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 wonder how many of those are HTC's? This is definately something to watch.
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?

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
Anyone have an idea how long it takes Sprint to fill their backorder queue? I'm dying here waiting for my phone. Like a kid waiting for Christmas...

That's up to HTC, sprint can only ship out phones as fast as they get them, and HTC has slowed down/on hold right now(some think it is to fix manufacturing problems)
i240 / Sante Fe in okc had them a week ago.
Bought my first evo day it came out.
replaced it week or so later. (no wait at that store)
they replaced it with another POS whent to
33rd / Broadway Edmond and they had none waited 1 week for replacement.
Call around to stores and put your name on there wait list (then go to the first store that calls u)
Call around to BB, 3 of my friends called around and got them same day. Also check Sams Club and Radio Shack. I wouldnt buy from Sprint anyways due to the MIR.
ya i bought for full retail
if u want it really bad just deal with the MIR or go threw BB or RS if you can find them with them. MY BB in OK only has one store that sells sprint and within that they only taking orders. PHHH>>
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...

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.

Just got an email from Sprint this morning, saying I can get it now. Waiting for Best Buy to open to see if they have any in stock, or if I have to order from Sprint.
I ordered mine this morning.
Jimbobtexas Best Buy shouldn't have them until Friday I believe. The pre-order online should then get it to you here by Thurs/Fri. So it should be the same time or so.
The nice thing about online is that you get to waive the activation charge, it has free shipping, and you can charge it to your account. Makes it much easier if you need to return in within 30 days.
Going to the sprint store after work
from my phone duh
I did last week, 3 looooooooong days left.
Ordered mine today from the First to Buy Event also, here's hoping a get a package tomorrow!
I am on the fence right now about the 3D. With GB on my Evo, I am not sure it is worth upgrading to it just yet. I think there is a couple more phones coming down the pike in about a month or so that might be better choices for me. Besides, EVO 3D does not have a kickstand! LOL

I tried calling a few stores and none of them said I could pick it up at a store today. I ordered it online at 8am Eastern time and spoke to "order support" or something a half hour later and was told that my order has been received by the warehouse, there is stock, and my phone is awaiting pick up from UPS. She said they always ship using the fastest available service, so I'm hoping it arrives here at work tomorrow.
I just came to comment that "of" is oddly capitalized in the topic.
I didn't order because I don't think the 3d is worth full retail price if I have a working evo. Waiting for the next generation of phones or maybe the galaxy s2 if it turns out to have amazing developer support like this evo.
I'm waiting to see the fury that will be unleashed on the forum this weekend once this phone is in full circulation. Waiting to see if a couple of the issues get worked out first.
In the meanwhile I have a fully functional recently updated Evo!!!!!
NEXUS 3!!!!!!!!!!

Flashed stock Sense yesterday to my Evo. Couldn't STAND it. Can't imagine no root, no CM7, no nandroid, no custom ROMs... and being stuck with Sense, improved or not.
Though I've preordered, I'm skipping this one. Anybody want my spot in line at Radio Shack on Friday?
Me and my bro get ours on Launch day. We have upgrades and we're trading in our Evos. I'm going to miss my e4G.

gl with w/e you choose. I don't mind running GoLauncher, ADW or LauncherPro over Sense. This phone is more than fast enough anyhow, I don't need AOSP as much. But I will flash it when it becomes available, no rush though.
When you order via telesales, do they charge it to your account? Or do you have to use a card?
I'm really on the fence about this one, especially w/ all the phones that'll be coming out the next couple of months. So I'm either gonna wait a bit & see what happens or I'm gonna wake up on Friday morning tell myself "what am I thinking, I have to get an EVO 3D" and race over to the Radio Shack down the street
Is that Target HTC EVO 4G trade in for the $40 EVO 3D just a lie/rumor??
