I was all ready to pull the trigger on a preorder today, and was sitting on top of my machine like a buzzard over a dead deer, only to find that the only color option is silver. Any word on ETA for black?
Just saw the same thing. I was going to get the silver and picked a data plan. Then told me not available in my area WTF

Just tried to contact the 'chat' help on AT&T. They tell me they have no ETA on black, but that level of 'employee' probably wouldn't be in-the-know on such a thing. Any feedback is appreciated.

I went ahead and ordered the silver. I have a TyTNII (Tilt) to return on the trade-in program that's worth $100, so I figure even if I get whacked with a $35 restocking fee to trade colors if they come out with black a month from now, I'm still ahead of the game.
Only the silver ones are available for pre order - apparently the black ones might not make it for launch according to our internal documents.

LOL! If you're at the store on Dunning Road, you guys sold me my Inspire. Small world.
So, you're saying that there won't be any black at all, or that they just won't be available for a while yet?
Probably wont be for a while.
Black will come at a later date most likely.

Why the delay? I know they're already out on the streed based on posted pictures. What gives?
Probably production setbacks for whatever they do to make the metallic black.
Silver is probably easier to manufacture.
Havnt seen a black review of the htc one yet lol
The black is an anodized finish so that takes some time, plus they might have to polish out some spots for a ground contact or something. It would take more time to produce but probably they thought very few people would want black.
I'm glad it worked out this way. I couldn't make up my mind which one to get so when I went to order it ATT made up my mind for me.

Well that makes one of us.I'll take no One before I'll take a silver One.
I'm really tired of this crap. Last time it took forever to find a white HTC One X, and now the black HTC One is going to take awhile for me to get. If I hadn't just broke the screen on my One X, I guess I could wait, but I really don't want a silver One.
I figure the phone is gonna be in an Otterbox or Seidio case totally covering it anyway, so I'm good to go with silver.

Yeah, I preorderd at a store today 40m miles from my town. Stupid AT&T is blocking people with business discounts from preordering online. I have an 8525 charged up and ready to send. Just waiting for the info to send it in lol. Easiest $100 I ever made !!
I ordered the Developer Edition and as you all know there is no color selection prompt. :crying:
However, when I review my order it says "customer contact for additional information required." I wonder if they'll give us the option in a week or two?

Actually, I managed to pre-order online with my business discount. Now I just have one on my service, not equipment purchases so maybe that's different from what you have. Still glad I managed it though!
As for "Silver" - It'll be in a case anyways so I suppose color doesn't matter much. For the record, I am bummed that the red One isn't available anywhere.
I wanted a black one at first but I just did not want to wait another month or whatever. The silver is not bad and it will going in a case so I can live with it. I hope it doesn't take HTC a month plus to get the black version out.

If you're talking about the special pre-order bonus thing, you may want to make sure that phone is covered before you get your hopes up. Looking at the photos of that thing make me think its probably too old to qualify.

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

$170 at Walmart on contract seems pretty good if you don't have the Best Buy $50 deal. The "Accessory Kit" from Costco I'm sure is just garbage-y... pic is too low res to even see what's in it.
Keep in mind, activation is waived at Costco. $36.00 savings, so it's basically the same price as Walmart (+3 dollars)

That said, I just pre-ordered Stealth Black from Walmart as they are 1 of the 2 vendors doing it. Hoping something from ATT pops before the shipdate though, so I can scrap this order and get it from them as they have a far superior return policy.
Costco link doesn't work. When I add the phone to my cart, it works, but when I checkout, it says my cart is empty. Anyone else having this issue?

Well, walmart let me pre-order today. Costco was one of the other few places that kept their Stealth Black orders open. It's possible that they were only allotted a certain amount, that or they fudged up. Regardless, I placed my order with walmart. Going to see how things turn out on the official release date, and if there is no traction on it, I'll be cancelling and waiting for ATT.
Are there any employees of any wireless carrier that can comment on the availability of the black version? Anyone seen a memo or shipment allotment for their particular employer? I was hoping to get a black one but might have to go with silver

Wait dude. If you honestly want silver, then do it. But if you are excited about black, and want that more, then go for it. Otherwise wait, you'll be happier.
I talked to a rep and this was their official stance on the Black version:
Mike S.: AT&T customers will be able to preorder the Silver HTC One on April 4, 2013.* The 32GB model will be $199.99 with a two-year commitment and the 64GB model will be $299.99 with a two-year commitment. The Silver model will be available in store on April 19th and availability on the Black model is still TBD. Customers who pre-order an HTC One are eligible to get a Free** Media Link HD wireless HDMI adaptor.Note: Due to supply constraints the Black HTC One will not be available for preorder.
Josh: Ok will the black be available on launch?
Mike S.: It is still to be announced. WE are hopeful that it will.

