I got signed up through a friend on this Advantage Plan. Sounds like a good deal and I was excited to get the Photon, but when i went to pick my phone from the website, is wasn't there. Is there anyone else that has tried to get this phone on the Advantage Plan?
It's because it hasn't been released yet...
... to Sprint employees or their Advantage account holders. We're still waiting for the official announcement but rumor has it that possibly some time next week.

Radioshack, best buy and target already have this promo going for their employees
Can someone enlighten me on the benefits of the Advantage plan? Also how much does it cost?

200 for the phone 30 for the plan without insurance
Sprint ERP and Advantage lines will be able to purchase the Motorola Photon on the 17th. It was in this month's Playbook.
Ahh... thanks for the heads up. Us "in the rear with the gear" employees don't typically have access to those sources.
Thanks for the replies! Waiting eagerly for the 17th to come around.
Sorry If theres a thread like this anywhere, but i once heard that small retailers should be having a different release date. I looked around and couldn't find an ETA
for small retailers in canada anywhere.
I'm sure it must be different for many small stores, but i general estimate would be greatly appreciated.
None have a date here in canada yet. NCIX I have contacted and they do not have a date.

I said an ETA. No one has an estimate of when it will be released in canada for small retailers?

Nope. Even big retailers like BB and FS says they have no ETA from Asus. We are probably looking at January for bigger retailers and some time after that for others.

Not sure why they put up preorders so early when they can't even delivery their products a month later.
NCIX emailed me that they should come in either late last week (obviously didn't happen), early next week, or not at all this year... So vague. The fact that American retailers are shipping them to online customers is really pissing me off... Anyways, that's what I know. I don't know if I'll be waiting much longer than early next week (week of the 19th) for it to ship.
If it is not possible to get mine here in Canada.. I will more then likely just buy from the states. I do not know if NCIX is a big store compared to BB or FS. they were on their Pre order page.
I live in the Orlando FL area.
Today went to pre order the phone and they could not find it in their system, chatted on line with ATT rep, it was on line available but try as they might, the store guys couldn't find it....how odd.
Well I got a 50.00 discount on my phone bill as a result. They were very embarrasssed.
I understood their confusion but I am still shaking my head. Came home and didn't get it, still trying to work thru the whole experience.
Yup.
Same here.
I can get a new phone with a discounted price February 29th. They said I can preorder it if I go to the store, since they can waive the date because the phone comes out in the same month.
So I went in, and they couldnt find it in their system. They had me talk to two different people at ATT customer support, and they said you can only preorder online. Which I cant do because my contract cant get waived online.
So have to wait untill the 19th, and get it in store. Or they said if I call on the 19th, they will ship it out with next day shipping for free.
Have them look it up by sku when they direct fulfill your phone upgrade or new line. It doesn't show up in the master list for some reason but it is searchable by the sku number.
Carbon Blue (aka Blackish): SKU 65503
White: SKU 65371
I called to register my GN today that I bought from eBay and they said the IMEI in there system was for a Motorola phone, I had to give them my IMEI manually.

Not true about the online only, if you pre-order online or in a store it will ship to your house on the 17th, 2 days before launch.

We can all be in the AT&T employee club!!
And yes, same issue in my store. SKU came up with nothing at all for both colors.
Customer care couldn't do **** about it. I'll try again tomorrow.
I know it's like an hour drive (depending on traffic on I-4 of course) from Orlando, but I can tell you the Best Buy in Daytona Beach is taking pre-orders. I pre-ordered mine yesterday. Maybe try the Best Buy at The Mall at Millennia.

I tried doing this, but the submit button was grayed out. Customer care told me I can't preorder it since my contract expires on the 29th.
I will bring in the SKU number for the white one with me this time.
I am in the SF Bay Area, CA btw.

That because in I wanna say September if I remember correctly at&t switched all upgrades to same month upgrades for our customers... so if it is lets say Feb 22nd for your upgrade date, you can really do it anytime in that month of February. They also switched them from the old 21 month upgrade date to 20 months instead.

no problem... i went in to upgrade my line yesterday on my day off with my manager and it wasn't showing up so I was like I'm not leaving until this is preordered lol... I had him try it that way with the sku and it came right up and was good to go as I have seen that issue in the past with a different smartphone launch.

Many will have this phone now as Walmart is selling the phone for $350 off contract! LOL.
Might be a price mistake, though my CC was charged so who knows,.

The offer was available online but it a mistake, if you go there now it will say the offer is no longer available. People who were able to purchase it said they got an email saying the order was cancelled.
"Thank you for your recent order from Walmart Wireless.
Unfortunately, we have been unable to contact you to let you know that we are unable to complete the processing of your new Samsung Galaxy Note. We have cancelled this device and any accessories that you ordered with it. We are also releasing any funds authorized on your credit card for this device."

Anyone who ordered it for that price should be able to get it. The mistake is on Walmart's part and if you ***** to their customer service I'm sure you'll receive it.

Couple weeks ago, listed in the "Availability:" portion; it said something to the effect of it not being available yet. Thought with the change it might be now in stores...

Yeah, at this point I'm just hoping I get it BY the 10th and it doesn't ship on the 10th! If the stores have it ready to sell on the 10th and mine is in route (or worse - not shipped) that will be brutal!! LOL

Why not just cancel your order if you don't get shipping confirmation by the 9th? Then pick it up at a local store...

Nobody asked in the thread when we're getting the note. The question was if it was available at Best Buy. They changed the "Availability" portion on their site. Figured it was a legitimate question. My apologies for consuming your time.

Yes, you did answer the question. Not without being condescending though. I'll click your thanks button anyways. Hopefully you'll be more inclined next time to help someone, without being patronizing.
