FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!

I signed up about a week ago. *fingers crossed*

So far this is one slick machine

I did not recieve any kind of emails. They just delivered the package without any notification. Christmas came early this year!! .
It's actually a funny story. I am staying at my parent'h house right now, babysitting their dogs. My gf told me that a package came for me at our apartment when I was not really expecting one. I was really caught off guard.

I've read reports of people getting emailed that they've been chosen as a tester, but not emailed any shipping information. The laptop just appears on the doorstep.
EDIT: NM, delayed response on my part.

Well, I can confirm the doorstep part. According to my gf, it was just sitting right outside our apartment door. No way to treat such a treasure.....
I am planning on uploading a video to Youtube showing off some functionality. I will post the link on this thread when it is done.

How long did it take between when you signed up and when it arrived? Im wondering if i still have hope..

I think I signed up about 2 months ago. It says you can sign up until Dec. 21st. They are supposedly giving 60,000 of them away, and have only shipped 13,000. Good luck!

i signed up for mine last mon or tues and received it that thursday (2-3 days later) with NO notification - it just arrived on my porch

I'm so disappointed...there were two coming to my zip code yesterday and today but neither one was for me. I have a relatively small town of non-tech savvy people too so I was hoping I would get one but it looks like both have already been delivered
btw, for anyone who wants to check if there are any coming towards your zip code (it won't tell you what address for privacy reasons) then you can check out this tracker somebody made for it:

Ya, I checked on that site. There were 2 units coming to my zip code and one was mine
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App

2 were delivered to my town so far.. I pray there's still hope for me since there's still a rumored 45k left.

this is a neat netbook. i love the 8-10 hour battery life but honestly, i can get more done efficiently on my Captivate running Assonance 5.0 w/ JL3 modem and it's much faster.
going to put the cr-48 in developer mode over the holidays and install a dual boot of ubuntu to make it a really efficient and useful machine.

I signed up several weeks ago, but no love yet. 2 have been delivered to my zip code but not to me. I did get some GTV love, I got my Revue yesterday so at least I have something to keep me busy between sacrificing chickens to the gods in hope of a CR-48.

***will trade my cr-48 for Revue***

When I get my CR-48 I'll let you know if it's a good trade
I've only had my Revue for a night and I am loving it so far. Once I can get this thing rooted to get around the network blocks it will kick some serious a$$.

Yep, I checked the store today and they did not have it in stock. They had an open space to display it, but no stock. They said that a lot of people have been asking about it. They didn't know when it would arrive, but it might be as much as a month after it is listed online.

Was told the same thing, minus others asking about it when I went to check.

I called my local Best Buy. The lady stated that her computer said it will be in stock on 22nd - 23rd of July. So hopefully only another week!

That fondue pot's looking pretty good XD. I didn't see it this morning, it's there now. I ordered over the phone and the expected delivery date is the 19th-24th.
EDIT: Anyone notice that the dock is $160 at Best Buy?
EDIT2: A side note...they offered a warranty of some sort (I didn't really listen, I just wanted to get the thing ordered already), some Geek Squad warranty against physical damage like drops and breaks, it even covered water damage. Anyone think that would be worth it? I don't think I'll be taking my tablet to the shower with me anytime soon, but it might be helpful if it's actually a good service and I do happen to break it.

RE - Sprint Galasy S6 Edge

So I was checking the status of my preorder because Sprint, like always, managed to screw something up and the girl at order support tells me that they will be receiving them on the 10th and then shipping them out afterward. Now, I know customer service reps do not know everything so you take it with a grain of salt BUT what is the point of having a pre-order if you are going to ship the devices and your customers will be receiving them after the launch date. Wouldn't it be better to just walk into one of their retail locations and purchase the phone that way?
Now, Like I said, I don't know if this is indeed true or if she just did not know what she was talking about but if the phone does go out later then the launch date, that is really ridiculous....

My order status says the following:
Status: Your order for the Samsung Galaxy S6 edge 64GB Black has been received. For orders placed through 3:00 p.m. CT on 4/7/15, we will do our best to deliver on or around 4/10/15. For orders placed after 3:00 p.m. CT on 4/7/15, we will do our best to deliver in 2 to 5 business days. Keep an eye out for a shipping email with your tracking information. Thank you for your patience.

I know what the order status page states. I am just telling you what one of the order support reps told me over the phone. Sprint made a big mess on my account, which has to be corrected on the backend and I wanted to make sure it would not impact my pre-order. I called in and asked her if everything was still okay since the big screwup and she said it was and then went on to when they would actually be receiving the devices, etc. Like I stated in my previous post, she could have been wrong because phone reps usually do not see the big picture only the part of the picture that is available to them but just thought I would share just in case.

