I would absolutely read that! But I'm a huge Sci-Fi nerd, and pretty much read all the sci-fi novels. I'm probably a little old, but have read all the Dystopian stuff too.
Well. I canceled my pre-order when I saw a availability for a 6+ 64GB Space Grey ATT phone at one of the area. But before I could get my eligibility back, the phone was gone. But I still see silver availability. I will keep checking the stores and based on what I have seen so far, it looks like stores are getting them every day.
I believe work/school productivity markedly plummets just after keynote, rebounds until pre-order day and then dramatically plummets and stays down until the pre-ordered phones arrive. I'm sure it's a steep, albeit temporary, decline. I want to see an infographic on it!
That's encouraging! So far, beta readers have given me some good feedback, but I still have some revisions and polish to go before it gets released. Mine is probably a little closer to adventure than dystopian, even though it is set in a post-fall society, because it's in some ways a blank slate - a race to the Core as it were, with some ethical ambiguity thrown in there.
Yeah, that's generally the case. If you're willing to keep trying to hunt one down you'll get it eventually. When I pre-ordered right when they went on sale and still didn't get the 19th as my shipping date, I strongly thought about canceling and doing the same thing. The rumors of low availability of the 6+ gave me cold feet, especially because I can't tolerate white bezels and so had to have a very specific color as well, and in the end decided not to chance buying something I didn't really want and to wait it out. Frankly, I'm glad I did now; the exact phone I wanted is on its way.
I held for pickup with my choice and now the delivery date is unavailable. it better not have slowed the shipping down

Actually, I also have the luxury of having a gold 128GB 6+ in hand. So the moment, I get space grey, I am going to return this and get a 6 for wifey.
