General Release date for US slips to 8/24 - Sony Xperia 1 III

I just saw this when checking on B&H. Amazon also has this date. Originally it had a release date of 8/19. Hopefully it doesn't slip even more.

I would not be supprised if we dont see the phone in the US by september. If you bought direct from Sony the date says September 17th, even if you pre-ordered on the 1st.

b&h shipped my free earbuds today and my 1 iii shows a status of “order in progress”. not too sure what that means. weird to me that they are shipping separately.

I preordered mine on amazon and it says it will ship on the 24th and be here on the 26th. I hope so! I can't wait! Im still rocking an old Galaxy S5 and an S8+ and could sure use an upgrade. lol

Well, I got my Sony headphones that were available for an extra $1 with the preorder today. Havent tried them yet though. Thursday can't come fast enough.

I got my earbuds too last week. i ordered from b&h and chose 1 day shipping so my fingers are crossed for Wednesday. i have pre ordered things from amazon also in the past and a couple of times they arrived on the release day. i have prime. if you do too and they already have the phones, you might get surprised by an early shipping notification.

Yup. I have Prime.

they’re now shipping in the US as of 8/24

I ordered from Sony and got my headphone the day after I ordered, was kinda caught of guard that they came so fast. So I have had the headphone but no phone for the last month.

mine shipped today from b&h. fedex shows delivery for tomorrow.

Are you kidding me!?!?! Mine was supposed to come today but never showed as shipped from Amazon and just now got an email saying there has been a delay and the new delivery date is Sep 15 - Oct 1. I want, or should I say, I NEED my phone. I dont dare cancel it and try to but it elsewhere cause they are all on back order or first come first serve thing. Ugh... Som much for my pre-order. I guess I wait.

I almost ordered from there but being a Prime member, I decided to stick with Amazon. But then Amazon canceled my order three times cause the system thought it was suspicious activity and someone gained unauterized access to my account and made this purchase and canceled my order and locked me out of my account. Tooke me about 45 minutes on the phone, the 3rd time, to get them to figure it out. I guess the first time should have been the first clue to go else where. Sucks is it would be like 2 or 3 days before it would cancel my order so in all, this went on for like 8 days before it actually went through and stuck. lol

Anyone else playing the waiting game with Amazon?

Just ordered my Thunderbolt last night on Amazon to take advantage of the $179 price. According to the site its on backorder right now. Anyone else order from Amazon and still waiting? Also, who here has ordered a phone from Amazon and its on backorder? Did you have to wait the full 8-9 days as it says? Man, i can not wait to get my hands on this device!! Hope you all are enjoying yours as we speak!
Not amazon, but I ordered from Verizon and it's been literally within an hour of me since it shipped Friday with no signs of moving according to the fedex tracking....

Hate it when that happens. Happened before with an older phone. Hope you get it soon!
I ordered on Amazon on Sunday (I think) - said 8-9 days, expect it March 31st.
Today I got notification it shipped, and is expected to be delivered tomorrow (despite 2 day shipping, since it's coming from NJ -> NY, it will arrive in 1 day).

must be frustrating. they are offering free 3pm overnight shipping right now too. maybe you could call and have it resent via that for delivery tomorrow?
Amazon overshoots their delivery times, never had to wait as long as they estimated for anything I've ordered there, including phones.

Glad you talked em into it. I tried this on Sunday afternoon. VZW and Best Buy both refused to match it. I said "No Problem" and ordered online. Hopefully they will give me an update soon.
I purchased my TB on 3/18 and amazon sd it was backordered. got "Shipped" confirmation saturday 3/19 at noon and was in my hands monday 3/21 around 3pm. Came from Louisville, Ky and shipped to TN. I had to wait 24 hours for Sprint to release my number. All I can say is Amazon Wireless rocks!!

WTF is up with Newegg?

I thought Newegg was a big Asus dealer? Way it sounds, I am assuming not.
I have been told that they were receiving shipments on December 27 for pre-orders. Then it was pushed to today. Now I am being told that within the next two business weeks, they will be receiving confirmation of when they will receive more.
I guess on the bright side, no one else is getting them either, but doesn't sound like NE got that many to begin with.
Today mine got to the office depot warehouse after ordering on the 20th. 1/5 delivery date. I had been checking up on new egg as well and they never have any updates.

