Verizon Associates have been saying that the update will be available December 8 (Monday). I have been told from both individuals at the store and at customer service 800 number.
My guess is they are just preparing the servers for Monday's release.
The only catch is maybe they are pushing it up a few days since Bell released an update, but I doubt it.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm in the market for a new phone and money isn't a limitation. I'm also not partial to any particular US carrier, but here are some of the features I'd like to have: WiFi, GPS, good coverage in lots of places, push Gmail (a must!), physical keyboard (a must!), a touchscreen, decent battery life and a relatively slim body. And please, nothing that has a fruit logo on it. No offense to the fruit fans, though. Thanks!"
