Went to Best Buy today and pre ordered the Incredible. Cant wait for the 29th! upgrading from a G1 running on ATT. So happy to get rid of ATT!
Best Buy turns the $100 mail-in rebate into an instant rebate, so its $199 in store.
Anybody else get theirs on order today??

I went to my local best buy store too. They said only 2 ppl had pre-ordered all day. I heard they do not honor the new every two discount so I'm sure alot of ppl will pre-order via vzw online tomorrow. I'm actually really surprised that there has not been any vzw htc incredible commercials. I have seen plenty of vzw moto droid commercials. I would think that they would want to take advantage of the large viewing audeinces watching both the NBA and NHL playoffs, but I guess not. I suspect that Incredible may not be as big to the general public as the moto droid was. Which is fine with me I talked to a CSR @ vzw and she told me that the incredible is shown as in stock and there was no note on the device stating that it would not ship before 4/29. She did say the launch date for all channels (stores/webstores) is 4/29. Best buy told me that pre-ordered phones can be picked up on or after 4/29.
when i went to BB one of the mobile guys asked if he could help me...i asked him about the pre order and he didnt know anything about it. Had to ask his manager what that was, so im guessing they hadnt done any pre orders that day.
I love android and my G1 but cant wait to get some better hardware
I was the first to pre-order at my local store. It only cost $100 to put my name in the hat for two incredibles (..and of course they gave me two $50 dollar gift cards which I will use towards my phones next next week). The girl said the store will receive a greater amount of phones if more people pre-order at that location.
if one person pre-orders, they may get 5 phones
if 15 preorder, the store will get 25 phones (examples, but she has seen other pre-orders use the 15=25 numbers)
going from At&t (no complaints) with a Kaiser (wife has a moto q9 with a broken "a" key) to verizon with two incredibles.
Wait 100$ to preorder? So you have to pay 300$ when you get the phone?
I just got my new homeowners tax refund and once the check clears tomorrow I'll be marching into Best Buy and preordering that beautiful beast of a phone. Cyanogen expects that it will be simple for his roms to work on the Incredible since its very close to N1.
Pre-Ordered mine on Monday. I asked about getting it early and the lady said no. It sucks that some people who ordered through Verizon have gotten theirs today.

There are a couple of videos up on androidfroums that show people who got theirs early
Hmmm, maybe best buy will get theirs early then.
i just got on the list with my local verizon store, they said they should have theirs by the 27th
Hmmm, I may have to cancel my preorder then.
[ strike ]I pre-ordered mine on the 19th but they still haven't charged my card. Should I have been charged? Or are they waiting till it ships to charge me? Has this happened to anyone else? I just want to make sure I'm not the only one. [ /strike ]
Ooooppps just realized that this was for best buy pre-orders, sorry
Last I read in forums was the Best Buy gets their inventory of phones on 4/24
i would leave any preorders that you did online alone, they will have it shipped to you by the 29th. if best buy or local stores get them early, they arent going to be able to give them out until the 29th anyway.
HTC Incredible is a great phone but i want to see it upclose before getting into a contract. I think it might be too plasticky but i will still get it.
There was an error at verizon on phone orders allowing them to get shipped early. They've plugged that mistake. Those lucky enough to have done a phone order on the Monday got them early.
I have mine pre ordered with Best Buy. Between my New Every Two and some BB Reward Zone certificates, I'm getting mine for ridiculous inexpensiveness!
Sorry, but I had to gloat.
Just pre ordered mine today and got Best Buy to price match Verizon on the 529.99 that big red is offering. BB wanted me to pay 599.99 but I'm not doing that.
I'm headed to my local Best Buy store to be there when the doors open at 10:00 a.m. today to pre-order the Evo... is anyone else going to get this phone right away? For those who don't know, if you gave Best Buy your email address at the Evo page on their site, they sent out an email last night around midnight pacific time saying that you could pre-order the Evo now. There doesn't seem to be any way to pre-order it online yet, so I'm gonna be at the store today! See you there?
Let's try to get an idea of which store you pre-ordered from and how many people were there, or if you're going to wait and try to get one when it comes out June 4th?
just did...10:00 Chicago!
pre-ordering the Sprint Evo 4G at 10:00 a.m. May 13, 2010
Give us the details when your done.
Amazon or wirefly will probably have it cheaper but you do go on.
awesome rockky, how did it go? for those of us who haven't preordered a phone at best buy, what can we expect? what's the process like? were there many other people there? preoorder supplies limited?

