Hey guys, Just wanted to let everyone know, I dropped by the T-mobile store ( USA ) today to ask around and see if anybody there knew about the G2 ( MyTouch, What tmobile will be calling it when released. )
Unlike many of the rumors according to online sources, it is in fact, coming to T-mobile only. Thats right, T-mobile is the only company to get the badass phone xD!
I asked a buddy of mine that worked there about release dates and other cool new things coming for T-mobile users. He told me the G2 (MyTouch) is scheduled to be released mid/late of next month. Yep, in August. And that they had a manager down in San antonio Texas, training on the phone as we speak. I will be going back tomorrow when he gets back in town, and get all the juicy details and post them here! ( And if he lets me, some pictures ) And also we have another goody coming to us, Were aren't at 3g JUST quite yet. But August 1st, We will be getting EDGE everywhere on the T-mobile network. That was guaranteed from the store manager there. And 3G will be coming for us, sometime around december of this year. ( 3G everywhere ) not just in metro areas. ( Hurray for all the country people....IE....me )
Now I know this isn't an official saying or whatever. I don't have links, and I don't have sources you guys know and trust. But I do trust buddies of mine and the people that work at this T-mobile store. They haven't let me down yet. So, I guess we can only wait and see if it does come to T-mobile only.
Like someone said though, and I totally agree. T-mobile would be complete idiots to let this phone go to someone else. If it was to happen. There not dumb. So hurray for t-mobile users. We should have our brand new MyTouch at the end of August. So we don't have to wait to much longer guys!

If you go to the T-mobile myTouch website it has a countdown timer. It says 20 days and some change. Also lets you see all the info and features of it.
Of course it will be the same thing as the HTC Magic on Vodafone and Rogers...
Exactly. Seems like tmobile is actually the LAST to be getting it....
In fact, Im getting a vodafone magic shipped to me tomorrow. I have at&t, and I will have it before T-mobile!
lol i double checked the date when he posted pre-sale is already done too it started july 7th and from my confirmation mine should arrive aug 3rd
Oh and welcome to the forums

I love how on all their promotions they are quick to include " super fast 3G" network. Here in Jacksonville, Fl. it will be 2012 be fore we get 3g. By then eveyone else will have 4 or 5g. I am really starting to hate Tmobile.
But phone looks great. I think I will stick with my G1. I like the real keyboard, just me though.

seriously? the presale started july 8. the preorders are being shipped at the beginning of august. these two things have been known and officially announced facts for at least a month now.
but the other guys are quite correct, the same phone has been out on the european market since at least the first week of may.
by the way, confirming all of this would have been as simple as checking the t-mobile website.

But then he couldn' have got " all the juicy details and post them here!"....
-bZj
go to any local T-mobile store. they were all issued 3-4 phones to show customers one of each color at least. The packaging is really nice also. leather bag with a nice cloth sack, and nice headphones and usb/charger
"badass" phone? Yeah... with a whopping 192mb of RAM as opposed to the 288 the rest of the planet gets. Badass indeed.
I'm over the MyTouch 3G. I went ahead and bought a used G1 and am saving my upgrade till later this year, early next year till T-mo gets a better Android phone. When I mentioned this to the rep adding my data plan, he implied that as a fellow phone geek, I was doing the right thing and that while he couldn't give details, I would be very happy with what's in the pipeline.
between the four major us carriers, 15-20 android devices are to be released in the next year. so far only three of those are slated for carriers other than TMO. so yes, you'll be happy with whats coming down the pipe.

I'm just curious what details you guys (in US) are being told when you visit the store and ask about HD2.
I dropped in today and I was today there was no demo unit in the store and probably none in the other (5) stores in the area. The guy said it would show up next week and then he checked his BB and said it would be on the 20th/Saturday. I didn't mention to him about the 24th since they seemed busy and I didn't want to take up his time.
wait until tomorrow.... they are gonna have some sort of an announcement on the 16th...and apparently all the media ppl are invited so .... definitely tomorrow they will have a working demo of the phone....

