My Nexus shipped around 5PM the day before. With things like this I think Google and Fedex have the whole thing planned. Google just gives them pallets of devices and Fedex does the rest.
When your talking about 100s of thousands or possibly millions of dollars for one "order" fedex will move mountains to make things happen

i have to agree with this.
i really hope this time around, they ship from canada to canada. when i got my nexus 4 it came from east usa somwhere, and got stopped in fargo because of 1 cm of snow...
In my experience it ships from Google's warehouse in California. Close to where they are headquartered.
This will most likely be the case this time too.

Im in the midwest. So my 5PM is your 6PM.
I think right now the warehouse employees are just sticking tons and tons and tons of shipping labels on boxes with G watches in them. Then Fedex (maybe UPS if they changed carriers since Nexus 5) will pick them up. Then we SHOULD get it tomorrow if you did one day shipping.
One can pray and do rain dances to hope lol
Every device I've preordered I've gotten before or the day of launch so laws of the universe maintain that won't change so we are all safe and will have some g watch goodness tomorrow....at least I hope.

My order updated to show Leaving ON July 3rd. So My guess is I'll get the confirmation email around midnight of or early morning of July 4th with tracking info. Being that, likely going to be Monday since I doubt it will be delivered on Saturday even for 1 day shipping.

Ok looks like the rumor is Evo 3D pre-sale for premier members will start at 8:00am CDT! I'm excited! I'll edit this post if I get a confirmation on the time. I just hope overnight shipping isnt an arm and a leg!
edit: Now hearing they are posting the link at midnight central. fingers crossed!
edit: The new HTC Evo 3D comes out on June 24, but you can purchase yours now as part of a Premier Firt to Buy occassion! This offer is while supplies last. By purchasing online, you'll also get free shipping and waiver of the upgrade fee. Just go to http://www.sprint.com/ftbredbud29

According to Art (Premiere Community Manager) on the Sprint Community Forums the web site should update and the EVO 3D be available for online sales to Premier customers at 8:00 AM Central Standard Time. Guess only time will tell if he as a member of the Sprint Management Team is right or not.

Your welcome! Glad to hear it Discount is only like 80 cents anyways, if you really want it I can refund you the difference if you send me an email with your order number.
Nice link.. checked it out. I dont know if i want to pre-order though I already have a pre-order on file with best buy. If I can get the phone even a day early though it would
be great as I really want to get pictures of our cases up on the website on the real phone. Amazon as well.. have a bunch of cases that I sent to Amazon so customers can
use Amazon Prime but right now I have no pictures up for them! Probably not the best marketing to have no pictures on your listing

who knows how long it would take to get it... might as well try shopblt.com since theyre supposedly receiving 200 grey / 200 champagne docks in 2 days.
Yeah, it says right on the ebay page "Please Note: The keyboard is English and Chinese symbols."

I find it weird to see you guys scrambling to get a dock, over here its a mandatory part of the 32gb package.
We only have 32gb with dock, and 64gb without dock, both packages priced the same.
there are 332 back ordered at blt and only 209 coming
I bought mine from this guy. I personally had a great experience with the transaction and received tracking information very promptly. I have no idea how this happened but I received it in about 8 days. I was expecting it to take at least 5 days to clear US customs alone and wasn't really expecting it's arrival so quickly. Your mileage may vary.
The Chinese symbols don't bother me very much. I don't really look at the keyboard when I type anyway.

Just a poll to see the numbers.
It wil be useful to see the ratio of those that didn't manage to get an order off to those that did/already received it.
Mines out foe delivery today! should get it soon
Ordered 32GB version from the UK playstore. No word yet on shipping. Anyone else from the UK ordered/received theirs?
I ordered 2 pieces one 16 and one 32 gb. The 32 gb per accident, but I thought about it and preferred the 32gb one. The 16 gb Version I have cancelled. Others want to have one, too!
The 32 gb Version was shipped yesterday and at the moment DHL is shipping it to me. Can't wait until receive it taday!
Ordered mine on Nov 13 and still hasent shipped yet. And I live in CA where Google's headquarters is. Im waiting on the shipped email to be forwarded to me from my father(it was a gift bought under his gmail account). This is driving me mad!

Tell us more! I'm so greedy for more information.
Haha, happy to oblige. Much like the N7, it feels like a premium tab to me. Everything I've tried so far has been beautifully smooth. The screen is every bit as good as people have said it is. Got no problems with light bleed on this one so can't comment on that. I was sceptical when I first read about the layout but having used it it doesn't bother me in the slightest.
Also just finished downloading Amazing Spider-Man and it looks stunning on this display.

Got my shipping info today as well. There are 3 shipping schemas: If you're on the east coast, it ships from the west coast. If you're on the west coast, it ships from the east coast. If you're in between, they ship the box from the east, device from the west and the shipping label from canada - then they assemble it all and repost it from Iowa.

