That T-Mobile freebie you've been waiting for has been delayed for 'unknown reasons'

You probably never expected a water bottle to make not one and not two but three different headlines (in the space of just a few weeks) on a website primarily dedicated to phones and other (sophisticated) mobile devices, but here I am, giving you the news I know so many of you are interested in and nobody wanted to hear today.

This is definitely not the world’s most valuable freebie, but it will certainly come in handy… at some point.

A different source on Reddit (who also seems to know what he’s talking about) claims “shipment delay issues” are behind the highly unusual last-minute change. In other words, T-Mo may have had trouble procuring enough water bottles to satisfy your presumably sky-high demand, so instead of potentially running out of inventory within minutes of launching the deal today, a move to “either August 5 or August 12” was decided.

That definitely sounds like a wise call, even though it makes this week’s T-Mobile Tuesdays slate wholly unexciting… just like so many other past collections of similar goodies and offers.

It remains to be seen now if this unexpected delay will impact in any way the other big gift T-Mobile is planning to give all customers with no strings attached on August 26. Probably not, but it might be smart to not take anything for granted yet.
