US release date could be July 12th!

From another AC thread, ezzkmo was saying:
Someone needs to get an mp3 of the 800-number hold music so I can listen to it on my N7 when I receive it as I maniacally laugh myself to tears...
Well, I give you, NEXUS 7 HOLD MUSIC!
 
I have finally received my Nexus 7 8 gb unit. I pre-ordered on June 29th at 3p. So far I am amazed how fast the device is and I love the facial recognition screen unlock
 
Well, I'm heading out. Hopefully I get some sort of indication about my order by tomorrow.

______
Ordered on July 6, 9:20AM Pacific, 16GB, no case.
Still nothing. No email, credit charge/hold, play store update or wallet update. Nothing.
 
Just got my cc charge as well, 6/27 order 16gb w/case, no other emails or shipping notifications though. I registered the one that I picked up from Staples yesterday with my wife's account to be on the safe side, but I have been using it with my kindle/amazon account until mine comes in. :D
 
I case you didn't see this over at xda...

FINALLY!!, I just got an email from Google saying they wanted to update me on the status of my order. They said if you ordered before July 11th your tablet will ship THIS WEEK shipping overnight. If after the 11th it will ship next week with overnight shipping as well.
 
Not even that email, this is frustrating!

Just got the email with their explanation...still frustrating thought

Yeah I got that email as well. I was so happy because I thought it was my confirmation then my heart dropped when i realized it wasn't. Well at least they finally contacted us.
 
I guess the upgrade to overnight shipping is their compensation for this whole mess. Not enough in my opinion, but I'll take it! :p
 
A few months back my wife asked for a kindle fire, she loves it, she mainly uses it for books. About a month ago I decided I wanted a 7" tablet because it became annoying sharing her fire to read. I started researching online when I came across the Google IO. I ordered the N7 that day, 6/27/12. It finally came today! Only problem is my wife now hates her fire and wants a N7!!!
 
I received the email too (6/27 order date, 16gb with Cover.) But....Overnight shipping doesn't matter if it doesn't ship soon! Since my card was charged does that mean it shipped today and I'll receive it tommorrow?

I've since picked up the tablet at Staples - it's incredible. I'm waiting on my order for the case now and the extra Nexus 7 will go to someone else who wants one locally.
 
Have mine all hooked up, downloaded a few apps,then decided to visit this forum again. My N7 is great! Doesn't feel like a $250 tablet to me! M little bro I getting his tomorrow at staples because they are getting a shipment in there. Gonna get to test out beam tomorrow! So happy!:)
 
Finally got mine as well. When i saw the size of the box it came i thought to my self o no this seems to small. When i finally got it open and fired her up i couldn't be more pleased, everything is lightning fast. Chrome is stupid fast on this thing also which is great. So far so good!

The speed of this thing is stupid crazy. They sure nailed in with Project Butter. This thing is iPad fast (I guess that's what we have to compare it to).

Glad most people are getting theirs today and enjoying it!

I thought the same thing when I saw the box. But I love this thing!!
