Hey I was just wondering if any of you have received a call or any notification about your preorder that you made a month ago???
I have not.
no i haven't
I got a text message on each of my two lines that i preorodered a upgrade for about 2 weeks ago asking which day I wanted to pick mine up. I said Friday of course
I have not gotten a call :/
Im thinking about calling on my own.
They called me last Friday
posted about it here
I received a call last week to confirm what day I am coming in. No time appointment was given. I did however receive it yesterday from the premier link and still went to the store yesterday.
First they do have the phone and HTC View in stock. Second they could not sell me any accessories but had the courtesy to show me their case accessories that would be sold. They even held two for me just in case they run out since I will be coming after work.
I also did the $150 trade in with my rooted OG Evo keeping the sd card and charger. Not sure if Sprint will drop the trade in price come Friday so I did it asap yesterday.
I got a call yesterday from my sprint store that I pre ordered at and they asked what time I'd like to come in to pick up my evo 3d on friday....
I'd say if you dont hear from them by noon your local time give them a call and ask... If they say that they not doing appointments and they have one on hold for you, insist on making an appointment, also say that when you pre ordered your phone they said they would call and set up an appointment

Good point... im going to do that after work just in case it drops. Altho all the other retailers are buying Evo 4G for $150 and im sure Sprint doesnt want their lower trade-in value to steer customers away from them.
So how did they pay for your Evo 4G? What type of inspection did they do prior to buying your phone?
I think im going to have to call them today because I figure by now I would hear something....... I wont be very happy if I dont get to pick my phone up tomorrow lol.
I have not either. However I'm expecting one today. When I did my pre order I was told I would be called the day before, but if I don't hear from them by 3 I'm Calling! Sorry Not losing my phone I put money down for to some idiot walking off the street.
See I worry because I didnt have to put any money down. The way they did the preorder was weird. I swear they just wrote it down on a random spot on the computer lol
My sprint store called yesterday about noon. I got the Friday 8am appointment because I was first on the list.
I just called mine to confirm it but all they told me was that my name is on the list and I should just come when the store opens. It sounds like it essentially just reserved it. oh well. Ill have my new baby evo tomorrow
Really glad I did the Premier online order, because my store has still not called me. I'll probably go in to see if they have the otter box and cancel my preorder. Need to use my gift card on my account anyway.
My store did not call me. I called them and they were able to schedule my appointment for tomorrow anyhow.
Anyone hear of any good deals on the HTC Titan releasing on AT&T this Sunday? I know it'll be $200 straight from AT&T on a new/upgrade line. Anyone hear anything else from other retailers?
Or even, what is the unactivated price of the phone? Haven't seen AT&T speak a word about it being bought outright.
no **** if they can register online for a new windows phone for $0.01 and i am thinking that Titan would be the same.
Or will be and Bogo (Buy one get one) like other rumor before.
So sad that i am not american, or having SSN to register online.
Would love to trade in my UK Titan for AT&T Titan since i need U.S Agent on the phone, not UK.
Finally listed on the AT&T site: http://www.wireless.att.com/cell-ph...+TITAN+(TM)&q_sku=sku5400337#fbid=VqHNNV47IAn
$199.99 on a 2 year commitment
$549.99 without a commitment
Oh yeah. Are you gonna get it my friend? I need some review of At&t version just in case some **** change inside the phone compare to the UK vesion

