I placed an order for the Incredible last week with Verizon. Expecting to receive it the NEXT day, I waited 2 days, the weekend, and all of Monday for this thing since you have to sign for the package. I finally call Verizon...
"Thank you for calling Verizon wireless, home of the HTC Incredible, how can I help you?"
Come to find out they are all on back order until June. Not once did they communicate this to me and I found it to be quite annoying. How are you going to put up advertisements all over and even answer your phone "home of the Incredible," but not even have the damn phone available?
Sucks to Verizon!
I will wait, but I've been having wet dreams about this phone for days, now I have to wait another 3 weeks!
Again, Sucks to Verizon!
Its not Verizon's fault HTC cant manufacture enough because of the limited about of amoled displays coming from samsung. This phone is sold out everywhere.
I tried Verizon, they were out. I tried online, they were all backordered. I tried Best Buy...found one 35 minutes away that had 4 in stock. I got it through them for $200, same as it would have been through Verizon but the rebate was instant. I am not usually a fan of BB but this time I was happy to purchase from them!

I find it hard to believe you ordered it last week and never saw/received a warning about being backordered, as it's been on backorder for a while now.
There are component shortages, believe me, Verizon would love to have them in stock because they're making less money with people not wanting to backorder, which increases the chance they'll buy the EVO or wait for iPhone4.
regardless of what you think, the same thing happened to me. i was assured by customer service that the phone was only out of stock in the store. they said they had plenty in the 'warehouse' but it was only when I ordered the phone with overnight shipping that I found out it truly was on backorder when it didn't show up the next day

cant bc Verizon is doing me a favor by letting me upgrade early. I was havin issues with my tp2
i pre-ordered mine on 4/25, thank god i got it on 29th ^^
I bought mine on May 10th and at the time all of the Verizon Dealers were already sold out, I found three Best Buy in my local area that had at least one. The one I went to had 3 in stock.
I believe they have been on backorder for sometime now. People seem to hear what they wanna hear when purchasing a new toy
Have a friend who bought one at Wal*Mart last night for $149.
I bought mine at bestbuy last night

I think his main gripe is getting it from Verizon directly. All I'm simply saying is that phone has said its on back order since a few days after it was released
I got lucky, their website said shipping out 5/29, well.. I have had this phone about a week now.. just be patient and it will come early.

That's what the site said when I ordered mine on the 9th. I hope I get mine before then. They already billed me!
[/jealous]
I ordered mine online on 5/1 wasn't suppose to ship until 5/14, received it 5/5.
anything changing for people with when you're getting your phones? Anyone order thier phone on the 13th and have any specific information? All Verizon's CSR's keep saying is "6/1 blah blah blah"
I ordered mine on the 14th and its supposed to get here around 6/1 to, so i wouldn't expect it any sooner, but be happy if it comes early
I just opened an email that said mine has shipped. When I checked the tracking number on FedEx, I read they sent it Priority Overnight... but it's not expected to be here until Monday.
I hope it somehow shows up tomorrow so I'll have time to play with it before the work week starts. And wouldn't ya know it, I have a staff meeting on Monday and can't be here to sign for it. haha
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...

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 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
I called and complained to Verizon about the LTE upgrade and the woman was very nice and sent me a box. I just dropped my xoom off at FedEx to head in for upgrade. Maybe if you call they will do the same or I just got lucky. Just wanted to give everyone a heads up!
Sent from your Moms EVO using 4G speed
So what's the end result? When do you get your Xoom back?
I called and they didn't offer anything. 6 1/2 months and still nothing!!!
4g is no good for me Verizon doesn't even have it here in the part of georgia i live in..yet they have it in Atlanta..sucks...oh well.Then when i asked them when it would be available in my area they said have no idea...argh
The retention rep pretended to be out of the office when I called.
Got it back yesterday, all is good, was wiped clean, not any real changes I can see. I'm in the Tampa market and I can say Verizon 4g kicks sprints 4gs ass hard. If I could get my unlimited sprint plans on Verizon I would change today.

Wow, really?! No smiley or anything? You think he's just plain lying?
If this were the Moto support forums, I'd want to see pics too because it gets pretty deep over there. This site does not truck with BS artists and those things have a way of working themselves out here. I trust the OP more than the whole batch of Motoxprts combined. (They aren't all pieces of crap but they had a bit of a credibility problem for a while there. I can understand the caution, but I'm content with the OP's statement.)

