I am in Indiana, i got mine at a Best Buy. I preordered about a week after preorders went live and mine was there and available on launch day. I spoke to my buddy who works in the Samsung Experience section of the store and he said i was rather lucky. They only got enough for 7 out of their 40 preorders, and somehow one was mine. I talked to him again yesterday and he said they were expecting the rest of their preorder units today or tomorrow, but he still doesnt think they will get any extra to sell yet.

I got mine. Chicago area.

The wife and I each picked up ours Friday afternoon from Lafayette, LA Best Buy!!

I got mine on Friday from my preorder placed in September. Looked at the website and saw they had a white one available tonight so we got that for my wife.

I did get mine from BestBuy and it was preordered back on the 17th release day for at&t.

Pre-ordered mine on the 4th, and got it about 5pm on the 17th. Local store had at least 2 deliveries that day. It wasn't there when the store opened @10AM, but they did get it at about 4PM. Store is located in Sacramento, Ca.

i was at a best buy looking to pick one up on Sunday and was talking to one of the reps and he told me that they had none in stock and it was harder to get than the iPhone 6. I kind of looked at him and laughed. This was on the south side of Chicago but he kept saying you can pre order it and I was like um id rather just leave the store with one than a receipt and no new toy.

I tried to get one today. They were out of stock and when I tried to pre-order, they said I could only order black??? I wanted the white so I left and I'm planning to go back tomorrow and talk to someone else and they're supposed to get more stock in.

preorder it in black to get the $200 off before it expires, when they get their stock in exchange your black version for a white, you have 14 days after you pick it up to exchange them no questions asked. this will not cause any problems, this is also the way im doing it.

That's a good idea. I'm waiting on my black pre-order to arrive. I tried to preorder the white, but it wasn't available anymore. I hope mine arrives in their shipment tomorrow.

Nah, cuz you're just doing an even exchange for the same device. You'd be charged a restocking fee (possibly) if you were returning it and not getting another device.

I preordered mine and it still hasn't come in. I ordered the Black one. I went over to AT&T on release day and got one.

I Pre Ordered mine from Best Buy and got it on the 18th. Although I must disclose that my wife works for Best Buy. That prolly helped....

I pre-ordered on 10/5. My white Note 4 was waiting for me on 10/17 when my local store opened. I'm in the Nashville TN area.

I've had my phone on pre order for awhile and still haven't received it yet, it's frustrating to wait for something that everyone who already pre purchased should've already had it.

Picked mine up Friday afternoon no issue.

Just called my local best buy and the girl tells me they have been getting batches shipped almost everyday from Samsung. I pre ordered my black Att note 4 week before release. Playing the waiting game for now hoping it doesn't turn into weeks of waiting.

Optimus G shipping today from Att?

I pre-ordered my on the 16th, well last week I noticed on Att website, that order page for the Lg optimus G has in red that it says Orders are scheduled to ship on October 29, 2012. so I`m keeping my fingers cross that this actually happens today.

I know, its very questionable. I suspect our "pre order" inventories went to the local stores....I bet you that they simply didnt have a good handle on logistics b/c this is not an iphone launch, or a device manufacturer that gets major run. I am going to go to the local stores on fri, and i suspect they have it...ill just cancel my online order then...

If you're able to cancel your order sometimes you can get it in store depending on the circumstances. General rule of thumb is preorders aren't fulfilled by store inventory.

Oh =/ I had to order through online because in store wouldn't renew my contract at one year like they said they would. So I wouldn't be able to cancel and go in store and get the phone. I guess I just have to wait till they get more in real bummer.
last time I pre-ordered or ordered on line, my phone didn't show shipped until the day of. In fact, I had one that arrived at my doorstep before my status even changed. Not to say that will apply here, but I'll expect my phone to arrive tomorrow unless told otherwise.
yeah no Shipping email here either, still says preorder- processing, I think I will call today and find out, if they don`t know when it will ship I will just cancel my pre-order and go to the store, or I might say screw it and buy the Nexus 4, I don`t need LTE.
My mom just called about mine and they are back ordered bad. A lot of people preordered in hopes of getting a day or two early, which caused them to be short.

The phone is pretty awesome, but if these early hands on impressions of the Nexus 4 are to be believed, that might be even better. You can't go wrong with a quad core for $299-$349. I am seriously thinking about getting a N4

I thought about that, and I would just save my upgrade the next best thing that comes out, I guess I will see what Att has to say when they should get more in to ship out.
If you have data to spare N4 is pretty solid.

