just left T-mobile store (kinda bad news)

[ColonelSanderrs]

found out that its a deffinate that the phone will NOT be sold in non 3g areas, (at least near me) and also found out that the second wave of pre-orders wont even receive there phone till the first or second week of November, which leads me to believe that people that want to start a new contract and are NOT t-mobile customers already will have to wait till near the end of november to get their phone




this is only what i was told by the T mobile guy in the store

[mast3rpyr0]

when you say second wave, do you mean the ones that T-mobile helps you order in a non-3g store or did another one start after the first couple thousand ran out?

[dkvitus]

I think it was announced before that only 3G covered areas will be selling the phone... one of the reasons (a minor one) why I pre-ordered mine.

My advice, just wait until black friday and hopefully u can get a deal... maybe, just maybe. I am positive by then the phones must have hit Best Buy and other retailers.

the way that the guy was explaining it was that they took all the pre-orders but tehy cant all sh** out the same time, so even though it was one "wave" of pre-orders they broke it up i guess and the first amount of ppl will get theres SHIPPED on oct 22 and the others will get theres SHIPPED sometime in november


once again, jsut going from what im told, im sure everyone understands that not ALL t-mobile employees reliable

Ouch, i cant even begin to think of the pain involved in ****ting out that many orders at one time :0

I just wanna know cause i had to cancel the one i ordered on the 23rd and ordered another one on the 24th, not sure how many went out on day 1 but now im scared

I probably pre-ordered late, but I don't wanna wait until November!

oh dont worry, i know the routine lol, and i wanted it to come from the same guy since he knew about this in the first place and is actually in a physical store, rather than on the CS side of things...

also:

Do I have to be in a 3G coverage area to buy this device?

No, however device functions requiring access to data services, such as Internet browsing, will be considerably faster in 3G coverage areas.

but thats part of the PRE-SALE FAQ, what about after its released...DAMN YOU T-MOBILE! lol

Not right away, they may eventually but on the 22nd when they are released you can goto a t-mobile store and a rep will help you buy one online. So you might as well preorder. but i hear there is a "second wave" in the preorders and anythign ordered after today (Oct3rd) will be shipped sometime in november so that kinda sucks.