I was referring to the release date for sale at T-Mobile of the HD2. Not about WP7s.
http://www.tmonews.com/ has the picture of the actual T-Mobile sign for pricing. So that's pretty official now.
$449.99 or $199.99 with 2yr contract.

He's talkinh about super-secretive, super-selective pre-launch announcement T-Mobile is hosting for selected press on 16th.
This is HD2 announcement and could be anything from the device's future or release date and blah blag blah.

Good luck! Tmo reps have the final training seminar done by now. That means devices are rrady to go. Just need a release date.
The launch event in metro atlanta was last week.
HTC had a launch event last week for the HD2 and everyone that attended got an HD2. I covered my manager's shift because he was going, I was a little jealous when he came in with one. If you are lucky there are a few employees who have the phone now, but the stores did not have working demo units. My store just got our dummy display model. Usually live demo phones show up about a week before launch. The 24th release date looks to be official but they have not updated the systems yet (still showing TBA) but there is a big media event 3/16.

A rep I talked to today told me 22nd.
Jerks for jerking me around.
It's up on their web site now http://www.t-mobile.com/shop/phones/Cell-Phone-Detail.aspx?cell-phone=HTC-HD2 Coming soon!
keep your mony guys go for android or wait for the htc supersonic
I stopped by a tmob store two weeks ago to ask about the hd2 and was suprized when two of the employees already had them. They told me they were not suppose to show anyone until the release date was set, but let me play around with one. It is the most solid phone I have ever held. Since I have been following this phone before it had the hd2 name, most things were not a suprize. It is big, sleek, runs smooth, and has a great screen. He told me 24th and 199 price with contract. Also he told me that there were MS employees at their meeting and that they had brought up wmp7s and MS said it was a no for the hd2 due to 3 button issue.
Another thing I saw, rumors of 23rd from a mobitv tweet, and then people saying that was the day it was going active. The rep showed me the mobitv on the phone and it was already working.
This is such a hardware powerhouse, I cannot pass it up, even though I have become a die hard android fan. I have faith in XDA for android and wmp7s roms/boots/ports and its not like the sense UI with wm 6.5 is that much of a slouch.

It's been up since last week. I keep refreshing the page hoping the words "Coming Soon" change to "Add to Cart" LOL.
Last Friday, the 12th.
We were in a store in Plano.....where Frito's are born.
Near Dallas. Paying our bill and I got to talking
to the rep about the phone and he opens up
the drawer and lo and behold! there it is!!
Got to handle it and, even though the screen is huge
it really fits in you hand well...Probably due to how
thin it is...Cannot get over how Transformers looked
on the screen...Blows even my iphone away!!
My fiance, who is stil using a BB curve wants one also now.
Good thing I got a good tax return...lol
I'm going to be waiting outside the store on the 24th.
It will feel to me like waiting for the toy store to open...!
Shame about the T-Mobile logo stamped on the phone...

Yup and it makes it longer.
Just in case you really need to know. June 19th is when tmo anounces the slide through commercials and they r having a father's day special event they r going to announce too. Not as big a deal as everyone thinks.
So why are they opening 2 hours early,and where the heck is my froyo,tmo rep told mewe'de have it on launch,I need apps2sd,my phone is outta storage,i'm going to curse someone at tmobile out.htc and google should have never let tmobile have any say in this device cause they oveloaded it with bull**** you cant delete,im so friggin angry,I just want control over my phone and nobody can even root it,AGGGHHHHH!!! Sorry just had to get that out.
I think you've let it out in everyone of your post in the Slide section.. I'm sure your 14 day return period isn't up. RETURN IT.
A friend of mine who works for TMO told me that they are rolling out a new store design. They've had several of the concept stores open in certain test markets for almost 3 years. I worked for them when they were planning these interactive and user friendly stores with video tech support on site.
While I think it's cool and all, I'm more interested in them improving network service and offering phones that aren't outdated the moment you slip your SIM in.

all i have to say that is if a Tmo rep told you froyo would be ready when the phone comes out, promptly insert your foot in his a** with EXTREME prejudice!!
Dispite contrary belief, not all T-Mo reps know every single thing that T-mobile is up to. Some of us actualy have a life outside of work. Also, we are not all out to give everyone the shaft. Some of us realy try to help people the best we can. I get chewed out quiet often for going "too far".

