YESSSSS!!!!
and my 16GB and Hdmi cable came today! now just gotta wait for the case and screen protector!
IF ANYONE HAS SPECIFIC QUESTION ABOUT THE PHONE I WILL TEST and make videos! if need be!
awesome bro!!
unboxing and a review vid please! Can't wait til i pick mine up from the store tomorrow. Congrats by the way.
Man I am so frustrated with T-Mobile right now. So did your order show up in UPS's system? If so, when? T-Mobile assures me that my order will be here today but its still not showing up on UPS.
You guys will be happy with this phone, I've been playing with it for a week now...no lags and I'm getting 6-8mbps in my area. I like it.

I did. T-mobile has no clue whats going on. The agent told me that I should receive it by the 25th. Then said because I got the txt I should receive it by the end of the day. So basically anytime between now and the 25th. :-(
As for UPS, did you talk to a live operator? I just said my tracking number into the phone.
I don't know why you couldn't just wait until Wednesday and walk into a store to buy one. All this headache just to maybe get it one day ahead of time is pointless.

Yea, I haven't been under contract with T-Mobile for 2 years and when I called them over the weekend to discuss this phone, they told me they would knock $100 off the price if I did a upgrade to extend my contact 2 years. I just can't stand the fact of being locked into any service provider for 2 years especially one that might not even exist in 1 year. I just upgrade my phone every 6 months by selling my old ones on EBAY. If you do it like this then you only end up paying $200 for new devices and never have to sign another contract.
Meh...
Got mine at noon. Just opened it but I still don't know how to feel about it. Feels...different. I had N1 NS and now G2x but there hasn't been any WOW moments yet...hopefully when i boot up NFS or Dungeon Defenders i'll be wowed, not putting my NS up for sale quite yet...

Same here I love UPS, N E way this thing is a MONSTA!!!! Keeping it short and sweet, I got a new toy two play wit
I ordered Friday at 10am online. Showed Monday delivery. Standard shipping.
Monday came and no UPS update. I called Tmobile and they said it was shipped Saturday. I called UPS and they said nothing was picked up. I called back to Tmo and they said it wasn't shipped because the phone wasn't due out until Wednesday and those were only pre-orders.
After I cancelled my online order over the phone, 20 minutes later UPS updated and showed it was scheduled for Tuesday delivery. I have it now.
UPS said that they don't pickup Ground packages until the next business day. So if anyone ordered with standard ground, it wasn't shipped out until last night. I live 1 hour away from where it was shipped hence why it might have been a speedy delivery.
I have it now and its awesome. I came from an N1. Finally Maps is working fully and 3D games are finally enjoyable.
I'd say if you don't have it by now, call and cancel the order and pick one up tomorrow at a store.
I just got my phone today and I have 1 bar of signal strength in a fairly populated city where I normally have good coverage. I've tried everything, even the wifi application, with a 50 MB download, all to no avail. Is there a way to force this thing to ride on AT&T? TMO's signal just isn't cutting it.

Does any one have an idea when we can psychically buy a transformer in a store?
I have loose reports that Best Buy is getting a "full tablet assortment" in May. (By loose reports I mean hearsay from a Best Buy Mobile manager.) My best guess would be next week or the one after.

I actually got my Transformer yesterday from a physical store in CA -- Frys Electronics.
I got mine from a B&M Frys store yesterday too, but I don't think it's gonna help since as far as I know the stores that had them only have *ONE* each.
I was there at 8:20 and when I was at the counter getting the papers printed, someone else was asking for it.

what city??
Surprisingly I picked up mine today at the Tempe, AZ Fry's store. Just saw it online around noon and ordered it for an in-store pickup.
Then I was nervous for the next few hours I had to stay at work hoping it wasn't a mistake or they wouldn't accidentally give it to someone else. But I got to Fry's and held my breath at the counter and it felt like it took her forever to retrieve it, but she finally came back with it in hand.
I thought for sure I was screwed and might be waiting weeks for this thing to come in stock since I'm not the type of person to spam F5 on NewEgg at 3 oclock in the morning or get in a line at a retail store (like the Apple folks do). Think I just got really lucky this time I guess. It was the last one at the store.

I was excited.
I've been to bb today and the guy who couldn't tell me specific details buy he did say they are changing the desktop space for tablets and in may they will definitely have all tablets... I think it's true they are pushing the playbook hard so they probably have to give it a exclusive launch schedule till may... gonna be a hot summer!

I've been trying to get a date out of my two local Best Buy shops and the best I have been able to get is a single sales girl who said they got an email yesterday morning that said BBY would not receive them until mid May. That's these two stores at least.
I'm still going to bug the crap out of them though until I get one because without a date in their system it can still arrive tomorrow.
Well after several great months with the 4G, I have to move on. Thanks to all of you that helped. And I hope that I was able to help a few people along the way also. I am now the proud owner of a HTC Sensation, hope to see some of you in those forums!
How'd you get one? I'm going to order one over the phone using my upgrade but going to go through retentions to get it cheaper.
I want one but unfortunately I don't have the funds.

