New release date from Best Buy

They might just be saying that since they realized the date is not confirmed officially yet. Not sure why they felt confident enough with 5/23 to begin with though.

If I had to venture a guess it would be that someone arbitrarily put a date in the system since we know its not launching tomorrow, perhaps not realizing that it would send out an email immediatly to everybody with preorders with the "new date." As an employee of BBY I would really not be surprised...

This date had been discussed internally at sprint, apparently.
