There didn't seem to be any pattern to who got the 2-3 week message and who didn't. In hindsight though, I think Wirefly knew about it and starting giving everyone the 2-3 week ETA. People didn't seem to realize that Wirefly aka Simplexity is fairly large and they provide services to Radio Shack, Target, Best Buy, etc. They all assumed that Wirefly was the small guy and all allocations of the phone were going to Sprint preorders only.
