i have not had a phone sense friday bro.. i know what your going through...
i got the 4G in the mail and had to send them it back before they would place the G2x order....
try going to tmobile store and see if they have a loaner phone for you to use till you get the G2x... (im sure your contract started when you bought the phone so if there billing you and your not using it then ***** youll get something done if not a decent credit)

I bought two phones from Wirefly and was told that it would ship out on the 20th. It was no surprise for me and I planned accordingly by ordering 2 day shipping for $8. It will hopefully be here on Friday.
I am getting each phone for $150 vs $250 up front = saving $200 up front
I also got free activation fees and free shipping= $35x2= $75 up front
I think saving $275 and waiting 2 extra days is worth it to me. It will be in my hands soon enough.
That sucks if you were never told this though. I thought I even saw it on the website.....

yeah. the rep i spoke with friday told me they'd ship it monday

I ordered from tmo. Got the tracking number but it has yet to be updated since "billing info received". =( I should have got at least one update by now. Ordered the first day is was available too.

DO NOT GO BY WHAT T-MOBILE.com SAYS! (there website sucks at current info)
i ordered mine also first day (4/15) and i didnt get a txt till staurday saying it will be delivered 4/20... then 10 mins later a txt saying it will be delivered 4/19 WITH a tracking number... it still says on the ups site that it isnt shipped yet...
i called a rep and she said she cant see anything till the 20th because it doesnt show inventory till its actually released (4/20) but i assume it will be here by the 19th and she assured me it would also....
t-mobile does not know whats going on... (people are getting txts saying it on back order)
and they cant tell you if it will be on back order till the 20th...
so to sum it all up...
if you got a tracking number (friday/saturday its estimated to be at your house the 19th... if you got a tracking number today... expect it to arrive the 20th)
hope it helps but that is all the info i could pull outta her...

I NEVER use their site to order, or to do anything. I always call 611. I put my order in Friday night at 7, UPS picked it up Saturday at 6am, and it's now on the UPS truck on the way to my house. If you call T-mobile, they'll give you (or should) a tracking number. Don't be surprised if it shows up on your doorstep today.

I've had a tracking number since Friday morning. The phone just showed up in the UPS system at 10:00AM today. The arrival scan was in Louisville, KY, a UPS hub. It appears that to save a few bucks T-Mobile's bulk transporting orders to the UPS hub. So what Nate said is correct, the estimated delivery date in the UPS system is accurate even if it shows "billing info received" and Friday's orders should be delivered tomorrow for those that went for express. Based on comments on the T-Mo forum they really screwed up the ordering process for the G2X.

I ordered friday and they told me it was backordered on the phone. However I got a txt Saturday with tracking and estimated delivery on the 19th. Tracking number says they have not received package. If I am to get it tomorrow then they should have the package by now.
Wish I knew when I was really getting it. :-(

Since we are on the subject of 3rd party websites. Cellhub just shipped out my phone as of today. Estimated delivery date is on the 20th. Paid $515.00 off contract think it was a better deal than paying 499 + tax + shipping from TMo

Cancel your orders, this is cheaper alternative $49
Listen, just cancel that Wirefly transaction while you have time! After you check this out, YOU WILL!

Also to each his own, if this don't pertain to you or you ain't interested, just mosey on by like you driving Miss Daisy! This is for the people that actually like keeping money in their pocket instead of just giving it away!
Oh yeah, and if you order today, you will get on the 20th because Fed Ex is 2 day shipping this and free activation. I know I can't wait to break the tape on that infamous box Wednesday!

Exactly.....saving the money is well worth a couple to even a few days of wait. I saved $100 going through letstalk. (Probably should have checked Wirefly.)

So I checked their page and it turns out they send their employees to submit all these reviews about how great their service is as a way of advertising for the company. But if you browse other reviews outside of Cellhub's website, their company is actually rated pretty low by previous customers.
Anyways, I finally got my Bold 9780 from Costco yesterday, and I absolutely LOVE it.

