I have seen several posts on xda and ppcgeeks about the tp2 hitting sprint on the 25th, and its mostly brushed off as more rumor hype... which I understand with Sprint. I had a Curve forever, waiting for the Tour, and gave up for the Touch Pro. (Good decision, I laughed at the Tours browser when I saw it.)
Anyhow, a Sprint rep (ya ya I know) on the phone tried very discreetly to tell me that in two weeks would be a great time to go looking for the TP2. I just played stupid and said Tmobile had a newer version of my phone and I wanted to know if Sprint got it. They said no announcement, I said well I'm gonna go ahead and get the Tmobile one then, and the guy repeatedly said not to "do anything just yet" and to " call back intwo weeks and I'ld have better luck. I said forget that, does that mean they'll know a date then or what? And he said no no, no date, just CALL BACK. He said they will do major advertising too though, which isn't really what TP had, and with the pre getting mentioned every time you push a key on customer service, thats suspect. Anyway, just passing word.
I'm about to burn the sprint store down if they don't tell me something soon.
My TP is looking its age, and I hate how fat it is, and I want a bigger screen.
Is anyone else majorly dissappointed its not WM7 ready, and doesnt have a 3.5 jack on it though? Figure that new HD will.

The general consensus is that the TPII won't be available in the US until later in the fall. I suspect that The big Sprint news is that they will announce " officially " that the TPII will be available later on this fall.
i may be wrong, but i think i remember tmo stating theirselves it was to deny the g consensus.
Hey everyone, as some of you might know, i have been trying to get an android phone for quite some time now. After having followed many device, i have been trying to get the Infuse since it was released. A friend of mine will be in NY tomorrow for a couple days and I am trying to have my cousin pick up the phone for me to give to my friend. He said there is an ATT by his work on 34th. I know that's not much info, but by anychance are any of you fmiliar with that location? My brother tried to get it for me in Boston and they kept telling him that they would not sell it to him without a contract. I am trying to avoid that bs this time around... SHould my cousin mention that I live out of the country and see if they are more willing? Anyways, any thoughts and or opinions are greatly appreciated. Hope this works out for me this time around.
Thanks everyone!
Wally world! (walmart) they dont give crap about it. they should be able to sell it to you.
Thanks Transformer!
I don't really know Manhattan all that well, but don't really remember seeing a Walmart anywhere around... I need to purchase it somewhere where i have friends or family traveling so that they can bring it back to me as I am currently living in the Dominican Republic.
dont really give explnations. just say you need to buy a phoen off contract.
Well my day went from great to sh*t in just a few minutes... I get a msg that my cousin is on his way to get me the Infuse at an ATT in NY so that he can give it to my buddy who is coming back to the DR tomorrow. Then i get the msg that they would not sell it to him off-contract... This keeps happening everytime i finally have someone in the US that can get the phone. Losing all hope...
Best Buy. There is a 24 hour one somewhere in the 30's in Manhattan.
Seriously? Anyoen happen to know how much Best Buy is selling them for off contract?
Thanks!

$600 /10chars
i asked a guy at the att store if we could buy phones off contract just the phoen no contract he said yes.
note! in order for a att store to sell a phone of contract it has to be a corporate store.
thats the info i got when i asked
Thanks everyone!
Dani: sorry, but whats "/10chars?"
Transformer: Thats weird cause my cousin said that it was a corporate store and the people at the store said he might have better luck at one of the small non corporate stores... I just wish i was the one that could do take care of it and i didn't have to have my friends and family jumping around and being given responses and answers that are mixed.
hmm. either way. it is a att product and you are paying full price for it. why not hit up att 1 800 number thur skype and see what you can get done.
maybe have your cousin wait there while your on the phone and have one of the managers from central call in to the store to authorise the sale.
I might just have to do something like that... Wish it were as easy as just purchasing, but hey, i guess good things don't come easy? I need to get hyped up again on this phone, cause this bs is seriously putting a damper on things...lol.
Appreciate all the responses.

