LG you are going to lose sales and it will all be AT&T's fault. Three stores and a support call later, I am empty-handed with no LG G2.
One store said they didn't know what it was and didn't think the phone was in stock yet, put me on hold, and never came back. I waited exactly 10 minutes on the dot, and hung up. Second time I called back, they knew what it was but said they didn't have it yet (ugh). I asked if they had a demo model, they said no demo model available. In this store's slight-defense, it was an AT&T retailer, not an AT&T store.
Another store said they haven't gotten their shipment yet (what?). My guess by the vocal tone was that they actually had no idea what they were talking about, I decided I didn't want to deal with that and proceeded on.
Third store, a big fancy store in a huge ritzy strip mall...yes, we have the G2. Okay, great, so I drive down...
No display. No advertising. In fact, the rep didn't even know what it was and instead asked if I wanted to look at the S4 instead, no, I pulled my S4 out of my pocket and said I already have one. I am buying a G2 for the Snapdragon 800, the display, and the battery tech. The rep asked the manager, the manager said they just got them in stock but haven't put any out yet so they'd be right back. I sat there for 5 minutes. Turns out they do not have a demo model either, so they had to pop a packaged one open for me.
Looks good. Proceed to buy, ask for screen protectors (I hate AT&T screen protectors, btw, they degrade image quality, but I wanted to protect it until better ones come in the mail). They have no cases or screen protectors in stock, and as far as they can tell in the system they don't have any on the way.
Great. Fine, whatever.
"Wait, is this the 16GB model?"
Rep didn't know. Box doesn't say. Support documents on their iPad that they pull up are a mess of broken links, missing info, and NOTHING about storage capacity.
They then told me that I can just buy an SD Card for it. I laughed and said it doesn't use an SD Card, they didn't believe me and checked the phone all over...okay, customer right.
I said a 16GB model won't work for me and I need the 32GB one. They check their system and their incoming stock, nothing about 32GB models. They disappear in the back again. Per them on their return, retail stores will only be getting the 16GB model, and the 32GB model is only available online. Ugh!
I call AT&T up and the rep says something to the effect of the 32GB models not being available because so many people are buying it up in stores. What a lie. I corrected him and said the phone just came out today and even though I want one I can't even find a store who knows what it is. He checks again, okay, maybe the retail stores didn't get 32GB ones and they are only available online. He said I can order online or through him, except as soon as it turns out I am paying full retail, he directs me to order it online instead. Great service.
LG, you've made a great phone with great technology and you are losing sales by the minute due to AT&T incompetence. No, I don't want to pre-order an iPhone. No, I don't want an S4.
I can barely buy an LG G2 when I know I want one, how is anyone else going to get it?
I totally agree. Walked in the local [email protected] store today and not even a display was up. IPhone 5c was definitely being advertised though. I asked for the lg g2 and they looked confused. Had to grab the manager to find out they actually had them in. the manager confirmed it was in. I was gonna buy it retail but I was turned away because I'm not an [email protected] customer. Ridiculous
This sounds more like Verizon than anything.
usually AT&T is pretty good.
I went to my local store and they were more than willing to help me.
They always are...
Asked about accessories and they ran to the back to check and came back wiht this horrid body glove case but...
Yeah, My AT&T store was all over it.
Verizon on the other hand... I am scared to go int here. I will end up walking out with a Motorola. Arghhh

Can you confirm it is the 16GB model? If it is in fact the 32GB model and they just didn't know, I would probably go back and buy it...

I can understand the frustration, but I have a couple of responses to things you said. First, as far as I'm aware, no US LG G2 comes with 16GB. Second, you can check to see how much storage the phone has in the settings menu.

Since they had no demo they didn't want me turning on and bypassing activation on the other unless I bought it.
The retail LG G2 costs $540, the online one costs $575. Another indication that the retail store model comes with less storage.

No problem in Atlanta. Went to a store when they opened. They brought me the box, tired to sell me on Next, I laughed.... bought the 32gb version and love it so far.