Wal-Mart has been screwing up and selling them early, funny thing is I told them No upgrade, no contract, full retail... I still got it for $148.88... Pure luck, so far this phone is a lot of fun, will be even better once the bootloader is unlocked and a stable CM7 is made for it!

I have read random reports of this happening at various Wal-Mart's around the country. I guess it depends on whether or not the rep is paying attention, or knows what they are doing.
I got an upgrade through retentions, unfortunately it had to be done through them so no $150 Walmart deal here. However it finally showed up in Tmo's systems today so I called a little while ago and ordered it through them. $250 with $50 MIR. This week is gonna drag ass while I wait for UPS...

The force is strong with this one.
I got mine at Wal-Mart last Wednesday. They are selling it for $600 off-contract, but I printed out an article online that showed T-Mobile will be selling it for $549.99, and they matched it!
Seeing as how I just ordered 3 new batteries for 3.95 and an otterbox for 22.00 i think I'll probably be here for awhile

I'm going to be here a while as well. I'm not going to buy into a new contract until i see how the ATT/T-Mobile Merger goes. If they start jacking my contract around. I'm leaving.
I ordered one as well, but ****ing dickheads shipped it out via ground! I asked for express shipping or the fastest they have.
On the email TMO sent me, it said shipping method was overnight, today I check the UPS tracking number, it says its been shipped out via ground.

Ground shipping is usually pretty damn quick. A shipping label was created Monday night and it shipped this morning and UPS says it will be here day after tomorrow. I know its the day after release but I am still pretty pleased.

Anyone who got theirs early seeing any dead pixels? Crank up the brightness and test your screen here:

I have one small grey dead pixel in middle of the screen. Bottom right corner of screen also seems to be slightly raised too. Think if I go to AT&T store they'll let me swap it today or make me wait until Sunday?

Flawless display. Good luck on exchange

I've had not a single issue. I was only worried about a overly warm display and that was solved as soon as the white HTC logo came up on my phone...
Or was it supposed to be yellow and came out white?
Who knows. keanu.jpg.
sorry to hear about your misfortune and I hope they replace it.
Lame, I have dead pixel right about the hour of the clock... stupid.
edit
Actually after looking closer it's dust or an imperfection in the glass.
Tried 2 stores, both told me I have to wait until Sunday for an exchange... even though they have them in back - LAME!
So pre-ordering was a waste of time for me, won't do that again.
BS...I pitched a fit and I got a swap. F att. They get enough of my money that I don't give them an inch.

Just wondering, why exactly are the stores giving me a hard time about waiting to exchange on Sunday? All of the stores have it in the back... Are they hoping to "sell out" of the inventory they have and get sales points or something? Or are the managers/reps just too lazy to have to jump through a few hoops for me?
I have one more store in my area that I may try on Saturday... any advice on what to say to get them to budge?

Laziness / AT&T policy.
For everything like that you should speak to the Manager. They can make anything happen.
Well darn I thought mine was flawless but today noticed a stuck/dead pixel.
I placed an order on the grey version last Friday but no ETA yet. The gold version is in stock though.
On Amazon I placed order for gray phone it was placed on back order. I canceled that order on Sunday. Placed new order Monday and it went straight thru. Phone will be here today Wednesday.

The Gold has gone out of stock and then back in stock while the Grey has remained out of stock the entire time. I called Blu's sales office (who lied on release day about it being Amazon's fault) and again they said that it was Amazons fault and i needed to contact them to see when the phone would be available. These freakin people, how do you run a company like this?

No one is saying the gold is not in stock and available now. Some of us are skeptical about your claim to have purchased and received the *grey* Pure XL from Amazon without waiting. The grey has never been in stock according to Amazon's web site are there are people who have pre-ordered and have been waiting for it from the first day the page was up (Oct 19) without any word of availability from Amazon. It seems improbable to us that you simply ordered it last week and received it in a couple of days as you claim. So we'd like you to post a photo of your grey Pure XL.
Anyone kind of wondering whether or not the Grey edition actually exists? Its now over a month since the 'launch' date, the gold unit has been in and out of stock several times on Amazon with no sign of the Grey aside from the "Temporarily out of stock" label that hasnt changed once. The way that they keep blaming Amazon when its clearly NOT THEIR FAULT really makes me wonder what a company like this is capable of. If the Grey unit never shows, and it was only the Gold all along, I guess i just wouldnt be surprised one bit at this point.
Edit: Come to think of it, I dont believe that ive seen any video reviews of this phone that werent the Gold version.
Amazon just sent me an ETA for Nov 11 for the grey phone I ordered on Oct 23!

Man, that's how I felt with the gold and pre order, not pre-order dilemma. My decision to wait a day to do my pre-order cost like one extra day which at that point had already been way past the whole 9/29 original date was my feeling. Phone is worth it. You'll love it. Now, I wonder if the black will ever surface. Fortunately I wanted the gold to begin with!
