+3?
Anyway, I could go either way. I am setting up for getting it on the 10th, but 8th or 9th would not surprise me, either. I am still hoping for the 4th, but think that is <10% chance.
Reading an article about Verizon confirming 3AM (I must be lonely - Sorry, couldn't resist) on
PCmag.com, it does say "which are likely to be delivered on the Feb. 10 launch date." However, one of the comments states "Verizon told me personally on a call about pre-ordering that the phone will ship on the 7th so pre-orders will get earlier than the 10th!"
I can see them taking preorders starting the 3rd through the weekend, and, if they haven't sold out by Sunday, turning off the preorder then. Monday, ship out all the preorders, people get them the 8th or 9th (Tuesday/Wednesday) and then live on the 10th for the nation.
I think once we see our shipping options? We'll have a better understanding on when we'll get them.
