Can't say I'm too surprised, but can a company be more ambiguous about a release?
Many sources are claiming that it will release on Sunday 9/18. I've called 3 different local att stores and my answers ranged from never heard of it to we are restaging our store on Sunday 9/18 for some new phones but the SGS II is not part of it
Commercials on TV are everywhere, Sprint customers already have their hands on it and we(ATT customers) are left with "coming soon" without even a concrete release date.
The phone is already on the verge of being late to the party(been out since May globally) so come on AT&T, and give us some information that is worth something!
Botched? AT&T will release whenever and still sell a ton. Only people like you and me really care when the release date is.
I just called att sales and and they gave me the same old story about keep checking online. I pushed the issue about wanting to talk to a supervisor since I have heard that the stores are stocking them as we speak. He came back on and said he talked to his store manager (confused here as when you call sales they connect you to a store?) and then said his manager confirmed that they are stocking them in the stores but STILL could not give a release date. He said that could mean a few days or a week/s until they receive the release date. I said sprint came out with it today. I also asked about pre-order and he said they are not taking pre-orders. I am JUST AS frustrated as you on this whole fing matter. Just give us a REAL TRUE RELEASE DATE. I am GLAD that I never run att software and don't rely on them for it to be released ever. Well I guess we will see on Sunday. I will probably stop by a local att store today also and push them for info. I will be back once I am able to during my lunch break.

(1) It's AT&T
(2) It's not an Apple product.
Regardless how much potential GS2 can be, AT&T simply won't give a s**t because it will never sell as many as iPhone 5 can be.
Best friend works for AT&T and they haven't got them in stock yet. They haven't heard a release date yet either. I can say that seeing sprint release it has me EXTREMELY anxious for this damned thing on AT&T. He knows how much I want this phone and is going to let me know as soon as they get it in stock.
Okay I am calling MANY ATT stores local to me (at least I have about 18 local stores that I am in the process of calling now. I will continue to update this post whenever I get a chance. I am listing the phone number, whether they say if/when the release date is, whether they say the do/don't have it IN STORE NOW. So far this is the first couple I have called:
EDIT: I called alot of the local att stores and listed them all below. Kind of bummed that none other than 1 said with good confirmation that they hadn't heard of a release yet. Some that say possibly Saturday said that that USUALLY before a phone is released they will get inventory the day before. I had let them know that I had spoken to 611 earlier which told me stores were starting to get stock today for either this Sunday 18th or next Sunday (which was TRUE from my conversation with 611). So I guess ONLY Sunday we will NO FOR SURE one way or another...I had also mentioned what the 1 store told me that they had them. Sorry but I am so excited and upset with the not hearing anything from att.

Same thing happened with the release of the Captivate, T-Mobile got it first on a Thursday and rumors were that AT&T were releasing it that Sunday, no official announcement just a rumor. Went to AT&T that Saturday to ask about it and they said they only had cases for it but wouldn't expect it for another week, went across the street to Best Buy and they had it in stock!!!! Bought it and went back to AT&T with the Captivate in hand and asked to buy the case LOL.
Hopefully I'll have such luck tomorrow, if not then I'll be patient and get it Sunday, but if it's not out then Sprint may have my service!
Its botched because they are a couple of days behind sprint?
The international version has been available for months if you have deep enough pockets.
If you can only afford a subsidized phone, keep waiting.
This is the captivate forum btw. If you bought a captivate on release or since then that line isn't eligible for an upgrade yet anyway.

Speak for yourself. I got a Captivate less than a year ago and I'm eligible for an upgrade.
Same here actually Shammyh.
And don't forget that THIS phone is being released this weekend. They could be referring to this phone if they don't know the difference:

Well he meant the regular users without a special plan. I bought my Captivate in July 2010but i used my wife's upgrade Contract..... my Captivate Died on Weds so I was forced to use my Mother-inlaw's contract. That is the only reason I have the ability to upgrade to the SGS II if released on Sunday. Other than that I would have 6 more months to wait.
I bought the Captivate, July 17, 2010, I have been eligible for an upgrade since July 18, 2011, YMMV.

