Chicagoland Area Lineup Poll - Nexus S General

Just wanted to find out from you guys who's in the Chicagoland area and who's planning on waiting outside the stores in the morning before they open? A buddy and I are probably going to the Harlem and Irving Plaza around 7am or so. Drop a comment below with which store you were planning on hitting and if not, just vote in the poll.
I don't think any of us will be fighting your average normobs for this phone, which means we only have each other to worry about.
Edit: And yes, I saw the other thread, but there's no poll, and it's not specific to any location. It's just a bunch of people saying "I'll be there." :/

I just showed up at T-Mobile 5 minutes before it opened

Well let me start this out by saying that I have been calling and checking in with every T-Mobile in town for weeks.
Yesterday I stop into the t-mob I was going to be going to this morning to make sure they would have enough stock, how many people were showing up ect. I told them I was buying it out of contract they said okay no problem show up at 10am. I'm there.. wait 40-45 minutes just to be told by the manager that they are holding all phones for people extending contracts.. the guy I spoke to gives her that, what are you serious? look. and she stood her ground..
there were 4 units being sold that morning(by people in the store) and they had 2 extra.. I was told they reserved half for contracts yesterday and the other 3 would be up for grabs.
and I was the last person in the store getting one.. so now those 2 are just going to sit there till other people come in.
I've had my account open since.. 98'? or 99' and I've never had such an awful experience with any T-Mobile.
so if you live in Tucson, try to avoid this T-Mobile at all costs.

Sorry to hear that, it's very deplorable when a long-time customer gets treated like crap.
T-mo reps are usually nice people that try to help you and give you as much infos as they can.
The manager was probably just acting like a douche. Personally I would have left and gone to a different store like immediately!
How many tmo store are there in tucson,az?
When I called various stores in my area, with 2 miles, all had inflated prices ($480) and a couple were only selling if new contract or upgrading. There's about 6 stores in the area.
When I checked in the city, Manhattan, the stores did have the right price but they were all sold out.
Even my local store had a sign for $480 w/o contract, but it did ring up as $450. I assume it's to deter people from buying just the phone.

Yeah, that's a common thing among dishonests sellers, and it's something that really pisses me off since those are prices set by the carrier and are not to be altered to vendor's discretion..

luckily there are several, just drove another 15 minutes down the road and picked one up .
It was just waiting for 45 minutes in the morning (I blew off a class to do so) really bothered me.
and having the "woman" (she looked more like an evil little HD2 hoarding troll) lie to my face? completely unacceptable in my book.
man, that sucks.
at mine it was easy as pie.
No inflated prices, nothing.
They even gave me props for switching from a rooted g1.
I went to the Park Place Mall in Tucson and had no issues getting the HD2 today~ It seemed I may have been one of the firsts to get it from there and that was at about 12:30PM today~
Good to hear. I'll try to stop by after work. Maybe out by the time I get there. It was interesting to hear that this happened in Tucson. Just cause it's so small (comparatively)

Is Engadget for real?

Hey guys,
Out of curiosity, did someone on XDA who works for Sprint really get fired (for posting sales numbers)?
Cheers.
its possible thats private stuff lol..if you work for a wireless carrier and you leak stuff out and it gets traced back to you...its your ass lol
its possible thats private stuff lol..if you work for a wireless carrier and you leak stuff out and it gets traced back to you...its your ass lol.,.rememeber the guy who worked for verizon and dropped the verizon droid x in the gym..he got fired too..
Well, I feel bad for the bloke, stupid as his move was to leak corporate data, because now it'll be hard for him to get a job with any wireless carrier.
He broke his contract and deserves to be fired. I think it's also possible for him to be criminally prosecuted as well (depending on how severe the leak is)
They did what they should have done. If you've got a job, you know any information of this sort is sensitive and should not be shared under any circumstances. Doing so is just begging to get in trouble with your employers.
Engadget is saying he posted the info on XDA. Or am I reading that wrong?
from what I remember I think it was in the thread about a guy that worked for a florida sprint. The thread was called in u live in florida pm me or something like that, but the did post something like that either in his thread or a different one.
Search for this thread "How many evo's will be sold this weekend?" third post now changed
Wait, did it say how many phones were sold? I'm curious to know how many!
if u go to Engadget and click on the source link it takes u to mobile crunch where they were able to get the google cache of the thread and it states that the post said 66483 were sold.
edit: but that number is just what sprint sold not from third party places like radio shack best buy and such. Plus we don't really know what the guy was looking at in the internal sprint numbers it be off
66.5k sold by sprint?? hhhmmm.... seems low
I would really be interested in the real total EVO's sold on the first weekend.

