Verizon Pre-order, Release date, and speculation thread

[Bloozman13]

Probably a silly question, but I am trying to ensure that I know exactly when this is shipped. The logical side of me is saying to relax and just wait until next week, but the "kid before Christmas" side of me is checking in here frequently and to hedge my bets checking my account to see if Verizon has taken the funds for the pre-order.

My question is this, will we finally be charged at the beginning of the shipping cycle or will that come closer to delivery? This is the first phone pre-order I have ever done so I was surprised that you aren't charged upfront and was wondering when in the process, they finally take my money.

Thanks!

As soon as scanned for shipment activity, you should be charged.

You will be charged the day or maybe even the day before the phone is shipped.

Red rover, red rover, send my damn phone right over!

Just be glad we didn't get the red color like AT&T, then what would you have done .

I know, I know! I would have bought the red and put the white back on it ! There, best of both worlds ! lol

My 4th of July plans: I will constantly check my order status. Sometimes I scroll left to right and copy and paste. Other times I scroll right to left. I am having a great time!!

I think he's the only one that didn't get it...........

What's not to get? The same joke has been told probably half a dozen times. Plenty of time to get the joke by now. Some people just have no sense of humor and will never get a joke no matter how many times it's told.

Things that make you go hmmmmmmmm...

Samsung Galaxy S3 Variants Received Last-Minute RAM Upgrade To House Android 4.1 Jelly Bean [REPORT] - International Business Times

So just like me you folks did not buy this? But it is from the International Business Times it must be accurate

What I read from this is two things:

1) Those poor folk with the Nexus running JB are running it improperly since they only have 1gb of ram. They must be limping along.

2) Those poor folk with the International S3 are Scr3w3d. They have been taken

PS... US Version of the S3 FTW!! We are going to have Dual Core 2GB JB goodness

I am taking the 4th off from checking my phone status. I figure that pretty much everyone is off tomorrow so the chance of anything significant happening is slim to none.

I will be back on Thursday in full force checking updates at the mercy of my phone-anxiety-created OCD.

/me devises a plan to release manufactured "tid-bits" later this evening thereby thwarting Bloozman13's plan

These "tid-bits" will be sooooo good that he will HAVE to check tomorrow just to see if they are even remotely true

And to Rush More "tis only a flesh wound"

I just called Verizon today, they said "You will be VERY happy with this phone". Heard it here first folks.

In Barney Stinson fashion, "Challenge accepted!"

Also, since Verizon was brought into this, here is my Python.

"One day lad, all this will be yours"

"What? The curtains."

On VZW how exactly do you check your status for our PO's?

this http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/orderstatus/OrderStatusForm

My white, 32gb says "Expected Ship Date: 07/09/2012" which I think puts me in day 1 of supposed ship dates of 9th, 10th, 11th we have seen.

Lock,

On your confirmation email you should notice a link near the top that allows you to track your order.

They told me we are all brittons and they are my king.

I never got an email. They sent me a text which I promptly deleted I had to call a week later and be like WTF? where is my transaction data... so I have it written down, no links.

Either way, the above link works.

Great, now I know this phone is a dog. Because we all know about the verizon representatives and how much they know.

Omg...Omg.... Next week at this time !!!! Oh wait, allow me to calm my nerves and stop drooling ! So, the question is, how obsessed would I appear to be if I took the day off work in order to insure the mastering of this device prior to resuming my normal boring work schedule.
I can see it now....
yes it's final.... No work for me
