Wanted to order mine today but there is a stuff up on my account. I chose to not open a Gold account when I applied last month now there is a three month waiting period to upgrade.
Lady didn't mention it on the phone, so I'm fuming.

I'm going to do the same to my Vodacom contract in August/September. If the S3/HOX is not offered by FNB at that stage, I'll go for the S2 and port my number to one of those cheap Cell C contracts.
And then when my 3G contract expires in October, hello adsl bye bye Vodacom.

How long had you been banking with them at that stage?

Look on the bright side, give's ou some time to think. By then you may have changed your mind or a better offer may present itself...

Well I sold my Desire a month ago and I'm using a Galaxy P1000 as a phone right now. Three months will kill me...

I joined last month. That's why it was a one click process for you.
Ok, so I received an SMS (11h54)saying that my smartphone has been ordered, and that due to high demand, delivery is taking longer than they would like... Also said courier will contact me to arrange delivery... Now I heard from them this morning that their courier is BrightPoint, anyone have issues with them...?
EDIT: As I was typing this reply, they called me to confirm my address(12h20)..... They said 2-5 working days. But reading on the net, I should take that with a pinch of salt..... Anyway, looks good for now, most probably early next week sometime....

I have received no word from FNB or couriers since ordering through internet banking yesterday.
@memphis32: When did you order and through which channel?
Damn, I wish the delivery was quicker - don't know how I am going to make it through this weekend while waiting for my device to arrive!
Oh well... will have to shop for some add-on's from Calamari.com to get me to delivery day....

Just took delivery of my Note...The package is still on my desk here... I'm going through all the brochures and stuff that came in the package....
Order confirmed on Monday, got the sms to say it's been ordered, and the call from BrightPoint to confirm address on Wednesday, and delivered on Friday(today) at 08h00 sharp.... I've got too much work to play with the phone, but as long as I have it....

Awesome and just in time for the weekend to play with it to the MAX!
I phoned their call center yesterday (2 days after my Tuesday order). The guy said it can take 3 days to be loaded on the system. My order was not on the system yet but he confirmed that I had taken up the offer......

You should of gotten your sms yesterday, but they will most probably send it today... Once you do receive the sms, expect a call from Brightpoint within 1 hour of the sms, then give them 2-3 day to deliver.... FNB however told me yesterday that I can expect my Note in the first week of July, and BP said 2-5 working days.... But don't let them confuse you....
Well, I called fnb on wednessday to find out the status of my order. For no reason what so ever they cancelled my order and placed an order for an ipad and insisted that I phoned them earlier to tell them to cancel the order for the S2 because it was a mistake and to order an ipad :wtf: 
Now they say it's gonna take another 3 weeks because they have to redo the whole thing
To top it off nobody there has a friggin clue about the stock levels of the S2 and while I was on hold I even overheard one consultant ask the other one "But it's (S2) been taken off the website?"
I'm not happy with fnb right now...

Strange though, FNB told me on yesterday, I'll only get my Note in the first week of July. But it's sitting on my desk looking at me the whole day... I wouldn't listen to FNB regarding stock levels, as they don't keep the stock with them, they use other companies to provide the stock. I know for the Note, and possibly the S2, it would come from BrightPoint, so best to place the order, let FNB do what they will. Once you get the sms to say it's ordered, usually after 2-3 days from order being approved, then ask them who is the supplier or courier and ask them.... Yesterday afternoon, a dude from BP told me they had no stock of the Note, but a look at the waybill info on the courier's website says that they collected my package from BP around 12 midday yesterday, so I most probably got the last of the Note stock that was there....
