Well somethign is up with best buy..
Yesterday they told me that without a doubt I would be able to pick up my preorder on April 27th.
Now today I have called 2 stores and both claim that they have no idea when they will be able fulfill preorders.
On the website the White GS4 is still listed as april 27th... the black one no longer lists a date.
Also interesting .. the AT&T had said april 26th. It now lists both white and black as april 27th release.
Anyone have any concrete information from Best buy?

A friend of mine is the GM at a Best Buy Mobile here in San Angelo, TX, and they have no idea when they're getting these in. Usually their drop shipments come on Wednesday, but there were no S4 devices in that shipment today.

This guy is correct.... the preorder holds a phone for you.... But does not guarantee you one on the launch date. Depends on when they get them, how many they get and how many preordered before you (the exact same model of you that is).

Just in the last hour or so ... the AT&T versions have been changed from
Release Date: Saturday, April 27, 2013
to
Release Date: Release date not yet announced
The Sprint white GS4 still is listed for April 27th... the black GS4 was changed yesterday to have no information about release date.
It looks like the black one might be harder to come by then the white one at this point.
I preordered a VZW version, but if there is no 32gb option, I will cancel and stay with my 32gb GS3. There is not THAT much difference to lose all my app storage space. My EA, Gameloft, emulators and media play fine. Still would like the S4, but the 9gb free on the 16gb version is too low for me. Just a few gb free on my S3 as it is.
Preordered my sprint samsung galaxy s4 from best buy on the 19th got my email today saying my s4 it's ready for pickup. Yeah boy

Hi guys, I just wanted to pass along some potentially juicy info. I've been amped up about a potential early release of the VZW model from that last thread that got closed, so I've started my own sleuthing around.
I saw a thread somewhere that someone had heard from a Best Buy employee that the VZW version would be on sale on Friday, October 4th (that's this Friday!) As a result, I decided to call 4 of my local Best Buy stores (which included one specialty BB Mobile store) and check for myself. This is what they said
Store 1: "we don't have an exact date yet, but it should be within the next week" (this is unfortunate, because this is the closest store to my house)
Store 2: "our system says October 4th"
BB Mobile: "we haven't received any shipments yet, but the system says October 4th"
Store 3: "We haven't gotten a shipment yet, but if they arrive, they will go on sale on October 4th"
Things are beginning to look up again for the Verizon faithful. I encourage everybody give their local BB stores a call to see if you get similar responses. My only question now is if they'll price match VZW's $699 price if the corporate stores haven't started selling them yet (Best Buy currently lists full retail price for the VZW variant as $799)

And they said that this was for the VZW version? The only reason I want to verify, is that the AT&T version releases on Friday the 4th, so I hope they weren't looking at that.
One can only hope, ive called 5 stores in utah and 4 of 5 said the 4th?? but that's weird cause its friday and VZW usually likes thursdays???
i guess we shall wait and see....i'll know when/if i get my preorder email friday morning!

This is the Verizon version. I'm grasping at straws every chance I get, so I hope this Oct 4th date holds true. My heart's been broken once already with the original Sept 29 early shipment rumor (which I hold nothing against the EZ in his thread for), so I'm hoping this holds true.
And hopefully it's for both preorder and walk ins. I'm contemplating cancelling the VZW corporate preorder, and pre-ordering one with BB...

Honestly, if by some miracle BB gets it on 10/4 then I will be at the store asking them to hold one while I call Verizon and cancel my pre-order.
Just spoke to my local Verizon store and she said that they were actually supposed to have them in-store in the next few days, but that had been pushed back and that they don't have a definitive date at this time.

Just got back from BestBuy - pre-ordered there as well. If it's a waste then I just have a $50 gift card sitting around. At this point I cant tell if my pre-order from Verizon will arrive before or after BestBuy... Either way, hoping that one of these places gets it this week.

