Shipping date speculation

How can people possibly be calling this release a flop? They said mid-July, and it will be mid-July. Why do people always assume that if it doesn't get released on the EARLIEST possible LEAKED date then something is wrong?

If by the end of next week it still hasn't shipped, then we can start questioning them, but until then we should consider it still On-Time.

we're living in the entitlement generation.
what did you expect? it's sickening.

You think it' s a successful release when no one from Google to the retailers to the consumers has any clue what is going on? Retailers have their hands on product and have no idea when they're supposed to sell it. How is that a great release?

wtf does that matter?
they owe NO ONE any explanation. if we weren't living in the digital era, you wouldn't even know that stores received it.
it is not even mid-July yet.

and if it goes past mid July and you still haven't received it, feel free to take your money elsewhere if you are that mad at google.

If you order the case with the 16GB model, it can put you over the $300 mark. What is the $12 number you quote though? I've got $13.99 for shipping and $19.88 for taxes for myself.

Yes, it's a 16 gb + case.

I ordered w/o a case, cancelled and reordered with a case.

Now I found a nice leather case, which should be here tomorrow.
