I asked what they were seeing on their screen that told them this and they said "Available via all channels" which according to them means physically in the store as well. Often, the reps in the store don't get trained on a phone until the day before release, sometimes not even that.

While it is true they keep us in the dark, and most in store reps have no idea what they are talking about. I on the other hand am a tech in the store and keep up on this stuff. Usually we get inventory in stock in the store more than a day before launch. The only exception to that that I can remember (PDA wise anyway) was the BB Storm. Those we got the day before launch. And Storm training was shoved down our throats almost a month before. The HTC Ozone which we got in stores we had a training a month before it was out. The HTC TP2 has not been pushed like some of these. It is "Available via all channels via Direct Fulfillment Only". These will not be in store for the launch date of Sept 11th.

Yes I believe you can add Saturday shipping online. Personally I can not order online(duh) but I will be calling starting Thursday night 9pm PST to order. If that doesn't work then first thing Friday morning before i go into work for sure.
