The longest one week ever.

[onysi]

Today is Monday, its one week till the release of all the products.

I've sold my Band 1 on ebay already, and I will be reformatting my surface pro 3 soon, so I can sell it and use the money to pay half of SP4.

I seriously cannot wait. Some of these youtube reviewers already have their copies. I hate being a consumer sometimes.

What are you guys doing to occupy yourself ?

I guess most of us here would have been working to generate and save enough funds to buy whatever item they deem essential for survival.

Well, in most European countries the availability is one month from now so one week doesn't sound too bad. In fact on the preorder page says shipping before 19.11 whatever that means . But I have my trusty SP2 to keep me working and some great games coming out soon to keep my mind off the shipping date .

12th November release here in the UK

I hope it ships before the 26th... That was I can get it before I'll be gone for two weeks and it would suck if it arrives when I'm gone.. Then I'll have to wait two weeks before I can play with it... waaaaaah

My home laptop broke down 2 months ago and I've chosen to forgo a new machine in anticipation of this. O_O

That is a long time to be without a computer.

Anyone know if "shipping by" means "will be shipped and delivered on"? In other words, do we get our pre-orders in 1 week or do they ship in 1 week and then we have to wait a few days? In the past, it was "delivered on" but the language is different this time.

 

[orangesplease]

I know ha ha I only did it bc one of my friends did it for several months and said using the phone at home and work computer will be fine. Fortunately, they've been right. However, I haven't been watching videos or anything... I'll check out windowscentral.com on my phone every couple hours

 

[Keith Wallace]

Well, I'm going to do nothing. I'm not getting a Band 2 or a Surface Pro 4 or Surface Book. They're not putting the phone out, so I have no reason to hold my breath on devices with no launch date. The only hardware I MIGHT pick up is the Halo 5 console, and it's out this Tuesday (tomorrow), so that's more of a "whenever I want to go get it" thing.

As for generally passing the time this week and towards the phone and Halo launches, I've got a crapload of reading for school and work.

 

[xsikal]

I ended up changing to the i7 SP4, so it's not shipping until Nov 20. The band is not shipping until Oct 30. But I'll get my type cover next week

 

[TechFreak1]

Well, stop looking at the clock you're slowing down time for the rest of us :winktongue:.

 

[taymur]

TBH, i am waiting for the review videos, no one submitted anything yet.

And my guess is that Microsoft are not allowing those videos until the preorders are locked....

My conspiracy sense is tingling.

"Shipping by" means that's when they send it out their door. "Delivered by" is when it should arrive to its destination. If you see "shipped by", you have some extra waiting to do...

I just tested it to be sure, animated GIF's are supported in the Photos app Windows 10 Mobile is such a huge improvement over WP8.1. I honestly can't understand people who say there aren't many new features. There are a TON of new features.

No. There are not.

But lets not get into that now.. Too many threads around here
