I forgot about it too when I first read this thread, but then I was on another forum and it reminded me of this.Verizon actually shortened their return time from 30 days to 14 days, so it's a good think you thought about it and didn't pre-order it!

I can't believe I forgot about this. I read about it a few days ago and didn't give it a second look. Glad you brought that to the table.
