Here's where you're wrong. It should read pre-order date.
You pre-ordered it on 6/6, at that time VZW told you it would ship by 7/9. Amazingly, they are still telling you 7/9.
Feel free to restart the teeth nashing...

Yes, on 6/6 at 4:02pm we all received an email from Verizon saying:
'Unfortunately our original confirmation email to you contained an incorrect Ship by Date of June 6; the actual ship date for your order is July 9th.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. We recognize that you have a choice in wireless service and thank you for choosing Verizon Wireless'.
So, they acknowledged and corrected their error 9 hours later.
