I didn't see this posted but a friend/source of mine says that AT&T will be releasing the Fuze in the states November 3rd for $300 after $100 rebate.
Flame on if I missed this as obvious news
Date for ATT Fuze
Hello, Release is listed as October 23 for the Fuze release. ATT is releasing the Omnia around that date as well, I do believe the O is on the 21st.
Jon/Beachboyde
Still a close date. This is based on sales sheet information from today.

How did you not take the time to read that thread and realize there was no date mentioned...just a link to an engaget post about it coming 'sometime' to ATT

Read the entire thread. There is a stock sheet saying 23rd. Regardless, it's getting close. As far as the thread in this section, you're only a month or so late =p

ive been keeping up with that fuze thread since it started and the fuze thread before that. i saw the sheet with the 23rd on it thank you
are you the same person who put on engadget the 3rd with no evidence?
Really guys, really? Are you going to get on this kid for posting useful info when all you have are unreliable dates from a sheet (check the releases of the other phones, they don't all match up)? I'd definitely believe his November 3rd date.

Thanks for the support.
Sadly, no, I did not post on engadget and have only posted here. I don't have proof other than the text from my manager buddy who said he got a price/release date sheet and the Fuze was on it for Nov. 3rd.
I'm not a newb and didn't go around flailing about with this date. Just posting some info I got is all.
wow, people are gettin' grumpy lol fella releases some honest info, and get shat upon lol.
Hurry up ATT, the junkies in this forum are startin' to itch...
p.s. @OP, TY for the info! <3
Instead at looking at sheets or taking people's word for it I'd rather believe my local ATT cooperate store which tells me they will have the phone avaiable one week after their training on the 16th of this month. Putting the release date at the 23rd.
Earlier the better but I trust corporate stores as much as the government.
well if it doesn't come out until Nov.3 then that puts it close to the release time of the Touch HD. I still haven't made up my mind on whether to get the fuze just for 3G or get the Touch HD and use it on Edge like my Touch pro now and enjoy a much larger screen and better camera.
Nov 3rd seem like it could be true i dont see why people or bashing on him for giving us some info...i remember the diamond had a release date that everyone thought was true but it didnt release until a couple weeks later for sprint...all we should care about is that its actually will come out for ATT...oct 23 and nov 3 thats less than 2 weeks apart from one another...thanks for the info by the way
I'm only saying that giving info without proof is why everyone is upset. By the way the guy waiting for the Pro or the HD thats an easy one Touch Pro since the US will NEVER get a Touch HD in the US, it's already been officially said that there will be no touch HD coming to the US. Also I'm not sure if some have had bad expierences with cooperate stores in the past but my store last year gave me a date for the TyTn II release last year and they had it in stock a day early so yea I'm inclined to believe them, the NYC cooperate store near my house is usually very reliable and don't guess release dates like some other places.

I'm not trying to start a fight and am glad that the 23rd may be a possibility too.
I wouldn't be myself if I didn't say this though...where is YOUR proof You can't get on my case with 'well my store told me this'.
I mean this in the lightest of moods, so don't get angry...besides, after reading, it looks like this device suffers from the same "it's a business device, not a media device BS" that I got with my Tilt...and I won't go on that train again.
Well, if it comes on the 23rd then at&t will beat sprint out of the gate as the sprint version has been pushed to Nov 2nd. Plus, I have not seen any official previews of the fuze anywhere on the net. Or did I miss something..? The sprint version has youtubes all over the web with official previews.

Yes, and at the time that sheet was released Sprint's Touch Pro was set to release on the 16th. Sprint's got pushed back to November 2nd, and I believe the exclusivity still plays a role in the fact that they're the first carrier to get it, so AT&T may have had to push their date back to the 3rd. It makes perfect sense, and the training dates wouldn't be delayed if they already had them set up.

exclusivity i believe doesnt push others back when one carrier delays theirs.
like how att keeps delaying their bold im pretty sure other carriers can bring them out withint the time frame specified when att originally should have had it out

Feel free to post your speculations and release dates here. We can also use this thread to let each other know what stores has the device in your area. Please be kind to each other...and happy posting.
wow, that was fast. I think I'll now be jumping on the Friday, November 7th bandwagon, but i hope that my friend gets it in sooner.

