A full month after the other carriers? Err....if that's true, then what the hell is going on at Verizon? I mean, beside them holding off that long just so they can take a branding iron to the phone.
The only thing keeping me from being pissed-off (with Verizon) is I'm holding out for the 32GB unit which doesn't appear to be available yet.
The current pre-orders with other carriers are all for the 16GB unit.

At least they didn't brand the home button. Next to the Galaxy Note 2 that's a very acceptable level of branding for Verizon.
The delay is probably because they're putting a big fat lock on the bootloader

I heard from one of my sources that the bootloader may actually be left unlocked on this device. Although the source it is coming from I am not sure if they know what a bootloader is exactly. I just asked the question and that's what I was told but not with 100% certainty here. Take as you will.
The reason is there might be a 50% chancee the Verizon Version will have the 800 snapdragon that's why they are going to have that huge presentation in may to let people now about how Verizons will be a true beast compared to the others. So I'm and since the 800 is new it will be very very limited that's why only Verizon will have it and no bootloader Samsung already said no..

Stop posting your nonsense in our forums. Go troll somewhere else.
Lol... Late to the party as usual. Useless Verizon. At least they didn't put the ugly home button with Verizon logo this time. I don't know how anyone can stand the ugly Verizon logos on the front of the device.
From a customer service standpoint, it makes perfect sense from verizon.
Working at at&t, I can tell you it's going to customer complaint galore over here. The phones are on back order at least four days before they even hit stores. This means that in stores like mine they're going to have frustrated customers because we will hardly receive any phones the first month while at&t struggles to keep up with the preorders and that those who preordered will be pissed having to wait a good bit after release to receive a phone that they were supposed to receive a few days after release at the latest.
my guess is that Verizon wants some more time to sell off the leftover s3's. either that or they want to wait to see if there are any major bugs to be patched.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
I had 2 buggy verizon preorder s3's. 1 I still have to flash the ota's on because it says cannot connect to server and the other worked itself out(data wouldn't connect). I imagine that since they don't want all those silly warranty returns they are going to wait for the other carriers to launch and do a market study.

This is utter crap from verizon its just unacceptable for them to do thus to their customers. I'm seriously thinking about dumping them for T-Mobile. Not only will I save about 50-60$ a month but I can get my upgrades back, unlimited minutes, and gsm phones. Unlimited data only goes so far with verizon if they choke you everywhere else

I'm just dropping the $650 up front. 16GB+64GB is plenty.
Question is, can I just walk in on the 30th and buy one or are they going to be sold out? Wondering if I should pre-order to be safe.
Anyone know if you can still upgrade on another line and then activate phone on a line with unlimited data?

Absolutely. :good:
LOL, so glad I switched to Sprint. I refuse to wait another month! I couldn't even if I tried. My current phone is damaged & not worth making a claim, but still makes calls.
Crap, I just misread the date and thought it said April 30. Now I'm mad. There's no way to get an "unlocked" one elsewhere and get it going on their network? I don't care where I buy the thing if I'm paying full price anyway.

I got that email myself today, funny thing is, I cancelled my preorder last week since i was about to hit 30 days to return the giftcard and once the buyback program was off the table I was out of there
I just saw this on androidandme and came here to post it....
I sure hope this is correct. The font difference doesn't bother me...I've worked for companies that have different fonts in the same sentence. Some people don't care, especially on internal docs.
What I wish it didn't say was "release dates subject to change".
I'm still going to keep hoping this phone comes out next week. I've been tempted to dump VZ but honestly, I'm worried the other companies service is going to be sub par.....and the only other phone that interests me is from Samsung....which also makes me not interested. LOL

I ported my number to AT&T to get the Inspire 4G. AT&T is sub par, at least in my area. I have until 3/22 to port back to Verizon so I'm hoping too its 3/17.
So what made you return the Atrix?

Resolution bothered me a lot; everything was super small. Plus, the screen was long and skinny and I wanted something more proportional like the TB or Inspire.

Looks like the 17th it is. Our VZW Business Rep confirmed I'll be able to order with him over the phone. He of course, did say, "unless something crazy happens and they dont let us sell it"
So excited!!!!!!!!!
17th it appears to be.
From my EVO with Cyanogen
Just saw a commercial for the thunderbolt. First ive seen. Signs seem to be pointing at a release fairly soon.
I would put money on the official announcement coming from VZ tomorrow if the 17th is indeed going to be the day. Not a lot of money....gotta buy accessories.

