This is useless information unless you walked into Best Buy and purchased one.

I have to wait 2.5 hours until the stores open in LA. Will post the availability later today.

It has been in the BB paper for the past two weeks as well. Ads mean nothing.

Same 'ol same 'ol no stock and no known date. May wait for the Bionic instead.

If you look at the details of the ad it clearly states "coming soon"
I also agree, at this point might as well wait for the bionic. The bionic release version will be fully optimized. I know it has been mentioned before that the TB scored better in bench marks but that was against a bionic with android that was not optimized for the tegra. I want to see the benchmarks on the retail products.
its gonna be a win win for consumers either way, not including tiered data.

Actually, on page 8 of their in store ad in fine print it says available in New Jersey.

That helps me. Im in NJ

I was very excited about the Atrix and preordered the phone only to cancel a couple of days later and I'm glad I did after I saw what kind of network speeds they were getting. I've decided I will not pre-order anything on a new network anymore. I'll let you other guys test the waters. I'd rather have an idea of what I'm getting and how much it's going to cost before hand, rather than making a lot of changes only to have to return something. Plus my Evo is getting better and better with Cyanogen anyway. I want to see what 4G will cost, what kind of data speeds Verizon will give the phones plus I have a couple of questions about the Thunderbolt itself, starting with the battery.

Likely same at Best Buy and Verizon. And Amazon and other online sellers will have it the same day, I imagine for $100 less or so as they do with other phones. I dont think the phone is much better than the Inspire 4G on ATT which sells for $99. So anything over 199 is too much for th TB I think.
Best Buy only has a retail store exclusive, not complete.

They normally set up the forum ahead of launch.
Sent from my HTC Desire HD using XDA Premium App
sure do.. there is a forum already for the optimus 3d and its been up for over a month.. and that phone doesnt even have a release date yet!!.. seriously can we get a infuse 4g forum up.. im planning on getting the phone on launch day!!
I wouldn't say it's being blackballed but........the SGSII, Atrix, and others had forums months before their actual launches. There has been plenty of mention of the Infuse in other forums to warrant its own, but for some reason the Moderator is holding off despite several requests/suggestions from others in addition to my own.
I'm hoping to see a dedicated forum up soon as well. Lack of xda dev support is my only real concern with this phone.
And speaking of dev support, I wondering what the unlocking situation will be. I have to comit to having someone buy it for me on Sunday as I am currently living out of the US. I hope I don't purchase it to later find out that there will be problems unlocking it. Although from what I hear, Samsung is pretty good about this stuff.
On another note, many of us are still wondering what the off contract price will be. Nothing seems to be set in stone just yet, but people seem to be assuming around $499.
Costco not selling Infuse until Sunday 5/15 even though coupon for $30 off is dated 5/12-6/5.

What's your source on that? Does Costco only sell to you thru contract or will they do it full price.

Questioned kiosk manager due to discrepancy of dates . They got memo clarifying. Believe they will sell at full retail, but no phone leaves building without being activated. Costco ultra conservative and won't jeopardize any business relationships.

went into a local at&t store today to get a sim card and asked about the infuse.. they had the phone there in stock and said it would be $599 off contract!! .. im hoping that it is not true and its only around $499 but that is what i was told from the at&t store... just sharing..

I know.... no forum for the Infuse sucks. I've been on some other forums and we're all hoping its $499 off contract. I'm trading in my Atrix on friday for this one and hopefully I can squeeze them to let me out with one early.

G2X Price Drops..?

Anyone else a bit taken back by the drastic price drops on the G2X? Not in a good way... I feel like the G2X could be the Vibrant all over again...