Course I'm gonna get it. I just want to find a place with the best price today. XD
Went to my local AT&T store today and they did not get any Titans in yet.
What a disappointment!
Same here. I've called every store in a 75 mile radius, and none of them have it in stock. My local store says they don't even have an estimate of when they will get any.
So frustrating for ATT to post that it will arrive on the 20th, but then they don't have ANY available to get your hands on.
I even went online to upgrade my line on the ATT site, but when I click that I want to upgrade, it gives me the iPhone ONLY! No options for any other phone. Hmmm Starting to sound like Bill upset ATT at some point...
I just called 611 and asked them where I could get it. She put me on hold and called all the same stores I did and got back on the line and let me know she was unable to find any either.
Also, my local ATT Rep that I deal with told me that ATT took his Company Owned WP7 from him and replaced it with an LTE Android phone. He said he asked to keep his WP7, but they will not allow him to because they are pushing their LTE network. He's pretty frustrated...
I'll cross-post this from my original WPCentral post.
I had to try two stores but the 2nd one actually had the Titan on display, in the place of the Focus. It was next to the Focus S, which was convenient.
Impressions:
Love it. I want one, definitely. Build quality is fantastic, feels great on the hand, not too large at all.
I compared the screen to the Focus S and I prefer the Titan. The white point is better and it doesn't turn blue when you view at an angle. The contrast is also very good, though obviously the blacks on AMOLED are nill, and LCD can't compete with that. But blacks are not the only screen characteristic, and combining them all, I prefer the Titan's. On full brightness, I think both were equivalent.
I prefer the Titan's button layout. Not going to do many accidental button presses when handling, unlike the Focus S.
The one thing I prefer about the Focus S is the oleophobic screen coating. I tend to have moist hands, and my finger glides with less effort on the Focus S, whereas on the Titan it's more like sliding down a regular piece of glass. I will get used to it, but I thought I'd mention it.
Oh, the Focus S was plugged in and it DEFINITELY has a typing lag. The Titan was not plugged in, and everything was fluid and snappy, including typing.
I had a conversation about the $0.01 sale and they caught onto some language on the AT&T site that says:
Exclusively at att.com - starting Friday, November 25 through Monday, November 28, customers can enjoy select Windows 7, BlackBerry and Android devices starting at only a penny.

But below, under Saturday, it clearly says "All WP7 devices."
They sent an e-mail to a manager to see if they could do anything about that deal for me, as well as waive activation on the two lines. If not, I'll just wait until Saturday and order online without the hassles and arguing.
On a side note, they also said the employee discount does NOT apply to the $30 messaging unlimited service item, only to the base plan and data package. This is a bummer, if true. I'll try arguing with Premier over the phone after I get all set up, either this week or next Saturday.
Hell, I can't even find a store that 1. Knows what phone I'm talking about. And then 2, has the Titan in. I went to two separate stores and the first girl didn't know what phone I was talking about and said, I don't think we have a phone called that. You may be referring to the "Vivid"? Another associate walked by and she asked her. She said she saw the display in the back, but the phone hadn't come in. Try back tomorrow around noon. Second store, the lady at first didn't know about the Titan, then after I jogged her memory, she said oh yeah, we have the display out, but no phones. She proceeded to ask her manager about it and he said, they pushed their ship date back and it may be a few days. WTF!
I tried almost 10 different stores in the Kansas City Missouri/Kansas area and all of them either did not have any, didn't get it in yet, or sold what little they had. One store had a demo, another store said they sold 2 this morning but that was all they had.
Most of the stores told me that they were expecting them tomorrow. So I guess I'm making another trip out tomorrow...
So, what happened? The iPhone was EVERYWHERE! Ready to sell at midnight +1 second. Why is this phone so hard to get ahold of? Did HTC Fail on shipment? Did ATT Fail on ordering? What the heck? And WHY did ATT announce it's Nov 20th availability, when they knew they would not have it?
Hey, I'm a big boy, so I'll survive, but it is a bit silly...
It's frustrating that iPhone is treated like a princess, even though many people really don't prefer it. My thought is that Apple is kicking back a LOT of money to ATT to make it so.
If you have a Microsoft retail store in your area, most likely they are in stock.
oh yeah? so look like all americans can buy titan pretty cheap.
i might look for somebody here to trade in the UK version for US version if there aren't any downgrade in the hardware. Ha!
Maybe, because i just can't stand the British accent.
Hit me up when you have them, i want to hear the review from you guys.
AT&T Titan
Just picked up my Titan from the AT&T store yesterday after church. The guy said it was the last one. I asked how many did you get? He said only one. I'm like WHAT! What's up with that man?! So he says they don't get many of the new phones when they're first released. So I asked how about the new android phone. They got 6 of those in. So I said dude, why is AT&T hatin on WP7. LoL
Anyway, it was only $99 in the store yesterday. $199 if you purchased online. Don't know if the price is the same today or not but that was my experience.
So far so good. I logged in to my windows live account online, went to market place and reinstalled all of my app's that I previously had on my HTC Surround. The apps were practically installing as fast as I could go through my list and choose them. When I clicked on the last one to install and checked my phone out it was already done. I had my phone connected to my wifi at the time. The flash is super bright, and the battery life has been good. Had full battery still when I woke up this morning. Didn't leave it charging. Then I took the Navigon GPS software for a test run on the way to work this morning. Battery is holding pretty well after a 30 minute drive using GPS. Looks like it may have dropped maybe 10%. I'll report again this evening after a full days use.
I'm planning on ordering this online Friday for a penny.. I was going to wait for the 3rd gen phones but for a penny I cannot resist!!!

