In just about two days the WP7 is coming out. Who all is planning on getting one Monday?
Maybe just to get some free Katy Perry tickets (im currently in nyc but dont live here).
Anyways it would be nice to get it ASAP since my current wm 6.5 is falling apart. The FB app stop working and now the AP too.
Also everyday it gets more slugish and bugy etc. I'm tired of it.
I think the Focus will have a very nice display, but not sure about the plastic exterior. I'll be getting a Venue Pro, but that's also because I'm with T-Mobile. So my only choices are HD7 and VP. HTC has been cutting too many corners this time, so they will not be getting my money until higher quality phones start getting produced by them again.

i'm on t mobile too but since i'm 90% of the time have wifi so i'm probably going to wait and get the focus if it can be unlocked or the venue pro
Getting the phone yet bummed my 32GB Mico SD has been delayed shipping from an Amazon supplier. Wanted to load the phone right off the bat with maximum memory too.
EDITED: Decied to cancel the Class 2 32GB and get the Class 6 16GB
Ill have one Monday or possibly Sunday since that's when the AT&T stores actually get the phones. The guy at the store said he would call me Sunday when the phones arrive but I have my doubts.
I'm leaving sprint and HTC evo to try one out.

Strange they would get them on Sunday. Didn't know there were companies that did deliveries on Sunday. I went to the local Best Buy mobile yesterday and they already had the Surround. He hadn't even heard of the Focus.

I'll chime in on that - I plan on being there first thing Monday, but I will call tomorrow to see if they'll sell early. I've been calling since Thursday since that's when the Captivate was being sold early, but they've been pretty adamant about not selling these early. When I did call, they mentioned I could pick it up on Sunday, but when I went into the store today, both the regional manager and store manager said I'd have to wait. I'll just call tomorrow and see who's working

I called one of the stores today and they had the Focus but wouldn't sell. Dropped by Best Buy and they showed me the Surrounds, but they didn't even know when they would get the Focus. Sucks because I think I could have one if they had them. I'll try to get one from a retail AT&T tomorrow. If not, I'm going to be late for work Monday
Does anyone know what GPS chip is getting put in this phone. If it is the same one that they put in their Galaxy S phones I'm going to have to pass. I have a Captivate and the GPS is worthless.

I've seen a lot of people concerned about that as well. All the reviews I've seen said it's much better than the Galaxy phones. So I assume its a different chipset or better drivers.

I believe it's different also since this hardware is completely different that the SGS phones. Also, Bill Gates is using it, so I'd assume it'd work or he'd be on a different phone
Just got mine...
Just home from the AT&T store.
Got a $100 "loyalty" discount, a 20% percent discount on the 32 gig memory card, (final price of $110) and 2 usb cords. Total cost out the door is $248.
The salespeople in the store knew nothing about the phone. They were asking me questions about it.
I was the first person to ask for one today.
kbanes
^^ So, they didn't wait for the 8th? How long have you been with AT&T? Let us know how you find it.
I think ill wait for the Quantum. My XDA At&t brothers look at us all gather around anticipating these devices lol.

I'm guessing he got lucky - I called 3 stores today, and none would give it out today. This includes the primary AT&T store in Houston.

Yep, I was even given a time tomorrow that they'll be allowed to give them out - 3 p.m. Not sure if I buy that, but he did say I was the only person who even asked
They didn't act like it was any big deal. I asked for one, and he just went into the back of the store and got it.
I had gone in last Wednesday to ask if they had the approved microsd card, and they said that they didn't have anything in the store yet, but that I could come in on Sunday and pick up the phone.
I'm having trouble with Zune. I can't get Zune to see the phone when I plug it into the computer. I don't know if it is because I already have a Zune 80 assigned to the computer or not.
Other than that, it is pretty snazzy.
I've been with AT&T for several years. 10 maybe? They weren't AT&T at the time...
Hey Kbanes,
What type of micro SDHC card did ATT sell you?
I've been keeping track of fake 32gb micro sdhc from china. Months ago, they came as no name cards. Then a couple months ago they started arriving with brand names like kingston and sandisk.
These are actually 4 or 8 gb cards that they had modified to be read as 32gb.
If you do a search on amazon, you will find many of these cheap cards being sold as sandisk, kingston, etc. And guess what, dumbasses have been putting lots of 5 star reviews because all they did was put the card in their phone and the phone read it as 32 gb. These dumbasses never even bothered to test out their cards first before doing a review.
The easiest way to test out if you got a genuine 32 gb card or not is try to fill it all the way up with large media files and then try to play the files from the card.
As you can tell, I am very disturbed by the fake products that China is producing and flooding our damn economy with.
I guess this is the 21st century version of "me chinese, me play joke, me put pee pee in your coke".
I only buy from Amazon, none of the third party vendors. Not 100% safe, but easier to deal with for returns. I suppose always using a credit card with a good "buyer protection" policy would help too.
What really pisses me even more is the fact that the chinese government almost never do anything to stop these activities until the international community at large say something. Look at the plastic rice fiasco, for example. The damn chinese gov didn't do poop until the taiwanese news reported on the finding. Plastic eggs, foods made from cardboards, etc. Fake apple stores.
Please understand I'm not dissing everything that is made in china. I am dissing the chinese gov for not stopping these downright immoral practices.

