I tried a lot of online places, either they are out of stock and have no idea when they will have more in...I tried a few local computer stores today too..same story
What area are you located in? Must be the area that just got 1.9?

The problem is that the drive manufacturing plants are mostly in Thailand and due to the flooding there is now a world wide hard drive shortage. Not expected to be back to full capacity until Q2 2012.
You may find one on the shelf in Wallmart. I noticed they carry them online for ordering and possibly in store. You just have to hope you hit a place that shows in stock. The WDC link I provided had 1TB model out of stock, but the 1TB model supported by FiOS showed in stock. I did not try to order, so if you find one, snatch it up quick.
I already tried Walmart,Best Buy,Microcenter and any other plausible outlets...ended up placing an order direct with WD..now lets hope its not back ordered..

WD did show the one out of stock, but the Verizon supported model I provided the link to did show in stock. Good luck and let us know how it works out. From WD site, and shows in stock.
