I was hoping to see movement on 256GB Black 7 Plus for delivery today. Still "preparing shipment". I ordered @ 3:40 AM ET on 9/9. I am going to be patient and just wait for it. I was contemplating on cancelling and going to the AT&T store to see what they have. Since no 256GB in black, or any other color have shipped, I am just going to keep my place in the pre-order line. IMO, I think that no store is going to have a 256GB Plus today, as they are all sold out. Also, I don't think they left China in time to be here for launch day. I have a case and screen protector, so when I get the phone, I will be ready to go.
