Have the store order you one. You don't have to wait for them to get a shipment.
You have more patience than me. I had mine overnighted and got it at 8:30am the day after it came out. And THAT was too long to wait!
The manager at the Verizon store in my town said they weren't getting any and the only way to get it was special order or online order.
Wanna bet they start stocking them after Oct 3rd???? That's when the $100 rebate ends, and the price goes up to $299.
My contract ended and Oct 2nd I'm ordering one so I can be as close to the 6.5 Rom update as I can, and that will give me 30 dys to review new phones. Kind of bummed I won't get to consider Diamond 2 (pocketnow.com just posted won't come to any other US vendor other than AT&T - I'm sticking with Verizon) so it looks like it's TP2 or Omni 2 for me.
Diamond 2 is coming out on Verizon, it's known as the Whitestone. http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/07/verizons-htc-whitestone-leaks-out-along-with-the-htc-mega-and/

I don't mean to be argumentative, but those websites are wrong more than they are right, especially with release dates. Hopefully it is coming next month though as that would be within my 30 days and I could see which one I like better.
The release dates for all Verizon phones leaked out, up to 1st Q of 2010. No Whitestone/other devices from HTC listed.
My local Verizon (corporate) Store is large in comparison to most in the state, and they claim that they don't stock HTC devices, except the Ozone.. in fact, when I got my TP2 last Friday I went to the store looking for a universal pouch and three techs. were amazed to see the TP2 in person lol. I guess they haven't trained on the TP2 yet here.
Hopefully they stock it in the near future, I like getting my cases from that store because of the warranty.

Now that you mention it, you're right! I haven't seen a TP1 at the Verizon kiost or the store ever since its release. Havn't see ANY HTC devices for that matter...weird.

Lol, went to my local Verizon store earlier today and the same thing happened. I walked in and asked if they had any accessories for my phone as i showed it to him. He immediately yanked it out of my hand and then asked, "Can I see that for a minute" as he ran, literally, and showed it to every other Verizon employee in the store including his manager. There were like 6 or 7 other people in the store that all noticed and then they all started asking me and the Verizon employee's about the phone, I felt pretty special They told me at the store they weren't gonna get any in, only internet orders or special order.
Is anybody in Cali and able to confirm whether stores got any?
Headed that way for the weekend, so would like to grab one in person.
Seems we are all getting the same reaction from the Verizon employees when we walk into the store. Was also looking for a universal case to tide me over. It was as if time stood still - little work was done for anyone else in the store for the next 5-10 minutes.
Other news: Have to replace mine due to the screen being scratched out of the box. Corp rep said they were out of stock for a replacement! Will know more tomorrow.
I have called around in my area (Phoenix) and have found some stores have them, some don't. None have them on display and none have accessories.
Still not in our Verizon or Sprints. Looked up on T-Mobile website for a corporate owned location (not reseller) and went on down. They have working TP2s. The resellers have dummy versions for size and weight comparisons.
The T-Mobile version battery door did have a memory card door (though hard to open) and I thought I saw a reset button! Couldn't swear to it. I may look into it and see if one of their backs fit the Verizon and see if they can be bought reasonably.
I won't get my TP2 for another week though. Kind of nice watching the forum and letting others who have time get all the bugs out. I wonder if all the clean ups and hacks will start all over again for WinMo 6.5. I wish they'd start new forums for TP2 GSM/CDMA version 6.1, 6.5, and custom cooked ROMs! very dificult to follow all the versions in one thread when they go 24 pages.
Update: well best plans of mice and men... PocketNow posted "OUT OF STOCK" for TP2 at Verizon. Sure enough went on line and entered an upgrade order and would not let me submit order during rebate period as it was "out of stock." Couldn't even put in basket to be fullfilled when arrives. Called Verizon, switched me around to different sales regions and what did I find? IN STOCK in California! Mine is now on the way to FL. Oh well, I get a great phone aweek early than expected.
Oh they BETTER NOT BE out of stock this Saturday! O_O I don't care if they have to steal it from a third world country, I WANT ONE! :'(

