ATT Fuze (Raphael) - November 3rd - $300

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?

This one doesn't have a date in the title, so it won't go obsolete regardless of how long AT&T waits to intro the phone.

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.

Black93300ZX said:
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?"
It seems everyone on here is calling every store within 20 miles of them.

im calling within 50 cause theres so few around here

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.

HTC HD2 on O2.........

Hi all,
Release date for the HD2 on O2 was yesterday, I have been trying my utmost to get hold of one of these. Does anyone know any insider information?
I seem to be getting different info from different O2 reps.
I WANT ONE NOW!

Nobody knows - but the best guess at the moment is next week at the earliest. O2 just can't seem to answer a straight question different representatives giving different answers. It could come out this afternoon but nobody knows

looks like its been delayed until november now

Gonna phone them again. They are all saying its due this week but can't tell me when. They say only once it shows on the system can they price it etc.

Next rep has said they are conducting tests on it and it will be released on the 26th November. I am so bloody impatient!

Getting around all the hype, I don't think the Palm Pre has been a fantastic seller for them and I think if the HD2 drops now it will leave them with a lot of unsold Pre's.... so they are holding it back for the that reason (pure guesswork on my part).

The HD2 was supposed to be "in the final stages of acceptance testing" last week.

How they expected the Pre to sell as well as their marketing implies that they expected it to, is a mystery to me - the Pre offers very little new or exciting, with the OS being the only real exception (and I've heard a wide range of opinions on the OS). The problem is, if they hold back the HD2, they're going to end up not selling many of those as most people who want one will have moved to a different network or got one unlocked (O2 is one of the worse networks now IMHO - presumably they spent all of their money on iPhone exclusivity and subsidisation rather than improving their network and offering good deals).
Why doesn't the BBC interview O2 about the HD2 instead of wasting time interviewing them about the Pre?

I agree

I think you might jus be right on that one my friend hopefully that wil teach them next time not be greedy and try to stock every handset under the sun

Yes, been pushed back to 3rd week November. However none of the reps I have spoken to are absolutely sure when it will be out, nor what the final pricing structure will be.
I am assuming they will definitely be out by December to catch the Xmas traffic.
WB

Lol,
they will be selling it on estonia at late october on early november.

T-mobile is also selling them on 6 Nov according to them. I guess O2 thinks they are special and people will wait for them

Keep an eye on this thread guys.

How do you know? One of the early excuses for an ambiguous date was that O2 didn't want the HD2 to hurt Pre sales. However, there's clearly a lot more demand for the HD2 and a lot less demand for the Pre than they expected, so O2 might decide to fast-track the HD2.

Latest from o2;
I called customer services and spoke to a guy who said they will definitely be getting stock over the weekend and it will definitely be on sale on the 26th October. I have now spoken to quite a few o2 reps and none have sounded as positive as this one. He didn't even have to go and ask a supervisor/manager/buyer........
We shall see!

Thing is, they were originally planning to launch the HD2 on 12th October, so that blows your theory out of the water. See here:

Of course he didn't have to ask a supervisor. He was just telling you what you wanted to hear so he could get you off the line and move on to the next customer with a genuine need of assistance.
I'm not trying to be nasty, but there's no way the HD2 will be on sale from O2 on Monday, when none of the e-tailers are getting it until 11th November at the earliest. So for the next month or so, why don't you be patient, leave the poor call centre staff alone and get on with enjoying your life. It's only a phone.

[Q] Buy or wait for what happens in Oct.

Sorry if there is any other post like this, I didn't find any in the search function.
I am wondering if it is worth it to plunge into this device or I should wait to see what happens on Oct. Supposedly the rumors are that there is going to be some new transformer or what not.
I'm kinda on the fence whether or not to just take the plunge and buy this tablet or just wait 2 more months... Help?

October is all rumors! There wont be new model this year, Im 95% sure and ordered one myself yesterday.
3G model is coming in next month, if you need that, but it will add the price too much for my needs.