"The best technology never makes you think about it. It's just always brilliant."
- LG G2X Amazon Page
I'm sorry but with all the problems this phone has against it (similar to the Vibrant): Overheating, Shotty Network/Data Connections, Reboots, Lock-ups it seems like T-Mobile is readying for another magic trick. Granted, from what I've gathered reading these forums certain problems (mentioned above) could be completely unrelated. I personally feel that the poorly tinkered network/data connect software T-Mobile f***ed into this phone coupled with the completely separate battery issues are reeking havoc on the phones in a variety of ways.
Just a thought.
As a past Vibrant user (unfortunately) I felt compelled to report the similarities arising again... and all the Vibrant base got [after their woes] was a ****ty Froyo update and the Samsung Galaxy S 4G releasing swiftly via T-Mobile.
I really thought the Vibrant must've been a fluke for T-Mobile, as it was my first leap into the smartphone & Android markets (came from a flip phone, no txts or data). Seems I was wrong in my judgement for trusting them with a second/different product. Don't get me wrong... This phone is great (in theory) but so far it is dragging with bugs and this leaves me torn... =/
Your looking into it way way to much..... All phones on tmobile go on a quick sale... I bought a vibrant for 250 starting my contract in august.... a month later I buy one for a add a line for my brother for 50 bucks..... Its just the tmobile way... A droid x is still 200 in my area.... And a epic 4g is 150

Hm... perhaps. I'll think it over a nice bowl to cool the thoughts down a bit lol, 4:20 is coming a little early this morning I suppose.
I guess I just want a phone that works [ultimately]... Seems like the T-Mobile way is to release half-assed, beta quality products (at least in these eyes, I understand experiences vary). I went along thinking T-Mobile was a great company until I jumped on the Android bandwagon. Guess one can't get too butt-hurt over a company acting as soulless as they do sometimes... it's in their nature. =/
Coming from a vibrant I see where u are coming from. It was the biggest pile of a phone I have ever had. It was also my first android experience after being an avid bb user.
I do see some short comings in my g2x but I hope things don't get bad. I also despise Samsung as a company and blame the vibrant fails on them. It seems ateast to me they push a product hard and never support it. They did the same thing on a TV I bought. After there lack of support on the vibrant I will never own another Samsung product. I just hope the g2x is not the same way.

I respect your point of view but I disagree with you.
I come from a Galaxy S 4G and this phone is way better and faster.
If you are experiencing those kind of issues, I would advise you to exchange it. I haven't really experience those kind of issues and the only real problem to me has been data disconnecting.
Now that I have flashed many ROM's I have come to the conclusion that EB 1.04 is the best and not many disconnections since I settle.

No longer a rumor.....Vigor approaches

Thunderbolt lovers get ready for big brother. Last topic I start was during rumor now the pictures have been released and the release date still looking like October. I can only hope the thunderbolt great developers follow up their work to this upcoming great phone. I plan on turning my thunderbolt into a testing phone once I upgrade and maybe doing a little coding myself. Just thought I would keep everyone updated on the newest upcoming 4GLTE HTC phone.

I have been with verizon over 10 years and neither mom, dad, wife, or myself have ever purchased a phone for full price. And i have never kept a phone over a year. I just call in tell them I want to buy a phone and say I know my contract is not up but I wanted to know if i can get a loyality credit toward a new phone. And there you have it pay like $50 bucks to move contract up but you have to buy the phone right there and then. And some of the reps are lazy they won't do this for you just call back and you will find one that likes their job. My lastest upgrade came for free a few months after the thunderbolt came out I was having reboot issues on nonrooted phone took it into store can't be fixed, I was having dropped data for days at a time, needless to say didn't want a replacement thunderbolt so i got a free upgrade to new phone at 2 year price, then I rooted my phone and it fixed all my problems.

I don't pay full retail either but I have paid early upgrade fees. I don't think I'm going this route again. Technology moves too fast to play catch up all the time. The Nexus Prime may change my mind but we'll see.

Yeah, they eliminated those shortly after they came out with the thunderbolt, sadly
I agree with the author of the article, it looks EXACTLY like the Incredible. Specs sound quite pleasing though.

are there any good sales for this phone?

Long story short: broke my Sidekick, need a new phone.
the only phones I'm interested in is another Sidekick ($380), or a mytouch 4g slide (at least $500). problem is, even though my contract has run only a few months, it's actually cheaper to pay the cancellation fee (max $200) and switch to another provider than to buy a new phone unsubsidized, which afaik, is all t-mobile will allow. (kind of a screwed up business model, huh?)
so since its almost black friday in 6 hours or so,, does anyone know of a good sale on either Mytouch 4g slide, or even the Sidekick?
May want to check t mobiles website. You can always buy a refurbished phone as well.

thanks for the suggestions guys, but the only good deal I found at all was for the Samsung Transform Ultra, on Boost Mobile. so I went for that, I think I'll be pretty happy to finally have real stock android rather than a Sense/Touchwiz infection.
I did look for deals on tmobile phones, but they were all for new contracts and upgrades ONLY. I even got on the customer service line twice and explained to them that 1. I could not keep using the broken phone, and 2. the ONLY adequate replacements are twice the cost of cancelling; they did not seem to have a contingency for this. oh well, their loss. my new phone, of course, will have a protection plan, but still, Tmobile really should rethink their replacement system.

