Yes, my 128GB Graphite is scheduled to ship by Monday.
I'll believe it when I see it. I don't trust anything Google says about shipping anymore

Has ANYONE, ANYONE- received the Graphite 128gb model yet? Waiting on 2 of them, ordered day 1..
NOPE... ordered day 1 like you and no love yet. I think we're at the back of the bus!
My ETA is Nov 10th-12th so plenty of time. Def wish I was getting it earlier!
Next year it will be someone else distributing for Google. Google literally wants as little to do with the process outside of the software and design as possible.
They contract out Huawei and LG to make the device.... and then they contract Ingram Micro for the logistics and distribution. I am sure Google just dumped a file on Ingram Micro that said "Here is who ordered what...... Now you deal with it." and Ingram probably bid the lowest of all the people Google contacted to put in a bid.... so this is what you get out of it.... Not even sure how Ingram goes about this whole process.. Do they get a list from Google and order the phones from Huawei and LG? or does Google order the phones and drop ship them to Ingram Micro? or does Ingram order but with Google's check book????
I've worked in mass distribution and sales the last 15 years and I can't figure out how this mess works.

Huawei orders go straight to Processing. You may be looking at mid to late November.

I've been ordering apple products for years, been through every iPhone launch since the first and have never seen a launch de-boggle like this. Even the nexus 4 and 5 with the you have to log in on Wednesday thing or whatever it was seemed to be better than this. Honestly I've always gotten an iPhone on launch day, and have never even had a big issue issue with Google either when getting a nexus. This year with the iPhone 6s things we're easier than ever with the ordering reservations and than visiting the store and picking it up, and I can't help to think what the hell is Google doing here. My anticipation for the 6p is basically gone at this point.
As per Google... I have to wait 9 more days for my phone to ship? All while people who ordered so late in the game have gotten their phones already? I'm still baffled, every year it's someone else's fault except Google, it's Samsungs fault, LG's fault, Motorola's fault, how about its Googles fault and they just don't know how to get stuff done as well as Apple does..I hate to say it because I have enjoyed owning an iPhone and Android phone for some time now. But Google really seems to put its loyal customers last, all while Apple bends over backwards to make customers happy. I'm just so pissed that I have to wait almost another 2 weeks to maybe get this phone. That will put me at 45 days at that point? Ridiculous in my honest opinion.
I'm curious, what is so special about these cables, exactly? They look cool, not sure why they're special or needed though,
They are reasonably priced and the USB-A side is reversible, it can be plugged in either direction, sort of like the USB-C side.
Oh, so it's just a tiny bit more convenient. Interesting. Does Google sell cables by chance?
