The Gun Metal Taurus Aluminum Case has been on order for exactly one week.
waiting....waiting.....
Get it in the store. Us reps need all the help we can get
No Brick Stores until November for Norcal
Calling around to see if anyone will have it in stock.
Everyone is denying having any until November for Northern California.
The Parrot stores are saying nothing until Novemeber.
The AT&T stores are saying nothing in the store but they can order for me.
Is AT&T gonna make us wait even Longer??????
Starting to smell like it....

Best Buy in Sacramento says they have them now but can only sell them tomorrow. He also said come early.
Would I be able to get this at Best Buy while extending my contract?
I'm good for an upgrade now. Will best buy be able to give me the $200 price tag as an upgrade?
Normally (other) stores say I need to go through AT&T.
Pre-Order for Sunday (Oct.2) Pickup
I can personally confirm that Best Buy is accepting pre-orders for units they have locked up in the store.
I just made a $50 pre-order in Sacramento. Looked like they had 5-6 units on their locked shelf, one of which he scanned for my order.
Not aware of any other stores that will have them for pick-up tomorrow.
Feels like these will be hard to obtain for these early days.
Good luck everyone and happy Adroiding....

What part of Northern California. I'm in Redding and our Best Buy will have them. I pre-ordered mine, but I called to make sure it would be there tomorrow and the guy told me they had 8 in stock in addition to the pre orders.

My local BB is taking preorders on it, but they could not give me a definite answer they'll have it on Sunday. Best bet is to call your local B&M stores on Friday/Saturday to see if they've got a shipment
I reserved one at a local Best Buy mobile in the mall of all things on the 25th. Funny thing the receipt says I can pick it up on the 25th but that's a computer error. The sales rep said they will be there this Sunday.
It will be available Sunday.
Local att store opens at 9. I will be there at 830.

I just pre-ordered mine this morning from the store here in Sacramento.
$50 minimum.
Had five or six locked up on his "Online-Order" Shelf.
Scanned one of them for my order.
I'm getting it for the $199 price since I'm OK for an upgrade.
Maybe better if I can provide evidence of a better deal.
I made several calls this morning to the local AT&T stores.
None had any stock, but could order for me.
Parrot was not expecting any until November.
If your in a hurry, then I'd suggest either Best-Buy pre-order or Direct online order.
Good luck everyone and happy Androiding....

Considering today is Friday, tomorrow is the last day of possible deliveries before Christmas. Even if there were any available online, which there aren't, it is extremely unlikely you would get one delivered by tomorrow even with overnight shipping.There are a few to none available for sale from the stores as everyone is scrambling to fill pre-orders.
In short, you're probably out of luck friend, unless by some miracle you manage to find one from a B&M store without a pre-order (unlikely).

damn, looks like im waiting till my preorder comes in.
May be worth calling some smaller computer places. Sounds like some people on here have found ones at some smaller stores.
You're not going to find them at any of the major retailers. Both Future Shop and Best Buy have stated that they will fill their pre-orders first before any make it onto the store shelves....and no one seems to have received a pre-order from them yet. The only people seeming to have success are pre-orders from other retailers or stumbling upon them at much smaller retailers. Good luck.....you're going to need it....haha
Did it launch in Canada? Thought it got delayed...

The fact that Sprint has not set a street date yet is scary to think about.I pre ordered on May 7th and have no idea when I will ever see my purchase.I thought for sure it would be in stores by Friday but it seems I may be way off...
Either the new arrivals have to be inspected just like the 1st batch or there is a major shortage on the S4 Chips or its a combination of both.I feel us who pre ordered in Stores not called Best Buy won't see our phones for 2-3 week minimum.

So what are your thoughts..im at a loss of words here..How do you go from a national launch date of May 18,putting stupid little memos out to your stores about opening early and having launch parties to a one week delay,sent out pre orders and SCREW any local sprint stores you went to and pre ordered your phone from?
I don't understand and wish we could know more about what is going on instead of being left in the dark.Because as it stands they have my money collecting interest and I have no god damn clue when I will see my purchase.(yes i pre ordered but i paid the full amount)
i went to the sprint store to buy a case and they were all excited to see the phone and the ppl their told me national release is next week. take that with a grain of salt
I'm another one following closely. I even paid 115$ to get my upgrade date pushed up so when I buy this phone I will get it for the upgrade price...Anyway I didn't pre order it because I have the Evo3d and was gonna stay with it because I didn't think it was that much of an upgrade...anyhow I just cracked the screen on my 3d from dropping it...so I figured instead of paying 100$ to get a refurbished Evo3d I midas well just get the lte...So thats what I'm going to do...
So I'm waiting for it to hit the stores..whenever that will be...I see Bestbuy is still taking preorders but what I'm worried about is that the phone will hit the stores before I get my preorder...but I just don't know...I'm not sure if I should just wait for the stores to start selling it or preorder it from best buy..
Any thoughts??
That sucks Brian. I do know there is an impending S4 shortage. The US version of galaxy 3 will have s4 too, rumors are iPhone 5 also
I'd be ecstatic if launch was this weekend or next week
Someone posted a number on the bestbuy thread. It gave me the run around to preorder at stores or online. Online says to call the number or go to a store. Gonna try a store after dinner

