Just in case you really need to know. June 19th is when tmo anounces the slide through commercials and they r having a father's day special event they r going to announce too. Not as big a deal as everyone thinks.
So why are they opening 2 hours early,and where the heck is my froyo,tmo rep told mewe'de have it on launch,I need apps2sd,my phone is outta storage,i'm going to curse someone at tmobile out.htc and google should have never let tmobile have any say in this device cause they oveloaded it with bull**** you cant delete,im so friggin angry,I just want control over my phone and nobody can even root it,AGGGHHHHH!!! Sorry just had to get that out.
I think you've let it out in everyone of your post in the Slide section.. I'm sure your 14 day return period isn't up. RETURN IT.
A friend of mine who works for TMO told me that they are rolling out a new store design. They've had several of the concept stores open in certain test markets for almost 3 years. I worked for them when they were planning these interactive and user friendly stores with video tech support on site.
While I think it's cool and all, I'm more interested in them improving network service and offering phones that aren't outdated the moment you slip your SIM in.

all i have to say that is if a Tmo rep told you froyo would be ready when the phone comes out, promptly insert your foot in his a** with EXTREME prejudice!!
Dispite contrary belief, not all T-Mo reps know every single thing that T-mobile is up to. Some of us actualy have a life outside of work. Also, we are not all out to give everyone the shaft. Some of us realy try to help people the best we can. I get chewed out quiet often for going "too far".

^^^^ this +10
As donepate stated, you are speaking to another human, NOT T-mobile as an object. If that rep heard a rumor online he could have easily passed it along to you. Thats why unless there is OFFICIAL news from T-mobile you should always take information about upcoming releases of updates/phones with a grain of salt. Typically T-mobile employees know about the official launches barely before they launch to avoid any leaked information and or upsets if deadlines aren't met.
If you've read the official HTC comments however you will know that its stated to have FROYO within a number of 2010 Android phones within the year of 2010. That is as specific as it gets however.

never listen to t-mobile reps they no nothing
Official release date for the slide is the 16th. They have not even told the reps much. It could be lower prices for a day, a giveaway in the stores, or the planets may be comming into alignment. Its all guesses for now. I am fairley sure that its slide related in some way though. Just have no idea what it is. If I get any info i'll pass it along.

it is a big deal and it has nothing to do with the slide per se on june 19th we are having free phone day which means you can choose any phone in the store including smart phones for free with new contract or line extension.

I'm glad at least you "no" how to spell.
I believe the buyers remorse period will still be 14 days. That's what I am getting.
I keep reading "Official" release date is the 19th, but I simply walked up to my local store and bought it last week... are you using the term "officially" as a moment to define when they'll "advertise" it...?
They have a soft launch (June 2nd) and a hard launch which, shown to me on the computer from a t-mobile rep, is the 16th not 19th
According to TmoNews.com it's going to be a Father's Day sale with all phones free
They are going to announce the Galaxy S on the 19th. The Galaxy S will go on sale sometime in July ... just got that from a VERY reliable Tmobile source. I'm probably going to be sending the slide back ... my G1 will tide me over till the Galaxy comes around.

According to a handful of websites the Droid X "has been arriving at customer's doorsteps" early
my question is HOW??? There is nowhere to pre-order the Droid X online or on the phone, so how the hell are "customers" receiving them early??
Best Buy you have to physically be in the store to pick up the pre-order as they do not take your address or anything when you pre-order, wtf are they babbling about??

EDIT- Apparently if you had ordered an Incredible and were told it was backlogged and switched to X, then u get urs early
Dude, you can order them from Verizon stores and have them shipped to you. I also think there was a way to pre order online or by phone.
I am with the first dude. I was really under the impression that Verizon did NOT except any pre-orders, just BB. I have read so many articles and have been in the Verizon store many times. The closest Verizon came to taking pre-orders that I know of is making in store appointments for the 15th or allowing people the already order the incredable to switch.
Actually the early Droid X arriving was a mistake on Verizon customer service system part , has nothing to do with the Droid Incredible, they accidentally shipped out 170 units to customer but they couldn't even activate them until a few days ago where Verizon figured out how to early activate these early bird device b4 the July 15th launch date.