Wow. Based on everything I've read, they haven't released an American version with 16GB. http://www.lg.com/us/cell-phones/lg-D800-g2 That states that the LG G2 for AT&T has 32GB of storage. I'm not arguing, but I am researching this as well. I have heard people asking the same question, but everything I've read leads me to believe all US versions are 32GB.

Kimberly: Thank you for chatting in with Best Buy Mobile, my name is Kimberly. What questions may I answer for you today?
Yes can you confirm something for me?
Meroduct SKU 1715501, does this come with 16 or 32GB of storage space?
Kimberly: It is a 16GB phone memory.
Me: I don't believe that LG released a US version with 16GB of internal memory. Since there is no expansion slot for an SD card, this is a major deal.
Kimberly: This phone does have a slot for an SD card (up to 64GB card).
Me: No ma'am it doesn't. That I can confirm most definitely.
Me: No version of the phone has a slot for expansion. The battery is not removable.
Kimberly: Media card slot
Accepts microSD cards up to 64GB (not included). This is under the specs.
Me: So is 5.5" display, but that isn't true either.
Kimberly: Well that is just a mis type.
This is a conversation I had with a Best Buy rep. She was far from helpful. I promptly reviewed my experience as negative when she disconnected after saying that.

No problem.
Based on your comment and some others here, I called 3 more stores. 2 will let me order it and have it shipped to my house, but don't stock any. But...wait for it...
The third one has both 16GB and 32GB models, $540 and $575 respectively, and I can pick it up anytime this evening. Yay!
...except I can't cancel my online order, apparently it is too late, so now I have two...
All companies are preparing for the new iPhone which launch in a few weeks. Saw a friend who works,for Verizon email yesterday.... basically said don't push any phones because the next 2weeks they are training on iPhone and ios7...

I've spoken with 4 different Best Buy reps and an AT&T rep that know almost nothing about the device. The Best Buy reps all claim that the phone is available in white from them. The AT&T rep says that the phone isn't available in white. One Best Buy rep told me that the white phone is a 16GB phone. I'm getting conflicting answers and according to LG's site, the D-800 LG G2 comes with 32GB of internal storage.

Just got off the phone with Amazon, if you read the product description, it DOES NOT come with an SD card, translation - no movies or games in 3D. I want the phone for the processor, but when I get it I want the "cool" part too. I'm paying full retail so I'm going to end up adding a line and getting it for the discount, then... Still will be less than the $500 after activation and I get it tomorrow. If anyone is in the same boat you might want to re-think it.

It's probably just a description error since the phone isnt out yet. I dont see why they would take out the microSD card, boxes are probably shipped sealed.

No, I just off the phone with them too and they said the same thing. It's one of the reasons why the phone is cheaper with them.
An 8 GB SDHC card off Newegg is 12 bucks. If you're spending more than 12$ more somewhere else, you're losing out.
Just saying.
No way it comes without a SD card. Someone doesn't know what they are talking about at Amazon. They get the same box everyone else gets from Sprint

That's what I was thinking too. In all the unboxings you watch, the SD card is sitting there inside the phone already. Unless Amazon opens all them, and takes the SD card out? (Sarcasm)...
The rep was probably like: SD card with the phone? Um, no. You get the phone, that's it. We don't give you a free SD card shipped with it... Completely unawares that the SD card is already in there...
But you never know!
Woah wait does my wirefly one not come with 3d stuff preloaded??!?!?! Or an sd card??!!!

well that sucks
I really do not think you guys should worry. The chances that the amazon orders do not come with the same sd card that everyone else is getting is slim to none. The folks at amazon are simply reading off the same information that you were when you called in and are simply repeating that the description states no sd card. Desription is more than likely wrong.
I agree about them reading straight off the website like I was, and they both admitted it, but if you look at the other phones on Amazon (EVO, Thunderbolt) they specifically state they come with 8GB or 16 and can support up to 32 GB. EVO 3D only says can support up to 32 GB sd card. Thus the cancellation