Just the 169 Stealth Black they offered. Haven't received an update email yet. I'll see what happens. Will give them til the 20th to update.
Has anyone seen any in stores/etc? I really want the black one, but am running out of time to buy the phone and still be eligable for the $100 trade in promotion which makes it much more worth while. Most stores I've called say not announced... but one store said a few stores have started getting them. I'd even consider the unlocked or dev version from htc direct, but hence no black available there either...
I'm starting to wonder if the black is worth the extra $100 over the silver... but I'm not sold on the silver yet.

All I know is they are over -150 orders in and they are just waiting for them to start showing up. If you cut it close get the silver and just trade it before the 14 days. I am hopeful that it will be either tomorrow or early next week.

I've seen it in store as a demo and was offered one today but ended up buying the silver. I'm in Atlanta for your reference.

probably but I'm sure you probably can try to argue that it was suppose to be out the 19th and you had to get the rebate just to see what they said. I just talked to AT&T and it may be better news she said that the preorders and now at -144 so either they started shipping some or people canceled the orders.
I guess I'll call some Best Buys today then... I bet they'd even price match Walmart's $150. I'll also try calling a few corporate stores again today, though I'm sure they're tired of people calling.

Unless they actually checked the availability right in front of you there's reason to believe them. I've been misled several times already.
I don't follow market trends or tactics but if I had to make a guess. You will see the black show up on the S4 release date.
Additionally, I'm surprised BB matched Wal-Mart. The price match doesn't include wireless phones. At least that is what their policy states.

my BBY said they stopped that practice. And I was trying so hard to wait to see if my Radio Shack was getting it so i could do the $50 Play store card. but they have no info on it. So I called ATT chewed them out and got the silver one for $150 free overnight and no activation fee. Im currently siting by the door lol im so impatient couldn't wait any longer:laugh:
Anyone know? In the launch announcement, but it is in T-Mo and AT&T stores and no word from Big Red. Assuming they are trying to stagger with the Droid Turbo 2 launch, but lack of info is an issue...Would be even more frustrating if we missed the LG 200GB SD + battery/cradle promo because of this.
I called customer service yesterday to do some account maintenance and brought up the phone. The rep had not yet heard of it himself, but started looking immediately. I mentioned that I had signed up for their email notifier through the coming soon page, but that AT&T and T-Mobile had just put it up for pre-order. He found it in their coming soon area as well, but said they had not yet seen a training on the device. I've worked in cell phones for 11 years. Once they get their training the phone is out within a week, if not days. I would be very suprised if VZW didn't accounce by mid-next week, especially with that deal LG is offering. It just makes sense for it to be within that time frame. Also, the G4 was available for pre-order from all carriers about a week before VZW released it. Finger crossed, anyway.
I've been hearing that it'll be tomorrow (10/30/2015).
knowing verizon, they probably want people to miss the promo so people buy memory and batteries direct from VW.
I'm an optimist.
AT&T is releasing theirs on November 6th. If Verizon misses the 15th that would be an absolute disaster. I would absolutely lose my ****. $300 worth of free stuff down the drain.
I just left a VZW store. They're in stock. Not releasing until 10/30.
$299 on 2-year contract. $28/month on payment plan.
After 2 years, will your monthly price go down (by $28)?

10/30 according to Verizon rep
Was on the phone with a Verizon rep that was very excited to learn about the phone's existence (LG fan). He spent a few minutes digging around, then got back to me with 10/30 as actual release date - not just pre-order.
I guess VZW is keeping this launch quiet because they don't want it to spoil the Droid Turbo 2 release.
10/30 would be cool....was in Alabama store today and guy said he was looking for something else earlier and computer showed "in stock" but not for sale yet. I just took it with a grain of salt and didn't press, but now seems in line with these other reports. I'm moderately excited about this phone.
I just left the verizon store they go them at 6pm here in Maryland they rep said they will be selling tomorrow

What color combo/carrier did you order and what are you most excited about for this phone?
I personally preordered in the martian green with the silver spine. I placed the order shortly after pre-sale went live, while watching GoT. I can't wait to get my hands on new tech, i have been very impressed with my s10+ and hope to have a better experience with the fold.

