Woot! Order status changed!

While "Incredible" may describe the phone we are all waiting for I don't think the same adjective would be used to describe this pre-order process. Any suggestions?

torture

How do you set it to auto refresh? I'm using Firefox if that matters.

I know Firefox has an add-on for page refreshes but I don't know the name, I'm using Chrome and the extension is called page refresh

To be honest isn't it the obsession we all (myself included) have with tracking this thing that is the problem? The only thing the pre-order promised is that we would have it on launch day. Now i'm all clicky on the FedEx site because a phone might come a day early! Yippppee!! What the hell has gotten into us?!

They're testing us.. we all expected to have it April 29 delivered to our feet without dealing with store issues.. but then Verizon shipped early.. so we got excited.. Then FedEx trucks are saying they're out for delivery.. so we get even more excited.. but then FedEx pulls back the package and brings it back to their facility to hold it until April 28. sigh what a tease.

At least I *hope* to get it a day early tomorrow..

I will be the first to admit, I need a life. But, with that said, I hope my new phone will give me a life outside of work. See I travel a lot and my phone is basically my travelling home. It is my communication with the outside world, my alarm clock, my entertainment, etc... NOW GIVE ME MY PHONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[sum spicy rice]

I've been looking forward to this phone for days and weeks.. I've never owned a smartphone.. was originally gonna go with the new BlackBerry.. but saw how incredible the "Incredible" is.. and jumped ship.. I need a phone that can keep me entertained on my 1 & 1/2 hour commute via metro/subway.

Isn't this entertaining enough for you?

wooohooo, departed Memphis, hopefully tomorrow will be the day! (or at least I am going to keep telling myself that, but it says its no later than 7 tomorrow.

 

[drPheta]

I put in an order for two. One for me and the other for the girl. Free overnight shipping, and order was in before 4:30. I WANT MY PHONE!

entertaining.. no.
frustrating.. yes

you travel a lot for work.. and i travel a good distance to and from work.. these phones would make these trips so much better lol

i could be on social networks, email, message, watch videos.. sure would make my commute faster

I hate you even though I don't know you! J/K, but I do still hate Memphis!

If I knew the exact date that it would get delivered and had a shipping status that didn't stay stuck for days it would be more bearable.

The thing that makes it annoying is all the false starts, people who receive delivery notifications just to have it sent back, while some people get it delivered days early, and other people like me have the delivery status stuck in the origin city for days. If we have to arrange in advance to have someone receive the package, this stuff is not cool broseph.

If you have a delivery date of 4/28, I fully expect that you will get it tomorrow. Shipping 2 day is cheaper than overnight so I don't think Verizon will hold off on every ones order.

I would have suspected the same thing, but people who had a delivery date of 4/27 and "out for delivery" had it taken back with "not due for delivery". This makes it a little less certain, even though you are probably right.

(also, the fact that the status says it's still in Memphis right now doesn't make me any more confident.)

Maybe Verizon had a note not to deliver before the 28th and a few slip through the cracks and were pulled back

That's it I am putting my page refresh at every 5s on all of my computers (6) until I see it change.

I hope this is the case, and they didn't choose the 29th instead

 

[NVR2ND]

Yeah, mine says tomorrow by 7. bad news is that my business closes at 530. So it has to get from memphis to des moines, sorted, and out to me by 530.

The other side is that I pre-ordered at 1pm on the 19th. My store will be getting the inventory tomorrow at 3pm. Which means I could have just waited and got it from my own company. Although it would have cost more to do so :l