According to a wire fly rep on another android board your eve 3d will come with the same thing that comes from sprint.
You kidding? Amazon reps = fail. Ive called in several times about false listings... they just credit me about 20 percent of the purchase cost and I am on my way. (If it was missing something)
They gave me back $25 on a pair of $80 earphones because it was missing the cleaning tool haha.
That's very weird. I thought Amazon was just a powerhouse when it came to selling items, so they could afford to be cheaper (like walmart).
this has been beaten to death. THe phone comes with an sd card, end of story. It is the same box that sprint ships you. They cant sell anything other than what sprint would give you. They dont open the boxes and take out the cards, that is stupid. All the websites have issues sometimes when it comes to discription. If you wanna know the true specs always go by the original specs from sprint.
The reps will never guarantee anything. Obviously a sprint or htc rep is going to not guarantee if the third party will come with a card or not. Trust me it is their job to save their ass by not promising you anything. Sprint rep will tell you to buy from sprint if you want a great product, it is typical.
When my phone comes from amazon and I will let you know that it came with the sd card.

They never open the box to tell you what comes inside of it, neither they have the box right next to them to see what it says on there. Just go by HTC and Sprint, those are the real specs. Wirefly, amazon can say it doesn't come with the card, if sprint says it comes with the card then it comes with it.
This was the same issue with thunderbolts where bestbuy website said it doesn't come with the card, I asked the guy at store and he said the phones come directly from verizon or HTC and we dont even touch them. They are the same phones that verizon would give you in their store. To think that we take out sd card is obsurd.
Wow all this issue about the description not saying it includes an SD card, yet no one noticed that the amazon listing still says it records in 1080p. So if you want to believe that amazon honestly gets a different box than Sprint and has a different product then you might as well believe that you will be able to record in 1080p, sounds like a hell of a bargain to me.
To be clear, I'm not saying I expect that Amazon shipped E3D's will shoot 1080p, but you might as well believe that if you are taking their description at face value.

Anyone hear of any good deals on the HTC Titan releasing on AT&T this Sunday? I know it'll be $200 straight from AT&T on a new/upgrade line. Anyone hear anything else from other retailers?
Or even, what is the unactivated price of the phone? Haven't seen AT&T speak a word about it being bought outright.
no **** if they can register online for a new windows phone for $0.01 and i am thinking that Titan would be the same.
Or will be and Bogo (Buy one get one) like other rumor before.
So sad that i am not american, or having SSN to register online.
Would love to trade in my UK Titan for AT&T Titan since i need U.S Agent on the phone, not UK.
Finally listed on the AT&T site: http://www.wireless.att.com/cell-ph...+TITAN+(TM)&q_sku=sku5400337#fbid=VqHNNV47IAn
$199.99 on a 2 year commitment
$549.99 without a commitment

