VZW store has low inventory

so i just called my local verizon store and talked to an employee that said they only have 24 incredibles in at the moment and they are first come first serve. how nerve wracking! verizon hasnt done much advertising so that eases me slightly, but what if they run out?! ill probably be in the store between 12:30pm:1:00pm. anyone think that they will be out by then?

I would go earlier than that. I once watched a VZW store sell out their bb 8330 on the first day by 11am.

i wish i could but i dont think i can, i have to get up in the morning for school and i am not out until 12:00pm! i wish that they could just hold one for me but since its first come first serve they cant.

That's weak on their part. The corporate store by me is reserving one for me.

i agree, it is very weak. the store i am going to is not corporate. does only corporate stores hold for customers? because they wouldnt even allow me to do that. maybe the employee i spoke with was as much of a weasel as the last one i spoke with.

the corp store by me told me last week that they wouldn't get them on launch(I knew that was bs) so I preordered mine online. Today I went on there to buy a case or two and the assistant manager told me that they have in them in stock now and will will open early tomorrow to sell them. Either way by this time tomorrow I will be playing with my Incredible.

that is what frustrates me, you dont know if they are feeding you bs or if that really is the case. im almost tempted to still pre-order online today and hope for it tomorrow because who knows when the store will re-stock if i get there too late!. i just want my incredible by tomorrow!!!!!!

My store was pre-ordering 10 phones in person only. They had me buy a $50 gift card and fill a form out to reserve my Incredible. Can't wait for tomorrow =D

I have absolutely no idea how these launch days work or what kind of demand there will be at the stores. Are they like Springsteen tix where you're shut out if you don't get in during the first 30 seconds of release?

Judging from the posts on these boards, you would think the world will be in line for the phone. But in real life - where MOST people don't look beyond email, texting and MAYBE the calendar, is it likely that there will be a run on the phones at Verizon stores?

I definitely want mine tomorrow and definitely do NOT want to order online. Prob is I can't get there until late afternoon. Is there a chance I'll miss the boat?
