Probably not, although that would be nice.
With other preorders I've seen on Verizon, they're shipped overnight the day before everyone else gets access to them.
In other words, my guess is we'd get them on the 10th.
This is partly so people won't be selling them ahead of time on eBay etc. The first ones will be sold out for weeks, and the ones people do get will command a premium at first.
does this mean we will have to pay for overnight shipping? how much does that cost?
would we be better off going to a Verizon retail store? at 3AM? or when they open
