This is where I officially depart from this thread. Good luck to eveyone.
For the record, my posts were never intended to discourage those that are getting their phones on time. Ruining the experience never crossed my mind, especially since nobody has a phone in their hand yet. I simply wanted to comfort and help those going through my very same experience.
As far as my statement regarding possible flawed phones, there most certainly will be. But once again, this was not intended to ruin the experience. I was simply comforting those in my same situation.
Growing up and signing out as requested.