I actually almost bought the phone through Cellhub, but after a closer look during checkout I realized that they only offer the phone for free if you purchase an $80+ plan, otherwise the phone changes to $149, which is more expensive than almost every other store is selling it for, including T-Mobile. I think this is somewhat of a false advertising from their store, and I really dislike false advertisers lol.
So if you plan on getting a basic plan I would go with another store, or even T-mobile itself. I think that would be more trustworthy than a faulty advertising internet store.
I thought the name was familiar... cellhub.com was spamvertized in our blogs just before Xmas. Members may want to consider suppliers who are not associated with spammers.​

As I stated in my reply to these posts, to each his own. No matter where you buy the phone, you need to check the terms yourself. As far as people complaining about them, who doesn't complain about such and such company on here, for real the whole web if you wanna be technical.
I can honestly tell you I have had bad experiences with all three carriers. Their all crooks if you ask me, however if I want to use a cellphone or service, unfortunately I have to suck it up and go for what I know.
Research yourself and take the best deal. I don't care where you get the phone from online, I can guarantee there's some complaints about that company on the internet ( and I bet they have similar addendums on their contracts). I don't care if it's Amazon, Wirefly, TMI-Wireless, even Walmart.
Just google complaints for the company you ordered yours from, you'll see.
So, basically it comes down to doing your research and choosing the lesser of the evils.
Hope that helps.

Anyone know the numbers being dropped to stores? Plan on getting mine Wednesday at a retail location

A T-mobile store manager told me today, that each store would get between 10-20 units to sell.

Any stores selling today?

Has anyone heard if any AT&T stores have decided to sell the One X today since they were supposed to arrive to most stores today (to sell on the 6th)? Or any other stores, such as Best Buy, Radio Shack, etc?

several of the local stores here had the phone days ago...none of them would sell to me though...

Nope note yet. but yesterday I tried two different radioshacks(neither knew the phone existed) and an AT&T corporate store which has had demo units since at least last week who wasn't selling it yet. none of the stores around my job are selling it yet(financial district in manhattan). I'm thinking about trying some smaller stores out in jersey later on tonight to see if they are willing to break street date. gotta go buy my wife a mothers day present anyway heh.

The store I visited last Saturday said they were getting their shipment Monday and I could come check out the phone but they couldn't sell it until Friday. Whether he just mispoke or not...we'll find out here in a bit.

I tried all my local stores too. Dammit sell it to me lol! Man Sunday morning can't come soon enough!

I went to an official AT&T store (not a reseller) yesterday and the clerk at the checkout counter told me that he got an email saying they'll have the phones available for sale on Sunday the 6th. He also stated he wasn't sure if he was allowed to tell me that or not...
The sales person at bestbuy also told me that they'll have the phones available for sale on Sunday the 6th.
So... It looks like tomorrow is when us normal folk (non-preorders) can purchase the phone.

Anyone know why AT&T chooses SUNDAYS to release new phones? That's gotta be the worst & most inconvenient day of the week to do product launches! Sunday is family day for a lot of people, sports games on TV, etc. Why not Fridays or Saturdays, which would seem to make more sense?

Personally, I like that it's on Sunday. Sundays are usually a drag for me and I end up just sitting around doing nothing. Now I've got something to look forward to tomorrow.
But, I live alone, so I've probably got a different outlook than a lot of people.

Best Buy Pre-Order Update Thread

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 preordered mine through BBY. No news yet.

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!

Who told you this?

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

Kryptos, just curious, are you paying full or upgrading? If upgrading, will BB honor the $168 price of Walmart? That with the discounts would make it an incredible deal!

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:
At this point in time, the lowest Buy It Now price from an eBay Top-rated seller for an item like yours in Used condition is $425.00.

Could not believe it, but that's the truth! If you don't want to be hassled for the time it takes to eBay that sucker, I'd give you more than BBY would for it! hahaha

VZW Note 3 @ Best Buy Oct 4th(?)

Hi guys, I just wanted to pass along some potentially juicy info. I've been amped up about a potential early release of the VZW model from that last thread that got closed, so I've started my own sleuthing around.
I saw a thread somewhere that someone had heard from a Best Buy employee that the VZW version would be on sale on Friday, October 4th (that's this Friday!) As a result, I decided to call 4 of my local Best Buy stores (which included one specialty BB Mobile store) and check for myself. This is what they said
Store 1: "we don't have an exact date yet, but it should be within the next week" (this is unfortunate, because this is the closest store to my house)
Store 2: "our system says October 4th"
BB Mobile: "we haven't received any shipments yet, but the system says October 4th"
Store 3: "We haven't gotten a shipment yet, but if they arrive, they will go on sale on October 4th"
Things are beginning to look up again for the Verizon faithful. I encourage everybody give their local BB stores a call to see if you get similar responses. My only question now is if they'll price match VZW's $699 price if the corporate stores haven't started selling them yet (Best Buy currently lists full retail price for the VZW variant as $799)