$99 in store? What!? Is that special pricing or something or did it actually say that on the price tag in the store?
I totally didn't look at the price tag of the demo phone, I was too busy looking at the phone. I should double check today!
I also picked one up, but not for $99 ($199). I'd like to know if they messed that up too, or if you just got lucky.
My daughter invited us to dinner last night about 50 miles away from my house, so I made calls to stores close to her. The closest one was 25 miles past her house and they only had 1 left out of 4. The held it for me, and now I am the proud owner of a new Titan. So far, I really love it. I have not had a chance to play much, but I'm sure I'll be posting more as I get into it more.
I'm REALLY glad to hear about the battery being pretty good a couple posts up. My Focus was dying pretty quickly, so I hope this helps.
Congrats to all the other new owners!
PS: I did get a chance to try Tango Video Chat with my Wife's iPhone 4s, and I have to say, the video quality in & out is 200% better on the Titan than it was on my Focus.
i think i will go to Radioshack or AT&T store today and check if they have them because i see none last night at bestbuy.
Well, welcome aboard the Titan Owner Club guys, prjkthack just need to buy it,my friend. haha.
can you guys check if the AT&T version do the turn-by-turn navigation with bing map?

I'm sure as long as its in the US with a US Live ID, that turn-by-turn will work with Bing. I don't think its a phone/hardware thing, more of a location of the phone/regional setting/Live ID thing.
Also, Radio Shack doesn't have any in-store. They do online. They generally don't carry a lot of Windows Phone devices (almost none to be exact).
Update: Gave in and just ordered it directly online from at&t. Which I guess I won't have to deal with store employees but at the same time, just means I gotta wait another day or two. Hopefully it ships out today.

Hey guys, so I've been to three AT&T stores, and called 611 multiple times trying to pre order this phone. I can't do it online because of my upgrade date, which is 10 days after the phone comes out. So I am stuck and can't pre order it.
Do you guys think that AT&T will have the phone in stock on launch day? It comes out on a Sunday and my local store opens at 11 on sunday. If i go there when they open I should be able to pick one up right?
I know there are many AT&T employees on here, so I am just wondering.
When I got my iphone 4, I was able to get it from AT&T on their launch day without having to pre order. I just walked in and they took my name down and had me come back in 3 hours when the phone arrived and I was able to get it.
I have doubts that this phone will sell as much as the iphone, so its a pretty safe bet that I can walk in and pick up the white version of the phone right? Or should I keep trying to call and pre order. The 2 day difference is no big deal for me, and I am worried about pre-ordering and having it get delayed, and actually getting the phone a week later.
Just call 611 and talk to orders and service and describe slowly everything , you can do it, I was in the same boat as you,

Plus when you pre order it, you get that two extra days

If you are due for the upgrade on the 29th, you're fine.
As long as you're in the same calendar month as your upgrade.
Just do it in a store and pre order there.
My upgrade date was the 29th of this month as well and I was able to go to the store and do the upgrade. Just hang in there...some of the stores are either unwilling or more likely...not aware of how to place the order itself.
But the issue of the upgrade not until the 29th is something that they all should know how to override (and will).
Good Luck!

