u too?
WTF?!
This is google's solution to lack of demand? Ok, let's hit a prime retail outlet and only give them 30 phones per store. Suuuuure. That's gonna work.
All u do is tick me off.
I can't even get an online order to process because it keeps erroring out through tmobile. Seriously?! WFF.
Lol you think 30 phones is bad? Because the majority of stores near me don't activate tmo they only had 4 and even showing up early I was the first in line to not get one. Caller me back because the guy in front of me didn't know that there's no 3g on att. Then the phone had a big screen defect. Luckily after BB computer wouldn't allow a return and having to drive 25 miles to a store that had one, the employee there figures out how to bypass it and get me a new one. So far perfect! Hang in there... went through 8 vibrants, four mt4gs and on my second nexus. You should just order it online, and save the hassle of having to deal with the store. Don't know why no one informed beat buy employees how to handle this phone.
Sorry didn't see you couldn't order

The first Nexus fell on its face so this may have been a safety measure. Best Buy was a poor choice in my eyes since they are not a full tmobile supporter. I don't get why they got the exclusive over the carrier themselves.
ive waited a total of 10 hours or more on the phone (on hold) with bestbuy.
what's wrong with this picture?
I don't understand actually, I mean in Boston the store had only 4 devices. I one of the 4 who got one . Why don't Google throw more phones? overstock is better than no stock at all. Was it a rush to catch the holidays? It doesn't make sense either, because if you want to sell for the holidays you want to sell larger number than this.
Least we could grt rewardzone points!
I only waited in line for about 30 minutes at the Best Buy Mobile at the nearest mall to me and one other guy showed up right at open, and they had about 70 to sell... so iono why other stores are being so limited... odd.
My experience was way different. In a city of 100k+ I stopped in today and they had only sold one besides mine yesterday morning. Guy said they had 25000 ready to order. Best buy headquarters is only a few blocks away so maybe that contributes

any posibility to get an unlocked device next week?
I'm waiting for my SGS2.... I ordered from Affordable Mobiles in the UK.... just wanted to make sure when they say next week.... they mean NEXT WEEK..... and that they haven't been stringing along other customers for weeks and weeks with the same promises.
Label thread titles properly please. This is a question. With a [Q]! for Q&A section.

I've got an order pending with them and I've been waiting a while, but there is a shortage of unlocked handsets with the usual online retailers. If you're wanting the phone quickly I'd say go elsewhere, as I've been waiting a fortnight so far. That said, they have the best deals around, especially when taking Quidco into account. I'm holding out for a free phone @£26.50 p/m for 18months (Cashback Inc.)

Yeah same reason I went with them... TopCashback in my case and with a £35 cheque back after 30 days I will be paying the equivalent of just over £28 for 18 mths.... as you say the best deals around by at least by a few pounds each month.
I'm not in a rush as such.... just eager to get back onto Android.... my rooted HD2 died on me so I've sent it back for repair... in the meantime I am using a woeful LG Renior KC910 (good camera, crap phone!).
I am still waiting... apparently any day now, but they can't be anymore specific. They do have the SGS2 on the Three network but I specifically need T-mobile..... hopefully Monday!
Listed elsewhere as a company to avoid .

Really?... did do a search but couldn't find anything... apart from the obvious delay in getting the handset, their customer service (speed answering calls, apologies for delay etc.) has been fine.

I ordered mine few weeks back and didn't revive after a week, so spoke to them and they told me it wid be in within the next few days waited a few more days and contacted them again and they told me they dnt have the handset in stock and have no idea when they will be having it back in stock, so I just cancels my order with them and brought from local o2 shop