there is a 10 character minimum per post. the link didnt post properly so it *****ed at me that the post was too short. then i fixed the link so it really doesnt need to be there
You know.. I'm sick and tired of these loops I'm put through, I'm transferred to the wrong company by AT&T where I had been at least talking to an English fluent speaking woman, who understood everything that I said... yet she transfers me to Premier when I said I placed my claim through Asurion....
Anyways... has anyone ever had a package confirmed to be delivered by FedEx yet there is no package?
I am having this problem now... I have had several mail packages sent to my house and had not had any of them stolen... is it possible that this is the first one? Which happens to be my 200$ replacement phone?
I am just at a loss guys, I am getting no help and I can't just lose $200 I mean, it is possible but please God help me I am a poor man. I'm still in College, I don't have the money or a job to easily get a phone like this...
I sent my brand new phone in with a cracked screen for a possible refurb (new outer skin same old board inside) without a problem... I get my first replacement here no problem for $109, next is bumped to $199 ok... I'll deal with that I really like this phone...
Well no phone... and I am expecting a $250 some dollar bill from AT&T next month
Great... Merry Christmas
I called FedEx to confirm that they had in fact delivered the phone but I wasn't there to receive the follow up conversation, I was using my mothers phone... she didn't say much she said "Sorry Call AT&T" I don't know what that means... I just can't get my mind off this...
What are my options, do they insure packages... or did I just lose $200?
Most likely, you got screwed. AT&T is more likely to assume that you actually have the device, but are claiming to not have it to make money off of it.
Most you can do is cancel your service from AT&T, and the least is try and try and try to talk to someone at AT&T to get a new phone.
Like you said, you pretty much wasted $200...
I think you really lost..
Hey Guys! Great news...
I finally got to Asurion, it took about 4 different people to transfer me to a resolutions department...
They are sending out another one, long as it is in the same condition as the previous one that they had sent, I am happy. by previous I mean the first one that I had actually received.
I told them to terminate the other phone so the bastards can't use it. I only wish I could have done the same to my original second Infuse stolen on Campus.
Looks like I didn't lose $200.00 bucks, for a poor man this a great day
lol, I just witnessed an "Epic mouth foaming" full fledged melt down in a BB...
I started to laugh and the person gave me the stare down of doom, made me chuckle some more.
And then I asked the CSR if they had cheese to go with all the "wine" they just received... The girl teared up a bit and then asked if I would like to apply for a BB CC...
How does a grown person just "Melt down" @ 10:15 in the morning over a device that's not supposed to be released to them until the 10th?
To all the CSR's that are going to be yelled at, called names, need to get a manager or call the cops today. "We" as in the royal "We" apologize in advance. Good luck and please keep sane today.
My mom is coming in to get a phone. All she knows is that it is big, and she doesn't have to squint to see the text messages when the she doesn't have her glasses on.... She won't yell or scream at you. She won't complain about not having accesories. All you have to do is transfer her contacts and photo's. And show her how to assign ringtones. Please be nice to her
Big phones FTW!!!!!
This forum has actually made me feel bad for what the CSR's go through. I've always been more than polite to them (because who wants to help an asshole?) but I've silently resented them for not trying to be more sympathetic. Well I see why now, they put up with so much of peoples **** it makes them callous. I'm sure we have some members on this forum that are CSRs and I would love to hear some horror stories :laugh:
Thank you!!!! Lol. Its not always fun with some customers but they usually make for great stories down the road.