Ok sorry, i am still not getting it or making my point. Why did verizon ship out any phones to customers if verizon did not take pre-orders? I can see them maybe shipping some out early to stores in error. Pre-orders still had to take place for Verizon to have the addresses to send these phones in error. And all web info indicates that Verizon did not allow or take pre-orders.

EXACTLY!!
Why are cutomers getting phones when there was no possible way to "pre-order" staright from verizon????
I went into a corporate store and tried to order and they told me to come back the 15th first come first serve!!
For whatever reason, the 170 people who got their phones first were by a rep that somehow got the order in, or by people who had been waiting for incredibles but changed to the droid.
Or they are just trying to build the buzz for the official launch. Be interesting to see if these early releases are spread out across the country and most of them close to major markets.

My thoughts exactly...
Went in today and played with it... must say it feels very good in-hand. Buttons were NOT wonky. Screen was gorgeous, and was very thin and light. Did not feel cheap in any way!!!!!! : )
... so excited for thursday!
man, i also cant wait for tomorrow. I luckaly have the day off but i have my 9mo old son with me so i really cant go too early and stand in line for hours. I am really nervous that people will be "camping out" way early and that i will not get my hands on one. I guess i have to mentally prepare to be dissapointed.
I am also wondering if the hype is blown up and if there will really be lines for hours. I guess time will tell. i hope everyone here that wants one and thats is as excited as i am gets one.
According to this you won't have to worry, plenty of supply

I order my unactivated AT&T 8GB model and its been delayed twice already, and no one at dell is helpful, they just try to get me off the phone and don't have any actual reason besides saying its delayed, and then in one spot it says "in production" and in another spot it says "in pre production" I ordered it on 8/28 with next day delivery?! and now its saying shipping date for the phone is 9/21 when you try to make a new order, so I'm wondering how I could even have mine before that even though it says delivery date: 9/13 (updated) from the 9/4 it was originally.
I also kept asking them if maybe the delay was from a mango software update but the non English speaking reps didn't even know what that was and had no idea. Do we have any solid evidence that maybe this is the case and this is why its taking so long?
Welcome to perils of purchasing a DVP. Guess Dell hasn't improved much since its launch.

