So, who's got a Diamond pre-orderd. If so - where and how much?
I ordered mine from Expansys last week when the price was still: £443.70.
Expected Thu June 19th.
Also pre-ordered the stand from Clove: https://www.clove.co.uk/viewProduct...Category=CB077B5C-390D-4153-8EDD-44D1B2BEF716

T-Mobile will carries Diamond
I read somewhere that HTC Diamond will be coming to one of the major wireless carriers in the U.S, and it will likely be t-mobile. I hope they are right, because for $299 with 2 years contract for this beauty with T-mobile. How sweet is that?
You have to be having a laugh, a two year contract and purchase price of $299 they are taking the p*ss
I wouldn't bother to be honest it is a lot of cash for a yesterday type device, the spec just doesn't come up to the standard I would need to switch from the 18 month old P3300 Artemis or either of the newer devices I am currently using - Mike
Spoke to a manager today at the Bell store.
They told me they are very sure the phone will be coming to Bell stores on May 3rd. Pricing was not 100% positive but is expected to be around $650 no contact, which is almost identical to the $640 projected for the USA.
(old news) You can pre-order the phone for 50 dollars from most of the various carriers. This is a DOWN PAYMENT.
Just figured I would share since it seems Canada isn't getting too much love Looking forward to the launch
PS. I looked at the Xperia ZL while I was there and it was a very nice phone, I don't get what all the screen fuss is about.

AFAIK Virgin Mobile Canada is getting it on April 26th. I would expect Bell to get it on the same day.

If it's like last year, the phone will be $50.00 cheaper @ Virgin. So get your phone from them if you are with Bell.

Ah, I must have missed that post, thanks. None of the other threads here on XDA have mentioned it.
PS. I did tilt the screen, it wasn't that bad IMO.
Do you have any information about the 32Gb version? Phone reservation is only available for the 16Gb model...
no scheduler about 32gb version
Hmm, Pre-Orders are open now, phoned several bell stores that confirmed they will have them in stock on April 27th.
It will be 699.95 Off contract or 199.95 on a 3 year contract or upgrade.
I cant post links but the infos on bells website
They will only be in stock for those with all the pre - order paperwork AND picture lD. And you must pick up the preorder before May 3. And you must prepay the entire amount. Can't wait!

Perhaps it depends on whether it's a Bell Store or another retailer. My receipt is very specific and the service person said for the last pre-order they got only exact numbers.

Is it available right now though? I was supposed to get mine Saturday. Got a call and $50 credit Friday and a text Saturday dating I could pick up in 2 days so I'm going Monday after work.

who else did a best buy pre-order? i was going to do in store pickup, but then i saw a best buy faq page saying
"Q: I never received a notification that my Samsung Galaxy S7/S7 edge is ready to be picked up, even though I pre-ordered it?
A: If you haven't received notification that your Samsung Galaxy S7/S7 edge is ready to be picked up it means the store didn't receive enough of the model you pre-ordered to fulfill you pre-order at this time, or they haven't physically reserved your pre-order yet with the inventory they did receive."
and I def didn't wanna chance that..knowing my luck, they wouldn't get it. so i just did shipping.
it says it'll arrive BY release date of march 11th...anyone ever have any experience getting a best buy order before? i never used them for shipping before, so I'm wondering if i'll definitely get it ON march 11th.
pumped, though! played with one at best buy today and it's a nice phone. have my Moto X up for sale (since I use my note 4 so much more than the X) so i'm excited to get it!
I did bb pre order for an iPhone and hopefully Sammy is better. All stores get an allotment. Some for preorder and some walkin.
I cancelled and went to sprint that time. Some preorders were not filled for 5-7 weeks! Again that was an iPhone thing, hopefully Sammy sends out plenty!
Well the reason they didn't get a notification that it's ready to pick up is that it's not been released yet...
I'm also interested to know..if you buy online and ship to your home address will it be shipped on or before 11th? Or will it be after this date?
I mean when you click "when will I get it?" or whatever, it says on release date, 3/11 so I'm guessing they ship out prior..