i too am awaiting sprint stores to carry the phone so i can use an upgrade. i was hoping i wouldn't have to wait long
Good venting topic. I could not pre-order from Sprint online because my upgrade elegibility only reset on May 18. I could not pre-order from 3rd parties because I have a SERO plan. Now BestBuy store pre-orders are being filled while the Sprint corporate store where I'm on the Device Waiting List for EVO LTE tells me that maybe they'll have them next week. Should have just pre-ordered at BB and gone through the pain of activating a phone on a SERO line there. I sure hope this merits at least a waived activation fee once the phones are actually available.
I still believe that most of us pre orderers will get the pphone tomorrow ..I did mine at target and they said they will have it tomorrow ..and I'm the only preorder..I'm thinking about my lonely evo all by itself..I wonder where it is right now ..wish I could go save it from her misery

We are in the same boat my friend..I initially went to Best Buy for my pre order because of the deal they had with the gift cards.After waiting for 30 minutes i remembered i went though this last year with my Evo3D.Im on a really cheap contract(Sero+ Discounts from the OG Evo 4G) I have 2 lines unlimited everything No $10 data premium charge for $95/month..No way Best Buy could keep me on this plan.Last year I had to go to a Sprint Corporate store to Pre Order.
I can only upgrade through a Sprint corporate location because my plan doesn't show up in 3rd party computers...And here we are to this very moment,lost and hoping for some info.I've ruled out this weekend(god its going to be long) and set my eyes to next week...Im not looking for a freebe here or a damn cheeseburger..Just give me a god damn date and be done with it.I think there isn't a date because its going to be a long while(2+ weeks) buts thats just the pessimist in me./Frustration

I've been saying it for a while. But there are more issues out there. The fact that some of these phones cleared customs a week ago and only getting to customer now is crazy. I think the phones are barely trickling in. In fact I know they are.
There is a reason why only enough phones (for half a dozen preorders) are being shipped to every best buy. No extras are being shipped anywhere.
Sprint has dragged their feet with a new launch date because they just don't have the supply. I think they fulfilled the preorders first, then shipped to Best Buy, then shipped to Wirefly, then shipped to Amazon. Now they are probably trying to build some stock for a national launch. But its trickling.

Thats fine..but trickle that Sh*t to the customers who gave them their $$ in THEIR stores as well..Im sure there weren't many of us...We pre ordered just like the rest of these guys.Why are we the ones to wait..If Best Buy can hand it out in store to their customers we should be treated the same way.
Hello Everyone,
I am buying outright once my local sprint store gets one. My job pays for my simply everything plan but, if I want ownership of the phone, I must buy outright. To have done an upgrade or bought outright through the corporate account, would have been a nightmare with our office. Plus, the phone would have shipped to corporate( in a different state) then would have shipped to me.
Sure hope my local stores can get some soon. Yes I must wait but, it is worth getting free simply everything plan and mobile internet for my laptop that I can use as personal too.

I agree. Seems like Best Buy got preferential treatment. Think about it, they had to get the phones shipped to their distribution centers then shipped to the individual stores and they are handing out the phones the same day online sprint orderers are getting their phones.
None of the logistics of this whole ordeal make any sense. But one would think that Sprint Stores would have higher importance over third party retailers.
I'm beginning to get a little aggravated myself.
I did go to the trouble of preordering but someone at Sprint keyed in the order number wrong for someone else who was canceling and my order got cancelled by mistake. So, I call Sprint and spend about an hour and a half moving up the chain of command only to find out that I'm SOL. The phone is no longer available for preorder nor is it available for regular orders.
I'm thinking "no big deal" since I'll be able to walk into a Sprint store the day after preorders arrive and pick one up but now it's looking like that's not gonna happen. To add insult to injury they've still got my $216 and they're telling me that it will be another 10-15 days before they'll be able to credit it back to my account.
Sheesh!! Come on guys........

While box sales are important for corp owned stores, they make up a very small % of overall box sales within the company. They are mainly for customer service.

