Several pages back, a poster showed the N7 they just received today that they ordered on 8/15 and selected 2 day shipping, just like I did on 8/2. My initial post on the matter said how awesome that felt to see that, and your reply was 'people may not like it, but it's the way it is'.
I'm asserting that indeed they should have ensured those who ordered early received them early- it would have been the right thing to do.
I think if I heard about someone getting their phone a day earlier than me when they ordered it 13 days after me, I'd be disapointed too.
I expect I will enjoy mine... tomorrow;-) ?
