Did you get yours??

LAUNCH DAY!!!
I have an appointment at Best Buy Mobile in 4 hours, I'm so excited cannot wait to be off work so I can run there!!
On one part I'm sad that I will be leaving Windows Mobile (Touch Pro2) but they're not coming out with a 1ghz CDMA Winmo phone so it's time to move on... I had tried android before on a G1 but went back to windows mobile after realizing you couldn't do much with it. Hopefully by now android is more winmo like with folder structures and complete control of files etc. Also will miss my $50/mo unlimited everything plan from boost(sprint).
Does Best Buy do 1-year contracts? I'd rather pay the $70 extra for the phone if I have the option of upgrading early.
POST YOUR DAY 1 EXPERIENCE!!

My cousin works at a store, so I got to cut the line of 15 peopel and be in and out with one.

I got mine this morning. Very satisfied so far, although I can't say I approve of Motorola's attitude towards rooting.

mine will be arriving to my doorsteps tomorrow morning/afternoon, didnt want that hassle of mail-in-rebate so i ordered online.

my appointment is at noon but my wifey is picking it up for me since she gets corporate discount. Woot!

Yes, I sure did
But I do have mixed feelings because of the root/bootloader situation
It's a very nice device, since I'm coming from the Omnia perhaps anything is better

Got mine at the mall kiosk.
Went to the verizon store after work and they were sold out. Then I went to the mall and got mine there.

I was number 15 to get mines. No preorder just walked in and added a line. Loving it so far also got the carbon fiber case, love those job discounts

Went there an hour and a half before opening, got mine 4th.

got mine at 8:45 this morning. They even let me in the store a little early. I got the phone, some screen protectors, a case and the media dock. Everything i wanted. I am super happy.

How much is the media dock?

Satsified!

The Media Dock is 49.99 the cable is 24.99 and the car dock is 24.99 as well. The gel case is 14.99 and so forth for the others.
I got mine today. Dropped my Evo and gave it to my sister, she was like uh, are you for real, your just giving it to me, , well i think a good deed leads to another in the future!
I love it so far, but, coming from Sense, it's really a diff ballgame. It has me loving the internal Social networks and all the resizing of the widgets and etc...
The pictures and video seem more vibrant than the Evo too. The colors and letters on the screen seem sharper. Hmm.. who'd thought, once again Motorola defies with only 54 Extra Pixels.
Only complain, wtf, with the speaker? Like it's a "Droid" they're known for that, even the Incredible still has a louder speaker, and dont let me get started with the power hous of an Evo.
Besides that, It has been well. This will suffice until the winter when the 2GHZ one arrives and the 12MP and all those goodies.

[Poll] - The Focus is almost here. Who's getting one Monday?

In just about two days the WP7 is coming out. Who all is planning on getting one Monday?

Maybe just to get some free Katy Perry tickets (im currently in nyc but dont live here).
Anyways it would be nice to get it ASAP since my current wm 6.5 is falling apart. The FB app stop working and now the AP too.
Also everyday it gets more slugish and bugy etc. I'm tired of it.

I think the Focus will have a very nice display, but not sure about the plastic exterior. I'll be getting a Venue Pro, but that's also because I'm with T-Mobile. So my only choices are HD7 and VP. HTC has been cutting too many corners this time, so they will not be getting my money until higher quality phones start getting produced by them again.

i'm on t mobile too but since i'm 90% of the time have wifi so i'm probably going to wait and get the focus if it can be unlocked or the venue pro

Getting the phone yet bummed my 32GB Mico SD has been delayed shipping from an Amazon supplier. Wanted to load the phone right off the bat with maximum memory too.
EDITED: Decied to cancel the Class 2 32GB and get the Class 6 16GB

Ill have one Monday or possibly Sunday since that's when the AT&T stores actually get the phones. The guy at the store said he would call me Sunday when the phones arrive but I have my doubts.

I'm leaving sprint and HTC evo to try one out.

Strange they would get them on Sunday. Didn't know there were companies that did deliveries on Sunday. I went to the local Best Buy mobile yesterday and they already had the Surround. He hadn't even heard of the Focus.

