I am going to preorder the 64GB Dev edition tomorrow, and was hoping if anyone has a coupon code for the free case and free overnight shipping which you will not be using. I would highly appriciate it if you can PM me the code. EDIT : GOT MY CODE
If you aren't using your coupon code, post it here so someone else can!
But the problem is...this phone is out of stock right now...
avaliable time is unknown...
I got the free overnight shipping without a coupon code and didn't care about the case. I think Letstalk offered free overnight shipping for all pre-orders without coupon codes.
I called them and asked them to upgrade my shippong for free. Otherwise, I would still need to pay shipping fee. I am wondering if too many people called and asked for free overnight shipping, they would just go ahead and upgrade every order

I actually think it's a good idea. I don't need one, but there are a lot of people that would use it. Why let them go to waste?

Why has someone always got to put a negativity on a thread.
I dont need a case, got one off amazon, and unfortunately dont have a code. . . but this is good, it helps people out. . .
U know, @ Insomnia im on quite a few forums. My main ones being XDA, Forzamotorsport, and X360Achievements and each one has a code give thread, were ppl gain these codes, dont want them or need them, so they give them away. . . its brilliant! If your not going to use it why be selfish and let it go 'unused'?
You still want that code? I ordered through Sprint, so I don't need the code for ordering through HTC for the case. Let me know, don't want to post here for fear the OP doesn't get the code for asking first
Sent from my LG-P999
Where does the code come from? I registered for email updates from both HTC and AT&T and never got anything except the HTC release update, which had no code. I'd be happy to give it away, don't need it myself as I've already ordered, but I can't find one.

If you signed up before end of March then you would of gotten one. The deal ended after that therefore, people who signed up after that will not get the notice.

I registered for the phone trade-in the first week of March, got my confirmation on the 9th. The email about the delay came on March 22nd. This entire htc-one saga has taken place in Feb and March. I'm not sure what you mean. April 4th was when we could finally start ordering.
I never got the email with the coupon code. No big deal, as it turned out I didn't need it. Once I found out that AT&T kept the phone stock like the global one and the logo was just a grey globe on the back, I decided to save $350 and get the AT&T. At the time I thought I could get it in black which made it even more appealing but the silver is fine with me.
I registered for email updates from both ATT and HTC. I even re-registered around teh middle of March since I hadn't heard anything. I don't think AT&T ever sent out any emails.
HTC may have used some other list for the coupon code. A list I wasn't on...

I'm just iterating what HTC was telling me on the phone, so I guess unless there were some other problems like in your case where you did register before that, I was not aware of it.
You could give HTC a call and tell them if you could get the deal potentially I would believe. It does not hurt to try.
Maybe I didn't get on the list because I registered too early. whatever the reason I didn't need the code anyway, but it means unfortunately I don't have one to give away in this thread.
still haven't got one, so PM it to me please!
I ordered the 64GB DEV edition from letstalk yesterday, and called them to ask for free shipping but they said i needed a coupon code which only HTC can give me. I called HTC and they were all out. My order eventually got cancelled because i used my dads international CC.
Going to reorder today with my brothers american CC.

Yeah well - I signed up for almost everything from HTC. Heck, I even did that last year during the HTC One X fever. But never got any newsletter or fan mail or any such thing from HTC. Not even a lousy, "you are a good customer" email. :crying:
I suppose HTC must really not like me!!! :laugh:
Got my code and HTC ONE dev 64GB ordered!
Can't wait.
For those of you who are not ordering cause the pre-order was out of stock. Go on this link, it shows out of stock but you can still add it to cart and pay for it, I did that and it worked for me. Try it out if you don't want to wait.

Hey guys
My HTC Incredible is on its way, Im upgrading from my Samsung i910... WinMo has always been my thing, but Android seems so much nicer, going to be a learning curve, but any advice or ideas will be welcomed
Thanks and hey everyone btw...

Hi! Mine doesn't ship until the 29th, but I'd also appreciate learning the differences between WinMo and Andriod.
I've really enjoyed the free apps and information this board has provided for my Touch Pro! Thank you.
when did you order yours that it is now on the way? I ordered mine on the 13th and am being told it will be to me by the 1st of June...

