Ordered around 1:30PM on the 29th, had the bank decline the charge (they received a phone call which was very polite but in which my displeasure was made
extremely clear) only to resubmit and have it go through on the night of the 30th.
Currently have February 13th as my estimated shipping date, but the charge has already hit my card, which is fine with me I suppose! Just relieved to seem to have a "firm" order in for one, after waiting for what seems like ages!
Very interested in getting the device, going to switch for a month from an iPhone 5, after using Android off and on since 2009. First device was a MyTouch 3G, followed by a G2, followed by a Nexus One, which I sort of despised!
Just arrived! Am about to unbox! Bumper, which I ordered 30 minutes after the phone is scheduled to be delivered tomorrow!
BTW, I think that Google sent a trailer of phones (or a few trailers) to select UPS shipping facilities, and notifies UPS what to send and to whom. The senders address is as follows:
UPS-SCS-GA
BLDG 1 DOCK DOOR 54
2200 OUTER LOOP
LOUISVILLE, KY 40219.
Smart way to optimize the delivery of these phones.
That probably isn't far off actually. SCS is the Supply Chain Solutions arm of UPS. It's likely that UPS take pallets of phones straight from LG, handle the import (dealing with customs is one of their specialities) of them into the US and then break the pallets down into individual customer orders, at which point they feed a "block" of tracking numbers back to Google who relay that data to us. Partially explaining why some of us aren't getting tracking info until the morning of delivery.
