MT4G Out of stock everywhere :(

I'm having the worst luck. My wife and I ordered 2 brand new mytouch4g's last saturday through tmo customer loyalty for a total of 400 bucks (200each) for both phones. They didnt send the EIP acceptance until tuesday after i called them. I accepted they charged my card and I got a text message saying my order went to fulfillment Nov 12th. Well yesterday I called and they told me that the phone is backordered. wtf...! i already sold my current phones and now they don't even have an ETA of when the phones would be available. This is pretty lame.

Whoew!!!..really feel bad for you. But its a good thing,now that alot of people have mytouch 4g that means that this phone will be light up. All the dev team will be supporting this phone like crazy.

Man, never sell your phone until you have the new ones in hand, and then don't sell them until you had the new ones a few days and checked out any bugs. It's called "common sense" and it's not taught in schools anymore! I ordered mine on Sunday when the new plans came out, they shipped Monday and are arriving today. I'd like to get my Evos on ebay, but waiting for 1-30 days until they are checked out. I have 30 days to return/exchange them and cancel the contract so I'm not porting my numbers over until everything checks out, and that includes the billing. It's so easy for them to promise a given price on the phone and then have your first bill be totally different than what's quoted. Then, and everyone hates to do this, you have to call your carrier and have a big fight. I'll keep the number they issued me and have my sprint number "forwarded" to this phone while I check it out. This plan will save a lot of potential headache.

This doth not bode well. I just ordered another MT4G too. Ugh. I hope they get their supply issues resolved.

man, that really sucks...hope you have at least something to use for the time being. If not, you can probably pick one up off craigslist for dirt cheap to at least have a phone until they come in.
I never sell my old phones...my wife hates it, but I have a good 7 foot stack of phone boxes in our bedroom closet, and I constantly buy phones I dont even use from craigslist myself
My daughters will go through them once in awhile and want to use one now and then...but sadly, they always want to go back to their iPhones.

I bought my first one through TMO on launch day. But, I just ordered one for my wife on Monday through WireFly and it just came today. WAY better price than buying through TMO. Call them and you can get a better deal than what's posted on their site.
The only thing about them is they bombard you with "additional" great offers while you are on the phone with them. Don't buy their insurance plan, it's crap. I bought it and found out it didn't cover water damage at all, so no dropping the phone in the crapper by accident. And it won't cover theft from an unoccupied building... so if I leave my phone at home, go somewhere, and get burglarized; it won't be covered. Worthless. I called and canceled the crappy insurance. It's not eligible for a TMO $6/mo protection plan when you buy it through WireFly, but if you bring it into the store and show them it's not damaged, they will give you a $4.75/mo plan that is the same as their $6/mo plan, but the difference is that it doesn't include equipment malfunction/failure. Only covers damage or theft.

yeah i havent found it in stock anywhere in my area...i really want one !

wow that does suck they had a lot of them right by my house in cali. i just returned my white one for a black one at the store and they did it no problem. but if u dont have a phone, just go to a tmobile store and tell them what happened and try to get a loaner phone. thats what i had to do for a day cause i sold my hd2 so i can upgrade to the mytouch 4g but it wasnt gonna come out for another day when i sold my phone.

I bought 2 MT4Gs on NewEgg.com
I found the MT4G in stock on NewEgg...i ordered 2 (1 black and 1 White) i was about to buy them on amazon for $119 and saw they wouldnt be delivered until Dec. 28th...so went over to trusty NewEgg.com and they had the same price ...Ordered on Monday the 15th and will be delivered tomorrow...hurry the might still have them ..btw i checked back on NewEgg the following day and the price was up to 149$
FOLLOW ME ON TWITTER @Face_Melter we can be MT4G friends...lol

The stores are usually stocked... I would try there. Also they will let u swap within the 14 days at a tmobile store too even if you got the original phone from the 800 number.

I bought my mytouch 4g from newegg when it came our for $79. Last i saw target mobil was selling it for 79 too so check it out. I just dont understand why people are buying this phone for 200.

I got mine from Radio shack for $149(2 year upgrade). Plus Radioshack gave me $130 for my HD2 with wall charger and $60 for my G1 and wall charger. So I paid nothing for my MT4G. And I bought a car charger for it.

