That was fast!!\u00a0\u00a0 I have been trying to get into the site since 2:30pm pst and it was failing.\u00a0 Now I get a screen saying they have sold out on the pre-order?\u00a0 WTH??\u00a0 Sold out THIS fast?\u00a0 That makes NOOOO sense.\u00a0 I have a feeling something is up but not sure.\u00a0 However, given that the site was down for three hours<\/a> before switching to the sold out screen; I really wonder if Verizon is really aware of just what they are getting into by taking on the iphone?\u00a0 I would call this a warning shot across the bow.<\/p>\n

Regardless, that is the story.\u00a0 Here is the screen grab..<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I do not know if they are truly out-of-stock as the URL indicates:<\/p>\n

or if they’re servers were crushed and they are talking them offline for a bit.\u00a0 Time will tell.<\/p>\n

So I talked with the guys at the Verizon store and they are even surprised by how fast and how hard the servers were hit.\u00a0 They are going to huddle up tomorrow and review the plan of action for existing vs. new customers, so I would not say existing customers are screwed just yet.\u00a0 Keep posted to this channel, I will update once they get back to me.<\/p>\n
