According to the information on this screenshot and word of mouth from Best Buy employees, the Thunderbolt will be released on the 21st. From what I understand, if a product doesn't have a street date (see street date on pic), the product can be sold as soons as it arrives at the store.
Here's a link to the guy who works at Best Buy who provided the pic answering questions...

Edit: I know that it isn't an official date from Verizon and that things could change so there's no need to be a Buzz McKillington by pointing out the obvious about that.

Good to know, looks like i'm going to bestbuy this weekend.

That's a "in stock" date, I doubt they are going to release as soon as the receive them
Sent from my Incredible using XDA App

I work for Best Buy Mobile and as I have said, in stock date means nothing when it comes to when a product is being launched/sold.
Look for the 24.....

24th. No doubt.

Is anyone aware of what Verizon's price breakdown for the Tbolt will be?
I'm aware of the $749 full retail and $249 2/yr pricing from BestBuy but has any info slipped about big red'spredictions?

Was in Best Buy yesterday and spoke to the guy who got the incredible release date spot on before it's official announcement and we were going over the differences. When I spoke to him he pulled some paperwork that stated the 24th is the official street date. The computer system just states when they are going to arrive in store, not really a release date.

THe guy in that forum has also posted the ad from next week that goes out monday morning on the 21st. The thunderbolt is on there, so dont be surprised if BB is selling it on the 21st, no where it says the availability so it looks like it will sell on the 21st. otherwise it would have said the available date on the ad. If they dont do sell the phone, it will sure piss people off who go to the store after seeing the ad.

They can easily print up an ad-correction stating when it will arrive in store. I have a feeling this ad is just reflecting the original 14th date and is just saying "oh don't forget we have the new Thunderbolt"
ads are printed up months in advance, so i doubt BB would have had enough time to get a reprint issued before it was sent to all the news papers for distribution.
24th should be the date, we know it ships this week from HTC to Verizon as was tweeted by Peter Chou, i think the instock date is right and that they will start pre-ordering them at Verizon on that same day to ship on the 24th/on sale date.
if we go by the previous launch (droid incredible last year) the phone was announced the friday before, pre-orders started Monday around 1am EST, the phone shipped a day or two later and arrived a day earlier than the street date for most, and went on sale that Thursday (April 29th)

I work retail, and no ads are not printed monts in advance. Our ads go out a week in advance, and I work at frys. Yes ads are made atleast 2, 3 weeks in advance. They dont print until a week in advance. we dont throw anything on ad that we are not sure about and that will not be available, unless ofcourse they one store is out of stock for some reason. Unless ofcourse we put an availability date on the paper that says the item is available on such date.
If best buy puts it on ad going out on the 20th and doesn't say that the item will be available on the 24th then they will probably piss off a lot of customers, even if it being released on the 24th, you gotta put that on ad.

Ads for best buy are actually made typically two~three weeks in advance, and get to the store a week before it comes out approximately

I know this just adds to all the heresay on here but this is what i was told by BB today. First the normal (non-mobile) store said they had no idea when they would get it, and it showed up in the system as "disco" so that meant it got delayed again.
Then i went to the BB Mobile store and they said it would be available on the 24th, and they wil reserve one for 50 bucks. Then the guy proceeded to tell me how stupid i would be if i got it with the Bionic being announced and then pulled out a DX to tell me how awesome it was being rooted. I asked what all he could do with root and he said it is overclocked and has a custom start page. I said oh yeah, my Incredible has Gingerbread, ill stick with HTC for the dev support/non locked bootloader.

The rumor mill has been awfully quiet today...

Haha starting that stupid rumor again? I'm glad all the rumors stopped
Atleast we are all almost set in the right date... the 24th
Sent from my Incredible using XDA App

You work for Best Buy and you don't know the difference between in-stock date and street date?
Do you see to the left where it says "Street Date" and it's blank? That's where Best Buy documents the release date for a product. In-stock date just means when it's supposed to come into inventory.
Stores receive shipments on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays typically. I didn't even work in inventory to know that.
Anyway the confirmed release date is the 24th and the "delayed again" rumors are false. HTC CEO already stated he shipped out the phones. The only people crying "delay" are saying it because they might not get their shipments in time to launch on the 24th with the rest of the carriers.

