I just ordered mine! Thank you very much for posting this! Good lookin' out Engadget!!

There needs to be a correction in regards to the shipping times. It says phones ordered BEFORE this time will ship BY December 5th.. *NOT* ON Dec...

Same thing with the phones ordered after 12 noon (the time zone is local time so, 12pm of whatever time zone your account is in).. they will ship BY December 15th NOT ON Dec 15th.. There is a big difference between "by" and "on" and it even says "BY 12/5" in the screen cap that was posted...

I agree with what "The D Train" said. With this big of a launch you need to get your ducks in a row AHEAD of time. Wake up early if you need to (just like black friday), stand in line, pre-order, etc.

People who are asking for exceptions (i.e. people who want to upgrade early and are not eligible) have to have the orders **approved** FIRST by a sup (which CAN take several hours), then it gets sent to the warehouse for processing (which can vary from several hours to DAYS), THEN it goes to FedEx for shipping (which is when your "overnight" delivery kicks in if you asked for it. If we make an exception, be happy we let you do what you wanted because we could have said NO :) If you were PATIENT and waited until you were actually eligible your order would have gone through several hours earlier. Be patient, this kind of thing should be expected with a huge launch such as this. Please keep this in mi abovced the next time you ask for something you aren't really entitled to just yet :)

As far as the people who ordered "late" and WERE eligible to upgrade and got a later shipping date, ignore what I said in the paragraph above.

One thing to help keep you updated on all of your orders is to have a current email address on your account file as the warehouse will email you with shipping info when it becomes available.

Also, FedEX does NOT deliver on the weekends (unless you pay for it). Even then keep in mind that it will not be overnighted right away if your storm order has not been processed by a certain time (such as late Friday). Orders are being processed in the order they are received (of course).

OK so that was more like $2, but it needed to be said..


BY... not "ON" :D

This phone launches April 2nd

I can confirm this phone will be launched on the 23rd.