You really don't understand the concept behind tiered pricing? Seriously?

I just ordered one for $267 and paid for 3 day shipping from retentions. Got tired of the Vibrant GPS not working. If I paid for 3 day shipping I better damn well get it. We'll see I guess.

I got my 4G Black, at costco, say would I be able to walk into t-mob and exchange for a red one? curious, as I still have a week before the 14 days are up.

it's those damn commercials that is making this phone sell like crazy

Considering selling?
My wife had problems with her MyTouch 4G speakerphone and had me get her a "simple" phone. I'm supposed to receive a brand new one from T-Mobile within the next week and I am thinking about selling it. What should I expect it should sell for? Thanks.

Since T-mobile is selling it for $450 new with buyers remorse, warranty, and option to add insurance, I would probably shoot for 400 if it's still unused.

I got mine on the day it was released, 10am my local tmobile store opened up and I was the 1st customer there. Paid like 320 for the MT4g cuz I wasn't in my full upgrade Price. but then I sold my HD2 for 350 so I thought hey Might as well buy the new phone... When I got home and the wife saw that I had the new MT4G she wanted one too. So I went back 2 days later and got the white one for her paid 200 for hers..
I think that all these 3rd party websites are ordering all these phones from tmo so that's why the main tmobile is backed ordered. But if you go to the stores they have them stocked up...

349.99 this Friday and Saturday at Sears

This Friday and Saturday!

hell yes lol, was picking mine up in the morn

Where exactly on this ad are you seeing that Sears is selling it for this price this Friday and Saturday? I just bought mine this past weekend so I'm still in my 30 day window where I can go in and demand $30 back since I bought it for $379.99.

yea looked up sears ad not seeing it

See that price is more reasonable. They should just keep it at that price.

Their price protection is for 14days. I just got off chat with a sears rep and they say go into store and you will be taken care of.
I even told them I could return it and buy it at staples with the sears price.
I think we should be taken care of, I will be going down Fri or Sat with receipt in hand!

Just got off the phone with Sears and they had no clue what the hell I was talking about. Someone please verify which site that coupon comes from.

No G Tablet in my Sears ad
Got my paper here in N California this morning with the Sears ad for Friday and Saturday and there is no G tablet on sale in it.
Bummer

pissed me off lol

I have until Saturday for my 14 day price match window at Staples. I already price matched it to $380.... $350 would be even better!
Sent from my DROID2 using XDA App

If it goes down to $350 I'm not only getting my price match but I'll buy another.
I searched everywhere on the Sears site and didn't find it for $350. I actually saw one for $399, and then it was listed again with a different picture and description for $379.
Weird...
Maybe it's all a cruel joke...

My Sears ad for Friday and Saturday only shows an Asus netbook. No gtab

please remove this thread lol

Got into a fight at a sears tonight with manager because they didn't have my refurb when i got confirmation. ended up getting a brand new one price matched to the "refurb" price. It rang as 349.99 original price on the receipt if that helps anyone. This was in PA.

crap... my 14d w/Staples were up Monday!
I knew that I should've returned it and bought one at Sears!

Okay, I'm really confused. Where did this ad come from?
My Fri/Sat ad for Cincinnati doesn't even show a GTab in it, and the weekly ad that ends tomorrow says its $379.99 still, and then, the website says $399.99. When I got my price match at staples for $379.99 on Monday, the website showed that price. Now it doesn't.
Is Sears as confused as we are?

Just call and ask them. Price they would charge will show up when they enter the sku. Sears is pretty good with coordinating prices with their adds.

Site looks pretty screwed up ATM. It shows $379.99 but when you click on it for the specific page it then shows $399.99 ...
Yeah, I did a price match to $379.99 on Monday as well instead of returning it.
[EDIT]
Looked in the online weekly ad and didn't see it there either, but there was a BT Garmin GPS which is kind of tempting, but I want something smaller w/o display...

Staples has an extended return policy through the holidays, and it includes electronics. You have 30 days minimum.

Sears outlet shipping... ?

Will they ship to a different store? I have been religiously checking the site but have not found any units within a 2 hour drive for me. Also, will a regular sears have returns if I just show up or call? Has anyone been that lucky? How much are the returned/ open box units at a regular sears? Thanks.
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App

Regular Sears stores that get returns are what shows up on the outlet website, there isn't a special set of stores that are considered 'outlets'. The outlets are just regular stores that happen to have returned items.