I'm just saying what Bestbuy rep told me. He stated he's been calling people all morning. I don't know whether to believe him as there were only three other people on the waiting list when I signed up for preorder on Feb 14th. I've seen all the rumors on the web, I'm as excited as you are to get this phone, but Bestbuy really let my hopes down some... I hope It's out on 24th...

Guys this is a great phone but im just wondering.....if you take the 4g away from this phone its still a basic 2.2 Froyo Android phone.
There are no apps in the market that are special for this hone that another android phone can play.
What are you expecting from this phone besides looks and 4g? Or is the 4g enough?

Oh and the guy that leaked the inventory screen shot also leak the new sells paper for next week and it's in there as a "new" item with a price.

[Q] good idea to buy second hand?

it's out of stock everywhere and the only option now is second hand, should i go for it? my other option would to buy a ipad 2 16gb but i feel that won't be enough data for me and i am so used to android, anyone give me advice?

Uh... I would say, wait until they get some stock? Find a place that will restock? Import? Craigslist may also offer some new ones from people who bought at a discounted price.

i can't wait till they get stock, it could be up till a month before they come back (can you go a whole month without a tablet?) and the price would increase and i would miss out on the £50 cashback, i can't even buy second hand from cex they are all gone, its all because of christmas, bah humbug i say!
i will try the stores on the high street today but i've checked all their stock online, they are all gone, i think i will have no choice but to buy a ipad 2, its either that or go without a tablet for a whole month, i can't use a samsung galaxy S2 to browse the web e.t.c LOL screen is tiny and impossible to type with (using it now to type this post)

I would go without a tablet for a month. You want warranty for something like this. I had the opportunity to get a used but unopened note off craigslist for $75 less but I decided against it.
Sent from my GT-N8010 using Android Central Forums

i found one from the high street, it costs more at £355 but i am happy i have got one, i don't think i would have been happy with a ipad anyway.

Picked one up at tescos(York) yesterday for £318 and to quote the samsung guy 'there's load in stock'.... sure you tried everywhere?!
And for those that dont know you have to purchase up to and including the 31st December to be entitled to the £50 cashback.
EDIT: By the way, something else I also found out yesterday which could be relevant to you, is that Tescos website on purpose prevents you from checking stock of these items.

yeah i saw tesco direct website had the tablet for £318 but i heard such bad stories about their delivery i decided to pass on that and that is strange, why would they not let you check stock on online :S
i am going to claim my £50 cashback tomorrow, gotta setup the tablet tonight so tired too.

Oh sorry didn't see you managed to grab one! Annoyingly you cant start cashback claim process until 15 days after you buy it...probs to prevent you buying one claiming cash back and taking it back. But at the same time it has to be claimed before 60 days......probably in the hope you forget to claim!

Basically you're perfectly fine. if you look here:
http://www.samsung.com/uk/tab2cashback/tandc.html
At no. 2. You just have to claim before the 28th feb(or 60 days after purchase, whichever is sooner), but have to have BOUGHT it before the 31st December. And you have. so youll have no probs! Just make sure you claim before that 60 days expires.

Ehhhh. No sorry that's a bit much. Still amounts to 615€ which is overpriced.
I think I'll have to wait to get this device at reasonable price... (Still tempting)

Ahh yes, unfortunately not that good of a deal if you live outside of the US since the shipping is only FREE if you live here.
Still $150 cheaper than Negri Electronics, the only other place that is shipping them now....

This is how they make money by boosting the shipping cost. I live in China I know how much they pay the phone and I know how much it cost to ship a phone. I shipped a guitar for 40$ in Montreal from Shanghai so 99$ for a phone makes no sense.

They are local to me. I wonder how much if i picked it up and pay cash.
Will I get LTE on AT&T with this one?