I'll chime in on that - I plan on being there first thing Monday, but I will call tomorrow to see if they'll sell early. I've been calling since Thursday since that's when the Captivate was being sold early, but they've been pretty adamant about not selling these early. When I did call, they mentioned I could pick it up on Sunday, but when I went into the store today, both the regional manager and store manager said I'd have to wait. I'll just call tomorrow and see who's working

I called one of the stores today and they had the Focus but wouldn't sell. Dropped by Best Buy and they showed me the Surrounds, but they didn't even know when they would get the Focus. Sucks because I think I could have one if they had them. I'll try to get one from a retail AT&T tomorrow. If not, I'm going to be late for work Monday

Does anyone know what GPS chip is getting put in this phone. If it is the same one that they put in their Galaxy S phones I'm going to have to pass. I have a Captivate and the GPS is worthless.

I've seen a lot of people concerned about that as well. All the reviews I've seen said it's much better than the Galaxy phones. So I assume its a different chipset or better drivers.

I believe it's different also since this hardware is completely different that the SGS phones. Also, Bill Gates is using it, so I'd assume it'd work or he'd be on a different phone

Just got mine...
Just home from the AT&T store.
Got a $100 "loyalty" discount, a 20% percent discount on the 32 gig memory card, (final price of $110) and 2 usb cords. Total cost out the door is $248.
The salespeople in the store knew nothing about the phone. They were asking me questions about it.
I was the first person to ask for one today.
kbanes

^^ So, they didn't wait for the 8th? How long have you been with AT&T? Let us know how you find it.

I think ill wait for the Quantum. My XDA At&t brothers look at us all gather around anticipating these devices lol.

I'm guessing he got lucky - I called 3 stores today, and none would give it out today. This includes the primary AT&T store in Houston.

Yep, I was even given a time tomorrow that they'll be allowed to give them out - 3 p.m. Not sure if I buy that, but he did say I was the only person who even asked

They didn't act like it was any big deal. I asked for one, and he just went into the back of the store and got it.
I had gone in last Wednesday to ask if they had the approved microsd card, and they said that they didn't have anything in the store yet, but that I could come in on Sunday and pick up the phone.
I'm having trouble with Zune. I can't get Zune to see the phone when I plug it into the computer. I don't know if it is because I already have a Zune 80 assigned to the computer or not.
Other than that, it is pretty snazzy.
I've been with AT&T for several years. 10 maybe? They weren't AT&T at the time...

Hey Kbanes,
What type of micro SDHC card did ATT sell you?

Got some hands on time today with Vibrant 4G

I went by the local into mobile store (which is now a direct outlet for corp store for T mobile.) and a rep I know showed me the Samsung 4g demo they just got in today. I really like the silver color in the back and the it seems to have a slightly heavier feel to it. Feels better in my hand than my Vibrant does. The demo was fast and very smooth and could not detect any lag. It was showing 4 bars of H and was very very fast downloading from market. Seemed even smoother than the custom roms I have (and have now) have used. I was a little impressed. I still do not believe it is worth an upgrade from my Vibrant but it does have me thinking. Anyone else have any comments or experience with the new 4G?

I got a friend who's a T-mobile rep and one who's a T-Mobile store manager (both at the same store) and I got to play with it a little while. It was pretty nice. It definately feels a little snappier than any of the roms I've used on my Vibrant. I'm pretty stoked about picking mine up tomorrow morning.
And for all the haters pondering as to why I would by a V4G when I already had a Vibrant? I sold my Vibrant for $250, I'm paying $200 for the V4G = no money out of my pocket. $50 extra FTW.

thats cool man... I honestly feel this phone is a decent upgrade untill the summer dual core phones drop. I also am picking one up as soon as my t-mobile opens tomorrow. I'm giving the vibrant to my smartphone virgin girlfriend who couldnt be happier to get my vibrant with bionix V and the purple theme. in turn I get a new SGS4G by starting a line for her and in 5 months im elegable for an upgrade on my line... hello dual core phone.

Yeah i got some hands on time with one a few days ago. It was nice but not impressive. The S2 will be the game changer for me not this one but it still is a nice phone, just only a tad better than the Vibrant

Did you upgrade in order to get the discounted price? If so imo that was a horrible decision with the dual core phones on the horizon and the Vibrant 4G just isn't worth the upgrade with only a few benefits over the original.

Shhhh! Don't say that.
It's cause the screen is nice, obviously...

