So when's the Verizon Fascinate launching?

So there's a little confusion of when the Verizon Fascinate is "launching," eh? Can't say we blame you. We were the first to bring you the Sept. 9 date, as seen last week on an internal Verizon BEST update. But we didn't stop there. On Friday, we brought you the image you see above, from the internal Verizon spec sheet (which has since leaked out in full).

Yes, it says "Launch Date 9/8/2010," which we noted last week. And it clearly mentions an "all-channel launch" on Sept. 9, 2010. So riddle us this, Batman: If you order it online on Sept. 8, what's the earliest date you think the phone will be at your door? So there's a "launch," and then there's a "launch." Pick your poison.
