Bumping this thread with a little story...

The Verizon store in the mall across the street from my office opened at 8am today for the launch. I got there at 7:45 and they were handing out numbers at the door. I was #18 in line. After standing and waiting for an hour, someone from Verizon came out and announced that they ran out of the Storms, and that we could still wait in line and they will order them to be shipped to us. Needless to say, there were several frustrated customers behind me. None of us could understand why they would give out more numbers than they had phones. Anyway, we were told we could check back later and they may have more come in.

So, I grumbled all morning, then decided to go back and check on my lunch, and they had received 6 more in! So, the rep goes in back and brings out the phone, takes my old one and transfers my numbers into the new phone. Then, as my luck would have it, when they started the activation, the whole activation server crashed! I have been waiting so long for this phone, and when it was right there, within my grasp, BAM! DENIED!!!

Anyway, I told the rep I had to go back to work, but that I could come by after work and pick up on the activation. She said they're not allowed to hold the phones, but grabbed her supervisor. I guess she sympathized with me because she said that since my numbers have been transferred, the phone is mine... Now they're just holding it until the system comes back up. I'm going after work to pick it up!!! I'll post a review of it in the next couple days to give you guys my initial opinions...
