so he said the preorders will be given on the 19th or the phone will be released on the 19th maybe he was confused....i hope
Fairly certain pre orders are also on the 19th.

Preorders ship on the 19th and will be available for in store pickup on the 19th if you reserve it in store

If you think about it.... Best buy is offering the case and $50 most likely because people will not get them early and that's their way of keeping up with att sending them out on the 17th

Best Buy can not release them before the 19th because of their contract to sell AT&T phones I don't think their system will allow them to be sold (the stock may come in on the 17th but their system has no way to sell the inventory until the 19th when the system is updated) as far as the gift card this is going on til the end of the year on any carrier and if successful I'm pretty sure they will run it through 2013
I went there yesterday to preorder and see if they could get it to me by the 17th and they said no it still would be on the 19th.
BBYM employee here. Hard street date is the 19th and they will not be sold or shipped until then

Yea well,
I'm pissed! Att and another premiere rep said when I checked my order said that its in warehouse and ready to ship next 24 hrs. I probably won't ship till Monday! I preordered the white one Feb 5th at 12:15 am. Live in Houston, tx. So much getting before the stores get it and can't cancel. Its shipping fedex. Isn't there a holiday coming up? !

They are wrong. If you ordered before the 15th, and you see a Processing status on the site, you will likely get your phone tomorrow.
yea its phone +1 ,sim +1 ,freight +1 and in process
Don't worry. I ordered mine on 2/13 and mine now says:
Estimated delivery Feb 17, 2012 by 4:30 PM
Mine says Processing and then shipping data 2/15/12

We apologize for the inconvenience, but the phone you ordered is extremely popular.
We receive shipments of additional phones daily and will fulfill out-of-stock orders in the order in which they were received.
Once your order is ready to ship, we will send you an email with your shipping details and update this site.
Special Note for Preorders:
If you placed an order for a device that is currently in preorder, we will begin shipping them in the order they were received as soon as we are authorized to release the devices.
For assistance, please contact us:
ordered mine 5/8/12
Mine says that too. All that means is that they will ship the phones when they're authorized to do so.

i ordered mine since the 8th, and here's a screenshot of what mine currently says. perhaps the delay is only for new orders?

i hope you guys get your phone early tho. cuz that would suck
I ordered mine on the 7th so i think i might be ok
The ones saying 2-3 weeks have not eve been validated yet. So those are the back ordered or delayed orders.
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk 2 Beta-6
I think this indicates that Sprint sold a lot.more phones than anticipated and had to cut wirefly short to meet their own obligation. Wirefly orderers should have been concerned when they hit the order button but they should especially be concerned about the s 4 shortage.

Thanks for pre-ordering. You are one step closer to getting your phone. Keep an eye out for a shipping email with your tracking information. We will do our best to get it to you before others get a glimpse on Friday, May 18. For questions, visit sprint.com/preorder.

My wife wanted the phone and we had one waiting for her at a corporate store. Just walked into best buy to BS around. Guy said he had them stocked for preorder, but had more devices than preorders.
Said to do preorder and I may get one today. So I did the preorder, walked around store and got email stating it was confirmed, then not 5 minutes more of walking around I got email saying it was ready to be picked up. Told him I got email and it was a done deal. Walked out with it.
No one that preordered from there hadn't come to pick theirs up yet. She was first person to get from that particular store.

Inventory allowing... pre orders made before 5/21 are hitting stores today and tomm. If you pre ordered after the 21st you will get next shipment. Noone is able to walk in and buy... So your pre order is being fulfilled in order it was placed... What's the problem?

yea im talking best buy
i put in a pre-order with best buy today after work and i got the $50 gift card deal
As I stated earlier. I went in and got my wife one today. Preordered, got confirmation, and then got email that phone was ready to be picked up within minutes. Walked right out with it.
Could it be the quantities that they received? I'm in north Dallas.

I pre ordered the s5 from T mobile on 3/24/14 @ around 6pm PST, then I got an email from them the next day saying it was back ordered.
My question is who else pre ordered same day and got same email?
I Think they're just having to say that to everyone since they will get stocked soon?
If you didn't get that email, what time did you pre order? I hope we all get it on time!
Backordered as well... Ordered mine on 03/24/14 @4:36pm CDT

what does your order show as your expected delivery date? i chose regular shipping (not thinking twice about it since pre-orders on Sprint shipped free and arrived the day of -or day before- launch) and noticed that my delivery date is 4/16.
when i pinged them on twitter, they told me it's because i didn't pay for expedited shipping. then they said their inside info suggested they'd get them out the door in time to arrive by 4/11.
just curious.

Mine ALSO showed a date around 4/16, I did ALSO select overnight shipping hoping it would arrive sooner ....day after, it showed "ground" shipping($6.99). I called tmo, they said that they're changing it for everyone since it really doesn't matter since we would "all" receive by 4/11 ,which means it might go out by 4/8.....Let's hope they keep their word!
Huh just checked mine and it still shows expedited shipping with delivery on 4/11

You must have been one of the first ones to pre order? What time did you do it? Have you confirmed that what was shown on the invoice was actually charged? Remember, that they mention that you won't get charged until the item is shipped. So they might just switch it on us for a cheaper shipping price towards the end?
Yeah that was on the invoice at the time of order, on the order status page, and what I got in my email.
I preordered mine at 3 am EST on the first day possible.

the execution of this (as with all phone pre-orders) is abysmal. the info i got from t-mo tho does match what others are saying, regardless of the massive inconsistencies in their written communication.
- all preorders by today should arrive by 4/11
- tmo is advising customers NOT to pay for expedited shipping as it wont matter
- they are staggering shipments based on geography, inventory, etc. so people may get them sooner than 4/11
- all preorders show as "backordered" until shipped
Someone on reddit (r/galaxys5) had his T-Mo preorder ship today. Anyone else?
Sadly mine hasn't shipped yet.
