First of all, I want to say that I really feel for all the people dealing with order fulfillment frustrations. I genuinely feel bad that my experience has been relatively smooth.
That said, for those keeping track, my unit just arrived at my office. I'm very busy this afternoon, so haven't had time to do much but give it a once-over, and I don't have a nano-SIM for it yet. Still, I did start it up and do some basic set-up via WiFi. The out-of-the-box system update worked, for those who are interested. I checked the chassis: no bulges, not pits or chips or scratches or anything like that. And, while the Frost feels different than other metal body phones I've held, I really like it and think it looks sleek and unique. The phone looks much bigger than my LG G2, but in the hand it feels great! The only negative at all at this point is that, I'm so used to the power button and volume rocker being on the back, I'm constantly hitting them on the side of the phone by just holding the damn thing.

Next, have to test the Bluetooth connection with my car, headphone volume, WiFi, and other issues people have commented on.
Anyway, I really hope Google gets their arses in order and everyone else gets their phones very soon!
