ordered: 8-7-10 Credit card was charged on the 8th (I also order a 2nd DX on the 9th)
notification: N/a
received: N/a
location: Orange County, CA
status: Current customer, NE2 discount price
So far it looks like I will get it on or after the quoted ship by date "25th" or if I'm lucky a day or two early. The only people I have noticed that received their phones faster are the replacement orders (people who's first DX was defective).
I have a feeling some people have posted they received their phones earlier just to piss others off. I'm pretty sure I saw one person say they received their phone in one forum but recently post they are still waiting.
Lastly, anyone that ordered with a ship date of 8/30 or 8/31 (forget which) may be disappointed since I noticed Verizon's site kept moving the ship date out into September but did not update the picture that showed 8/31 (looks to be fixed now). I noticed a few days ago that the ship date was 9/6 but the photo showed 8/31.