I too have been going through the same ordeal. I added a line to my wifes plan. From being told by many verizon reps that the TP2 will not be avaliable untill early next year I settled on the TP1. That was on 9/10/09, well, lo and behold, the TP2 hit Net sales on the 11th. So i went back to the store on the 20th in the hopes of getting a TP2 of my own. No dice. They couldnt even order me one from any of the options that they had. So, we went ahead and returned the TP1 and reactivated my wifes old lg env in the meantime so i could go home and place the net order. Well, all went fine and dandy and I was even able to order the unit for $149.99 w/no mail in rebates. But, two hours later i received a wonderful cancellation email from verizon due to lack of inventory. Slightly irritating, but understandable. Now, going on 4 days later, everything has reset on the account except for my ability to order via the website. After spending hours on the phone with just about every dept in verizon and being told that the phone is going to cost me anywhere from $250+ and still have to pay the restocking fee from returning the TP1 still no luck. I finally did talk with a phone sales rep that was the most helpful of anyone i have spoken with to date. He promised that as soon as he gets any word about the availability of the TP2 he will personally call me and have the order set to go asap. The only issue he said i might have is for some reason the original order that was canceled is not fully showing up in his system, but there is a reference to it in the account. According to him, when it becomes available again he will call me and if it still doesn't show the canceled order that i will be able to send him the email and they will fully honor it. We will see...
Sorry for the long rant, just had to get it off my chest. Its been a fairly irritating past week of dealing with VZW trying to get them to get their stuff straight.
Hopefully i will have a new TP2 in the next handful of days.
I went into my store on the 19th and he said they don't expect to ever get them, only direct fulfillment. So I ordered it online when I got home and it arrived the 22nd.
After 9 months of FRU'ing Touch Pro's, the guy at the Verizon store informed me that they finally had TP2's online as a possible Multi-FRU upgrade.
After more than a week of daily calls to Verizon and finally getting mine (after paying the 2 year contract price as a discount instead of receiving the multi FRU), I can say the following with relative certainty.
1. They don't anticipate displays in-store before the start of 2010. 2 local store managers claimed they have already requested them, and that Corporate was stalling the launch (much the same as the TP.)
2. If you order over the phone and complain enough about your existing phone, you can get it for the new every 2 price, pretty much regardless of your current status. Keep in mind, it will reset your next upgrade date.
Just took home my Captivate for $275 from a corporate AT&T Wireless store. Only requirement to get EARLY activation pricing is that you haven't upgraded your line within 6 months. NO ONE said anything about this anywhere until today - have been in 4 different corp AT&T stores, and finally someone said "early upgrade = new activation + $75 = $275 for the Captivate." Deal is good UNTIL Saturday, 7/24, when the pricing goes back up to $350 (Samsung is offering $150 back-end rebate currently) + 75 for early activation.
Get it while you can! Better than AT&T's no-commitment price of $499 and even their phantom $350 pricing they said on Facebook and Twitter, but won't honor after some lucky folks got them early last week!!! Been struggling with this mess for 2 days now, just trying to get it and finally found out about this, so make sure you all aren't buying them at no-commitment pricing, that's just outrageous....
This is the first I've heard that the $200 2yr contract renewal price is temporary. I'm eligible for an updgrade next week! grr...
Where'd you see that mentioned?

Maybe AT&T noticed demand for this phone and said.. Hmmm..how do we make more money on it?
I was surprised to see 10 people lined up Sunday morning to get this phone when the store opened.

Has anyone confirmed this?
Just got off the phone with a CSR, he didn't know anything about this being a short term deal. He spent about 5 minutes looking it up, so I hope he wasn't just saying that to get me off of the phone.
Oh, and how long have they been ending their calls by saying "Thanks for being the best part of AT&T" or something like that? That's ridiculously cheesy.

