Just gotta brag a little bit. The cell phone provider I work for is going to be getting the Nexus One in the near future, and I was picked to test it for them! I should be getting it sometime in the next couple weeks (Upper management is ahead of me on the list), and will only get to test it for a week, but none the less I am very excited! Best of all, I get my handset discount again in March, and I know what I will be using it on!
you shouldnt be so happy, once you try the nexus one i know at the end of that week theyll be prying it out of your hands... with no success

Yeah, when my manager came in today to tell me I jumped up and down like a little girl! I was only going to get 4 days, but she is giving me 3 of hers just because. It will be hard for me to give it up, very hard! But I will be able to knowing coming March I will be getting my very own, for whatever the after rebate price! Gotta love good job perks!

Enjoy your phone
I looked in my email today to some surprising information. As many of you know Best Buy purchases the phones from the company therefore we can sell the phone at OUR price with NO rebates.
The new contract price will be $199. thats all i know. and all anyone knows. the phone will be released the second week of june. I get a hands on with the device on may 17th. soooo pumped. and i will keep you all updated the more i find out. that is 2 days before the may 19th event in new york. but anyways im pumped. you should be too.
Its going to be information over load soon enough and I for one can't wait

Am I the only person who laughs when i hear 'geek squad' and 'protection' or warranty in the same sentence, and being used in a good way.

I'm an adult, I know tomorrow is just another Friday. But, I feel like it's X-mas (you can add the 'Christ' if you want). I don't know if I'll be able to sleep. I've been counting off the days for weeks now. I plan on getting up extra early so I can be at the Sprint store promptly at 8 am. I plan to get to work a wee-bit late and showing off my new toy. I'm as happy as a little guuurrrrlll.

Yeah, i don't feel like this since SOCOM 3 for PS2 back in October 11, 2005
That is EXACTLY what is feels like, and I just told one of my friends at lunch that I feel like a kid waiting for Christmas morning so I can unwrap my toy. I swear I'm obsessed with this phone... I check various blog sites and forums multiple times a day to see if there's any new news. I just hope not to feel let down after I've unwrapped my toy and the anticipation is over.

This is exactly what I do. I sort of feel like I've already seen enough trailers for the EVO movie, so when I do finally open it up I won't have as much anticipation or shock because I've already seen all the videos, reviews, photos, disassembled EVO, etc. I'm not going to have the shock values as "WTF! This thing is HUGE! What's this? What's that?"

I couldn't have said it better myself!
I have to agree - it is kinda like Christmas -- and I'm picking up 2 EVO's around 11:00 am tomorrow.
The root is available, the phone is available - just gonna be a good day tomorrow.
I'm almost too tired from waiting - to go pick them up ..... almost
Mule
Same here except for the part about being happy like a little guuurrrrlll
Since some people (Google I/O attendees and Ebay buyers) had an early Christmas already, tomorrow seems more like "Festivus" for the rest of us.
I challenge you to the feats of strengths. After that, the airing of grievances.
I can't freaking wait! This is just so exciting, getting up early tomorrow to be at the store by 730
The reason it is like Christmas is because I will be up so freaking early to get to The Shack before 0600...
Is Radio Shack even open that early?
Just confirmed that my Radio Shack has received their shipment.
I have a 7:00AM appointment.
This is soooooooooooo thrillling!
I need to take a sleeping pill so I can make it through the night.
No.....
how do you guys feel about Sprint?

Ehh they $$ are sometime over limited. But in my area sprint works the best, Below that is ATT then T-Mobile. and VZW is last.
I called my Best Buy to see if they can get me an earlier slot, and they told me I can just activate over the phone at 10AM and then pay when I pick it up (any time after activation).
It definitely feels like Christmas tomorrow. I've been counting down the days since I put it on pre-order, and now I'm counting down the hours. 12 more hours to go! And since I'll be sleeping for 8 of them, that means only 4 more hours of actual awake time!
really wanting to purchase a Note stateside, and i refuse to wait for at&t to get their act together on that front... i was wondering if anyone has purchased said item (or any item for that matter) from bestnydepot.com , just wary about getting scammed out of my hard earned cash... can anyone tell me if this is a reputable business?

For 755usd I can buy it for you and send it with fast/insured EMS/Datapost shipping. So you can rest assured you will get your brand new Note.
I would trust me far more, than most scammers/scam websites out there..

