<UPDATE:> Original estimate Dec 22, arrived Dec 20. It was in China 36 hours previously. Jet travel is still amazing.
What a gorgeous piece of hardware. I'm perfectly happy with my One, but son needs a replacement phone, so Merry Christmas to me. Now I have to decide whether to wait for Oxygen Nougat or root, flash TWRP, and try CM 14.1. I'm very impressed with CM 14.1 on the One, it's the best ROM I've ever used. Decisions decisions.
</UPDATE>
The Gunmetal 128 wwas "shipping immediately" for about 36 hours. I decided to wait as I won't be at my delivery address until next week.
Silly me. When I checked yesterday, "Buy Now" indicated 4 weeks (Dec 22). I purchased on the spot. This morning (Nov 24), the "Buy Now" info for Gunmetal 128 says "less than five days". I could be a douche and cancel my existing order, then re-order with the new date, but I'm also curious to see if my shipment goes earlier than currently stated. If they can keep the price of the phone low, I don't mind a little lag in updates for shipment dates, especially if they're in the right (shorter) direction. I don't need phone until Christmas time (current OnePlus One will be going to college student home for holiday).