The phone is launching on the 17th, there is no doubt about it. Its official, and an annoucement should be made tomorrow morning.
P.S. Some stores are opening at 7 AM. I would call your local store to double check. If you're in the LA area, pm me and I'll give you the info to the stores that I know of that are opening early Thursday.
God I hope that the 17th actually sticks! I love my Evo but Sprint service sucks at my job and we have a Verizon cell of some kind there with antennas all throughout the building so I'm dying to be able to make the switch now that they'll have an awesome 100% hackable phone!

EDIT
Most everyone who pre-ordered has received a tracking number and a
"Scheduled For Early Delivery On:
Thursday, 05/24/2012"
So please don't re-post that information.
Feel free to continue discussion on other shipping/tracking/delivery related topics.
THANKS!
old...
Everyone who has placed a Evo 4G LTE Pre-order is expecting shipment information ANY MOMENT NOW.
Sprint (who I placed my order with about 2 minutes after pre-orders opened) should be sending notification emails out to us as soon as out phones ship, but I consider that unlikely to happen in a timely fashion.
Please use this thread to post when you receive your shipping confirmation/tracking number so that the rest of us can start refreshing our respective order status pages furiously.
The currently accepted Sprint methods of checking for tracking numbers are:
1. Wait @ your email inbox for a confirmation email
2. Visit www.sprint.com/myorder and type in your order number
It is important to note here that the order number found on your sprint.com order history (starts with DM...) will give you bogus info here. You need to find the preorder confirmation email that has an order number starting with "OY"
3. Gordon Ramsay's method here
Note: Some people have reported inconsistent information from this method and it may not be 100% accurate. Still, please report any interesting results if you try it.
If you'd like me to add anything to the OP about other pre-order suppliers, post "@addisonhammer"
Good Luck, and PLEASE REPORT ANY SHIPMENTS!
Note: Please keep idle chatter to a minimum, I'd like to avoid the banhammer here. The point is to crowd-source Evo Shipment info so I can actually work today instead of just wearing out my F5 key. I can't do that if people post on here bi7chin' and moanin' or talking about the SG3 or iPhone. So don't.

Yes, but it is still pretty early. Considering the sheer volume of posts on the original "Preorder/Customs" thread late into the night (before being closed...) i would expect that volume on XDA wont pick up until later this morning.
I tried the methods and didnt find info about my tracking numbers, but as several others have posted, many times items are shipped and delivered before tracking numbers are posted.
I will continue to read the threads today and hope to have a package when I get home from work tonight. If not, hopefully it will ship tonight and get it tomorrow.

Best Buy is open this time? Are they shipping to stores or shipping to you?
UPS process verified?
*EDIT: I withdraw my questioning of this process. Even though there were 2 reference numbers created, I can limit the date to a smaller window, and my tracking information is now available.
hey guys,
i've been keeping up with this whole debacle since i placed my pre-order on may 7.
has anyone actually verified this suggested tracking number retrieval process that everyone is clinging to for hope? at least for me, i'm 99% sure it's not the information i'm trying to find. whenever i follow this process, the UPS system says that my delivery was completed 5/17/12 at 1:05pm in North Carolina.
i live in Oklahoma... additionally, Sprint still lists my order as in progress, not completed.
there haven't been many others that i've seen have much or any luck with this either. most people can't even get it to find their elusive shipment information in the UPS system.
just wanted to throw this info out there for anyone receiving strange results while using the suggested method.
Sounds like it was just a coincidence that another shipment used a reference number that matched your Sprint account number.
I'm not saying one way or another if the Sprint account number is used by UPS as a reference number, just saying that with the massive amount of shipments in their system, it isn't unlikely for their to be a few coincidental matches.

I have actually suspected this method myself... but I recently completed an order for a new iPhone for my wife (i know... yuck) and that order shows up when i do the UPS "Search by Reference" method.
Interestingly, if i look at the order information page, it shows the iPhone order as "Pending" and has no tracking number. Hmmm....

Yea, I was considering doing the same thing. But Im really torn between the 2. Evo lte or galaxy nexus. I was initially waiting on the g-nex, but after realizing there is no sd slot (which I dont think I can coupe with) and a lower res cam (why on earth would they do that) plus the addition to the evo's cam abilities, slow mo + hdr and to top it off with an 8 mp cam and 2.0 fstop and micro sd, its kinda hard to ignore all of that, not to mention a faster processor (which im sure the gnex will be oc'ed and the evo too) and slightly bigger screen.
PLUS (caps intended) for only $150? Its like I have no other choice but to pick the evo over the gnex (altho I know primarily what Im speaking is entirely off topic) so yea, I will be pre-ordering this week sometime, not knowing how long I will be waiting.
To answer your question though (which I've forgotten by now): N/A
I just ordered one yesterday and it said 2-3 weeks before shipping. I'm not good for a new phone till June 1, so they'll put it through then. And the insurance is only $6.99 a month.
Just checked my order status and it still says approved awaiting inventory. 7:55 pm on Monday.