I bought mine in september '10 and I'm not eligible for an upgrade until may of '12. What I'm gonna do though is use an upgrade from another line on my plan. This way I can get the gs2 now and have the option for the prime or even gs3 next year.

Well I got a bit more bad news for us waiting for the S2 on ATT. I just came back from my local Radioshack and a Samsung rep was there. He told me specifically that the Galaxy S II will be launched on AT&T in early to mid OCTOBER!! WTF
I may wait a few more months and see what comes out by the end of the year, they shouldn't have waited to release this on ATT this long!
Ok so at&t giving special treatment to some customers and giving them more than 1 upgrade per line every 2 years is just one more reason to dislike them as a carrier.
Why does at&t not give me special treatment? I have 4 lines on my family plan and also u-verse tv service.
Playing favorites is a sure way to piss some customers off.

Thank god I decided to import my phone a week before the first announcement lol. That is just too long of a wait already without having any concrete dates. Makes me wonder if they are really holding it out to be sure it competes with something.
Poor americans. Drunk on credit, heading for a cliff, with the corporate greedheads telling you keep going they've got the GPS heading locked in. Guy above is probably right too with the comments about apple having interests it needs to protect. System is clearly broken. Dunno how, but the volk in europe are getting closer to pushing reboot. For that matter, we all gotta flash a new kernel, yellow triangle be damned!

Hey everyone, I realize this thread is VERY common but I have a good question. I have a line that I upgraded in March and received $60 off my bill. I DID NOT use the phone upgrade though. Come April 1st will I lose this upgrade for the unsubsidized phone or can I wait for the EVO 3D and use it then?
Danke!
how ong have you been a customer? how much are you paying for your plan?
You'll still have your full upgrade after april 1st, after you use it then you are boned for two years, if your payment amount isn't great enough. Got that from a sprint rep. Hope this helps.
Edit: just talked to sprint and sad to say, after april first, you will revert to a two year upgrade. Sucks!

I talked to a sprint rep on the phone (someone in India) and basically told her that if they didn't give me the upgrade I would leave sprint for AT&T. I had AT&T before, no problem going back to them if they do a bait and switch on me. If you're polite and thoughtful, they probably will help you.
They transferred me to an American woman (probably because she was more experienced to handle people cancelling, most likely was retention), and she was able to make sure my upgrade would be transferred over. If it doesn't happen tomorrow, I'm switching carriers

I think that I'm going to call and try that. I have been with sprint for a while, not ten years but about 5, and I have waited on my upgrade since Nov for a better device to come out. I don't want to cancel and don't want to play the add a line/cancel a line game so I will try this. Thanks

looks like were all hearing mixed things....
i just got off the phone with sprint (india) and after 15 minutes and lots of hold, we came to the conclusion that while i am currently sprint premier, i will only qualify for premier silver after tomorrow.... normally that means every year i get $75 for an upgrade, and $150 every 22 months
but since i will be eligible for an upgrade (in june) under current premier qualifications, i will NOT lose that upgrade come evo 3d time.... but that AFTER i upgrade this time, i will change over to the new color system, and will only be eligible for $75 in june 2012, and $150 in april 2013.
i hope this helps people understand the situations
tl;dr : current premier upgrade = youll retain until after your next upgrade , then becomes silver or gold premier
Yes...there are many conflicting stories...i too am in the same situation. Basically my friend and sprint told me to upgrade and then return the upgrade and go back to my old phone. He told me that usually it will reset you back to eligible. I'm not sure if its going to work but if not I can always raise hell All who are eligible now and got word that you will "retain" eligibility please post your results after April 1. I will update once i return the phone.

