thanks picked up one from carphone, theirs so many of them laying about anyway, as i dont think many umderstand the concept, of this remarkable phone.

Carphone staff when asked in 4 stores in the 'city' told me to go to there managers when I asked a couple of weeks ago. Two didn't have a clue, one said they would not be getting it and the last spoke to me in the angriest tone I could imagine to go away.

'ello
Chitterchatter.co.uk advertised in the Metro today about these phones. Phoned this morning and mine will be with me tomorrow. I've upgraded from a Touch Pro2 (t-mobile contract expired in Feb 11). £35 pm/18 month
It's unbranded so should have the 16Gb SD card. Only downer is that the warranty will be covered by Sony for 2 years and their customer service leaves much to be desired..
Looking forward to my first android phone, saw a dummy unit in Orange at the weekend, not that much bigger and a bit lighter than my TP2

The Official "I got my tracking confirmation!" thread

Well guys, the countdown to shipping is on with the most consistent "rumor" being that phones will start shipping on the 18th. With the 17th being the day AT&T usually launches high end phones alot of us are thinking we're gonna get our hands on it sooner than the official launch date of the 21st so if you get your tracking confirmation, post here with your place of purchase and eta.

You may have also posted this in the att section? Any reason for creating a new thread?

If they were shipping to have them delivered on or before the 17th they would have shipped this afternoon with delivery on Friday. Doesn't look like that's happening. My guess would be shipping on Monday afternoon the 18th with delivery on the 20th.

Which is why I created this thread. With so much info floating around out there as to when shipping will commence, this will give us a central location to let it be known who's shipping, when and when it's to be expected.

For Sprint I'm guessing Monday shipping with Tuesday latest Wednesday arrival. Sprint seems to exclusively overnight their packages but without the Saturday delivery option.

You said pre-ordered, you mean on the website? Those are not shipping out yet. The only people who have them are the people who backed the Kickstarter last year.
If I'm reading this right and you pre-ordered it on there website (or affiliate like Amazon), it doesn't ship until June 25th, which means you should get it sometime between June 28rh and .July 5th (give or take).
Hope this helps!

Yeah, they pushed it back to June due to manufacturing times being longer than expected. Being such a brand new company, the fact that they are not only shipping out the product with only a few months delay AND the product is really good (personal opinion) shows a lot. I would support this company in any further projects they do.

I got this email from OUYA on the 8th of June.
"Yep... it’s true.
Your OUYA has arrived at our distribution center and we expect it to land on your doorstep within the next two weeks (give or take a day or two depending on your location).
Be on the lookout for a confirmation email that will follow once your shipment has been picked up for delivery and which will include your personalized tracking number."
I still have not received my confirmation email or any kind of tracking number, but it should be here around the 22nd according to the email.

I preordered February 5th which was the last day to get "an April shipment". However, they sent me an email 8 days ago saying its on it way and I'd get the tracking number shortly, but havent gotten one yet.
I would sure hope all preorders are filled before retail.

Eeeek. I'm beginning to think even the June 25th launch may be in trouble. Unless they're basically pushing all the units to the retail channels and making the pre-orders/Kickstarters wait, since we have already paid - the "screw those guys" mentality.

I was not a Kickstarter backer, but just a pre-order customer. I ordered mine in late January or early Feb. Just got my tracking number today. It says it will be here between June 20th and July 10th. I will let you know when I get mine.
Sorry to hear about the people who ordered earlier than me, and have not received any information. I emailed them in early May about the April ship date, and it took about a week for them to respond saying that they had my order, and I was not forgotten. I thought they had forgotten about me too.

Ya I was a early kickstarter backer and I think they sent a bum tracking number a while ago and that doesn't even include the extra controllers. They really suck at supply chain management.

Kickstarter backer here 2.
I received my tracking number on the 10th this month. 10 days ago. Needless to say that I am still waiting.
As far as I am concerned the whole Kickstarter idea was good. Bad management however forced them to stockpile wholesale orders before Kickstarter backers all had their OUYA. Backers could have accepted, grumbling, any delays as long as they were supported by proper communications. Sadly OUYA's communication skills are even worse then their management skills. And from what I read, their programming leaves a lot to be desired as well.
This was my first Kickstarter project that I backed, and I am very disappointed by how this is all working out.

Hey guys. Pre ordered in May and still nothing.
They posted a blog entry yesterday which stated "T-5 Days To Launch". So some of us will probably have to wait 4 more days until shipping.

