Umm... WTF? UPS just came. Had a package for someone else in my building but doesn't have a package for me! :eek:

I spoke to the UPS guy. He checked his truck again. No package for me. He says he's the only driver/truck for me street. That's it. If it's not on his truck is not being delivered today.

No, seriously, WTF UPS!? Status states it has been on the back of a truck since 2:01 AM, "Out for Delivery", so why isn't my package on the only truck that's making a delivery to my street today? :eek:

Do UPS drivers go back to the depot for more packages when their truck is empty or to pick up and deliver a late package slated for delivery today? :what:

Got my 2 (one office, one home).

Works with the Diztronic case. Well designed. Great looking. Worth the price, NO! I think it would be fair to price it at around 35 bucks maximum.

Thought I'd add some photos for those that are tired of looking at text only :silly:

Too low on the charger - no charging:

The lowest you can put it on the charger and have it charge:

It actually charges even without the phone having to touch it (I have only the official bumper on it):

An IMPOSTER trying to charge wirelessly. Grip on charger holds it in place, but no magnet action for my Sensation 4G!

Overall, I like it but I don't think it's a good deal for the price (not that that will stop me from keeping it). I wish the magnet holding the phone were stronger (so that the phone would "snap" into place), and also that the charger itself were weightier (it is heavier than you might expect, but not heavy enough to not move slightly when you're lifting the phone off of it).

Got mine last night. If the WCP700 is worth 50, this is easily worth 60. Very nicely made and finished, small and unobtrusive, with a nice heft to it just like the Nexus 7 charger. I really like it.

BTW... the magnetometer indicates that there are no magnets.

    Please excuse my ignorance - how is this more convenient than a regular charger? You still need to plug in the orb to the wall socket when you want to charge the phone, don't you? So isn't the orb really just a fancy replacement of the micro usb plug, without any real added value?

    This has been talked about to death. If you can't or won't see the value in this, don't buy it.

    Seeing them in the US play store from here as well, damn that's expensive though, I won't be purchasing one.

    The Verge are reporting that the Orb is now for sale on the play store. Not here in the UK atm...

    saw the UPS truck park on the side of my house. Got all excited and confused.....oh well, maybe it will be shipped on V-Day.

    Def showing 16th as shipping for me. Thats fine, as long as i get it before March.
    Mine better not show up on Valentines day! Any package shows up that day that is not for my wife and I am a dead man!