Personally I find it very comfortable to hold either one or two-handed. Even though it's a big unit it's very well designed. Using the keyboard on this is really a question of how easy it is to use a keyboard on a 10inch tablet in general rather than the N10 specifically. Personally I'd say it's no easier or harder. I love the new keyboard itself, to the point where for the first time ever I may well continue using a stock android keyboard.
Ordered my 32gb 10 the morning they were released... After many, many tries!
Got my UPS tracking # last night but still doesn't work as of a few minutes ago. Just want to know the projected delivery date!
Finally updated, says it's in Kentucky. Why ship two day on a Thursday??
C'mon, Google. For $14 shipping you can do better.
Still hoping it will update for delivery tomorrow...
Wanted to share this with folks, as I know a lot of you would like an early upgrade to the Note 2.
First, we are a business customer; that is my wife works for a large corporation that allows us some nice discounts on our service. We have 3 phone lines in our family, so we are not that big of a account personally..
I called CS today, and asked about an early upgrade. We are only in month 10 of our agreement, so I didn't think I had much chance. The first guy I spoke to was trying to get me to change my plan, and add a line, and do all other stuff, so he could "justify" upgrading me for $299.
I told him no, I didn't want to add a line, or do anything silly like that, and asked to speak to retention.
After being transferred, I politely told the gentleman that I wanted a $199 upgrade to a Note 2; I mentioned that Sprint and T-Mobile had promos for that price, and, I could sell our 3 phones on ebay, and make more than enough to pay the cancellation fees, but, I wasn't threatening to leave, nor did I want to leave, nor did I want 3 upgrades; just one for me.
He came back and said he could do the upgrade for 299, plus he would give me a 30 dollar credit for the next 6 months, effectively making the price 119!! (299-180=119).
I asked him to waive the activation fee, and he said he would give me another 36 dollar credit to take care of that, and, also, throw in 2 day shipping for free!
So, I should have my phone by Friday, and am excited to move to the note 2, especially at THAT price!!
My point is, it appears that now that Xmas has passed, they are more receptive to doing early upgrades for those of us that don't really qualify; also, being very polite, and nice to the agent probably helped me as well!
Thanks to all the great friends, dev's, and mods that I have made in this thread, and, a lot of you have already moved to the Note 2, and I am sure a lot more of you will be there soon as well. Hopefully, you can be as successful as I was in getting an early upgrade if that is what you so desire...See you on the other side soon!!

I've also got multi window... Lol. Gotta love being xposed
I would love to try this but with note 3 talk already out maybe I should wait.
Yes it will be a long wait but.....

So true, man..If we always waited until the next "big thing" came out, we'd all still be using bag phones!!

I really like the notepad feature. I can write easily, but the unit lacks portability.

I LOVE that 2 tone look....acoustic modems FTW!!
Its true that there will always be a next big thing. The flashaholic in me wants a note 2 but att extended my upgrade time to 1 1/2 yrs when I upgraded to the note and I didn't upgrade early. So wait until Oct or pay full price. I'm sure they would be happy to let me pay full (overpriced) retail.

I count on the prices on Craigslist to drop. I have never used my upgrade, because I never want a contract.

Not me, I figured how to get multi view and the fancy camera feature About Face. I'm set.

Sorry, buddy, I was just pulling a few legs. Its sort of an inside joke around here because there has been almost 15 threads started about this. Now you're inside.

Have you guys not tried xposed frameworks and the multi window apk? Works on stock tw based ROMs.
Cheers Folks,
for the time being the dealers mostly show the 06.09. as the start date for their deliveries of the XZU here in Germany, which still is a tough period for waiting patiently...
But whilst the time from June they were also quite unisono stating the 23.09. and some further dates.
Due to the dragging devlopement of LTE offers here, the LTE Version of the XZU would be nice to have but not hardly neccessary.
So if the release date will be in 3 or up to 4 weeks, i would cancel my preorder and go for a 3G Version from China.
So does anyone has a definite info when Sony will roll out the devices in Europe / Germany?
Thanks already now for some input.
Release date in the UK is set to sept. 9th, so i guess around that date? Sony said it will get released in Q3, so we'll get it in september "no matter what", but i agree, the waiting is killing me, so i hope september 9th is the date.
Nice avatar, jack!
I'm also from Düsseldorf :laugh:
Waiting for the SBH52, hopefully it will be released together with the XZU in germany.
Same date here in sweden too. I can't hold it much longer! :fingers-crossed: But I want the LTE version otherwise I would have ordered it from Asia.
The shop were i've placed the preorder now states 4 working days for delivery, which would mean that they have to get it on wednesday to deliver it overnight on thursday.
Let's cross fingers they're not promising too much.
Release date slipped now to the 09.09. on trader side, which will then be in line with the leaked release overview that was spread for the SGN3
Delivery then should take place then on the 10.09.
Still early enough to take along the LTE Version with European Support.

