Anyone find out what colors are going to be in store? B/W I'm assuming.

@Gr8Danes Not sure about the colors but i know they won't have 32GB in store. What color do you want?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk

@barondebxl either blue or black. Wouldn't be too fond of the bandaid gold.

Whats the deal with the colors?
All of the ones so far I have seen up for pre-order are either Black or White.
Anyone know when the other colors will be available?
I like the blue color the best.

So, T-Mobile will have the 32GB available for pre-order? I skipped on the AT&T one since 16GB was the only option.

They did say they will have the 32 online but didn't specify for the pre order or not.

so who is pre-ordering with tonight?

Up on their site
Only Black and White available.
I am holding off to see when the Blue one becomes available.

Would like to say, called T-Mobile today asking when I can jump. She said this month. Then, I asked how much would the S5 cost to jump too, she said $300 deposit, $15 a month. Pretty expensive for a jump. She said that's the standard price as of now. Did not ask for the full price

She wasn't allowed to reveal that much. But if you're planning on jumping, do it in store since it'll go by a lot faster. I doubt they're going to sell out, so pre order is not needed

I'm not pre-ordering a darn thing until I find out whether it's got a locked boot loader or not.
If not, then I'm leaving AT&T [and my grandfathered-in unlimited data plan] who definitely has the locked boot loader.

Was a nice surprise for me when it came up for me as 0$ down and 27$ a month.
The locked bootloader might not be too much of an issue but would be annoying if it is.
With them not lockinng down the S4 or the note with the recent updates I am hoping this one wont be locked.
I guess we will find out on the 11th

That's more tolerable than $300...but still a rip-off considering there's still no ICS for it.

$250 or $300 is still a rip off weather it has ICS or not! Beside the way ics has been on other devices and from some reviews I don't really think its gonna be anything spectacular. Gonna be another "I waited this long for this?!" Type of deal. I really don't think its gonna be much of a game changer

If you have unlimited data Amazon will not grandfather you in.
What's the catch? Do I need to be a AT&T customer? Sign a contract? It can't be $250 outright with no strings attached.

Lol comments like these are dumb. Rip off? Like you can find a gnote for cheaper? Unlike your cheap arse, SOME of us are willing to spend that amount for a phone. ICS? please...theres no official high end ICS US phone besides the gnexus thats out yet. Idiots think a phone isnt "worth" or it lacks because it doesnt have ICS. Heres some news for ya...some of us actually like/enjoy GB. Go get a F'in clue.
-On another NOTE, Samsung goes 5.3"
The 16GB is internal memory. It doesnt come with an actual micro SD card.

Well there are two options for you. people have good reviews for both expansys-USA.com and for negrielectronics.com
You also have option to import from UK from websites like clove.co.uk
All these above websites will have atleast two weeks of lead time due to tons of pre orders. Average cost its just under seven hundred bucks.
If you want to spend some extra money you can get it from Ebay as well. Average cost here is about right hundred.

Picked up my HTC ONE from my local AT&T today!

Just a heads up. My local AT&T store sold me a htc one this morning. Might be worth calling your local store to see if they will also sell the phone early. I plan on trying to unlock the phone tonight on htcdev. I'll let you know if I have an success.

Ah, I got it shipped to the store, but yeah.
I work in a retail mall and have let's just say very close friends that work in the At&t store and I got shut down today as well. Although my store also told me they only got enough in to cover their displays. They may have sold one to me if they had extras. I pre-ordered one also about 1 week or so ago. Can't wait to get it. The demo was awesome, I'm going to love it I think.
Stores shouldn't be selling them yet. Op must have caught someone slipping. I'm an rsm in the greater Orlando area and we aren't allowed to sell till the 19th

Just pre-ordered at a local small AT&T store and paid for the 64GB version, will be shipped to my house on the 16th, Tuesday, (they said store or home, I chose home)

FYI, even on AT&T's website, you can order it for shipment on the 16th as well.

Htc one only $169.00 on walmart

http://wireless.walmart.com/content/finder/?oem=208&referringdomain=wm&oflag=specialoffer
I posted this on the costco page. Its a good deal but we don't know their supplies so it could be a while. It just says it will ship when available.
Last year Walmart had the GS2 (i777) in stock on release day. Incidentally I'll buy there on the 5/3 when my upgrade eligibility returns.
Just make sure to stop by an AT&T store after and have someone check your account if you're trying to keep unlimited data.

just as a heads up if you call at&t they will probably allow you to upgrade early. My upgrade was not available until May 8th and they told me I can upgrade. You will have to wait until Friday when the phone is released because they can't do preorders
Wal-Mart associate here. Good luck getting any new release phone. They are shipped my manufacturer at will and we cannot order them. Also replenishable stock on contract phones is almost non existant. I would have purchased mine from my employer early but the stock is just not there and never is. Wait a few weeks.

Because they get incentives from carriers for new contracts and renewals which they can pass on in the form of device discounts.
Does Walmart charge your card at the time of purchase or when it ships?

After much contemplating, I went ahead and purchased G2 from bestbuy. You really couldn't beat that price with gift card.
Tri band LTE was a big factor as well as Note 3's inability to use it as it's primary function. As a phone.
I feel like I'm downgrading as screen is getting smaller but hopefully I will be proven wrong by this phone.
Very much looking forward to it and I hope to receive email like the OP here and receive it early.

I was in your same situation. A two-year commitment to the Note 3's lack of Tri band LTE was a deal breaker. Pre-ordered through best-buy for essentially $57 with the giftcard.
I think I'd enjoy faster LTE speeds and coverage moreso than 0.5 more inches of screen space. Hopefully the LG G2 will hold it's value to make buying the note 4 doable next year.