I've cancelled my order, I'm going to buy on the day of release.
I pre ordered in January and never heard anything from them. I E-mailed them 2 weeks ago and they replied back after 10 days stating they had trouble verifying my shipping address, so I wouldn't receive it until after release day.
The ouya support is a massive turn off. It feels like the setup is being run from a teenagers garden shed with a couple of friends helping out when they finish their paper round.
Are these people meant to be professionals in their field?!
I wonder how long until I receive my refund...

I was a day or two away from trying to cancel my order when I got the email saying that my order was at the warehouse ready to be shipped. I keep trying to track it, but it still has not shown up on the dhl site yet. The email said writing 24-48- hours it would be trackable, but it is still not there yet, even after 72 hours. Hopefully it comes soon, won't be much of a pre order if it comes after it is available in stores.
Very bad customer service on their part.

same here. now i can spend the extra 50$ on tegra enhanced games or something on steam!

I am not sure why but Nvidia already took their money from my credit card. could this mean that they are going to ship early for us. I hope so cuz it turned out to be a large sum of money when taking into account the exchange rates and the tax from nvidia.com
Edit: nividia just replied to me support request and it was a credit hold of the money and that some banks don't show any difference between the hold and actual payment.

My American Express shows a pending charge to Digital River Pacific for $361.99. This is a hold, which can be placed months in advance of shipping, to confirm that the card has sufficient funds available at the time of processing the shipping. Best Buy does this with my preorders. It means that they are gearing up to ship, but the actual, and correct charge will happen when it ships.

Yes. I am hoping mine gets to my store because none showed up in saturdays shipment and it did not appear that any were on the way for tuesdays. (I did not have it pre-ordered until yesterday so that could be my fault)

Preordered mine around the 15th and got a email stating that they won't charge my card til it ships and will charge the new price. Well on the 21st a charge was done to my card for the old price. Does this mean it is shipping and what about the new lower price?

The same thing happened with me and they said that it is just a credit hold to make sure that each card is good for it. However i think the price your talking about is with tax. I think nividia. Com took around 30$ tax which just hurt
Sent from my GT-N8000 using xda app-developers app

It was the old price and tax for a total of $399.34 when the email said it was going to only charge $349.34. And it was not a hold it was a full charge out of my account.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

My American Express card still shows the original price as a "Pending Charge," which indicates that the charge has not been confirmed for processing by Nvidia, and is, rather, a preliminary hold to confirm that the card is correct and that the available balance is sufficient.
It's possible that those of you who show a charge either are using debit cards or card companies that don't distinguish between pending charges and processed charges.
On a similar topic... does anyone know if Nvidia is going to ship our pre-orders early, so that they arrive on/about the 27th, or will they ship on the 27th and we will receive them sometime next week?

well bad news via gamestop today the manager showed me a email they received "shield has been delayed from the 27th to an unknown date ie they don't know when hell they will get it" that pretty much sums it up another guy over at nvidia forums posted the same thing , kinda ticks me off

I preordered mine directly from Nvidia and it shows credit card pending. I ordered next day evening so we will see when we get it.
Very excited about this product. I even went out and bought a brand new gaming PC with 3 monitors for fun.
Cannot wait to see Borderlands 2 streamed to it haha. Epic!

Nvidia says it won't ship this month
We know you’ve been looking forward to receiving your NVIDIA® SHIELD™. And we’re eager to get it into your hands.
But we won’t do that until it’s fully up to the exacting standards that NVIDIA’s known for. And some final quality-assurance testing has just turned up a mechanical issue that we’re not happy with.
So, while we announced last week that SHIELD will ship this Thursday, we’ve taken the hard decision to delay shipping until next month.
The issue relates to a third-party mechanical component, and we’re working around the clock with the supplier to get it up to our expectations.
We apologize for the delay and thank you for your patience. But we want every SHIELD to be just right.
We’ll let you know when we have an exact shipping date in July. We think it will be worth the wait.

I gave them a call on Monday before I placed a pre-order. According to the guy on the phone, they'll place a hold for the amount with the credit card. The money will only be deducted once the item has been shipped out.

They are sending packages today for shipping tomorrow in UK. Tomorrow will send packaes to international customer, shipping in 1/5 days depending the country you live.
I hope I can get it on Friday to test it this weekend (I'm Spanish).