Hi guys, I just wanted to pass along some potentially juicy info. I've been amped up about a potential early release of the VZW model from that last thread that got closed, so I've started my own sleuthing around.
I saw a thread somewhere that someone had heard from a Best Buy employee that the VZW version would be on sale on Friday, October 4th (that's this Friday!) As a result, I decided to call 4 of my local Best Buy stores (which included one specialty BB Mobile store) and check for myself. This is what they said

And they said that this was for the VZW version? The only reason I want to verify, is that the AT&T version releases on Friday the 4th, so I hope they weren't looking at that.

One can only hope, ive called 5 stores in utah and 4 of 5 said the 4th?? but that's weird cause its friday and VZW usually likes thursdays???
i guess we shall wait and see....i'll know when/if i get my preorder email friday morning!

This is the Verizon version. I'm grasping at straws every chance I get, so I hope this Oct 4th date holds true. My heart's been broken once already with the original Sept 29 early shipment rumor (which I hold nothing against the EZ in his thread for), so I'm hoping this holds true.
And hopefully it's for both preorder and walk ins. I'm contemplating cancelling the VZW corporate preorder, and pre-ordering one with BB...

Honestly, if by some miracle BB gets it on 10/4 then I will be at the store asking them to hold one while I call Verizon and cancel my pre-order.

Just spoke to my local Verizon store and she said that they were actually supposed to have them in-store in the next few days, but that had been pushed back and that they don't have a definitive date at this time.

Just got back from BestBuy - pre-ordered there as well. If it's a waste then I just have a $50 gift card sitting around. At this point I cant tell if my pre-order from Verizon will arrive before or after BestBuy... Either way, hoping that one of these places gets it this week.

Hopefully it's the same as the S4 release from Verizon which shipped 8 days before it's expected ship date.
..Also the S3 pre-orders arrived several days before the ship date as well.
..Unfortunately it looks like they didn't start shipping the Note 2 until it's ship by date.
It's Verizon though, so of course we can't have a truly definitive ship date.. If they botch my order I'll ship the Note back and just wait until December to cancel and go to T-Mobile. I lover Verizon's service, but they make getting the latest greatest so damn difficult.

May I ask what makes you say that? I'm not disputing you (quite the opposite, judging how all these early release rumors are going), but maybe you know something that we don't.
I'm gonna call BB every day until we can get something more concrete, either from them or from VZW

youre fine i just say that knowing verizon and other people saying they would ship by now. verizon wont let bb beat them to the punch.

Called 2 best buys near me (Hershey, PA) as well as 2 verizon corporate stores. Best buy guaranteed the 4th - verizon reps said that is the tentative date if all goes well. Take that as you will, just thought I'd share

it will be nice if they do release it on the 4th but this sounds a lot like the AT&T thread that claimed a release on the 27th at best buy. I used to work at bb a few years ago and the release dates would change all the time until the day before something is supposed to release then they would put a notice on that product to start putting it out on the sales floor. Not sure if they still use this method but thats how it worked when I was there.

Went into my local BB today (Long Island, NY) and they said the 10th.

Well, I called the store closest to me again, came at them with "I've been hearing it'll release on Oct 4th for Verizon", and they told me "we won't know until the Oct 4th release date".
I'm considering just putting money down on a preorder at the store, then waiting to see if BB or VZW will sell one to me first. Does anyone know if BB will price match Verizon's retail price if it hasn't released yet?

My friend that works at Best Buy Mobile spoke with a rep who said it will be at Best Buy on the 10th. The phone will be out for every other carrier on the 4th; Verizon hasn't given an exact date yet which is why Best Buy employees are most likely saying the 4th since that's the day it will be released for every other carrier.

I second that. My friend is a manager at the Samsung department of BB mobile and he said 10th is when BB will have the GN3.

I was told via BB Wireless sales chat (3) different chat sessions and each one said Verizon Wireless, October 4th. I will stop into the store tomorrow, if its there great, if not, then next Thursday it is. But if you notice the BB website says "In Store Only" for Verizon and "Pre-Order" for all other carriers. So why would that be if there isn't something going on.