By May 1st, but imagine it will come in by the 26th. Looks like they sold 4500 each of att and tmobile.
I got Martian Green with the gold spine. I figure a futuristic phone would look cool in a funky color. I specifically wanted the gold spine and it's only available with blue and green. The carriers are only selling black and silver with a grey and silver spine so I figure those will be the most common combinations. CNET just posted 70 hands-on pics and a lot of them are green. I don't regret my choice..

Gotta pay to play....and the crease is likely a result of first gen tech, I'm sure it will improve. That said, most reviewers are saying it fades out of sight as you continue to use it...much like a notch.

Seems like there was more demand than everyone expected. I just so happen to check my email on a whim and saw the Pre-orders now open link. It was an hour after they sent them out too. Once I saw that some colors were already gone I figured they were selling fast. Didn't expects those numbers though

Right now its only AT&T and Tmobile. It's possible they will release the phone to other carriers later on with the 5g variant. They still haven't said much about that model
I just pre-ordered the T-Mobile version. I'm planning on buying a pre-paid T-Mobile SIM, load it up with $100 worth of minutes/data, and then request an official unlock code from T-Mobile, as per their unlocking policy. Then I'll test out my Verizon SIM. Verizon is shutting down it's CDMA network at the end of the year, so as long as the Fold can handle LTE bands 2/4/5/13/66, it should hopefully be able to work on Verizon. If it ends up not working, I guess I'll be getting a refund from Samsung.

How are you going to get a refund if you would have used it for a while

You can get a refund from Samsung if the device is returned to them within 15 days, as long as it's in like-new condition. https://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/phones/standard-device-trial-policy/
But if for some reason they won't accept the return, I'll just sell it on eBay.
I also ordered a Martian Green with a Gold Hinge. I know that there will be many shortcomings with the Fold but I just couldn't resist. I do love being an early adopter and with that being said if I am totally dissatisfied with the Fold, I'll return it and just use my Note 9 until the N10 comes out. I think that I'm going to really like this phone and I'm so anxious to get it and hopefully won't want to return it.
On another note, when I ordered on Samsung.com, I took screenshots of each page as I ordered. Only the final confirmation page **did not** state the Martian Green color, only the gold hinge color. Also, my confirmation emails didn't show the Martian green color either (and the Shop Samsung app doesn't).
Did anyone else have this same experience? I chatted with two different Samsung Agents (one today, one yesterday) and they were worthless. Coldn't find any information. The one tonight said to wait until they are in stock to verify. WTH?!?
Damn I'm on T-Mobile and was only able to choose between silver and black. it sucks i wasn't able to choose the Samsung exclusive colors.
ended up getting the silver would have preferred the blue though with gold hinge
AT&T here, I was apprehensive about the phone but after watching the hands-on videos, it made me really want one. By then it was too late and Samsung.com was already out of pre-orders. Like you, I settled for the silver but really wanted the blue with gold hinge. My estimated delivery is the 24th, so we'll see how true that is. Super excited though, even with it's shortcomings I'm just ready for something super different. I remember when the Galaxy Note originally came out and people were going crazy at the size of it. I can only imagine the reactions when I pull the Fold out hahaha.

that's weird because during ordering if i choose the At&t version I was only able to select the blue/green colors but only silver/black with T-mobile.
and you say they were out of pre-orders but you were still able to get one?
Yah I also cannot wait to see the expressions on peoples faces, you will definitely get some looks lol
Oopps, sorry I didn't specify. Samsung.com pre-orders were already gone, I had to go on AT&T's site to pre-order instead. It looks like the pre-orders are still up for them with Silver and Black being the only colors.

Yeah i believe evryones is like this who ordered from Samsung . On mine it just shows hinge color as well. Ive even seen screenshots of others preorder and its the same. So no need to freak :good:
Anyone cancelling there pre order work all these fold units problems? I'm wondering whether to cancel it or if becomes big if Samsung going to hault the fold
Just read this:
https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/nicolenguyen/samsung-galaxy-fold-screen-failure
I'm hoping these are isolated cases. I did read it has a protective film on the inside that is Not to be removed but you better damn well tell the public about it FIRST!
