I'm getting one (or two) as well. Unfortunately, I'm a VZW employee, so I won't be able to order for several more weeks, I'm sure-

i just went through the same thing. i had to call verizon customer service and have them do it over the telephone. the service representative had to have her supervisor override it because it is only available on the web site. some sort of technical glitch right now. i'm sure after a few more phone calls, the web site will be repaired. can't wait to get it!!

Just got hooked up with one today for FREE(tax only)...my friend is a manager at Verizon store and they just got in the shipment so i rushed down there to pick it up and extended my contract for 2 yrs. This phone is off the hook! The video capture is awesome and the touch response is definitely better than the Voyager. It's very compact and lighter than the enV2. Lovin it, now i just gotta find some way to put a new browser on it. Good luck you guys hope you get yours soon!

i was wondering if anyone could solve my problem. i tried to upgrade my phone(and the other two on my account) but the dare is not on the list. i read that phones with html need nationwide plan and i have upgraded to that. the voyager and glyde show up but the dare doesn't. has verizon just not put it up on that part of the site yet or is there something else i need to do? i have also tried adding the phones into my cart but they don't show up. thanks for any help

just talked to them. They said after 12 midnight it will show up online as upgradeable. It just isn't 100% official yet in their system till it turns 12am.

you can order it online. You just cant get the additional 100 bucks off as its not available for upgrade at the moment

Cool. Another question, is verizonwireless network down right now or something? I can't complete my upgrade and it gives me this message. "Your request failed and cannot be completed online. Please contact Customer Service for additional information at 1.800.922.0204." I want to hurry up and orderthis so i can sleep! I can not go to sleep, I can't wait!!!

Nevermind, I just saw post #9. Thanks. Do you know when it would be available for the upgrade?