"Caroline" Verizon customer service ID 2047489
Im calling BS till Pictures are shown of the upgraded device. I spoke with both Motorola and Verizon yesterday for approximately an hour each, Supervisors in customer retention et cetra, they sure were not offering to send a box to my door to ship it to moto for a upgrade (I know, I asked) spoke to "Caroline" Verizon customer service ID 2047489 and her supervisor. Try giving them a call their as clueless as the deceptive Motorola staff.
i already have a box for a different issue. You think if I send it in they will fix it and throw the lte upgrade in for the heck of it?
How about going into settings and getting a pic of u holding up ur 4g upgraded xoom. Where it shows the build and version. The reason it's hard to believe is that so many of us have called and gotten no box to ship ours out. I have called and gone to every vzw store within 150 miles. None of them have had a xoom upgraded yet. As far as I'm concerned motor can send my 2 4g cards to my door! The damn bionic is crap! Why would I trust a cheap tech to put my cards in without screwing them up?
Sent from my Xoom using xda premium
As soon as I figure out how to get a pic on here I will. I just called and said I was told I was getting a box to send it in. The person didn't have a clue what I was talking about and got a supervisor that did know, she apologized and sent me a box, it was that easy. She probably wasn't suppose to do it but all Verizon employees and Verizon contractors as well as fortune 500 customers have all received the upgrade. It does exist.
Sent from my Xoom using XDA App
i find it interesting that verizon would offer to send you a box since, to the best of my knowledge, motorola is the one performing the upgrade?
not calling BS, just a little odd that vzw would be sending it.
I work for Verizon Wireless Corp here in Lansing Michigan as a retail sales rep. I had sent my xoom tablet in a couple of weeks ago during an Employee Only offering to test the process of upgrades to the Motorola Xoom. The whole process took about 4 days including the ordering of the box they send you. Was kinda hesitant due to the fact that I really customized alot of settings ... apps that arent avail any more..etc., So I sent it in without backing anything up (took a "Big" risk of losing my stuff), once I got it back my xoom had plastic protection on the screen , documentation of what was installed and a new build number " HLK42B ". Once I turned my device back on with fingers crossed.... all of my apps, movies, settings everything was how i left It. Was very satisfied with the care they took and notifing me along the way by email once recieved, completed , and sent from repair location. The 4G in my area is beyong what I expected. For those on the fence well worth sending it in.

Lol I'm with you on that one.
I call BS on the OP unless he's a Verizon employee, which it doesn't sound like.
Been a member on the forums since 2008 and still doesn't know how to attach a pic...lol?
Oh well, we're still waiting. I've called, gone into Stores, came out with diddly. Sent a complaint to the State Attorney General of Oregon about it to see if that expedites anything.
And the Fortune 500 Customer thing doesn't make sense to me. I'm an IBM employee, have my IBM discount, last I checked we were at #18 on the Fortune 500 list. I get no preferential treatment....weird
I still have my March 4th email promising the 4G upgrade " Coming Soon ". I don't think anyone would agree that 7 months was soon.
I just got off the phone with Motorola Support (800-734-5870). They still told me end of this month. I very politely asked him to look at the nearest calendar and tell me what date it says...these guys are idiots and MOT is a joke.
Hello all,
I was just wondering when the expected release date of the SIII on AT&T in the US was. I know there has been very little, if any, official word on the subject, but I am sure the experts here could make an accurate assumption for release.
Thanks,
~Bucky
Wouldn't expect any specific date confirmation for a couple weeks. Im thinking last week of June hopefully. Possibly price ranges of $199-$399 respectively buuuuuuuut thats just my guess hahaha
If anyone hears anyting post it up.
I was talking to a rep the other day from AT&T, he googled it when I asked him when the launch date was. Needless to say, I'll believe it when I see it....too much misinfo going around.
http://thedroidguy.com/2012/06/att-pushes-back-samsung-galaxy-s3-release-date-to-june-28th/
See:
****Correction***** The Samsung Galaxy SIII will be available in AT&T stores on 6/21. We’re getting conflicting reports, but we received words from AT&T reps that the phones should be available by tomorrow in stores! Apologize for any confusion! also, see below for T-Mobile’s release plan.

Anyway, he let me listen to some of the "class" they went through (he was allowed to record it). It was basically a "how to market the sgs3" seminar.

While the 28th is very unfortunate there really isn't anything we can do about it. I wish they would of let people who wanted "no commitment" have the ability to pre-order. I wouldn't be in this predicament, having to wait to the 28th, if that were the case.

This will replace my Note 4.
I just hope it really turns out to be the phone every youtube reviewer says it is
Agree. Would like to know before shelling out $850 with tax and 15% restock fee if I want to return it. Been spending a lot of time on t-mobile site looking at plans over the past week just in case.
Saw your work on the N7. Good to see you're here too.
My hunch is that it's locked down. Hope I'm 100% wrong.

Same here, pre ordered today.
Went from the Note 7, then bought a Nexus 6p.
Figured I'd take a shot at LG for the very first time. Hearing the BL is locked is sort of a bummer. Hopefully things will get worked out sooner rather than later.
I went to my local store to pre-order. They had the phones in stock, but wouldn't sell one to me even though I'm still rocking the note 7. They did hold one for me for monday though. Also they're allowing me to trade in an iPhone 4s for the $200 credit.

I called the store today as ell, but they had none in stock, and told me to call back next Friday lol. Figures.
I'm hoping for a Monday delivery day. Gotta return my 5p tomorrow and activate my incredibly, super old HTC EVO 3D.......Ya baby!
Not sure why Monday but the boss said they were selling them starting Monday. I'm also not sure what difference 2 days makes. I would have been super happy to walk out with a v20 today. The salesmen already had one, but he got yelled at for selling himself one.
