For those in Vancouver who haven't pre-ordered, the Telus store on Georgia & Thurlow aren't receiving any and the Bell store on Robson & Thurlow are only receiving 4 :(

Unfortunately, I received that same email on June 6th. I ordered the phone on the 31st of may. I still hope to get my tracking # soon though. Acording to loyalty and retention, it should be sent out tomorrow as stock permits. What did everyone order 16 or 32? Blue or White? Just wondering.

Are you a dealer? I ask because you said arrive at your store...

lol no. When you pre-order with Rogers you get to pick a store it ships to when you're ready to go get it. The tracking number they sent me is giving me an error... "UPS could not locate the shipment details for your request. Please verify your information and try again later" What gives?

typical buck passing. Ironically, just received an email from Bell saying that th s3 will be released tomorrow and to come to their store to get one...I'm with Telus.:confused:

I'm with Telus and my wife went to get her upgrade today (she's getting an S2 since the Nexus is being retired with Telus) and the store confirmed they have them in stock locked away so I called Telus for a few things I wanted to check on and the lady told me for pre-orders the phone will be shipped on the release date so it could still be 3-5 days before I receive my handset.

Why in the world would anyone pre-order if it guarantees you will get your phone last. :mad:

I am also moving from Blackberry and this will be my first Android device so I hope the transition will be smooth, however I a prett geeky person so I assume it should be pretty easy.

I was told basically the same thing. The did tell me that I could go get one from a store and they would credit me back my preorder money. :confused:

Really defeats the purpose of pre-ordering if you can't get it first right when it comes out. Regardless, I'm going by the store tomorrow and if I can get one then without paying some ridiculous penalty, I will.

ups showed my phone Enroute and then delivered, I called the store and they claimed they didn't receive it and it was sent to a warehouse first. I guess that is possible although I have a suspicious feeling that the employee wanted the first initial batch for himself and his friends, anyone else?

Weird I would receive an email saying the phone was Enroute to the store, then to see tracking confirmation as delivered with a 14 item delivery. And then the employee to claim it isn't there?

I called into Bell and spoke with them set up a new plan and all. I then called into a store in my area and they were taking deposits to hold a device for people. I went in Sunday and paid 50$ on the pebble blue. Walked in today and picked it up at 10am. I have been playing with it all day.

Before this I had a BB9700 since Feb 2010. I have been following these sites the whole time and I am glad I got this phone.
