Ordering from Amazon??

[maverick96]

I see on Amazon it says ships within 1-2 months but I also see people posting reviews on Amazon almost daily. Is that delay in shipping accurate?

I would assume the reviews you're seeing are from those who ordered when they actually had phones. I have found Amazon's stock numbers to be accurate.

Or from people reviewing without a phone and going off of initial impression videos. I saw reviews on Amazon on the Note 8 way before it was released (granted, most of those DID state that they were reviewing it without the phone being actually in their hands).

People have had success walking into sprint and buying it out right. It's the same phone you get from essential or Amazon. Just don't turn it one with a sprint sim card in it. Buy it open it and put your sim card in before you ever turn it on.

FWIW, black is back in stock on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B074BWGRKH/

They come and go, hence why you keep seeing new reviews from verified purchases.

I believe you can still leave a review even if you didn't buy it from Amazon as long as you're verified.

Would it still say "verified purchase" in that case? If so, that's a bad system.

I still trust my own reviews regardless. I've had good experiences with poorly rated items and bad experiences with highly rated items.

I meant as a verified reviewer.

I would say yes. In my experience with Amazon, their delivery dates/expected delivery dates are pretty accurate.
