Galaxy S5: Release Dates & Order/Shipping Discussion

Samsung Galaxy S5 at Verizon: No Official Release Date As Pre-April 11 Launch Is Being Planned?

This site (never been on it before so I don't know what its reputation is like) is speculating that VZW hasn't announced anything about the S5 because it's contemplating an early release in light of the precedent set by the Korean carriers. Not sure I entirely buy that (especially considering the link to supposed "hints" dropped by VZW is broken), but one can hope...

Considering how late vzw always is with releases I don't think they'll release early. Would surprise me quite a bit if this is true.

According to PhoneDog, the S5 is available unlocked, as of yesterday. Unlocked HTC One (M8), Samsung Galaxy S5 now available from GSM Nation | PhoneDog

"Ordering online is a great way to snag a One (M8) or Galaxy S5 before most other folks, and while it's kind of a bummer that these models don't support LTE in the U.S., the upside is that they're free of preinstalled carrier apps and their updates don't need to go through an operator before being pushed out over the air."

Verizon preorder is open. the potential downer is that they say you will receive it within 2 days of the 11th

Any word on the Sprint release? I'm hoping to get it before the 11th. Last year the s4 shipped early too.

I know customer service speaks misinformation often, but everyone I've spoken to claims you'll have it day of release. maybe they say that 2 day thing just to cover themselves?

Thats what I'm thinking probably keeps them from being sued

The rep I just chatted with said it's supposed to ship on the 11th, but it could ship before then. Real helpful haha. I still will probably get it from Best Buy because I got in on that $50 off a new phone deal before it ended. Hopefully they'll have it on the 11th.

I just pre-ordered at Best Buy. I should get the $10 pre-order offer, $50 new phone deal that I registered for in February, and a $50 trade-in for my old phone. Combined with some rewards points, the phone should cost me less than $80 + tax.

I don't know if I can wait another week! Getting excited to have a new phone!

TMo staff wrote on TMo's own forum that if you ordered by a certain date, i. e. early, you'd receive it by 4/11th regardless of method of shipment chosen. Those who picked next day air must be bummed out.

Nice. I would go ahead and pre-order but there's no in store pickup option yet. No one is ever home during the day so delivery to my house doesn't really work. I'm also waiting to try to convince a family member to upgrade too. If I can, I'll hit up the Verizon bogo deal.

They said I will be notified when my phone is available and I can purchase it in the store. I put down $25 to hold the phone and in return they gave me a $25 gift card to use towards the purchase. I guess I am not really obligated to buy the phone at this point.

Oh cool, I may have to look into that. Did you have to go to your local BB in person to do it?

Yes, I did pre-order in the Best Buy store, but I thought there was an option to pre-order online through their website.

I preordered a white S5 through AT&T.. This morning I woke up to an email welcoming me to AT&T. I wonder if this means that they are about to ship