Course I'm gonna get it. I just want to find a place with the best price today. XD
Went to my local AT&T store today and they did not get any Titans in yet.
What a disappointment!
Same here. I've called every store in a 75 mile radius, and none of them have it in stock. My local store says they don't even have an estimate of when they will get any.
So frustrating for ATT to post that it will arrive on the 20th, but then they don't have ANY available to get your hands on.
I even went online to upgrade my line on the ATT site, but when I click that I want to upgrade, it gives me the iPhone ONLY! No options for any other phone. Hmmm Starting to sound like Bill upset ATT at some point...
I just called 611 and asked them where I could get it. She put me on hold and called all the same stores I did and got back on the line and let me know she was unable to find any either.
Also, my local ATT Rep that I deal with told me that ATT took his Company Owned WP7 from him and replaced it with an LTE Android phone. He said he asked to keep his WP7, but they will not allow him to because they are pushing their LTE network. He's pretty frustrated...
I'll cross-post this from my original WPCentral post.
I had to try two stores but the 2nd one actually had the Titan on display, in the place of the Focus. It was next to the Focus S, which was convenient.
Impressions:
Love it. I want one, definitely. Build quality is fantastic, feels great on the hand, not too large at all.
I compared the screen to the Focus S and I prefer the Titan. The white point is better and it doesn't turn blue when you view at an angle. The contrast is also very good, though obviously the blacks on AMOLED are nill, and LCD can't compete with that. But blacks are not the only screen characteristic, and combining them all, I prefer the Titan's. On full brightness, I think both were equivalent.
I prefer the Titan's button layout. Not going to do many accidental button presses when handling, unlike the Focus S.
The one thing I prefer about the Focus S is the oleophobic screen coating. I tend to have moist hands, and my finger glides with less effort on the Focus S, whereas on the Titan it's more like sliding down a regular piece of glass. I will get used to it, but I thought I'd mention it.
Oh, the Focus S was plugged in and it DEFINITELY has a typing lag. The Titan was not plugged in, and everything was fluid and snappy, including typing.
I had a conversation about the $0.01 sale and they caught onto some language on the AT&T site that says:
Exclusively at att.com - starting Friday, November 25 through Monday, November 28, customers can enjoy select Windows 7, BlackBerry and Android devices starting at only a penny.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
But below, under Saturday, it clearly says "All WP7 devices."
They sent an e-mail to a manager to see if they could do anything about that deal for me, as well as waive activation on the two lines. If not, I'll just wait until Saturday and order online without the hassles and arguing.
On a side note, they also said the employee discount does NOT apply to the $30 messaging unlimited service item, only to the base plan and data package. This is a bummer, if true. I'll try arguing with Premier over the phone after I get all set up, either this week or next Saturday.
Hell, I can't even find a store that 1. Knows what phone I'm talking about. And then 2, has the Titan in. I went to two separate stores and the first girl didn't know what phone I was talking about and said, I don't think we have a phone called that. You may be referring to the "Vivid"? Another associate walked by and she asked her. She said she saw the display in the back, but the phone hadn't come in. Try back tomorrow around noon. Second store, the lady at first didn't know about the Titan, then after I jogged her memory, she said oh yeah, we have the display out, but no phones. She proceeded to ask her manager about it and he said, they pushed their ship date back and it may be a few days. WTF!
I tried almost 10 different stores in the Kansas City Missouri/Kansas area and all of them either did not have any, didn't get it in yet, or sold what little they had. One store had a demo, another store said they sold 2 this morning but that was all they had.
Most of the stores told me that they were expecting them tomorrow. So I guess I'm making another trip out tomorrow...
So, what happened? The iPhone was EVERYWHERE! Ready to sell at midnight +1 second. Why is this phone so hard to get ahold of? Did HTC Fail on shipment? Did ATT Fail on ordering? What the heck? And WHY did ATT announce it's Nov 20th availability, when they knew they would not have it?
Hey, I'm a big boy, so I'll survive, but it is a bit silly...
It's frustrating that iPhone is treated like a princess, even though many people really don't prefer it. My thought is that Apple is kicking back a LOT of money to ATT to make it so.
If you have a Microsoft retail store in your area, most likely they are in stock.
oh yeah? so look like all americans can buy titan pretty cheap.
i might look for somebody here to trade in the UK version for US version if there aren't any downgrade in the hardware. Ha!
Maybe, because i just can't stand the British accent.
Hit me up when you have them, i want to hear the review from you guys.
AT&T Titan
Just picked up my Titan from the AT&T store yesterday after church. The guy said it was the last one. I asked how many did you get? He said only one. I'm like WHAT! What's up with that man?! So he says they don't get many of the new phones when they're first released. So I asked how about the new android phone. They got 6 of those in. So I said dude, why is AT&T hatin on WP7. LoL
Anyway, it was only $99 in the store yesterday. $199 if you purchased online. Don't know if the price is the same today or not but that was my experience.
So far so good. I logged in to my windows live account online, went to market place and reinstalled all of my app's that I previously had on my HTC Surround. The apps were practically installing as fast as I could go through my list and choose them. When I clicked on the last one to install and checked my phone out it was already done. I had my phone connected to my wifi at the time. The flash is super bright, and the battery life has been good. Had full battery still when I woke up this morning. Didn't leave it charging. Then I took the Navigon GPS software for a test run on the way to work this morning. Battery is holding pretty well after a 30 minute drive using GPS. Looks like it may have dropped maybe 10%. I'll report again this evening after a full days use.
I'm planning on ordering this online Friday for a penny.. I was going to wait for the 3rd gen phones but for a penny I cannot resist!!!