I was told that I would lose my early upgrade on April 1st, so I would have to wait until my 2 yrs is up in November in order to get the discount.
i was told today by a sprint rep, That you shouldn't lose your upgrade. The change will start after u upgrade, then the two year or one year thing should start.
I received a letter from Sprint. I sent an email asking about the change and how long I've been with the company. I don't have the letter on my phone so I can't post it but paraphrasing it said that as of now (beginning of March when I got the letter) I would be eligible for a full upgrade June 1 (used an upgrade on my evo on launch day 6/4/2010). As of April 1 I would be reverted to premier silver status and would no longer be eligible for an upgrade. As of September 1 of this year I will reach 10 years with sprint and be switched to premier gold and receive yearly upgrades. When the pre-order date for the evo 3d is announced I'm going to try and get that changed. As of now though, according to the letter, I'm not eligible till 9/1.
It definitely seems that people are getting conflicting information. The letter I received is the same information that someone on the evo forum who works for sprint retentions gave.

The whole new Sprint Premiere thing is a little out in left field if you ask me. But it is much better than what Verizon is doing to everyone.
As for my upgrade I have been holding off on my upgrade since Oct 2010.
So I am sitting on a 150.00 credit to my Evo 3d.
My poor Evo 4g will feel so alone.
Which reminds me I need to goto sprint today and yell at them about my LG Optimus I put on my plan recently. (They didn't give me the line transfer credit, nor my 100.00 mail in rebate for the phone.)
Wonder why there would be different responses? Don't all of the sprint reps get the same info? Got a different response, myself, between the first day of ctia and when I posted...
Sent from my twopointthree heroc
I actually received a response back from my e-mail as well as a phone call from a an Account Services Specialist from Sprint and they offered to extend the upgrade until my contract ends. They definitely confirmed though that if you were Premier Silver before, you will lose the early upgrade until you qualify for Premier Gold.
I was eligible april 1st and thats when the premier program changed so I lost my upgrade and so I called sprint yesterday about my status and after 5 mins they agreed to change my status within 24 hours... they changed my upgrade status in less than 3 hours... but after i get the 3d i'm screwed for 22 months... but I'm getting the best buy buy back program so I will get like $300 or so back when i trade in to make up for not being able to upgrade yearly then I can just buy a new phone at regular price...
I just checked my account and I'm good to upgrade in Nov. I like what I see with the 3d but I think I'm going to hold out for the next big thing. Funny thing is my wifes line (secondary) got upgraded back in Oct thru wirefly but on the sprint site it still shows her eligible for an upgrade. We live in SD so when we got evos we had to change our numbers to a different state to activate them. I wonder if that eligibility is false. Lol I'm going to try to get her the 3d with it to see what happens.

My upgrade was in Feb and I still havent used it because I'm waiting for the Evo 3D. I was told that I would lose it after April 1st, but I asked to speak to a surpervisor because I was suppose to be Gold anyways because my plan was always over $89.99. So once they looked at my account they changed me to Gold and put my upgrade for april 1. I was happy. I also called the sales people to change the website to reflect my upgrade and they did. Anyone of yall can be Gold member by staying on a plan over $89.99 for 3 months. if you do it now then you can get the Evo 3D by June. If the plan u have now is $69.99 call them and they can change it to a plan over $89.99 so you can get the upgrade in time. The customer rep I spoke to looked at my account and I've had the simply everything plan for months. It was only in March that I went down to $69.99. So that put me to the silver premier. So what they did is back dated it to reflect that March was also Simply everything. They helped me big time cuz I didnt want to lose my upgrade. Call and do the same. I always tell them to note the account and I even talk to a supervisor because I tell them that the story changes everytime I speak to someone different. I hope this info helps all of yall who lost their upgrade but I fought to keep mine. To be a Gold member just stay on a plan over $89.99 for 3 months.
add me to the list.

