I am in disbelief, but then o2 is soooo disjointed it's possible!. One hand doesn't know what the others doing :wink: enjoy it anyhow, lucky sod!
I saw that same info on business site, but when I called the rep told me that you could noe order so I gave up... :evil: NOW I AM JUST FREAKING MADDDD! :wink: oh well, I guess it was not my luck today...Hey fanacreonte2804, maybe you can buy one for me sesing you're the MAN?
Well played.
Post pics when it arrives. Trying to decide whether it's worth selling my JasJar and getting an O2 Exec on contract.

So i'm confused. Do you have one in your hands, or is it 'on the way'?
Called the non-web based o2 Contract line (0870 5860860) 3 times yesterday and kept getting told to ring back. This morning I have been told that the date has been put back to Monday 3 October 2005.
What makes me think that any domestic stock has been redirected to the business side of things :evil:
Spoke To O2 Last Night on Normal Custoer Services and they say it is now available
Just rung the number shown above, 402 select, business o2 and all say 3rd October and not before.
What number did you try?
Just spoke to contract services, and no, its not available till 3rd, and its not on system. He did admit somebody had spotted it on the website but says he doubts that if they ordered it they will get it before anyone ordering next week and possibly will need to re-order.
Looks like we all need to wait.
Oh, and just to make sure I get it first, O2 said it was delayed by a month and for NONE OF YOU to call untill November ok?
I have just put the phone down from O2 Marketing Director. Sadly, the XDA Exec's were involved in a fatal accident and therefore will not be available until 1st December.
For more information ring O2 Mid October for an update.
LOL... just kidding
Got tired of all the major network providers mucking me & the rest of us about. My wife agreed to me finally buying a JasJar in Tottenham Court road today at Inkino Ltd. They really are a nice set of people and very professional. They certainly will get my recommendation!
Just charging my new toy :lol: It's actually much more appealing to the eye than any photo I've seen of it. Well, there's undoubtedly nothing for me to report as you've all read the posts in this forum, but I will share solutions to problems encountered, as I come across them. Thanks to Xda developers, I feel well prepared and well informed. Thanks to all of you. & Thanks to my wife for putting up with my technoholic tendancies 8) Well she has ended up with my i-mate jam after all and is thoroughly loving it!
Im afraid if I spent that much on the JasJar my wife would go into premature labour (after killing me), so i have no choice but to wait for the major carriers.
I may end up getting two and selling one to these eager US people who cant get it as im due an upgrade for wifes tarif as well as taking out new one for me.
Looks like ill get one on o2 upgrade, then take out the T-mobile 100meg data tarif with the Universal as the phone.
Still at least a week to wait, but hell, if it was nokia it would be 6 months more, be obsolete when it was released and anyone that bought it would be ****** off at the fact 4 days later nokia release a better "i" version for less money.
The actual story of what happened with o2 (because I went through the same thing on Monday) is, according to the business Supervisor:
On Mon 26 Sep it was released by their I.T. department onto the business site by mistake.
Thousands of customers ordered it through the site and from the phone line who had taken this to mean it was available.
Once the mistake was realised, the person responsible in I.T. was fired and all orders stopped. Mine was in fact cancelled by them, without them telling me.
I was out and about today so decided to pop in to a few mobile phone shops and see what the story 'out on the street' was.
Vodafone
Never heard of the Universal or any of its derivatives.
O2
Got a new (October) catalogue out with the Exec listed at £150 on a 200 min contract. Expecting stock 'sometime this month'. Video calls on 3G will now be chargeable (to other networks) and data prices are now higher.
Orange
Had a dummy phone in store! Didn't know anything about availability or price though. In fact, had never seen it before.
So, there you go. Another week...
Some T-Mobile stores also have the dummy phone. It fits nicely in a front jeans pocket, and isn't as heavy as I expected! Also the keyboard is quite usable, even with my larger than average fingers!
And you know what they say about men with large fingers...
hey can u post the ext rom on ftp???

After finally holding one in my hand today I must admit how much smaller and better built it was than what I was expecting. All this fuss about it being too big - rubbish says I!
The o2.co.uk Website has moved the XDAi & XDAs to the end of the phones webpage leaving a nice little gap for the third in the current range on Monday???
XDA Exec Mobiles4everyone.com
Still no sign this am on O2 but Mobiles4everyone are offering Execs - whether or not for imediate delivery I don't yet know. Others are offering too. Cheers, Derek
That's great, and I like the pricing too.
But I can't find any of the other places you mention.
Let's try and get a list going here of:
* The best deals
* Those who have it in stock and offer quick delivery
I got a call from At&T about a problem porting my number from Verizon (yes I am making the switch back). I mentioned they could not port yet as I don't have a phone because it is on pre-order. Cust Service said that I would be receiving it in a couple of days. I got the call yesterday so i am hoping to have my shiny new Atrix tomorrow or the next day.
Could be Cust Service has no idea what they are talking about but you can only hope
If that is the case I might pre order through att instead of best buy then...

