I've ordered mine
If you get to the product page it says that it will be delivered september 6. Wow
9 April I thought?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA Premium App
Cant anything mentioning september on the product page.
However it does have a delivery date of 9th April.
Thats only 1 month away!
Very excited, and I want one so bad. But Im abit nervous cus there's hardly any apps yet. I wonder how many decent quality apps (proper apps i mean) will there be in 6 months?
I appreciate its a brand new device etc. I just hope we get apps quickly.
Not sure Im liking this annual cycle of technology, £499 is alot of money to be out of date 12 months later and trumped by new hardware.
In the mean time, is it worth it, just for the "sofa browsing" when I already spend most of my time infront of my pc, at home and work?
I am hoping they drop the price before next month slightly to be honest...

Any info about the wifi + 3G availability in europe please ?
Ok Moto Wifi only version needs to come to the U.S., thanks!
£499 is way over the odds considering you can get a 4G unsubsidised non-discounted one in the US for less than that. Dixons group are notorious for overpricing things and you would have to be a sucker to pay that price for it.

If they get enough pre-orders then no they won't. In fact they originally priced it at £449 then quickly withdrew it and added £50.
Everyone, if you order from Dixon's there's a discount code to get 10% off. Just ordered mine at £449.99
Code is DXPC10 but only available until 8th March.

You're forgetting that everything in the UK is priced over the odds, it's not just Dixon's that do it.

Not sure. I used a credit card so I'd only see it in my next statement.
I read some where that the UK version had silver backs, can any one confirm? also presume we can send back if not happy, Would be nice to see in the flesh before putting up the money

Also read somewhere that the dixons wasn't working any more
Hope its good for you guys

I'm wondering should I cancel my order and re-place it - but they have taken the money already so if it takes awhile to get the money back in my account then I'm stuffed as I can't go losing £1k from my account while I am waiting for them to sort out refunds....

Why did I spend so much money on this phone again? I remember with my iPhones they retained their value, this is a HUGE degradation in a matter of months? I guess I won't be able to sell this phone when I'm ready to upgrade.

You do realise there's a HUGE difference between an iPhone and... well... any other phone, right? People flock to iPhones like gnats to a sweaty forehead. And not even just the US. Hell, i sold my iPhone 4 that i had since they came out to someone in Russia for $450. That was enough to cover the cost of the iPhone when i originally bought it, PLUS the Atrix. I've only ever seen one person NOT in an AT&T store that had an Atrix. Just about every smartphone you see on the street is some version of the iPhone. And with the 3GS now being $49.... I'd imagine that ratio will be even higher. People don't know how to find a good phone. They know what is crammed down their throat no matter where they turn... and that just happens to be any Apple product, really.
Hell... look on TV. You see at least 5 iPhone commercials for every single Atrix commercial... and they advertise the lapdock more than the phone itself it seems.

But yea... even if you did go elsewhere and tried to get them to price match, they'd probably see that it's for new customers only. I mean... they usually say that right around the price somewhere.... somewhere that's not easy to miss.

Dunno, they still seem to go for a fairly nice sum of money. I'd imagine it would still be rather nice a bit from now, especially being a dual core.
yeah store was closed here. I tried calling att to see if they would price match the 100 bucks at bestbuy and they told me nope and if i wanted bestbuy's price i should cancel and goto bestbuy. does att charge a restocking fee for canceling a plan within the 30 days?

Not really i pre ordered my HTC Desire and LG Optimus 3d and it came to my house 9am on the day both phones were released...
Carphone warehouse on Vodafone £31 per month for 24 months, 32 gig in blue free.
800 minutes any network
Unlimited texts
500 meg data
O2 gave me such a fu©king run around with promising to match that deal, then 2 days later saying they couldn't that I decided to go to Vodafone after 11 years with O2.
Yesterday O2 send me a mail saying my order was being processed for £250 handset at £75 a month for 24 months... I was proper peeved. Sorted now, but put me off O2 a hell of a lot.
this deal is the cheapest I seen so far I think.
Edit: Carphone Warehouse also recon I'll get the handset on release day or day later... not sure I believe that, but we'll see I guess.

I am very happy! I went into my local Sprint store, had googley eyes at the attractive Sprint guy, but he told me he couldn't move my contract end date so I could get the EVO LTE when it comes out. (My contract isn't up until Sept. 1 2012)
I called *2, explained to the rep that I wanted to stay with sprint another two years if I could upgrade to the EVO 4G LTE that is to be released for pre-order day after tomorrow. She said no.
She was eager to try options though and put me on hold. Her supervisor came back (without me asking for her). I said, "I will gladly pay any pro-rated fees to move my contract up to an early date. She told me there was nothing she could do to move my contract dates.
THEN
I said, "Why can't I pay the pro-rated penalty for canceling my contract at this point into it (20 months in) and.."
"Sir before we consider cancelling your service, let me transfer you to the department that can move your date up for you!"
And had no problems after that.
I would suspect Sprint would be willing to do anything to keep customers, as they have spent so much money on building a fallen 4G network and building a new 4G network, and after buying all them iPhones. lol
So, I will be a happy EVO 4G LTE pre-order customer come Monday!
Good for you.

Nice work! I'm at 21 months, and I think I will give this a shot. The EVO is a great phone.

The LTEVO does look like a monster and, I'm happy to see a true successor to the OG EVO but I need GREAT not good battery life. Congrats on your upgrade I get mine in 17 days

I don't get it, if you're going to stay on the same carrier anyways, why not upgrade? If you end up wanting to terminate your contract you'd still end up paying less in total through an upgrade than without one anyways.
Alaman nailed it. Other arguments are ridiculous and futile lol

Sprint will let anyone buy out there contract if the area you live in is approved for buy out. It sounds weird but they actually have maps of areas where customers can and can't buy out by region.

I would say that the web site appears to be goofed up and leave it at that. Feel free to take advantage of their mistake. Just remember that if you order one it will probably be carrier locked. Not that it matters if you're hacking it anyway

It says you get a further credit if you activate a 3 year plan that costs $45 per month or more.
Otherwise the plan free phone alone is $309 + tax.

They definitely do NOT have to honor it. This happens all the time on Red Flag Deals. Someone posts a price error or system glitch, a hundred people jump on it and place orders, a hundred people get cancellation emails a day later.

Pretty sure this exact same thing has happened before on Rogers website, and they have NOT honoured it. MY gf had an upgrade go like this, thru the rogers website, and they flatout refused to follow thru the transaction, it just kinda disappeared.

I just order one myself and it says phone on 1 line with 309$ as the price and there was no amount beside the bonus line where you would usually have 500$ rebate applied against the 650$ if you took a 3 year agreement.
Moreover, I never had to fill a complete subscription form. So it's a pay and go price. Now I will only need to unlock this phone to sell it!
