We reported yesterday that T-Mobile had started notifying customers who placed pre-orders for the Galaxy S7 and the Galaxy S7 edge that their units were ready for shipping. Since the carrier didn't announce that it would be shipping units ahead of the official release date it wasn't clear if the customers were being notified because shipping labels for their order had been created or if their units had actually been put on trucks. Turns out it's the latter as Magenta customers have now started receiving their new Samsung flagships well before the March 11 release date.
Pre-orders for the Galaxy S7 and the Galaxy S7 edge went live on February 23 and Samsung has declared March 11 as the official release date in 60 countries. T-Mobile doesn't seem to be sticking to it though and it's not surprising since Magenta did exactly the same thing with the Galaxy S6 last year. There's a thread on reddit in which T-Mobile customers who have received their units are confirming that they have indeed got their hands on the new flagships before the official launch date and are obviously posting pictures to make all of us who have to wait until March 11 very, very jealous.
