Anyone that has successfully purchased a TyTN and is using it in the US I would greatly appreciate some info on where to do so.
Thanks a lot.
I'm a currently an HTC Wizard use, and love it. I really want the video phone capability, and the increased speed for games and such. Looking forward to M$ Live Anywhere!
You're going to have to wait for video calling in the US... Cingular has not yet activated the feature (but are allegedly going to do so sometime in Q4 this year).
buy at http://www.smart-mobile-gadgets.com/ or http://www.dweiniger.com/ (note that I am not affiliated with either one)
or you can always go to trusty old ebay!
Thanks
Thank you very much for the info... And I'm aware of the Video Calling issuie here in the states. I'd like to have it early.... and have the faster phone... the overclocked Wizard just isnt cutting it...
730 isnt a bad price.... Thanks for the links...
Let me know when you buy it, I will follow.
Thankx!
i got mine from Phonesource-usa.com
i ordered and arrived the next day i am in canada but they are based out of the U.S las vegas i belive.
awsome service too always quick to reply.
oh and probably one of the best price's out there at the moment.
I really like the link from the last post. Thank you very much.
I will post here when I end up buying mine!
I bought 2 of them from http://www.PhoneSource-USA.com and I agree the service was awsome. I had mine delivered the next day and my brothers would of been delivered the next day if he didn't live out in the woods where they don't accept Saturday delivery.
Most places tried to tell me they had them instock or where recieving theres the next day but didn't. Give this guy a try if you haven't already purchased it.
we have the TyTN on special 719.99.. lowest price
full USA warranty for our customers ( Thats mean your tytn will be serviced in USA office).. and free USA CHARGER

I just purchased mine from GSM Phone Source (www.gsmphonesource.com). They are great to deal with and super fast service.
I have been wanting and waiting on the Xperia for a year now. Ever since they first started talking about it on the web. I pre-ordered the phone through Dynamism and cancelled the order twice with each delay. I heard that many people were ordering from Expansys and decided that since they had them in stock, I would give them a try.
Thursday morning I tried to order the Xperia from them with my Paypal account when there were 7 available units on their website. I had to jump through many hoops because my confirmed address with Paypal is a Post Office Box and Fed Ex will not deliver to a PO Box .. I scanned envelopes as requested by Expansys, showing that I received deliveries at my office address. I kept checking by telephone to see if their order department received the scans. A few hours later they said 'yes they had finally received the scans of my office delivery address, but now the phone was SOLD OUT.' I was told to keep checking the website to see when more units become available .." Expansys issued a refund to Paypal, but Paypal has not yet released it to me because the money I paid with came from my bank and they have to wait until that clear, which it did, but Paypal gave me some lame excuse ... Said I will have the refund within 4 business days.
Late in the day I saw the Expansys website was showing 72 available units. Quickly I called their UK office - My 6th international call in one day, can't wait to get the bill. The UK office was now closed and my call was forwarded to the USA .. I was talking to the USA at international rates
Spoke with someone named **** in the USA office. He said that even though the site says 72 units available, he can't say for sure if there really are any until I place an order. Said I could try and purchase one and see what happens.. So I did.
First I explained "I can't afford to have more money taken from my account if there aren't going to be any available phones." and he assured me that my debit card will NOT be charged if the phones are on back order.
I entered the debit card info, but with the wrong expiration date and the order didn't go through ... their computer retried the card 3 times and that put a lock on my card. I didn't know why it wasn't going through, or that the card was now destroyed, but since I have two bank accounts I used my other debit card.
That card was approved but inventory once again showed NO PHONES AVAILABLE. **** was on the line with me while I was ordering and on the line when the message came back NONE AVAILABLE .. He was still on the line when I logged into my online banking and sure enough, the failed order placed another hold on $800+ It will take 4 days for that hold to be removed. There is nothing I can do, my bank can do or Expansys can do to release the funds..
Last night when my bank saw another attempt to charge from Expansys.com they thought they were doing me a favor and froze that card too. I couldn't buy a cup of coffee at McDonald's this morning with either card and when I called my bank to ask why, they told me what had happened and why both cards were locked.
It didn't matter that my bank locked my second card, because by now there wasn't much money left ..
BUT BEFORE MY ACCOUNTS WERE FROZEN ..
I read here that someone was selling some Xperias on eBay .. person has great feedback etc ... With the last of my money I tried again. He shipped UPS yesterday morning and now .. more than 24 hours later .. my phone is still in customs in London for 'unknown reasons.' I was supposed to be getting it tomorrow ..
SO ... other than THAT Mrs. Lincoln .. How was the play ???
OMG
You're truly a gadget maniac to go through all that for a phone...
I salute thee and hope that you get your money and your Xperia soon enough
Makes me feel guilty that i can just go downtown and get one

Man I can't believe what you've dealt with trying to get an X1. After all the frustration and stress you deserve it for free but we all know they're definitely not giving these things away . Wish I would have posted something sooner about Clove's service because they made the wait manageable and handed things very professionally.
Anyhow, props on being so patient and persistent! Let us know when it finally arrives and I certainly hope it is soon. Once you do get it, you won't regret it.....it's an awesome device.
I just checked with UPS again. They still can't tell me where the package is, why it hasn't moved or when I will receive it. I put a stop pay on my Paypal payment. I don't think I want this phone anymore. I am surely not going to pay a high dollar for it .. I will wait until something new comes out. This experience has taken all the fun out of the phone ...
If you imported it from the US to the uk and customs have nabbed it, I'm sorry to say that you'll probably have to pay 17.5% tax, with some random £8 or so fee to boot.
I've had the same when ordering memory from ebay, I had to pay an extra £50 on top of what I'd paid, as well as waiting 3-4 days for customs to get their finger out of their...

It is coming from the UK to the USA .. Hasn't moved for 48 hours. This is my thought. The package is going to my office. A coin shop. the word "coin" is in the name of the business. I forgot to tell the seller to remove that. My bet is on that someone at UPS thought it was full of coins and opened it. Then tossed it aside when they didn't find any. If it had contained coins, I would have received an empty box.
ALSO.. Our insurance company will no longer insure packages that are shipped UPS for this exact same reason.
I dont know, maybe it wasnt meant to be.

Gutted, I hope it does turn up for you, I'd be mightily miffed (as I was when ordering that memory) if anything got delayed.
I'm waiting for word from Vodafone UK when they get some xperias in stock, I'm exchanging my Touch Pro as I've had a quick go on an xperia one of my colleagues has gotten his hands on and I'm quite impressed by the responsiveness compared to the TP.

+1, from the title I thought you didn't like the phone. Sorry about all your trouble.
True it's just a phone, but that phone cost her her morning coffee and that is nothing to be joked about
to OP: I hope you get the phone soon and that all the trouble is left behind
You basically screwed your self 3 times here trying to get this phone. Chill out and wait till you know for sure. Customs does this **** all the time, they can take anything they want and hold it for as long as they want. Happens to me all the time with shipments from Thailand for my company. You definitely shouldn't have done Paypal, then had them refund it, and then use your debit card (with the same company) the same day for the phone again, that was stupid. You should have just given the money via paypal and been the first to get the phone when it was back in stock. I am sure you have another phone you can use in the meantime.
OK .. my final post on this subject - Got my last payment refunded by the ebay seller. Of course, gotta wait for it to clear before I get access to that money. Have first payment still on hold in Paypal and the second on hold at my bank .. but the GOOD NEWS IS ..
My regular gadget seller has one coming to me overnight - saturday delivery .. He just got his shipment in. I buy most of my gadgets from him and he is totally reliable and honest .. in case anyone is looking .. In fact. Sometimes he has things that he hasn't up on his website yet. Thats how it was with my Blackberry Bold and my HTC Touch Pro .. just tell him Diane sent you .. you won't be disappointed .. EVER !!
His name is Ron and his website is www.networkingrus.com - I should have waited on him. He seems to always get the latest gadgets quick for a USA seller. He was a lagging a little behind the UK -- - but I had asked him weeks ago to let me know when he got the xperia in and at noon he sent me an email saying he had some. YIPPEE <<< I will yell that tomorrow in BOLD if nothing goes wrong ..

