5/31 "Go" time

Given the general concerns about availability of the KEYone for us here in the States, here is a 2 part question:

First - does being available for sale 5/31 mean at 12:01am Eastern time the site will be up and running and ordering can (and should if you want one) commence, or will be later in the am. What time did the Rogers pre-order go 'live' last night/this morning?

Second - I presume that first ordered, first get until they sell out of first batch of stock will be the rule of the day. Agree? Ready for an all-nighter of refresh screen until live ordering pops up if that is what it takes to get one of the first batch and avoid the dreaded 'out of stock' notification...

Really hoping that the Version 2 is available as well on the 31st as the site would lead us to believe...

Man - I need to get a life!

As much as I need a replacement for my Passport, I am not going to stress out about getting one.

..... I hope......

12:01 am 5/31 will be my ordering time. Hehe.

How would anyone here know any of this?

Again, it's just more of the same--people making things up out of thin air to hear themselves think, and others perpetuating it as their own echo chamber.

Rogers went live with pre order around 7am ET this morning

BlackBerry and TCL probably don't even know.

No, they told us about 5/18 and 5/31.

I doubt they're gonna be all sitting around a table pressing the launch button at 12:01 AM haha. Expect it to go live in the early hours of the business day between 7-9. Can't guarantee anything. Just be excited!

Hoping I can order from multiple sites at 12:00:00 am on the 31st.

The more stores the better. Would be nice if Staples got it since I have store credit.

I picture morning of June 1st. I think apple is the only one that does 12:01am pre orders with carriers. Its crazy even though they ship millions first day, 5 minutes late to order and your ship-date may slip a week or 2.

May just follow a similar pattern as the Rogers launch. Early morning sometime. I just hope they have enough stock to handle the initial batch of requests.

I took a look at an old email and it looks like preorders went live about 9am EST for the Priv, but that was through digitial river and it was for a preorder.

With my luck I wouldn't be surprised if they release it May 30 late at night and by the time I wake up and check on May 31 it will be sold out.