Moved to general as not android development

Well, what's the word? Have you received it yet?

Early early release
I got an email confirming the rumors of the Atrix being shipped on the 22nd!!! Read below.

Hello everyone. I'm new to this section of XDA - I've had a Captivate for some time (4 of them actually) and have been quite dissapointed at times with it. Overall a great phone, but lots of un-necessary issues (imo) I just pre-ordered the Atrix 4G today and was told I could recieve it within the next 7-10 days at the soonest... I really cant wait to see what the devs here on XDA will cook up for this killer phone (based on specs). If the dev support is anything at all like it is for the Captivate - this is gonna be a great ride with the Atrix 4G
I am hoping we get alot of captivate devs to switch. I know there is a good chance that the bootloader will be encrypted, and that might keep the ROM chefs away, but I really hope we find away around it. i am going to be submitting as much of my capabilities to the effort, but I am new to android. I have done a small amount of program development on iOS with jailbreaks. so hopefully I can help.
Also, as I have said before, Devs are the lifeblood of these phones, and I am willing to put my money out there as a substitute for my experience. I am willing to help any motivated devs by donating $20-$40. Hopefully we can get a rich community surrounding the phone. that way when i am still using it 18 months down the road, I will still be happy with it.
I didn't get that email at all and I preordered on Sunday morning when the preorder option first popped up. I did get my confirmation email right after preordering and another email today ( 17th) , but not the one you have. Am I still going to get my atrix on the 22nd? Or did something get messed up?

I freaking hope so...it's my birthday! lol
I just received shipped email and it is showing delivery by 3pm on 2/21.
When I did the checkout on the AT&T site it told me it's scheduled to be delivered on or before March 6th... if people are getting them as early as the 21 or 22 I sure as hell hope mine arrives around that time as well.
tracking attached.....
does anyone know if the package will require signature? i may have to leave work early to be sure i'm home for this bad boy if that's the case.
Usually says if the signature is required or not for the tracking information, so it looks like no signature required.

I'd be seriously pissed if FedEx left it on the porch without signature and it got stolen after waiting for this phone. Good thing it's a holiday and I'm working from home all day!
I opted to have mine shipped to the att store - just incase i wouldnt be home when FedEx showed up. This way i dont have to worry about it being left on the front step and sitting there

You know, I was looking for that option and didn't see anything about it. Where was this option during online pre-ordering to have it shipped to a specific store? Maybe next time I pre-order I'll be able to do this.

I didn't see it either. But most likely, you could simply call after placing the order, and have the CSR make the change for you.
Me:Hello, The Xperia Arc launches on the 28th, I was wondering if it will come in a Silver color as well? Or only black/blue?
Rogers:Dear Sir/Madam,
Thank you for taking the time to write to us, we appreciate your use of online customer service.

We would ask that you continue to check www.rogers.com periodically for launch dates of our upcoming wireless devices.

