My confirmation e-mail arrived at 5:00AM, almost a full two hours after I placed the order through the Verizon website.
My Order # is still the same, really high 2.something million. Obviously it's not sequential, as a few instances of these high numbers have been popping up.
Est. ship date is "2/10/11," and FedEX 2nd Day listed.

I'm sorry, but why is the Verizon iPhone launch front page news every freaking day?
It's just the iPhone coming to another network. This happens in the rest of the world all the time. It's boring to read.
I realise there are a lot of Americans here, but MacRumors have a lot of members elsewhere. Such specific US-only news should really be put on page 2.

Same with me. For me personally, I've rarely had any issues with AT&T coverage. I think a lot of that is media, bloggers, and general haters stirring up crap. That's not to say it's not a real issue for some people. I just think it's way overblown. I've been with AT&T for about 10 years and really can't complain.
will verizon iphone work on sprint, cellular one, metro pcs and/or other cdma carriers in the us?
If you run into a problem trying to ship to a company address, where it says "Enter Company Name" but there is no such field available, then try a different browser. I found that shipping to a company wouldn't work in FireFox, but does work in IE.
It's pretty boneheaded to create an iPhone-related web page that requires iE, but apparently Verizon did just that.

I'm sure Sprint would not mind adding the ESN to their database to allow people to use them on their network. More people paying them money I suppose.
I had the same issue, so I just went to Apple. Coincidentally, Apple forced me to ship it to my billing address during checkout, but let me modify that AFTER they confirmed my order.
In Tennessee, I rarely would be able to make a call and keep it for the entire conversation. We were not a backwater area, we were in a major metro area with more than enough coverage. We we would frequently lose 3G and drop to EDGE despite there being no apparent reason to. In Houston, my parents could rarely if ever make a call. That's two major cities with major AT&T problems. In both, we've had few issues with Verizon. Now in Orlando, AT&T was awesome, and Verizon was pretty crappy. It really is dependant on area. But from my personal experience, Verizon has better coverage overall.
My ACE order # is 2108... same order # listen in the confirmation email. I submitted mine at about 2:04 CST.
Can't get past here. Started last night at MidNight PST and gave up after a while. Same error this morning at 5:30am PST. Anybody resolve this error.
I ordered mine at about 2:58 am! I thought it was interesting that they started a little early. Now I'll have the trifecta!
Ok, so I was upset about this too. Since you said you were able to edit I just tried that but.....it said it has already been prepared for shipping or has already shipped. THAT WOULD BE AWESOME IF IT ALREADY SHIPPED!!!!
Have not ordered yet, but the reason this is big for us is that we have NO ATT service in Montana and the IPhone has never been available here at all.

Wow. That's really expensive. There are better prices/ alternative plans in Canada. That's just sad

I feel sorry for you Verizon Loyalists
Verizon has, once again, crippled a great device. Verizon has removed speed, multitasking, wide international coverage, but retained a high price of entry (min of $30 data plan). You keep blindly defending Verizon....
"But I don't care about multitasking voice and data".
"But I don't care about fast speeds"
"But I don't care about free wifi"
"But I don't care about international coverage"
Before you reply with the obvious remark of "But i care about making a phone call", you can't argue that CDMA is inferior and a step backwards.

see I live in Houston and am on AT&T have had zero issues making and receiving phone calls. The only spot that I really have an issue is at one of my friend's house but it is the house causing the issue and not much AT&T can do about it. Set out side and I get full signal. Verizon works ok in her house because it punches threw it better but still it flaky at best as well.
Either way I live in Houston and have been on AT&T since before it was AT&T and never have had an issue.
You really should look up some stuff on Verizon CDMA before you call it backwards. Verizon did have plans to upgrade its CDMA2000 stuff to do Data/Voice at the same time but scrap them when they choose to go LTE. It is something that can be done and I believe it can even handle a speed bump to AT&T speed but those plans were scraped when they choose to focus on LTE.
Also CDMA is not inferior. TDMA (which is Edge and below) is inferior to CDMA. In GSM happen to go international because European governments required it because GSM was cheaper than CDMA even though at the time CDMA was a much better technology and had a much longer life span ahead of it but TDMA had cheaper royalties on it. Now they paid the price for that because upgrading to W-CDMA (GSM 3G) was much more costly than going 3G for the CDMA carriers in the US.

most of the tech media is in SF and nothing else exists outside that hippie place where cell towers are not allowed to be built but everyone expects top notch cell phone service
