Idol 4S

I Ordered mine and my order still on Hold status, I called Alcatel and they said, you will receive an E-mail with confirmation by 1:00 PM Pacific time, it's almost 2:00 pm and there is no word from them yet, their phone system is the most out dated. I am having second Thoughts about this phone.
I called to find out that my shipping is delayed due to "high demand". I might cancel. Would've been nice to get an email, waited on hold for 20 minutes.
Well this sucks. I might have to cancel my pre order as well. I just sold my primary phone yesterday thinking that was coming out today. I'm currently using a first gen moto g and it just is not cutting it.

You can get it done $299 if you order it online from shop.blackberry.com

I gott the same response from them. I ordered immediately when preorders went live. There can't be that many in front of me. I'll be patient though since the Axon seems to have so many issues and the software is totally unappealing.

The site says that they're "in stock" so it hopefully won't be too much longer. The gentleman I spoke with yesterday said it should arrive before next weekend as they expect to ship within the next day or two.
Seriously though between the 5 months it took to release this thing and now this, I'm wondering if the idol 4s actually exists at all haha.

I bought the Idol 3 @ launch last year for $199. I have been weighing the Axon 7 and the Idol 4S for the last few weeks. Kinda relieved to be sitting on the sideline at the moment as Alcatel is having shipment issues and, judging from the forums, Axon 7 is purportedly having QC issues or some software 'features' that rub people the wrong way.
I will be sitting on the sidelines for now and pull the trigger on either phone down the road after a few firmware updates or I might just grab the latest 5.5 Nexus if the price is right (I doubt it will be)
Why not try a Oneplus 3. I preordered a idol 4s and already returned the axon 7 to amazon. The OP3 is great and i may cancel the idol but at least wanted to try it out, easy and free return policy.
Thought about the OP3 but poor audio, no SD card support and dated screen resolution are deal killers for me.

The OP3 never even piqued my interest for those very same reasons.
Regarding Alcatel...here's a tip Alcatel; if you want to hang with the big boys like you say you do. Don't advertise that your phone will ship on a certain day, then have that day come and go without shipping those devices and saying a word about it. If you forsee a delay, at the very least, inform the thousands of people that decided to give you their business. We shouldn't have to call you and be told untruths by your Reps.
Communication is key. That's customer service 101. Ask Moto about where poor customer service has gotten them. Perhaps I sound like an impatient child but in all honesty I've been waiting 6 months to get my hands on this device.
I hear you! Root without voiding warranty is top priority for me, then camera, manageable size and weight, and minimum 64gb storage. Audio is a nice bonus and screen on oneplus is adequate. I suppose that's why I like the OP, curious if Idol can perform and get root access.
Why can't we get a phone with all this in one package?!
PS. My card was charged overnight, shipping seems imminent!

Any shipping info for you yet?
Another day, nothing for me. Now it's the weekend. Fantastic work Alcatel.