It's a canned response. I called Verizon about it - I ordered my phone on the 9th and it never came. lol
If you were to order it today you should see it shipped out by 6/4 according to the detailed specs of the phone. 6/1 if you just look at the Verizon line-up of phones.
It's all confusing. Verizon really should do a better job when launching a new phone!
lol very troo, but i'll get it when i get it i'm excited but i'm patient too, just wondered what it meant lol, cos seemed wierd
yeah- I'm definately NOT patient bc I'm stuck using my wife's old LG chocolate in the meantime bc I already sold my TP2 on eBay. Customer service told me it was no issue to overnight me one so I went ahead and sold mine. When I called asking where my phone was they apologized and said they meant to say it was backordered. Nice going VZW

I learned this the looooooong and hard way. I've spent literally hours on the phone with them and was supposed to receive 3 seperate calls from supervisors bc of how many times they screwed up yet they only called back once. They also told me it was $269 w/ a 1 yr contract, then processed the order and then texted me saying it was $369 w/ a Mail in Rebate. When I called back saying that's not what I was originally told- they told me in a condescending voice 'I can cancel the order if you would like and try to come to a resolve on your issue, but it will extend the wait time of shipping your phone'. What choice do I have but to suck it up bc I NEED this phone for work?? hahaha I just have to laugh at how much it sucks at this point
lol sucks, until i get a tracking number i'm not going to worry about it...
This morning I received an email form Dell. The Pre-sale stars today. Prices are $299.99 w/ contract, and $549.99 without contract.
I still haven't gotten my e-mail from them yet
Me neither. Are they doing it in some kind of order? first come, first serve? >=(
Received my mail about 9:30 am eastern and made my purchase. Bought both of the cases. I will probably end up selling the leather one if I like the other one, but who knows. Didn't buy any SD cards. I think I can buy one in a store for less.
This is my second Streak. Bought one of the Beta Give-Away units. Got nervous that there would be a problem updating .. who knows .. SOLD IT .. and now I bought this one. When there was that initial scare a few days ago that the Betas stopped working I felt HORRIBLE for the person I sold mine to. I don't know if it was a hoax or a temporary thing but haven't heard any more ..

another question,$549 version still lock to at&t? Engadget said that, if so how to unlock?
That link didn't work for me. Took me to the Streak info page.
makes no sense .. why pay $550 instead of $300 .. I assumed the difference is to pay off ATT for not using their service.

Thanks shEEEsh. I'll be getting my Streak on 08/17. =)
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
Nobody at Dell can say if this Streak is the same as the Beta Streak. My Beta didn't get 3G but I could use my T-Mobile sim. Looks like the exact same specs as my Beta .. I should get an Edge connection, right? I talked to a dozen people that said they didn't know. One person said "maybe." but the WORST OF ALL THE AGENTS was someone in "Mobile Services." Shaquallar was HER name.
When we first started talking she had NO IDEA that the AT&T had the contract. I repeated myself over and over .. that AT&T is the provider and she would say, "It is not known who the provider is going to be."
Figuring she wasn't the brightest bulb and asked for her supervisor. He REFUSED to come to the phone. It was like pulling teeth, but I got that his name is Jeremy and he FLAT OUT REFUSED and the agent was CLUELESS about EVERYTHING ..
I have a question though. When you ordered your phone, did the website require that you sign with AT&T at the time of purchase? Other wise, what did I get for my additional $300? It doesn't matter, I am sending it right back.

HOT news!!!
I was refunded my money via online banking. It's very strange!
I check my order online daily to make sure when and if my DVP have shipped. My order is still on the dell website and shows that it's still in production.
However, the weirdest thing is that I was refunded my money when I checked my online-banking account today. I also have no records of it on my account that I ordered anything from dell recently. Absoluetly no records at all. Not even a purchase or a cancelation. All I know is that I have the $500.00 money back for odd some reason.
I don't know whether this means they're going to cancel my order online without telling me because they no longer have my money.
I purchased with a debit card. My account is healthy as hell.
Anyone have this happened to them before?
dont spend that money what dell does is charges your card for the order initially but since you arent getting a device they can only put a temp hold on the amount after a few days your card issuer releases the hold but right when youyr device is gonna ship dell will charge you again. so make sure that money is there.
They did that too me too, but my bank has been doing this to me for almost every thing I buy thats over $100. I guess the bank just does that to make sure the charges aren't fraudulent or something. Eventually the money gets charged again but sometimes it takes up to a week after I even receive the thing.
I do have a student account though.