No Stock at T-Mobile Stores?

I went to 1 T-Mobile store in my area and they said they "had two and just sold the last one".
Then he called 10 of the closest stores - TEN - and they all said they didn't have it. Has anyone else run into this? Any idea what's going on?

Probably like the v10. Release day I had to go to 3 stores. Called the third store from the second and he had one left and held it for me while I drove 20 minutes to get it.
The stores only got 2 or 3 each. I was afraid they were going to do it again this year. Sounds like at least in your area they have.
I had a bad feeling about it when they finally got the demo unit and just stuck it on the wall. Just up there with the stlylo and other lame phones. No special signage.
Why lg? And why t-mobile? This is an awesome high end flagship device! Why do they treat it like some ghetto prepaid low end cheap phone?
I pre-ordered mine on Tuesday and thankfully received it yesterday. (Thursday) I was going to wait to get it in store but was afraid to risk it.
I hope you can find one soon.

The store I went to had 5 in Stock when I went in, one other person was buying one and multiple people called about it. My first one was defective so I had to exchange and got their last one.
I heard one rep saying that they deliberately send them a low number, something about driving up pre orders. I also assume a lot of the note 7 guys are probably picking this up as it is the best replacement to the note.

I got the only one the store has. And the other local store also only got one in today.

Didn't want to risk this fiasco like with the V10, so I smartened up and pre-ordered mine on the 17th...received on the 20th and have been enjoying it since.
Sorry to hear that T-Mobile's out of stock. It's the first day of release and I'm sure they will get more in quite soon.

I preordered mine. Got it in 3 days.

I live in Long Beach, CA. Called to 6 stores before finding a store that only had 2 left. All the other stores that were out of stock, I asked how many do they usually get and they said about 3-4. I pre-ordered on the 18th and my expected shipping date was December. I cancelled my order and piked one up in person instead.

there is no way you that if you pre-ordered the 2nd day pre-orders were open that you would have gotten your phone in december. there was a glitch in t-mobiles system showing incorrect shipping dates. you probably would have gotten it before the actual release date like everyone else who pre-ordered. you wouldn't get a pre-order 2 months after they were available in the stores.

Coming from a banned Note 7 that I still use everyday, I waited for the release of the V20. Easy to do because Tmo didn't have any S7Es a week ago or so either. I really need to do an exchange because my Tmo bill is terribly jacked up from the Note7 experiment. Needless to say there was absolutely no stock anywhere to be found at the 7 stores between work and home Friday.

HOlly mollies! I have been calling to the 25 stores that are found within 20 miles from my house and none of them have it until finally i found one store that told me there would be 1 unit arriving tomorrow and i told him SAVE IT FOR ME! (i m going to actually replace mine because it has an issue with my simcard not been read and also it rebooted 5 times at random moments. ). I only have 4 days left to replace it without any fees charged

Not if it's defective.
I got mine first thing Friday when my store opened. 3 other people were in there at the same time getting it.

NO ONE IS GOING TO TAKE MINE!!!! Because the guy already put it in the system and scheduled by tomorrow at 1 pm so that i can go to pick it up! F**K everyone else who were looking for it inside that store lol! IT IS MINE!!!!!!! >=D! (i hope is not defective though) lol

I pre ordered mine on the 18th and it's on back order. Expected ship date as of now is 11/21 - 12/12. I can't even cancel the order if I happen to find one in the store because the $200 I'm getting for my note 3 was only for pre orders. If it doesn't ship soon I think I'm just gonna cancel my order and wait a few months to pick one up for $300 on Craigslist.

Wow
Given that lots are seitching their note 7 to comething else this is the only thing comparable

I got lucky. Walked into tmobile. They didn't have any in stock. Had them call another store that was 30 mins. away. They had one and the T mobile lady went and got it for me. I call that top notch service. Maybe because I was switching from Sprint, I don't know.

2 stores by me where out of stock today. I called tmo and ordered one, it will be here in up to a week. Cool thing was I could complete the trade in evaluation over the phone. I read the imei # to her and she processed it. I have 30 days to send in my g5 after I get the v20. I also will get a label to mail in the cheap Alcatel I bought for the $200 promo

Tmo started crippling the Note 7 this weekend. I made the decision to leave Sammy but no V20s in stock. "We can ship it to you." At the 3rd store, I walked out with a S7E.