Isnt it best to wait for a Korean version? Dont they support both lte and octa core?
I ordered a Korean phone before and it worked fine in the uk
Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk 2

If the Korean Version did have octacore and support LTE it would be worth waiting for, as long as it wasn't 3-4 months down the line anyway.

I was tempted to order one myself but wanted confirmation that it was the I9500 and not the Snapdragon 600 I9505. So I sent him a message early this morning. As yet - no reply !!!
This doesn't inspire confidence in buying from him even though he has a very good seller rating. Also, as you say I can only see 1 positive feedback from someone who has purchased an S4 - yet he has sold over 1000.
I was prepared to order this morning but not now. Especially after reading your message and not getting a reply to my earlier question, I'm not sure what to do.
I hope you get yours and at least you're covered by eBays Buyer Protection should anything go wrong !!! Keep us posted.

He replied to a message I sent on saturday today. All I can think is that he has so many messages he can't get through them all
I'm hoping it comes tomorrow if he holds up to his one buisness day claim

Thanks for the update.
I contacted someone who had left positive feedback for purchasing an S4. I asked whether it was a genuine Octa I9500, you never know with alot of online retailers simply copy/pasting specs, and he confirmed that it was.
He also mentioned that the packaging was in spanish/portugese or something so looks like these might have been destined for South America maybe.

I got this reply..
Dear Buyer,
Thank you for your order. We will email you the tracking details to your order once it is processed and shipped. We are working hard to get your order processed. Thank you for your understanding in this matter. Once your order is shipped you can follow the progress of your package online

Well, that sucks because you are paying $99 shipping for FedEx International Priority so even if they are really busy - they owe it to you to ship your order out in a timely fashion.
I have just placed my order - it's working out about the same as buying the Snapdragon 600 version here in the UK, as long you don't get it hit by Customs that is !!! Hopefully, I get by the weekend at the latest otherwise I won't be a happy bunny

Yeah i agree, still no notification of shipping!

For what it matters, I did in the end buy from this guy. It arrived today. It's a latin america destined 9500 with the Octa as advertised. The thing left the manufacturing line only about a week ago. No problems in terms of tracking or shipping (Intl is FedEx, inside of the FedEx box it was wrapped in a UPS wrapper). Btw: European users: it comes with a US-power adapter, so probably you should order a Note 2 charger to go with it (works flawlessly).

I ordered it Friday and it arrived yesterday (from across the globe!) but it missed the daily courier truck so I got it only today.
In the end it was worth it because my country apparently doesn't give a crap about adding VAT to inbound packets and didn't ask me to pay nothing in addition, so I actually paid no taxes at all on it, i.e. 537€. (Plus shipping)

Onda V919 Dual Boot .. who has it in stock ? Please Read ...

I have started this thread so people can post / reply to this thread when they find the Onda V919 Dual Boot in stock and ready to ship.
It looks like Chinese sellers are telling lies saying they have stock when they do not so you place an order with them.
I have spoken to Anna Fang from OKQI on Aliexpress today ( 19th Jan 2015 ) and she says no stock before 28th Jan 2015 but even then she is not sure stock will arrive.
If anyone finds a seller with this in stock ready to ship please post on this thread .. thank you

I just ordered directly from Onda... The dual boot 64gb version cost $252 including shipping and tax.
It did not state that it was a pre-order but it did not say when it would ship either. I paid via PayPal so hopefully I will have some protection.
Will keep you posted....

Hello,
I have ordered first on January 14th directly at Onda online shop, they couldn't provide a tracking number until Jan 22th so I claimed shipping via PayPal protection message.
I told them I don't want my money back(no refund), but I want my device shipped asap.
Directly after I have opened the PayPal dispute I received a message via mail directly from Onda, that my order is completed. And somehow in their web shop system there appeared a magical "refund"...
As answer to my PayPal dispute they told me they will provide tracking number in 2-3 days and that I should close the PayPal dispute.
I told them I will close the PayPal dispute as soon as I have received the tracking number.
A few hours after that Onda closed the dispute by themselves by giving me my money back, although I told them I do not want a refund/money back.
Now I placed a new order ... This throws me back in the waiting line, but with PayPal protection there should be no risk..... Let's wait and see, I have re-ordered on January 22th but didn't receive a tracking number for my second order yet.
Has anyone had more success?