Just wondering if anyone who upgraded to the captivate on launch able to get the upgrade pricing on the gs2. I upgraded my phone when the captivate launched, and now im not available until march. anyone have a way to get upgrades earlier?!
I upgraded to get a cappy and upgraded to get the sgs2 today, however my situation is probably a little more favorable than yours. I'm on the family talk plan (can't beat 10/month service... doesn't hurt the parents because I use <100 minutes/month) and I used my sisters' upgrade. I told her she could have mine in March. Also you may want to stop by a store and ask, you are available for an upgrade a month before the date the website shows you.
I did. But I was able to get an early upgrade since I have the primary line on a five phone family plan and I spend nearly two bills a month.
Also if you have a premiere account you can get annual upgrades.

i went in today, but they said im not able until march.(the rep also said the deal on the come in 30 days before the date, and they can mess with it then) It's actually a company phone (small business) but it's still every 20 months. :/ i guess the yearly upgrade is only for the primary line (which is probably my boss, but he never uses it.) oh well looks like february it is then. Thanks anyway
I'm the account owner so I'm able to upgrade annually. Been sitting on it since july.
Finally got to use it this morning. My corporate store had seven. I bought the first and the fifth sold before I left.

Seems they wont give me an early upgrade, so for all of you sgs2 owners is this phone worth that price? I was totally in for $199, and still might be for $549 if its worth it. I've paid more for less.
I just want to hear different opinions from owners here.
Yes it is.. The Best android phone ever... got it three days ago n lovin it...
$520 at Walmart. Plus, you can get unlock code from AT&T while contract customers have to wait until next summer.
Worth or not is very personal thing. It's up to you.

But the one at walmart is an at&t samsung galaxy s2? You can then call at&t and ask for an unlock code and they'll give it to you? Not that I need it unless I take it overseas I guess.
It was definitely worth it to me. But, I have no qualms about spending money on gadgets.
Depends on where you're coming from.
From the Infuse - it's borderline. However I'm leaning towards keeping the S2. I may or may not sell the Infuse depending on a number of factors.

It is not about how many lines you have. It is related on how much you pay for monthly on your line. If you paid over $100/month for your line, you get earlier upgrade than others.

Other lines don't count. Only the services you paid for your own line counts. If you have services on your line valued over $100, you get yearly upgrade IIRC.

Come on, is the Galaxy S II really worth it coming from the Galaxy S (Captivate)? I mean the Captivate is Miui dev supported. The Galaxy S II has an unoffical port which made me walk out the ATT store empty handed.
Things might change in a few months, given that the Galaxy S II could be as popular as the first Galaxy S phone. Then the Miui devs will support the device.

They just discontinued this a few months ago.. and it was not based on total pricing of service. It is based off of the MRC of your rate plan. ($59.99+)
Everyone is now on the 20-month upgrade cycle. If you are the primary line and didn't use your yearly upgrade yet, then that would be your last one. then you'll be on the new upgrade cycle.
be careful if you're still on this old cycle and you have your 1 year upgrade coming soon. if you lower your MRC, your upgrade date becomes laaaater

You need to use it then you'll know what I or other are in love with this phone. Just remember, anytime a new phone is launched, no matter it has the best specs in the world, it becomes obsolete.

Love the sgs2 but if I were paying that much I might wait for nexus prime.
Does anyone have any good intel as to when we may see the Titan at AT&T? Also, is there any new news as to when we might get Skype for WP7? Christmas is coming and I'm due for an upgrade!

Microsoft held a big WP7 event in NYC today. They showed off all the phones.
The only good tidbit out of the event (that we did not already know) was that the HTC Titan on AT&T would be priced around $200.
No release date was given by AT&T and the demo units were not even branded, which makes some reporters think it will be some time before we see units in the stores.
So, I am waiting also as I am eligible for an upgrade and will use it for the Titan!
Eligible for an upgrade myself, dying to get one.
I was at an ATT Corporate store yesterday looking at the Focus S and he said their releases were on the 1 and 3rd Sundays of the month. He thought it was probably going to be Nov 20th. He didnt have any exact knowledge of the date. He didnt think any other major ones would be released after that for the holidays.

