Just found this little tidbit while reading some info about this phone. It looks like IntoMobile received an invite to a Samsung launch party for an unannounced device. Guess we'll find out in a few weeks.
Can't post link since I'm new...doh
But is this for Tmobile or is it for all the U.S. carriers? I don't want to wait for like 3 months of Tmobile exclusivity until it comes to at&t.
Yea, I wish they would hurry up and announce a carrier. Hopefully it will come out to all 4 carriers so that nobody will be left out.
I've pasted the info from IntoMobile below:
"There are a lot of rumors about the Samsung Galaxy S launch date floating around the interwebs, but we’ve just received something that might point to a more reliable launch window for Samsung’s upcoming flagship Android phone. We’ve just been asked to save June 29th on our calendars for some mysterious Samsung launch party in New York City. Details are slim (well, none) at this point, but the invite to the smartphone maker’s launch event gets our speculative juices flowing.
The invite informs us that “Samsung Mobile brings you the next generation in Android phones.” Now, if you’ve been keeping up with Galaxy S rumors at all, you’ll know that this particular smartphone boasts a Super AMOLED display, the Hummingbird graphical powerhouse GPU, and is powered by the Android 2.1 OS. All that adds up to what is very likely considered by the South Korean mobile phone giant to be their next generation of Android phones.
Other rumors have the Galaxy S hitting T-Mobile (NYSE: DT) on July 21st. There’s also the possibility that the handset will hit AT&T (NYSE: T) later this year. We could see the handset being launched for one of these (or both) carriers on June 29th, but that’s just speculation. We really have no idea what this launch party is for, but we’d wager that it has something to do with the Galaxy."
I"m not sure I understand why it is so important to keep it all secret. While they go on and on not telling us anything, some folks will get tired of waiting and buy something else. I guess that's why I'm not in marketing...because some things just don't make sense to me.
Agreed. I just want the device as soon as possible. I don't know if it's only getting limited release because of quantity limitations or what, but they know they're going to sell a ton here in the US, why not just get it here?
June 29th?! Nice, that is same date they unveiled the SGS for US carriers! Here is hoping for another mid-july release!

I think you will find that could be what this thread was about, have a look at the dates posted. You're posting in a 11 month old thread.
According to a handful of websites the Droid X "has been arriving at customer's doorsteps" early
my question is HOW??? There is nowhere to pre-order the Droid X online or on the phone, so how the hell are "customers" receiving them early??
Best Buy you have to physically be in the store to pick up the pre-order as they do not take your address or anything when you pre-order, wtf are they babbling about??

EDIT- Apparently if you had ordered an Incredible and were told it was backlogged and switched to X, then u get urs early
Dude, you can order them from Verizon stores and have them shipped to you. I also think there was a way to pre order online or by phone.
I am with the first dude. I was really under the impression that Verizon did NOT except any pre-orders, just BB. I have read so many articles and have been in the Verizon store many times. The closest Verizon came to taking pre-orders that I know of is making in store appointments for the 15th or allowing people the already order the incredable to switch.
Actually the early Droid X arriving was a mistake on Verizon customer service system part , has nothing to do with the Droid Incredible, they accidentally shipped out 170 units to customer but they couldn't even activate them until a few days ago where Verizon figured out how to early activate these early bird device b4 the July 15th launch date.

Ok sorry, i am still not getting it or making my point. Why did verizon ship out any phones to customers if verizon did not take pre-orders? I can see them maybe shipping some out early to stores in error. Pre-orders still had to take place for Verizon to have the addresses to send these phones in error. And all web info indicates that Verizon did not allow or take pre-orders.

EXACTLY!!
Why are cutomers getting phones when there was no possible way to "pre-order" staright from verizon????
I went into a corporate store and tried to order and they told me to come back the 15th first come first serve!!
For whatever reason, the 170 people who got their phones first were by a rep that somehow got the order in, or by people who had been waiting for incredibles but changed to the droid.
Or they are just trying to build the buzz for the official launch. Be interesting to see if these early releases are spread out across the country and most of them close to major markets.

My thoughts exactly...
Went in today and played with it... must say it feels very good in-hand. Buttons were NOT wonky. Screen was gorgeous, and was very thin and light. Did not feel cheap in any way!!!!!! : )
... so excited for thursday!
man, i also cant wait for tomorrow. I luckaly have the day off but i have my 9mo old son with me so i really cant go too early and stand in line for hours. I am really nervous that people will be "camping out" way early and that i will not get my hands on one. I guess i have to mentally prepare to be dissapointed.
I am also wondering if the hype is blown up and if there will really be lines for hours. I guess time will tell. i hope everyone here that wants one and thats is as excited as i am gets one.
According to this you won't have to worry, plenty of supply

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...
Droid Incredible Rooted!
Moved to general as not android development

Well, what's the word? Have you received it yet?
Sent from my SGH-I897 using XDA App
Early early release

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.
Me:Hello, The Xperia Arc launches on the 28th, I was wondering if it will come in a Silver color as well? Or only black/blue?

...but we won't answer you question but put some generic replay template and send it to you.
It OK! they may sell it and reveal it after launch on 28th. it may be exclusively to best buy? here in the US this is what would happen. any other color goes to Best Buy.
We will see.
i just asked the same question over at redboard.rogers.com, just waiting for a reply now.
6 more days til launch
Rogers' Customer Support E-mail service never actually helps you with anything as far as my experience goes with them. I'd try calling the customer service and see if they fare any better, but if not, release is just around the corner anyways...
How do you guys know for sure it launches April 28th on Rogers? I heard from a rep its May 2nd.. but not sure if he knew 100% either
Bah at least you got an answer....
I think i subscribed 3 times already to their pre order thing ( yes great programming there.... ) and never got the call on the week of the 15th or anything since then
Plus I called the Customer Relation departement two , three times to see if the reason I wasnt contacted was because I'm not eligible to an upgrade and couldnt get a stupid answer...
They won't even speak of pricing or anything , even less release date, even tho Rogers officially announced it.
The only bit of information that I managed to get was:
"It is launching before May"
So i doubt the may 2nd date is valid =|
well if it helps confirm that its the 28th, i pre-ordered mine from a sony style store and they are getting it for sure on the 28th, which would mean rogers will as well.
i had a chance to play with it in store the other day, man is it fast! i had an iphone 4 and an atrix prior and to be honest i see no difference in speed between dual cores and single cores. maybe a second or two delay in opening heavier applications but thats about it. either way, cannot wait till thursday
I've had a preorder with MobiCity since early March and just received the following communication from them:
We appreciate your recent order with us and have an update for you. Please read below for the latest information.
Your ETA/item status is - Release has been pushed back to mid-late April due to component supply issues. This affects all outright HTC One at this stage and only officially confirmed to us by HTC yesterday. If stocks are avialable earlier we will source immediately. Apologies for the delay. Alternate models are available (such as Sony Xperia Z - White), so please contact us should you wish to make a change.
Your order status is Pending Fulfilment A.
Damnit! Anyone else received anything like this from their supplier of choice?
Let us know!
Damn. I was planning on getting one for my birthday. At this rate it might not arrive for a while after then.
Does anyone know when Telstra will get the handset?