I ordered mine with them on 19th May..and still waiting..chased every day and they've repeatedly said 'end of the week' when i phone on the friday its 'next week'..
apparantly they now have it in stock on 3, but T-Mobile they're pretty sure will be able to deliver next week (w/c 7th June) but we'll see.
Well I suppose they are at least being consistent... I will do a search of MSE... The AM deal is the best I can get though so I am not keen to cancel just yet.
One good thing is that I have received my old HTC HD2 back from the T-Mobile repair sent so I will have that rooted and running Android in no time... that will keep me going until I get the SGS2
Let us know when you have it in your hands.
I am still waiting for mine, fingers crossed for soon - the HD2 that i am using is on its last legs - the USB port is broken and I restored a factory ROM to send it back to be fixed (which they would only do for £250). now I cant install HSPL because the USB doesnt work! even worse I had to buy extra batteries and an external charger. Longing so much to get my Galaxy SII in my hands!
Luckily my HD2 was repaired FOC via T-Mobile themselves... I made the mistake of going to HTC direct with my partners Desire and they wanted £200 citing moisture as the problem with one of the buttons.
HTC are solidly made for sure but this doesn't make them anymore reliable... hopefully the Sammy will be better.
Still waiting... and still Affordable Mobiles have no idea when they will have the handsets in stock.
Apparently they are now "In transit" (to Affordable Mobiles)
I will. be receiving mine on the 13th June now... would have been today if it wasn't for the weekend.
Looks like Affordable have reasonable stocks again as they are advertising them again and are by far the cheapest.
I called 2 Best Buys in my area to see when they'll receive the 10.1. Neither of them knew when. Are they just incompetent or is there a delay coming?!
its because they dont want to get bugged tomorrow... be patient
That's what I considered as well, but I asked them to check their computers. After they "checked" they transferred me to another Best Buy saying "maybe they'll know".
What is this area of yours? I wonder if the tab will be available everywhere on friday.
DC/MD area. I'm probably going to go tomorrow to ask them in person. We'll see how that goes. Should be, it did say nationwide release.
Best buy associates are notorious morons, not unheard of that they wouldn't know what is going on.

I pre-ordered the 32gb metallic grey one from the BB in Waldorf, MD back on the 9th.
I got sent from the cell phone section to the computer section and back a few times before someone figured out what to do but yeah...they finally got me in there. They tried to check to see what models they'd have in stock and nothing showed up anywhere so yeah... I'm really hoping when I go in Friday to pick mine up that they actually have it, otherwise I'll be trying to find some place that does.
Got passed around from customer service to mobile to computers to the website trying to preorder with no luck. I was told I could do the preorder online and pick it up launch day at the store instead of having it shipped. Web site told me to screw myself and only get it shipped to my house for extra $... After all that I talked to the manager. I gave the SKU to the her to look up delivery times. There is 0 for the entire state of Washington for the foreseeable future.
The website now lists 6/17-6/24 as the arrival time.
Getting pissed.
Went to 2 Best Buy stores in NY and the employees actually new about the Tab and confirmed Friday as the release date.

I'm going to Virginia Beach Friday so I was trying to get my tablet 10am when BB opens so I can use it on the ride down. Now I'm not even sure if that'll happen, great! But it seems not many people are pre-ordering or are even aware of this tablet coming out so odds are, you can probably go into any BB and get one, if they receive any. I may just do that I'm in Virginia Beach.
My local store already had the cases in stock (at least the folio) so I'm fairly confident they will have them Friday. They also said that there is some special display that is being set up for them on Sunday so definitely by then. I preordered so the thing better be there Friday. Haha.
I can assure you that the your local Best Buy will have them in stock Friday. If you haven't pre-ordered (tell the associate to pull the form from ETK) make sure you get there about 15mins prior to open or even earlier for your best chance of getting one.

Are you implying supplies will be short?
I am not sure if there will be shortage of supply, but BB still had plenty of white 16GB's at NYC Union Sq location, and according to the sales associates there it's been selling like cupcakes.
When I was there to get mine a couple asked about it thinking it was an iPad2, and ended up buying the GT!

Yes, I too would like to know if you're implying this.
yes bestbuy didnt seem to know what they were talking about when i called. I decided to drive the 2 hrs to new york best buy to pick one up early
strangely after only having the tablets since the 8th they had quite a few oben box tabs which im not sure is a good sign but i was able to save 50 dollars and youd never know it was a return still had the factory plastic all over almost like whoever bought it returned it without even giving it a try
FYI...best buy in pentagon city has about 20 in stock. Just picked one up!!

If anyone is looking for a no-contract Epic to put on a MVNO, use as a backup, PMP for the kids, or to upgrade a family member on the cheap, here is a good deal IMO.
Not sure how long it will last, these are usually only 24-48 hours.
They are USED and may not be in best shape, look for 6 or 7 rating for good quality.
Thank you SOOO much for posting this, just found out I didn't have insurance on one of my lines and their epic shattered lol.

