FYI if anyone is in NYC midtown area today Samsung has a display/event going on at Madison Square Park... If you tell them you are GS3 owner you are a "VIP" and get a prize.
I got a $20 gift card, not sure what else they are giving out.

the reason i bought skyrocket was hoping att going to launch LTE in san francisco bayarea by end of 2011! i mean they selling the phone 149.99$ over here!
now that there is no LTE for me in 2011, there is no point of keeping skyrocket.
i thinking of returning skyrocket and get galaxy nexus!
"Additionally, AT&T will launch 4G LTE (Long Term Evolution) in six new markets on Nov. 20: Charlotte, Indianapolis, Kansas City, Las Vegas, Oklahoma City, and San Juan, Puerto Rico.
The Nov. 20 launches will expand AT&T 4G LTE to 15 markets total, meeting its 2011 market commitment. AT&T plans to reach 70 million Americans by year-end 2011"

Most customer-unfriendly carrier is slow to roll out 4G, news at 11.
Wow, I was really expecting NYC and the SF Bay Area to be two of the 15 markets by the end of 2011.
Galaxy Nexus is not coming to AT&T.
So you wouldn't have bought the phone you'll theoretically have for two years if they launch LTE in January?

Ouch. Even SPRINT will have LTE out by then.
Yup I saw this and it angers me. I'm in NYC and exclusion off major hubs like San Francisco, Los Angeles and New York City is a proof how messed up the entire carrier is from their infrastructure all the way up to the executives.
Those three cities hold the largest customer base, and with this precedent it's clear that AT&T doesn't have enough backhaul, strategy to support the high demand in the largest cities.
Wow!, of all places you will expect the Big Apple to get LTE... you know to attract business people
there's no logic being ATT LTE market introduction
wow, OKC is one of the early markets?
love it, as i go to OKC frequently.

So I've been waiting for Best Buy to get the white Skyrocket before my 30 days is up but today was day 29 and they still didn't have it so i returned my SR to BB and went to my local corporate store. As usual the CSR was trying to talk to me about other products which i really wasn't interested in. Then he started telling me about U-Verse and to humor him i acted interested but told him i would "come back" if i wanted more info. He goes to the back to get the White SR comes back and says "my manager has a proposition for you. If you at least try U-Verse and sign u for it today he will give you the Skyrocket for free!!! Its no Contract, month to month and about $20 cheaper than my Comcast bill for the exact same service. He said if i don't like it i could cancel anytime, as long as o signed up today for installation in a few weeks his manager would give me the SR. So i did it! I'm not sold on Uverse but hey ill give it a try. But in the end I'm getting a free Skyrocket, and a $100 Visa card for having Uverse put in! What a deal!!! The rep proceeded to tell me that at&t is doing all they can to get new Uverse customers and that their basically giving away a bunch of free stuff to compete with dish/Comcast. Maybe this will work for someone else. Lovin the white Skyrocket

Honestly, I have UVerse, and it's pretty freaking reliable.
I really wish they had the 24/3 in my area, but they don't so I'm stuck on 18/1.
Still seems a LOT faster then 18/1 though.
Nice.

No this all happened today in like 30 minutes. I got the phone right there with zero cash out of pocket! pretty friggin sweet
Rogers sells the phone in their stores for $750, online is $650. However, the skyrocket on AT&T is only $550.
So there you go, if you want to buy this thing flat out, it's better to head down to your closest border crossing and find it on the other side.
This also applies to almost every other phone as well!

Another option is to go with Kijiji. I got my SII LTE for $450.
I guess if you live close to the border it's a good option... factor in Gas, exchange, duty, etc... and then the unlocking, and it's not really much of a savings. I considered going south for the Note, but decided to just wait a few months and it will drop substantially in price due to all of the above factors.

Well usually when you head down, you don't go to just buy a phone... Maybe hit up the casino, pick up a few cartons and booze bottles. Clothes, etc... Or maybe that's just me.
Also, FYI, the exchange is pretty much 1:1 and there is no duty on the phones. Their dollar is doing **** so take advantage of it! Their economy isn't going to be in the ****ter forever!

Spent $65 on gas ..... if I need a tank of gas to cross the border then there is the time, unlocking the device, finding and setting up the correct APNs
Though I may go to the US for a week this summer and if I am already there.
May look into the Galaxy Note, if can get a horizontal pouch for it.

They gave me a call and offered me a whole bunch of stuff, I didn't want any of it because I already have a fully unlimited everything plan so I took the phones from them instead.
She reduced my plan by $15 too, so now I have unlimited MMS, calling, SMS and North America long distance with no roaming, 6 gb LTE for like $60 :-\
Trying to get my other lines on the same thing but my contacts don't work for free so it's happening slowly...

Contacts eh? U must have a corporate plan then. Unlimited North America everything is pretty suite, but u also have 4 other lines, so that helps too. U prob have other services with them as well, no?

Not corporate and definitely don't have other services, I would hate to have a contract on my Internet and I don't have cable because I have FTA satellite.

Gang,
I just got back from my AT&T store here in the Dallas area. They have 12-15 phones in stock and the manager said they will start selling them tomorrow beginning at 12:00pm local time.
You may want to call/stop by your stores and see what they say.
I wil be there when the store opens and if I manage to get one I'll let you know!

I'm curious, can AT&T "authorized retailer" stores also receive HOX shipments earlier than May 6th? If so, I feel that this would be a much better way to convince someone to sell me one early...

Well, I've been calling around today. I did find a local "Authorized Retailer" that said they were getting their shipment in this Monday and were selling them. I even asked twice just to make sure. Giving them a call Monday morning to confirm. If so, I will do my best to grab one early.
I just got back form my local AT&T store to play with the One X and ask when they were going to start selling it. They already have the stock but are going to sell it on the 6th... but anyway, the One X is probably the most capable phone I've ever used.
It's a shame, my stores is one of the ones that follows the rules... Lol. So they're selling on the 6th.
I pre ordered though, so it's just a few more days, but I was still hoping to cancel it and buy it tomorrow, haha.
Haha yeah i think my store also follow the rules. I also pre ordered mine but through Amazon Wireless to save so major dough because I live in CA. Supposed to get it on the 9th . I hope I get it earlier though, but who doesn't lol. I can't stop thinking about this thing!! I probably shouldn't have gone and played with it today because it just makes me so much more impatient..
Did any of you who talked to a store with them in stock pre-order through that same store? I am curious if they would let one go early if you had already paid for it...
---------- Post added at 04:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:43 PM ----------
Just called my local store - they won't tell me if they already have any in stock. They just keep saying you can pre-order now or buy in store on May 6th...
To answer your question, I pre ordered through Amazon Wireless, but either way, I don't think they would have let one go just for me....
the sales person in the corporate store said they will be getting shipment on Sunday, i asked if i can get one by pre ordering, he said that i wont need to, just walk in, : D
The people getting it early are so lucky! Often times, employees get threatened with facing some consequences for selling the phone before release. But others just want a commission.
The Galaxy S III is just around the corner. Why pick up the One X early instead of seeing what Samsung has produced?

Hey VZW folk! I have come over from the dark side... aka T-Mobile. Got sick of the crappy service after just 30 days. Paid my ETF and moved back to the best network. Cell phone service is definitely something "you get what you pay for". Happy to be back, and my GS3 is running like a top. :good:
