T-mobile in store demo units?? - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Anyone know if/when t-mobile corporate stores will start getting their store demo units in? In the past they've always gotten a new device in a week or so before launch. It'd be nice to check it out in store prior to ordering from the play store.

I just talked to T-Mobile today and they said they'll probably get them a day or two before - but won't put them out on display until the 13th. I got a nice salesperson that offered to call me when they come in and let me feel it before release! :laugh: Check with your local store and maybe you'll get lucky.

Same here, the store will have it out the13th...

For Sale on the 13th or 14th?

Yeah, I was under the impression it was releasing on the 14th? If it's the 13th, then AWESOME :laugh:.

I can't get any kind of answer from the stores ..most barley know wtf I'm talking about let alone a release date for the phone
I'm going in to a higher volume store tomorrow to see if they have their phones yet ...I really want to have this phone in my hands on the 13th

^^ Same here. The 1 store near me (downtown Denver) has absolutely no idea what's going on with their launch of the Nexus 4. One employee knew what I was talking about and said he planned on ordering his unlocked tomorrow as well but said there has been no internal communication regarding display units or availability.

I just got off the phone with one by where I work in minneapolis, and they said they should have it out tomorrow or the next day.

they told me the 14th..i live in miami btw

officially on sale wednesday morning. instore only! lol. can't wait.

EVO Sells Out In-Store & Online

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...

you must have done some pretty serious convincing...
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

Still waiting for bestbuy to ship

Anyone else?

Still waiting. I called Bestbuy this morning and was unable to cancel. They said it was being shipped directly from Samsung.
Just out of curiosity, why did you guys order online instead of picking up in the store?
Stupidity. I called and asked to change to an in store pickup but was unable

Some of us ordered nearly a month ago when Best Buy first posted these on their site, to avoid any release day sell-outs.
Mine shipped this afternoon, from Hodgkins, IL FWIW. I may be returning it though since it was $199 when we ordered back then, and bestbuy.com customer service hasn't responded to my inquiry to adjust the price rather than both sides dealing with the hassle of return and repurchase.
Um, we are talking Nexus S here, there was no danger of release day sellouts.
Wow, I ordered through Sprint by phone on Sunday afternoon and will be receiving mine by the end of the day.
picked mine up at the sprint store sunday, I was surprised the guy before me was there for the same thing

What do you mean incompetence? If you mean since they sold it to you today. They upped the release date from Tuesday to today.
I thought BEST BUYS site was full of it..... the in-store option said "Available Now"
I need. Must go get.
Yeah I would go Asap. The rep I spoke to on the phone said they would be out of them quick as some stores have already reported selling out

Picked mine up this afternoon, Willow Grove, PA Best Buy, they're sold out now. I had it preordered already online for delivery, got the email at like 4am this morning saying the release date of a product you ordered had changed. I thought "well, looks like they probably pushed it back to a later release in August or something..." Then I saw that it was released today, so I went online to see if they were available for in-store pickup. Sure enough they were. Now I have the one I bought and the one coming via UPS. Now I'm hoping I can just take the one I got delivered and return it to the store with the receipt from the in-store pickup one so I'm not stuck with two.
Does anyone know when or if this is going to get its own forum?
Update: You can return an online order to any Best Buy, per their return policy. "Avoid shipping charges and receive a refund more quickly by returning your items to any Best Buy store within the United States."

UK orders delayed?

I pre ordered my G2 about a month ago and rang Car phone warehouse to confirm my delivery for tomorrow which they did state at the time of ordering that i would receive the phone on the 1st October. The lady dealing with me put me on hold and came back a few minutes later and told me that no stock had been received and it will be a few weeks before they start to ship them out.
Has anyone else pre ordered and found out that the phone has been delayed?
all over the Netherlands thats the case. I got mine by sheer luck. Was searching all merchants and found one awesome one that had it in stock. maybe with luck you can do the same.
I was looking for the Z1 last Friday in the Netherlands, at the mediamarkt They didn't have any, however by surprise, the lg g2 was already available and in stock.by the looks of the device and the fact the screen is superb I immediately got one on contract. They only had 2 though, so i guess there isn't a lot in stock, since the major Dutch providers, and phonestores don't present it as in stock. Lg Netherlands however posted a tweet that both the 16 and the 32 gb version should be available this week.

Its amazing how one person can tell you one thing and the next another lol She even tried to encourage me to cancel my order. She went away to ask a manger and she even raised a ticket to "higher up" to see why they advertised the phone for the 1st October when they knew they wouldn't be available,Id be amazed if i had a delivery email from them this week and i know this has happened before with them on the HTC One! Fingers crossed

I'm in Australia and have had one on preorder from an aussie supplier here for about a week. I just got the despatch email this morning saying it was on it's way ..... from Hong Kong!!!
Maybe they are delays getting them shipped out in large volumes overseas?
Just spoke to carphone warehouse and they now have it in stock! being shipped for delivery tomo! although without the free printer and case as this is not in stock yet and i would have to wait for that to come in stock before they could send the phone! seems like a convenient way of delaying the order.

According to Des on Twitter, one of the reasons for the delay was to make sure all locations were able to get a demo phone. As the leaked list showed, only 2/3 of locations were even getting a demo, and only 1/3 were getting sellable stock.

I just called 611 from T-Mobile and they are not letting you order the phone over the phone. So if a store will let you buy one then you are lucky and jump on it. But I highly doubt that anyone from t mobile is going to sell it earlier.

Just like any business, you have a plan. Moto promised them stock for the date they planned. Looks like Moto failed to deliver for whatever reason (could've been a manufacturing issue)

Amazon notified me yesterday that the Spigen cases I ordered were "shipped by Spigen" and would be arriving 11/25-28.
Well, this is what I get for not checking the N6 forums yesterday. Stopped by the store and they didn't even know about the delay until I asked about the phone. That's when the rep saw the internal memo saying the launch was pushed back. It's complete BS to push back a launch date the day before. They already knew there was limited supply.
