I've noticed the same thing with my HTC One. Lately I've been checking the "power saver" option when it's charging, and it seems to charge almost twice as fast when that's checked. It helps that the phone (at least the Sprint version I have) leaves that one-touch option right at the top of the...

Mine arrived here in Denver about 45 minutes ago, just after 12:15 p.m. Mountain. Charging it now, can't wait to dig in. I still would like to see Sprint improve its communication during the pre-order period, but I have to give credit where it's due: The phone's here by the date Sprint promised...

That said, my UPS shipping information just updated to Friday delivery, so I'm very pleased to finally have confirmation that I should be home for the phone's arrival tomorrow.

I didn't say it was inaccurate. I'm saying that the information from Sprint should be clearer and communicated better. I have a shipping confirmation from Sprint (though I had to locate it in my spam folder), but even now, my order status on the site still says "Order in Progress," and the funds...

I'm sure that's true, and I'm sure it will happen again next time, but for those of us who haven't been through the pre-order insanity, the process still seems a little, well, insane. Every launch shouldn't come down to a last-minute scramble that feels like there's four seconds left on the...

No update here yet. Still scheduled for Monday. I'm trying very hard not to drive myself crazy by checking it constantly. This might require an Ambien.

Hope you're enjoying the weather in St. Pete, Scott. (I worked for the Times for about 20 years.) It's 29 degrees here in Denver, but I won't care as long as I get my phone by tomorrow. :)

Sweet. Let's hope we'll all soon see the same.

A couple of hours ago, I found the shipping email in my spam folder (sent 1:44 a,m. Mountain time). Nothing showed up when I tracked it through UPS then, but I checked just now, and the tracking comes up with the same "end of day on Monday" delivery time mentioned in earlier posts. I ordered on...

Okay, cool. That hasn't been my experience with other things, but I haven't done a phone pre-order previously. I appreciate the info.

Cool, thanks for the post. That eases my mind a little, at least, though I've never been in a situation where something I ordered arrived the same day as I receive a tracking email. If you're going to announce a release date and start accepting pre-orders, you should have a system in place to...

I pre-ordered on 4/11, and my order status remains "Order in Progress," nothing else. Sprint is still showing a $215 credit toward my account, so I'm wondering if that means the order hasn't actually been technically placed yet. Is anyone else who pre-ordered still seeing a credit for the...