According to them for circumstances beyond their control, they never got them. They will know within 2 weeks when they supposed to get more.
The only reason I am sticking with Newegg is I have a $300 and some change credit.
I might the bullet and pre-order somewhere else and play the waiting game
Newegg is so clueless!
Preordered the Prime on 12/07, 32G Grey.
Was first told Dec 27, they would have some to ship for preorders. Was then told January 3.
I called them today and was told that they will have confirmation of receiving more within next two weeks.
Hung up the phone and went to Newegg less than 5 minutes after my call and low and behold the 32G grey and champagne was in stock ready to order. And they had a limited offer of a free Asus Carrying case as well.
Ordered and have been charged and is currently in packaging status.
I am pissed because the preorder people have been hung out to dry. Should not be able to just go to site and order if preorders have not been fulfilled.
Did anyone else get a free carrying case as well? My order doesn't show it, but it was there and I will raise hell if I don't get it after what we have been through.

UK release date confirmed

So, I pre ordered a C6833 from Clove what seems like an eternity ago & they finally have a date of when the handsets will be shipping. According to their site update this morning: First stock confirmed arriving 12th September, for dispatch on the 13th. Its a shame they'll be shipping out on a Friday as you can almost guarantee that means they'll arrive on Monday rather than Saturday.
I'm sure Sony will confirm this launch date later today in Berlin.

I phoned Clove earlier & asked about the chances of a Saturday delivery. The guy told me if I'd chosen Royal Mail as the delivery method it would be quite likely. If I'd chosen another courier it would almost definitely be a Monday delivery. I changed it over to royal mail on the phone

Well even if yours arrives on Monday you'll be pleased anyway to have a SmartWatch 2 and a SBH20 FOR FREE!
I have to check here for some offers, because 612 GBP plus 26 GBP (s&h) will result in like 750 euros, which is A LOT.
BUT, official Italian Sony site says the base price for the Z Ultra s 729 euros, so I guess I'll have to think about it, given that here a SW2 would cost 199 euros...
I have a friend going to NY mid September, but even with the exchange at 1.35 it wold cost me more than that...
What to do... What to dooooooooo??
EDIT: now that I've seen samsung and Sony (ironically my S3 writes the two initial "s" as I wrote them ) conferences, I'm more than ever convinced on the ZU.
Other than that, buying the ZU from Clove seems a real deal, but I wanted to ask some of you if they have had previous experiences, as in if I incur in some problems, will they change my device, are they reliable? Do they answer promptly to email (as I'm in Italy, I won't be phoning but emailing instead)?

This is my first purchase from Clove although they have been on my radar for a couple of years now so I can't help you with return issues sorry. I did however email them a few times with nagging questions about when they would be expecting the ZU to arrive etc. TBH they took over a day to respond to my emails. They did respond every time & but it wasn't as quick as I'd of liked. Speaking to them by phone seems to be the best method as they have always been polite, helpful & quick to answer any questions.
It does seem like an excellent deal when comparing the freebies from Clove & the prices other retailers are selling just the handset for...

I bought one white ZU (plus SmartWatch 2 and SBH20, luckily it's written on the receipt so no one could tell me "you weren't in time" ), and a DK30 dock for a total of about 674 GBP, a little more than 800 EUR. According to the Sony official site in Italy, I would have spent a little less than 1K EUR, so that's a real deal for me.
What I don't understand is, as this is a preorder (well, part of it, since the DK30 is in stock right now), why they billed me for the full order right away.
I was under the impression that there were a complex following of security questions, and that the billing would be when the product is actually in stock, but I may have misunderstood that.
Could you confirm that when you go to your account, under your order it says "BACKORDER"?
I thought it meant that they had a product and they don't anymore, but maybe they use it as in "we don't have it", full stop.
Waiting for your confirmation...

