Verizon: Galaxy Note 8 Pre-Order Thread

The local Verizon retail store that ordered my phone tells me that they now have it, but can't release it until their district manager authorizes it. They claim that they probably won't be able to release it to me until the 15th.

I might go to my local store to swap my wife's color later. I'll let you know the outcome if we go.

That's ridiculous
 
Mine was delivered an hour ago. I'm in shock, usually FedEx comes at the end of the day and they came first thing this morning. It really is a thing of beauty.
 
holy smokes Batman. I came to this thread to see if my wife's phone will actually be delivered today. fedex said it's on the truck for delivery. after reading everyone's post, great news!!!!
 
Mine never said "Out for delivery", but I have my grubby little hands on it now! So glad I got it delivered to work.

Got mine at like 9:20am EST this morning. I forgot how much work goes into getting your phone set back up to your preferences, apps, everything. I'm so happy with it so far!
 
This is officially the last picture I'll ever take with my Note5.
