preorder

[JoeDizzle33]

I'm a little disappointed it didn't happen today. Even if it isn't available for another week I would've liked to be able to at least pre order one and know I have one secured for the launch.

Did you miss the part where it was mentioned that preorders should being starting sometime this next week?

Not from Nokia, MS, or AT&T though. How many times have we heard rumors about when it will be available for pre-order? At first it was when it was announced in September, which didn't make much sense as WP8 was always slated for end of October, but still, the rumor was there. Then it was Oct. 21st, nothing, except the BB debacle. Then it was Oct. 26th, which is today, and it's looking like nothing will happen.

In addition we have various launch dates that, while have not come to pass, still seem to be moving back. Nov. 11th now is a possibility, whereas everyone though Nov. 4 was pretty set in stone before. Again though, rumors rumors rumors.

Yes, WP8 will be announced the 29th, and we hope and pray it's the final announcement and not just another showing off of the new home screen and camera app because the rest of W8 launched last night/today. But until I hear official word from someone like Nokia, MS or AT&T, these rumors about "it'll pre-order xxx, it'll launch xxx" are just driving me crazy.

Here's hoping you're right about next week, but everyone's been wrong before.
