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.

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
Just in case anyone doesn't know, if you type in "25percent" in the promotion code section of the AT&T Fuze checkout you get 25% off. Saved me about $90. Didn't see it posted here on a cursory search so just thought some people would like to know.
sweet.. i'm just about to purchase a fuze right now for my brother.. will buy one for myself probably next week.
Also if you check out http://www.retailmenot.com/view/att.com its got a couple more.. its stated there that the EWC50 code which gives you $50 off can be used multiple times, so 3 times for a total of $150 off...
Amazon sells it for $175 with $25 rebate. Just placed an order and hope I can get it before the Thanksgiving holiday.

If you read the amazon reviews people are getting their confirmation email and its telling them that they will receive the device end of December...
I had initially placed my order for this phone through Amazon but then I was quoted a December 31st ship date! I thought there must be some mistake so I called their help desk and told them I had ordered the phone and even paid for one-day shipping and they told me it didn't matter because they weren't actually getting the phones at their warehouses until mid-late December! I wouldn't wait up, I guess.
I bought mine in an AT&T store for 370. Can I return it and get it cheaper some other way? And STILL have it on my plan?

That's incorrect, they are in stock at Amazon now (they originally were due to be in stock this Saturday, Nov,22nd, I guess they got them in a day early), I ordered mine this week and will have it early next week from them I can get the $25 rebate for sure, though Premier has a $50 rebate and I may try for that.
Edit-What reviews on Amazon did you read? There are only 2 reviews on there for the Fuze, and neither one even mentions email form Amazon-

oops, not reviews, but in this discussion. The original poster is given an estimate of dec. 31st and 2 others say their estimate is dec. 17th. But the latest post mentions that they are now back in stock and there is a little trick he did (change shipping method then return it to original shipping method) and it updated his estimated ship date to the 26th.
Ahh, okay. I remember when they first showed up on Amazon's site, the page said they'd ship in 4-6 weeks, then this past weekend that changed to Nov.22nd. Now they are showing them as in stock, so I am guessing they got them in a day early.
Edit-From their site tonight-
HTC FUZE Smartphone, Black (AT&T)
Buy new: $499.99 $174.99 (when purchased with new service plan)
Rebates: $25.00
Price After Rebates: $149.99
In Stock
Eligible for FREE Super Saver Shipping.
I ordered mine with 1 day shipping, if they're in stock it should ship out today and be here Monday, though the date is still showing the 26th (I originally had 2 day shipping selected). Those are estimates, so I'm sure they update them as they go.
ahh ok, yeah i noticed that about 2 days ago when i was researching options to buy the phone.. but just realized right now that amazon is out for me because:
4. You are not attempting to upgrade a family plan. Amazon.com cannot provide extensions on family plans.

oh well.. i guess i just have to get it from at&t, which isn't a problem its just that my premier discount isn't showing up when i try to upgrade device online.
Yeah, that's the one thing Amazon doesn't do is Family Share Upgrades. It's kinda odd, because you can do them at letstalk and wirefly.
When I looked at upgrading to the Fuze online from AT&T, they showed no discount either, just the $50 mail-in rebate. I checked a little deeper and apparently my Premier isn't doing any discounts for it, or at least I can't find any.
Edit-Letstalk has them for $249 with upgrades (free after rebates on new lines only), and Wirefly has them for $224 after rebates for contract extensions.
I also placed an order with amazon on the 17th and the estimated shipping is also on Nov 26th.