Actually now it's no go for we SERO-P customer to upgrade at BB. I pre-ordered the phone from BB online on the first day, and today they shoot a call telling me that the order could not be processed since I'm on SERO-P. I then called Sprint employee account service and got confirmed that we SERO user can no longer get new phones while keep the plan from 3rd party retailer. Now I'm stuck at nowhere to get the phone except waiting for the official launch date to be announced. Hope this would make you feel better
Has anyone seen any in stores/etc? I really want the black one, but am running out of time to buy the phone and still be eligable for the $100 trade in promotion which makes it much more worth while. Most stores I've called say not announced... but one store said a few stores have started getting them. I'd even consider the unlocked or dev version from htc direct, but hence no black available there either...
I'm starting to wonder if the black is worth the extra $100 over the silver... but I'm not sold on the silver yet.

All I know is they are over -150 orders in and they are just waiting for them to start showing up. If you cut it close get the silver and just trade it before the 14 days. I am hopeful that it will be either tomorrow or early next week.
I have not heard from a single person who has got it...
I've seen it in store as a demo and was offered one today but ended up buying the silver. I'm in Atlanta for your reference.

probably but I'm sure you probably can try to argue that it was suppose to be out the 19th and you had to get the rebate just to see what they said. I just talked to AT&T and it may be better news she said that the preorders and now at -144 so either they started shipping some or people canceled the orders.
I guess I'll call some Best Buys today then... I bet they'd even price match Walmart's $150. I'll also try calling a few corporate stores again today, though I'm sure they're tired of people calling.

Unless they actually checked the availability right in front of you there's reason to believe them. I've been misled several times already.
I don't follow market trends or tactics but if I had to make a guess. You will see the black show up on the S4 release date.
Additionally, I'm surprised BB matched Wal-Mart. The price match doesn't include wireless phones. At least that is what their policy states.

I took a quick look and didn't find any Best Buy topics. I pre-ordered a Verizon Note 8 Orchid Gray. Still charged and no movement. Btw I did the best buy preorder to get the 150 instant off

Hey thanks guys..been off xda for awhile. I cancelled two Verizon preorders for the Best Buy deal because it was worth it for me. Guess we have to wait
We're talking $10 a day here. Maybe 15
I cancelled my VZW pre-order yesterday and went with Best Buy to save the 150. I'll be OK waiting until the 15th.
happens everytime lol. so funny. I pre order from vzw. best buy ships early.. I order from bestbuy. verizon ships early... i give up lol.
Anyone notice you can no longer make changes to your Best Buy pre order? I didn't notice that yesterday. It seems like at least 2 of the carriers are shipping now despite what VZW and Samsung say.
I ordered from best buy kinda wish i would have from vzw for the chance to get it early but with the 150 savings and i just ordered the whitestone dome screen protector guess its a good thing i have to wait

I know. I had a VZ pre-order done within minutes when it went live. I cancelled yesterday to get the 150 off and still get the 480 for my S7 Edge. Oh well, in the long run we'll be glad we saved the 150.
150 buys the vr goggles.
So from reading the other chats, looks like Samsung is holding the deliveries for everyone. Maybe we'll get them the same time as everyone

Great way to look at it lol
Does anyone know how the trade in works. It says you have to go through Verizon. I didn't see anything about it when I ordered
I ordered two of them a couple of days ago. Best Buy says that they'll be in my hands by 9/15. Hope it's true.

Check out the VZW waiting room thread. I spoke to VZW and Best Buy at length about this. VZW told me if you buy from Best Buy I don't get the 480 for my S7 Edge. Best Buy says I do and that they made that deal with Verizon months ago. The idiot from VZ said he saw the promo for buying it from VZW and one for when you walk into Best Buy and preorder it but nothing about buying on line. I did screen shots from the Best Buy site showing that the 480 deal with the fine print that the deal is directly with VZ. Best buy says once I activate my Note 8 I have to take my S7 Edge into a Verizon corporate store and they will take the phone and apply the discount to my monthly payments. They also told me that it takes 3 months before the credit will come through but it's pro rated from the day you buy the phone.
We will see. To save 150 I'm willing to beat up VZW.

Thanks for the information.. before I ordered I thought best buy did the trade in but I guess not ..I'm still looking on eBay and swappa for a trade in device
It would be hilarious if the carriers are instructed to hold the shipments at the distribution centers until the 14th! LOL
Classic story.
The guy on the first shoulder says "You are saving money every month by waiting a week or two, you will have plenty of time to enjoy the phone."
The other guy says "Cancel that Best Buy order today, order from AT&T. You've been using an iPhone for 9 months you have suffered enough. The discount isn't worth using an iPhone for one more week."
Then the first guys says "Oh come on, the iPhone isn't THAT bad."
Then the second guy pulls out a handgun and shoots him.
I don't know what to do.

My Best Buy order status has changed from "Processing" to "Preparing". I logged onto my Verizon wireless account and attempted to trade in my Pixel XL. It shows a promotional $480 trade in value! I also noticed my line is no longer eligable for trade in and I owe $786/24 payments! I hope it ships soon!