A guy on AT&T forums just posted this:
"Guys,
Just kick up your feet and don't worry about the phone for now. It will eventually be at your local stores for you to enjoy, and it will be so worth the wait.
Guys.. Just think Thanksgiving. VERY close to Thanksgiving. I'll leave it at that.
Take it or leave it."
ya know, I think I am gonna stick with the 11/11 date that my wife told me about last week.
..so that's my bet... 5 pesos on 11/11
My local store told me less then a week. ;\
I was just told they were expecting it very, very soon. In a matter of days.
I don't believe we will see it until the week of the 24th as well. No stores have gotten any preliminary info and that is a pretty telling sign right there.
I wonder if the Fuze will be a part of any black friday deals. I would doubt it if just released that week. I would like to see it more in the $250 range because I don't think it is worth $350 and waiting 10 weeks for the 50 rebate, but I will probably ending up spending it anyway and dumping the Tilt on Ebay.
well given how they are releasing phones the epix came out like two weeks or a week ago bold came out today so i give the fuze another week or two it's definately coming out in november though
youngbusiness19 on the AT&T forums reported that he was able to get one from a store in Ohio.
Can anyone else confirm that they've obtained one?

yeah, so it will still be vaild for easter
I just called a local store in Indy and was told "We don't know when it'll be in. It's been delayed I think. I'm the manager and I would know!"
If he's the manager and "would know," he should be able to tell me and not just "think."
A little different answer
Not really important but... I called a major store in Denver. Lady has known of it some time as her job is dealing with new releases. She said that they were supposed to have displays up already but the materials are not in so they are behind schedule. She expects it any day. Also a sales person is getting trained on it tomorrow and hopes to know more then. Only significant thing is that they knew of it and were supposed to have displays up by now.
this sucks. im pretty sure black friday week is right. they dont want to have to put it on discount probably
guy at my local store who has been letting me know just said thats when they will get it
I just called a local store in Queens for the billionth time today and they don't know when its coming but it will be coming sometime in the future.

If I worked at an AT&T store I'd just answer the phone with "We don't have the Fuze, if you're from XDA please leave me alone, is there anything else I can help you with today?"

Employees in Huntington Beach, CA store said next week.
I still say it has to be sooner than 11/25 because that is when the ATT rebate ends. And why would they include the Fuze in it if the phone isn't even going to be released by then. So I say it can't be Black Friday (11/28).
I was told next week... though previously told today... as far as black Friday and not wanting to discount it, well... they're in control... they can release it tomorrow and that doesn't mean they have to discount it. So, I don't see any reason they'd have to wait until then.

people stopping in, calling in ... would drive me nutz.
The best buy store i pre ordered at said it will still be selling on the 17th!! An they will not be selling in the verizon store same day!!!!
BestBuy has an exclusive on launch date!

Thanks for the tip. Was the screen plastic?
No its Glass! I would never consider a plastic screen.
Sense seemed to fly. best looking phone ive ever played with. But in the end if the 4g is not $30 unlimited like i was told i will be skipping this and getting an iPhone. The only that makes me getting android worth it is unlimited 4g.
I still think iphone is the most complete phone. But i will be getting the thunderbolt just for the 4g.

Good to know its glass. Good sign.
Called the local Best Buy and they are telling me they do not have a release date set. Checked more into verizon and was told that HTC has posted an information block on the phone till march 31st. Found on engadget an article about a picture block and because of posting rules I am not allowed to post the link. Horray for spam control rules.
I am hoping next week would be the time but verizon and Best Buy are reporting that they do not have a release date and that "soon" is all they know. Was told soon for verizon could be a week to 6 weeks.
All speculation, trust no one
Only when there is a public anouncement is when we will truly know

Would be nice if they would give details outside of "we will be selling this phone but, we won't tell you the release date". They should have announced it's release along with the date.

I agree, maybe they are waiting to see if its worth selling the 14th/17th because of a dud in iphone sales
Or is the iphone is a hit (which it is not) then they would post pone the TB
all speculation though
one thing i think is funny that the Verizon Iphone is becoming a dud. most people who wanted a iphone already switched to ATT so whats the big deal about getting wht someone already had for awhile
I think if you're going to offer pre-order(Best Buy), then you'd better have a hard launch date. Offering pre-orders without one is a poor business practice.
Oh great more rumors about launch dates...

I agree. No offense to the OP but we need to stop making these threads. Its just going to be harder to find information in the General thread when the device is released. Having 20 release date threads is kinda pointless.
Wait till its released, the development section is going to be flooded with requests for roms

The iPhone is far from complete friend. It may be pretty and polished... and what it does, it does well, but complete isn't a word I'd use. Imagine using your phone all the time with your app drawer open and no access to your notification bar pull-down... there you go, an iPhone OS...
Guys I just prefer the iphone, but am still getting the thunderbolt because of the 4G.
And also as i stated before the bestbuy store i preordered at had them in stock a whole closet full!!! And will sell to me on that date.

