I looked at everything I could and I just had to have this phone!! So I placed my pre order and was told I would have it in 3-5 days!!
I decided to pre-order as well, earlier. I just received a message stating it has already been shipped and will be here tomorrow. I didn't think they were going to be released until the 21st. Amazing.
What are you thinking? You're about to plunk down $800 for the privilege of taking notes on the screen with the phone off; syncing your files a little easier; and taking scrolling screenshots. You won't even use the livestream. You're going to lose tons of storage and a removable battery, as well as retire a perfectly good Note 4 DE. So tell me again, hot shot, why taking notes with the phone off is worth all that.
It's interesting that Verizon told me a pre-order would deliver to me on the 21st yet Sprint & AT&T seems to be shipping immediately with customers having their phones in hand as early as today. I've only been with Verizon a little over a year so not a lot of historywith them. Is this typical of them being behind the curve on getting new phones to customers?
YEP. Don't expect your preorder to arrive until the day of release... the day before if you're lucky.
I was at Verizon today to get a touchy-feely of the Note 5 and of course they didn't have it out and won't until release day next week. The drive back home gave the Little Chief on my left shoulder time to say:
And you know what? I'm listening. I walked into my house convinced to skip the Note 5. Maybe the Note 6 will fix things (I doubt it), but as prepared as I was to get this phone, I think I may just let this one go.
I have heard that about them before,.. but I am surprised that Sprint is ahead of the game this time!!It's interesting that Verizon told me a pre-order would deliver to me on the 21st yet Sprint & AT&T seems to be shipping immediately with customers having their phones in hand as early as today.

I ordered mine yesterday, got the shipping notice today and it'll be here on Tuesday. I'm with AT&TJust got my email saying it was shipped but won't arrive until Tuesday... that seems like forever!!!
I'm still waiting for the pink.. lol I don't know why they do that! If you make 4 colors... offer 4 colors!!!I placed a pre-order for a 32BG White Note and cancelled it. I just couldn't accept all the compromises. I have been waiting for the phone to be released for so long and anticipating it to come out in Gold and at minimum 64GB. Verizon currently isn't even offering the WHITE in 64GB, only the black. If they don't offer more color options in the 64GB variant, I will have to pass on the Note 5. I do, however, find it very hard to believe that they wouldn't release additional colors in the U.S. considering everyone holding the Note at the launch was holding a GOLD or SILVER Note 5. Not to mention, they did the same thing with the S6, made only Black and White available for pre-order and the gold came alonf later.
I went to a corporate store as well. If yours has it out then you get lucky
You got the dark blue?? Where are you located?I just ordered on from AT & T. 64Gb dark blue. Jumping back to Android after 10 months of iHell 6.
