Ordered 32gb Nexus 5x on 10/2, free shipping estimated delivery 10/28.
Ok so the initial pre-auth charge dropped off last week sometime and then my order went pending Friday. I checked my debit card online and bam... There is a... ? Pre-auth CREDIT to my account for the full price? Now understand that this actually caused my available (usable) balance to exceed what my actual balance is by hundreds of dollars. I immediately had the urge to empty my account, run, change my identity... But let's face it... I want that phone, and this would not solve my current dilemma. I have continued to monitor my account and then again today bam there is another credit to my account, this time for the amount of the Speck case I ordered. Again I see it as pending (no change in ship date) and my available account balance goes up.. So, I dunno what any off this means but I am gonna let it play out however destiny so chooses. I have a feeling since even though it is a credit it is showing as a pre-auth credit somehow and it will vanish into the abyss along with all previous pre-auths.
On a more salivating note... Mmm.. A reddit leak from a sprint worker shows an inter-company flyer/memo saying launch is 10/26 for the new nexiis on their network however they should expect calls for activation as early as 10/14. Yes I saw the flyer personally yet remain skeptical. Hope tells me that as previous rollouts have shipped a week or 2 ahead of projected estimates then we should begin seeing ship dates as soon as late next week. Factor in that review units are rumored to be shipping with the first wave of pre-orders so there is no stall period for consumers. Anyone important enough already received theirs. Trust me guys, I'm obsessed, I have delved into the far reaches of the multi-verse for any related info and my opinion is a collective evolution of statistical probabilities.. In short... I WANT IT NOW!
