Yeah ended up going with white/silver. I had been on the fence when I pre-ordered and just went with black. It's always the safe choice right? When I was playing with the demo's in the store, I decided I wanted the white/silver. Both blacks were kinda androidy to me. My point was more that nothing but gold was available for pickup, but when I got there I had options. I did not ask about jet-black and I am all for being patient and getting what you want.

I wonder what my odds are of reserving the Rose Gold and asking if they have a Matte black...

Psh, Apple did Jet Black phones before Android phones even came out.
 
Jet black plastic maybe? Or like broken Toy Airplane Black?

Those seem like pretty legit finishes on Android phones....one thing I can say is Samsung is probably already working on Spaceship Black as we speak.

They gotta stop shipping with rocket fuel though.
 
So vzw just told me my order will ship tomorrow standard FedEx...no acceptable! Anyone else have this happen???
 
Ha I just received a email from my bank!!!!! Got excited though it was letting me know of a charge and only pending charge is the Verizon one. But yea was letting me know I can view my monthly statement now! Lmao


Wonder if there will be any kind of movement tonight.
 
Final update to this thread for me... good luck to everyone else as their wait continues.

Ordered: Plus 128GB Matte Black
Order Time: Received confirmation at 4:02 AM Central on 9/9
Original Deliver By Date: 9/23 (never changed, until received shipping notification)
Location: N211401 (Wisconsin)
Credit card Charged: 9 PM Central on 9/19
Shipment notification: 12:30 PM Central on 9/20
New Estimated Arrival Date: 2-Day shipping to arrive on 9/22
Actual Delivery Date: 9/22 @ 1:00 PM Central. Went home on my lunch break and timed the Fedex guy perfectly. Saved me a 20 minute trip to the Fedex store.

I guess I can't complain too bad... this was my 1st ever pre-order, I slept thru my alarm on the 9th and thus was 2 hours late to pull the trigger. Verizon got it to me within a week of launch and 1 day ahead of original ETA. Mostly because I made the decision to go Matte Black. I don't do cases so was afraid the Jet Black would scratch too easily, so it was pretty easy for me to make that decision.

Like I said good luck to everyone for a short wait... hopefully.

My coworker, who ordered a plus days after me, just got a shipping notification from AT&T. He was bumped up from sometime in October. I believe it's just a silver but still frustrating.

Well now I just have to wait until I get home. Good luck to the rest of you! First and last time I order through a carrier. Until the next one!