at corp stores, im pretty sure they let you upgrade if you are within 4 weeks from your upgrade date, the can override the upgrade date,so in your case you should be fine, not sure why they aren't letting you upgrade. btw my friend upgraded for 299, his eligibility was 14 days after.he did it online dho. but in any case im pretty sure you will be able tp pick up one on or after launch date,if not,therz always bestbuy.. best of luck!
The problem with the upgrade is getting it online. Its only letting me get it by adding a new line.
But like I said, I can't do it in the stores because I have been to three of the corporate stores in my area, and giving them the SKU numbers, they are still not able to pre order it because it is not in their systems.
Ive talked to two different people on 611 and they said the same thing. Its no problem to override the date, however, the phone is not in the system.
I will try calling in again today.
EDIT:
Just called 611.
Same thing, not in the system, cant do anything about it. He said he cant enter the SKU number, and that it only shows phones that ship now.
But he did try really hard to get me to upgrade my home TV and internet service.
This is some terrible customer service, if I didn't upgrade a line on my account 2 months ago, id be thinking of going to Verizon.
In the meantime I will just wait for release and hope they have it in stock.
They should have it at every corprate store , the numbers will nit be that much.
I'm not sure where you guys live, but I called the fourth AT&T store 30 miles away, and they also said its online only
Idk I guess the AT&T stores here are bad

I asked the day before pre-orders started and the AT&T employee told me that the best information is online and she had no idea what's a Galaxy Note
Dang . . . when I walked in the girl said "How can I help you today?"
"Yea, I'd like to do a preorder for an upgrade on one of my lines."
"Oh, ok, for the Note right? I can help you right over here."

Actually they released an alert less than a week ago saying not to override any Feb 29th upgrades because it was a leap year system glitch. It is really supposed to be March 1st upgrade eligible. So unless you get a rep who doesn't pay attention and read notices, then you won't always get lucky and get an override.

It's prob just an assumption lol... The note is the only phone we can preorder right now, so it kinda makes it easy to assume.

Sad. They're required to learn about it. We've had information on it in our systems since late January I think.
i bought a samsung gs3 on nov. 8th. couple days later heard about the dna (i don't know how i missed it). i have 14 days to return or exchange and what not. i went to the store a couple times asking about exchanging it for the dna since the preorder is available and the store date is nov. 21st putting me right in the window. first guy said he would have to find out how to do it since it was a new line also and would call me that day but never did call me. then tonight i went back and explained everything and she called him and he said oh you wouldn't like it, the gs3 is much nicer, and he got to play with it and the battery was awful, it would be a real headache for you to exchange it. i said i still wanted it and they said we checked the warehouse and they don't have any yet and we won't have them until the end of the month. saying things to convince me i don't want to do it.
this all sounds more like they just don't want to do it and don't what to end up with a return. i told them people have received shipping notifications, they replied with that's probably not what they meant, they wouldn't be shipping already.
is there a confirmed store date on these? i wanted one before just because i wanted one but now i want one with the added spite of sticking them with a return.
Everything I heard points to the 21st. Verizon said on their site that they will start shipping the DNA's on the 19th, and with the two day shipping they will also arrive on the 21st. You can exchange your phone until the 22nd, so you should be fine.
Yup, it's officially the 21st. I'm guessing they are getting paid more commission to sell off a lot of the GS3s before the DNAs start selling, or they lose it if you try to switch (or don't want to do the work).

I am thinking the same...I made an internet order this morning and it shipped out around noon for delivery on the 21st.
I certainly hope so. I'm planning on swinging around to my local store after work on Friday in hope that they'll have some on hand. The reps at my store don't know anything when it comes to dates except one guy, but he's hardly there anymore.
I can say that they showed up for store ordering today so you should be able to pick it up in a store soon... if I were you I would just return it to the gs3 to the store you got it from and then get it somewhere else since those guys are assholes...

