Ship Date?
halibaitor:
That is as close as we have come to an actual ship date yet.
I'm still checking my card daily to see if they have charged me. (again) ;)
S.Prime:
From my past experiences with pre-orders, initially you show a pending charge to your credit card, which is removed after a period of time if the purchase does not ship, but the funds are reserved so that the supplier is assured of being paid when the device ships. As was stated, the actual charge will reappear when the device ships.
Reading the order process from Staples indicates shipping between July 12 and 17th when you have the pre-order option selected, but changing the option to Nexis 7 and placing the item in a shopping cart changes the expected ship date to 21Aug.
I don't think that Google will fail to meet a July shipping date and create the customer dissatisfaction that Lenovo did last fall when they were over a month out from the initial ship date for Lenovo direct sales of the TPT. Personally, I think Google realizes the importance of having a good purchasing experience especially for early adopters and that they will make sure they get it right.

I keep checking my credit card each day for that charge to reappear. SPrime...what is the order process from Staples? I hope I didn't order the slow way!
A lot of people would not be happy if it didn't ship as promised.
Scott99:
If you ordered from Gamestop (at an actual store, not online), I've been told by two different stores, that the first wave of pre-orders will come in July 31st.
S.Prime:
From what I have seen the fastest option for delivery is to pre-order from Google. Delaying your pre-order eventually eliminates that advantage, since, as was stated, 3rd party retailer should have stock shipped from Google by the end of July and will yield delivery in August. So I anticipate a 3 to 4 week delivery advantage for the $13.99 cost of shipping. Remember that you also get the $25 Google Play credit with your pre-order and Transformers Dark Side of the Moon. Now IMHO, if they would include a remake with Megan instead of Rosie, it would be a deal too good to resist.
