So far, it appears that shipping notices have been sent only for those who ordered the Ultra and Plus models. Has anyone got a shipping notice for a basic S21 model ?

Just got my update at 4:50pm PST in California. Pixel 4XL, unlocked, using with Verizon. Update was 21.1 MB, but took about 15 minutes to install. Face unlock still works OK, with and without glasses. Finally !

I have a T-Mobile Prepaid plan. At my home, I can get mind boggling speeds early in the morning, when traffic is light. At 5am this morning, I got 168 Mbps download, 45 Mbps upload, with a Pixel 4XL, using the Ookla speedtest. At 5 pm, I'm lucky to get 3 Mbps download. Are the Magenta postpaid...

Very pleased with my 4XL. Only hitch so far is that a few of my apps don't work properly with Android 10, and need updating by the developers.

Ordered a Pixel 4 XL 128gb black, with delivery on Oct 23-24. I currently have a Galaxy S10, which is a terrific phone, but the flakey fingerprint reader is driving me crazy. I had an iPhone 10 before, and loved Face ID, but didn't like the limitations of iOS. Don't care about the color, as I...

I am using the phone with the preinstalled screen protector. By turning on Touch Sensitivity in Display Settings, and using my index finger instead of my thumb, the fingerprint reader has been working 100% of the time for me. Very pleased with the S10+ so far.

Just got my shipping notice from Samsung. Ordered 2/28 - Verizon, 128gb, black. I got the Verizon version, as I know from experience with several Galaxy S series phones that the unlocked version is always last in line for software updates. Locking is not an issue, at least if the phone is paid...

I ordered an S8+ on Thursday, June 22. It said "ships in 2-3 weeks". Just received notice that it was shipped today, with delivery on Mon., July 3. A one week wait - not too bad.

Ordered from Samsung on first day of preorders. Just received a text msg from Fed Ex (8:50am PDT) saying to expect a pkg on 4/20, signature required. It gave a tracking number. No notification from Samsung as yet.

For those who like Seidio products - cases and holsters for the Moto X Pure Edition were released today. (Monday, Nov. 9)

I just received the Supcase that I ordered from Amazon, and am very pleased with it. I am using it with a Seidio holster that was made for the iPhone 6 Plus (2014), and it is a perfect fit. The Supcase has a frosted back, which I prefer, because I have found the clear cases to be fingerprint...

Re: Holsters If all you want is a holster, you can probably use a Seidio holster made for another phone. I am using a Seidio holster made for the iPhone 6 Plus, and it works just fine with the Motorola supplied bumper, or with a not too thick case. For a naked Moto X you would need something a...

The solution I used to get the update was to pull the sim, do a factory reset, fire the phone up without a sim, and log in to my wifi network. The 5.1 update was available immediately. I only had about 1 1/2 pages of apps, so it wasn't too much work to set the phone up again. I chose this method...

Yes. I just got it this evening. Received notification that it was available - I didn't have to check for update.

I was using the Casemate Naked Tough Case which I liked for the clear back. Unfortunately, I found that the overlay button for the power switch kept the switch partially depressed, so that the slightest brushing by a finger would light up the phone. I changed to the Supcase, which has the...