This is starting to **** me up a bit ...
Now the online-shops over here started to pass on the release date again - actually they're up to the 13.09., which then would be in line with the UK statement but still already a week later then announced initially.
But why Sony is not able to provide a clear and explicit statement, especially in the course of the current IFA?
Seems to me, that they're using the devices in HK & Singapore as Beta Testers for a smoother European rollout.
Sony hasn't given us a specific date as far as i know, but that doesn't stop the stores to speculate. Some stores won't add a date at all or add a "late date" since they haven't got a specific date. Other stores will add a much earlier date so people will pre-order one (that's cash in the bank for them), and then they'll just push the date until they get them. Sony said Q3, and Q3 is over in 3 weeks, so we'll get it in september. My guess is next week.
Rule of thumb; don't ever pre-order anything without having an official release date.
In my profession i got so called off the books, verbal and non written contacts to the decision makers, which grants me a fundament to make my preparations on the quiet. If i don't have them, i keep my fingers still and my mouth shut providing better nothing, then something again and again wrong.
But it's a more general topic of communication and information policy. Even Samsung is able to state the release date directly in the release show. And we dont have to talk about the overall quality of Samsung beyond performance, right?
So its on the one hand surely the scruffy behaviour of the traders. But this wont be the case, if Sony would communicate in a proper way to make proper business.
In the end this all does not influence my preorder. If i made a decision that i want a product, then it's rock solid and even delivery times won't affect that.
Just a way to ease the pain, and ... communicate
From the really beginning I heard mid September, for earlier date it is only shop speculations. The firmware .510 isn't totally stable as there is still the black screen when uncheck Optimized backlight and restart the phone. Main reason the phone came out in developing Asian countries is to give a large scale test for the device and develop a stable phone when released in EU and USA.
It'll be in Europe soon and you'll enjoy a full functional phone

I preordered from Clove.co.uk and they state on the site that they'll receive the first batch on the 12th and start shipping on the 13th.
I had it shipped via FedEx to Italy so I guess I will be playing with it Monday or Tuesday...
Here in Italy I personally asked in several shops (~6) and they look at me like they just seen an alien, and tell me the only 6+inches device they know of is the "great" Galaxy Mega.
Then I lol a bit and get the F off those shops, keeping in mind to come back with the device and shove it in their faces.

Sony on their part now lists two different versions over here in Germany.
First "Coming soon"
http://shop.sonymobile.com/de/buy/xperia-z-ultra-black/1275-9772/
Second "End of September"
http://www.sony.de/product/smartphones/xperia-z-ultra
Both are official Sony websites / stores.
But 2 different official "statements" of the same company would fit in the "not mentioniong anything solid" circle ...
Mytrendyphone says it is in stock, made for german market.
Purple: http://www.mytrendyphone.co.uk/shop/sony-xperia-z-114592p.html
White: http://www.mytrendyphone.co.uk/shop/sony-xperia-z-114553p.html
Black: http://www.mytrendyphone.co.uk/shop/sony-xperia-z-114541p.html
A bit more expensive than other stores but it's the first store I've seen that has the LTE version in stock in Europe :good:

Would not trust them, especially when, as usual, the Purple color will come later than the classical White/Black.
That I'm sure of.

Their "In Stock" looks like gambling to me, especially as they're buying time with the "usually dispatched within 3-7 days" instead of usual delivery time.
Sadly the live chat is offline, would be good to get a further statement of them.

I agree with you, also their products is always more expensive if not double the price in some cases compared to many other stores. I see it more like a sign that the Z ultra perhaps is arriving in some stores now.

For the same price I bought it from Clove.co.uk getting the SW2 and the SBH20 attached... I'd say their price is asking waaaaay too much
On the other hand, if you look at the listing price here in Italy is around that, so I wouldn't be surprised going around London or Milan seeing the Z Ultra on display with that price.
Let's not forget we ARE NOT the majority of people, and that the majority will discover the mere existence of this device when window shopping maybe for Christmas...
Furthermore, I would be willing to bet that nobody will rise an eyebrow seeing the premium price, as for the simple customer bigger equals more expensive.

So Sony Germany via Twitter came back on my request ... but at the end of the day, the statement isn't really worth the time they've spent on writing it.
"The Xperia Z Ultra will be release soon. No appointed day known."
Beyond that a german carrier (o2 Germany, Telefonica) also came back, giving an impression of optimism mixed with unknowingness - at least in my opinion.
If the "soon" of Sony is going along with the "this week" of o2 - praise the lord ... Mighty king of honor and smartphones, it's here.
So the traders here are giving green lights for avalibility.
Mine sent me the delivery confirmation this morning, and with the overnight service i'll get it by tomorrow.
Finally
It's available in Norway now. Some carriers have got it, so I guess it's a sign that it's now officially released.
