Just found this little tidbit while reading some info about this phone. It looks like IntoMobile received an invite to a Samsung launch party for an unannounced device. Guess we'll find out in a few weeks.
Can't post link since I'm new...doh
But is this for Tmobile or is it for all the U.S. carriers? I don't want to wait for like 3 months of Tmobile exclusivity until it comes to at&t.
Yea, I wish they would hurry up and announce a carrier. Hopefully it will come out to all 4 carriers so that nobody will be left out.
I've pasted the info from IntoMobile below:
"There are a lot of rumors about the Samsung Galaxy S launch date floating around the interwebs, but we’ve just received something that might point to a more reliable launch window for Samsung’s upcoming flagship Android phone. We’ve just been asked to save June 29th on our calendars for some mysterious Samsung launch party in New York City. Details are slim (well, none) at this point, but the invite to the smartphone maker’s launch event gets our speculative juices flowing.
The invite informs us that “Samsung Mobile brings you the next generation in Android phones.” Now, if you’ve been keeping up with Galaxy S rumors at all, you’ll know that this particular smartphone boasts a Super AMOLED display, the Hummingbird graphical powerhouse GPU, and is powered by the Android 2.1 OS. All that adds up to what is very likely considered by the South Korean mobile phone giant to be their next generation of Android phones.
Other rumors have the Galaxy S hitting T-Mobile (NYSE: DT) on July 21st. There’s also the possibility that the handset will hit AT&T (NYSE: T) later this year. We could see the handset being launched for one of these (or both) carriers on June 29th, but that’s just speculation. We really have no idea what this launch party is for, but we’d wager that it has something to do with the Galaxy."
I"m not sure I understand why it is so important to keep it all secret. While they go on and on not telling us anything, some folks will get tired of waiting and buy something else. I guess that's why I'm not in marketing...because some things just don't make sense to me.
Agreed. I just want the device as soon as possible. I don't know if it's only getting limited release because of quantity limitations or what, but they know they're going to sell a ton here in the US, why not just get it here?
June 29th?! Nice, that is same date they unveiled the SGS for US carriers! Here is hoping for another mid-july release!

http://www.ozcarguide.com/technology/cellphone-pda/2845-sprint-htc-evo-4g-price
As of last week, Sprint made it available for customers to sign up and receive updates on when the HTC Evo 4G would release. Today, Best Buy has done the same over at their website.
Now that Best Buy was officially talking about the HTC Evo 4G I thought I drop by one of their outlets and see if they had any information to share. A Best Buy rep, from the Geek Squad, had advised that they will be selling the HTC Evo 4G on a $199 Sprint contract plan. He had no further information other than this but we can deduce it must be the 2 year plan. So now that we know it is priced similar to the Verizon HTC Incredible (and the now defunct Verizon Nexus One), it looks like the final decision would be based on which carrier you prefer.
OZCAR guesses that customers will more than likely choose their new Android smartphone based on this criteria since the phones are almost evenly matched. Personally I would opt for the Sprint HTC Evo 4G as it does have a few added extras.

i think saying "a few added extras" is a huge understatement...
Excellent! That's about what I was hoping though I was afraid they'd put it like the TP2. A buddy of mine has the HD2 and I was checking it out since it should be pretty similar. I liked the size, didn't seem obnoxious in my pocket. Can't wait!
This site is EXTREEMLY duboius
This site is not a trusted site for information. If the $199 price point is accurate I will be extreemly happy, but honestly I am expecting to hear $249 on May 19, 2010.

May 19th, 2010? Just wondering if you read that date somewhere or if you are just speculating? The "rumor" I believe Engadget was stating is a potential release date of June 6th or 13th. May would be wonderful, but I'm not holding out too much hope for that date as of now...

That's the release date for the phone. The speculated full spec/price/plan information / media blitz is rumored to start in mid-May.

Again, June 6th/13th is the release of the phone to sale to the public. Mid-May is when the rumored date that Sprint will release all pricing/plan/formal release date.
In short, May is when Sprint will start pushing the device to the public, letting us know when it will be released, how much it will cost, and the plan details for it.
June 6th/13th will be when the phone is released so that you, me and John Doe may purchase it.

