Most UK online stores have stock

Ordered mine today should be with me soon.
Although once the misses finds out i'm done for!!

Yes me too. Got mine from devicewire (still have about 60 in stock if anyone wants one), but then due to a misunderstanding with Clove found out that they are also sending me one out and have already charged my card! Not sure if its coming tomorrow as well, if not I'm hoping I can cancel. I'm not even sure I can afford to go home and be killed by my missus. Still, what she doesnt know wont hurt her. Just need to sell my eee pc and HTC S730 that I bought last week now.

So Clove actually have stock now? They haven't updated their website.
Time to dig out the credit card - I'm also gonna get in trouble for this with the wife...

Yeah they have stock although not sure if its for people who have already pre-ordered. Devicewire.com do have 60 free stock (available to everyone). Luckily as I work in mobile technology I can claim that my many devices are 'from work'.

I also have two on order, one from clove and one from expansys-usa. I think the clove will get here first and then I can cancel the one from expansys. This will be the second from expansys that I have canceled.

Managed to cancle my Clove one although wish that had come first as it was cheaper.
....Just got a call from reception - theres a box waiting for me! Yipee! Only a year of waiting.. Thats my night sorted...no doubt speak to you lot later!:

Mines turned up as well, except i'm in London, and its at home!!
Misses threw a double wobble as usual, good job I not there really!!
She'll have got over it by tonight.

HTC Shift in a London Store (INKINO again!!!)
Just a quick heads-up. Inkino have their stock in and also have one HTC Shift out on demo. It is better then I expected. Surfing was very quick and they let me try it with my SIM card so that there was no 'smoke and mirrors'. There is a nice protective case in the box too. The actual box looks like a big box of chocolate so sneaking it past the missus should be a breeze....
I witnessed 5 going out of the door whilst I was there so it is safe to say that this is going to be a hugely popular machine. Any voicecall hacks yet??
For those who are not aware, Inkino are at 48 Tottenham Court Road and 9 Great Russell Street in Central London and also at www.inkino.co.uk I have no business connection with these guys apart from being an addicted customer who appreciates the old-school style of service.

Well I just pulled the trigger with Devicewire, should be with me tomorrow.
Let's see if Citylink couriers can mess this delivery up, like they do with most of my Ebuyer purchases.....

MotoCliq contest- Real or fake?

A few weeks ago "Drizzy" sent a link to a few people about a contest regarding motorola/tmobile and winning a MotoCliq. The link was only supposed to be for employees but I googled for the link and found it, did the quizzes, and now 2 weeks later i got an email saying i won a cliq and that it should be in the mail in a few days. Anyone else do this, or are any others here tmob employees that did the quizzes and won?

Sounds like a scam or fake to me. But wait a few days and see if you get it.

How did you get a valid P-Number?

I was told to just make one up, so I did. I was going to ask ppl that worked for tmob for theirs, but I was in a hurry. It never stopped me in the process so I just kept going. Maybe I got lucky and chose a correct one?

OK cool, I just made one up also.
Did you pick a store number in your area, or just a random one?

i picked the one closest to me, but I had to pick one that was an actual "corporate store" not an authorized seller. So Wally World, Best Buy, and Places like CellularOne, or CellBiz, or OneStopCell (i am making up names) dont count as tmob stores.
how long ago did you do the quizzes? i did them like 2 or 3 weeks ago. got the email today that i was a winner and my phone would be in the mail within a week. I wish i could get a shipping confirmation number so I could track it though!

I think that I did it about 2 or 3 weeks ago as well.
Where did you get the store number? Did you just call the store and ask?

i just googled for tmobile stores, went to the site, searched for my zip code. after the store name there is a number, that is the store number i typed in...
here is the page that came up for my zip- http://locator.t-mobile.com/Locator...=0&searchType=storeLocations&SLU=0&EIP=&DBR=5

You dont find it sketchy that you BOTH won phones? lol What are the odds of that

tmobile is the one that hosted the contest. they gave away something like 250 phones per week. for a 4 week contest.

