now seriously considering the auro glow because I can swap the pen for only 25.00. not too much at all.

I got a call suddenly from BestBuy. Mind you, I am one of the unknown arrival dates whose order says it'll cancel after the 22nd. They claim an issue and I brace myself for a painful process. Nope, really nice guy helps and speaks to AT&T after I gave my passcode (primary reason they called), but suddenly the call drops. Yeah, my current SIM was deactivated. * I call back and he says, they screwed it up but give it up to a day and call AT&T if necessary. Apologetic, nice the whole time.

Chatted with AT&T and they say, well after arguing that I'm using a phone bought 4 days ago because he didn't get the year right, eventually that if I restart now he is "100% confident" my phone will work again.

That was an hour and four restarts ago.

The good news is, BestBuy said my AT&T Aura Glow is shipping tomorrow. Bad news? I'm not betting it arrives until after the holiday. Still, just give me the phone you swore I'd have in my hands on release day.

It has a silver frame, too, so you could skin it and just have a simple silver frame and bezel around the camera, pop in a black pen.

I ordered mine because I am working out of town so I preordered mine to that town. Well, I'm going home tomorrow and my order status still states it will arrive tomorrow. Yet, no one knows when. So I call the online number and since I ordered it from a store I had to speak to that store. I speak to the store to try to get them to send it to my home best buy and they couldn't. What a crock. Never again. They told me I could cancel my order but I don't want to lose the entire reason I preordered.

Who is it shipping through? Carrier should be able to re route

Well, I was SUPPOSED to, but allegedly it's going to be ready tomorrow. Although I've gotten zero updates that this is actually the case...

 

[amyf27]

Cant believe it's been a week since the launch day and some still dont have their phones

 

[Serial Fordicator]

Mine says the same as yours. No updates either. I'm betting it will be delayed yet again.

Is it worth opening a phone call with BB in a separate tab while I'm working and griping about this situation? I mean...I preordered something almost two weeks before it was released, and I still don't have it.