I just walked into an AT&T store and was able to use the early upgrade and get the phone for the 199+75 +18 (296 with everything totaled up). You have to not have had a upgrade within the last 6 months. That's it... and be in good standing ofcourse.
I got my Captivate on Sunday for $275. I did an early upgrade this past December for a BB 9700, so I was eligible for the early upgrade (I didn't know I was at the time). I was hoping to purchase for the "$350" non-contract price last week, but the rep @ the store last Thursday said I would qualify for the early upgrade, but they weren't going to sell it to me until the 18th. $275 was cheaper than $350 just to add 7 month to my contract, so I had planned to go that way. Luckily I was since the phone went to $499. So yes, it is true.
Contract
Do you go under another 2 year contract for this price?
AT&T Customer Service can push your upgrade date forward 30 Days, easy. Just give the customer service line a call and talk to a representative.

The guy I spoke with said that he couldn't change it.
I called CSR early this morning and was able to order it as early upgrade...199.99 + tax and delivery...i think it came out to $260-something total...i wasn't eligible for upgrade till march of 2011

I'd try again, seems like it just depends on who you get. I'm trying to get my upgrade pushed forward 3 months (it will be a year since I got my Tilt 2 in October), so far I've had one CSR tell me to just walk into a store and use the upgrade off of one of my family plan's other lines, the other told me she could only make it that much earlier if I increased my plan, but that isn't going to happen lol.

I also got my Tilt 2 at the same time. Your best bet is to call CSR...just call back again and hope to get a different person if they tell you no the first time. It's a matter of getting the right person. The guy I talked to this early morning told me that it's best to call after midnight since you get the seasoned employees but you have to be premiere...if you call during the day most likely youll get a trainee

I stand corrected. I called back and specifically mentioned overriding the upgrade date, and the CSR said that I could do that. However, they would only do it if they could ship it to me, not so I could buy it in the store, and if they had any in stock.
They don't.
She put me on hold saying that she's trying to arrange something with the store closest to me... So, maybe this will work...

Weird, the first girl I got was all ready to set it to today until she read the 10 month part and told me she couldn't, she didn't seem to care where I used the upgrade at. Makes me wonder if the CSR wants the sale.

Possibly, she supposedly couldn't get in touch with the local store and asked if they could call back in 2 days when they might have stock to ship to me. Maybe I should call again.
Nah, I'm tired of messing with this today. Thanks for letting me know about moving the upgrade date.
No, problem ingrown.
Sorry for sorta hijacking the thread though. I'm thinking I may try to get this with the early upgrade fee myself.
Has anyone confirmed the price going up to $350 for an upgrade after 7/24?
Just so everyone knows, the loyalty advantage applies to this phone. I got an additional 100 off because I hadn't upgraded in 24 months (iPhone) and my bill is
greater than 100
No upgrade fee either
Nifty phone for 100!

I went to Best Buy to peruse this evening and checked out the HTC Inspire 4G - overall it's a pretty snappy phone and the 4.3" screen has me drooling along with the front camera, rear flash and the Sense UI that has grown so much from my good old days of HTC on Windows Mobile!!! Then I thought to myself, hmmmm, perhaps AT&T will let me get it!!!
I purchased the Captivate on July 15th, about three days ahead of the actual release date and I was beaming - until the woeful GPS and now the occasional rebooting if you look at it too hard issues came up, of course I stuck with it because originally they said the holy grail of 2.2 would be out by August, then the end of September, then after Turkey day then by Christmas...... and now it's almost March, almost seven months later to the date!!!
I've been a Bell South/Cingular/AT&T subscriber since 2000, now a little over 11 years, and thru those years I've had let's say about nine phones of my own not to include my wifes phone and then my kids as they grew up and I gave them phones via the family plan. Strangely enough when I upgraded my last phone (HTC Fuze) to the captivate they gave me the option to upgrade a year later which will be July 15th, they usually let me upgrade every year or so so I'm always fresh.
But after this second hassle with them about a Samsung smart phone (first was the BlackJack) I'm pretty done and ready to go back to old reliable HTC and call them up and demand that they give me an Inspire or I nip all my plans in the bud since they all expire this year with my phone being the last one to expire in July and moving over to T-Mobile or Verizon. I know I could get it and they would probably extend my contract another 6 months or so, and I've seen the specs on it and know that by mid summer it would be be beyond old hat since it's pretty much the Evo with GSM with new Sense UI. Or I could wait and see if they would give me the Infuse or the new Motorola but I'd hate to get any of those phones then see in July that the new HTC Super Duper or Samsung Galaxy S 2.5 come out then. Should I wait it out another five months with the Captivate, play the warranty return game till they offer me an alternative or just say" Yo AT&T, if you still want my business give me a Motorola!!!"
Right there with you. Got my Cappy in late July, now on my sixth. They offered to give me a different phone on the last two, but the closest to the Cap's specs were the x10 and iPhone 4. Hoping number six here holds out until the x12's or Atrix's come out. If they're not willing to budge on my terms when it inevitably dies (free and no-new-contract) then I'm paying the ETF and heading to sprint.
I'm planning on doing the same. Although chances are they will only change it (one time) to another phone that is refurbished. So it might take a while to jump on a new phone.
How did you manage to gets a one year contract with a phone upgrade? I wish I got that.I have a one year upgrade option but a t year contract that gets extended with every upgrade. The 300-500 is not worth the contract cancellation for me