Important note on internal app storage for the Galaxy 4g...Internal space for apps is about 210mb(1gb total for internal memory this time and the rest is the Rom, etc)...I barley put on any apps and it keeps giving me the warning that my memory is full and I need to uninstall apps even though it says I have 50mb free ...I already moved every app I can the the SD card but missing the old Vibrant's internal storage already...Not going to be so easy to just flash new ROM's either. On a positive note, the phone is fairly responsive compared to Bionix running at 1.4ghz. Of course you can tell the differance, but it doesn't feel as slow as I thought it would

He has a friend that should be fired for beating the system and causing the prices of phones to continue to go up. He should be ashamed of himself.

I picked mine up this morning and I have so say that thusfar I am impressed. Does seem to be a bit more snappy than the original, and network speeds are definitely better. I have yet to be able to test the GPS as I picked it up and came straight to work.
A coworker of mine has the original we put them side by side and with him showing a 3G signal I was getting 3000+ on the download speed where as he was only getting 700. He is running the official Froyo update.

thats with 2 year contract, and i believe you didnt have one before otherwise you wouldn't be able to upgrade for that price....

You can upgrade before the 2 year mark. I believe you are eligible for a full upgrade discount after 22 months. You are however eligible for discounts prior to that time but it will be at a smaller discount. Lets say at phone is $199 at full discount, then it will most likely be in the $300 - $350 range at one year. I hope that makes sense.

Also note the Vibrant 4G is selling for $149 on amazon right now. Don't tell anyone.

not really sure where to ask this since there isnt a V4G section up yet but has anyone tried rooting this thing yet?
Edit- Right as i went back into general i saw the V4G root thread...whoops! Please ignore.

Wrong Note Received!!!

After drooling over the Note via virtually by watching a ton of youtube videos as well as reading up on everything about it I could find, I finally was ready to buy it (after had borrowing the money to get it). I knew I wanted the GT-N7000 version over the US AT&T model, mainly because of the better processor and I really like that Video Maker app, as well as a bunch of other things. I ordered my International Note through Amazon, with Prime Shipping! I placed the order for it last Wednesday afternoon, but it was not scheduled to arrive until Today, Monday. Woke up early, just to make sure I was handed the package and it wasn't thrown to my front door, ... I immediately felt something was wrong when I saw the box. It was in a longer than needed rectangular box, with both sides pushed in, to where you could actually reach in and pull the phone out of the box.
When I opened the box, too look at what was in there, first thing I noticed was that the phone box was not plastic wrapped, second thing, the AT&T logo on the box!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I wasn't really upset as I should of been, but the feeling of waiting over the weekend for Monday to come started back up again, as I knew I was going to have to return this phone, and wait for it to go through the process of mailing it back, waiting for the refund to go through, then reordering it from someone else, and waiting for it to arrive again.
The dealer I bought it from was MasterDeals Inc on Amazon. I will definitely not be buying anything from them in the future.
What a huge letdown this was, after having that NOTE FEVER for several weeks, then for it to end this way was a big disappointment. I hope the next one that gets shipped to me is the correct model.
I got to hold it for but a brief instance, my baby and I will meet again soon.

Sorry to hear that, it should all get sorted out as the product you purchased was a N-7000 and not the ATT Note.

Man that really sucks I am planning on ordering another note from amazon for my wife and I want to make sure that doesn't happen to me. I just noticed the reseller who is selling through Amazon that I was planning on buying through has two different pictures one for att and one for international ill have to be careful. Good luck on your return I hope they get you all sorted quickly it really is an amazing device.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk

When ordering online they don't specify which version it is? I'm sorry to hear that ... regardless, I'm sure it'll get straightened out.

