I appreciate the response...I knew about the pre order timelines, which btw
have changed as well. They're now saying that if you pre ordered early,
you'll actually receive the device on the 11th, so you'll have it on the
actual release date. I knew I didn't order early enough for that, but I
expected mine to ship the next day,esp once the order was accepted by t
mobile, my card charged,etc. I would've been happy getting it in the next
2-4 business days, which obviously won't happen since it would've had to
ship already by ups ground. At least we should've been told that they're
actually backordered, so we could check other venues or at least know what
to expect.
