So today's Wednesday; still hasn't shipped meaning it has no chance of being here Thursday. The best case scenario now is that it will arrive Friday. Last time I will ever pre-order.

People...breath, inhale, exhale, repeat. Worse comes to worse...you get the phone Saturday or Monday, a week from now you won't even remember the difference.

seriously calm down people it gets there when it gets there. but in all seriousness it usually gets there the day before release with pre-orders. This is the first time i've pre-ordered via the sprint store and even they are saying it will get there before the 19th and with pre-orders and as soon as they arrive pre-orders only can pick them up.

Anyone have any good news yet? Still getting the same "Aug 17th" message. I ordered the Black Onyx, wondering if that is playing a role in this by some chance.

I have done preorder with most of the phones I have received since preorder started. I have been with Sprint since 98 and the one thing I noticed is you can't believe much of what the reps say. My tracking number gets to me the day or day before I receive the phone in most cases. I have never received the phone before the release in the store. If it said the 19th for release then I received it on the 19th. So I am not concerned that I won't get it early since I never have before.

it is absolutely different for everyone. i have also been a long time sprint customer and have always gotten my pre-order the day before release.

Just got off chat with sprint and this is what they said

"I see here according to the inventory report the device will be on stock and shipped by the end of 8/17. Once shipped, most orders are delivered within 2 to 3 business days. All orders are fulfilled and shipped on a first in, first out basis. I see you placed your order on the 3rd so it should be among the first to ship out, also you can track the status yourself at www.sprint.com/myorder with the order number."

They said that with the pre-order there is no guarantee that you will get it on release day, but its guaranteed that you will get the phone in the color you want without waiting in line.

Is it me or does the rep reply sound extremely robotic? Like reading verbatim from some sheet?

My pet peeve when speaking with agents is that (unless its contract oriented), and when they repeat what i LITERALLY just told them.
Me: hi could you please tell me my balance
Agent: sure, so you would like to check your balance. Correct?

Customers do the same at my job.
Me: please unplug the power cord
Cust: you want me to unplug the power cord

Then they have me questioning if i spoke english or accidentally started speaking spanish.

This would be a travesty for me because I leave for a 7 day vacation Saturday morning! It's Friday, earlier or bust for me.

Their chat help is so bad. It pains me to try to talk to them every time. They told me after 4pm shipping information should be there. What are the chances?

I was just on chat and was told that they do not have the phones in stock and they hope to ship them in the next 7 days. REALLY?!?! They need to get their stories straight.