True. But with all the bullsh*t that has came with this droid and having to take 5 phones to the post office to be shipped back (only to be refurb'd again and passed off to some other poor bastard)... a $200 ETF is like paying for the luxury of no longer putting up with AT&T. Every month another $20 less that I have to pay them, etc.
3 times warranty exchange of captivate for the sleep/charge death issue; and possibly account history.
As always, be soft, be patient, and be genuine.
I was told I could swap for a different phone in Dec last if the sleep death issue reoccurred (that was the 4th exchange in all -- once a battery and 3 times phone exchange).
Luckily, my captivate survived.
Im so tempted to just pay the ETF and jump to verizon.. its nice to see that att is getting some new android phones. Even though the htc phone has the lowest specs its so tempting because it will have aosp and 2.3 before the new samsung phone.....and unless motorola goes with an unlocked bootloader they will be in the same boat. Hardware specs don't mean much if the software isn't there

Early upgrade pricing is $300 and most everyone will qualify for that. Sell your Captivate for $250-$300 on Craigslist and be done with it. It will be hard to get them to swap it. I tried.

The Inspire is available for $400 with no contract. I'd rather do that than pay $300 for an upgrade and be locked in for 2 more years.
Same boat.... random shutdowns, etc. On my 5th or 6th phone. I have device support center near my house, so swapping them out it easy, but irritating. When I called yesterday, they said I could swap it for an Inspire, but only when the warranty center received refurbished units, which could take 30-90 days. I doubt it will take that long. I do not see them issuing new Inspires to anybody with a problem at 31+ days. I would have to guess they will have refurbs within 30 days, but who knows. Anybody know how long it takes for AT&T to start getting refurbs?
I'm also curious to know if i can do this. I bought a Captivate refurbished, and already got a replacement because of random shut down issues. Maybe i'll give AT&T a call tomorrow and see what I can do, anyone think people interested in this idea have a decent chance as long as we're reasonable to the AT&T rep we speak to?
Tried. Didn't work : /
It's good to know I'm not the only person thinking about the trade out, seeing as how the Inspire 4G is marked monetarily lower than the Captivate but of the same calibur I'm sure that it will be a refurb option really soon. The only thing I dread about going through the warranty process is initially getting back Captivate refurbs that have bigger issues than mine over and over again until AT&T finally gives in and lets me choose another phone of the same calibur which is why I haven't sent mine in for the GPS, media scan of dread and shutdown while charging/rebooting troubles but now that they are becoming more frequent that it's becoming unbearable.
Buying an Inspire straight out or having AT&T extend my contract for another year isn't an option I'm willing to take, that would get me stuck with an inspire until spring 2012 at the least - no thanks I saw what became of the Aria.
The simple fact is the the issues with this phone should have been addressed and resolved a long time ago and we shouldn't have to put on a custom rom to get it to a state that it should have been that way out the box, custom roms should be for fun and enhancements to an already good product not band aids to fix flaws that the manufacturer or carrier wont acknowledge and respond to.
Hopefully in a few weeks once people start going through the Inspire's the option to choose a refurbished Inspire 4G as a swap for a Captivate will become available, either that or the official 2.2 comes out then I'll stick with the captivate until summer, after that AT&T better come correct with the android updates and some stunning hardware or I'll be jumping ship to T-Mobile.
Wow, I didn't realize the captivate was having so many issues...5th and 6th phones? My god.
I got my phone in August and its running like a champ with Darky 9.2.

