Im in the same boat as Stevieq. I preordered mine at Best Buy in Dallas, although I preordered it on the 11th, and was told it would be in on the 17th. I showed up on the 17th excited and ready to pick up my shiny new White Note4, along with my pre-order paperwork, and was told, "oh, we don't have enough phones for our pre-order, we will email you when it gets here." I was slightly beyond pissed off, and made sure the manager knew that I felt like I had been lied to, in an effort to pre-order the phone through them. Ultimately, had I just literally walked next door, I could have pre-ordered the phone through Sprint, and had the phone. The only upside is that Best Buy allows me to use my BB credit card, and the 200 dollar rebate instantly comes off the price of the phone, instead of waiting, but I guess it makes no different if I have to wait 6-8 weeks to get the phone vs. the rebate. LOL.