Expansys is a great place to buy from. Just make sure you're buying through your country. Being in the US and buying from expansys UK is a huge hassle. You should have bought through expansys USA. http://www.expansys-usa.com we had 4 arrive today.

Oh man, you really need that phone so bad I'm still waiting it to be released officially in Hungary, though I could buy it already trough UK stores. Nothing's worth so much trouble with customs and foreign online stores
BTW Expansys sells the X1 at a very expensive price, I wouldn't recommend to buy it from them.
I hope the X1 will please you

Glad to hear!
I've had a text from Vodafone confirming that I'll get mine on monday
I'm looking forward to the xperia, from what I've seen of a mate's phone, it's more responsive and is much better for playing and recording videos than my Touch Pro. I'll miss the keyboard on my TP though...

I wanted one of these when they first came out. Beautiful tablet screen wise but no USB port was a deal breaker.

That's not a bad price but i'm going to wait for the Amazon tablet.
Holy cow what a deal! I'm still trying to convince myself that I would actually use a tablet.
Did anyone order this galaxy tab 10.1? I ordered on the 14th and it still hasn't been shipped.
Is this website trusted? anybody get item from this web before?

I ordered one around 1am est the day of the sale and still no shipment. I hear this company can take up to 2 weeks to ship out a product. From what i hear the company takes orders first. Then they order the stock for the number of orders they had. It seems like they dont have the product on hand before they sell it which is a really bad practice. You cant really short sell in the retail industry.
If i dont get a shipping notofication by Wens i will be calling them. Ill update this thread if my Tab 10.1 ships.
I ordered one as well and no shipping information. Waiting till end of week before I contact them. Although they did charge my paypal account fast!

Yea that is kinda what pisses me off about this company. You are quick to take my money but you aren't quick to send the product. That to me is just foul. I already sent them an email asking about my purchase. I don't even know if i'm gonna get a cancelation because they are out of stock.
Aight. Let us know if you get a response.
In their defense they have a policy to ship within 6 business days. After today 9/20 its only been 4 business days. Which is why im gonna call on Fri if they dont ship.
On the BBB there arent too many complaints. Woot actually has a lower business rating than dailysteals. And ive yet to have a problem with woot. So idk
I get how slow shipment times can piss someone off. Im spoiled and have amazon prime so im used to recieving things a day after ordering
crossing my fingers
Sadly I didn't read that before i bought it. If i had i would've just bought one on ebay. I'm not too concerned with waiting but i'm more fearful of an email 6 days later saying oops we were out of stock when you ordered. That will piss me off to no end.

Well i bought it because the price was good. The wait isnt bad as long as it ships this week.
However in my excitement i went over to the tab 10.1 forum and i noticed that the 10.1 has a high percentage of users reporting newton rings. So now im a bit upset, with my luck the tab i get will have this problem.
I love my galaxy tab 7 i hope ill love this 10.1
really very cheap
Hi, new member today! I'm in the same boat in regards to patiently waiting for my 10.1 to ship from Daily Steals. When I ordered it, I completely missed the part where it said, "up to 6 business days before it ships". I had a refurb 32gb on order from Fry's but cancelled it when I saw this one.
I've called, emailed and chatted with Daily Steals and I've gotten the same canned response. As I explained to them, I can understand waiting 1-2 weeks for a $10 or $20 item but to go 5 or 6 days with no updates on a $350 tablet is inexcusable.
The other thing that would be helpful, is having a message board on their site like WOOT. This would alleviate a lot of anxiety when waiting.

Update. Live Chat is a complete waste of time with Daily Steals. The only thing they could/would tell me is that it would ship within a day or two.
Beach Camera via eBay had them for $299 this morning. Lasted only about an hour. Sold out fast........

