I have to decide whether or not to return my One X in the next few days. If you're in Chicago with one and willing to let me see your phone for a few min I can meet you anywhere and pay you for your time.
It is not out in the US yet.
Expansys is selling the international version.
I've read the are a few shops on Devon Ave selling them for $800. If they still have stock, maybe they willl allow you to test one.

Thanks for the tip. I live a good 45min from Devon Ave. Do you have a link to where you read that? I'd like to find out if they have any to look at before going.

Yep, found a store on Devon that has stock. He won't let me turn it on since they're all pre-sold but I can see how it feels in the hand, etc. Thanks again.
You are welcome. Sorry, I didn't get to you sooner with a specific link.
In case anyone else in Chicago is wondering the same, this is where I went today. Well worth the $10 in gas since it made me absolutely sure to return the One X and wait for the GSIII.

beats the heck out of best buy's outrageous $700+tax
Radio Shack $400???
Radio Shack should be the best deal (off contract). They are selling it for $499 off the shelf. However, I am pretty sure you can use the 1st time Radio Shack "FourSquare" check-in 20% off deal to bring it down to $400 plus tax. I called my local store a week ago to verify that they would accept the coupon.

How does this discount work?? I will google it right now but if you know how it works, let us know. Thank you.
I just came from the sprint store... I went in there with every intention on dropping the $549 and keeping my Evo. But after playing with the phone for about 30 minutes honestly I just couldnt justify it. The speed was cool, the 3D was eh... but there just wasnt enough to make me feel like I needed to switch. And this is coming from someone that bought the original last year day one full retail. Plus I didnt really realize how much I dislike stock until I held my evo beside it and did a comparison of all the things I wont be able to install until HTC decides they want to unlock the bootloader. Ill probably get it at some point but my interest level dropped a lot after actually playing with it for a while.

And its actually $599 at radio shack. The $499 was a misprint and the stores here arent honoring that price.
thanks for the input, maybe i should go to a sprint store and actually play with it a little bit. So far radio shack had told me that the foursquare 20% off does not apply to wireless. Ill try a couple more radio shack to see if i get a different response.

Id advise it... the store I went to had 3 models on display and two Views. I mean dont get me wrong its a nice phone.. but not nice enough for me to feel the need to spend 500+ on it. Im on an advantage club line thats the only reason I was gonna do it but now ill probably just wait until whenever we can upgrade and get it. Ironically, I had sat down and was about to pay for it and all and even the chick that was ringing me up said it didnt make much sense and I agreed so I said id just wait. Supposedly we'll be able to upgrade Monday but if not I dont think ill be mad lol.
Just give it 3 weeks or so when full root is out..prices should drop a bit ( if you are okay with buying used)
I personally am waiting for full root then jump ship from the 4G
Radioshack does not honor any coupon on wireless phones.
Accessories yes, no phones
you might be right, we are all just in the hype of the "newest and baddest" that we forget a little logic and just go for it. I think Ill wait a little bit. I just got the nexus s and i love the phone. Its smooth and does everything i need it to and fast. I guess I'll wait for the meanwhile, I'm not going to dish out $500+, but i wont lie when i woke up this morning i was whilling to. Maybe ill just get a tablet for that money.

Speaking of tablets, the View was a lot smaller than I expected in person.
I have some lines without contract. Id buy one and sell for a bit less. Like 550 shipped if anyone wants one. Pm me. Already have one extra to sell.

Best Buy in Sacramento says they have them now but can only sell them tomorrow. He also said come early.
Would I be able to get this at Best Buy while extending my contract?
I'm good for an upgrade now. Will best buy be able to give me the $200 price tag as an upgrade?
Normally (other) stores say I need to go through AT&T.
Pre-Order for Sunday (Oct.2) Pickup
I can personally confirm that Best Buy is accepting pre-orders for units they have locked up in the store.
I just made a $50 pre-order in Sacramento. Looked like they had 5-6 units on their locked shelf, one of which he scanned for my order.
Not aware of any other stores that will have them for pick-up tomorrow.
Feels like these will be hard to obtain for these early days.
Good luck everyone and happy Adroiding....