Indeed. Same thing when I bought my DVP too - delayed twice with no explanation. Although everyone was quite polite, trying to get progress information out of Dell was like trying to get blood out of a stone
Took over a month to arrive...
Part of the problem is that no one wants to help, they swear it will be shipped on a certain date and it isnt, and I have not spoke with one AMERAICAN person on the phone and its annoying, I tell them to speak clearly but they do not, seriously dell has the worst tech support or phone reps ever. Half of them only know how to do 1 thing and 1 thing only, I bet half of them at "Dell Mobility" support havent even seen the phone and dont even know what OS it runs unless its somehow in the order.
I got mine next day I was actually surprised.
That's weird. I ordered mine on Sunday, and it's being delivered tomorrow. Mine is T-Mobile, though. I dunno if that matters.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
it does say tmobile verisons are shipping sooner but I dont see why any version should be delayed this long. I feel naked with only 1 phone right now :/
It is my understanding that phones may see delayed ship dates due to Mango being installed on them. I believe that Dell may be one of the first to supply Mango to existing hardware.
thats what I heard and thought but everytime I ask a dell rep either via an online chat or over the phone they have no idea what that means
I have 5 ATT ones that keep getting pushed back. They were ordered one at a time over a month.. but it looks like they are all coming on the 29th now.. hopefully.
Got a few t-mobile ones in that timeframe and they came in pretty fast.
oddly all the ATT phones showed up today. So much for dell holding them to put Mango on
hmmm... well mine still hasn't shipped, even a rep on twitter said she was gonna try to expedite it, but no change in order status, one place it says in production and the other says in pre production. But also the weird thing is, one their website all they have are unlocked versions now with att or tmobile bands. The Tmobile specific or ATT specific versions no longer exsist so I wonder whats gonna happen to mine that was att specific just unactivated full retail.
It's my understanding that the reason for the delay is due to DVP being shipped with Mango installed and since MS hasn't officially released Mango update yet, they are waiting so that it would coincide with the release date. Then again, it may all be just speculations.
Ya well no one seems to know 100% and now my order has yet again been delayed to the 16th, this is the 4th delay. Dell support is garbage I want everyone to know and avoid them don't give them any more business!
I ordered a replacement under warranty on the 2nd and they told they were backordred to the 16th and to call back then to have it actually shipped out. I'm thinking they are basically holding everything back for Mango, at least on the AT&T side.
That makes sense. Means you'll get the Mango firmware without having to wait for AT&T's notoriously-slow 'testing' process.
Wondering if Dell are not explaining the delays because they have a non-disclosure agreement with Microsoft about the Mango release date. Otherwise, you would think they would publicly announce that phones were being held back to a specific date for Mango.
well more and more things keep saying that mango will be this week but I'm so frustrated that my phones been delayed for pretty much weeks now, I don't want to keep waiting, I know its a good update but I can do it myself.
I'm not sure how relevant my experience is to this topic, but I did place an order today for a subsidized DVP through Dell moblity's phone line. I got a English as his first language rep who seemed pretty knowledgeable. First I wanted to know if the DVP was still being subsidized through AT&T since it was no longer showing online, he confirmed that it was still $0.99 with contract for AT&T and T-mobile. I then asked if there would be any delay on the shipping (siting that I read some folks online were having an issue). He explained that there was a firmware update(not mango) that both carriers needed to approve and AT&T took longer to approve it than t-mobile.
Needless to say, my order has been placed as of 1PM eastern 9/12 and the estimated arrival time is 9/15, hopefully just in time for Mango *fingerscrossed*.
I just tried to place an order for an 8 GB model and the rep advised me due to backorders, it wouldn't ship for approx. 10 days. I chose to back out since I have an order for a 32 GB that keeps getting delayed (but I'd rather wait for) that is currently slated to ship around the same time as this one would have been delayed.
I went into my local att store today to play with the display note 3 that just got set up today. When I was chatting with the the sales man about the note 3 he informed me that att would not start selling the note until Friday, October 4th, rather than the 1st as their website would suggest and that rumor reports would have us believe. Obviously, I was a little annoyed and thought he may be simply misinformed, until I called another att store about 5 miles away who stated the same thing. So just as a heads up to any att users out there waiting to pick up a note 3, att will put it on sale Friday 10/4/2013. As for the other issue of being a little dissapointed with the note 3, that's a whole other story for another thread.
I found the same when visiting a local AT&T store as well.
One more week of waiting, while using the Galaxy Nexus as my backup phone....painfully...
Actually, what I'm disappointed for the moment is the lack of accessory options, especially good covers.
I can't wait to have the option of getting a leather wallet case for this new device!

Today I went in hoping to check out the Note 3 before it came out however I was bummed out when the guy said, "Yeah those dont come out until the 4th." To which I replied, "Well do you have one on display so that I dont have to spend a lot of time checking the phone out before purchasing it on the 4th, seeing as it may be a little crowded?". He then said, "Nope we wont have any of them in stock until the 4th when the phone is released." I think I will wait until the Note 3 and One Max come out, compare in store, and then make my purchase online so they wont get any commision.
what I don't get is what carriers gain by not giving out the correct release dates? Especially to people who are coming in to actually buy the phone.. . I mean what business practice or marketing benefit Could this possibly be ? In my eyes it only serves to annoy People who are coming in to sign contracts or in my case drop nearly 800 dollars on a phone, yet they screw us around. I just dont get this kind of business. Anyway, while the maybe old news apparently to Zach I wasn't aware of ATT not releasing the Note 3 on the 1st as their website and media outlets have suggested ... I simply wanted to pass on the info to others in my position waiting around For Note 3, although it did give me the chance to play with it and realize how similar my Note 2 was and 2nd guess my decision or if I do get Note 3, 2nd guess ordering it offline vs. giving att my money.

