Ok, still hadn't been charged this morning for my 16GB that I ordered on 7/6. Decided that I'd check at my local Sams this morning and sure enough they had 5 of them! (Sams 1 - Google Play 0)
However, I HAD to have them look up their stock by item number (there were no pull tags, so I was told several times that they didn't have any). So, if you go to Sams, USE THE ITEM NUMBER (793929) , otherwise they won't know what you are talking about. Oh, and their website doesn't reflect actual inventory.
Anyway, good luck to you guys and gals! I guess I'll be switching to another thread now.
