I've just received an email to tell me the phone is out of stock and delivery will be 2-4 weeks!
I think that seems to be a stock mail that goes out after a pre-order,
i had the same, they did the same thing with the launch of the original nexus.
i called Vodafone to make sure that was the case and was assured that it was....still, you never know, the woman may have been lying to get me off the phone!
im gonna expect mine on the 19th but i wont be holding my breath just in case
I sent them an e-mail about not receiving my credit check response and they replied saying it was not in stock but the credit check was fine.
As long as i have it by Thursday i'll be happy.
I've had a reply back from VodafoneUK on Twitter..
We haven't been made aware of any stock delays. If there is any further info on this i'll be sure to let you know ^SM

I was hoping it was just an automated response as technically they don't have any in stock!

Yeah when I ordered mine they told me it would basically go straight out as it arrived to them so they will be 'out of stock' for a while, or at least until preorders are filled.
Yes, I got the "2-4 weeks" e-mail too but assumed it's just a generic e-mail.
When I spoke to Vodafone yesterday before placing my order, I asked if they had sold out of all their initial pre-order allocation. They said no, and that I would definitely get my phone on the 19th May.
My desire was out of stock when I pre ordered. Had to wait 2wks. Hope u guys get yours so u can tell us what you think.
I just sent a tweet to Vodafone uk asking if the Sensation was still on schedule for the 19th. They replied saying, 'yes, you will receive a dispatch email soon ^ER'. Sounds promising.

No, i shall hopefully be burning to the store on Thursday
Am collecting from store too. Hopefully this week
Peeps who ordered online usually get screwed when it comes to delivery time as it's like a different sales division. Typically online team have so many phones to sell, but the telephone team also get so many phones to sell and the high street shops have so many. They WON'T dip into one another stock levels.
I got stung when pre-ordering the HD2 early on, only to find, people ringing customer services on the day of release were receiving their phone the very next day. Infuriated, I cancelled my online order, as I got a sorry we are out of stock email. And re-ordered by telephone. Was a bit of a ball-ache doing this on the phone, as you had to speak to different sales teams on the phone.
My advice is to keep ringing the telephone team and when they say they have stock, get it ordered.
I'm going after work on Thursday, hopefully make it before it closes at 17:30!
I managed to pre-order mine over the phone, only had the confirmation to say that my order had been processed! Hoping to get the dispatch email tomorrow! Last exam tomorrow, so I can play with my new toy on Thursday

No, getting mine from shop too.
I thought I would have had an email by now as I thought it was going to take a day or 2 from email to me getting hold of it...and they said I would get it *by* the 19th
I think I'm going to wait until it's out in the Netherlands to see if the rumour of 16GB internal memory is correct. I'm highly sceptical but you never know.
Hi All
I didn't see any Walmart pre-order threads and I personally couldn't resist the $168 price and pre-ordered for three lines. I was told on the phone after I ordered that they expect it to be around May 1st before it ships. Anyone have additional info?
Am I really the only one?
I pre-ordered from walmart and only am guessing about when it might show up.

It was $168 with no tax and free shipping, but it looks like they have already raised it to $198 now.
I preordwred from Walmart as well but my line isn't eligible for upgrade until May 7. I tried moving it up but att will only do early upgrade if I buy from them

no tax on mine either, im in fl. That's one of the reasons i may stick it out and wait instead of running to the store.. because with tax included I'm saving $45 not $30 off the at&t price

Pre-ordered from Walmart here in California ($168). My buddy runs the wireless part of walmart, and says the phones will be there on the 26th (confirmed). I however can't pick mine up until the 1st (Upgrade date)
NO taxes? For real?

I will be patient. I will be patient. I will be patient!
Have to tell myself this every few hours. Especially as I'm reading the posts on here. I'm left wondering if people are being too hard on the phone or it's really that much of a disappointment. I know a lot has to do with preference but two things that bother me about Samsung's direction is general this time around is the locked bootloader and the bloatware added by them (not AT&T - that's expected).
C'mon Walmart, put one in my hand so I can find out for myself.
Edit:
Tried doing a chat with a rep. Seems like they still have 4/27 as the launch date. He couldn't assure anything though:
Please wait while we find an agent to assist you....
You have been connected to Mahender .
Mahender : Hi Hamzer, Thank you for contacting our chat support team of Walmart Wireless, I'll be glad to help you Save Money and Live Better.
Mahender : Could you please verify the last four digits of your SSN?
Hamzer 11: ####
Hamzer 11: Did you get that SSN?
Mahender : Thank you for the verification.
Mahender : Please allow me 3 minutes to review the order.
Hamzer 11: ok
Mahender : Thanks.
Mahender : I appreciate your patience. Please allow me 3 more minutes to review the order.
Hamzer 11: no problem
Mahender : Thank you.
Mahender : Thank you for your patience..
Mahender : I can see that the official launch date for the Samsung Galaxy S 4 Black Mist is 4/27/2013.
Mahender : Once it becomes available in our stock, we will process the order further.
Hamzer 11: Are you able to verify that the inventory will be available for the 27th, tomorrow?
Mahender : I totally understand you.
Mahender : However, I would not be able to provide any assurance on it.
Mahender : You can contact us back tomorrow and check the order status.
Mahender : You will be notified via e-mail with the shipper's tracking number once the package leaves our distribution center. You can track your package with shipper's tracking number by visiting the website www.fedex.com/US.
Mahender : Is there anything else I can do for you today?
Hamzer 11: No that's it. Thanks