There are actual sears outlet stores in addition to the regular store. Im located in southern california and they have a physical outlet store 10 minutes from me but they never have the gtablet in stock. There are about 2 other regular sears stores in the area too. That would be awesome if they were all the same.
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App

I purchased online from the Sears Outlet web site and called the store directly, asked for package pickup, and requested shipping. They shipped from Texas to Ann Arbor, Mi 3 day service for $11.
The only problem was the shipping had to be paid with a Sears charge card. I did not have one, had to borrow a friends.

Wow. That is awesome. Did you actually buy it online and then call the store? Why did they need a sears card for the shipping? Even with the shipping that is still a pretty sweet deal.
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App

I managed to find a great dept manager that shipped to me for free! I recommend you go through with the order then call the store once you get your pickup confirmation. The first store I tried told me they couldn't do it, out of laziness I guess.

That's pretty sweet. What did you do when the first place wouldn't ship? Was it a hassel to get your money back?
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App

With the first store I called them up before I placed the order. So when they told me they wouldn't ship, I tried to just order and schedule a UPS pick up, but in the meantime someone else must have ordered it. Lucky for me though as I found the second store!
It's definitely a challenge and takes patience, but I'm glad I stuck with it. I think this is a good device for $280, but $399 is too much.

I absolutely agree. Thank you for the advice. I'll have to give it a shot. I am hoping that viewsonic will start selling all the units that were returned to them too. That would be awesome.

The NJ one is gone, only NY and NC left, and I can get the NC one to take my order, and the NY store wont answer the phone.
I have $200 in gift cards I want to use, but cant use Gift cards on sears outlet :\

I have tried to buy one in the sears at oak terrance IL and had them shipped it to me. It was a painful process and i had spent at least 3 hours to call 3-4 numbers. No one really knew the process. Anyways, it was not much cheaper for me since 279 +taxes + shipping =325. I purchased mine for 349 with no tax for a new one locally. It was a very painful and you will need luck and a lot of patience. Good luck.

No tax, new, locally? That sounds kinda shady. I do know there are some internet retailers that sell them around that price shipped.

I got mine at Electronics Express also for $365 shipped. Great price.

thunderbolt independence day sale........

Anyone heard of or expecting big red to put the thunderbolt on sale for 4'th of July? I recall verizon having a sale on memorial day sale & also remember Amazon having the thunderbolt for $129.00 with free shipping.
If I can get into a thunderbolt this weekend for $150.00 or less, I'll jump on it.

If so, do you think they'll honor the discount for new customers who are still within the 14 day cancellation period? I just got my TB and VZ service on monday.

I got my Thunderbolt from Amazon Wireless last week for $129 (I was on Tmobile without a contract).
Aaargh, right now it is $99 for new subs!

If so, then yes. If the first rep you speak to says no, then ask for a manager (not a "supervisor') and they'll most likely give you even more of a discount for yor troubles.

^Same question as this guy, I got mine yesterday

FWIW, since I noticed that Amazon Wireless went down to $99 for the Tbolt, I called them and politely asked for the difference, since i just got the phone and "am still within my return period."
I had a very helpful and cute sounding CSR, and she actually refunded the $30 difference! w00t! Thanks, Amazon!
This definitely improves the old customer satisfaction rating.

I actually was about to order my TBolt from Amazon last week (New Customer Switching Over From At&t) until I decided to drive around to a couple of stores and see if I could get the same pricing as Amazon so I wouldn't have to wait for shipping (Patience Is Not My Virtue....). After going to a couple of stores and being told that they would not budge from the $250.00 price I gave up and went to the Mall with the wife. I came across a Best Buy Mobile store and decided to give it one last try....
I told the guy that Amazon was offering me the phone for $130.00 with free shipping and after he spoke to his manager he came back and told me he couldn't do the $130.00 price but that he could give me the phone for $150.00 with one month of black tie protection, the buy back program and a car charger or case (me and my wife both picked the case). We immediately said yes and had our TBoltz rigth there and then.
FYI:
After closely looking at the receipt I noticed that what they did was give me the phone for $100.00 bucks and then sell me the buy back program and the one month of black tie protection. The case was a complete freebie seeing that it cost 30 bucks (Platinum Best Buy Case). Total cost in the end for the phone was like $140.00 bucks....