Every single BB employee that has posted on the forums has said none of the stores have gotten any stock in at all yet. Also why in the world would BB release the phone on the 17th? That is a Thursday and no one has ever heard that date mentioned by any of the sources out there. It has always been either the 14th or the 24th, the date makes no sense.
Hmm every BB employee? Wow thats amazing!
Funny in these forums ive posted the STORE LOCATION, CITY AND STATE.
But i guess your right.

The 17th is only relevant due to Verizons habit of releasing on Thursdays. Highly unlikely that that's the date. IMO if it were the 14th, we clearly would've heard officially about it by now. If it were the 17th, same thing. 24th...well I think we need to heard about it sometime next week, sooner rather than later for that to be plausible. I just don't see it being released without some sort of ad campaign prior. Until I see ad's I am being pessimistic.
You know what im changing my tune , you right. Its not out till its out. Theres no point sweating it. If i get it when i assume im happy if not....oh well.
Am I the only one who noticed the thunderbolt ad in the best buy insert of todays newspaper? $250 w 2 year contract and $750 without... ouch. Sadly I will have to dish out the $750 when I get this phone :/

@timothymilla I dont get your last post.
you titled the thread "thunderbolt launched today" Did you deny that?
Either way no biggie i post a photo of the flyer so people can get the $250 price and not the 299 price
Saw the ad in the morning, called BB to see if they had any in stock and was told no Verizon did not release them yet. Asked them when they would be released and I was told Verizon did not give them a release date yet. At least in Eastern PA.
I guess I should have included a ? At the end of the title. I was just confused, I saw the ad and assumed bb would take my $750 for a phone today and give me what I wanted. But that last post answered my question.

Just reserved ($50.00) my thunderbolt and bought screen protector, rep said release pushed back to the 26th February.
I have my doubts for a Saturday release (26th). I would bet more on the 24th or 28th.
Now android forums is saying March 24th.
Next some dingbat will say July 4th.

I find it kinda weird that its already in best buys ad... its gotta be out sometime before March. But than again even Verizon hasn't released an official date yet.

Anyone has more news on the release dates and availability in US soil?
This thread is intended to gather all that information, the different available version at launch and prices
so far ive heard mid/late april and also may 7 which i thought was canadian release date, which could always be tied in with US release,
either way....hopefully this thread can help get a better idea of the US release
I guess we will probably get it the week after singapore release.

The release for this baby is 'early April' according to Asus, so we won’t have to wait long to find out the official pricing (considering April is, you know, here).

Darn, I got excited when I read the thread title.
i've waited too long the fever is cooling down.
they are out of supplies in taiwan, and due to japan earthquake, parts were delayed. i'd be surprised if they'll have enough to display in every bestbuy store by end of month.
I saw dates of April 19 being mentioned in various places, but more likely in other forums. None of the etailers like amazon have anything on it either, although newegg lists the 32GB version but no release date or price. Japan situation is really bad though so that could be reason of no word from asus. If there really is a big delay and it goes into May I might just wait and see what the samsung 10.1 situation is as thats meant to be released June 6 or 9.
OMG I desperately want this tablet. At first I was all for the Xoom, but my interest in this tablet has grown exponentially daily! I just hope that it's out in bestbuy by my birthday, April 23rd!!

Well i hope the 19th is accurate because my birthday is on the 18! easy way to justify the purchase! but given we're a week away with no word, can only hope now.

Amazon UK are now saying preorders will be dispatched on the 1st of June. That could mean the US release is pushed back at least that far.
I really hope it goes up for sell sometime in April. Not sure I can wait much longer....

How could that be? Didn't the Transformer go on sale very recently in the UK? So, couldn't someone in the UK just walk into a retail store as we would in the US and pick one up - or is it really that backed up/not available in stores?
Anyone working for bestbuy, or with friends working there or friends of friends or ... that can spill some details?
We promise we won't say anything and we'll keep this just among us...
i envy you guys...i was waiting for tmo's gslate until i saw the transformer..but my needs changed and i'm dropping my gal tab since i picked up the asus eee slate ep121....and although i will miss android...i cant say enough good things about this slate

Amazon always tends to play it safe to try and avoid extra calls etc. However, as soon as they have the stock available they will ship it out ASAP and I am sure that will not be June.
Now I just wish we would get a US release date!
Here they talk about the 18th, but I don't know how reliable this source is:
http://www.pdfdevices.com/asus-eee-pad-transformer-hacked-even-before-the-us-release/
I hate to say this but, if it was anytime in April, I would think that we would be able to pre-order.
At this point I may be moving forward with the Iconia....
i was debating on the acer jsut because the US hasn't even heard a thing about a release date, but i don't know if i can push myself to do that lol
ill probably end up waiting, but it would be nice if we would hear ANYTHING confirming any release date in the states