Yes I already have seen this as his statement from Jan 16 is not really new, but cannot really believe what Onda writes there, as my order is still waiting to be processed and if you read the French text comment there I don't seem to be the only one...

Can't you just be honest to ALL your customers and tell them that you don't have it in stock by now, but that there is a preorder with estimated delivery date!?
It is frustrating if you tell all the possible customers on your website that you have stock and ready to send in 3-5 days, then people are ordering by PayPal and as soon as they see that Onda-tablet seems to be lying they claim their money back! People are not dumb!
This is not good for you and not good for your customers! Just be honest and transparent about stock availability and delivery times!

Did anyone order through Amazon Pre-order and receive their phones?

So, mine is a sad Amazon experience. I ordered through Amazon Pre-order on the 15th for a delivery on the 23rd. White 128GB with 2 day shipping. As of this morning, still showing arrival by the 23rd at 8pm, so I called to find out why it has not shipped and they said there seemed to be something wrong with my payment but could not tell me what it was as I have literally used the same purchase process and payment method for 7 other transactions this week. THEN, while I am hold with them as they research, my shipping date changes to January 9th. No one can tell me what happened and even a supervisor could not get the situation corrected. They mentioned not having supply (meaning no one got this particular model), but i really think someone just screwed up on my order and changed something and could not change it back.
So, did anyone who pre-ordered from Amazon get a white 128GB Pixel 4 XL?

Sorry to hear that, bud. This is exactly why I ordered through google, directly. Having another middle man between me and my device isn't gonna happen anymore. Hope you get it sorted.

It will probably come a bit sooner. My initial date was the 31st / 1st, but it's due to be here on the 24th, now

I spoke to rep yesterday about my order too. She said it will definitely be arriving on the 23rd blah blah blah. Today at 1:11 pm my credit card was charged so I thought I would get an email stating it was shipped but nada

I really hope that's the case, I assume you're talking about the Google store...

I received my orange XL from Amazon today. Good luck!

I received mine today as well from Amazon

I got my XL from Google yesterday (22nd), was originally told it would be today (23rd) or tomorrow.

amazon order received on 22nd by noon

I pre-order 64 GB - Orange - XL. Was supposed to be delivered today. And its in same state as OP, still says coming today but is not even shipped. I am worried now. I am contacting amazon immediately.
Update : Same ****ty service ... they wont ship it, they said they will ship it when its in stock. Also, since they shipped the gift card with it, they charged me $100 bucks for it and I cant return that .... I am never going to order from amazon again.
Update 2 : Found the white -64gb XL on best buy for pickup tomorrow. Hopefully would get it tomorrow.

So has anyone received a white 128 GB from Amazon?
It looks like they have stopped selling the Pixel 4 / XL now, and no longer have any Amazon buying options. I would say someone screwed up somewhere...

Here is the email I received from Amazon. Arriving tomorrow. They definitely dropped the ball with this phone launch.

mine is even worse, there now telling me I cannot cancel the order because I received the gift certificate. I notice now Amazon has actually stopped selling this phone so someone must have really screwed up... This is an Amazon nightmare

Im curious, why are people buying it from 3rd party distributor's? I don't want to rub in what I have already stated, but this wouldn't have happened had you gone straight to Google. If you have the money, I don't understand the issue. All that extra risk to possibly save a day or two or shipping doesn't seem worthwhile to me. Sorry for those that have learned this lesson the hard way.

I think it was because they were offering a $100 gift card without an expiration possibly. Google was offering $100 for the Google Store with a January expiration date.

My original order was with Google but the more I thought about it, I didn't want $100 gift card to Google store cause I don't want anything from there. Rather have $100 gift card at Amazon.
