I'm just afraid people will abuse the hell out of the unlimited plan and Verizon won't get true statistics regarding data usage and they will propose some off the wall tiered data plan pricing.
There's a storm brewing...

I feel weird about my preorder at BB. I work until evening and I'm afraid they won't get enough stock to cover the preorders and I won't get my TB tomorrow. If they only get four phones, there are five preorders, and the other four customers got there phones earlier than me, I'm out of luck.

It does not work that way. You need to find out where you are in the queue. If you are #1 or #2, let's say, they will hold the phone for you till you get there.
Having said that, I haven't heard anything from the Best Buy that took my preorder. Any need to get worried?
I keep talking myself in and out of buying it. Locking in the unlimited data plan is enticing and I'm sure the Thunderbolt will probably get Gingerbread before they "officially" release Froyo for the Fascinate. Now I just gotta find some sucker on Craigslist. haha

I checked how much people were generally asking for it ... I found $250 - $325 in general. So I posted it for $250. No fish biting yet.
And ah, I posted in two markets - NH and Boston.
i got a STORM 2 FOR SALE!!! I have only had it for 1 week changed my strom 1 cuz it stopped working and took it in to local VZ store and they exchanged it for a STORM2. anybody interested????
Yes I talked to BB and asked them the same question, and I asked a knowledgeable rep there. The guy told me your place in queue doesn't matter, they fill the preorders on a first come first serve basis, there are no appointments, they just cant sell the phones to customers who did not preorder, ie if they have just enough to fill preorders those will be held for those customers.

My NE2 credit will still work right? My contract ends on the 29th of this month, but we havent used the NE2 credit yet. I know they got rid of it or something, but since I was signed up before that announcement do I still get it? or was it forfeited when they announced that?
My best buy in staten island ny said there are no appointments, just come in and pick it up. He did state that pre-orders were covered and have enough phones...
sorry for the double-post.
I'm upset b/c I also put in a preorder with Wirefly for a TB for my wife and I can't find anyone who knows what they are talking about or can answer my questions. I ask about apples and they answer about oranges. This is the main problem with companies outsourcing their customer care to developing countries and the reason why so many large companies are now bringing those jobs back to the US.
Here is a case in point:
I pre-order the TB, on my order page, it first stated that it sent my info to Verizon for approval. Then it came back and stated approved and awaiting shipment. Then I realized they had me on the 44.99 web plan and I did not request that. So I called and they changed it to the 29.99. I check the order page once more and it tells me its being sent to Verizon for approval again.
So when I call Wirefly, they tell me the reason the order page says 'sent to Verizon for approval' is because the HTC TB has not been released yet. I could not, for the life of me, get a proper answer. I called several times and got the same cookie-cutter response each time.
So...
I canceled my order.
I called the Verizon Corporate store, put in an appointment with a rep there who said he had 30 TB waiting in the back and would be ready and waiting for me at 9 am. Not to mention, I have the ne2(?) $30 discount, according to Verizon, that I can use on my equipment.
I also have my BB preorder, of which I'm 4th in line, for my own phone.
Although I thought I'd save some money by going through WireFly, when I call a company, any company, and cannot get a straight answer for a simple order, it doesn't bode well for when I have a real problem after getting the phone and need assistance. That's okay, it might be $50 cheaper, but if the headache that results is ten-fold, I'd rather just pay $50 more and go to a brick-and-mortar store with reps that half-way know what I'm talking about.

From what I have heard is since best buy did the pre-orders at $249, they didnt want to cause any more of an uproar and say thet the phone was higher and at the same time didnt want non pre-order customers complaigning that pre-order customers got a special deal, so they made the limited time $249 price for all..