Best Buy Availability

I'm continuing this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1951870 here because it relates to the Sprint version.
Ok so here's what I was able to find out. The first store i called said that the phone was in the computer but not in stock could possibly come in tonights or Wednesdays shipment. The second store said that Sprint isn't going to release the phone till the 11th to which I replied they released it Thursday and she was like oh well that's weired. So I called the Reward Zone Premier Silver customer service and they weren't able to tell me exactly what I needed to know so I was transferred to .com support. This is what they said. The phone is available to order NOT PREORDER. Where it says "coming soon" that means it's coming soon in stores. When you add the phone to your cart you add all of your plan info and then pay for it. They said it ships in 5-7 days.
If this helps you please hit thanks!

mine said backordered too. i really wanted to keep it - 18mo no interest, $10 in bb rewards, and $88 credit on my account. but i cancelled it. i don't want to have to fight for the $150 price match on the retail price and picked one up a sprint today. they just got a new shipment in when i got there.
What about the 50 gift card towards purchase? Would I lose that if I ordered online? I have a white one that I bought at sprint, but hubby is waiting for his to use the gift card.

Called two Best Buy's this morning in the North Dallas area. Still not in the inventory system (don't know if their inventory system is national) - so none in stock at the store. They are taking pre-orders though.
Couldn't hazard a guess on which channel is actually faster.
i've called 15+ stores twice a day since the phone launched. the responses have been mixed, but over time the general consensus is now shifting to "it won't be available in store until Nov 11." i've pre-ordered it at a store, but in the meantime, i also bought one on their website. original delivery was 10/31-11/1, but just got updated to 11/8-11/19. if they start showing up in store before i get mine, i might just grab one there and cancel my online order. but i figure i've already missed launch day and have been waiting anyways, so what's a couple more days?
Called around to several stores today and wasn't able to find any phones or anyone who could tell me when it's going to released.

Talked to a Best Buy Mobile sales associate from a local store again today - this rep (taking it with a huge grain of salt) said that the carrier (Sprint) corporate stores would have a two week exclusive from launch. If true, that puts the date in line with the AT&T launch date: November 9th.
If I didn't have all those Best Buy gift cards from my Photon trade-in - I would've gone to the corporate store by now.

I'm guessing that the date they gave you is probably right or in the ballpark. I've heard from several stores that it won't be out till the 11th.

That's normal. Google only gives you a couple hours before they won't let you cancel it anymore. I had the same problem during the n4 debacle last Nov. They are just gonna tell you to turn the box away at the door when it gets delivered.

Im trying to decide if I should get the nexus 7 on black Friday from best buy. I have $50 certificate and the wifi is only $229. So its very tempting.
But Im hoping for a new 10" model with lte.

Staple has coupon code that works the same, just bought one for myself. Go to staple and use coupon code "18702", works for any tablet over $149. Not sure how long it will last but you can always return it later.
You can get that price any day at best buy. Why in the world would you go in on black Friday.

Well I work at Best Buy and can tell you it's not a black friday deal (they have had the ad on the website for a few weeks now) Cyber Monday I don't know. They were selling the 16 gb for $199 last week but the sale was only a day or two. Best Buy does price match pretty much anywhere so if you see any for cheaper online bring in the ad and they'll price match it.
If you have a $50 gift card to go towards it, its definitely worth the extra few bucks to get double the memory. My 2 cents anyways. Good luck with your purchase!
Nexus 10 is sexy though so may be worth the wait!
EDIT* After Re-Reading what I wrote, I don't want you to think this was a shameless best buy plug, he mentioned he had a $50 gift card there so I figured that's where he would want to purchase it! Thought I would clear that up lol.

Once again "rumor" it was to be announced soon and be available for the holiday season.

I think it was a 1 day sale. I didn't even see it advertised. I only knew about it because our Google rep had told me in store. I will tell you that if you just buy one now that you should have until January 14th to do 1 price adjustment if they do lower it during that time since we're in the holiday season.

That's a whopping 8.6% discount. But it's still a savings of $30.
I went and got it for $349. Pist, but I got the $25 play credit. Im s till hopping for a price drop to see off they would honor it, from what the best buy guy said a few posts back.

I wasn't going to update my 7(especially after just getting a nexus 5). But then I saw googles free shipping offer +$25 store credit and seriously started considering it since my old nexus 7 felt so slow compared to my new phone.
Then I saw 32GB on sale at Nebraska Furniture Mart on black Friday for $225. At that point I decided with all the OT I've been putting in at work I deserved it.
While it doesn't compare to my phone in fluidity, speed and smoothness, it's definitely a nice upgrade from the old 7.

Slow Shipping?

Recently purchased a 360 with the coupon they were giving out on Monday and it still hasn't shipped yet. Was wondering if this is normal for them. I contacted customer service and they said they are still waiting for fed ex to pick it up, which I found a little odd.
I recently got a replacement and it shipped from China instead of from the US. Maybe it's the same for yours.
You are correct just found out it came from china. But now its stuck in Memphis because of customs. Really wish I could have used amazon for the coupon.

Yes, mine came through Alaska to Memphis, even though I'm in Dallas, and was stuck there for a few days for the same reason. Crazy!
Man that really sucks did you contact customer service when you found out? I did this morning and they said they would handle it so I hope that makes it go a little faster.

Hope you are right on that. Received noticed that it has shipped from China. Samsung website changed its expected delivery from the 16th to the 18th. FedEx still showing delivering on the 16th. We shall see. They must be making these things as they get orders on Motorola site? Ordered Monday, and it was Thursday before I got notice they were shipping
