I ordered mine 1 hour after launch on thursday morning, saturday night they send me an email saying its been backordered......awesome!!!
Apparently bestbuy has really dropped the ball with this launch, something I feared would happen, but was really hoping wouldn't....
I'm super happy for the people that got their nexus S, but personally really am missing the google store I ordered my nexus one at 4pm 3 days after launch, and by 1pm the following day had it in my hot little hands, free engraving and all.....
A quick browse of the bestbuy forums will validate my claims. Some people ordered their phone friday and received it saturday, while others are simply left waiting, there really seems to be no method to this madness....
Worst part is, the phone is still listed as IN STOCK with GUARANTEED CHRISTMAS DELIVERY on their website.....
EPIC FAIL best buy
I want my nexus s.....*sniffle*
Wow!!!
That is quick!
I won't order anything from Best Buy. They shoulda sold it on Google.com or Amazon.
Maybe they would have had more phones if they didnt start productions the week before release lol

Google.com didn't work well with Nexus One and Amazon is not a good choice either since they are online only. Yes yes, I know people can buy prepaid debit or whatever, but perhaps in Google's mind. Better to go with a store that can sell both in store and online rather than just online only.
Ordered it Saturday morning, and it is backordered. Also, I get an Access Denied when I go to http://www.bestbuy.com/ from Norway. If I use a proxy in the US, then I can browse the site.

it´s also denied from germany ... this is insane!!!
Ι think somehow they have blogged access from all european countries.
I get access denied from Greece too...
I think Someone made a strange deal, as we can buy Nexus S 400€ from BestBuy and from Carehouse (European citizens) must pay around 650€...
So i think somehow someone blogged access from european countries to stop us from ordering the Nexus S from America and to force us at least for some days to buy it from the European exclusive shop....
These are my thoughts....

Word. ****ing liberals over there.
I'm getting access denied from Hong Kong right now.....
I really hate how they say the google store failed....it was absolutely perfect for me. Super fast shipping, free engraving, no bestbuy bull****, no fake promises, no bait and switch, just a stellar ordering experience all around in my experience. Why couldn't they keep the google store open for online sales and distribute it to bestbuy stores so the numbtys can 'play with it before they buy it', and that way the nexus' core audience (people with more than half a brain) can still order it with ease direct from google.
I'm starting to wonder if I should place some of the blame here directly on google for making this terrible terrible decision to give bestbuy exclusive sales rights.....

I ordered one of my Thursday night, and UPS tracking claims it will be here Monday. Now, there must be some special priority for those who order in-store, because the clerk used something called "express lane". I thought it was just the name of their POS system. Evidentley, its really an express option.
Just contacted play store through their contact number ....
N4 availability(for ordering)- November 13 , 9:00 am PST
Super cited lol

Thanks. Might have to jump the gun on this. There's too many things I'm not thrilled about with the N4, but I guess it's understandable considering the ridiculously low price (relatively speaking...).
This may be the first time I refuse shipment though. That works right? Complete refund?
You'll have to be quick. 16GB version sold out in literally 5 minutes in the UK. Good luck!
P.S. tell Google to get off their arses and prod LG to make more. UK needs more stock!
Too bad I can't get it in Pakistan.
hopefully not as fast in the US as LTE is the big thing here and only TMO is sans LTE
Nexus 4 US
Google is now selling the nexus 4 in the US. Just ordered mine!
Not over here in Texas.
Tried to add it to my cart and it always says cart is empty :banghead:

I got a 16gb all the way to the final screen. Once I hit submit order the screen greyed out. Tried about 100 other times with no success. Very frustrating...
Yeah, what a waste. 1209EST, it is back to coming soon.
After many retries, I managed to get all the way to the end of Google Checkout. Had my shipping and billing info and had hit Accept and Buy to be greeted by "Your purchase will complete momentarily..." with a grayed out button.
Nothing happened, and eventually the phone got taken out of my cart.
Good thing I suppose. Was probably going to refuse shipment anyway.
16gb switched to IN STOCK just now

I ordered from handtec and I just checked my card, they have charged it which, according to their FAQs they only do when they ship the product. I do hope that is the case.