As far as the webpages looking the same, thats just a Portal Tool they use to order phones/services through Service providers, however that's all they have in common, stocking/inventory is still through Sams Club and webpage has nothing to do with that.
Clearly the Sams Rep. had no clue about the phone being held by customs. Getting my hopes ugh curse her!
Anyways so i called Wal-Mart last week (before pre-ordering from Sams) and they tell me that they don't carry Sprint.
I go today to get a few things and i checked out their Electronics section just for the heck of it. SURE ENOUGH I SEE SOMEONE purchasing the Brown Boxed LTE EVO! Boy did i get excited, so when I ask that i wanted one too, they told me that, that was the last one. and they had no clue when they were going to get more in. UGH!
I also slightly fussed about why someone told me that they didn’t carry sprint, they gave me no response, just said “I don’t know why they told you that.” Talk about poor communications to customers.
I also pre-ordered in store through Sam's Club for $149.74. Their orders are handled by cellstores.com which is a service of Simplexity. We are all in the same boat as the Wirefly group. Waiting without any info from Sam's Club, Sprint or Simplexity.
Although they did tell me in store last Thurs (5/24) that it would ship Friday (5/25) and I would have it Tuesday (5/29) because of the holiday. Didn't believe her then and I absolutely do not believe her now.
I sent a pretty nasty email to Sam's and they offered me a Bluetooth headset. I really don't want a cheap headset I want to know when will I get my phone! I guess in the future I will use BB or Sprint.

Just got this email...Sound familiar?
Dear xxxxxxxx,
We are very sorry for the inconvenience that you have experienced with your preorder of the Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE through Sam's Club Mobile. While the situation is completely out of our control, this is certainly not the sort of customer experience that we endeavor to provide and we regret the delays you are experiencing.
At this point, you probably know that inventory for the HTC EVO 4G LTE is severely constrained nationwide. The latest information we have is that US Customs officials only released a small fraction of the device last week and the entire first shipment was just released (see article for additional information). We are in constant contact with Sprint and will send you an email with the latest official information as soon as we can.
In the meantime, we appreciate your patience. As a token of our appreciation for your loyalty, we are upgrading your shipping to Next Business Day at no additional charge. It isn’t much, but we feel it is the least we can do.
Thanks again for shopping with us. We greatly appreciate your business and hope to be shipping your new HTC EVO 4G LTE soon.
Sincerely,
Your Friends at Sam's Club Mobile
Sorry but Sam's offers Next Business Day Shipping from the get go. Thanks for nothing.....
I actually just received that email. Ill post the one I got earlier offering the headset.

usually new products wont go on sale on black friday!! but keep in mind you always have 30days policy so even if you get it now and tell them you got your phone 20 days ago and you want the same deal as everyone else.... they should take care of you!...

Congrats on getting a Note 2 man! Hopefully we'll still see you around every once in a while.
Mind if I asked where/how you got it?
My upgrade isn't available for a while, and I'm not sure adding a line and then paying the extra 10 bucks a month for it to get the subsidized fee is worth it. What's the most economical way? Is ATT selling it off contract for $599 like they do with most if their phones?
Hey james...Actually me and my wife signed up for AT&T in March 2012...I've had a few problems with my phone...But I called 611 and got through a sales rep...I asked politely since am having some phone issues if could receive a early upgrade...He asked his supervisor and whalaa..The phone is 299.I received the upgrade for my line but not my wifes....(she has a s2) And that was it...I had to use a credit card to put the phone on a hold until it ships then they charge the credit card...Its worth a shot if you had it...the worst they can say is no..But if so..Sell your current device in CL for 300 or 350 and use that for your upgrade..so your not using anything....Try it ..Can't hurt :thumbup:

I'm in the same situation with my RF and SD issues. I'll give it a shot asap.
what kind of sd card do you have?..I just realized mine is a 16gb class 2 sd card...That's a very slow read/write speed ..
There was a sd card fix somewhere I would try First though before deleting anything I'll look for it .
Here is some info on classes of micro sd cards and there read/write speeds I found this...Am getting a faster one for the note2....

I was also having trouble with my Note and finally after speaking to a supervisor, he said I could get any other phone for the upgrade price (except the iphone). I told him I wanted the Note 2. He told me the system would not let him order that since it had not come out yet. This was last Friday. I told him I would wait then. He said he was putting the offer in my case notes. So I plan to call back this Friday and hopefully get the Note 2.