Anyone having luck finiding this watch?

I messed up and didnt order one at release, now im wanting it pretty bad.
Anyone having luck finding it in the US? I have read reports from several people that some 3rd party vendors that are shipping from Korea are shipping out international version ( no samsung pay, right? ) so I'd like to avoid that.
Frys Electronics shows it available for shipping first week of Jan.
Id prefer to go through Best buy or amazon, anyone have some insider info on them? Customer support has zero info.
thank you!

I was able to find it at Best Buy.

I had the same problem. Couldn't find it anywhere, finally I took a chance, and went to craigslist, saw one going for $200 no box, I asked the guy if the charger came with it, he said yes. I took the chance, went for it, and it's just the watch, with the charger, (no cable or power block) but for $200 it's not bad. I factory reset it before I did anything, so far so good, everything works, Samsung pay works.

Best buy

None of the best buys in my area or anaheim, ca or las vegas have them in stock. The best my local best buy was able to do for me is give me a 10% off coupon ad they couldn't even let me place an order to secure the 299 price.
Been keeping an eye on Craigslist too, thank you guys!

I usually check nowinstock.net for email notifications when they come in stock at Best Buy, amazon or B&H.
https://www.nowinstock.net/electronics/smartwatches/samsung/
It actually looks like its in stock at best buy currently with free 2 day shipping: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/samsung-gear-s3-frontier-smartwatch-46mm-dark-grey/5647800.p

Aww snap! Thanks for that! I was at bestbuy not less then 2 hours ago and they were showing none. Anywhere. Ordering!

I Also got mine from Bestbuy about a week ago, but they were out of all the Bluetooth only editions. I ended up convincing them to sell me an ATT version for the same price and I'm just using it as Bluetooth only. Seems they are out of stock just about everywhere..

I ended up getting two shipped out. One came in today and the bezel clinks quite a bit. Going to see how it compares to the one arriving tomorrow.

Found one under my Christmas Tree. :good:

I just bought one today from my local Best Buy. No Best Buy locally had them until yesterday. Per the manager I bought mine from, they had a shipment of them come in yesterday. They only got 4. There was only 1 not ordered online that was available for anyone to walk in and buy. They didn't have a demo unit on the floor.

AT&T has a special if you upgrade a line, you can get the S3 for 50 bucks...just did it myself. Doesn't have to be the Flagship, either...any Galaxy phone.

Just walked into my local best buy today and they had one left. It was $350 though. They said they will price match until the 15th of January so hoping it goes on sale! Either that or Verizon announces they are getting a LTE model and I'm returning this one asap

Picked one up, the last one, at my local Best Buy. It was $350 but I was able to use a one time 10% discount. Came out to $337. A few bucks more than with tax on the sale price. Ordered from Samsung 3 weeks now and still no updates. Cancelled that order.

whoever is looking, I use this site to stalk the stock of the main website/stores to find most things and the watch was one of them. It even says at this exact moment amazon has them in stock
https://www.nowinstock.net/electronics/smartwatches/samsung/

None of my Best buys stores in the Bay area has it in stock. Starting hitting craigslist and picked one up for $220, like new in box with all accessories and the receipt from Amazon. Can't express how much more comfortable this is compared to my S2.

They have alot in the Fort Worth Texas areas

Man i have had the same luck with Samsung. I ordered during the christmas sale and its been weeks. Aholes haven't shipped my order yet. Best buy has been out of stock since a long time near me, either. So i kept checking almost daily like a routine and finally found in stock, ordered and cancelled my Samsung order. The frustrating part is Samsung website has been showing The Frontier will ship in 1-3 business days since past coupla days. I called their agents and they all be like- "Oh sorry, it just means it will be delivered in 1-3 business days, once it leaves the warehouse. It is not what you think". WT?? Man I got so pissed calling them again and again with no luck, they all repeating the same sht. I have a strong feeling they are not shipping in the order received. I think brand new orders at full price are still being shipped sooner than those back orders sold at sale price.