I 100% agree. I would be ok if they were actually going to send me the tab lol. I'm expecting another Touchpad incident where i bought one and like 4 days later they send me a cancelation. Which made it much harder for me to buy one any place else. I've seen the Gtab 10.1 on ebay for 350 plenty of times so the deal wasn't amazing but it was something i didn't have to wait for.... So i believed lol.
Hi,
Thank you for contacting us, your order is being processed for shipment and will be shipped shortly. You will receive tracking information once it has been shipped. Please let us know if you have any questions.

This is the response i got from dailysteals so i'm optimistic. I think they would know by now if they sold more than they had stock of. So i can wait now
I pretty much got the same thing. Hopefully there'll be some movement tomorrow.
Hi,
Thank you for contacting us. Please allow 6 business days from purchase date for you order to process. After processing we will then ship your order. Once we receive tracking information we will send you an email. Please let us know if there is anything else we can assist you with.

The 6 day mark is tomorrow for me so lets see what happens. I'm confident that they won't say they sold out before i made my purchase. I'm not confident they won't just say F U all together lol..
Google wallet closed my wallet account and my wallet card cause they thought fraudulent activity was going on. They didnt even bother to ask me before assuming.
My note 4 preorder was assigned to that card. So I called tmo, explained that I needed to update my card information. And I was told I have to wait for it to decline first. Kool beans.
Well like 5 hours later I see a google wallet message for a declined $59 charge from tmo. Im like can it be. No no no, its no where near 10/17. So I get a text from tmo to call a number.
I call and sure enough rep says they are shipping Note 4's earlier than expected. Wven with ground shipping, my order may come way b4 the 17, like 4 days.
WTF ))))))))
They been hinting at an early launch for people who pre ordered online.

I just got a text saying my card was charged! Anxiously waiting for a shipping number! I opted for next day, so maybe tomorrow?
My card got charged too. Which I swear I saw that they would charge it once the device ships... I am super excited and hope I get mine tomorrow (did next day shipping because I am impatient)
Another person has received his tracking number already and some people have confirmed with tmobile that they have started shipping.

I got txt msg that my payment didnt go thru. I am suprised. So I just called and she took my # and everything has been submitted. She says she will follow up with me tomorrow. I dont know why my cc charge didnt go thru. Everything is fine. Even my monthy payment is on this card. She say I will not loose my place.
It will be shipping soon. I hope tomorrow.
Btw...
My local tmobile has been swearing up and down they were going on sale on the 10th in stores... I kept on asking them, if they were sure cause that's the international release date...then they would be like umm no we should be releasing on the us release date, whatever that is...
Their lack of certainty is what made me just pre-order online... but now I wonder if they really will get them in for release tomorrow??? I'm gonna call them...

Ditto, although I didnt pre-order as soon as most of you so I dont expect my order to ship till next week.
I hate Chase cc. They are always over over cautious!
Finally after 3rd try, my order has been charged from T-mobile. I got the confirmation txt from Chase my card has been charged.
I will get it next week. Its gonna be the longest days of my life. LOL
My CC was just charged, no shipping number or change in order status
Same here, I got charged this morning. I later called a tmob rep, and he was actually surprised and kinda hinted for an earlier shipment date. Pre ordered mine on the 2nd.....
Says processing, but not backorder now. Debit authorization hit my bank earlier today.
P.S. the tmob said that I should expect a tracking number tonight or tomorrow..... seriously tmobile, you waited till the weekend to ship them.... here goes 2 days for nuthin'
I just looked and have a pending tmo charge on my credit card... order status page still shows "Order Placed"...
I preordered on 9/24 around 12:40pm PST...selected free shipping
I'm also awaiting tracking number. Even though everyone seemed to have been charged today, has anyone gottin there tracking number yet?
Usually there phones ship from KY and I live in TN so I didn't bother going with faster shipping since I live down the street.
Any tracking info from anybody?
I also suspect this thread will get merged with the preorderd thread eventually since there posting the same info their.