I actually just got off the phone with Verizon to ask about International roaming plan options and asked about shipping date for the Note 3 for the hell of it.
The woman I spoke to was like 'Oh yeah, we have it'
I got excited.
Then she said 'It's available on 10/10 for pre-order'
Sadness ensues.
Oh well,..one of my friends said it as well as someone on the forum that the best part of getting a new phone is the anticipation. I've been having lots of best parts with all this anticipation!!
Only (6) more days until this amazing device is in my hands!!! I'll have all my accessories [static screen protector, Spigen case, 64GB Samsung Pro Micro SD] here sitting at my desk eagerly awaiting it's arrival.
We will be treated to some very Epic, Epic I tell you, tales of the stupidity and audacity of unreasonable consumers in the next 2 weeks.
Things I have heard people tell CSR's in a "loud" tone to voice their personal displeasure of not getting what they want on launch day of many phones @ the Corporate Sprint Store on La Cienega & 3rd in Beverly Hills.
"Well why aren't there any covers??
How am I supposed to protect my phone?
I am holding you responsible if I scratch my phone!!
What kind of Company are you??
I can't wait to move to another carrier
I want to speak to a manager
What do mean we can't call Samsung and get this fixed.
Do you know who I am
I spend "X" amount in this store every year
I need a Xanax
You just wasted an hour of my time
What do you mean I could have made an appointment
I have important business to do and I absolutely need this phone"
In my country........
Eventually police show up because a customer or 5 will call them even if the CSR's won't.
I have dealt with the same store for years now. They try to help as much as they possibly can and the majority of the customers appreciate them calling corp sprint and working stuff out. Maybe because its a corporate store or maybe because of the clientele. But Christ, some people are complete douche nozzles... Without any tack or situational awareness. But the CSR's at this store are definitely very understanding and courteous.
Heh. Any chance this is in LA? I've been on the phone all morning with an AT&T rep who's been calling AT&T stores in the LA area trying to find me a black Note 3. None of them have inventory, but apparently some crazy lady is calling around giving everyone a hard time lol.
EDIT: Turns out they do have the black ones in stock after all. Sorry for the misinformation!

Unfortunately, I have to get mine through an AT&T company store because they're doing an early upgrade for me.

Not sure if you heard the news stories about two "adult" women knocking the crap out of each other at an apple store over the "golden" iphone. There just aren't enough of them so they started brawling. That is just so pathetic, it is a phone, you can order one and get it later on. Yeah I want my phone early, called BB, certainly didn't drive there to day and was told nope, the 10th. I was cool with that and figured it would be the case but hey it never hurts to ask.

Yeah there a few stories of people being .. people...
On the bright side my mom got her device and is a happy camper.Which ever CSR she dealt with was courteous and spent time showing her a bunch of stuff and filming it at the same time. Gave her a copy so she wouldn't forget any of the new things she was shown. She gave a $35 tip for their time. And bought the person a starbucks coffee.
So I remembered watching this video of an amazing novelty case for the iPhone 6 and 6+ and always wanted to get one...
Turns out it was actually made!(albeit a different manufacturer) You can go to their site here to check it out.
Is anyone else seriously interested in something like this? Turns out they don't ship to the states but Canadians can get it! I'm sort of hoping on the off chance for someone to order one for me to buy... It's about $19 CAD or $15.50 USD. Shipping is about $33.50 CAD or $27.20 USD for you folks interested.
Hey where does it say that it doesn't ship to USA?

I tried checking out and the only countries listed are as follows: Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei, and Canada.
Is no one really that interested? I can see why the cost of the case might not even be worth it at all. Just wanting to see if there was anywhere else since I've scoured the webs and haven't found one for our note 4.
That is possibly the stupidest case design I have ever seen. I'm betting after a few days use your phone will probably fly off it flipping it around like that!
Design looks cheap and ugly to me, and the nanchaku trick thing is stupid. Why would you want to do that, and with an $800 phone no less?
Sorry, but thats my 2 cents.

Lol! Like everyone else said... Looks silly to me. And risky! Why not just get a butterfly knife if you feel the need to flip stuff? Safer that way. Maybe us naysayers are too old for this stuff. Beside the fact (putting aside whether it's cool or not) I wouldn't even think of it unless I had insurance on it. God I feel like an old fart

I have a balisong, but you can't exactly flip that in public
The phone for me was purchased second hand for a fraction of the posted $800 so I can understand people feeling iffy about that if they did pay that much.
All-in-all, understood everyone.
I do like the adjustable angle to stand your phone up. All of these kickstand cases only have one set angle--the bad one.