Yeah, mine says the same... I ordered a sbh52 before I'd ordered the handset as I knew I was going to get it any way & that says preorder but the handset says backorder.
When I spoke to the guy on the phone the other day he assured me I would receive the smartwatch etc & that mine would be from the first batch as I was one of the first orders (August 9th)

Ok, thanks, you really relieved me.
I assume that either they have a lot of handsets on the way, or they didn't have many orders until now.
Anyway, I don't care as long as I have my handset for monday/thursday (I chose FedEx, they're usually quick...)...

I ordered the ZU from Clove ages ago and took payment then so nothing to worry about.
Eagerly awaiting its arrival. What colour did you guys go for? I went for white (my first white Xperia), as it looks more premium than the black version. Which ones did you go for?
I went for black. My Note 2 was white (first white handset I've owned) & I always regretted it when I saw the grey version...
I'll put up with the finger print magnet black this time

I have to say I'm still in two minds - I love the white aluminium finish on the sides and the back will show fingerprint marks less.
However, I'm not keen on the front of the device with the white border, which takes away some of the immersion when viewing content.
I'm in half-a-mind to change, but can't decide. I've been umming and ahhing for days now!
Almost had the same thought - use one of the light backcovers if blacks back is freaking you out.
Giving you the generally harmonious design of the black version, and leaves you alone with cleaning session if you're bugged of it.
Very close to switching my order now, the more I think about it, I think black will be better overall. The XZU will go into a case anyway, so the fingerprint problem isn't too much of an issue.
I just opened an account and ordered the C6833 LTE from here.

Personally I'll be selling the free accessories, so all in ill be paying £400ish for the device.
But seriously dude even if people were paying double that, just let them spend their money as they see fit, its no concern of yours.

Not in my country I'm not. In my country it costs ~£640, I bought it from Clove at 675, but while in my country I would have had only the handset, with that money I paid the handset, a SmartWatch 2, a bluetooth headset SBH20, a DK30 dock, and I also paid for priority shipping.
I won't sell the accessories simply because I would have bought them anyway, so, for me, this is saving money, not "paying stupid money".
You wanna get it in February when it costs 450? Suit yourself, nobody is telling you what to do.
And by the way, I've seen people spending three times what was worth a PlayStation 1 when it first came out just to buy it on D1, and the same thing happens over and over again with hundreds of items, so go and wait for a price cut while we stand in line to get our first batch.

I'm sure Sony will confirm this launch date later today in Berlin.
I also ordered my XZU way back in early August(Seems like forever) and saw the confirmed date...I had messaged Clove just after that date was posted and they replied that they still did not have a confirmed date from Sony, so I don't know what to make of this and will hope that this is indeed true....

Pre order thread

Mine was ordered on 2-29 and a rep today has told me that it will take 3 business days.
Anyone else have anything different?
I got an email mine will be here tomorrow.
I ordered mine at 8am on Feb. 23. My status online says "Orders will begin shipping the week of 3/7."
Ordered 2/23.
"Your order for the Samsung Galaxy S7 edge has been received. Orders will begin shipping the week of 3/7. Keep an eye out for a shipping email with your tracking information. Thank you for your patience."
The status online has changed 3 times for me. From shipping monday, then this week in 2-5 days. Now it says shipping the week of the 7th.
Obviously sprint can't figure out what they are doing. But what's new.
I have it on my hand atm. Good phone so far. Battery dropped quick when i first got out bit removed bloat and now it's about better.
Ok So I pre ordered the Galaxy S7 on the 23rd at a retail store. I called up sprint today to get a status check on my order. the order number i gave him from my receipt did not work, so i told him to look at my account he saw that i had pre ordered the phone, he let me know that since all pre orders come with gearVR my phone will be shipped on the 11th of March along with the gearVR to a sprint store. he said i should get a tracking number right before its going to get shipped
The rep I talked to on the 29th said the phones were getting shipped to them from ***** on the 4th and they would ship the 7th. FWIW. She also said the Gear VR was in stock and would ship the 29th LOL.
Sent from my SM-G928P using Tapatalk
ordered mine 3 days ago got it today S7 edge gold
Ordered mine on the 29th got it last night. Silver edge, Gear VR is on back order and ships by the 7th it says.
For everyone that got there phones already did you receive a email with tracking information or did it just show up ?
Ordered Mine from Verizon getting it NEVER! Lol probably next week....I hope.
Just chatted with a rep online. He says that they are back-ordered, but they'll be getting more in over the weekend and have them out next week. I sort of feel like a whiner because i'm not getting my phone earlier than I expected it. This process is making me act like a child. HAHA. If my order doesn't come early next week I'm going to throw an all-out man tantrum.
Information: for some reason sprint thinks that it's expectable to send out the phones that were purchased on 2/29 and 3/1 immediately , however who ever placed it on the 23rd we have to wait ! How does that make any since in hell??? I don't get it why are we the ones that are "backordered" ? We ordered nearly a week before them it's not fair that they are getting them , I complained and I suggest you do as well and let them know people are receiving it I received 30$ bill credit and a 30$ assessory because they agreeded and couldn't explain why mine wasn't sent even the person from the shipping department was confused !
They only give me a 15 dollar credit I order on the 24 and my bro order on 2/29 and has his phone I was piss I call everyday and everyday every sprint rep said something different smh