I hope she was just clueless & we'll get our Edges well before the 10th.
I remember there used to be a similar concern for the S4 preorder back in 2013. In the end, Sprint delivered the preorder 3 days ahead of launch date for me.

If you got your order in then you shouldn't have anything to worry about, inventory is probably at the warehouse already. Whoever you spoke with on the phone wouldn't have a clue as to what is at the various warehouses.

It's been known since pre-orders that gold would be delayed but people keep making a big deal about it. If people didn't want to wait they should have selected one of the other two colors that were available.

Has anybody received notification that their phone has shipped today?

Check yours when you get home for scratches on the display. Mine should be delivered today also. Hoping that there is no display issues like with the others some people have gotten on the other two carriers that started shipping early.

That's the plan. I'll update when I check them out.

Well. My first one has a few scratches. If you look below the M in Samsung you'll see it on the screen.

Mine is scratch free, as far as I can tell. I used a multi-LED flash light. The sun test is the other test. There was a lot of garbage in the wrap thing though. Lots of trash, specs of stuff. Could have just been dust. I don't know.

The wrapping on mine had a load of crap under it. No wonder they're getting scratched up in transit. Look under the M.

My screen was perfect as well, no scratches at all. Beautiful phone.

Anyone got the grey Pure XL yet?

I placed an order on the grey version last Friday but no ETA yet. The gold version is in stock though.

On Amazon I placed order for gray phone it was placed on back order. I canceled that order on Sunday. Placed new order Monday and it went straight thru. Phone will be here today Wednesday.

Still no shipping notification on either order :banghead:

The Gold has gone out of stock and then back in stock while the Grey has remained out of stock the entire time. I called Blu's sales office (who lied on release day about it being Amazon's fault) and again they said that it was Amazons fault and i needed to contact them to see when the phone would be available. These freakin people, how do you run a company like this?

Btw, i do question onemotodroids assertion that he received his grey unit as no pics or supporting evidence were given while I cannot find anyone else out there claiming to have received one.

Then you won't mind posting a photo?

Do you guys have Prime? I do, for me the gold one is always in stock, at least every time I look. It's in stock now.
The screen on the Pure XL is outstanding for reading. Yes, it's better than the N6. I just need root!
I will install an AT&T Sim in the XL on Saturday and see if I can live workout root as a DD.

No one is saying the gold is not in stock and available now. Some of us are skeptical about your claim to have purchased and received the *grey* Pure XL from Amazon without waiting. The grey has never been in stock according to Amazon's web site are there are people who have pre-ordered and have been waiting for it from the first day the page was up (Oct 19) without any word of availability from Amazon. It seems improbable to us that you simply ordered it last week and received it in a couple of days as you claim. So we'd like you to post a photo of your grey Pure XL.

Anyone kind of wondering whether or not the Grey edition actually exists? Its now over a month since the 'launch' date, the gold unit has been in and out of stock several times on Amazon with no sign of the Grey aside from the "Temporarily out of stock" label that hasnt changed once. The way that they keep blaming Amazon when its clearly NOT THEIR FAULT really makes me wonder what a company like this is capable of. If the Grey unit never shows, and it was only the Gold all along, I guess i just wouldnt be surprised one bit at this point.
Edit: Come to think of it, I dont believe that ive seen any video reviews of this phone that werent the Gold version.

Amazon just sent me an ETA for Nov 11 for the grey phone I ordered on Oct 23!

Man, that's how I felt with the gold and pre order, not pre-order dilemma. My decision to wait a day to do my pre-order cost like one extra day which at that point had already been way past the whole 9/29 original date was my feeling. Phone is worth it. You'll love it. Now, I wonder if the black will ever surface. Fortunately I wanted the gold to begin with!

That's my thought exactly!
Looks like they're trying to get rid of the remaining stock.

Probably means nothing but my hope is that they are going to release new products. I don't see why they would enroll into the Android P beta program just to drop the phone a few months later.

If you want to release a home device you need a customer base as big as you can get. This is one way to increase the numbers.

bought one...can't wait to use it

I was thinking this too, make a big sale wave in the phone market, grab attention, and build up more users...

I wonder how long it will take to ship? Hoping to get mine by the end of next week for a trip. Looking forward to playing around with it

@antmunny & @rambleon84, let us know when you get it, how you like it.

@DoR3M3: Thanks for posting that deal! I can't wait to see how well it works with Android P. They may well be clearing the shelves for new and improved items!
