The Note 5 became available for pre-order directly following the big unpacked event announcement. I preordered mine from Verizon the very next day. The phone is not scheduled to release until August 21st, but some people are already beginning to receive their pre-order units. I have been following my tracking info. Mine was shipped yesterday and actually left memphis this evening. It is set to arrive on Tuesday which is still a whole 3 days early! I love when pre-orders ship early!