I did it and didnt win anything. It would seem very plausible that tmobile would want to get this phone into the hands of as many employees as possible so they have one and you want one when you walk up. Either way, it you get a phone you know its legit!

yea, im not an employee though lol. oh well, if i get one, i will post here!

im gonna go ahead and say its pretty legit. i just got my UPS shipment confirmation email. should be here at my house in 3 to 4 days (so monday or tuesday)

I never found this link, someone send me the link... Haha, Maybe its over, but it never hurts to try.

for anyone that wants to go ahead and try it...
LINK REMOVED

Awesome. Thanks for the info.

haha i would have redone it until i got a 100 on both. thats what i did!

what did you guys use for the pin/pass?

you make one up and then later on it gives you a new assigned one, save that one and the passcode, you will need it later

EVO Sells Out In-Store & Online

Engadget is reporting that Sprint has sold out on their initial stock of EVO's for their stores and online, and likely BestBuy and The Shack.
Great news eh?
Engadget Link
Sprint Link

Every store in Houston sold out within 15 minutes. I was able to convince a best buy employee to give me some poor other guys preorder...

you must have done some pretty serious convincing...

Checked the Sprint link...
Here was the message
"Sorry, this device is so hot we can't keep it on our virtual shelves.
Check back later - more are on their way!"
Man, I just ordered mine yesterday online and it arrived today (free overnight shipping) ...Phew, that was close!

i had called up 3 different sprint stores and this is what i was told
store 1: sold out, will get new shipment either friday or tuesday
store 2: sold out, taking deposit to reserve one (45 people already on list)
store 3: had few in stock (Silver Spring, MD)

Not sure how I did it to be honest. I'm told I come across as very intimidating.. but I was in no way upset, and understanding of the shortage. Next thing I know I see him go to the locked closet...grab one out of the stack and peel someones name off of it..

Radio shack is the only place in lower NH i could get on a pre-order list. Comes in Friday

Good thing I ordered mine Sunday.. i received it earlier today!

Here in Ohio no better, Went to best buy with my buddy, was quoted as Evo shippment tomorrow and now it's been moved to a nice lovely ambiguous "sometime from wednesday to friday" Here's hoping sooner rather than later but oh well. Here's hoping we can survive the great evo shortage of 2010! (*side note* kinda regretting not pre-ordering sooner, I was 8 people into the 2nd batch forcing me to wait an extra week. BAH!)

its good news, i just wished they had more accessories on launch day!

Decided to give in and pick one of these up yesterday. Couldnt find one in stock anywhere. This morning I was prepared to call every Radio Shack in the area. The 1st one I called said someone just took themselves off the list and that they had one available. I put my name on it, and picked it up 20 minutes later.
I have 2 friends that got theirs this same way. I did pre order one for my girlfriend though while I was there and she will be getting it on Friday.

I just got mine today and I had to call 8 or so sprint stores to find one in stock, ends up the store I got mine at had 10 in stock still from the first shipment and they had given a lot of their first order of 300 to other area stores. Once I got there it took them about 2 and a half hours to activate the flippin thing, my voice and 4g connected but my 3g never came up, took them forever to sort it out. They actually had to activate two evos to figure the problem out. I got 2 boxes and goodies out of the deal though, I am in the kc area too.

Which Sprint store was this? Im also in the KC area and have a few friends wondering if anyone has them in stock. Sounds like that store may be worth a shot.

argh its sold out online again!! I can't wait any longer!

I ordered mine online on the 7th, and it showed up UPS on the 9th. I couldn't have done better searching around. I say Sprint has come a long way.

I was going to order it online last night and then dumb me second guessed myself and decided to see if i could get lucky in a store today. Now I realize that was a very stupid idea.

how are some of you getting overnight delivery; i placed my order around 12pm PST yesterday and i still haven't received a delivery notification or any updates; it still says waiting in the warehouse for processing; this is annoying me since it's supposed to be overnight delivery

Which stores have this phone on display?

Want to go and check it out in person.
I know t-mobile doesnt have any yet.

