Order mine online last Monday, and not had anything from them so far. :-(
Have you tried phoning or emailing them?
I'm waiting on mine too. No exact delivery date given but told it should be within 2 weeks which means they haven't got a clue.
I did read a comment on wmpoweruser that they had to send the 1st shipment back due to quality issues as something was faulty on them. Don't know If it's true but could be the reason for the delay.
I also want to know if the Omnia 7 from T-mobile is locked?
I would have thought so but I thought you could always ask tmobile to unlock it for you.
Or easier still buy from a reseller online and it comes unlocked and it's cheaper, the only downside is 1gb against 3gb and not as fast speed but you can either pay 5 pounds a month to upgrade or chance your luck buy ringing them and ask to have the full speed unlocked. Say it's an android phone as that worked for some people.
Thanks chaps, I will give them a call on Monday and see what they say.
I was told by them that there were QC issues and the first shipment was returend to suppliers.

What does this mean?
Sorry, I was in a rush earlier.
I meant If you buy the phone from a reseller it will be much cheaper but it will have a 1GB data allowance against 3GB when purchased direct. And you will get not get the full high speed internet, you will be throttled down.
You can phone them up and try your luck and they might remove the speed limit, If not you pay £5 a month to upgrade to the full speed and 3GB.
But compare the prices and It's not worth buying direct and resellers are normally unlocked with no branding.
Plus don't forget Quidco or Topcashback etc for extra money back, about £30 on average.
Phoned them again today, and they said they "might" get some in Friday :-( but they said that about today too.
Turns out the QC issue they had with the phones was with the packaging...
Oye. When they mentioned the Friday delivery they told 'but they still need to go through QC first' implying they don't expect them to ship tomorrow.
Well hopefully it should be sorted soon as a lot of people want that phone (inc me)
Bad news according to the buymobilephones twitter account. Says tmobile have informed them It will take up to 2 weeks before stock arrive
It's getting to a stage where the windows phone stock is as rare as kinect stock.

Sounds like real bad news for us who want one
Got a message from T-mobile, "my phone is in stock" , i need to call back to make payment.
Odd, I already payed online I thought. However I rang anyway.
Now, out of stock !!!!!!!!!!! I was not happy.
They only had a small number of units and I took too long to ring back.
I've now told them to send the next one they get, and take payment.
nope, got mine from orange in london cos i knew they had them. I was with t mobile but they said they had software issues and wouldnt be releasing the phone until it was sorted or something so being the impatient guy that i am i went to Orange (london)
T-Mobile do *not* have stock of the Omnia7. Three have had stock since Tuesday and Orange got stock today.
If you've ordered already, best cancel and go for Orange on next day delivery. You can still piggyback the T-Mobile signal, and you get free picture messaging too
Just tried T-Mobile again and they have no idea when the 'packaging' issue will be resolved. Wouldn't be surprised if Everything Everywhere is deliberately letting Orange get the initial sales for some reason.
Regardless, I couldn't get them to do an 18 month contract below £40, even though Buymobiles.net are doing it at 18 month £30.
I got bored and ordered from Orange - If you ring them and push, they will do the handset free on 18 month Panther 40 for £35 per month using a credit on your bill. You also get the standard orange benefit of being able to upgrade after 15 months.
The reason I did it is I'm very impatient and sick of waiting !
Mickey
Nice one Micky. Ordered mine online. Paid £99 with £27.50/month. Should save about £80 over the usual price, so happy with that
'Packagin issue'? That has to be the most idiotic reason to not offer a product at launch. Especially when it's the only winpho7 handset they offer.
thats wierd!
my omnia 7 came 2 days ago from tmobile?!!
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...
FYI
Costco has G2x for $49 for a "new to T-mobile "contract PLUS you get free case, car charger and a decent 35 dollar ish blutooth headset.
This is 30 dollars lower than just two weeks ago, so if you bought then, you can get that 30 back in cash. That refund part is why I thought I should post it out
The card with the price said it ends on the 31st, so I am not sure if you need to go in at that time to get the refund, or if its just the fact the price went down and you are aware of it.....my guess is you gotta be in the store wanting the refund at the time the sale is still going.
good luck