me too, STL Missouri, BB rep new but the mobile guy did not, then the mobile was shocked at the $199.99 price tag, as he looked at his iPhone in disgust. haha
Neither of them knew what they were doing and one was a manager but I have my receipt locked in the safe Christmas or Birthday eek:I will figure out what to say to the wife later) is early for me!
Just went to a seattle suburb best buy and they said I CAN'T pre-order this phone because they don't carry sprint phones in the store?! they said they can only carry 3 of the major carriers so they have verizon, att, and tmobile. i showed the email i got and they said sorry, order it online. i explained that i can't order it online because their website says to get it in the store... wow. I guess ill try radioshack even though I hate that store.
When you go into pre-order can you order it for the full price or do they only do pre-orders if you are signing a new contract?
Went to a Sprint store, and they took my name, address, phone number, and social security number, and they said that will reserve an Evo for me on the day it comes out. They said theywill get a line like they did for the Pre, but can schedule me for any time of day (after the rush dies down) so I can just walk in and choose a plan and walk out. They will call me on the 3rd (the day before it comes out) to schedule a time for me to come in. Sounds good - buying it directly from Sprint is fine with me anyway. Getting a little bit tired of Best Buy, and Radio Shack is so 1980 anyway
Well made my pre order at best buy. $50 and thats it.
Done. Leaving bestbuy as we speak
After reading online about a gift card we're supposed to get i went back and got mine. Would've been nice if the best buy guys mentioned this in the first place. Appointments are to be set on the third when they call people based on when they made the preorder. I'm 8th in line at my store
by the way, the Sprint store didn't require me to put any money down, they just took my information and said they will call me the day before. so, maybe try the sprint store if you don't have the $50 right now. the guy i dealt with was a sales manager or something to that effect and was very friendly and knowledgable, he said he guarantees i will have one reserved. no gift cards though he said they don't even know which contracts are applicable for this phone yet for sure, but he said he's pretty sure it will be "80 bucks" which makes sense based on the 450-minute plan for $69 and the $10 fee for 4G.
The store I called said they are not doing reserves or pre-orders, wtf
preordered mind at bestbuy 50dollars down cant wait to june 4
going to pre order mine later today
I just preordered at One of the BB's in Las Vegas. 50$ commitment thogh they said I could use the 50$ for something else or apply it towards the phone at release. So it's almost like a free preorder. Thogh you can't preorder if you are too broke. I went to BB, a retailer I abhor, because they weren't as dumb as the broad I talked to at radioshack two days ago and becase they always deduct mail in rebates at the time of purchase.

Just placed my order through premier earlier and then got an email 3.5 hours later saying that they are backordered...
I haven't gotten my confirmation email yet from an order I placed about four hours ago, but the Premier website shows that I have an order in progress (with no details).
Man, that didn't take long!
Yep I just heard they are out. I don't have an ETA when at&t will get more but I will post something as soon as I hear it.
I got the last one from my local ATT store, but they only had 3 total.
I got one from an AT&T store and they said they had plenty left, I guess it just depends what area you're in...

When I showed up to get mine Sunday they hadn't even put it out yet. Lol
Yeah, I was the only one so far to buy it from the RadioShack I work at, they have quite a few in the back (they haven't even made a dummy phone available for the store).
Mine is still back-ordered
Same here. I've also been trying to call the premier number and haven't been able to get through to talk to anyone. I just want an approximate date...
I got through (took about 30 minutes). They said that it would either ship the end of this week or beginning of next. I cancelled my order -- maybe I'll get the nexus one instead, and risk the wrath of my wife.
What do y'alls think? I like the small form factor of the aria, and the price is right, but ... nexus one!
i ordered mine within 30 minutes of it going on sale saturday night.. and mine was backordered...
could try Best buy... got mine from them for $130 with no need to bother with rebates

or amazon, newegg, dell, or tigerdirect. all of which have it cheaper unless you have a really good FAN discount
Yeah Newegg (Simplexity) is best price around, no FAN req'd. Ordered Sunday night, receiving 2 Arias in the mail Wednesday.
If you want to pick it up in person and actually want to PAY for the phone, go to Costco. Best in-store price, better than Best Buy.
newegg and letstalk.com both have the Aria for free right now
Just an update:
I was finally able to get through to premier yesterday, all of the other times I tried it just said to try again later. The person I talked to said that it was too late to cancel the order.
Today, I just got an email saying that my phone has shipped. Now, it's time to wait for the fedex man to arrive @ my house...
I had ordered one for my wife through premier store on monday night and it came as back ordered too. I canceled and went to my local store where they then gave it to me for $229 and $100 in free accessories. The premier store wanted $318.99... I'm glad it was on back order or I would have paid the $318.99 amount. Its no nexus, but it sure holds its own. And, apps that aren't in the app store can be installed via bump. We put shapewriter on hers last night from my nexus and it worked perfectly (shapewriter is not in app store).
Mine finally shipped...just in time for the weekend and I doubt they sprung for Saturday delivery. So tomorrow I am going to call the FedEx depot and beg for them to let me pick it up.
Ordered mine today over the phone with premier. It has been processed and shipped already. So they obviously have them in the warehouse. Good luck guys
how many people have pre-ordered the Play vs planning to purchase after release?
and whats your thoughts on pre-ordering as i still find this quite a new concept for mobile phone contracts (my last phone was a HD2 no preorder on networks) is this a good thing to do or should be be first come first served on the day?
Yes I did pre-order. Quite normal in the Netherlands, was suprised I could only pre-order since this week though since the release date here is supposed to be march 28.
im still thinking about it because Verizon has it
i did preorder on contract which i never do, im in the UK so hopefully i only need to wait 1 more week
Pre ordered sim only. Buying in the UK. hoping it ships next week.

