Taking the time off isn't that big of a deal (I have options), the issue is the hassle I had with Verizon. Then she wants to tell me I won't get the phone until AFTER Memorial Day, when the phone will be available in the store on Thursday the 23rd!? (she is figuring the phone won't ship until the 23rd, two days for shipping stretches it past the weekend). I ordered this phone back on April 25th. I expect to have it the same time (if not before) it is available in the store. I know there are plenty of other people that preordered early that feel the same way. Hopefully this will all work out and it will be a non-issue.
