[Official] CR-48 ChromeOS Laptop Shipment-Tracking


Recommended Posts

Regarding the E-Bay things on the earlier pages. Hopefully it gets handled appropriately because it only takes one greedy ****** to ruin it for everybody else who actually wants to either:

A. Test the device and provide feedback

B. Show if off and brag

C. A combination of the two

Sadly there haven't been any shipments anywhere near my part of the state yet. Hopefully that changes sooner or later.

If I reside out of the US, and I want to apply for one and have it shipped to one of my relatives who will then ship it to me, would this be allowed? Would it still operate properly etc.? (According to Engadget, there seems to be some AT&T wireless network thing, which I'm not too sure about.)

The laptop will work but I don't think the provided free 3g will work.

I applied for one in someone else's name yesterday - without telling the person. The person's ZIP is not on the list for today, so here's hoping they'll get one Monday. I'll know as as soon as I get a 'Are you behind this?!?' call from a rather bewildered non-geek person who has no idea of the pilot program or what Chrome OS really is... :shifty:

The specs list wifi and 3g separately so I believe it does have wifi.

It does have built in WiFi and 3G indeed. I am using the WiFi right now as I am typing this. When you choose the network connection icon in the top task bar area, the available networks also show "Activate Verizon Wireless". It says you are good for 2 years once you activate it before you have to pay Verizon (100mb a day). I will activate it once I get out of my house and actually need the 3G connection from Verizon.

I updated the pastie for AAC3, and it now includes zip codes for most of them.

How exactly did you pull the zip codes to add to this? The reason I ask is, the zip code you have associated with the one that I believe is mine, shows a zip code that is for PO boxes only.

My city only has (1) mailing zip code, and this other one you posted on the list is specific for PO boxes at the post office in my town.

So if you are just pulling the first zip code that comes up with the city, then the data isn't right...?

Is there a tips and tricks/troubleshooting thread for Chrome OS here yet?

There is now: https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/959950-official-google-chrome-os-discussion/

Wow so apparently this one is not mine!, it's funny because the ZIP on file at UPS is incorrect for the address it is going to. The ZIP is only good for the Post Office boxes at the local post office. So here's to hoping that person actually receives theres!

I must be dense but how would I find out if any are being shipped around my area?

Zip Code: 03275-3028

Well according to the latest post by Code.Red on http://pastie.org/1366486

that zip code nor suncook look like they are listed... keep checking back here when the list gets updated. Because I'm still not 100% sure how he pulled off that list. I know it has to do with manipulating the reference codes... But I'm not that hard pressed I'll just wait until one is provided by this great community.

Thanks, hoping I get one (never get anything). Would love to try one out!

I see others sent to my state but none near my location (its actually Pembroke but we share a Zip-Code with Suncook, they are too poor to get their own).

Yea, I actually had one being shipped to my zip but it turned out to be for someone else when I called UPS to verify the address. Lucky guy. I applied just the day before so maybe I still have a chance in the next batch. I'm going to keep looking.

Best of luck

Looks like some idiot got it on ebay. I wounder if he is breaking the ChromOS TOS? Don't Google want you to give them feedback once you have the device?

If this keep happening. Google will soon going pull the plug for pilot test project.

EBAY LINK

same county i live in, now i wonder if its the same person who lives in my town who was planning on putting it on ebay

btw the 2 people in my town who got them 1 works for the city & the other does not speak english at all

Weird! To answer your earlier question, for each reference, I get a list of all zip codes in the city and try the reference with each zip code on the UPS website until one works. Programmatically, of course :)