Just order it from L2D2 http://www.l2d2online.com/samsung-galaxy-note-black.html
I would be very very very very careful dealing with bestnydepot, I wouldn't trust them with my CC.
I called bestnydepot after wondering the exact same thing. I talked to the representative on the phone, and he stated that the price is accurate, but that they just happened to run out of stock earlier that day and would not have more coming in for another 2-3 weeks. Riiiight.
Needless to say, I ordered from L2D2 half an hour later. The price is still fantastic and I gain the peace of mind knowing that I'm dealing with a much more reputable company.
Looks like Amazon is shipping it as well http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0061YRDX6/
Guys, please share your shopping experience of L2D2.

So far so good. I have not got my unit yet but I ordered it on Friday afternoon thinking it would not ship until Monday but later that day received a tracking number showing Tuesday. So from a processing time perspective I give them excellent service. I will let you know how it goes when the product arrives.
Wait, you ordered it Friday afternoon? I'm assuming before 1 PM EST, right? I'm asking because I ordered it on Friday as well, but at around 5 PM EST.
Also, I'm incredibly glad to hear that you got a tracking number. I was worried that they would try to pull the whole 'take your money now and ship the phone when we get it in stock' deal.
Yep, ordered it at 2:30 and got the tracking number slightly before 6. As long as its a Note in the box and not a brick, I will be happy.
Arrggh, if only I had known of L2D2 earlier that afternoon. Oh well, I decided to pay $15 for UPS 2 Day shipping, so it should be in my hands by Wednesday.
I'm sorry, did I say 'should'? I meant to say it'd BETTER. I'M FOAMING AT THE MOUTH HERE ARGGHH. After all, I didn't pay extra for tardiness.
Thanks guys Keep updated!
I ordered late Friday night. Order still "processing"
edit: clarification - from L2D2

I really don't know why I didn't create an account before making the order with L2D2. Now I'm going crazy wondering about my order status. PickleHead, since we're in the same boat, can you keep us posted in regards to yours?

I gave L2D2 a call and they said any order made over the weekend has stock and they're shipping mine out today. If you call them, they can look it up by name and maybe even make you an account so you can check it yourself.
Thanks for the advice. I called them up just now and they told me it would be shipped out later this evening. If you chose UPS, the pick up time is usually around 5:30-6 PM EST.

I went with priority, USPS has locked package boxes here!
Ah, that's good to hear; in our minds, nothing is quite as important right now as getting that phone in our hands . It looks like our shipments are going to be racing each other! Since I paid for two day air shipping, though, I'm fully expecting to have the phone on Wednesday, regardless of when it's getting picked up.

USPS says priority should get here on wednesday, thursday if the pickup time it later... the race is on!!!
Only 5 days to go until the official release in the UK, and I was wondering how many people have taken the day off work specifically to collect their new phone?
I'm not personally, but I have a brother who works for CPW who said their deliveries usually come in on the Tuesday, so I may have mine a day before release!
One other thing, after watching all the videos out there, I feel I am expecting this phone to completely blow me away. Do you guys think it's really going to be all that and a bag of chips?
Cheers,
BS...
I'm taking the day off, but that's mostly because there's no guarantee what time it will be delivered at my workplace and I start early and finish early. I don't want to have to hang around the office all day for it to arrive at 5:00 so I'm taking the day off and collecting it from the VodaGroan shop.
The "all that" thing is going to be largely down to useage and expectations, I'm a heavy user, but I'm just expecting it to be better than my SGS1. This phone isn't going to cook my dinner, rub my shoulders, etc, it's just going to be for browsing the web, listening to music and playing games.
i wouldnt waste a days holiday to sit around waiting for a phone....its just a phone
it will still be there when i get home from work, and a phone doesnt rule my life....

No discount unfortunately, and I've gone on contract with 3, moving from a SGS1 on Vodafone. I also have the SGS2 through o2 as my work phone, so I will briefly have all 3 SGS phones, until someone buys my SGS1 off me.

I have phoned my local Carphone Warehouse store, and they have told me that they will be getting their stock on the 29th, but they are "not allowed" to sell them until the 30th. They will be available from 9:00am.
General and launch discussion should be directed here.
Thank you.
