Just curios for photos / usability feedback... Cant wait to get mine!
There are a couple threads over in the General Forum to keep an eye on:

Neither have a post from anyone getting the dock, and the second thread looks to be pretty much dead. But the first thread still has some activity so you may see a posting there when one of us does get the dock. I'm sending my stuff in today.

I was part of the 1st rebate group that purchased the gtab on Thanksgiving day. Around Christmas I received the letter indicating that $10.50 was required for shipping and I sent a chack back in.
My check was cashed on 01/06, so hopefully I'll see something soon. I'll post when it arrives.

I was on the phone with US Merchants yesterday and was informed they don't have the docks in stock yet. We are looking at about 4 weeks at the earliest for delivery.
I have their phone number if anyone wants it just send me a pm.
I got mine but it is handled by a company called US Merchants that requires me to send a check or money order for 10.50
The woman from US Merchants told me they wouldn't get the dock until February. Yet they cash the check Right away BULL****
I know a lot of you are gonna be PO'd at another best buy thread but from everything i read everyone is just speculating that the champagne hasn't shipped through them at least that hows it seams cuz i haven't heard of a single one comming out of BB. So this thread is to make sure of it and find out who ordered what day they ordered what their status is showing charge card info blah blah blah Also for all of us waiting it would be nice to share any info you get for those of us waiting on the champ. from BB!
Ordered on 11/27. Chase C.C. been auth twice but currently no charge. 1st screen shows "In Process" 2nd says 1 item(s) on back order. Standard Ground.
was told countless times i would receive by the 23rd also if they received a shipment i would get free 2nd day shipping to get b4 xmas ANY FEEDBACK WELCOME!
I pre-ordered a 32GB champagne on 11/23. From what I have seen not a single champagne has shipped from Best Buy. Meanwhile, Amazon has shipped mostly champagne. My screens are the same. My credit card doesn't show the pre-auth's but I assume they've run it multiple times. I was told many times that it would (1st) be delivered on 12/19 and (2nd) before Christmas. I think it is safe to assume Best Buy hasn't shipped any champagne as I pre-ordered early on 11/23.
I ordered on 11/22 same back order status standard shipping and I haven't gotten a single piece of usable information from my multiple attempts at calling..used a BB credit card and the charge is not on my balance but it had been taken from my available credit

11/25 w/ free shipping. card (debit) has been charged 4 times, including right now (seems to stay in "pending" for 3 or 4 days before dropping off).
i was told on the 5th (when I called after the 2nd "hold" was placed on my card) that it happened b/c the item was shipping. on the 14th (3rd charge) I was told to cancel, b/c bb doesn't sell the champagne one (I told her not to touch my order, that I didn't trust anything they were saying).
if I can find this thing anywhere else, I'll get it.
Pre-ordered 11/23
Status on first screen says "in process" 2nd screen says "backordered"
Paid with paypal and they have my money from day 1....
Free shipping was offered at the time....
Well I guess I'm gonna call again this morning I can't believe they told u bestlie isn't selling the champagne if this is true I won't really be surprised. I tried switching to gray yesterday and the rep told me it wouldn't matter lol if anyone gets any info please share. Let u guys know if I find out any new info on my call.

Pre-ordered 12/1 32GB and dock. Status on first screen says "in process" 2nd screen says "back-ordered" for both. I also paid with PayPal and they have had my money since day 1 too!!!
32GB Champagne Prime
Ordered 12/2 after the great Amazon Debacle. Went from processing to backordered a few days ago.
I ordered the 32GB Champagne and dock on 11/22 via paypal - The money was taken out of my paypal account on 11/25! I recieved the back-ordered email and when I complained to the CSR that people who preordered later than me had recieved tracking numbers, she couldn't explain it. I guess they really don't have the Champagne in stock as the other thread doesn't have a single Champagne owner mentioning a shipped email.
I knew I ordered the wrong color!!!
Yeah and I only ordered champ because seemed everyone with a gray from amazon was getting cancled thought I would have a better chance boy was I wrong. I haven't called yet today I'm going to in a few minutes then will post