Just sell your cell phone contract to a third party.
well now that i'm on Boost, I've been noticing that If I started a new contract with Tmobile under the current black friday weekend deals, I could get this or several other phones free and then actually recoup some of the money I just spent, provided I return the Boost phone I just bought. so:
in general, how good is this phone? I noticed it seemed smooth and lagless in store, but of course that's just a store model without a bunch of additional apps from the market. I'm mostly wondering if Sense causes problems at all regarding compatibility with any apps, or stability problems that wouldn't be expected to happen on a stock 2.3 rom. I have a stock 2.3 phone now, so that could be a risky change; however, this phone I have is only $230 new, single core, and is known for a screen sensitivity problem that may get worse on my handset, but may not.
also, could I expect any problems or side effects from rooting? one of my goals in that, if I get the MT4GS, will be to quickly turn the "genius" button into a search button. that cause problems for anyone? I did the same thing on the Sidekick, and sometimes it worked, sometimes not. but it may have just been that particular phone.

Well said. Nobody deserves to have to use a LG smartphone.
I like the G2X but why would you buy a phone that is over a year old and has already been officially EOL'd. Buy yourself a new faster, 1.5 dual core with a Pentaband 3/4g radio, or wait for one of the new tri or quad cores coming out soon.

Agreed. If I were looking for a phone and a plan right now, I would be all over this deal. Not all of us can drop a large amount of money on a smartphone. The only reason I got this one instead of one of the MUCH cheaper, lower end phones was because my uncle gave me the money for it. He knew I was struggling and wanted me to have something nice for a change. He knew my contract was about to expire so he gave me enough for the phone and upgrade costs.
Ok, so that was probably too personal of a post but regardless, the moral of the story is that not everyone can afford a smartphone. Even though there are numerous complaints about this phone, to a poor person this is pure gold, lol.
It may be free but I'm stuck on a 2 year contract if I do that. I got this phone for free (without a 2 year contact) and I still hate it. It has an okay feel to it, but it's just too buggy and battery is just too terrible.
This phone only sucks if you are a newb and can't install custom roms.

The ville is dual core phone and all chip makers are showing nothing for quad core on a cell device before 2013.

No it just majorly sucks for those that don't install custom roms. It STILL sucks for those that do.
Thanks for the info! I was going to get tmobile last week and they had the mytouch 4G for freee and this week they have the G2x, which ends on thursday 1/19/12. So i guess i'll have to wait until friday and see what "higher" end device is free.
No, actually once you fix it, it is trully flawless. Install Bionix, fix mms, rip out the lg framework and any lg apps, set min clock to 300, Max clock to 916, and it'll run perfectly.

G2x is probably the best free phone they'll offer, usually its just the mt4g,sidekick4g,HD7,and dumb phones. Doubt the sensation amaze or Hercules will be free till summer rolls around.

I think they have had the mytouch 4G slide for free once or twice as well. Otherwise yeah the g2x is usually there best free phone deal they get

Most people who are looking for a deal/steal will go for the G2X even though it's an EOL fire sale which they won't be aware of. They also won't be aware of the lack of support for it. They will be sold on it because of what it can do for no $ investment compared to other no $ investment phones and they will be quite happy with it. They might even get a bonus if the class-action lawsuit succeeds.

I like the G2X but why would you buy a phone that is over a year old and has already been officially EOL'd. Buy yourself a new faster, 1.5 dual core with a Pentaband 3/4g radio, or wait for one of the new tri or quad cores coming out soon.

Umm!! Excuse me, but the g2x is not even a year old and I can overclock my phone to 1.5ghz and and get the same performance of a new phone. And still have money in my pocket.

I must suck since I really don't notice what's wrong with my G2x. Can someone make me suck less by pointing out what I should ***** about this phone? No. I am not kidding. I just want to know what do I miss.