it's true. granted, i've only gone through one phone, but i did have the random shutdown problem, and at first i wasn't bothered by it. it quickly became the most annoying problem ever by occurring more frequently.
I am still skeptical about the whole 4G network with AT&T especially being such crappy coverage service already with their supposed upgraded 3G network. If they said they finally completed their 3G network upgrade and provide this kind of horrible coverage quality, I can't even begin to imagine how their supposed 4G network speeds are as well as the coverage it will support. If i was to get a 4G AT&T phone, I would wait at least half a year to a year to really see how they push their network out onto the market.
I talked to an AT&T rep last night and I think I am goinh to jack the upgrade on one of my kids' line and get the Inspire 4G. I got it for my wife and it was the bomb.
The rep told me the exception upgrade for the Inspire is 199.
I originally posted this in the Inspire 4g General forum:
_________________________________________________________________
I bought the Captivate day 1 in June after all the hype only to be disappointed like many users. I called AT&T customer service about an hour ago and was online with a rep within 10 minutes. I very calmly explained my issues with the Captivate (GPS, rebooting randomly) and asked to be given an early upgrade. Without so much as a question the rep told me he would approve it through his supervisor. It took me less than 30 minutes to have a full upgrade ready whenever I want to use it. That will be in about an hour when I go pick up the Inspire.
TL;DR: If you want to upgrade from your Captivate but stay with AT&T, it is trivially easy to get the full upgrade price.
_________________________________________________________________
Also, the OP says that the Inspire has a front-facing camera, but it does not. Just FYI.
I did it. Love it. Such a better out of the box experience.

No mate, and it's looking like it will be available on t-mobile fast.
Not sure about the release date for the sensation but I have just left tmob and would not recommend them to any smartphone user.
They limit download speed to 300kbs
Block ftp
Compress web images
So if you can find a better deal with anyone else you would be better off
Rang T-Mobile today to upgrade. THey told me the Sensation will be available in July. I left my details and they said they would call me.
Stands to reason they just released the desire s. When you see it on the coming soon page that's when its coming. Pity they didnt have exclusive they didn't even have galaxy s2 till now.

I called them yesterday and they told me they had no news on Sensation. Also told me they wouldn't know anything about a handset release or software update one month before. I'm sure what you posted is what you were told but that shows how these companies are selective in giving information to their customers. I think because I sounded wanted a phone right away they lied so they can take my money right away rather than risking I take my business else where. Business = No Morality. These companies worry me 10 times more than the goverments these days.
my upgrade on tmobile is on 25th june and i really hope it will be available for then, if not i'll be walking to phones4u or somewhere to get the sensation on another network.
its a shame really i've never had any problems with tmobile and really helped me out getting my HD2 on release date
I understand that this question is not directly about the Inspire or it's development so I will also understand if the Mods need to delete the thread. It just seemed like the best place to ask my question.
I think the clerk at Best Buy screwed up when I bought my Inspire last April. He sold it to me on the contract price but it seems he did not renew my contract. AT&T is telling my I am no longer under contract. Does this sound right? Or is the AT&T website just screwed up right now? Has anything like this happened to anyone before?
Open phone dial *639# and "call" it'll send a message to you with your upgrade date. See what it says.

I tried that about an hour ago and still haven't got a message back. Maybe that means I'm free!
Poop, spoke too soon. I just re-sent that number and got a response immediately.
Response: "As a valued customer, we can offer you an upgrade with a new 2-yr commitment and an $18 upgrade fee."
Still looks like I'm free!
I wouldn't count your horses yet. You bought the phone from Bestbuy and not ATT. ATT might now be offering you an upgrade this time. I only say this because my girlfriend recently bought a phone for sprint through bestbuy. And Sprint offered her an upgrade just 2 months later when the Evo 3D came out.
all that matters is what At&T's records say. You're in the clear.
I guess I'll find out for sure when a new phone I want comes out.