I ordered the tablet on 11/22 and the dock on 11/23; both with same status now as "backordered"; I received emails for both regarding the backorder; called BB yesterday and they just send me one email for each item stating "extended backordered" for 30 days; after 30 days order will be cancelled!
4 times pre auth on my Citi card; problem is that Citi holds precharges for 30 days!
BB CSR told me when she extended the backorder status that the system was showing date of receipt BETWEEN 19-23; so, two more days and we'll be there to see our hopes vanish.
Nothing changed on my call today just told for a 2nd time when it comes off back order I get free upgraded shipping. At least the lady I talked to today tried after being on hold twice and disconnected she called back to tell me should could not get any more info

In the same boat as everyone else. Ordered two 32GB Champagnes and one dock on 11/23 from BB and anxiously watching for word that they're shipping Champagnes. Called Best Buy on Monday and was told 10 days by CSR, but I think he was just splitting the difference on the 1-2 week timeframe in the email. Thanks for starting this thread.
Ordered on 11/29 (both the dock and the tablet)
Both have shown back-ordered status since 12/18
I emailed them on 12/18 asking what was going on and they emailed me back later in the day and basically just confirmed that they are on back-order and didn't have any additional information.
I haven't received any additional communication from BB regarding the issue. I also did not receive the auto-generated email indicating that the item is on a 1-2 week back order that others have received.
Ordered on 11/23 (both the dock and the tablet) Money has been deducted from my Chase debit card already. Got an email saying both items have been back-ordered, I keep calling them, believe it or not, they are hanging up on me now(twice yesterday). this is totally bizarre.
Ordered on 11/23, and got a back order e-mail on 12/19. It's listed as back ordered now, with an estimate of 1-2 weeks.

I am in the exact same boat, calling CS today. I got my back order email at 10:20 pm on the 18th (twenty after midnight at their corporate office). Was pretty upset about it as this is a gift.

Ordered champagne 32GB on 12/4. Backordered email came same time as everyone 12/18 midnight, with a delay of 1-2 weeks. 2 weeks hits January, and I expect another week of delay then, then ship time. Should have it from BB mid Jan, unless I change my mind about the whole thing.
Ordered 12/2 after the Amazon fiasco.
No information since the email stating it was backordered.

Just spoke to a csr and it was pointless, told me it is back ordered and that she has no other information. Going to email now, utterly ridiculous.

Just ordered with shipping time between 12/29- 1/3
32gb Grey
Just caught that one and placed an order. Got an email that says:
Order in process of being fulfilled. Estimated arrival date: 12/29/2012 - 01/03/2012
Not going to cancel my other backordered deals with Office Depot or Amazon until I get a tracking number though.

Man, if Best Buy actually ships these things to people who ordered today, and don't honor their offer to switch backordered Champagne models to Grey and ship those first, I'm going to be PISSED. Yes, I'm posting this in two threads, but that just shows how pissed I am. I NEVER cross-post. Or rarely.
Damn, Best Buy, you just couldn't have screwed this up more.
I had this page open on my browser with the audible notify set to on and it worked:
http://www.nowinstock.net/computers/tablets/asus/
Alarm went off and I had the order done in less than a minute.

Man, I feel for yah. Had a similar deal with Office Depot shipping out units to people that odered well after me while I was on backorder. If I cancel my order, someone else will just grab it up though.
I'd preferred the gold version, but this'll do.
ShopDiscover.com gives a 10% discount on purchases through bb.com
But it states: Offer not valid on laptops, desktops, hard drives, Geek Squad services, online photo center sales, digital downloads, long distance or internet sales, or mobile plans
Wonder if this tablet is considered part of the laptop/desktop restrictions.
This makes no sense if it is true. Mine is supposedly back ordered to mid Jan./Feb......
Hallelujah
I've been waiting on Best Buy to update their site for the longest.
I just ordered.
12/29-01/03/2012 is the estimated arrival , my grand total was only $529.64 after tax as I was able to use my $5 dollar off Reward Zone coupon.
and the shipping is FREE
Thanks! I just ordered. I thought this christmas was gonna be a bummer, sold my og transformer last week and was going through withdrawals.
And those backordered ppl I hope they saved some for you and send em to yall first.
Is it champagne that is backordered? I wanted grey anyways so it don't matter. Just need a dock now.
Was planning on getting from gamestop so I could get free games, but I can't wait.