...but we won't answer you question but put some generic replay template and send it to you.
It OK! they may sell it and reveal it after launch on 28th. it may be exclusively to best buy? here in the US this is what would happen. any other color goes to Best Buy.
We will see.
i just asked the same question over at redboard.rogers.com, just waiting for a reply now.
6 more days til launch
Rogers' Customer Support E-mail service never actually helps you with anything as far as my experience goes with them. I'd try calling the customer service and see if they fare any better, but if not, release is just around the corner anyways...
How do you guys know for sure it launches April 28th on Rogers? I heard from a rep its May 2nd.. but not sure if he knew 100% either
Bah at least you got an answer....
I think i subscribed 3 times already to their pre order thing ( yes great programming there.... ) and never got the call on the week of the 15th or anything since then
Plus I called the Customer Relation departement two , three times to see if the reason I wasnt contacted was because I'm not eligible to an upgrade and couldnt get a stupid answer...
They won't even speak of pricing or anything , even less release date, even tho Rogers officially announced it.
The only bit of information that I managed to get was:
"It is launching before May"
So i doubt the may 2nd date is valid =|
well if it helps confirm that its the 28th, i pre-ordered mine from a sony style store and they are getting it for sure on the 28th, which would mean rogers will as well.
i had a chance to play with it in store the other day, man is it fast! i had an iphone 4 and an atrix prior and to be honest i see no difference in speed between dual cores and single cores. maybe a second or two delay in opening heavier applications but thats about it. either way, cannot wait till thursday
Hi there,
I've found so much useful info here I thought I would join the forum to hopefully pay something back.
Carphone Warehouse DO have the bundle in stock today (Tuesday 10th). I'm not relying on the website - I've spoken to them. If you are placing an order I'd recomment phoning them and getting them to check the bundle is still in stock (not just the tablet).
they have previously shown 'in stock' on their website when they didn't have any, so I made a complaint to them and kicked up huge fuss. they got mixed up over the tablet and the bundle stock levels, so promised to call me when the bundle was definitely available. They called at 10 this morning, but I've had to wait until lunch time to be able to post this.
I'm having mine delivered to store - hopefully collecting tomorrow .
I'm not at all a developer - just someone who likes what her gadgets can do for her, so I'm not sure I'll get a chance to help out any other way. I hope someone gets their bundle from this. Thanks to those of you who are making useful contributions that us lurkers get benefit from!
Maddi
PS - when making my complaint CPW told me to just buy the tablet and then get the keyboard separately. the sales guy said "I mean, what will it be - £20. "£30". He was so proud of himself he told me he'd convinced a few people to do that just that very day. Given CPW aren't selling the £100 keyboard separately, and WONT split the bundles because of 'systems issues' there will be some annoyed people out there with very little redress. Don't believe the sales hype!
Hi Maddi,
How wonderful to see another woman here and how nice of you to register to try to give useful info to the community.
I also love my gadgets and even though I'm not not a developer either (yet folks like us can be really helpful to the dev's so welcome to the forums !
Btw, I'm from across the pond, Boston to be exact, you might remember us?
Spoke to Lasksys Friday
I phoned Laskys last Friday and they said they would have stock today and had an update on delivery on Monday now for Friday - However EBuyer had 22 now its back to 1st June like Amazon - I think they may have sold 22 combo units in 15 from a Facebook posting!!! Looks like the linited stock are going like hot cakes!!!
Well well GadgetMaddi, thanks 4 that, got mine for delivery tomorrow from Carphonewarehouse, the last one of 3 they had! Can't wait....
Well done Dr Cropper. didn't realise they had so few - glad I warned people to phone. here's hoping they turn up on time. Don't think I'll sleep properly tonight!
Hi Geekbabe, thanks for the welcome. Feels a bit wrong I'm drinking a cuppa while chatting to a Bostonian So far my only experience of Boston was being whisked in and out of the airport on a business trip to Connecticut. Looked beautiful though! It's definitely on the list for a proper visit when I get my next passport (there's a boring story - it ends with the US changing the rules and I can't get in with my current passport unless I go through a nightmare visa process, so can't wait until I get my new passport next year).
I shall take your words to heart and stick around on the forum for a while.
Are you trying to get your hands on a transformer too?
Delivery Confirmed by Laskys
"Dear Mr ***** ********,
Thank you for your email.
Please can I advise that your delivery will be made on 13/05/11 between the hours of 07:00AM-18:00PM and will be delivered by Parcel Force I hope that this is satisfactory for you.
Kind Regards,
Steven Lawrie
Laskys Customer Care"
Result!
well done!
shall we check in tomorrow and see whether we got our transformers on time.
(I nearly said, "shall we three meet again". maybe not....!)
Hey gang,
Dual-posting what I told the folks over at Android Central.
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but with Sprint severely lacking in communicating any information to us, I figured you would like to hear what I was told.
I received a call today from Anthony Spoon in the Sprint executive offices. I had sent an email to the executives of Sprint offering suggestions on how they could have better handled all of this. More or less just stated it wasn't important when the phone was going to be delivered, but the severe lack of information was ridiculous and unnecessary. To be honest I was surprised I was called.
Anyway, Anthony told me all of the information they have received is pointing to next week for the 32GB phones to be sent out. I kind of laughed a little and asked why in the heck next week looked any better/worse than this week. I said, "Why should you expect to get them next week and not the week after, or later?" He claimed that this was the information they received from Samsung so that was the message they were passing along. I told him thanks for the information but they really needed to make that official and not wait until Friday before passing that along.
So take it for what it's worth but I would stop spamming your refresh button on the myorder page. ;-)
