The site has been on verizons page all day yesterday and is still on today, I have a friend who is an asst mngr at a corporate vz store and he said preorders will begin on monday the 19th and they will be shipped on the 29th overnight and I should get it the next day which is next friday. $299 with 100 rebate will make it $199. My wife is the main acct holder and she gets an addtl $100 off. So we will be getting two incredibles for $300, sounds good to me!

For once I don't think that this is more rumor. I was able to get on and register before they took the site down yesterday. Plus I have friend who works at the Verizon call center who called me yesterday to let me know that the incredible is coming out on the 29th.

i totally agree, arminius! An April 29th release date, not preorder date, is much more likely and logical from the page shown.

I don't think the image justifies the assumption that the pre-order starts on April 29. It says the next chapter in the Droid saga begins April 29. Sign up to receive more details on pre-ordering this device. It doesn't say pre-ordering begins on the 29th. It could be that pre-ordering will start whenever they expose the page. I think that if pre-ordering began on the 29th then it would say that.

Besides, who announces a specific date to *begin preorders*? They didn't even make that big a deal out of the Harry Potter books' preorder. I still think the device becomes available on the 29th, as confirmed by the leaked Best Buy docs.

Damn, here I was thinking that it would be released on the 29th. After reading this I think you are right, it says that it the saga starts on the 29th, but the phone is coming soon.. I think they are being intentionally vague. I sure hope it comes out on the 29th though, I have until the end of the month to take advantage of the smartphone upgrade offer.
