This news makes me very disappointed in the company's handling of their KickStarter campaign.
I backed their KickStarter campaign and ordered a white Pebble in May of last year, and I still haven't received it. So if I understand correctly, someone who walks into Best Buy next week will get a Pebble before I do?
While I understand the desire to stay out in front of Apple, Sony, and any other companies who may enter the smartwatch market, as one of the people who funded and helped make the Pebble possible, I am disappointed at how this was handled. The whole experience will make me think twice about backing KS campaigns in the future.

#3Honest question: Has anyone actually found a good use for their Pebble? I wore mine once the day after it arrived, felt totally ridiculous, and it hasn't left the drawer since.

Scott Hanselman got his already, but maybe that's because he has such an influential blog. He said it sucks, by the way.

I think it depends on if you wear a watch normally. I do and I've found that I use it most for doing things like getting texts while on the subway and not having to fish through my pocket to get out my phone.
Do I absolutely need my Pebble? Heck no. Does it make some things simpler? Yep.
To me, I funded a neat middle-step in wearable computing.

You aren't missing anything. I got mine months ago. It is the most disappointing thing I have supported on kickstarter. I would literally send you mine but one of the buttons fell off the first (and only) day I wore it.

Did you order a black Pebble or another colour? The black Pebbles have been shipping in large quantities for ages (I got mine some time ago) but the colour ones are taking a little more time to get right.
Assuming you opted for a colour other than black, you should still get it before the general public does.

#9I'm extremely disappointed by how Pebble have handled their entire operation.
I originally backed an Artic White Pebble on Kickstarter, they had issues, I switched to Black. And they sent me a watch without a Kickstarter stamp. As an apology I'm supposedly getting a sweat band - what?
Their entire operation has been mistake after mistake. And to be honest, that's no excuse for a company who has prior experience.

It looks like Best Buy are selling the black watches, which were all shipped to backers quite a while ago now (I've had mine for a few months).
While I can understand your frustration whether they sell black Pebbles to Best Buy or not makes little difference to when coloured ones ship since they go through a different molding process.
