However I also understand that any delay may be unacceptable and inconvenient for you. Therefore should you wish to revisit the mobilefun.com website and choose an alternative item that is available in stock for immediate dispatch, then please reply to this email and include the product reference for your preferred item (This number can be found on the product description page of the website to the right of the image, under the product title). Your request will be processed as a priority.
I've now heard October, November, and December release dates. Although the October release date was from someone very close to the Gear VR project, I'm not holding my breath, as there could have been any number of setbacks.
