Just got harassed by Best Buy security on my way out when I took my iPhone in to have an Invisible Shield installed on it. I carried the iPhone in its box in my hoodie and left out with the box in my hand. The guy really chased me down in the parking lot and demanded he see my receipt. So I showed him the receipt for the invisible shield and he says, where is the receipt for the iPhone? I said on my computer. I told him, you don't even carry the Verizon iPhone yet. He proceeded to say, "Have a good day".

LMFAO. I would love to go to my Best Buy or Verizon or something and be like look at me. I have the iPhone and you don't!! HAHA

Plus, they need to take the phone out of the glass casing or the stock room. Idiot.
 
To all of you who have received your phones... did you have a 12pm scheduled delivery? Mine's at 3pm and I'm hoping it comes earlier!!

The 3PM only applies to commercial addresses. FedEx and UPS deliver by end of day to residential addresses (sometimes up to 7PM). However, I bet you can expect it pretty soon (and before 3PM).
 
Shipping info

Has everyone already been notified that their phone has shipped? My order status just says, completed, and shipping will be updated later.
I placed my 3 orders for work between 4:24 and 4:42 am on Thursday, and have no other communication from VZW other than the original confirms that were emailed. Very frustrating.:confused: So what notice(s) did you get?
 
it looks as though my sister wants an iphone now that she's eligible to upgrade, as of 2/6.
did anyone have trouble changing the shipping address to something else other than what's on the verizon account when placing an order?

I got an email from Verizon about a few hours later (I placed my order around 2:55am) and it said it had been shipped.
 
- Using the Verizon Transfer app, MAKE SURE YOU ARE NOT ON WI-FI. I tried getting it to work, then turned off Wi-Fi, and voila, contacts transfered (after entering an SMS code). Must only work over the network.[/QUOTE]

Thank you so much for this! I've been trying for the past hour, and couldn't figure out why it wasn't working.
 
Out for delivery.

Their system must be back up (at least in Denver). Mine says out for deliver as of about 30 minutes ago.

This is actually happening to my friend. What area code are you? D7711-01 seems to be having the most trouble.
After the confirmation email, we all got shipping emails with a tracking number.
Try calling 611 and see if you can get an update there. Also, many people said using their reference number on either fedex or ups worked to get some tracking information as well.
Good luck!

Dunno. Called fedex because my tracking didn't update. The guy assured me it was on the truck and was going to be delivered to my home by 3.
 
I still don't get it. How's it different from text messaging?

What did you do for texting? SMS? Then there will be a charge (unless u have the texting plan i.e. $5/mo, etc), but BBM is data so it's free. BBM also has more options and is more "instant", hence, instant messaging. Also you can transfer files, pictures, etc., over it. You also can put a pic to identify your contact, etc. Basically it has more features.

In comparison to other messengers like windows messenger, BBM will always stay on as long as your phone is on. Other 3rd party messengers will stay on only if you tell it to stay on, and if u reset your phone, ur BBM will come back online automatically.

Also cool feature of BBM is the barcode. If you want to add someone to your contacts, all you have to do is take a picture of their barcode and it'll add it to your contacts (they have to approve of course).

So yea, basically more features.

I'm hoping to get to at least one of my classes today :p

Completed my order before 3am and in the same boat as you. Very frustrating indeed..
 
Glad to be a SAHM today. Sitting around in my jammies waiting for FedEx. I'm not even getting in the shower until my phones show up. Don't want to risk missing delivery!!!:)

Ok - so I guess I was on the late side of the orders. So, I have no idea when I will get them. Since I am not one of the users, I guess they will have to wait, for the fun, not me. I still need to keep my Blackberry to support the other BB users and will hold onto my AT&T 3Gs iPhone until the contract is up. :)
 
I heard a BIG diesel truck that was UNMISTAKEABLY a courier! I looked and I was RIGHT!! It was.....UPS!!!

D'OH!!!!!!!

Mine is FedEx....
*silently weeps*
 
How frusterating... (Unless the tracking updates in may area is down) I phone is sitting at the sort facility... which happens to be two blocks from my office, which is where I am at now! I spoke to FedEx Friday and they said they were instructed by Verizon not to hold items until after the 1st delivery atempt... it justs stinks that I have to wait until 6 pm tonight to get home when it is right down the street! Gotta be patient I guess!
 
I have never touched an iPhone or an iPod touch.

After using this phone for 10 mins ..I'm sold. If I knew this phone was this great..I would have made a mistake and switched to AT&T along time ago....this Phone is SWEET!!!! :cool:
