Seems to depend on what colour you want, Silver is ok for the 19th apparently.
What color, size, and carrier....I went with space gray this time, but none of the others on verizon seemed be shipping any sooner. I case my phones, so I'm not hard over on the color.
Also, I don't get why Verizon charges a $30 one-time upgrade fee. For what, exactly? Just another way to line their pockets. Argh! If I were smart, I'd just cancel my cell phone plan altogether.
