NL are not picking names out of a hat. Both me and a workmate preordered over a month ago. We were both called on Wednesday evening by NL. We both had ordered black. They asked us both if we wanted to switch to silver and pickup today. I chose to keep my preorder for black and my workmate chose to swap to silver as he really wanted silver anyways. Sure enough, he was contacted today and collected his this afternoon. So I think that NL chose the first 30 preorders and gave them all the stock they got. I am hoping my black one arrives sometime in next few weeks. Until then I will have to live with my choice to hold out for black.

So, I made my preorder on October 4. Haven't got any call. So you must've ordered before the 4th, correct?
I think that if you preordered the silver before me and my workmate did that you should have received one of the 30 that NL received. But I have no idea how they worked out who got one of the first 30.

I guess so. Doesn't matter now. Just ordered one of the pbtech units. They said it'll be on a courier Monday. Canceling my noels order.
I absolutely love it. I only picked it up this morning but it was everything I hoped for. The only thing that I will change is that I am going to order the Pebble metal band for it because the current band is not as nice.
Grabbed one yesterday from PB Tech. After starting to go through all the motions to order one from Google Play or Motorola a while ago, it sure was refreshing to just walk into a store and buy it. Pleased so far, but battery life will be key in next 24-48 hours. If it's looking good enough, then I might grab a Z3 Tablet Compact to use as my primary device with it and eschew a phone altogether.