$99 in store? What!? Is that special pricing or something or did it actually say that on the price tag in the store?
I totally didn't look at the price tag of the demo phone, I was too busy looking at the phone. I should double check today!
I also picked one up, but not for $99 ($199). I'd like to know if they messed that up too, or if you just got lucky.
My daughter invited us to dinner last night about 50 miles away from my house, so I made calls to stores close to her. The closest one was 25 miles past her house and they only had 1 left out of 4. The held it for me, and now I am the proud owner of a new Titan. So far, I really love it. I have not had a chance to play much, but I'm sure I'll be posting more as I get into it more.
I'm REALLY glad to hear about the battery being pretty good a couple posts up. My Focus was dying pretty quickly, so I hope this helps.
Congrats to all the other new owners!
PS: I did get a chance to try Tango Video Chat with my Wife's iPhone 4s, and I have to say, the video quality in & out is 200% better on the Titan than it was on my Focus.
i think i will go to Radioshack or AT&T store today and check if they have them because i see none last night at bestbuy.
Well, welcome aboard the Titan Owner Club guys, prjkthack just need to buy it,my friend. haha.
can you guys check if the AT&T version do the turn-by-turn navigation with bing map?

I'm sure as long as its in the US with a US Live ID, that turn-by-turn will work with Bing. I don't think its a phone/hardware thing, more of a location of the phone/regional setting/Live ID thing.
Also, Radio Shack doesn't have any in-store. They do online. They generally don't carry a lot of Windows Phone devices (almost none to be exact).
Update: Gave in and just ordered it directly online from at&t. Which I guess I won't have to deal with store employees but at the same time, just means I gotta wait another day or two. Hopefully it ships out today.

Yeah, cause I've heard many many MANY stories about people buying MP3 players and SD cards from China saying a certain size, and when you plug it into the computer, it says the same thing, but really is half or a quarter of the size. Those Chinese are always ****ing with us in the states.

u have to know this is a fake right? Its probably only 4 GB.
Ordered a couple of "original" Kingston 16GB microsd cards from China.
Most of them are f*ucked one way or the other. Wrong size meaning it fails when you pass the real size limit. Others lose all data when powercycling, turn on/off. Others just don't work in cell phones but work on PCs. Then there are combinations of the above...
Good luck!
Yep, don't go for it. It's so easy for these Chinese resellers to take a 2gb card, paint a 3 in front of the 2, and make it look like a 32gb card.
99% sure that's fake. I just got a class 4 32gb from amazon and I can't tell much of a difference from my class 10 smaller card. Reads are really similar
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
The same seller has a 64gb microsdxc card for $18.88 - they retail at Best Buy for $199 regularly and the cheapest I've seen online is $150. One guy here in XDA said he found one for $99 at Best Buy not too long ago, but even if $99 was the going rate, that's still an 80% discount.
So yeah, definitely seems too good to be true if you ask me.
i dont want them chinese people taking my money!!!!
I've had this problem once....I complained VIA paypal and the seller refunded me and told me I didn't have to send it back....

Hopefully I'll be able to do the same if such a situation occurs. Ordered one this morning out of blind excitement.
Never buy from china.. Even if its 32 gb it won't even last a week. Trust me I bought tons of stuff from ebay (shipped from china)...
Chances are that it will be fake. And to get your money back, you probably will have to pay to ship it back - costing you as much as if you just ate the cost of the card.
I know from experience... Was worth the chance and found out that I just donated to some Chinese guy's new car.
here's the test, make a rar archive 20gb+ in size and split the files into any size less than 3gb. transfer all the files on to the sdcard, then transfer them off. transfer them back on and off again. then try unraring. if it falls, you got scammed, if it passes then send it to guinness as the first sdcard purchased at a massive discount that wasn't a fraud
Just chiming in, I had a decent quality Class 10 (Lexar) and it sucked for any application that did caching to it (decent amount of them). I'm much much happier with my Sandisk class 4. Random access small file performance is MUCH better. No lag
So, went into a local store that happened to be franchised to look at the Padfone X. The girl tried to tell me the phone was $300 and the station was an *additional* $300. I tried to tell her that its 200 for both but she wasn't having any of it. She also tried to tell me its a piece of junk yet they didn't have either a working demo (only a hunk of plastic shell) or any in stock, yet she knows its a piece of junk...right...and I thought sales people werent supposed to bash the products they sell.
Clearly from all the video reviews, they come together in the same box, so this particular franchise chain of AT&T stores are ran by idiots. I think I'm going to stick to corporate stores from now on.

