I am in an office building across the street from a Verizon Store where they seem to be about 30 people or so standing in line. I took a picture so let me know if there is some whay I can submit it to get it posted.

It’s not that readily available. Seems the stores are very low in stock, have been taking lists, and VZW isn’t making shipments until Monday.

Will be getting mine on Wednesday. Eager to play, I can wait a few more days.

I too work near a Verizon store and tried the same thing yesterday evening. They didn’t let me buy one though. The lady said normally she would have let me buy early because the device was already in the system but the store only recieved 11 devices and over 100 asked to be on a waiting list.

She told me that if I haven’t aready pre-ordered one that I might get it quicker if I buy it online.

They let me pick mine up last night. I work two doors down from a Verizon store so I figured that I would just stop in to take a look and see if they had a demo model or something out.

To my surprise, I was able to actually buy it last night. I don’t know if this was for everyone who walked in off the street or only for people who pre-ordered.

I think that also made the rebate insant because they only charged me $199 plus tax.