My card got the pending charge, Yay!!!! T-Mobile order status still says "Order Processing".
still pending... Los Angeles...
I preordered 32gb Black pixel XL the minute it was announced on the 4th.
Everything went through fine and I got a confirmation email of the order.
Then I notice that there are no funds on hold in my account .
I think nothing of it and figure they will hold funds when it ships .
Fast forward to Monday the 17th .
I call customer service to inquire when I should receive my phone and why there isn't a hold on my bank account for the funds.
They tell me that I should receive the phone between the 26-28 of October .
And that I will be charged when it ships.
That my order is processing and every is fine .
Last night I get an email from Google saying that my order has been cancelled.
It states to reason as to why ....
So I call customer service , they tell me its a billing issue and transfer me to google wallet .
We verify that my billing and mailing addresses match and they do .
Next we get on a 3 way call with my bank to see if their were any declines from their end .
Once again nothing , the bank has no record of google ever making any attempt to charge it hold funds.
The customer service representative from wallet says " well everything looks fine , so you should go ahead and place an order again "
I said to them it's sold out , how do you want me to do that .
They had no answer for that .
Then she transfered me to the ordering department .
I went back and forth with them about what took place , they escalated it to a tier 2 person , in which they told me to join the waiting list .
This is complete bull**** , they canceled my order for no reason and now I have to get on a waiting list for a phone that i ordered and got confirmation was shipping next week .
What can I do at this point ?
Thanks

That sucks. One thing to try is pleading on twitter. Many companies hate when you make something public on social media so you may get a better response.
Same thing happened to my order. Came in to work today to the cancelled order email. Contacted them via phone and chat and was told something happened in the system and a bunch of orders got cancelled and that there was nothing they could do about it. Absolutely ridiculous! Having ordered over two weeks ago only to get on a wait list now and probably not get the free VR headset!? Really wish this was a regular retail store so I could take my business elsewhere.

So far it doesn't seem like it. All I have been told is that I need to get on the wait list. That is unacceptable as it looks like it will push the order out 1-2months and we would be screwed out of the VR headset. I just called back myself to try talking to someone else or a manager if needed. They said they had to check on something and they would call me back in 5 minutes (we shall see if they do).
The only acceptable resolution for me is for them to reinstate the order and get it shipped out soon as well as still providing the codes for the headsets . After committing to spend over $1600 with Google for two phones I think that is fair on my part.
If you are getting the 32GB, it often goes back on sale multiple times a day. I say 1/3 times I checked the 32GB is available, the 128GB is the hard one. Just keep checking and you will be able to order another one. I used their financing, that might help too if you can, don't have to deal with another bank. No reason not to at 24 mo, 0% interest. Saves yourself a tiny bit through the time value of money.

I used the Google financing and the order was still cancelled! I have 3 different email addresses set on the wait list since I am trying to get 2 phones. I am constantly checking to see if I can grab one. If I can get an order in for two by tomorrow I will be satisfied. Not happy, but satisfied.

If you are getting the 32GB, it often goes back on sale multiple times a day. I say 1/3 times I checked the 32GB is available, the 128GB is the hard one. Just keep checking and you will be able to order another one. I used their financing, that might help too if you can, don't have to deal with another bank. No reason not to at 24 mo, 0% interest. Saves yourself a tiny bit through the time value of money.

You will get a hard inquiry in your credit report, that was the reason I didn't finance.

Ya, you think they would just force an order in, even if they have to add it to the next batch, just put it in reserve.

Yes you will, that is the only down side, so make sure you have no problem with your credit being affected by that.

I just called back again and pressed the issue. They finally escalated the issue but this just means they emailed me to tell me I would hear back in 1-2 business days. I made it clear that this defeats the purpose as by then the preorder is over and I loose the headsets.
Not holding my breath here though.

That's where they left off with me last night.
Escalated and awaiting an email ... Meanwhile the phone launches at best buy and Verizon tomorrow.
Really weighing out my options at the moment to make sure I don't left in the dark.

yeah, really blows. I don't want any other phone but really need a new one. I really don't want to buy from VZW or anyone else with their fingers in things. Worst case I wait until they are available again but I am still going to be very bitter about being screwed out of 2 VR headsets.
google pre order system works backwards.
Same thing happened to me today at 3pm. I had google finance and pre ordered the phone on October 4th and all of the sudden it got cancelled.
There seems to be a lot on canceled orders on here alone. I wonder if it scales up with everyone that pre-ordered? If it does, could it be google canceled random people due to low supply?

