Thanks for the replies. I made a mistake I meant to say verizon version not unlocked sorry. I preordered online the 6th of September after I canceled my in store order. Just wondering if any one has received theirs somewhat early so I know what to be expecting. Still undecided if I should just cancel and go directly and order from verizon. Just seems like everyone that have received theirs is the black version. I've always had black phones as well so I decided to try something different for a change so hopefully I'll like it as well. I'm in California so don't know if that has anything to do with slow order...