Having trouble with calls. I keep fading in and out and my wife is so frustrated she won't answer my calls. I can hear the other party, but they can't hear me and it happens no matter what location I am at.
Mine is up on CL but I'm gonna go the nexus 4 route.
Love my note but I'm ready for vanilla android with speedy updates.

I'm with wish on this one...My note 2 will be in my hands tomorrow. I hate to leave this little community. It's always hard leaving when I upgrade because of all the cool people on here. The plus side is that usually most the people get your next phone also. Well, time to travel on...

This is a rather long narrative, but it illustrates the inconsistency of dealing with AT&T. I know we have all have read posts in these forums and thought to ourselves that they must be lying, because I tried the same thing, but I did not get that result. So anyway I called this morning to get my upgrade and was told I must have misunderstood, because I had owned my phone for only 8 months and it is impossible to get an upgrade. I said there were supposed to be notes on this, and they said there were, but it was unclear whether it was a standard upgrade or just an early upgrade, and that they were not able to contact the supervisor who I spoke to. They said they still wanted to help and the fourth person I spoke to came up with this elaborate plan. I would add a dummy line for $10 a month and they could have my new phone added to this number. They would give me $150 credit and also credit 6 months of email ($90) so the $10 for the 24 months of my commitment would be a wash. I told him that I did not want any of my plan to change, since much of it is grandfathered rates. He said he could code it so it would stay the same. So right before he was to confirm, he said sorry, I would have to change to a family plan. I said no, and asked him why he could code in this complicated plan, but couldn't do some code for an upgrade. He said he couldn't and after a 2 hour phone conversation I was back at square one. So this afternoon I called back to find out what it would cost me to discontinue service and decided I would switch to another carrier and get a new Note 2. The guy asked me why I was canceling my service, I told him and he said he looked at my account and I have really been put through the wringer. He said he could help, and I said I have heard that line before. About ten minutes later he came back on the line said he had authorized an upgrade and for my inconvenience will deduct $50 from the price and charge me $249.99. He also said he will throw in free priority shipping and I will receive it Monday. After giving him my credit card number and thanking him he said wait, I see your last statement has just come out, to keep you as a valued customer, we will pay that also, I am marking that as paid right now. You could have knocked me over with a feather. As I was typing this, I received my email confirmation that it has already shipped. What a crazy deal.
I'm sure you have seen this posted on other phone's thread but I just want to make sure everyone has the chance to see it. Not only can you get an upgrade for 50% off it is working for people who chose month to month. So pick up your phone of choice for around 300 off contract!
For off contract price: ****EDIT: Looks like they removed the Month to month option*********
Just select the device you want from https://www.att.com/shop/wireless/devices/cellphones.html you can select to either create a new line, add a line or upgrade(they all work). Change it to "month to month" and go through the check out and select whatever plan you want and when you get to the final page of checkout you will see the 50% off promotion take 50% off! After you receive your phone you can decide if you want to cancel the plan or keep it
Discounted price:
Of course its the same thing just keep the 2 year price before checking out. You must do an upgrade or add a line.
:good:
You probably will never see this again, 100 for a top of the line phone with an upgrade OR 300 off contract
I would recommend the S4 Active I would have recommended the HTC One but you probably already have one

Yeah Ive already ordered about 6 phones so far.
Watch out for the bunch of snobs on the forums casting judgement atop their stallion of morality and this would be constituted as "fraud". They will also tell you that you came here to the forums to "brag" about coming "fraud" blah blah blah...
If you have a premier account there is also a "glitch" that allows you to upgrade your lines with a 50% discount as long as youre at least a couple months into your contract

It's a promotion. The glitch is that it's only supposed to be for upgrades and new activations. I just paid $300 for an off contract S4 Active
I wonder if I called them I'd be able to swing an upgrade a month early.

Last time I talked to them online they quoted me that they could be pushed into upgrade up to 3 months ahead of the upgrade day. Just quote me "My friend said that when he called the lady told him that you can upgrade up to three months... are you saying that he is a better customer than me"
That should do the trick, then get them to price match the promotion and dont forget about waiving the activation (it's a part of the promotion)

Weird I ordered online but then I called and they were able to credit me the other 136
I purchased my One last week in store. Just called AT&T and they agreed to price match the promo. I will be recieving a $100 credit on my bill.

It's OK. Doing fine with 32 gb. Think I'll buy the next iThing when it comes out and turn it over on ebay for profit.
Let us know if this deal fell through. It sounds too good to be true.

Hmmm...One of my lines only has a "discounted iPhone upgrade" available" and it shows $449 for a 16GB iPhone 5, but when I select it the total price is only $100... discounted from the full upgrade price of $199. LOL
Can you combine with the $100 trade in credit