What part of Northern California. I'm in Redding and our Best Buy will have them. I pre-ordered mine, but I called to make sure it would be there tomorrow and the guy told me they had 8 in stock in addition to the pre orders.

This is concerning and infuriating if it's actually sold at this price after 3 weeks.

Just be wary. This store has a shaky reputation, and if it "appears too good to be true"...well, you know. IMO, the "shipment arrives at noon" already sounds like a red flag.

Last year I remember all the hype over the $100 off coupon.... so it is possible they are selling for that but just take into account that it's a vendor discount not Asus lowering the price. I guess that is just the tab only? Because the pair in the UK is £499

Every negative review I read has something to do with their online sales and deliveries but like I said we have local stores and I am picking it up there it's not being shipped.
I wonder how long best buy would honor a price...probably just your return period? This would really piss me off. I don't give a damn if it's discontinued. I love the tablet and it's look and feel. But, I would hate knowing I spent $100 extra on something that is still within my return period. I mean, they are probably going to get scalpers buying these up and reselling them.
Anyway, chime in when someone actually has one in hand. This will tank original transformer sales as well if true.

Best Buy is gonna hate this
So, all you folks who got the shaft from BB on getting Preorders on time? Try this:
Buy It Now with Confidence Best Buy will match the price if you find a lower price on an identical available product at alocal retail competitor's store, a local Best Buy retail store or BestBuy.com. Simply let us know when you are making your purchase or during the return and exchange period. Perfect Match Promise products have an extended 60-day price match period.
Sounds good for $100 to me:

If anybody does order can you update us on whether they're working fully?
I can't paste the link cause i'm still a new user

Ta for teh update but hughes are selling for an inflated price.
When Amazon next get them in stock they will sell for 499 like everybody elase.
I would not pay over the odds myself and would wait for amazon to get stock or go elsewhere like ebuyer, currys etc and I don't think anybody else savvy enough to use this forum would either lol
Yea, I myself won't pay that much more! At the time though, it seemed they were the only people who had stock. I checked reevo just now, and there are a lot more stores that have in stock. I was more interested to see if they worked or not :x
I live in South Africa, and will be purchasing from the UK and would prefer to buy from a shop that I know has sold properly working units.
Ordered from best buy the day before att allowed pre orders. Talked to them yesterday and they got phones in but not mine. They said they are getting them in order of when they were ordered and they have already received 100 of them. All I van say is that there is no way I wasn't one of the first 10 people to order, never mind 100.
Anyway now they can't tell me how long until it comes in, said it could be tomorrow or in a month. Shoulld I just order from att now or wait? How long will it take for me to get one from att? I don't know what to do.
Wait a week, if you don't have your phone from BB then grab one in store from AT&T, that or call local shops to see when they get theirs in store, because if you already paid off your pre-order to BB then the refund/reset process wont be pretty.
I call BS on them getting 100 in already. No way. I'd do what the above post said, just wait until Thursday when AT&T is supposed to have them in store. I just placed an order over the phone with AT&T on Friday, but we'll see if it gets here before Thursday. Not sure if it will...

There is a guy in the Best Buy thread who can help you. First find out what store# you preordered from (will be on your preorder agreement and/or your receipt) and post in the thread asking if he can look it up for you. He can see how many they have on hand, on order and when they'll arrive. His name is driftr319.

Pretty much....you can cancel your preorder with them and return your GC for a full refund with no problems, if you so choose. If they give you a hard time, speak to a manager and show them the verbiage on the preorder agreement you have where it states exactly that.

Yep, so much for that idea
Word on the street is that the new in-store launch date for AT&T is 6.28.12. I doubt stock levels are gonna be very high so if your intention is on getting one same day I'd suggest you get there as close to opening as you can. Same for Best Buy and other retail locations.
I can look at how many each bby store has and his many they have in order if you pm me with the store number
I would also like to add that bby has ****ty systems that aren't always accurate