Depends if that is only Sprint numbers. Add to that Walmart, Best Buy and Radio shack and that is a pretty good week.
He can definitely be fired for breaking a contract. However, one can argue that he can sue Sprint for being insincere. After all, they lied and he spoke the truth. Lying to public may result in damages to shareholders and the common good, and judges and jury may consider it important.

Sprint Throttling

Do you think Sprint throttles service? Only for connection card or both?
Sent from your favorite carrier, black and yellow!
No. There are some towers I get 1.3mbs and others leas than 100k. I've tested this all in the same day and within an hour of each other.
I think the issue is telco related and the quality of the t1's at the site.
I wonder when they will start using more fiber to the towers.

"According to Engadget, further investigation into Sprint's alleged throttling has revealed that, in actuality, the discussed feature refers to a specific enterprise setting that will be unveiled in the future. Instead of ramping down the speeds of customers that use too much data, Sprint will instead allow its enterprise customers to limit employee data usage—in theory, allowing a company to turn down one's accessibility to the mobile Internet in cases of extreme use.
While that rumor is dead and bust, it's nevertheless easy to see how many could have erroneously assumed the worst about Sprint's data plan."

Between what's been said about them by reviewers and news articles, no..not at all.
Plus, with their new $10 / month for all, they would be lying to the customer by throttling.
I don't know why you posted this though because, especially lately, very few here are going to be willing to discuss facts.
They're just gonna troll with "omgz spint sux0rs"
I dont care what anyone says they've throttled me more than once. I can always tell exactly when they do it too. It's generally when i've watched a couple of movies on netflix all of a sudden my data speeds bomb for a few hours and then go back to normal. And this was in the middle of the night so I know it wasnt because of a lot of people being on the towers. It's happened to me twice.

I used to think the same thing. I also use the Evo 4G as my Netflix conduit, and in recent months have experienced the same erratic Wimax performance that you and so many of us describe. I find speaking with Tier Two Tech Support at ClearWire a better source for 4G network conditions than Sprint. Moreover, because I am not a ClearWire customer, I may speak candidly. Two days ago, I asked specifically if Sprint/ClearWire throttled any bandwidth-intensive servers, such as Netflix. I explained that I like to put on a Netflix movie around 12:30 AM and that for the past couple of months, available bandwidth would shrink to an unusable level within a few minutes of starting the movie. He explained that Clear customers would experience throttling but as a Sprint customer, I would need to fall into the top 5% of data users AND be attempting a "Torrent-like" download when the tower's capacity was maxed out, to trigger any throttling. Any throttling would be to a customer, not a particular server. He added that Sprint takes their 4G Unlimited Data Plans very seriously.
ClearWire performs routine maintenance/upgrades to their network towers between the hours of 12:00 AM and 6:00 AM. roughly five days in a normal month. However, as we all know, the last few months have not been normal. One may expect diminished performance during these times. Sprint/ClearWire are working hard to fix the 4G network problems that no one at Sprint will admit exist.

Are you trying to suggest that they haven't "addressed the issue" because they haven't held some kind of press conference or something?
They've admitted to the issue and are working on it.
And if you are respectful and ask for it they will refund part of your bill accordingly.

For Christ's sake, you can't be serious!
I've been complaining to Tech support, Tier 1, 2, and supervisors since early October. The standard response has been, "We haven't received any complaints," or "Our 4G event board shows no problems," etc. "Let's trouble shoot your phone and if that doesn't work, "We'll make an appointment for you to take it to a Sprint repair center to be looked at."
Press conference? Really!!! I'd be thrilled if one person in Advanced Tech would acknowledge there's a problem.
As for courteous, I must be the most courteous person in the world. I have had 3 of my last 5 bills credited in full to my account.
To whom have they admitted to the issue? And who specifically admitted to it?
If you ask, why then am I complaining since I have been taken care of? Simply put, I don't like being lied to.

They have acknowledged network issues directly to me, and other forum members, and refunded mine and several other forum members accounts.
Refunds are an obvious admission of an issue.
I would suggest you contact [email protected] if this has been going on for an elongated period of time.
I guarantee things get done that way.

