Hey guys,
How many of you ordered from T-Mobile and your S5 is on backorder? I ordered a Black one last night (after returning my M8) and it said in stock when I ordered, it finished processing and then I got an email this morning stating it was back ordered
Hopefully it ships soon, I'm kinda pissed cause I paid for the fast shipping too. Now I'm stuck with my old Nexus 4 (dat battery life ) until it comes in. Anyone else in a similar situation?
I called two stores yesterday and they both had multiple in stock. I just walked right in and bought one.

Hmm, so a pretty high demand area? I'm from South Jersey which is a pretty high populated area so that's why I figured no one had any.

Can I ask why you were trading in the M8? I have the exact opposite situation.
P.S. didn't mean to hit thanks on the previous post.

Ha no probs.
I traded it back in for the S5 because I really didn't like the way the device felt. It was tall and it was narrow which made it awkward to hold IMO, and this is coming from me having a Note 3, which I was fine with. Sense, although incredibly fast and beautiful, was somewhat boring to me and left me asking for more. I also didn't particularly like the camera and wanted more that the S5 provides.

I picked up two (2nd for the GF) from the store in downtown SF this morning. They just got more black models in so they have both in stock.
Don't worry about it so much, shipments arrive every week. Mine was on back ordered, you'll soon get it was shipped status.

Well, all T-Mobile stores must have gotten shipments yesterday because after work my local store had a bunch of blacks in so I called in to T-Mobile to cancel. They said they did.
Get home, open up my newly purchased S5 activate it, set up me email and get a notification that my T-Mobile order that was supposed to be cancelled shipped
Oh well, at least I got one!
I just walked into the store on release day, talked to my buddy that I always talk to and walked out with a shiny new white S5. I've bought the new Galaxy on release day since the 3, 4 and now 5 all in white. I'm officially a Samsung fanboy.

Definitely not back ordered, as I walked into my local T-Mobile store and purchased a charcoal black S5 with new service.
They seem to have over anticipated the demand for white and under anticipated the demand for black. I had to call around for about 6 stores to find one in black and they had only received a couple in the order, so I zipped down and grabbed it. Then I had a hard time finding a black otterbox case, everyone had white but no black, but I found one at an AT&T store lol

Just wondering if anyone has seen working GS3 phones at the corporate stores. Would love to handle one and see how it is.
They only display the demo units a day or 2 before the scheduled sale of the device in most areas.

Hi, I checked 10 stores in New York and still only 2 stores had it, and they don't have display models in the store. I think once it goes on sale or its going to be available in stores we will have more people here. The phone is a beautiful phone and it will get sales.

Over here in California (bay area) they (AT&T) won't have them in until the end of November due to "clearing out the devices for the newer one's" in order to make space for the new one's, weird how they managed to squeeze in the GIANTIC GNII

Does anyone know if AT&T plans to have floor models of the HTC One available before April 19th? I'm basically ready to preorder at this point, but I'm not entirely comfortable dropping $200 or $300 without at least handling the device.
The store I stopped at today wasn't expecting any floor models, but I'm also not sure really sure how reliable the salesman I talked to was.

Yeah, now that the initial high has passed, I'm kinda grumpy that I have to wait another 10 days to play with it again.
Coming from a One X, the burst mode speed (one of my favorite features) is ridiculous. It took like 15 pictures in roughly 2 seconds.

Good to see another One XL migrant
I'll always have a special place in my heart for my One X, especially running CM10.1. It'll be a great backup phone to mess around with going forward...but man, the One was something else. I'm probably biased right now, of course, and reality will likely temper my feelings over time. Still, I'm not the kind of person to upgrade phones every year - I went from an iPhone 3G, to an iPhone 4, to a One X...but something (or everything) about the One made me change my mind.
I'm hoping the One will last me a long, long time though.

yep, south park store. Yea I paid full retail also, so there is no reason to have to put up with that. Do you know if exchanges have to be done at store you purchased from? Asking because I work in uptown, and it would be easier to just go to that store.

I work downtown as well, but kind of on the outskirts by Dilworth. I believe you can return to the EpiCenter store based on their policy from their site.
http://www.att.com/shop/wireless/returnpolicy.html#fbid=hWWFXshHQ-K
"How do I return my device?
If you bought the device at an AT&T retail store during the applicable return period, return it to any AT&T retail store.
If you bought the device online at att.com or over the phone from AT&T during the applicable return period, mail the device back to AT&T or bring it to any AT&T retail store. Be sure to keep your tracking number."
Call that store first to make sure they have the device on hand. The only issue you may run into is according to their policy, you can only exchange once. I've managed to exchange twice as the SouthPark store though, no fees.
Got mine yesterday. I was gonna get the silver and mentioned to the guy I was really liking the black one(didn't know they had them yet). Worked out great.
I like the black one to just afraid it's going to scratch.

Just swapped my Silver for the Black.
The Black feels a tad more grippier to hold. The Silver feels good, but it's a hunk of metal and hard to hold.
The Black looks great, but people wont know what kind of phone it is vs the Silver is going to draw attention.
ATT had one ok case which I bought, but I think I'm going caseless to see how the phone hold up.
If it shows scratches pretty easy then I plan on going back to the Silver.
Just installed a Zagg full body shield. It actually adds a nice gloss finish to the back. It's also less of a finger print magnet.

Since I was outside of the 14 day exchange period I had to make a warranty claim through att for the "gap gate" issues on mine as well as the unresponsive capacitive keys. So they are sending me a Black one and they even waived the priority shipping fee. Hopefully it will get here Wednesday.

I'm at my local BB, no one is here! They open at 10am. I will be first in line. I bought the LG G2 last thurs to replace my note 2. Big mistake!!! Once you go Big you never go back.
The G2 felt extremely small, even with the 5.2" display it just felt wrong! I used it for about an hour and I still haven't taken the protective film off. It's been sitting in the box on my desk for a week.
Hopefully it's an easy exchange process and I'm out quickly. I gave my cousin my note 2 in exchange for his upgrade and I've been using the iPhone 5 from my business line.
10am can't come fast enough!!!!!!!!!!!
UPDATE:
2 people just pulled up! They are sitting in their car. It appears we are sizing each other up. I'm pretty sure I can beat them to the front door, they look out of shape! It's raining here, so no one wants to stand outside. This might get ugly!!!!! LOL

I read about your situation in the pre-order thread. That absolutely sucks and sounds like something that would happen to me.
