I woke up this morning and the first thing I did was check my order status and bank account for any signs of movement. Nothing yet
I've been refreshing both every half hour lol.

Not to rain on any people's parade but I have a feeling anyone that didn't order directly from Verizon won't get thiers shipped until Thursday as they wouldn't want to **** Verizon off and cause themselves a major issue and posibly a fine or loss of contract. this is just a guess though
Yeah, I don't expect it ship until Thursday (as all the places Simplexity sells) have the same "phone will ship on official verizon wireless launch date." But I'd love to see carrier approval and credit card charged at least a day before then so all that needs to happen on Thursday is them putting it in the box and handing it over to FedEx.
A day before makes sense which mean Wed. The ones that are checking quite often I do understand the desire and antispiation of waiting for your phone. I'm in the same boat in some ways. I know I'm getting one because of the contest but no more information is availible at this time until Verizon offically releases it. So take heart that you will be getting it before me LOL

I preordered my Thunderbolt through Wirefly and I just checked my email history and it look like I received the Verizon approval/processing email the day before the official launch day and it was shipped on the actually launch day (3/17/11). I imagine this would be the same type of situation here. It would be nice if they shipped early to arrive on the 23rd though.
Does anybody remember if Verizon started shipping the Thunderbolt before its official launch date?
Did a quick chat with them yesterday. No updates :/ They said it is supposed to ship the day it becomes available so hopefully on the 23rd. If it doesn't ship by the 24th I'll probably go buy in rhode island or something where i can skip sales tax.
Whoever I talked to on chat claimed they had 1600 preorders to fulfill so far.
I preordered through Newegg. Did a live chat yesterday as well (12:00ish EDT). The rep I spoke with said they had 850 preorders and they would all be shipped at the same time. I also asked if they're typically ship on carrier release day and he said no. It was definitely an off-shore rep, so there may have been some problems with the language barrier.
I hope by his no, he meant it ships a day earlier
Haha. I hope so, but my order is still stuck on "Waiting on Carrier Approval", so it doesn't look too likely.
We'll have to see what happens tomorrow. If my order hasn't changed by Thursday, I may cancel and go to Costco ($199+tax) or Amazon (not published yet, but Prime will give it to me next day for $4). My impatience is worth $40 if need be.
That's not very many preorders. You'd think they'd be able to send them all out right away.
Amazon used to be Simplexity also. Are they running their own store again now? I noticed it said "wireless.amazon.com has moved"