Confirmed by AT&T today online that the Titan will be in stores November 20th.
happy Dance, cant wait. Too bad I am working that whole day
Assuming nothing bad happens over the next few weeks, I’d say the 29th of November is the big day. Can you patiently wait a month?

Uh, Best Buy is already selling a Verizon Note 2 in some places.
We can be patient, but we'd also like it sooner. Anybody does since Verizon is Effing us over with it.

Has this been confirmed? I read that some Bestbuys have them on display. I called my local Bestbuy and they did not have them in stock.

I think everyone on this board is aware of the release date.
Best Buy isn't selling them, that is the demo unit.
AT&T's note was released on the 9th or 11th I forget, but the demo unit was in-store on the 3rd.
It could've been someone just putting out the unit way too early or for BF so people can see it. Hopefully it will be out before that, but so far all signs from VZW have been pointing to no.

That says new customer 2 year act. Nothing about pre order.
Definitely looks like they are selling it.

Nobody has confirmed it.
Could've been the wrong ad put out early.
And I believe this happened to the AT&T note too at some places, but it was only for preorder. This seems like the right time for preorder anyways.
Sure looks like it, but dont say they are selling it when no one has confirmed it. Even droid central beat around the bush basically avoiding the words available at best buy now
I wonder if Verizon will delay the Note 2 even more, seeing as how the DROID DNA is coming out the 21st...

I honestly doubt they will delay the Note 2's launch for that reason. I believe this because they have more than likely already delayed the Note 2 for the DNA.
29th
I called a non-corporate store yesterday and they said they didn't have a release day. They called back today and said they just recieved a call from verizon that the official release day is the 29th.

Verizon may have the best speeds, but overall, a pain in the ass.
What he said. Maybe the best LTE network but in terms of high end phones locked/encrypted bootloaders, and delayed releases, bid red does not rate highly for those items.

VZW, never early, but always on-time. It seems like those original documents that surfaced about the N2 launch were correct.
That sucks, on the plus side only ten more days. I woud've liked to have it over thanksgiving break.

Yeah, considering the other carrier Note 2s shipped without the muliti-window feature, I'm guessing those carriers pushed for it to be released early - trying to be the first to get it.
Also, I used to have Alltel and it wasn't that they were late with phones, it was that they never got many good phones at all. Also, there were 2 people in an Alltel store at a time max, often 1. My area is so populated that the main road has 4 lanes each direction so yeah... it was a good 2 hours or easily more waiting since most people were asking about plans and then phones having not done any research first.
It would be nice to have it by Black Friday, but no such luck. A week until ths shipping starts.

I don't know? Since the KR version had this at the beginning and the Eu version didn't. I don't know why this is, but I don't think it is carrier specifc, but rather Samsung. So I wouldn't say it is carrier specific pushing for an early release date - as MW is available now and it isn't like we are getting JB 4.1.2, rather, this is the way it was supposed to go down on all carriers.
However, I do know VZW usually does extensive testing on their products before-hand. Still though, the biggest carrier in the USA shouldn't be getting phones last.
26th
Just an update guys. I called VZW Corporate and the lady I spoke to said my order should ship BY the 26th if that helps any. Who knows at this point

I think people are using the words "ship" interchangeably. For some, the mean get all the devices into Fedex's system and for others it means that the phones are on Fedex's trucks. I have been told by 7 different agents (over the phone) that the devices is supposed to exit the pre-order system on the 25th. Assuming it does so, then I predict the next day (26th) Verizon would be talking to Fedex and generating labels. Then (27th) I would expect the devices to be on the trucks and on the road to the different distribution centers.

I can confirm this as well. When I have talked to reps who seem competent, they say the average ship time is three days from the warehouses to your doorstep. 1 day to get everything on the trucks and 2 days for shipping - makes sense it takes an additional one day for making labels for these/boxing as well. so 4 days seems very reasonable.