Sprint has around 47 million customers.
That means one in every five adults has Sprint.
If it does clog the network, that means the network is behind and something they need to work on, but there's more than enough users to do so.

[INFO]The Official "I preordered too many tablets and need to get rid of some" Thread
I was lucky enough to be offered a Transformer at cost from ffmax03, due to them having two orders go through instead of one, and felt a thread like this could be of use to others. I figured this will also prevent posts about people having extra tablets available in the [INFO] US Retail Availability thread. While its up to the buyer, I would recommend you only deal with people who have had a few posts prior to this thread being created. Furthermore, you may want to trade seller rating info such as heatware.
While I'm not opposed to anyone trying to make profit on their tabs or anything for that matter, this thread is not for you!
If you get paired with someone from here, tell me with who so I can update!

This is a great idea. thanks OP for the thread.
Also looking for one if somebody has an extra. got screwed out of 3 different orders
I'll be happy to pay shipping costs and throw in a bit extra for the trouble.

if anybody has an extra please PM me...i can paypal ASAP. trying to get a hold of one before i leave on my honeymoon in a few weeks.
Im also looking for someone with an extra Transformer.
Located in Sweden, so I'll of course pay for shipping and will pay a little extra
for the OP...just an idea (not sure if you were planning on doing this or not)
but when you list the names of people who WANT the tablet....i would say next to their name, put where they are located also...im sure people who plan on shipping would want to see if anybody is local, or if other places are easier to ship..etc etc
Just an idea
Looks like I'll have a better chance with this than getting my order from B&H... I'm in NYC if anyone is in the city I'd even be willing to go pick it up in person. Thanks
Oregonian here if anyone ended up with 2. Best buy messed up my order!
Many thanks.
Spare 16gb tablet only Transformer going here, UK. £400 inc p&p via either PayPal or bank transfer. Will send via Royal Mail Special Delivery. Let me know if interested

Thanks!
I'm looking for one in Tampa, FL, I'll have someone there till monday IF anyone is interested in selling their "extra" one I'll drop 50 bucks on top

Plenty of looking here, not much on offers yet, hopefully that'll change. I'll throw my hat in the ring for somebody's extra, just in case. I'm just outside of Knoxville, Tennessee, will only be available for pickup until May 8th (or May 6th if shipped to me from someone).
And I currently have three on backorder with Amazon, Tiger Direct, and B&H respectively, no delivery dates from any of them. If by chance I get more than one before I have to cancel the orders for my trip, I'll be happy to sell at my exact cost to anybody who wants one. I have a couple of folks who already started a queue if that happens, but they may well have gotten theirs already, no idea.

Reliable could mean no downtime, or more consistant download speeds. More coverage etc..
Downtime: is #1 isuse (Data not working at all)
Consistant: I get any were from my sig to 3-4DL and 2UP. So that #2
Coverage: Ok they win, but to me that does not do a lot of good if 1 and 2 are messed up.

Good for you then. I know they had 2-3 nation-wide 4g outages in dec.( I was pissed about 2 of them.) I wish I lived in LA, the PD and internet is better there.( Ok the PD part was more about the movies then caring how good it is in real life, but still.)
What 4G phone do you have?
I got the RAZR thinking it had the best 4G LTE built in. ( The G nexus seemed very bad and I know a guy who works there who informed me before it come out)
Here where I live Verizon is pretty damn fast. But why do you need a data connection that fast?
Battery technology needs to improve to power these new devices that eat data. I'm happy with my 14megs on TMobile.
Plus Verizon is over priced. Funny I say that because I just got a part time gig at a Verizon store.

AT&T Has the 99.9% there, but just about never gets 10. I had no idea t-mobile had good speed like that.
I went in to a verizon store today to see if they could put a new sim in and not only did it take forever, but the guy was being rude and stupid when I asked for help with my data droping.

