For those that have a ship-by-date of 10/31 and have NOT yet seen any movement on their devices...
From the looks of the latest Verizon Community Forums, it appears many customer service representatives are informing folks that 10/31 ship date will be honored, irrespective of color (unless of course your ship date was already pushed back). Apparently, VZW is expecting a decent supply from Apple and they have plans to fulfill the promised pre-orders. Perhaps a glimmer of hope!?
