Galaxy S5: Anyone preorder already??

[hardrocker89]

I paid the $19 for express shipping with bestbuy, which is basically 2 day shipping. On bestbuy's website they show the earliest the phone will be shipped via pre ordering is Apr 15th

So I finally got to check out the S5 last night at a Bestbuy at Westbury, Long Island and I thought it was SOLID! Screen was vibrant and beautiful. Scrolling was effortless and fluid. I actually thought it would be bigger. I think this is def the year I go with the Note series though.

I went and checked it today and the screen was amazing! Definitely noticeable difference than the S4 IMO

Yes screen looks way better than the GS4. Screen looks almost identical to the Note 3 (quality wise). I did the AT&T pre-order and mine also says preparing to ship with 4/8 or 4/9 as the ship dates. I don't know why the 32GB version wasn't made available right away?? Anyone know why?

So I want to preorder on tmobile. If I choose the cheap shipping option do you guys think it will get here on launch day? I tried asking tmobile on twitter but they haven't responded.

What was better about it? Im not familuar with the S4.

The S5 screen was nice when I saw it yesterday but don't really have anything newer to compare it to. My phone is a bit old :/ (evo 3d)

Lol tmobile already messed it up. I saw this page: https://www.t-mobile.com/Popup/Gene...r&device=71a12cd0-3b4e-48c1-a5c8-18e611a8a46e and I chose the slower shipping option because they don't mention that you need to choose a particular speed to receive the phone by launch. It says if you preorder by march 31, you will receive the phone by launch on 4/11. I preorder the phone, and the estimated delivery is 4/16. *SIGH*. I can't stand carriers and their games. Reached out to Tmo on twitter, awaiting a response. I have to call them tomorrow anyway because they're saying my ETF reimbursement isn't going through so I guess I'll have to talk about this now too. /rant.

There always seems to be something with upgrading a phone. I guess it will make life a bit more interesting for a little bit

I hope ours go smoothly!

Thanks man just so annoying. It's so hard to have an awesome Android experience when it comes to buying phones. Say what you will about Apple, but they've never f'd a preorder for me. Everything was seamless. /rant.

Just ordered a charcoal black Sprint s5 from Radio Shack. Can't wait!

When I preordered the LG G2 from T-mobile, I chose the cheapest shipping and actually got the phone 1 day early. Here's hoping you get yours on launch day along with me. I preordered the white GS5.

I assume you didn't ask to get it shipped to the store for asap pick up?

Thanks . I checked with tmobile, the order cannot be changed or modified in any way once placed. It's funny how much they changed and how little at the same time. I guess it's whatever. I'm going out of town so I wouldn't have been able to use the phone on the 11th anyway but I was hoping it would be here waiting for me when I got back. At least I'll have to wait two more days.

Sorry, wrong forum.

Mine is being shipped to the AT&T store for this exact reason

I just thought itd be common sense. (not trying to be mean for anybody who didn't)

I ordered through bestbuy and the only option was shipping to my home address. From what I can find the earliest the website says it will arrive is 4/15 and I'm hoping I get it before then.