Keep complaining over live chat and over the phone i was pissed too i don't get it ! Why does someone who ordered after mine is the one who gets it ??? it makes no sense to me, and even the order specialist (shipping department) didnt even understand. My assumptions is that sprint originally gave us the 3/7 deadline but if you noticed on 2/29 and 3/1 the statuses changed and the people who placed orders on those two days originally received a shorter shipping period . So to avoid any problems they just shipped it due to whatever your original shipping said to avoid any problems and we are the ones that got backordered.

Samsung says all preorders will get their phone by September 14th

I hate to start another waiting room thread, but I stumbled across a few articles wherein Samsung commits to every preorder being delivered by 9/14. Here's one:
http://bgr.com/2017/09/08/galaxy-note-8-preorders-sales-numbers-vs-galaxy-s8/
"Some customers who pre-ordered from Verizon, T-Mobile, Sprint, and Samsung.com have already received their devices, and Samsung has said that any customers who order a Note 8 from Samsung.com today will receive it on or before September 14th — still a day before it’s scheduled to show up in stores."
A different article stated that Samsung is doing this to deflate the upcoming I-Phone release. Anyone have any thoughts on this? With all the late september/early october shipping estimates that we got when we ordered (I ordered unlocked under the note 7 promo last week, got an October 1st shipping estimate), is it possible that they will all be delivered this week?
Dud I also got the Oct 1 date for the unlocked version, I would call Samsung if you can't wait.
I never said I can't wait... did I?
Just a recent news story to provoke thoughtful discussion on a somewhat hot forum topic.
I don't know, doesn't seem to be any logic or reason behind Samsung shipping phones. Some people ordered last Friday and got the phones yesterday or today. Some like myself ordered on the 24th and still have nothing. Would like to believe it, but I will be surprised at this point If I get my phone this week. Samsung already failed to live up to its promises made to me, so I don't have much faith in them.

Unlocked Note 8

I wish that I ordered from Samsung or Verizon, instead of Best Buy. As of this morning, my phones are still sitting in preordered status. My card hasn't even been charged yet. No way that I'll have it by 9/15.

Cancel your order then go to a BB and get your phone there on 9/15? Or is the $150 off for orders before 9/15 only?

The $150 is only for preorders. That goes away on the 15th. That's the only reason that I did it that way.

Yeah, if it were me, I can wait a few days for $150
Or in my case... I can wait till the 14th..cause the note 8 only cost $525...

Yup. My Note 4 is still holding up. I can wait.
Just a bit jealous of all of the people who already have them. I know that this is how BB does things, though. Is what it is, I guess.
Looks like this was fud as well. 14th is here, and I doubt mine will show up. I now hopefully will get it before October. The 150 dollars in now going on week 3 of watching other people get thier phones. Doesn't help that Samsung customer lack of service has mislead me time and time again.