FroYo (Android 2.2) is expected to be announced on May 19th as well. I'm curious to see the upgrade path for the EVO 4G to Android 2.2. Hopefully it won't be one of those endless waits for an upgrade. Maybe they'll switch to 2.2 last minute before release(probably not...)

This is very unlikely, and has been discussed quite a bit. The Evo will be shipping most likely with a modified version of 2.1 that supports 4G, however --
The Evo team has been rumored to be working very closely with FroYo, and will support it upon its release. The Evo, although not shipping with 2.2, will receive the update in a very timely manner (after the N1, of course)
Gotta remember this is Sprint's flagship device, and Dan's baby - there is no way they're going to let this thing fall behind in any way of any other device.
Cost
Now let's see what the off contract price is as I just got my Hero in December.
Dear all, I was initially awaiting for the countdown of my DHD from Expansys, and supposedly its another 11 days to the 11th of Oct whereby our DHD will be released... But when I checked my order status just now, the estimated delivery date becomes 19 days... Is it that the system has problems, or is it that HTC decided to postpone the release date of DHD?
I'm expecting some sort of delay from HTC. I think we're probably going to be ending up looking towards the end of October for release and us actually having the handset in our hands.
MPD still says 11th. We shall see.
Jeez dont be saying that. I have sold my 2 phones and now working with an old Nokia which has the cover hanging off it.
I hope that aint true
If that is true i may have to go and buy an Orange San Francisco until then ...
T-mobile have delayed their launch it's in November now!
I've also put pre-order with mobilephonesdirect.com they were admant it will be 7th Oct.
In my past experience release dates mean nothing. There always seam to be a delay of some sort. I agree with the end of October being a more realistic time of this phone getting in my hand. I wanted it back on September 15th but good things come to those who wait I suppose.

I am in a similar position, using 9500 Commie with a semi broken keyboard
The release date will delay in Finland even further, or do you think that HTC has made enough phones this time to answer the demand?
I too am suspecting a delay .... there have been no reviews by any of the android sites which is normal a week or so before launch to gain interest for the phone and the blogging has been quiet as well.
Disappointed but not surprised, again it will be interesting to hear what the cause of this is. I am watching the prices of Desires on ebay as they are going down in price and am wondering whether the DHD is worth the differential!!
Hope
Hmm ive looked at quite a few different sites and no one elso seems to have changed their dates. So i hoping it is just a problem on expansys part and then everyone else will get their HD's in the first week or 2 of next month!
I can't see this phone being released by the end of next week. There are no solid reviews out. Normally release models have been sent out for review. As long as it's out for November 16th my upgrade date I'll be happy.
Sent from my HTC Hero
Hopefully they've just sold out of their first batch, and the dates on the site reflect the expected arrival of the second batch...?
Hopefully sub69
I called Vodafone tonight, they still have no release date for the Desire HD, but their Desire Z release date is November 1st. Somehow the guy managed to talk me into buying a Galaxy S.

Solid reviews? Have there been any yet. Normally Engadget are pretty hot with reviews and I'm keeping my ear close to the ground for any rumblings of hands on other than the leaks.
same here suffer with the nokia n85...
clove as same stock sipping date: "First stock due 6th October", i hope that it will stay the same.
My amazon.co.uk account says:
Dispatch Estimate: 11 Oct 2010
Delivery Estimate: 13 Oct 2010 - 14 Oct 2010 (to germany )
Clove still says 6th october for first stock - hopefully that will arrive on time and I'll get one of them
All Swedish online retailers I've checked have October 14th-16th as the release date, and that's how it's been ever since the DHD first appeared on those sites. It's never had an earlier date than that in Sweden.
My order at Expansys still has the 11th/12th October delivery date. Let's hope it stays that way
guyz..it's at least 2 years that release date of brand new hi-end htc devices it's the first week of november...
Just for giggles...while we're patiently awaiting for our shiny new devices. "Summer" was the word from Sammy regarding release for 8.9 Galaxy Tab. Throw out your guess, and we'll see who hits closest come release time! Hell, I'll even buy ya a beer / coffee / slurpee / milk!
I say July 13th
(and please refrain from "omfg! this is the 10.1 forums!!" They will most likely share one forum, you troll wannabe!)
Definitely after June.
Sent from my CM7-powered T-Mobile G2
Since Samsung said June 8th for the 10.1, I would imagine that the 8.9 won't be that far off. I am guessing July 8th.
(Interesting bits regarding pricing and availability start at 28:10)