I actually spent 3 months trying to fix the GPS i inexplicably broke on my evo 4g (which i absolutely LOVED) and just couldn't seem to fix it. The gps thing was more of an annoyance, saw this deal for $79 at the time of purchase and the phone i got was rated a "5". Screen was in great shape which is what i was worried about, would probably use that site again if i'm in a bind like now (contract is up in 5-6 months)
I was hoping they might have the GSII/Epic-Touch for closer to $200 as I've been increasingly thinking about getting a slightly older device to wait out another year/generation as I won't have LTE in my area for at least another year anyway and just save my upgrade credit. The Epic Touch is still $260 though.
However, at $160 the Motorola Photon looks like a pretty sweet deal. Solid specs, Motorola build-quality/signal and will be officially upgraded to ICS later this year. How can you tell ESN status on this site though? On eBay the Photons with a clean ESN and 'Buy Now' are going for closer to $250.

The Cowboom site has a 30 day return guarantee. They will pay return shipping.
The phones are usually checked, but if it turns out by chance to have a bad ESN, they won't hesitate to exchange it.

Thanks. I figure it being affiliated with Best Buy makes it a somewhat safer bet, but just wanted to be sure if I decide to pull the trigger.
Checked out the Photon at lunch. Not hyper-thin (sort of halfway between the Epic and the new uber-skinny slabs) but seems like a potential option for my situation, especially for the price.

What do you guys think? It says you try for 2 weeks then I'm pretty sure you gotta buy the phone on its actual price. Lol just thought it was interesting 0.01 off contract.
I wonder what the marketing team is playing at here. This is a unique way of selling phones.
so what if i get one for 2 weeks and then decide i dont want it? do i just send back a customized Moto X with no other charges? seems a little sketchy to me

It's possible they would require you to ship it back to them on your dime. IMO, this is completely fair. The penny puts your CC on their account. If people decide to take advantage of this for fraudulent reasons, Moto has your CC on their database and can easily charge you the full amount. This also moves units as well and gains exposure for the phone(sounds like their 500M marketing budget was cut). Some people may be convinced to keep the phone because spending the effort to ship back the phone may be too dissuading.
For our benefit, we get to test-run a phone at no risk for 2 weeks and we just have to send it back if we're done. That sounds good to me. Of course if they provide pre-paid labels to send back, then it really is no-risk for us.

Thats what im thinking. i want to try out a Wooden back before i use my code! if i cant get one, try it out and send it back for $.01, thats a no brainer. or even let my girlfriend try it out for 2 weeks and not use her GS3 that she always complains about...(Dont want her to get a iph*ne)
There is no charge to send it back from what i have heard.
No charge for shipping or the return either (you contact FedEx and they send the return packaging and can pick it up as well).
Motorola knows people will attempt to scam them for phones with this, if you read the FAQ for this Try Before You Buy offer they make it clear they can and will remotely brick the phones if you attempt to rip 'em off (not sure there's any actual way to stop that, even with using custom ROMs, etc, I have no idea).
If you do decide to keep one they'll attempt to charge the credit card the full price, and if that doesn't go through they'll then push lawyers on you so, I'm pretty sure they're covered.
Worse comes to worse they can simply push the IMEI to the national blacklist and the phone is dead regardless.
I mean, for a penny, if they're willing to ship me one I'd love to try one out for a time, can just slide my T-Mobile SIM in it and I'm good to go.
<least till this Sprint/T-Mobile and now SoftBank crap gets resolved 'cause if it happens you can be damned sure they're going to kill the $30/month plan so many of us love...>

They are all out now.
Although if you're willing to put the full price on a credit card (instead of only "paying a penny") you can still try one out for 14 days and return it free if you want.

I don't think you can return it if you buy it full price I think you can only exchange it for a different color option.
But anyway I was looking forward for this promotion as I can't stand my note 3 anymore because it's so laggy but when I woke up this morning all the codes were gone
If anyone has a spare one and willing to give it away for free I will gladly take it
Got a Royal Blue, White Front and Metallic accent ordered. I'm 50/50 right now on keeping it past 14 days once it gets here.
Just seems for the $400+ price it's a little steep
Got one to try out and possibly keep. White/Bamboo/Silver Accents & 64gb. Always liked the X and wanted one since last Fall.

I was able to return the X I bought during the black Friday promotion within 30 days (CA resident) with no penalty and free shipping. Maybe they've changed their policy since January.
Anyways, I ordered a blue/white/bamboo 32gb to try out. If the screen and camera are better than the one I had in December, I'll seriously consider keeping it. My nexus 4 has been struggling lately and I don't know if it'll make it to the X+1/Nexus 6(?) release in September.

So for some reason Motorola sent me another code that expires today. Here it is:

Is it worth getting a moto x so close to the release of the x+1?

Did you get an email saying it was on hold or did you proactively have to contact CS to learn this? You'd think they'd be capable of handling a huge influx of orders at this point.
