:( I was so close guys. - Sprint HTC One (M7)

They have stock in the Sprint Store. I called yesterday playing dumb to see if I could get a store to sell early. I was told it would be released today. So I take my happy little but over to the Sprint Store as soon as it opens this morning. Lady at the counter tells me yes they have some in stock and yes I can purchase one. She goes back and grabs a box and brings it up to begin the purchase process.
Then a manager stops her. He informs her that they cannot sell them yet and he sends me on my sad little heartbroken way.

I would have handed them a hundred and been done with it.

It happened so fast. I was so close I could taste root.

Ugh, I couldn't imagine the anger I would have. But, in all fairness, they're not supposed to sell them.

I know where I'll be at 9AM tomorrow.

I was just so close and then shot down. Its like going to the Sprint Store to pick up a phone, thinking youre going to get it and then you're shot down. Theres no other way to complete the analogy because that is literally one of the worse things to possibly happen.
bonus points for catching the reference

Do what I did and buy a black one. Since they're delayed for some unspecified amount of time, I only refresh 4-6 times a day.

When I was in support and receiving lot of random stuff for folks I found a Windows desktop widget (of all things) that worked really well. You just put in the tracking info and it would show the latest real time info in the widget and you could even click on each delivery and see a map of where the last update had come in and when on the map.
Alas, I ordered from HTC and still have no tracking info.

UPS just left.. no phone! :crying:

Just checked mine and it show's 2nd day air as well, with a scheduled delivery of Monday, 4/22.... WTF. Guess we'll see

From my experiences it's always cheaper at a Sprint Corporate store. Example:I live next to a "sprint" marked store and I was buying a note II and they wanted $799 for it.. I then found my closest sprint corporate location and bought the phone from them for $600..

I don't mean to torture you guys but I'm the Sprint Service Manager and I've been playing with mine for 2 days now. Lol :/ I also typed this up on the One. Trust me y'all will love it.

wondering if this would be an up/down grade from a note 2 ... maybe ill just get it for fun and then give it to the kid if im not amazed

How about this for a deal play dock £9.99

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B00...le?redirect=true&ref_=nosim&tag=hotukdeals-21
Bought thanks nt
Thanks a lot for the tip off.
thank you for the find
Nice product - I bought one immediately after getting my XP (paid £9.99) and it sits nicely on beside table with natty dimmed clock.....and, killer function is it charges overnight meaning I never need to think about charging
Cheaper here hxxp://www.foniacs.co.uk/sony-ericsson-dk300.html (£7.99)
Although I've never used foniacs, so not sure how good they are
The price on amozon keeps changing i seen it go as low as £7.15 I got it at £7.99 now its £9.99
That price makes more sense for the functions than what I paid.
This came bundled with my Xperia play and its really useful, My Xperia PLay is always above 50% because when ever I am at home its on the dock which charges the phone, Worth it.
Bought mine at foniacs few days ago for £7.99.. can't wait for it to come!

I never ever buy something when it first comes out no matter how much I want it. Every time I see people do that, they get screwed.

I learned that lesson after getting stolen a $200 dollar on contract phone after 2-3 months, then 6 months later the phone being only 250 w/o a contract (w880 I'm looking at you).
On topic: I bought a $2 plastic stand, no charging capabilities or fancy stuff, just to make it stand in portrait or landscape mode to watch movies and stuff. Not gonna spend on more SE if they keep limiting us with features.

Did Samsung not make enough Gears?

I placed an order on 10-4 with T-Mobile.com and it's on backorder. I noticed that a lot of places are sold out. Did Samsung not make enough because of unknown demand?
Sent from my SM-N900T using Tapatalk 4
Not sure if they made enough or not but there are some at various stores around where I live. Also T-mobile is supposedly backordered quite heavily due to the massive mistake they made in including the gear in their 30% off accessories coupon. Great promotion for the consumer but no one knows when all of those orders will be fulfilled.

Yup, they definitely didn't make enough.. I almost did not get my phone upon release cuz all the gear was gone. They said that they can't sell the phone without the gear?? But lucky enough they had one left, the one they were showing to all potential customers lol.

yeah still no gear here, major bummer wanted to see at least a demo unit
My Best Buy still has like 10-15 of them in stock in Various Colors. I got my manager to price match the T-Mobile price last week for 2 of them (one was for resale and one for me). I guess I got lucky on that. But they are to be found. Any if you want to play with one, any best buy with a Samsung store should have a live demo of a Gear there.
Here in Denver I had to drive all the way across town to get my jet black Gear. Most Best Buys are sold out.
I'm glad I purchased it. The features are awesome.

I just want to at least order already... Yesterday I was getting a message about my cart being empty and I called and the rep stated it was because it's not actually in the system. Well today I got an email from BB, asking for me to finish my order. Well now I get to the final page where I send in my info to the carrier. All I get now is the following message:
"We're sorry, there was a problem with your request. Please contact your carrier directly for assistance."
I then call Sprint, let them know exactly whats going on, and I'm going through BB because they have an exclusive on Amber Gold. They check my account for issues and say everything is good and there is no errors on there end. BB doesn't seem to know why and keeps sending me to Sprint.
I just want to get the thing in Amber Gold before April 10th.
My cart would clear out if I didn't checkout as a guest. As for the last screen I was getting an error about the order being complete but it was due to me typing in a piece of the account info wrong.

unfortunately, no. they treat it as a pre-order and don't handle pre-order over the phone, stores don't have it in there systems as an option, and yeah, stuck with this problem online. :///
btw, appreciate your feedback.
I ordered a gold one from BB. Also had errors when logged into my account. Had to checkout as guest and it went through just fine. Did get order confirmation on the 25th but no shipping info or updates yet. Had a friend get his today already. That one was ordered directly from Sprint I just wanted the gold one. I hope it ships soon. Sprint usually will get them to me next day air or 2 day. BB will have to see.

Best Buy in Florida said they will have them but not allowed to sell them until April 5th.

availability in store on Friday?

Does anyone know if they will have stock on-hand in corporate stores on launch day? I'm assuming so but figured there may be a store rep here who can confirm?
Thanks
We currently do not have stock for stores and we have heard nothing about getting a guaranteed shipment. But I work in Alaska, so YMMV. We are assuming we will get some in by thrle 11th.

Well.. i didn't pre-order my S4 from AT&T because they was already sold out. But the corporate store near me had 10+ in stock on launch day.. No crazy line like the iPhone releases, it was a popular city also. Not a hick town somewhere.
Your best bet is to call your local store Thursday or Friday to see if they will have any coming in.

Getting mine on Wednesday. First variant none international model phone for me ever too. Havent been here long so I got international unlocked models. A lot easier to root and flash but this time it was just cheaper at $199 on contract. Anyway the postie will stick it in the mail box since it wont be that big but bigger ones get left at the door if no ones home.
The FedEx guy brought it all the way up to the third floor and put it outside my apartment door along with the case I ordered off of Amazon hehehe double delivery. I received it on Thursday 4/10.