I have some stupid verizon stores in my area because none of them could give me an update and one lady didn't even know what it was.
WTF!!!
At the announcement of the DNA official spokesmen said it was being released on the 21st. There's no question it will be.
Threaten to cancel the line and return the S3. They will balk. Wife didn't like the I phone 4 when switching to Verizon, they wanted to charge a restock fee and told me how much she would hate android, blah blah, blah. Told them fine. Cancel the line, I'll return the phone, pay the fee and open a new line online through Amazon and get my phone through them since they were being difficult. Walked out of the store with the thunderbolt and didn't pay a dime extra (was a hundred more than iphone at the time). They don't want to lose commissions. Also, try to never shop at authorized dealers. Stick to corporate stores.

My local corporate store has no idea of shipments either, no clue the day before. I bet they had a whole pallet of them out back...
I'm sure the lady I called twice knows me by voice now.

They are BSing you Ask to talk to the store manager or supervisor.If they won't help call VZW customer service. They have always helped me..
i had no idea this place wasn't a corporate store. they only sell verizon and have nothing but verizon signs and whatnot. i got real hot when i found that out.
I second the "only shop at a corporate store". Seriously, only suckers wander into the "authorized retailers". You can spot them by looking at the signs. It'll say really small under the Giant Verizon banner like "USA wireless or GO wireless or John Doe wireless, Authorized Retailer". I've never stepped foot in one except when I needed a charger in an emergency. They charged me like $30. Yeah, screw them. The corporate stores can handle all customer service needs, and the staff is always more knowledgeable and helpful.
Authorized Retailers aren't always good with customer service or phone problems. I'd only use a select few places for getting a phone besides Verizon (Amazon, Best Buy, etc). There is a place near me that has no signs except "Verizon" with "Authorized Retailer" underneath. People probably don't realize they aren't the same as Verizon corporate stores.
I would return the phone and get the DNA from a corporate store.
Stopped by my local store today, and surprise, they told me they couldn't sell me a DNA because it would be off contract and they would only have enough for the new people to buy if they had any at all.

called my verizon store today and they said they had will have them tomorrow for sale, so I will just pick it up before work tomorrow. I honestly don't think they get shipment until evening the night before because I called earlier and she told me to call back in a few hours towards evening and then they will be sure if they will have them tomorrow. Called just now and they indeed said they will have them tomorrow.

Called another corporate store, both confirmed stock for me and the second one also confirmed they had them in stock and will sell them tomorrow. So you guys shouldn't have trouble getting them at your local corporate store.
after a short conversation with veriszon customer service got things worked out.
the gs3 had to be returned to the store i bought it at and that store would not be getting the phone on the 21st. to save my number verizon did a equipment swap and put my number on a old phone. then told me to return the phone and buy it at a corporate store on the 21st. i still get to buy it at the discounted price and keep my number,

Walked into the Sprint store around the corner from my house which is also a full service center and asked them if they had any Galaxy Note 3's in stock as I wasn't sure if every store had any that wasn't already sold to maybe pre-orders. There were 2 workers and a manager and they all looked at me like I was confused about what day it was and they told me to come back when they go on sale on Friday. It only took after I told them it was Friday they went out back and brought me out a nice white Note 3.
It must be bad if your own workers aren't even prepared or care it seems that they launching a phone that morning.
The EVO 3D at least had more hype from Sprint and the stores for that launch where packed.
I did sign up for notification of the release of Note 3 from Sprint's website and didn't receive any e-mails about it being in stock until almost 4pm today. The headquarters must not of been that excited either.
Even with the quiet and poorly handled launch this phone just simply amazes me and I can't put it down.
Similar experience
My experience was similar, I was in line as the door opened and there were only two people ahead of me. When I got to the counter they told me they were out of the Note 3. I just stared for a moment and said "Ok, I guess I'll buy it somewhere else" and left. Drove to best buy and managed to buy one. While I waited in line to get to one of the two people dealing with phone activations much of the crowd from the Sprint store showed up at this Best Buy
Later that day I went back to the Sprint store for a case to find out much of the stock showed up around 1:00.
Way to handle a launch.