Response from bestbuy cs said the 11th or the day after is *expected*. They dont know for sure or they cannot say, but most likely they just don't know at the rep level.
---------- Post added at 04:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:23 PM ----------
In the past, now get this, they have said the get it by date is not when you get it, but when they get it
I don't know if it means much, but T-mobile has started shipping pre-orders. Mine is scheduled for UPS Next Day Air delivery tomorrow. They don't have to wait to ship, but they won't give you a date before the release date until they actually ship it.

see, that's absolute bs. if you go to best buy right now on the website and check the phone, and clikc "see when you can get it" for shipping, it says:
Get it by:
Release Date, Fri, Mar 11 - FREE
Standard
See final shipping costs in checkout.
so that's plain english stating you WILL get it by release date, correct?
day after won't happen since it's saturday and they definitely aren't doing saturday shipping.
this is just annoying because it needs a signature they claim, so i need to know if i should take off that day or not, ya know?
*edit* FWIW, not that reps know too much, but i did the chat and this was the transcript:
Thank you for choosing Best Buy, my name is Abraham. How may I assist you today?
28-Feb 03:39 PM
good afternoon, i've preordered a galaxy s7 for verizon, and the release date is march 11th. now, when you goto the device page and click "see what you can get it" it states you will have it on release date, march 11th.
28-Feb 03:40 PM
is this confirmed?
28-Feb 03:41 PM
Good afternoon! That is great that you pre-ordered the new Galaxy S7!
I'd be more than happy to assist you with your questions. Yes, you will be able to receive it on the 11th of March.
28-Feb 03:42 PM
perfect, so since signature is required, i may have to take off that day as i don't know what time it will come
28-Feb 03:42 PM
so it's 100% safe to say that on march 11th, UPS will deliver my S7?
28-Feb 03:42 PM
That is correct, you will get on the release date.
28-Feb 03:43 PM
perfect! thanks for your help today, abraham
so who knows. maybe we'll be lucky!

tmobile is always awesome with shipping phones early. wish best buy would too lol. i'm buying full price, so i didn't bother with verizon...and i know verizon always gets it to you on release date, but i've never pre ordered from best buy.

The Note 5 was the first phone Verizon ever shipped early to most people.Got mine a week early.Hope that was the start of a trend of early shipping by them.
I preordered, then a day later canceled. I wanted the free VR wear and the SD card but I didn't want to get roped into the stupid AT&T's 2 year $26 a month deal

Why didn't you just order the AT&T "unactivated" S7? It still comes with the VR and SD card.
Hmm not sure I saw that. Must have missed it. Is that where you pay upfront full price? I think ultimately I want to see what the models are like when they come out. I currently have tmobile s5 with AT&T sim. May want to buy another tmobile if they're unlocked bootloader. The whole SIM locked phone idea has me wondering though. Ie first sim installed, locks phone to carrier.
Preordered mine thru bestbuy.com hopefully they ship early. T-Mobile is doing so. So anxious!

Best Buy Mobile employee here, the way pre orders are usually explained are that when you pre-order, there is a chance you won't get it on launch day but you WILL get it before someone that just walks in to buy it without one. I personally haven't seen many stores run out of pre-order stock.
Hope that helps!

Do you have any insight on shipping? Do you think getting it shipped to your house will get it there sooner?
Cheers

I'm 99% sure (at least in my store) you can only do in store pick-up if pre-ordering in store. Haven't heard otherwise about online pre-ordering.
EDIT: The info I posted is for if you are doing it through a contract/installment billing. I think if you get an unlocked or T-Mobile (we don't carry T-Mobile contracted phones in most stores), it's different.
thanks for the insight. I didn't pre-order in store, though. I did online. I was contemplating in store pickup until I read that there's a chance they may not have stock for all pre-orders... so i just did shipping. so any idea whether buying full price and getting it shipped should be here early? the chat rep said we'll have it the 11th for sure.

I did the same as you. Paid full price and selected to have it shipped to my house. AT&T version. I went Best Buy over AT&T because Best Buy is typically better about returns and don't charge you any fee, Best Buy offered a free 64 GB microSD card, Best Buy is actually sending out the Gear VRs instead of just sending you a code to get one from Samsung, and finally, I had a $20 Best Buy gift card that I need to use lol. Best Buy is notorious for botching pre-orders, so I'll just be happy if we get it on or by the 11th. I doubt we'll get it early.