Hopefully it's the same as the S4 release from Verizon which shipped 8 days before it's expected ship date.
..Also the S3 pre-orders arrived several days before the ship date as well.
..Unfortunately it looks like they didn't start shipping the Note 2 until it's ship by date.
It's Verizon though, so of course we can't have a truly definitive ship date.. If they botch my order I'll ship the Note back and just wait until December to cancel and go to T-Mobile. I lover Verizon's service, but they make getting the latest greatest so damn difficult.

May I ask what makes you say that? I'm not disputing you (quite the opposite, judging how all these early release rumors are going), but maybe you know something that we don't.
I'm gonna call BB every day until we can get something more concrete, either from them or from VZW

youre fine i just say that knowing verizon and other people saying they would ship by now. verizon wont let bb beat them to the punch.

Called 2 best buys near me (Hershey, PA) as well as 2 verizon corporate stores. Best buy guaranteed the 4th - verizon reps said that is the tentative date if all goes well. Take that as you will, just thought I'd share
it will be nice if they do release it on the 4th but this sounds a lot like the AT&T thread that claimed a release on the 27th at best buy. I used to work at bb a few years ago and the release dates would change all the time until the day before something is supposed to release then they would put a notice on that product to start putting it out on the sales floor. Not sure if they still use this method but thats how it worked when I was there.
Went into my local BB today (Long Island, NY) and they said the 10th.
Well, I called the store closest to me again, came at them with "I've been hearing it'll release on Oct 4th for Verizon", and they told me "we won't know until the Oct 4th release date".
I'm considering just putting money down on a preorder at the store, then waiting to see if BB or VZW will sell one to me first. Does anyone know if BB will price match Verizon's retail price if it hasn't released yet?
My friend that works at Best Buy Mobile spoke with a rep who said it will be at Best Buy on the 10th. The phone will be out for every other carrier on the 4th; Verizon hasn't given an exact date yet which is why Best Buy employees are most likely saying the 4th since that's the day it will be released for every other carrier.
I second that. My friend is a manager at the Samsung department of BB mobile and he said 10th is when BB will have the GN3.

I was told via BB Wireless sales chat (3) different chat sessions and each one said Verizon Wireless, October 4th. I will stop into the store tomorrow, if its there great, if not, then next Thursday it is. But if you notice the BB website says "In Store Only" for Verizon and "Pre-Order" for all other carriers. So why would that be if there isn't something going on.
So when you guys went to the Sprint or Best Buy stores and exchanged your phone for a S7E or other device, were you able to keep your upgrade date? Say for instance you got your Note7 on August 25th but exchanged it for an S7E October 25th, next year would you still be able to upgrade your phone on August 25th?
I was able to keep my previous update date. I don't know how they did it. I did my exchange at a corp store. I don't think the guy knew exactly what he was doing but its still listed as I have an upgrade available.
Thinking about ordering the blue variant because none of the stores around here have them in stock. But I don't want it if it already has been updated to 7.1.1. Anybody bought one from Verizon online in the past week or so? Thanks
Yep just bought mine and received it yesterday. Can't beat $10 per month. It shipped with 7.1 and I removed the sim card before powering it on (probably overkill) so it wouldn't update. I was able to unlock the bootloader, take the OTA, and then root it after I was on 7.1.1. I can't guarantee yours won't have 7.1.1., but most threads I read said probably not until end of January would they start shipping.

I believe it was originally in early Nov. They changed it to Nov 11 by end of Oct.
My blue unit shipped yesterday. Ordered Oct 10th, originally scheduled for 11/29. Updated 1-2 weeks ago to 11/13. Shipped a little sooner

Hi Guys,
Just to clarify for all those hoping to root your shiny new Google Pixel 2/2 XL that you bought from EE. I can confirm that the bootloader is locked if the handset was purchased from EE direct. Unfortunately OEM Unlocking is unavailable...
If anyone can share some advice on how i might go about unlocking my boatloader i'd be exceptionally grateful!
Take care!