They're both right. Dell does place a hold to make sure you have the funds when you place the order, which essentially shows up as a "charge" on your account, but when the hold expires (usually a week), the money is back in your account because it was never really taken out. When the device is shipped, the account will actually be debited for the amount, so yes, as Shaun231 said, don't spend the money or there will be an error when Dell debits it for real during shipping.
I am hoping they ship the bloody device soon. I'm getting tired of refreshing the order status page on Dell.com

Could be Cust Service has no idea what they are talking about but you can only hope

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 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.
I ordered a s7 edge through verizon but I have an issue with the delivery date. They are saying they should hit the stores March 11, but I will be in Texas for my Sister in laws wedding from March 9th until the 12th. So the issue is should I keep my delivery for my home in Colorado or have it sent to Texas.
Do the preorders usually go out early? I would think it would only be fair if people who pre-ordered to get it before people can get it at the stores.
Well for T-Mobile USA they sent the S6 a week early for some users. Verizon tends to be on the dot maybe a day early in most cases.
Anyone know how BestBuy handles pre-orders for online shipping?
IIRC, I pre-ordered the s6 edge last year from Verizon (online) and it came 1 day before the release date.
Follow my preorder thread in the discussion threads, I'll update it as soon as any news about early devices being shipped pops. Verified news, not he/she says.
Last year tmo sent devices a week early so I'd imagine the same again regardless.
Thanks for the input! I think I will just have it sent there in hopes that it will be there a little early. They can ship it to me if it gets there late. Man would that drive me crazy though.
I hate that you have to wait until you get your phone to sign up for the VR gear. They said they have limited supply. Since it is going to other countries and carriers first I should hope there will be some left if I get mine a day late or something. One of the main reasons I ordered it was for the VR gear and I would be super ticked if they ran out!

I am a little bothered by this article saying there will only be 300,000 VR units given in the US. I wonder how many pre orders there will be. I think you receive a VR gear based off of what number you are in the pre order list, not whenever you happened to get your phone. If you get yours late, you might miss your shot. But the way they are advertising it makes it seem like nearly everyone will get one. I hope that is the case.

I'm sure there will be a lot of cancellations if this is the case.
My AT&T preorder says shipping on the 7th to arrive on the 8th. Many sites are reporting preorders will be out 3 days early from the official launch on the 11th.
I just talked to 2 verizon reps and the first one said the phone should arrive on the 11th, and the other checked with her manager and said it would ship out on the eleventh and not arrive until the 14th. To me it makes no sense that the people who preordered will get there phone 2 days after the phone comes out in the store.
I am not throwing any fits because it is unfair, but this is a issue for me because I don't know where to have the phone shipped. And like my earlier post said, it seems that they are only giving out around 300,000 VR Gears, so if I am a couple days late getting it, I may lose my chance at getting the VR gear. ?

That's incorrect. You can input your invoice that you purchased a device starting March 3rd on Samsungs website, I forgot where I found this information but if I remember I'll link it

Please do let me know! I keep hearing that you need your phone to do it. My receipt from Verizon does not have any info about the phone other than what it is, and the pre order number.

This makes it seem like you will need your phone. I sure hope there are plenty of VR units to go out to all the preorders. If not, there may be a lot of angry people.

I pre-ordered from Best Buy so they will ship the VR with the phone. Also getting a free 64gb SD card.
My S6 edge was delivered on March 30th (T-Mobile), and (I think) the release date was somewhere around April 10th. So, don't be too surprised if you get a shipped confirmation email in the next week or so.
Also plan on getting mine through BestBuy. Seems like less of a hassle than waiting "4-6" weeks for the GearVR to come in.
That does sound nice, but I didn't really want to fork out 300 and be stuck in a contract. I might contact samsung and verizon and try to get some assurance that there will be enough to go around. Otherwise, I might cancel and hold out to see what the V10 sequel has in store.

You can buy phones at BestBuy without a contract, that's what I'm doing.

You have to pay full price though right?

That link actually proves that you need the IMEI and WiFi address.
First, they mention in the text on that page that you need to fill out the form and submit a receipt. That doesn't say what info is required for the form so it does not suffice as a counter-example, nor any evidence that the receipt is the only information you need.
Secondly, that page provides a link to the actual terms and clicking through you can see that the section on submitting the claim explicitly lists the IMEI number (3.b.iii) and the WiFi MAC address (3.b.iv) in addition to the receipt.
So, IMEI and WiFI MAC are certainly required to claim the Gear VR...