As donepate stated, you are speaking to another human, NOT T-mobile as an object. If that rep heard a rumor online he could have easily passed it along to you. Thats why unless there is OFFICIAL news from T-mobile you should always take information about upcoming releases of updates/phones with a grain of salt. Typically T-mobile employees know about the official launches barely before they launch to avoid any leaked information and or upsets if deadlines aren't met.
If you've read the official HTC comments however you will know that its stated to have FROYO within a number of 2010 Android phones within the year of 2010. That is as specific as it gets however.

never listen to t-mobile reps they no nothing
Official release date for the slide is the 16th. They have not even told the reps much. It could be lower prices for a day, a giveaway in the stores, or the planets may be comming into alignment. Its all guesses for now. I am fairley sure that its slide related in some way though. Just have no idea what it is. If I get any info i'll pass it along.

I believe the buyers remorse period will still be 14 days. That's what I am getting.
I keep reading "Official" release date is the 19th, but I simply walked up to my local store and bought it last week... are you using the term "officially" as a moment to define when they'll "advertise" it...?
They have a soft launch (June 2nd) and a hard launch which, shown to me on the computer from a t-mobile rep, is the 16th not 19th
According to TmoNews.com it's going to be a Father's Day sale with all phones free
They are going to announce the Galaxy S on the 19th. The Galaxy S will go on sale sometime in July ... just got that from a VERY reliable Tmobile source. I'm probably going to be sending the slide back ... my G1 will tide me over till the Galaxy comes around.

Hopefully the UK release means we here in the US aren't far behind.
It's dumb they're doing it through Kies, hopefully US will get OTA
Someone posted on.. I think it was Android Central that ( "I heard from this guy..") a T-Mo rep at store had showed him an email regarding "a huge update" that was coming to the Vibrant on the 15th. It's one of those things again, but hopefully it's true.
Well I happened to be in a TMO store today (got my son the LG Optimus T) and not one of the reps there had any freaking clue and all three of them had Vibrants in their pockets. So if the TMO reps who actually use the phone and want updates themselves are saying they have no info, then this is the one time I actually believe them.

The reps do not know anything at all. I remember about 3 weeks ago, I asked one at the mall (offical kiosk, not a reseller) if he knew t-mobile was going to come out with a cheap data plan like AT&T and he said he had no idea. Well, t-mobile has come out with a tiered data plan and just reinforces the fact that t-mobile reps know absolutely NOTHING. Their guess is as good as yours and mine.

I'd like to think its legit, but there seem to be so many people pulling hoaxes these days for attention. On a positive note, I've gotten a lot of at&t phones on launch day, and I'm pretty sure 1 or 2 wasn't on a Sunday.

True true. Everyone wants to make a picture that shows up in the news. This one looks no more legit than the last.
Which means AT&T has 6 days to fix this backorder issue, or preorders are going to get screwed.
People will walk in-store and grab theirs, while we wait at the mailbox for our preorders.

I work for AT&T, I haven't seen that message that is going around about early release yet but it looks legit. It mentions internal systems that we use and we have all the price tags up in store. It's rare for use to put a spot on the wall for a phone that is several weeks out.

its been years since i've posted on XDA back when I had my HTC Fuze. Moved onto a Moto Droid 1. I am getting this phone the day it comes out! i hop ethis rumor is true.

Thanks for the post!
Message seems legit, though I haven't seen this email passed amongst the ranks of store employees yet. That would be very awesome if it comes to be true, I can't take another day of my Samsung Moment and Sprint's poor coverage where I live.
The wife and I have our upgrades on the 26th, I hope you guys have a chance to wring this thing out for 4 days before we go get ours.
Holy crap I hope this is true. I am about to throw my Fuze out of window
I didn't realize how many of us are still clinging to our fuzes.
It also looks like they finally fixed the Premiere store for people wanting upgrades. Yesterday it would only let me upgrade to an iPhone (any variety) and some crappy Nokia. This morning it allowed me to upgrade to anything.
Here's to hoping that it really is the 22nd!
Oh, and anyone want an ATT Nexus One?