Does your order show cancelled in the order history on Google store website?

just a heads up. I called Google the other day to ask about the pre order promotion. I said specifically that I wanted to take advantage of it but was afraid that I would miss it because the window was closing.
The rep from Google told me not to worry that "no matter when you order, if you get this phone, you get a headset".
Verizon seems to be doing the same thing. I called them and they gave me a promo code over the phone they said you just need to activate a phone to use the promo. Doesn't seem to matter when you buy.
I think it was setup this way just to build hype.

It definitely isn't everyone. I have a buddy who ordered one the same day and he also financed with Google. His order has not been cancelled as of now. Granted he did get the regular Pixel so maybe it is related to the XL only?
They claimed to me on the phone that two nights ago at 3am something happened and the orders had issues/got cancelled and that it happened to many orders.

Interesting. One of the people I spoke to said that the promotion was ending at midnight tonight. Another one simply said "as long as the promotion notification is on the website, it is active". The last person I spoke with who escalated it to 2nd level told me that, while she couldn't guarantee anything, in the past they have given vouchers to make up for it if the promo is missed due to this. Interesting that this same type of thing happens each year with the preorders...

OK , Update:
I just got off a chat with Google and this is what they said:
Raul D10:44 AM
Thanks for contacting Google Support. My name is Raul D.

Hi, Im matthew
Raul D10:44 AM
Hello Matthew!
Matthew 10:45 AM
Good morning, I called yesterday and expressed that I was interested in taking part in teh preorder promo, but that I didnt think that I would be able to make teh cut seeing as teh 128gb version is sold out.
Matthew 10:46 AM
The Rep told me that It didnt matter when I ordered teh phone that I would get a free headset as long as I was on teh waitlist. Can you please verify this for me?
Matthew 10:46 AM
Please forgive my spelling.
Raul D10:47 AM
I'd really like to see if I can assist.
Matthew 10:47 AM
Thank you
Raul D10:47 AM
You're welcome.
Raul D10:47 AM
Please let me've a look in to it.
Raul D10:48 AM
US customers who pre order a Pixel or Pixel XL from Google Store or Project Fi will receive a promotional code for a Daydream View at no cost.
Raul D10:48 AM
This promotional code is only redeemable through the Google Store.
Raul D10:49 AM
Daydream View will NOT ship with the Pixel device.
Raul D10:49 AM
A separate email with the subject "Your Daydream View VR headset" will be sent to you after your order confirmation email which will include more details in regards to the promotion [EXAMPLE].
Matthew 10:49 AM
OK , That works, but how about if you missed the preorder because your on the wait list?
Raul D10:50 AM
This outlines that you should receive your promotional code approximately four weeks after your device ships.
Raul D10:50 AM
The promotion has no definitive end date and is only valid while supplies last. Codes will expire 12/31/2016.
Matthew 10:52 AM
ok, cool, so even if I do not place the order by yesterday 10/19/2016, as long as I order and have my device before the coupon code expires on 12/31/2016 than I should still receive the promo code for a free vr headset. Correct.
Raul D10:53 AM
I'm sorry, this is only valid while supplies last.
Matthew 10:54 AM
OK, so as long as I order my device when it becomes available, and while supplies last I should still get a promo code e-mailed to me? Is that accurate?
Raul D10:54 AM
Yes.
Matthew 10:55 AM
Wonderful, thank you, so it doesn't technically need to be a pre-order, its just a while supplies last promo effectively then. Thank you, That makes me feel better.
Raul D10:56 AM
You're welcome.
Raul D10:56 AM
I'm glad I could assist.
Matthew 10:56 AM
Thank you for your time this morning.
Raul D10:56 AM
You're welcome.
Raul D10:56 AM
It looks like you're all set.
So yes it looks liek were all set as long as we get teh device before they run out of headsets lol.