OK so after posting a few #summershots on weekend. I didn't hear anything. Was in the process of emailing someone about buying his Chinese version. Then literally 10mins ago none other then my god damn oneplus one invite comes flying along via email. After jumping for joy for waiting a lonnng time. I realise s*** I haven't got paid yet. Now I'm in the UK. I get paid 28th invite expires I'm guessing 27th at 2200. How do you pay through checkout. Is it bank account details PayPal what. Only thing is I don't wanna pay for it and go overdrawn you get me. Lol. I'm feeling excitement and disappointment ATM. Help through this process from anyone would be welcome thanks.

You have 24 hours to take your invite and then 24 more hours to buy the phone so you cabn wait a bit, make your counts.
If you can't wait, just get some money laid by a friend and give them back later :good::laugh:

OK that's an idea so in theory I have 48 hours then. So I have 24 hrs to claim and then 24 hours after claiming to pay.
You pay through paypal. If you connected your bank account to paypal you can use that or add your credit card to paypal(which is probably the easiest).

You based in UK? If so how long did it take you to get it? Did you unlock boot loader and root straight away? Haven't read any of the guides yet but I'm presuming its easy enough?

Just boot in the Download Mod and connect your phone with the pc. The just press one button and thats it so its very easy
According to their Sunday Newspaper add.
That would be the 11th. Why does that sound familiar? I think I kept hearing the 11th in the UK and the 18th in the US. Something like that.
If that's true, I hope I get my pre-order by the 9th or 10th.
EDIT: Just checked my local Best Buy ad here in Kansas City, same thing, available 11/11/16.

Luckily I don't care about the 4G version, Doesn't look like Sprint is going to carry it.
Had mobile data with my Gear S but ended up cancelling it. Never used it. Was just throwing away $10.

Yeah i really can't front the $400 cause of said holidays and b-days, but I want a smartwatch so I will take the hit and consider it an interest payment. I may cancel it later if I can tho.
At least for tmobile I think I read somewhere that it was only $5/mo, if thats the case then no biggie since i have returned the note 7 thus saving me $32.50/mo and just sticking with my note 4. I also have a second s7e not being used (for backup) that i may swap too later for samsung pay.

Anybody taking bets on if this will really happen?
I say very doubtful...
Was out and about this morning, so I stopped by Best Buy.
Just as I thought, no go. Said the Samsung rep told them that there were very limited supplies and that this store didn't get any. Hmmm... They couldn't find ANY stores that did. They were just feeding me BS because they screwed up their ad.
My guess is next Friday just like Samsung has been saying all along. Hopefully pre-orders ship a day or two ahead of that.
They did offer to let me pre-order it though... Already did that long ago.
What's the chance for us early adopter to get a refund? Or are we Sol?
The facebook post says early adopters get a 200 dlls coupon. That could bring the cost of the phone to 300!
They better release the dock before then. =/
Pretty miffed about this.

While it's nice for them to offer this to us early adopters, it really doesn't benfit us unless they release the dock or other accessories by Dec 15th.
Well, my wife is really enjoying her phone... May pick up a white one for 299 with the code...I think that it's a great value at that price...
Oh, great idea, the white one is a nice idea... lol
Still waiting on them to release the gray and green version. Already have the phone so I am waiting for the dock and or smart home hub. It's nice that they at least gave us early adopters a bone. But without new accessories it really is a waste for us. They have dropped the ball before, so hoping they don't do it again. :/ They have allot of potential I just hope they get there. Also hopefully the lower price leads to more developers jumping in on the device and helping to get the developer section in this community going.
Oh, to have one of those codes. Id then go out on a limb and buy one of these great looking phones.
So tempted, but just not enough at $500.
bought off ebay
I literally bought and paid for a phone off ebay saturday night. the seller shipped it and said he would not work on price.
I want to be able to get a coupon but i'm afraid that "someone" will have already claimed it or essential will not honor it.... If anyone is in same situation, please let me know if you were able to get the coupon.
Thanks!

I did not. the seller had the phone until this morning. i asked for the IMEI and he said i would get it when it comes in the mail. so basically can't make the request until i get the imei. i have sneaky suspicion that he may have claimed.... he knew all about the promotion when i sent him a message.
I am just going to get another phone.
I don't think I'm going to bother with the charging pad if they release it in time seeing I keep the phone in a case anyway.
Sent out the info for my credit to Essential, and called Best Buy this morning and got them to price match the new price since I was within my return window (the credit has already shown up on my card).
So I got $200 back from Best Buy and will get $200 credit from Essential. Sweet.

How did you get them to do that? I haven't bought one, but if I can get them to knock another $200 off the 499, that'd be dope!

No, I originally bought it for $699. Got best buy to price match it back to $499 after the price drop.
