FedEx Tracking through this URL: https://www.fedex.com/AltRefTracking?cntry_code=us
2. Locate your location (warehouse) code and your order number using the page here: https://preorder.verizonwireless.com/iconic/iconic/screens/IconicSearchInit.do
3. In the FedEx page, use the following template to find your tracking info: [locationcode]_000[6digitorder#]. Eg: D771001_000192812

That should bring up the tracking page after you fill out your zip code and whatnot. Try it!
 
I spoke with my Verizon store and they said they are not getting any walk-in iphones. they will only have ones that were preordered.
 
And I still need to go to a Verizon store, because I transfered my number to the wrong phone when buying them. I believe I need to solve this even before I turn them on... Ughhh. I should have paid more attention, but I was so excited and so worried at the moment... Oh well

What do we do if there's only 5 digits in our order number? (kidding, although there really is only 5 in mine)

No Pre-Auth here either

I have no received a pre-auth on my credit card either. Called Verizon and my order is in a pending system status until they process my order. Apparently there is queue of orders that still need to be processed. I am able to see the order status through the link everyone is using and have been told by 3 different Verizon reps and the online order department that this is normal until pre-orders come out of pending status. I ordered at 10:26 AM Sept. 14th.

According to Verizon those without Pre-Auths should be in the queue awaiting processing.
 
everyone freaking out about the preauth.. call your bank. my preauth was done for $0..

be specific, i placed the order at this date and time, trying to see if there is a transaction or preauthorization charge. The first banker i spoke to told no there isnt one... then said oh wait its for $0 weird ive never seen one like that. (me either usually its $1)
 
Has anyone called FedEx to see if they can look up if any packages are being sent to their house? Worked for previous products that I was too impatient to get the shipping info for haha.