I have no idea when they're going to get official displays out, but the store I went to had a guy in a Samsung shirt standing outside (in a mall) showing off the phone to people who wanted to take a closer look at it.

where are you guys at my local tmobile store had tons, there were around 6 people buying one when i walked in and abour 9 or so people working there including managers and such and all of them had one in there hand and i asked if they got only a few or a lot and they said they had a lot left and that was yesterday

Heads up to those going to get their phone at a T-Mobile store...

I just spent 20min waiting outside a T-Mobile store before it opened, the doors finally opened, I tell the rep I would like to buy a Note 4 and to my shock she said "we didn't get any". I called every other store in a 30mi radius and NOBODY has them. So make sure you call before you waste your time driving to the store.
This is all very ironic since I decided not to preorder so I could be one of the first people to get one on launch day I am pretty ticked so I filed a formal complaint, and encourage others to do the same (being polite of course). Stores are suppose to get shipments days in advance of a major product launch.

Its true. I live in NW Houston and working in SE Houston/Pasadena area so I called a lot of stores near home and work and about half of them said that Note 4 is sold out (calling within 9am-930am) and the rest said they are still waiting for the shipment and some said they only do store orders and directly shipping it to my home address. One store told me to hurry up in the afternoon because they are only getting 4 units. WTF?

Wow, only 4? I wonder if Samsung is to blame or if it's T-Mobile. Or both. I haven't heard of any other carriers having supply issues yet.

Thank you for lesson learned. I have it since this past Monday already.
Are you trying to save $6 on the shipping?

I mentioned I didn't preorder since I wanted to have it as soon as possible, I didn't feel like waiting for the UPS truck to show up. I called the minute preorders were up, they said I would get it on the 17th probably in the afternoon.

Sorry to hear you haven't had any luck locating a store with Note 4's in stock.
I'm south of Houston & planned to walk into a store to pick one up but decided to pre-order instead...certainly worked out for the better.

I called 6 different Corp stores and they all said shipment got botched and hopefully ups is delivering them today. Non Corp stores have them. Any reason not to go to a non Corp. At AT&T I got screwed by going non Corp

I've never gone to a non corporate store to get a phone. I know there are some things 3rd party stores can't do. It's kind of funny I actually work in mobile sales for a major company but we don't sell T-Mobile so I have to go get one at a store like everyone else. Our store actually only had 3 to sell as of last night when I got off(the rest of the shipment we got was all in store pickups for preorders) and I mentioned to management how BS that was.

Now that we know, ordering at the store is not it. Now you can tell UPS to hold your package while its on its way and you just pick it up at the service center. Everyone that live near KY gets free upgrade to next day air.

Got mine this morning at 10am. Showed up to the store at 9 and they told me they didn't have any and when I called at 10 they told me they had gotten 10 in and to hurry
Sent from my SM-N910T using XDA Free mobile app

As of 12:00 a vast majority of the stores in the bay area don't have any but one had a few whites and another had a few white and one black.

I was the same. I was really mad. but I got mine from a different store. The funny thing is all the guys at tmobile had a new shirt has the next big thing is here and they have nothing in stock

I played with the Note 4 for a bit but going to probably wait and see how I like the Nexus 6. The store only had a few left of the 8 they got.

I called 10 stores this morning in my area for 2 white (for a friend - got mine Wed). 7 had sold out already, 2 will not get their shipments in until after 3pm and 1 had 2 left. Unfortunately, they won't hold them so he's gonna try his luck at those 2 stores since the last store is an hour and half drive and likely won't be stocked when he gets there.
From what the stores told me, most of them got 2 white and 2 black and received their shipment later than expected but still sold out quickly. I'm surprised - they had so many s5 on launch day but I guess the Note 4 is a different breed!

same here some stores hadnt gotten the shipment yet. but i found one that did so i got mine.

Guess samsung just wants to "sell out"

So much for Samsung spending millions on marketing and promoting their phones only to mess up their store launch day
Well I dont even know if this is Samsung's or Tmo's fault.
Oh, there one store 60 miles away from me expecting the delivery in 30 mins. Crossing my fingers that I'll be able to get one 2 hrs from now. Cant leave work yet

all the other stores said to call or go back at 11 am to 2 pm to see if they already had them.