i just spoke to buymobilephones.net customer services and thought i would share
i rang to ask about my pre order status since it didn't change since the 23rd (the day i pre ordered)
they said they wont be getting stock still late next week and will start shipping back orders when they do
i swiftly cancelled my order
if anyone knows a place that will defiantly have stock on release day and will ship on the same day i would really appreciate it
I used clove and was emailed. The play will be shipping friday

i ordered mine from box.co.uk £465. they still have 6 in stock. guaranteed latest april 1st delivery, i called them, they said they will get the shipment in today (30th) but depending on what time they get it in, they might be able to send it out today! i might have it by tomorrow but they stressed most likely it'll be friday.
funny enough, i checked buymobilephones.net today and now the site says they have both the arc and play in stock, perhaps the customer service rep i spoke to was an idiot and they will actually ship them this week
im going to contact sales tomorrow and see what response i get

i couldn't wait for your response so i just phoned them to confirm and yes, they do have them available for next day delivery
*LAST EDIT*
i decided to order, i was told to look out for an email, not the automated response
Just got it delivered from gum mobile. Impressed with it. Need more games now!

I ordered mine yesterday night from buymobilephones.net and it has been dispatched (got the tracking Code) this morning should receive it tomorrow.
Mines arrived
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
The reason I asked is because I ordered my Samsung galaxy note from phones4u on Thursday, as I read on google the release date was the 3rd. I saw it on phones4u with a deal with orange. and I bought it.
Anyhow, I was told the following day (Friday) after calling them that the phone was on pre-order, and it would be with me at 11.11.2011 at the latest!
So basically I am confused, I've read on various forums that others ordered it around the same time and received it the next day, and this is all from phones4u!
Anyone else in a similar situation?

Hey man, did you get your phone yet?
I upgraded my vodafone contract early with phones4u yesterday to the Note (from Galaxy S). They said 3 - 5 working days yada yada. I went on the online chat today just to ask if they had a more accurate date so I could arrange to be in, but the woman told me it's not released until the 17th... I'm assuming she was confusing the Note with the Nexus and gave up in the end.
Got my phone from phones4u. Just walked in to my local store and walked out with the phone, simples. This was on the release day and not online, I think you will have better luck by going in store.
Dialaphone woes
I ordered mine over a week ago from Dialaphone (subsidary of Phones4U) they gave me a delivery date of 11th November, but emailed me late last night to say no stock. Hmm.. I did an anonymous cold call to them earlier in the week, they said same thing but failed to let me know that my phone was never going to arrive today.
Luckily I ordered one from Handtec, and it arrived within 24hrs yesterday. When the Dialaphone one eventually arrives I will tell them to shove it!
Crap customer service, but Handtec saved the day with 100% satisfaction.
PS the SG Note is a dream to use!
Yeah I just walked in to phones4u on release day and bought it there and then on a brand new orange contract.
Phones4u are now saying they're awaiting stock, but still saying the "release date" is the 17th. Oh well. If I'm luck I'll get it by Friday!
Wondering if this is because I'm going through the upgrades section. I know phone companies keep their stock for new customers and for upgrades completely separate sometimes. Suppose it means they can get new customers on to contracts as quickly as possible, and keep those existing customers on hold for a while.
Either way, I can't fecking wait.
Spoke to phones4u this morning, as today (17th November) is the day they claimed that the Galaxy Note was being "released".
I have been told that they've got stock and that it's being delivered to me on Monday, so fingers crossed!
I also asked about email confirmation, as I didn't get any - at all. Apparently this is because the upgrades process is "nearly completely manual". Suppose that would make sense, and also explain why it's difficult to get stock levels accurate.
Really hope it's here by Monday!
I had the same issue going through phones4u to upgrade my orange contract and the online chat system is useless, i was told that there was no stock of the handsets by the online people, but when i spoke to an account manager they said there where plenty and it was orange who did not want me to get the deal phones4u had offered as it was reserved for new customers!!
So basically i told orange i would go to another company ie vodafone or someone like that and they soon changed there tune so now today the 17th i am waiting for royal mail to drop mine off........
still no joy with phones4u. Just phoned them and apparently they've had trouble getting the transaction to go through the till, but it should be being dispatched by special delivery this afternoon. at which point I should FINALLY get some form of email confirmation.
*sigh*