And?
I'm not saying all 32gb cards out there are fake. But because the online market is currently being flooded with these fake cards, people need to test out their cards first before they do a review. My complaint in the OP is that if you go through and read people's reviews, they gave 5 stars simply because they put it in their phone and the phone says 32 gb. If you then look at the 1 star reviews, there are a bunch of people reporting they couldn't put more than 4gig or so of data. And the transfer rate is extremely slow.
The point is test out your cards first before you do a review.
I've never bought anything bad from Amazon or any of their vendors. Also, Prime is the best!

Not to point out the obvious, but there is a reason goods are cheaper from China.
No offense meant, but you want cheap goods with industrialized quality control.
When China reaches the level of regulation of the industrialized nations with their products, they will no longer be cheap.
The solution is pretty simple, quit buying from a country known for their low quality, if quality is truly a concern.

I think you mean, people who try and save a couple bucks buying from China should test them to make sure they aren't getting ripped off.
Alot of the reviews are pulled together from just being a micro sd, Hopefully anyone on the fence will checkout newegg I'm not advertising but like you reading those amazon reviews it felt like a gamble hitting that buy button.

I've reported to amazon several instances where sellers were trying to sell fake products with no brand name. Amazon actually took those down, so kudos to them. That was months ago. Nowadays, they have gotten smarter and actually put reputable brand names on their microsd cards.

Yea, the most anyone can do is test their cards and report the seller if they're bad. Unfortunately, as an earlier poster mentioned, China won't do anything to them unless a major corporation(Apple) or a government threatens them. Not to mention they rack in god knows how much, fifty thousand or so maybe, in sales, shut down and make a new business. I live in Mexico for the time being and it's interesting how easy it is to drop off the governments radar here, I imagine China is worse.
A few months ago I bought a 32Gb SDHC card from this Finnish eBay-like site. The seller had good reputation and the cards weren't noname-brand ones so I had no reason to suspect anything. But when I received the package something on the package seemed off, it wasn't how the real manufacturer packages their cards. I obviously checked the card out and turns out it was actually a 1Gb one, the firmware on it had just been modified to report 32Gb instead and to silently drop all data written past 1Gb, just reporting success to the OS.
I got my money back as the rules on the site state, and when as it turns out, the seller didn't either know that these cards were fakes. He had bought them from some Chinese entity and had apparently been lied to. The sad thing is that he had sold already a few hundred of them and now had to get back in touch with all those customers, re-pay them, and well, who knows how many customers actually lost their data because of these fakes?
Humans are greedy and willing to screw over anyone just to gain something themselves :/
Could this be happening to those lost files
This is just a thought. Several threads in both this "General" and the "Themes" forums have over the past weeks been complaining about losing files from their sd cards. Various explanations have been put forward and some no doubt have been valid but is it not possible that people are unknowingly buying these chinese fake sd cards and like poster "WereCatf" were having data apparently written to the card but this in fact was not happening after say 1Gb, but were silently dropping files and data but falsely reporting "good" transfers to the card?
I appreciate this doesn't solve the problem but it may give some understanding to those who are losing files?
best practices.
"If it looks like it's too good to be true, then usually it is" That's how I go about my purchases online. I can understand finding a good deal. I always find them, but if it is an unheard of deal, then BUYER BEWARE. The reason it would be an unheard of deal because it likely still will be after you discover you have been scammed. Common sense is what you really need to use when purchasing online.
I feel so damn stupid. I'll be honest, that never crossed my mind. I'll be a heck of a lot more wary now. Thank you for putting this post up.
Heya guys,
Have a check here, i know this isnt for micro sd cards, but im sure it still applies...
http://reviews.ebay.co.uk/FAKE-SanDisk-Ultra-Secure-Digital-Cards-Exposed_W0QQugidZ10000000001254881
It has some really good info.
My Sandisk 32 gig that I got at a great price is a fake.
The paint on it rubbed off with my finger.
It does not work.
I put in a complaint and won the complaint but got no refund.
Search seems to be messed up for me, I imagine this is being discussed elsewhere, but as the title states do we have any idea on the time frame for the 32gb model release on ATT? I spoke via chat on the att website to a rep who confirmed they will receive the 32gb model, but she did not know when. Samsung service reps responded to me on facebook saying they were not sure at this time when the 32 would release.
Does this sound like a carrier issue or supplier? The one article I have been able to find is mostly about US cellular but mentions that's there may be a supply chain issue for the 32gb production.
As I'm sure others would agree, ill be quite annoyed to pick up a 16gb this weekend and then have the 32 drop in a few weeks. Just no way to know at yhis point. Same goes for the rumored S4 active and whether it is real and what specs it will have.