Appreciate the post on this deal. I do feel it fair to warn others about my experience with Costco's cellphone kiosk.
After getting my Vibrant there I will never buy a phone from Costco again. After the price adjusted I had to exchange my handset, they insisted I pay the difference for tax on the new phone and even tried to tac on some more stuff. They wanted me to pay about $50 just to exchange my phone! In the end the people at the phone kiosk (they arent actually owned by costco) would NOT help me, the store manager for that costco ended up just ringing it up for the ~$50 at the register and overriding it to $0 so Costco actually ended up paying the kiosk guys $50 so I could get a new phone! (Yay Costco manager! I know she didn't have to do this). I had tried the corporate store but they insisted I go back to Costco. Booo those guys!
I bought my G2X from an authorized reseller other than Costco and although I didn't run into the same problem, I did have to exchange the phone and took it to a corporate store, they insisted I go to the exact retailer I got it from. So I guess the moral is, T-Mobile makes your life miserable if you buy from a reseller and you have a problem, thus I will only get from T-Mobile corporate stores from now on, if I was a reseller I would be pissed about this, but thats not my problem.

If i bought my phone at costco and have a bad one as far as freezing / random reboots go do u think costco will acknowledge that problem and let me exchange it?
I only ask because they didn't seem to be experts on the phones that they were selling

I have not done the actual returns to Costco like the other poster said that sucked. They SAID that 30 days return phone and service....90 days return phone to Costco....with Costco being responsible for all things hardware, and the kiosk just doing the service side.
Do a complete system erase and see if that helps, if not, I would go straight to return counter of Costco, and let them work it, as opposed to starting at kioak.
sound like a YMMV thing too, so tell the girls that color looks really good on them... early on in the process.

Just exchanged my phone and had zero issues. I had a USB problem, in particular. The guy at the kiosk was curious about the issue so he tried to plug it into his computer and was able to replicate the issue (computer doesn't react to device at all).
Swapped it out for a shiny new one. And due to the way that he did the transaction, my timer for my purchase restarted again and I have another 90 days to return this new phone. This should give me plenty of time to determine whether or not I want to return it and get one of the new devices that are hitting the market soon.
I think you SHOULD be fine as long as the price and rebates are the same or less than when you originally bought it. What happened with mine is that the price had changed from just $50 to like $350 with a mail in rebate, so first they insisted the only way they could do it was to give me back my $50 and I had to just pay the $350 and get the $150 MIR and I was just SOL on the deal I got before, because Costco doesnt "exchange" anything, they just give you a refund and then you can buy a new one, and in my case a new one was $300 more! Anyway, I won't rehash the whole thing but in the end they were unwilling to help me, and the store management needed to step up and do the right thing.
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....
Will be available online and in-stores! Get your tents people!!!

They sold out in my area within 20 minutes of "reshelving" them. All three stores in the city.
Some Best Buys began selling them already (around 8pm Saturday night where I live). I got one of the last ones at my local Best Buy before they sold out. I would advise getting there really early if you want to pick one up...
Thankfully I talked to someone I know at a local BB and they said they had a "good amount" and they weren't selling any tonight (even to employees).
Even better is the fact that its only 1 per customer.... no stupid horders ordering 8 or 10 just to resell for a fraction of a profit.

Where is your BB?
1 per customer isn't going to stop those who want more (to sell) unfortunately. They'll bring their entire family and friends..
no need for tents sold out. When I read about the price drop lastnight on engadget (around 8pm). I rushed to two bestbuy stores near my place. The first one i went to removed them from shelves for return to HP. The second bestbuy had over 30 of them on the shelf. Bought 3 (would have bought more if I had money), thinking theyll do a refund on price difference if they will sell it 99/149 tomorrow. Around 11pm the new BB touchpad policy popped out in the internet. I was angry and frustrated. I've searched online, all sold out. In the morning I callled all retailers near my place. Sold out. Angry at myself for going bestbuy. Around 7pm, I read online that bestbuy will reduce price and new FAQ from BB states that they will refund difference for any touchpad bought after june 19. Happy and excited. Called a few bestbuy, each with different things to say: we won't refund difference, will be on sale tomorrow but were sold out now (huh?), call hp for a refund on difference (hp don't have my money....hello). This was going nowhere, hopeless. Finally, I called a BB that's 19miles away. Lady I spoke told me they are sold out and that they were sold for 99/149. I asked her if they will do price difference for the touchpads I bought lastnight. With verification from her superiors, she told me that they will honor it. Drove there right away. Got my money back. Hehe. Now I'm a happy camper.