Did you get 2 day shipping?
Edit-Since it's now showing the Fuze as in stock, I'd think our orders would ship out today, and that would move the arrival date up a day. Check again on your order, Nov.26th would be the arrival date.
I find that none of these codes work on an extension with a family plan. I did however try and mess around and got the EWC50 code work multiple times to get the phone for free if opening a new line. Don't think it would work though because they would probably catch it.

in the [Q] How much did you pay for your Fuze? i remember someone stating that they got it for $199.99 by upgrading on att premier site. Also another person suggests calling in before placing the order and making sure all your premier discounts are there and some even got the $18 upgrade fee waived.
Right now not even the $50 MIR is showing up for me, and my $100 upgrade advantage discount, which was there a week ago when i considering the bold, is missing as well. Like i said in the other thread, i'm just gonna hold out till black friday, and if i can't get a good deal then, i'll just call up att and ask why my premier discounts aren't showing up. I just hope they'll still be in stock!
It's the same on my Premier too, the rebate is missing now, though it seems to come and go, it's probably an error somewhere. Oh, I have an update on my Fuze order at Amazon-
"Shipment #1: Shipping Soon We are preparing these items for shipment and this portion of your order cannot be canceled or changed "
WooHoo!
Did you Pre-Order the Galaxy S4 from Best Buy as per this link? Pre-Order in store like I did at 3:27PM on April 16th? Let's post the updates here as to when you pre-ordered and when you receive the device, hoping I get an email from BBY in the next few days since the AT&T stores are shipping out theirs to customers today!
Also, any discussion on pricing, discounts, price matching, Phone Freedom should go here as well.... I paid the $50 to pre-order, have the $50 off attached to my account for Phone Freedom, and will hopefully get some money off with price matching, despite the new wording that says they don't price match contract phones! They told me in store while pre-ordering that they would price match Amazon, Walmart, etc (full list on this page) when I came to pick up the phone, so post your feedback with that as well
S4 coming soon everyone!

I pre-ordered in BBY yesterday. They told me they weren't sure when they would receive the devices, but that usually it's the same day as the in-store release. They also told me that pre-orders take priority over other customers BUT that the people who pre-ordered first would take priority over those who pre-ordered later. Basically if the store receives 10 phones, and you were number 11 to pre-order at that store, then you would have to wait until they received another batch of phones. They were unable to tell me how many phones they would be receiving. According to the BBY Mobile manager i spoke with, they usually receive the phones the same day as the carrier stores. So here's hoping for Friday/Saturday I get a call/email from my local BBY!
I was gonna pre-order from ATT, but when I spoke with a rep, they told me all orders after the 22nd would not ship until the 30th, all other orders are shipping today.
I just got back from visiting two BBY stores in my area, the one I had a pre-order at and a larger store that has a much larger inventory, in order to find out if they even received any in, and here's what I took away from the things both stores told me.... the STREET DATE for this phone is the 27th, Saturday, and even if they receive them in before then, they will not sell them early - if an employee is caught doing it, they will get fired, no questions asked.
When the HTC One released on that Friday, they received their inventory in on Wednesday, and emails went out on Wednesday telling people they could come pick up their pre-orders on Friday - the same should happen here, they should receive the pre-ordered S4's sometime before Saturday, and an email will go out, like bvic01 said, first come, first served, to those who pre-ordered.
I was first out of only two people who have pre-ordered at my local store, so they're all but guaranteeing that I'll get mine on Saturday, fingers crossed.....
I think I was only one of a handful that preordered in my store so I hope to get it on Sat.

When I pre-ordered mine, the manager told me that the day before the pre-order count for that store was 13. Im kinda nervous I wont get it the day it comes out. Worst case scenario, if I dont get an email/call by tomorrow, I may just try to get one from an ATT store and use the BBY $50 gift card for a case/screen protector or other accessories. I can always find an excuse to spend money at BBY

Exactly, don't know why people were hesitant to pre-order! Yeah, 13 is kinda high, don't want to crush your hopes or nothing, but if there isn't a large amount of phones getting shipped for launch date, sending more than 13 to one store is pushing it.... I HAD to order from BBY because I'm not going to say no to "free money" with the Phone Freedom $50 off deal, that's just crazy unless someone else had it for $50 off at the same time!

OK, so now im a little pissed. I just found out that even pre-orders on the 23rd have been shipped out overnight by ATT and are being received today. I called ATT on the 23rd and was told if I preordered through them it wouldnt ship until the 30th, even though the other pre-orders were already shuipping. They said everything the 22nd and back would ship this week. Well looks like they lied, everyone is getting theirs and Im stuck waiting on my BBY pre-order.

Technically, they shipped out on Tuesday, they did not offer overnight shipping unless you upgraded to it, but rather free 2 day shipping.... but yeah, AT&T moved up their ship date to the 23rd even though their launch date is tomorrow with the retail store sales beginning on Saturday - don't know what the difference really is, but Saturday you should be able to get one in store or at BBY if you pre-ordered!

Actually, go read through the last few pages of the ATT pre-order thread. Orders on the 23rd were upgraded to overnight without charge and without request by customer. There's reports of people checking their tracking to find it on the truck for delivery today. So the difference is, if I had pre-ordered through ATT like I originally planned, I would be getting it today. Oh well, I like BBY's device protection plan alot more than ATT's due to the no deductable. I actually carry both, ATT's in event of theft or loss, and BBY's in case I break the damn thing. lol

i concur with you on the best buy protection plan. you pay $5.99/mon for it. if you do anything to your phone, you take it back to them and they ship you a new or refurbished one that day (as long as the claim was put in before 1pm). i have used this service twice and both times i got my replacement phone 2 days later. seems to me to be the best protection plan for phones.

Yeah, it's just another few days, I'm not too worried! That's interesting about the two protection plans, how much does the total of them come out to be? I decided when I bought the SIII not to put any protection on it, SquareTrade has just gotten out of control with their prices, and I'm SO careful with my phones and tablets, it's ridiculous - to date, I have never used a case or screen protector on my SIII after buying it at launch last year, and it still looks brand new!

I'm upgrading on contract, and also talked to the girls at BBY about this whole "end of showrooming / price match" thing I posted links for already, and they said that without a doubt, it does NOT apply to contract phones, so they will not honor the price match at Walmart (which, don't know if you saw, is over - Walmart changed the price back to $198 already)
I asked them what the price matching applies to, and they said "cases, accessories, stuff like that," yeah, like I'm going to go into a store and say "hey, I found this $2 cheaper on Amazon, price match it for me!" They said that so many people asking BBY to PM online retailers when they would never order a phone online, and it didn't make sense to give away money even though people wouldn't find another way to buy their phones - like myself, that's the main reason I buy in store is because I buy so many things online, but I won't have a phone shipped to me, I just don't like the idea all the way around....

Thanks, no I hadn't seen the Walmart change. Not really a big deal tho. I did the buyback thing with BB when I got my S3 last year. I don't know if that's the greatest deal or not but I'm thinking I'll just add another line then get the S4 at upgrade price. Sell them back my S3 and then next year upgrade the S3 line to an S5. Or maybe I'll just keep the S3 for backup.

If the staff won't waste their time with the buy back program, I don't think anyone else should either! I asked them about that too, as in "who in their right mind would give up their SIII for so little?" I was going through eBay to get my phone ready to sell my SIII once I've got a fully functional (read: rooted) S4, and it said this, no joke:

Has this device got a planned UK release date at all? I cant find any info about when I would be able to walk into a brick and mortar shop and pick one up. It was announced 2-3 months ago, reviewed a month ago and still nothing. Its ridiculous. Same with the htc desire 820. Its like they are phantom phones. No info on expansys, cw or simplyelectronics websites. All a bit worrying.
Anyone know anything about a UK release?

I preordered mine on B&H Photo yesterday. Can't wait!
FYI, B&H isn't expected to have any to ship until November 13th, and that's most likely only for the first orders they've received.

Well, I personally have never seen an Asus phone in the wild, in the US. No major carriers sell them, as far as I know. It wouldn't surprise me at all if their projections were low. Maybe newegg got 10 phones, also expecting a lukewarm turnout.
I can't speak to Asus' presence in North America outside the US though. Maybe it's bigger in Mexico and Canada and Belize.
For anyone interested, Amazon finally got a few: https://www.amazon.com/ASUS-ZenFone-Factory-Unlocked-Phone/dp/B0756JGS78