I hope ur right, I also ordered thru Handtec but paid with Amazon which they had to charge immediately.
Just checked my credit card, nothing taken for Handtec but Carphone Warehouse have taken my money (yes, I've been greedy and placed two orders to see which is dispatched first [emoji13])

I would not get too excited about that. My card was charged by Carphone Warehouse on the 23rd March!
I just spoke to a helpful gentleman over the phone from CPW. He confirmed that they do actually have stock in the warehouse but cannot release it until Sony give the OK of which there is no date...even more annoying if it is true as Sony are doing themselves no favours in holding back the release [emoji35]

Spoke to Vodafone twice today. First time this morning was told no stock has been received and Sony would update them later today so ask again tonight.
Just spoke to then and the woman was useless. Said she had to check if it's been shipped from the warehouse, even though I told her I just wanted an update on the delay and she said they have been doing since the 10th... Completely incompetent.
Expecting an argument on the legality of the contact now as I plan on canceling if they can't at least give me a simple purpose update on the status!

I'm truly amazed at the cluster this launch has turned out to be. I am still in awe at the way this is being handled by Sony and I'm a Sony customer. Wish all the best in getting resolution. I canceled pre-order and went with EBay. The device is worth the wait but supply chain at Sony should be chastised for not handling this better.
Sent from my D6503 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Am thinking that maybe the pre-orders with CPW are only relating to contract phones and that us sim free buyers may have to wait until the sim free launch in May as retailers always favour the contract sales as that where the money is.
I did ask a clueless person in Phones4U about the sim free model and he said they wouldn't be able to sell it sim free until 2 weeks after they get the phones in. He did also state that is would be around £700 sim free, so maybe take his comments with a pinch of salt.
Really hope I'm wrong
Ok , I pre-predered & PAID for my Z2 on the 26th February to give you some reference, My last email from Sony support said they would be dispatching from W/C 14/4/14,
However I have just been on the phone to Sony e-commerce Michael and his latest information on my Z2 is that they wont be dispatching until the end of April..:crying:
So take from that what you will as regards to your orders....

Normally disadvantages would be:
Compatility issues..... make sure you're getting the correct model for your region/network
The wait....... ummmmmmm, might actually be quicker
Fake........ Obviously you run this risk anywhere, but be more cautious when ordering from overseas
warranties, guarantees etc..... if they're valid it would cost loads to ship back if it needed repairs
think thats about it..... oh n customs

You wait until 3/4 for the website to go live. Also that reciept isn't going to help you fully. You still need the Mac Address. So either way you still have to wait for the phone.

Same! i feel like very few people go in a store just to preorder, ya know? If you're preordering a smartphone, you most likely have internet access, ergo, not getting a paper receipt
Yes they allow screenshots of the receipts. I did that last time with the Note 5 for the free Netflix.
On sprint you have to add the gear vr manually or purchased manually and the CS said it comes together as a package.

This. I just ordered two S7 Edges to get one half off and when I added the Gear VR it zeroed out. Only thought it would work for one VR but I decided to add another and still $0. It wasn't til I added the 3rd VR that the price went up.

I pre-ordered from Best Buy online, and it appears that the two free items are coming to me from Best Buy directly.
I received my phone and have to wait till the 4th. The Samsung offer website only allows me to input my email to be notified when it's up I guess.
Looks like I will be out of town the week the vr form is open and when the phone comes in from att. Do I need the phone or can I use the emailed receipt? If I need the phone will they keep allowing the orders to come in for the free vr till the end date since I will be out of town?

Just got my S7 Edge today and had the same experience trying to claim the perks. Nice to find this thread and that I am not alone in trying to figure this out.
Its always better to buy in a shop , mainly because you get to see the phone in real life , plus if there is something wrong with the phone you swap it on the spot , also shops have coupons to claim the free vr as well

Well if t-mobile gave us our pre-order phones in store 2 weeks before the official release date that would be great but we all know that's not happening.
Website is live to claim the VR. Just finished the process. Make sure to have a copy of receipt for final steps.