I just want to point out that one of my suppliers in HK are saying that the Note can be arriving by end of September. Believe it or not, up to you. Hopefully, their update is true.

They need to announce it soon then
Most retailers here show an expected release around 27th September. There's some on 26th, 28th, 1st Oct, 3rd, but most show late next week. If that's the case then by next week I'll have what to do.
Seriously, it's releasing in 2 days and no pricing or availability details??
This is ridiculous.
Has a company ever announced a product and simply never released it?
Others are noticing this too:

Yes, but Sept 25 for over 100 countries. If there was such a massive launch scheduled within 2 days, don’t you think we’d hear something about it? Pricing, which European stores were going to carry it, unboxing videos, hands-on reviews with retail units, etc.
But nothing!
So this makes me think that those countries aren’t getting it soon. And if they are delayed, then you better believe we will be, too.
This blows.
In italy nobody have notice about the new Note...
I did a quick search for Samsung's IFA 2013 announcement's and The Verge noted the GN10.1 2014 Edition was slated for an October release with no specific date provided. Just figures.

I have seen no official release date from Samsung for anywhere. I have seen speculation all over the place including Sept 24, Sept 25 and Oct 4. Nut all of those dates have come from blogs and rss news, nothing official.

According to Samsung Switzerland (on Facebook) we'll be getting it 'mid-october', the LTE version 'end of october'.
For a device that's supposed to be available in three weeks, I find this lack of information very strange.
I don't get why so many tech companies don't get this. This is why Apple is as successful as it is, they don't pull this kind of thing.

Galaxy Note 3 (deservedly) Galaxy Gear (not so deservedly) is taking all the attention it appears. However, they could throw us a bone here and there. I know that they don't expect a lot of sales but still, as I said in another thread, if you want to gain loyal customers, you don't pull this kind of stuff.
Pull what kind of stuff?
They showed a upcoming product, never announced a release date, and have yet to do so (likely because they don't have one yet). I'm not sure what the alternative is other than to just make one up and then miss it?
Personally I'd rather them wait to announce anything until it's a sure bet and I respect them for that.
Nothing pisses me off more than having a release date and it gets missed or there is a shortage.
I really don't understand the current hysteria lol...
Looks like this may shed some light on when it's coming....

That these variants will be released as rumored before end of September early October. ( which seems promising for Middle east, Africa & European countries )
The LTE 4G version seems to be released on a later stage - probably November. ( For North America )

I agree, a release date that is announced but then not honored is also very annoying.
What I mean is that they announce a device, with some kind of release date (at least an approximate one; at least in some areas) but yet there is very little information (for example the price) out there fore interested customers.
In my opinion, if you announce a device you need to be able to present a release schedule and reccommended retail pricing. Otherwise people are going to get excited about your device at the announcement but then get frustrated during the wait of indeterminate length.
This is the example that I experienced: The Note is announced at the end of august. Weeks later, online stores (where I live) still didn't have it in their catalogue and asking customer support, they said they had no info about it, be it price, release date or even if they will have it, because they were not informed by samsung. When the new iPhones were announced the stores had them in their catalogues on the same day, pricing, release date and all. Today you can buy the new iPhones, which were announced two weeks after the Note, of which there is still no sight.
From a marketing point of view it just doesn't make sense to me. You spend a lot of money and effort announcing your device, trying to get people excited over it. But because people can not act on their excitement (for a long time) all that energy just dissipates, instead of it going into pre-orders/sales.
