iPod touch FOR CANADIANS: Online order status / Store stock

OK, we've been punishing apple, and it's time to dole out some punishment to FedEx.

It says the package is at local facility so i called fedex, gave tracking #, and she said your package should arrive by the 9th... yes thank you so much lol.

She said she'd get someone from the local facility to give me a call - come on put it on the truck already!

Does it have to be re-sorted again after it arrives at the local facility? it has only been here for a few minutes (in the facility) so I guess it's not time to panic yet. I'm just tired of waiting.

im in the same boat as you

and no once it arrives at local facility, it should be put on a truck out for delivery

btw for all of you guys whose items are out for delivery can you tell me what time it arrived at your ocal facility.

I think what he means (and if he doesnt, then I do..)
What's the spread between "arriving at local facility" and being put onto truck?

thanks....we are all obsessive compulsive heh
 
Mine is on the truck for delivery. Hope everyone enjoys your new iPod. Catch you all at the next iPod release.

UPDATE: Mine was just delivered to our mailroom. Probably helps that our office is 2 blocks away form the airport and the Fedex Depot.
 
Man - I don't get how the ipods were all much closer to me here in Etobicoke (10 minute drive max), and yet the great fedex sorting is managing to get it to people a few provinces away quicker than those a few blocks away... and I'm still not on a truck.

Judging from last week when my IMac arrived it should be ehre by 1pm. Im so looking forward to it but I dont think I got nearly a emotional as some people. Please remember it may be awesome but its only a gadget (no need for death threats to apple or fed ex). Good luck with everyones delivery times I'm going to clean up so I can spend the afternoon playing with my Touch!
 
but where would we all be without death threats? lol.

wohoo! Jeez someone must have taken an hour-long coffee break...
 
On truck for delivery at 9:42. Of course now they won't be able to deliver, so I'll find out if their pickup service is any better than Purolator which has sent my packages halfway across the city after I wasn't home to recieve them instead of to one of the 2 local pickup locations... or maybe I should just rush home and wait ;-)
 
Mine has been delivered in Calgary. Week 36 in a Macy Gray box. I find the song playing on the box art work funny. "Finally Made Me Happy" by Macy Gray
 
it's here!!!
First thoughts? it's both smaller and heavier than i thought it would be.
Not "heavy" but it feels substantive in your hand - which I guess is good.

I'm trying to get the white envelope with cables open with one hand as I type, so I will go and be back after

Hockey season starts tonight, plus new iPod - wooo freakin HOOO
 
Anyone else in Van waiting for theirs? My tracking shows:

Mine actually has to come to the Island today from the mainland. I'm guessing it'll be here around 3ish. Damn you BC Ferries!;)
 
Ok this rules posting from touch!!! They should have switched del and done buttons they're not in logical places
 
(now back to macbook for longer post)

Firstly, I must eat my words about apple updating to 1.1.1 before shipping. It seems like they did update because unless it snuck something in on me, it came with the recent firmware. i checked for updates and it said i have 1.1.1

Next, as I was mentioning from the touch, the backspace and continue keys should be swapped. They aren't in "logical" order as they are on most standard keyboards. This is confusing!

Also, the fact that it asterisks out your password is NOT helpful because if you make a mistake, it's more difficult to catch and you end up typing things in 4 times. My WAP password is long and has letters and numbers, so it took several tries.

Web browser is quite slow compared to a laptop (which is perhaps an unfair test) when I loaded macrumors i had to wait until the whole thing loaded before I could scroll down.

I'm putting some movies on now to see how that goes. update in a bit
 
Ok - according to the FedEx site now the package is delivered. Signed for aparently by the driver. WTF?

You live with someone else? maybe they signed for it...or do you have a fedex sticker on your door that allows them to drop packages at the door and consider them "delivered and signed for" ? my parents have that and all the FedEx guy does is scan the barcode on the door, drop the package, and leave.

Compare the browser to the PSP or DS and you'll never speak bad about the iPod browser again.

I still don't like the location of back and continue keys. The back key should be up beside the P which is where it is on the keyboard - and where "continue" is. The "back" key is almost exactly where the "enter" key is on most keyboards. It's annoying.

So far, i'm finding it's easier to jab with the index finger than to type with both thumbs, but it will get easier to thumb.

videos look very nice. I absolutely LOVE the interface. I'm sorry but I never had a thing for the click wheel. it always went to the wrong song or went down just a little too far when you scrolled through the menus. Photos look magnificent even if they aren't as high of a resolution...i mean, the thing has 163 pixels how do you expect to put a 5 MP pic on it? lol.

A poster in another thread said they had started trying to "flick" their mouse pad, and I laughed, but now I'm doing it too! that's how intuitive of an interface it is. I'm very happy so far (although it has only been a few hours).

How do I turn off the "search for wifi" feature so it doesn't annihilate my battery as soon as I unplug it?
