The biggest reason people are upset is the complete lack of authoritative answer from Sprint.
When we first placed our pre-order we got a status that said "your shiny new phone is in our warehouse waiting to be shipped to you", then that it would "ship on 5/15", then to "your device is back ordered", then to "The launch date for this handset will be announced in the next few days, thank you for your patience. Delivery should occur within 1 to 3 business days thereafter.", then to "working to have shipments begin arriving on May 18th" (the genesis of this thread), then to "Delivery will begin within 1 to 3 business days starting May 18th", then finally to "We will do our best to get it to you before others get a glimpse on Friday, May 18".
Come on, they can't get their story straight!
You're right, we are not guaranteed early delivery, but in order to have phones on store shelves on 5/18, they would have to ship them at least by 5/16, they should be able to ship our pre-ordered phones at the same time. Sure, they may or maybe even a little earlier, but the status states they "will try their best" which means they know not all will ship and make by 5/18.
Oh well, three weeks from now (hopefully) we will all have the devices in our hands and have forgotten all about this...