I am in the same situation. With the christmas season right around the corner, manufacturers would be crazy not to introduce new models in the Oct/Nov window. I've heard that the new Kal-El cores from nVidia should be released in August as well.
http://www.engadget.com/2011/08/02/asus-next-gen-eee-pad-transformer-to-pack-nvidias-quad-core-ka/
That being said, I've been looking into the Transformer and Iconia and will probably just wait out the 2-3 months till the holiday season.

Thank you for your opinions.
I wish these companies gave better clues...
New article to add to rumors...

Its weird that they would release one around the same year they released this one.

That's probably never going to happen. Its in their best interest to make you think that nothing better will ever come along and you might as well get one now because you're just wasting time while everyone else is out having fun. The problem is that they also need to show investors that they are ahead of their competition with innovation and new products. So they are intentionally vague in order to put you right in the situation you're in...decisions, decisions
The truth is that just as you purchase your TF, something new will come out the week after. If you're wanting to be on the bleeding edge of a new tech, then it's going to cost you. I personally, like to let others figure out how to root my favorite devices then just buy them a beer. If it hadn't been for the $100 coupon floating around last week, I would still be waiting. If you want, you could even wait for the newest "Kal El" tablet to arrive then pick up a tegra2 for cheap!
Good luck, and make sure you can be happy with whatever decision you make.

I am confused...

Seriously, what the hell is going on with this tablet and it's release date?
I check these forums every day for months, and I just had to make an account to ask this. I see everyone ordering from overseas, the release date was supposed to be July 14th in USA, well what gives? It's July 25th and there is NO WORD ANYWHERE.
I am getting pretty frustrated so if anyone can give me a reason why there is no date set yet, or why Asus is being so god dam secretive about it like it is the most important thing in the world ever. Also concealing a release date offers no benefit to Asus. This is dumb as ****... /endrant
Anyone have any info yet?

A quick search of the forums will show many North American stores have been selling it since ~16th of July. You can order it online through many of the American retailers (B&H, Tiger Direct, Amazon, Best Buy).

Hey, I live in the US and I've had my Infinity for a week now. Got it from a domestic vendor too (newegg, specifically). It's out, trust me, just really in high demand and hard to find. I was lucky enough to place an order when Newegg just got a shipment in, and it was sold out within an hour.

continued ptedsel
Distribution of this tablet is trully wired. At the begining of June, I read that tablet will be aviable in England in late August.
I was very suprised, when I saw Infinity in shop in Poland. I did buy 64GB version with dock on 29 June without any problems.

Keep in mind we are a international community here at XDA. Mani are purchasing from outside the states sources because they are also out side of the states. You'll still have a little trouble getting your hands on one in store, but I ordered mine from amazon two days ago and it will be at my door today when I get home from work (I hope).

You can use the website http://www.nowinstock.net to see availability of the device in the US. Great resource for finding some of the hottest tech products.

Hey, thanks for the quick responses everyone. I have been avoiding ordering this online as I have had many problems in the past ordering devices online. Looks like I have no choice then...
Amazon has always been decent to me, I would try them except it says it would ship within 2 months....More waiting yay!

Can't be to hard to find. I ordered and got mine from best buy last week and decided I want one more so I called best buy here in Idaho yesterday. They said they would have 95 units in store this Thursday. If you look at LA California BB stores they all have been in stock since last Thursday.

Yes I see Amazon has the 32 gig in stock, but I wanted the 64 gig...
If anyone finds any 64 gig infinity in stock anywhere in America, I'd really appreciate you posting it here , thanks. As far as I can see, there are no 64 gb units anywhere in US.

$20 more than MSRP, but the C1 is the 64GB flavor.

I actually just ordered both the 64 gig grey pad and the dock for $750 total from Newegg. Both should be here Friday.
Get em while you can people!

so, it is available and can be bought
No need for this thread then
