I ordered the blue, not that it's relevant, as Samsung/Verizon/Best Buy have failed to provide the product regardless of it's color. I don't care how you slice it, it's their fault. And thanks for assuming what "suits me" and what doesn't. I'm quite confident just about any iPhone I get will...

Probably going to order an XS tonight or this weekend since Samsung/Verizon/Best Buy have been unable to fulfill my Note 9 preorder (and Samsung/Best Buy just announced an exclusive color that they can apparently get in stock but still can't/haven't fulfilled their preorders for the earlier...

Given Samsung's announcement of an exclusive new color dropping on Friday of next week despite not being able to create enough Blue 512's to fulfill preorders (including my own, which I'm still waiting on with no signs it will be fulfilled before next week), I'm cancelling my Best Buy preorder...

If this is what I can expect from Samsung in the future, I think I'm cancelling my preorder and just sticking with iPhones. I have yet to receive my preordered Galaxy Note 9 512gb, and they're hyping new colors, including an exclusive color with the vendor I preordered with? This entire...

How convenient of Best Buy to tell me they're "taking longer to fulfill than anticipated" in an email today, and to let me know that they'll conveniently cancel my order if it doesn't show up in another month.

I'm half-tempted to preorder one of the new iPhones and see which gets here first: My preordered iPhone or my Verizon Ocean Blue 512 GB Note 9 preordered through Best Buy.

Don't know how helpful this will be but what I've gotten so far is: 1. Best Buy has no idea when these phones are going to come in. They literally don't know if any of the provider phones (AT&T/Verizon/Sprint/Etc...) are on that day's truck until they start unloading it. As far as I can...

Pretty much where I'm at. Or just waiting to see what Apple unveils next week and if there's anything that looks as good/better then will cancel and preorder that (likely somewhere other than Best Buy) instead. I don't blame Best Buy for Verizon/Samsung's poor forecasting ability, but I do...

Mine has been "Preparing" since the 24th. It's basically a polite way of saying "backordered." I called Best Buy Mobile about it. On their side they see it as "Preparing: Awaiting Inventory." Funny how they don't show the consumer that in the automated system. That said, there may be other...

I'm seriously thinking that the answer is going to be "October."

Still waiting. Still no clue when I'll get my phone.

That MAY have been just the blue model, but I'm not really sure, or like I said, even sure how accurate the statement was. Pretty sure he was just really trying to keep me from cancelling my preorder.

Take it for what it's worth, but the Best Buy Mobile CSR I just talked to said that up to this point Best Buy had only received somewhere in the neighborhood of 700 Verizon 512GB phones for the entire United States.

I don't think it qualifies as "backordered" until they send you a shipping/arrival date estimate.

Sure, but I'm also probably getting the phone for less than the price it was released at since it'll already have been out a while. To be clear when I say "in stock" I also mean "been out a while." I don't have to have the latest and greatest (though it's nice when it can be managed). Just a...