UPDATE: 4/6/12
After what happened, which I posted above, I am glad to say I am now a VERY HAPPY GT-N7000 Note owner.
How it happened.
After opening the package which I had received on Monday 4/2/12, I immediately packaged it back up and sent it back, due to the fact that the seller had sent me the AT&T model, which I did not order.
Amazon's customer service emailed me the pre-paid UPS postage to include on the box, and I went to the nearest UPS drop off location and sent it. This was about 3:45 pm.
On Wednesday, at 12:00 PM, I had received a email from Amazon saying they had received the return, and were processing it and would email me back once the refund was submitted. That evening around 6:00 pm, I had received the email saying the amount I spent on the phone, $609.99, was being refunded back to the card I had used for the purchase. That was good enough for me.
3 Hours later or so, I reordered the Note from Yapper Wireless on Amazon. This was after receiving response emails from them that they were in fact selling the GT-N7000 model, so I placed the order around 9:00 pm that night.
Since I am a Amazon Prime member, I only had to pay $3.99 to have my order sent via 1 day shipping, which I did, as I wanted it before the weekend.
Thankfully, it did arrive this morning, Friday, at 11:00 am. Keeping my fingers crossed, I opened the box, and immediately seen that it was in fact the GT-N7000 WHITE model.
The phone box was not plastic wrapped, and after looking in the box, I noticed why, the seller took out the international plug adapter, and replaced it with the US Samsung one, which I was happy about.
Next I installed a screen protector, which I am not sure I will keep on, then installed my 32GB Samsung Class 10 Micro SD card, and installed my Straight Talk sim card. Followed the instructions on the Straight Talk website, activated the sim, picked the $45 a month Unlimited plan, and entered the APN settings that can be found on this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1487293 Thanks to Hirudin for posting it.
I first tried a call, Worked.
Text message, Worked.
Took a pic and sent it (MMS), Worked.
Again, I was VERY HAPPY! It's feels good to have unlimited minutes again, after being SO limited as I was with my 300 minutes a month $35 Virgin Mobile plan.
Next step, downloaded Speed Test to test the network.
Turned off WiFi (of course), Began Test.
I noticed in the status bar, It was going from 3G to H+, but then stayed on H+, this test was taking inside my house.
Results:
3.1 MBPS Down
1.2 MBPS Up
I am located in Fremont, CA .. the Bay Area.
I again, VERY HAPPY with these speeds, I would be lucky to get 100 KBPS Down with Virgin Mobile, which of course runs off of Sprints network.
I then went to the Google Play store on my computer, signed in with the email associated with my phone, and went to Devices under account settings, I was once again VERY HAPPY to see that it shows my carrier as AT&T!
The phone is on the charger now, I haven't really got into it yet, but I can say that this is definitely the BEST phone I have ever owned, and yes I did once own and use the iPhone 4. I am so excited to FINALLY have my very own Note, and I can't wait to start using it and customizing it to my liking. I look forward to May 22, when Samsung announces the S III, and hopefully whatever specs this new phones has, hardware wise, will make it into the Note 2. Quad Core/2GB Ram/12-16 Megapixel Camera/etc. I just hope the Note 2 at least keeps the same size screen, if not go slightly bigger!
Sorry for the long post, I just wanted to share my experience with everyone, and yes, the Note/Straight Talk combination works flawlessly! Highly recommended if you don't like spending $100+ on your phone bill.
Long Live the Note/Hail to the King Baby!

Gotta love those happy endings.
And don't worry about the phone being on 3G, mine does the same. It switches to H+ when it starts pulling data, and goes back to 3G when it's finished; i think it's a power saving measure.

Wow from disaster to awesome, all sorted within the week. Sounds like you and amazon worked really fast to fix the problem. Congrats on getting the right note and I could almost feel your optimism while reading through lol!
Too many times ppl get hung up on bad mouthing a company due to a problem and take ages to get it fixed. You on the other hand named and shamed vowing never to buy from again (same thing I would do) and then got on with getting your phone
There really is no going back to a smaller device for ppl who use their phone other than calls. Loved my Dell Streak for year and a half and now I love my note. 5" is the future.
Enjoy your device buddy wd.

Yeah, I am glad it all worked out in the end. I know what you mean about not going back to a smaller device, I don't think I could do it, or at least I know I wouldn't want to.

Actually it bounces back from H+ to 3G as soon as your phone is idle for a couple of seconds or your throughput is below a certain threshold. This is controlled by the network and not your phone. The wireless medium is shared between many users, this is done to free up the limited resources for the users actually needing H+ and throw back everyone who doesn't need it to 3G.

Take it back and wait for the 32GB?