The US release of the Galaxy Note Edge is a complete mess. No one seems to know when the phone is due to come out. Not sure where those press releases came from last week but they seem to be wrong. I just came from an AT&T store and they have no clue when they will be getting the phone. I called every Besy Buy in Milwaukee and they don't have a clue either. I have Verizon and it hasn't even passed to FCC for Verizon yet. What is the deal with the phone? If they are having issues manufacturing the phone then just say so and push the date back. They announced the phone back in September and there is just as much uncertainty now as there was two months ago. Looks like I'm just gonna stick with the Note 4 and then just wait for the HTC M9 to come out next year.

The 14th has been the date so we will find out this friday.
The people at these stores are told to not tell customers when new phones are coming out because they want you to buy a phone right then and there so that after you do buy it you can be mad at yourself for not waiting and then spend more money on buying another new phone.
I was talking to a TMO rep last week about the 14th date and she went out of her way to make sure I understood she was saying she had no confirmation of the phone being released on the 14th even after she slipped and told me that she wasnt sure if they were doing pre-orders.
Tmobile's website also lists the 14th as a date.
https://explore.t-mobile.com/samsung-galaxy-note-edge
There is a chance that some of the reps you were talking to did not know about the new phone coming out and really were telling you the truth, but more than likely they're just lying because thats what they're instructed to do.

The people at these stores are told to not tell customers when new phones are coming out because they want you to buy a phone right then and there so that after you do buy it you can be mad at yourself for not waiting and then spend more money on buying another new phone.
I was talking to a TMO rep last week about the 14th date and she went out of her way to make sure I understood she was saying she had no confirmation of the phone being released on the 14th even after she slipped and told me that she wasnt sure if they were doing pre-orders.
Tmobile's website also lists the 14th as a date.

That may be the case at some stores but when the Note 4 was coming out Best Buy was able to say it would be in on 10/17. I bought the Droid Turbo two weeks ago and I was in the Verizon store a few days before it was released and they even pulled out their store display model and let me hold it. And not to mention you could pre-order the Note 4 on all 4 major US carriers once they announced the release date. I still keep seeing websites saying it'll be out on the 14th on all the major US carriers and I find that hard to believe especially when the Verizon model never passed thru FCC.

To tell the truth i have heard nothing about Verizon and the Note edge it has all been Tmobile and ATT. There has been small word on the Sprint one but not much.
Its possible that they dont have a confirmed date yet. There was a user that posted a screen shot of them saying something about the 14th or 17th.
All i know is there is no fussin until Friday the 14th lol....
But really we just gotta wait and see.
I believe samsung didnt push this phone as much as they should ,but samsung does suck at getting the word out there before the device is out.
We have a few more days and we will see what happens.
In the Sprint newsroom section it does say the 14th. However, I did chat with a Sprint rep earlier and they acted like they didn't know about it.
i emailed 2 bestbuy about pre-order att note edge.
1 bestbuy told me "it not out yet".
the other bestbuy said "we dont sell note edge, try bestbuy.com "
To tell the truth, I think that none of the basic people know anything.
With the leak image from tmobile. I bet that was only sent to the head people as the head stores.
While everyone else just works there and looks up everything on the system. Which the system hasnt updated yet since the phones havent been scan in.
I do remember doing an online chat before they confirmed the 14th date, and no one could give me anything. After they confirm the date the online chat people where able to tell me that it came out the 14th but nothing more
This is just my guess tho. But i have seen this happen before with other items. No one knows anything because they havent gotten that email in there in box. While the main people know but basically cant say much.
But we will see what happens on the 14th. I am hopping to be able to just walk into the corporate store at 10am Friday and pick up a white one, but i dont know. All i know is ill be refreshing the page daily as i do now, and just waiting. There isnt anything else we can do about this.
My tmo rep told me they are not doing preorder add it is unknown how many the does were getting out when they were coming in. They did say release is 14th and to call the evening before to see if they have them in stock.