I went to look at the Galaxy Note 3 last night, love the screen, the weight, and the fact it is a little slimmer. Anyways, the reps told me last night it was being sold on the 1st!
If I had a guess, they will ship pre-orders out on the 1st for people that ordered online, but maybe they wont sell in store until the 4th? I feel like something similar happened with the Note 2 if I remember right, but I'm not sure.

The video was posted on September 27, so it seems like it was actually being unboxed by an AT&T employee or a reviewer. I've read somewhere on this forum that the AT&T employees did not get the headphone and the other goodies that would normally be shipped to consumers of these phones. Nothing confirmed, but the AT&T website might be the best source.

I was getting nervous reading the negative posts on here, but I was very impressed. Definitely upgrading from the Note 2.

The 13th is a Saturday not Thursday. Chat reps are extremely unreliable sources. Seems unlikely they'd launch a device on a Saturday anyway.

That's what I said too, initially.
Skeptical, I asked her why this is. She said the phone is in such high demand that they haven't been able to get stock ready to release it both in-store and online (which is another reason she said they may or may not do pre-orders.) FWIW, I would take it with a grain of salt, but this is a lot better than the response I got last week with them saying it isn't in their system so they do not know/have any idea.
VZW has done it in the past, but just confirming what was said by the redditor.
EDIT: for that reason, I will be watching Wednesday night and Friday morning of next week.
I'm still sporting a December 15th, 2011, Galaxy Nexus from a local corporate store, no repairs or replacements, and it was unlocked and rooted on day one. It's got a few problems, but still works everyday. I'm just wondering what VZW is up to with the Nexus 6 at this point. Is this just another "additional testing" delay, a supply and demand delay, a device QC delay, or all of the above? Or maybe something worse like additional "lock down" software changes? Yes, I know there's only one US model, and yes I know about the carrier software install at setup and how to avoid it (I've read just about everything I can find), but I just don't trust VZW at this point. This GNex still works because of the work done by ME, not because of VZW support of a hobbled Nexus device.
At this point all we can do is speculate until the Nexus 6 finally shows up at Verizon. Could be all of those things you mentioned. Could be they wanted to give the Droid Turbo less competition, or it could be none of those things. Time will tell.
Just crossing my fingers that they'll have the 64GB version available.
Our moto rep just said not to expect them until quarter 1, maybe February. I'm hoping he's wrong...
As stated anything is pure speculation, but if that was the case VZW would have a weird timeline with phones in their history. Historically, they have always gotten devices close to last. I think they were one of the last carriers to have the iPhone, but I don't think that dealt with stock/holding off because they wanted to push their other phones. There was an article about the iPhone and how most carriers lose money with the subsidized price on the actual device, but make more than enough back by the contract. All phone companies are about signing contracts, as that is where they make the most of their money. If you cancel your phone, there are not too many external costs associated with that, but they want to ensure that they get their moneys worth for losing that device/the profit from your remainder of your contract. Holding off on devices actually just hurts them in the long-run, as more devices = more appeal to more demographics = more contract sign-ups, but I think it deals more with contractual agreements, like securing the phone, branding the phone, etc most of the time, but I feel like this might just deal with the low stock. This thing is practically sold out everywhere and hard to find.
Just visited the local verizon store and they said Nexus 6 will be available in the next week or so.

This GNex still works because of the work done by ME, not because of VZW support of a hobbled Nexus device.

I'm rocking my GNex as well, no issues, on shiny KK, and awaiting a new FML build to jump to 5.0 or 5.0.1 as the case may be.
The fun part is waiting, and reading, because even IF I left it encrypted - I'm coming from a GNex, I don't think I'be able to tell that it may be lagging a bit
(But I'm unlocking, rooting and reflashing that bugger for no encryption anyways .... depending on how VZ does or doesn't screw us again)
We just trimmed my wife's GN sim for her new N6. She wasn't happy with her GN, too many issues (poor reception, etc), and way overdue for an upgrade.