Before you start... yes.. i know it's a personal decision.. which is why i'm asking YOU. What's would YOU do in my shoes?... let's begin
I bought a 16gb a week ago. I have a ton of accessories coming in tomorrow for it. BGR dropped a screenshot of a 32GB model (along with a Galaxy Nexus II).
http://www.bgr.com/2012/10/03/google-nexus-7-32gb-galaxy-nexus-ii-rumor/
My only complaint about this tablet is the 16GB of storage... so here are the options.
A) Take it back and wait - I still have my xoom wifi with 32gb... which is why i'm spoiled on that storage amount
B) keep it and either sell it or give it away once the new one comes out and buy it outright - My mother or my sister would likely be getting this one while the other got my xoom. I hesitate on this one becuase I'm probably not going to get anything close to what I paid for it.
What would XDA do? chime in.

C) I wouldn't have bought it in the first place if 16GB wasn't enough for me.

If you really think you need the extra memory send it back.
With USB working on the nexus now storage is really no problem any more.With stick drives to hold video the 16gig n7 holds lots of apps.jmo

Wait for the next best one.
Then
Wait for something better than that.

Storage isn't a problem for my device.

If you already have a tablet I'd say return the Nexus and wait for the 32 GB to drop, the thing is we have no idea when it could be. It may be next week, it may be black Friday or it may be Christmas.
I have the 8 GB that I bought a little over a month ago and when I'm sure the 32 GB is readily available (like I can go into staples and buy it) I'm going to sell my 8 GB for it and be happy with it for a while until e next big thing comes out next year.

No, return it and pick up the 32gb one. You've only had it a week and you just found out there is one with larger internal storage coming next week. Office Depot already has it listed on its website, though it's not available for purchase just yet. Staples has it in its warehouse right now waiting for the streetdate. This isn't a case of "Well, the Nexus 10 is coming soon, and there's a new Asus coming next spring", this is a case where you know it's coming in a week or two. Yes, otg storage fixes the issue nicely and cloud storage works great, but if you can do it and not have to go through any amount of serious trouble to do so, why not? It doubles the space you have internally right now in addition to the cloud and otg storage. There literally is no downside to returning it and picking up the newer model aside from having to run setup again. At the very least pay close attention on Monday when Google has their announcement, find out how long a wait it will be to get it. I'm fairly confident it'll be available within a week or two of the announcement.

Return it. 16 is too small. USB OTG is OK but still a pain in the butt.

Nothing will happen if you keep on waiting for the next big thing.
Just enjoy and don't look back.
There are alternatives to address the storage issue.

Again, we're not talking about a theoretical tablet that may be coming someday soon, we're talking about an upgraded Nexus 7 that some lucky people have already been able to buy. I really don't understand some of the posts in this thread talking this guy out of swapping it out, it almost sounds like sour grapes here. "I'm stuck with a 16gb tablet, why should this guy luck out?" You're telling me that, given the chance, you wouldn't wait a couple of days and drive down to wherever you bought your tablet from and exchange it for one with twice the storage at zero cost to you? This may possibly get pushed back just a bit because of the Google announcement being cancelled, but you know it's coming within the next week or so, so go ahead and make the exchange.

Return it and get 32GB, even if you dont use all the storage at least you have it. I pre-ordered my 16GB from play, im now miffed theres a 32GB one as im always short on space. I use OTG but its messy compared to on-board storage, cloud space is all well and good when you have WiFi but frustrating when out and about. Gonna buy a 32GB when they come out then give 16GB to Mrs

More memory = greater power drain? Might be negligible though.
Also, storing tons of apps/media on the device may slow it down.
FWIW, I have had a 32GB SDcard in my Android Smartphone for about a year now, and 20GB is still free.
If both were the same price, I'd get the 32GB version.

UPDATE:
So after calling a local Staples they confirmed they had a 32gb nexus 7 in stock, but no amount of sweet talk would convince the sales lady to let me buy one. She is going to hold one for me until tomorrow morning though. Luckily I found the 32gb Nexus 7 listed at office depots website last night.. mysteriously that listing has disappeared today ... hmmmmm. I will swear to you on my life.. that the listing did in fact exist on the office depot website. Anyway.. it prompted me to list my N7 on which I just returned from selling.
So.. the current state of affairs is the 16gb Nexus is sold (got $220 for it), and staples is currently holding one for me to pick up tomorrow barring any disastrous acts of God or nature.