Samsung decided to focus on a global launch of the 16gb version first, for production and inventory expediency of the Qualcomm version. Seems the carriers have no word on 32gb availability, but based on the growing complaints of the 8 to 9 gb of storage and Samsung's gosh awful response to the customer concern- Seems a decent chance carriers will be more apt to offer them.
My guess is June. We have to let Samsung get back to reality and a big light bulb go over both Samsung and the carrier's sales people that a sd card is not fixing the app storage issue.
I searched and couldn't find anything, but usually when a phone takes awhile to come out on Sprint compared to other carriers it is because they have asked for changes or modifications to the hardware. This has happened with HTC in the past and I hope carriers over to LG also.
I specifically am curious about a Micro SD slot and whether Sprint will require it on their version. The lack of SD slot and smaller screen are really making me move toward the Note 3 instead.... But i hate physical buttons and really like the look and feel of the G2.
Anyone hear anything specifically?
Thanks in advance.

Shoot, I didn't think of that. I'm this close to ending my Sprint contract (with 3 weeks left) and going to Tmo for this phone.
Sprint's preorder page doesn't list anything as an exclusive. Hell, they don't even have details on the storage. I'm inclined to think it will be similar to the AT&T and Tmo versions, then. I would think if they had SD storage, removable battery, or something different from the other carriers, it would be on the preorder page. Verizon did this with the wireless charging feature exclusive to them. An extra 32-64 GB of storage over the competition sure is something worth bragging about, especially with this beast.
If they threw in an SD slot, I'd be tempted to stick with Sprint and deal with the dead zones and slow speeds. But I don't think Sprint is in for anything special.

I have yet to see anyone actually handle a Sprint variant... Which makes me really question how much of the same it will be.
I mean... Verizon had them change the buttons and yet we have seen that device, and with Sprint and Verizon both being CDMA they usually share many device details. We should've seen something already.
And I'm not really giving any credit to the sprint product page since that has been wrong and incomplete many times before.
Sprint service sucks , but they are GREAT with device support. They have repeatedly requested features in their phones that other carriers have ignored. All with open bootloaders and fast updates.

I would love for Sprint to be bringing in the Korean version too with the SD slot and removable battery, but believe I recall Sprint announcing the G2 on their site as having a 3000mh battery. With that size battery, I believe that only the locked up version with no removable battery or SD slot (Int'l version) has that sized battery. I would bet they are going with the same Int'l version that the other carriers are using but also "Hope" for the alternative.

One guy on Reddit is claiming that Motorola will no longer RMA 64GB white devices and will only issue refunds instead of warrantying them.
What are you talking about? I ordered a Cloud White 64gb Nexus 6 from Motorola's site last week and received it yesterday. How would Motorola not warrant them if they sold them literally days ago.

No future inventory. Remember the sales are presales and not actual inventory.
I'm just repeating what someone posted on Reddit. That was the answer they got when they contacted Moto CS to get an RMA.

Most CSR's are way off, I wouldn't believe it unless they release a statement of some sort.
Its simply out of stock Two weeks ago, there was no MB, CW, 32 or 64GB choice on motorola.com at all. They were all taken off because of inventory issues. give it a week or two and they will all show up again

Hopefully so. Given how badly fumbled left and right, like FSU tonight, the launch has been...nothing is too hard to believe.

Let's nor forget that US Cellular(CW & MB) and T-Mobile (MB) sell the 64gb versions as well. I doubt moto would stop production of it. They also released a 64gb moto X a day ago so they understand the demand for 64gb models. Maybe moto just won't sell the 64gb and will let google and the carriers sell it or maybe they are TOS.
I was going to post about this.. I have a defective 64gb MB right now and when i called today the "rep" said he does not know when they will have stock again.. So i'm not sure, but i do know i'm sending this POS back for a full refund. Motorola support is a joke, they are very uninformed and are merely reading from a script. I also noticed there was no option for the 64gb but it was listed in the specs section further down the page so i'm not sure. They seriously failed with this launch.
So I was just able to snag another 64gb so hopefully this one is good. If not I'm going back to my starTAC and saying screw the nexus 6.

It's strange that they changed from a few days ago. It would be nice if they hard-coded the menus to show that only the 32GB Blue is available currently (without having to add it to see).
Hopefully, all the choices will show up again soon.