So using shopdiscover.com for the 10% cash back bonus, if the bonus is given on this tablet then it'll come out to be cheaper than Amazon even with shipping.
Just bought one right now from best buy for my girlfriend.

I've been stressing all for like 2 weeks now on how I was gonna get this ting. I'm stationed in Germany and wanted to pre-order, but with so many options negated by no shipping to APO I was in a rut. YOU MADE MY DAY!
Order submitted! Estimated Arrival: 12/29-01/03/2012
Score
Just ordered, thanks for the heads up, it should arrive next week, my dock also shipped from newegg. Happy Holidays to all!!!
P.S. I'm still on the look out for a champagne one for me, wifee is all set
Glad I was able to help. I am so excited, keeping my jan. 26th amazon order for a few more days just in case. I am so glad this is almost over...
You all realize you just ordered from the company that has about 100 pages talking about how stated delivery dates are pretty much meaningless. I wouldn't cancel other pre-orders until you have a tracking number. It's hard to believe BB cleaned up their act in 72 hours.
SICK!!! OP just saved Christmas for me. Will deliver on the 27th!!!!

My boss actually gave me an Ipad2 yesterday as a xmas bonus but I sold it last night and used that plus an extra 50 bucks to order at Bestbuy.com. I hate paying for taxes but Amazon taking too damn long!!! Thanks for heads up.
Crossing my fingers!

THANK you VERY MUCH. I just ordered two GREY 32 GB PRIMES from Best Buy which will be delivered on Wednesday 12/28 using your link. One of these is for a friend. This is my 5th order for the PRIME I will need to look at cancelling the other 3 (2 from Amazon and 1 from GameStop).

party pooper.
but hey wasn't it rumored that Best Buy was undergoing some mandated meeting today regarding their Christmas order commitments. I know I read it here or from the forums.bestbuy.com site.
Perhaps this is the result of that.
anyone share their status on bb shipping?
mine got just backordered again hahah so funny.. i wanted to get it asap
so i had to cancel my preorder this morning and placed another order with the fastest shipping method (btw i gave up my free case and upgrade fee went up to $36 from $18.. )because
at that time bb webbie cleary said it would be shipped within 1~2 days . now

I just got an email "Problem with order" from bestbuy, its all fixed. For some reason all they wanted was to confirm my shipping account since it was different than the billing address. So I am gonna guess they are shipping out today, about time!
Mine still says "order in process of being fulfilled" from yesterday. Anxiously awaiting a shipment confirmation.

none of my bb has notes in stock . there is one bb has notes but its like 100miles away from me
dang, got my hopes up for no reason. Still no shipping confirmation Have you guys had any luck today?
Mine still says "Order in process of being fulfilled; Usually ships in null - null days," as it has for about a day. C'mon BB...
Mine shipped out via UPS Next Day Air this morning, arrived this morning, I missed the delivery, and I'll be picking it up later today. By the time I received the shipment email from BB, it had already been attempted to be delivered. Apparently it shipped out yesterday (2/20), but BB's system never updated me to let me know when to expect delivery.
I'm on the phone with Best Buy, and apparently the issue with att still isn't resolved, wth? and thats why they haven't been able to ship it. If I wouldn't have called I would have never known there was an issue.
Picked mine up a couple of hours ago from my local UPS distribution center, still getting used to the whole Android OS.
Still waiting on mine, slaps self for not picking in store pickup, or overnight , did get my 50.00 dollar bestbuy giftcard email. Should be in Friday.
Thought I'd make a thread for people who pre ordered through Amazon instead of clogging other threads.
I just ordered mine today and its back ordered but says est delivery on May 21st
Also here's how to get free one day shipping! Thanks purock!

Just ordered mine and Del date is 5/22. Ships 5/18.
I think it says back order because its a pre-order? Not sure?
But release is not until 5/18 so.... I hope it ships that day because I have 5/22 off from work.
It says free activation for new lines... but when I ordered as an upgrade it said Sprint would charge me $36 activation. I called Sprint retention department and complained about their lack of lte, etc and got a credit to my account and a promise to waive the activation fee
To get free overnight shipping just email amazon and ask nicely. Include your order #. They were really cool about it.
The $36 fee waiving is for new lines only, not upgrades.
And don't worry about the backorder note, Amazon told me that's just a placeholder type deal. They told me that that all pre orders are on track to ship by 5/18.
My estimated delivery date is the 5/21.

