Mine SAID 7/9 until last night. Now it says 7/11 with no explanation other than there was an error, and ppl that ordered a week after me are getting shipping notifications...

Whining? No... Venting? Absolutely!

The same thing happened to me. I ordered mine on day one at about 8 am. And now I have there was an error in your order. Any idea what the error is?

I called bestbuy to ask about my preorder they told me they are doing modification to the phone because of apple looooooool

Apple won an initial injunction against samsung banning their products because os the similarities between s-voice and siri. I bet they are patching up s-voice in order to be able to sell them at best buy. Those of us that ordered through vzw might be getting the device before the patch since we technically already paid for it. This is just my speculation
 
I don't want mine yet. I'm on a Family vacation and wont be home till the 10th with a ship date of the 9th. Anything sooner and I won't be home.

No clue. Someone else who got it called and was told there was nothing wrong with their order. Not sure if they have since received a shipping confirmation or not.

Wow! That's annoying. I called and they are clueless as usual. When they get them they will probably say that can't sell them because the are banned. :rolleyes:

That would be so funny...but not really.

Injunction is on the Galaxy Nexus not all Samsung phones. Apple will have to bring another suit against the GS3 as they were not allowed to add it into the one they had in process on the Gnex.
 
So, I just received a awesome email. :D Confirmation of being shipped with my tracking number! Now to plan for taking the day off so I can sign for the puppy! :D
 
Woooohoooo!

Just got my email that it shipped. My patience was beginning to crack. Anyway, i ordered the phone on 6/11.

I think you're putting in the wrong number. If using the "ordered from store" search then use the order number. You can also use the "ordered from the website online" search, but then use the preorder number. And, no, I ordered from a store on 6/6 and nothing has changed for me.

Thank you, after calling again they finally gave me a number that would work... Does yours still say expected ship date on the 9th?
 
I've noticed that if I refresh the preorder verification page every 1.5 seconds nothing changes. Maybe I should try every 0.75 seconds instead? :)

No, technically you have NOT already paid for it. Verizon doesn't charge your card until it ships or right before it ships. And my own speculation on your speculation is that none of it is correct at all.:rolleyes:;)

for those of you that had their orders shipped, is it normal for the fedex tracking number to not work? on the fedex website it says not found ... what are the odds of this phone arriving tomorrow? because i work tomorrow and i think i will miss it i would rather it ships friday as i am off that day... if i knew which date it was coming i could strategically call out sick from work but i cant since i dont know when its coming.

Got my tracking at 830am today

Picked up this morning by FedEx and two day delivery on MONDAY!!!!! Wtf is this crap. I'm three states over for god sakes. So much for overnight shipping ..

I have the exact same thing. We got caught up in a holiday and the weekend. But I don't think next day delivery can be expected when it's shipped for two day delivery :(

I'm fairly certain that just means Verizon has assigned the tracking#, but FedEx hasn't yet scanned the package (origin scan) meaning it hasn't been picked up yet. It is the driver origin scan that should add the tracking info into FedEx's system, not when Verizon assigns the tracking#.

Not good odds.

This indicates that Verizon has generated the FedEx tracking number to ship your device, but that FedEx hasn't picked it up and logged it into their system yet.

This is exactly why I only deal with a Corporate store which is about 40 minutes from me or at the VW Corporate website ever since I got my first cellphone. There is no third party deal out there that can lure me their way for a measly $50.00 savings because in the long run you gonna' pay. You know the saying - (uhhh, in this case - modified slightly) "You don't get what you pay for".

Secondly, I would never buy anything from a place that has a "Geek Squad"

Yep mine too. Im guessing they will be in newark tomorrow and out for delivery from newburgh friday :-)

We should drive down to the Coatesville, PA terminal to make sure our truck leaves the yard first and then come back home. I'm sure we would get some strange looks from the workers there. :D

I've proved Best Buy's Geek Squad wrong so many times it's not even funny. They always try to get me to buy more things or parts, when usually it's a simple update that needs to be done. :mad:

I don't believe anyone of them ever reached puberty and I'm even talkin' about the 50+ year old ones.
 
16GB, blue, ordered 6/6.
Shipment email received on 7/4.
Fedex says the tracking number is "Not Found", so I don't know whether it's left VZW yet.