I attached my purchase confirmation email from T-Mobile. It has all of the information they should need, hopefully that works.
I just submitted as well. I printed my payment processing email from T-Mobile to a PDF file as my receipt and listed the date that they charged me as the date of purchase (transaction date as listed in the email) - it wasn't clear if they wanted the order date or the date that the purchase was actually processed so I went with the latter. Hopefully they spot both dates when they go to match it up.
I just completed my claim form as well.
I know someone is going to ask so you need 4 things to process the claim:
-Date of Purchase
-IMEI (In Settings>About Phone)
-Wi-Fi MAC ADDRESS (In Settings>About Phone)
-Photo of your Receipt (I sent a PDF of a email I got from t-mobile that says "Here's your Receipt" which includes the information they request on the receipt being, Qualifying Purchase or Lease, Date of Purchase or Lease within the purchase period, and the Name on the Receipt must match the name on the offer claim form.)

I talked to tmobile on their twitter help page and then called them. The rep told me on the phone I can keep the device if I like and when they get replacements in they will ship the replacement FIRST and then I can send them back my original Note 7. I ordered mine via the store so I have to deal with corporate. Tmobile help page told me the same thing I can keep my Note and simply swap it out but said I can have it shipped to the store too.
I hope this is the case and I can have it shipped to my house and simply send the old one back. The only store near me is always busy and their staff is a PITA to deal with.
I do have an S7 to use as a backup but hate the small screen and I don't want to get a refund then have to wait for that to be put back on the card.
I am watching the V20 too. I might be out next week BUT we know how the G5 has issues and turned into a major flop. I'd hate leaving the Note and it ends up the V20 is a POS phone and stuck with a worse phone.
I just called them, they said bring it back to the store for a full refund or a new phone. Replacements aren't even available yet , why can't people just be competent, not asking for a genius, just basic competency.

You mean the reps? I think Tmobile is being pretty straight forward, so far compared to the other carriers who are not even really sure what to do yet. Overall though I hate the reps especially the ones in the stores. Most are clueless. The store basically says if you ordered it you have to go through Tmobile and the store won't issue a refund.
What problems did the G5 have?

I hear battery life and the modules some were reporting they become loose over time and durability issues too I've seen people talk about. Overall a crap device that was hyped a lot before launch. I don't want to get a v20 and it has issues and is a crap phone. At least with the Note I know what I'm getting.

The V20 is gonna be a monster. I actually owned the V10 and it was a power house. Very durable. V20 would be the only reason for me leaving Note 7

From a business perspective, this is not the result of incompetence. They know that trial lawyers are waiting around for the first Note 7 from T-Mobile to burn so they can hit them (and Samsung) with a class-action lawsuit. If that happens, the cost to T-Mobile will be huge, so they are trying to get the Note 7s back ASAP, even though they aren't ready for it. This is a totally unexpected event. They didn't stockpile alternate phones in the last few weeks in preparation for a bunch of people trading back their brand-new Note 7s.
They should allow a pre order replacement so not everyone is calling them or everyone going to the store at once when the new phones are available. It's gonna get chaotic.

Thing is there is no official time line of events. Who knows how the failure works and when, not saying most will be affected but saying it hasnt happened yet isnt really concrete proof it wont ever happen.
Like the ring of death on the Xbox 360.
Also no phone should explode if you are using a different charger. Thats again a failure of the manufacturer

I posted a similar post yesterday, I've seen it with HTC and Samsung where a few months into sales of a phone they seem to silently switch manufacturing to another vendor or use cheaper parts I guess to improve profits.....so my thought is now with this whole recall and it's cost to the bottom line will Samsung (A) Keep everything quality wise the same and take the full hit? or (B) Save every penny they can short of the battery pack? (i.e cheaper made camera parts from cheaper vendor etc)
You know someone on the boards the other day brought up a good point.
If the CPSC gets involved with this (as of now they are NOT) it will be illegal to sell a note 7 that has been recalled. So if you were going to sell your faulty Note 7 on ebay or something
it would be illegal.
So i would def get a replacement if you are planning to sell down the road.
My wife and I will trade ours in when they get the replacements in stock. We're not going to trade it in just quite yet.
its my understanding that T Mobile US might not be affected by the recall at all, and we all might not wind up needing new phones.