I purchase everything via Amazon, but I couldn't wait (too excited) to pre-order so I went with Sprint.com, I should have waited.
I made a promise to myself to never do that again, so my next HTC phone will definitively be via Amazon for sure.
I was opposite. I ordered through Sprint, canceled, ordered through Amazon to save $62.
I too am an Amazon fanboy. I have no problem waiting a few extra days.
Sent from my LS670 using XDA
They didint say **** about Activation waiver. They told me to expect it.
But they did throw in a free charger and a $10.00 Google Wallet Credit.
As far as Shipping. I would prefer it be on Tuesday as that is my day off! Woooot and I work all weekend. Perfect timing!

Thanks man, I'm going to try this out! I just hope to get it before Memorial day weekend since I'll be out for almost a week. Hopefully my preorder is on track since I ordered a few hours ago lol
Edit: Can confirm this works!
I just cancelled my order from Wirefly and placed one with Amazon. I was in early with Wirefly on 5/7, but they would never give me a straight answer of when or if it would ship soon.
Amazon did say I should have it by 5/22. Not sure whether I believe that or not, but at least they are giving me a date. I also noticed they gave me a free car charger once I placed my order. That was a nice surprise.
Not sure how this customs thing is going to affect it if it is true.

Yep they are giving a free car charger to everyone. Can never have enough of those generic USB chargers.
In all honesty, I doubt the Customs thing is going to affect pre-orders that much. Most of those phones have probably been in the country for at least a few days.
Those customs batches are for units not yet sold, I suspect.
When I click the free charger link it 404's lol

I preordered from Amazon on 5/11 before it went to 'backordered' and my status still shows as shipping 5/18, so I decided to email Amazon today and got the following response:

Hi,
I placed a pre-order for the Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE on 5/11, but last night
I heard there was some sort of delay for this phone due to US Customs. My
account page still shows my order as estimated delivery date of 5/22 with
the shipping date as 5/18 as it originally was when I placed the order. I
wanted to confirm if this was still accurate and if the delay has changed
anything for my account? Also are there any options to possibly get this
shipped faster with another method?
My order number is ******************.

So I'm crossing my fingers that Ron from Amazon knows what he's talking about.
Same thing for me; I'm curious if anyone who requested the overnight shipping has seen a change on their order status. (IE: Arrival Date: 5/21)

Amazon often plays by its own rules. So I wouldn't be completely shocked to see them ship out preoders if they were able to get their batch. I know Sprint would prohibit them from doing this, but how effective could they be?

I had it change a while ago. My status still says this when you go to view order:

Interesting because I got a completely different response!
Thank you for emailing in about the possible delay of the HTC EVO LTE 4G Android Phone. There are reports that the phone is delayed at customs and I'm sorry we don't have a time line when they will be released.
We look forward to seeing you again soon.

Just got my response back for the change in shipping. My order has been updated and says it will ship on the 18th and be received on the 21st. I figure Amazon will join the delay alongside everyone else, but they are taking their time getting that info to their customers, so I wonder if they will do anything about that... they are generally good with their customer service. I don't mind waiting if it comes to that.
Yeah I'm trying to keep my expectations low so I don't get disappointed but I'm hoping they already had some stock onhand before it went to backorder status and are still sending those who had preordered their phones on time.
On a related note, I did email again and requested for one-day delivery instead of the free two-day shipping that they automatically give you and score!
Hello from AmazonWireless,
I was able to upgrade the shipping on your order to one day. The new estimated delivery date is 21 May 2012.

Hello [Crowordove],
I'm sorry for any inconvenience this may cause you, but the truth is we just don't yet know how this customs issue with the Evo LTE phones will affect our ability to deliver your new phone to yet. Of course, we'll keep you informed via email as we find out.
For now, we still expect to ship your order in time for delivery on May 22, 2012 .
We'll send you an e-mail when your order is shipped with your tracking number.
You can track your order status online on Your Account

That's what I was given yesterday. However my OG EVO can last a bit longer if I need it to.
