Can't attach link but Gizmodo dot com has the first news release I have seen in reference delivery dates.
I read this and called to verify with Verizon. They would not admit the software problem but would not promise a shipping date earlier than the 15th of December for my order this morning. They also claimed that my order could not be canceled.....
It is hard to believe that with all the hype the last few months that they were not logistically prepared for this release. Someone in management needs to be fired over this, whether it’s a software or logistics problem!