How many months do you have left on your contract? If you're not happy with their speeds or customer service, why don't you leave? At the worst case, can't you call retentions, tell them whats up and see if they can add extra stuff to your plan? I would figure dropping them would be more cost effective then suing but I don't know if its just American culture to sue whoever for whatever but thats just my opinion.
I have in till 2013 and It would cost me about 350 for ETF. There is no stuff that would make up for there fail. I have never sued before and I know your kind don't like to do that, but I think if your not geting what they put on TV then thats BS.
Every one here loves them to no end and they get a way with what ever. Not any more if I have anything to say about it.
"my kind" just doesn't see the point in suing a billion dollar company over something like this. Mind you doesn't mean I'm right, but I would just move my business elsewhere. Rogers in Canada was raping me so I said fudge it, paid the $300, went to Telus and would recommend them to anyone purely based on customer service. I just don't see much happening if you sue them by yourself, if you had bunch of other people in the suit with you sure, I'm sure your chances would increase. But its not like they are gonna radically change the way they do business over your lawsuit...but I guess it starts with one case at a time...in the end I would just say eff you Verizon and I would peace out and move to another company.
1) I know you must think all of the U.S.A sue every one like the lady sueing the fast food place, but it's not true.
2) I don't want my C rating messed up just because some company can't live up to the ADs they bast on TVS I HAVE TO SEE EVERY TIME I GO OUT ANY WERE WITH TVS.(eating out and so on.)
3) I like Canada and wish we had heath care like yours.
4) I likely will just say "fudge it", because I can pay it till the end any way.
don't get me wrong, I don't think every American sues someone, but there is an over saturation of frivolous lawsuits within the states. Anyways, its really up to you if you want to sue or not, I don't blame you either way and I hope everything works out for you. Power is with the customer, not the carrier so if you're not happy with the service, eff them.
I have an Infuse 4G on ATT. 4G has always been stable and fast for me. I've gotten up to 15mbps download speeds off it.
I live in SoCal if that helps judge the signal/service over here.
I know it is and thats why I say the big red is full of it. Last night I droped data 3 times and fell back to 3g two times. There phone CS is nice, but not so smart. I tryed to tell them what USB is and they keeped on talking about WIFI. Any way I will be geting a new phone by the end of the year.
To all on AT&T: The grass is NOT GREENER ON VERIZON, THE DATA DROPER.

First of all, you expect 99.9% uptime from a cellular network? That's absurd, especially when carriers oversell in more densely populated/metropolitan areas. You'll never get 99.9% uptime from anything other than a leased landline, and you'll pay a premium for it. AT&T doesn't have that kind of reliability--no carrier does. It seems like you just like to complain for the fun of it, but let me assure you you'll end up farther in the red suing Verizon than you would just taking the ETF and moving to another provider.
oh yea, I have NEVER droped data with AT&T so thats 100% up time. Now I am not saying that it should never fail, but I bet if you out places and droped data 50% of the time even with 3-5bars/5 then you would be mad. It drops data in my home with 3-4bars and about -85dbm. Now perhaps I should have not used 99.9% as uptime, but I kind of think that it shuold not be so hit and miss.
I don't "complain" for fun, becuase I know every thing has it's bug's, fails and so on. I have about 4-7 vid's now showing the some thing. It verys alot and I only film about 1/2 to 1/3 of all the data drops.
I bet you work for them trying to go back on there ads. They are the most aragunt CO I have ever seen and that says alot, becuase apple used to be #1 to me. AT&T is in my top 5, but your CO read verizon is #1. I meen they don't seem to care at all if any one left, becuase 10 more will come in, becuase of all the brain-washing TV ads they run. They are just like apple, but are even more full of it. Oh yea about me being in the red, I should win this case easy in a few weeks when I have made more videos showing how full of it they are. I should have about 20-30 videos or more by them at the rate they drop data. I won't even need a rep, becuase I will do that my self. Plus after the AT&T won his case it should be next to a shoe in.
I will not have a dent on my CR becuase some CO can't give what they basely yell and screem on TV ads and thier stores.
P.S In case you don't work for them, well then I guess you did not get it or just don't like geting what you pay for.
Edit: Well I guess I won pottedplant73. and 99.9% up time= down for about 15min a day every day of every week of every mouth of every year, so I don't think think it's "absurd".

Yeah, you got me--just because I'm pointing out problems with your argument means I work for Verizon. It's all a massive conspiracy against you, obviously. Personally, I'd never bother with Verizon. They're currently the most expensive carrier in the U.S. and that's saying something. People pay absurd prices for tiny amounts of 3G/4G data just because the convenience factor has outweighed the economics of it. When it comes down to it, all the wireless carriers we have suck in one aspect or another. They all gouge, they all engage in deceptive business tactics, they all lie, and they all give you less than you had before, and expect more money. This is what made me decide to go month to month on the cheapest plan I can stand.
I encourage you to sue, though. Or better yet, get a class action lawsuit going. I'd love to see Verizon eat some crow.