Tell her you know a close relative of hers. They informed you that her kids stink.
Ask her if the iPhone is better
... if the answer is yes , squat In front of her .

Just so you know.. If you went to an Authorized retailer, they ARE NOT ATT PEOPLE. They are not even trained by ATT. Please correct your title.

The big orange sign out front said AT&T. I don't go to a McDonalds and have to argue about what goes on a Big Mac.
Don't go to authorized retailers. Stick with the cor stores. You will be much better off

I went to a corporate store and the guy knew less about the padfone than I did. They also had no working model available and none to buy outright. Yeah, stupid AT&T is right.

I have a corporate store near a Best Buy. The people at that store know their stuff, but sometimes Best Buy has a better out the door price.
This ATT store new all about the Padfone X, had a working model and could barely keep them on the shelves.
FYI, authorized dealers are in fact trained by at&t. I have worked for both COR and Dealer. There is really no difference in training.
I will say that it is entirely possible to run into idiots at any cell phone store. I have worked along side people who have NO idea what they are talking about.
Either way, when I hire new reps, If they are not tech savvy enough to know what they are talking about and cannot learn what they need to in a reasonable amount of time I promote them to customer very quickly.

Thread going nowhere...more of an Off Topic thing at this point...
I bought the V10 from t-mobile on November 21st. I accepted that I had missed the 200gb promo bundle that ended on November 15th. Today, I see that if you buy a V10 between November 30th and December 20th, you get a free 64gb sd card, extra battery, and charging cradle. I called LG and asked them if they could at least include me in the new promo because I could simply return the phone and buy it again to get the free stuff. The woman on the phone was very nice, and told me that I was the third person today that called about this. Still she said that there was nothing she could do. Has anyone else had any luck?
Tweet them. They will do it. I did on LG G4 and was able to grab 128 gb card and battery with charger even when i bought outside promotional period.
Just tweeted them. I will post the results here.
For faster process, I would do online submission anyway, get submission #, THEN call them for their blessing. That's what I would do..
I got mine on the 16th I might try too

It depends on do you afford the restocking fee.
Backup your data and do factory reset, and return it, and get another which will make you eligible for this memory card + battery promo.

LG Electronics.. @lgus
I didn't get a response either. I tweeted @lguSAMobile.
Either way, it went nowhere
You can always buy mine lol or at least the SD
It's more the principle of the thing. Technically, we're not entitled to it, but it is a stupid thing to anger an arbitrary subset of your customers shortly after launching a new phone. The phone is great, but I still feel a bit cheated.
I think they did it around black Friday mainly so others don't feel cheated either. The first people to get the phone got the battery/200gb SD. Then after that you have $100 off including all the deals from black Friday, and now you can still get the $100 holiday promo from LG but you only have the battery+ 64gb SD card.
Granted what you could try is taking your phone back to the store, say something is wrong with it and just ask for an exchange. GPS issue, or something "intermittent" happening, etc and ask foot a new receipt for your records. Just back up your stuff first if you want to try.
The person that I just talked to at LG said that they are working on something for those of us who bought the phone between promotions. It may be a line of B.S. but there's hope.

dude dsame got mine on 27th missed 64gb and 200gb....
I just want the battery and charger
lol,I can't even sell mine (nobody locally has v10's) I went back to note
Anyone hear of any update on what they might have been working on for those of us who got caught between the two promotions?
