Yupper.
Sick of waiting, figured I'd give the 611/Retention scheme a try and was surprised when the CSR went ahead and processed my order with no hassles whatsoever. Never even had to do the whole retention thing. Retail price was $350 -$50 loyalty discount w/ waived upgrade fee and $50 MIR(form being snail mailed she said).
Take it for what it's worth...there still isn't an "official release date for retail" and maybe I just got lucky, but there it is.

The core stores will be able to sell the Tilt 2 on the 18th of this month.
On the phone ordering now, but they have to go through their system and not the website. Through retail/611
got mine thru CSR too. ordered it this morning.
I called them, tried to get transferred to retentions but they wouldn't transfer because they said that retentions is an internal department. so I asked the CS rep if I could upgrade to the tilt 2.
I told her I would go to T-mo since they sell the phone for $50 on the win-mo website, so she dropped it to 300, then took an additional 50 off for loyalty. so I paid 250 w/ MIR.
I couldn't wait any longer. ridiculous AT&T. ridiculous.
I ordered mine as well this morning and hoping it will come tomorrow since it is overnight shipping
Just ordered mine!
$350 - 50 MIR, and the CSR was very nice -- she waived my upgrade and Premium shipping fees.
Bit miffed I couldn't get it at the prices some people were getting through Premier -- or sooner, for that matter -- but I'll live.
No one is getting cheaper than that because people are just talking since no one is ready to show the receipt

What are "core stores"? Are they official At&t retail stores and not "retail partners"?
$125 Got it today
I had already posted this in another thread.
I paid the $350 +TAX will obiously use the $50 rebate. Got FedEx next day shipping for free. Got a $175 credit onto my account to offset the cost of the phone. So my price will be $125 +TAX all said and done. It wasnt very hard to get them to work with me. Since they credited the account not discounting the device I will still get to use the MIR.
Good Luck everyone. Hope to see you get great deals!

cheaper then what? i got mine for 199.99. i'll show you the receipt when i receive my phone on friday if you want.
Some stores have already gotten tilt 2s in. And some will already sell them before oct. 18th. One store here got 4 in today when I stopped in looking for a case for mine and said they would sell them today. Granted many stores may not see them till the 18th or sell them till then. You can always call around as I did to find out. I ordered mine thru rententions yesterday (I got it today 299.99 free overnight shipping plus a 50.00 mail in rebate =249.99) It all depends what rep you get, what mood there in and how generous they feel.
For those of you who are getting the tilt 2 for ~$249.99, is this with a new 2 year contract??

Yep. That's what I got mine for. I didn't mind re-upping.
Hi,
Just ordered mine from 611/CSR.
Rep I spoke to gave no indication it was not available and I played along, I just want my Tilt2. Got it for $299.99 plus MIR (Had a $50 upgrade credit available)
So should have it in 2 Bus. days.
Thanks for the heads-up.
Picked mine up at a corporate store last night. I did not previously order one or have one on reserve, just called as asked. They said they received a few in their shipment yesterday (10/14 US, 14/10 for those on the other side of the lake).

How did you do that? Did you just ask them straight up or did you have to play some games with them? I'd like to know.
I just picked up my Tilt 2 from a retail store. The lady seemed more than happy to sell it to me. She said they got 3 in and she didn't seem to know anything about the 18th release date.
I did call numerous other stores before I ended up at the one that sold me the phone. One store said they only had the Pure in, another said the release date was the 18th, another said that they got the Tilt 2 in but was unable to sell it at the non-commitment price because they had so little in (I then asked her how long she thought I would have to wait before I could buy it at the non-commitment price, and she said 'about a month').
Anyway, i'm just glad I got the phone. I am loving it. The screen is beautiful and I haven't encountered any issues so far. Totally worth the $499 I paid.
Yay!!
I just got mine last night! I have a family member who works at one store and I know people from the CSR's up to the Reigonal Mgrs. They all have been told to say the 18th...a Sunday?? But they started getting shipments as of yesterday.
Some stores are going to have MS people setup Kiosks and show people the Pure and the Tilt 2.
Now... when to start flashing.
See ya Fuze... it was great while it lasted! 8)

What did you say or do to get that price + rebate?
Just had a call from T-Mobile - my phone will be with me by 1pm tomorrow.
Just called them myself on the strength of this and was told that they are out of them already, so I assume that they went to existing orders. I only ordered on the 30th (was only eligible for upgrade then) so people who had earlier orders may be lucky. Guess that Means I shall have to wait till next Tuesday at the earliest now.
Just gave them a call and they said mine had been sent out
I think I was on the priority list though.
I order mine on 26th and have just got my email saying its winging its way.
My second one is on its way, I will be interested to see if there are any software changes. Just got text from tmobile saying my second line is active.
just ordered mine:
£15pm
100mins
unlimited texts
unlimited internet
£124 for the phone DDDDDDDD the original price is 164 but said my friend got his for 124 so i want mine for the same price haha
total £394 where in CPW PAYG is for 399 same as hero
out of stock right now but will be delivered on sunday lol so guessing there will be another stock delivery tomorrow or friday
I got the same tariff as cez10, however mine is £10pm and phone was £120!
Ordered Saturday, haven't heard back
Cant wait!
If I was to order one from T-mobile now, when do you think I would get it?

i have just ordered mine bout 10 mins ago and the woman clearly said sunday, i dont know who is working on easter sunday but she definitely said it twice
Placed my upgrade order at 17:30 tonight (online using T-mob's new 'chat' facility ) and was told "should be in the next 7 days" when I asked about delivery. There's no consistency in their answers is there?
I ordered my desire yesterday and was told they were out of stock but more were due in today. I just got a call from them to say my phone will be sent out today for tomorrow delivery.

how do you use the chat facility? do you have to me a present member of t-mobile?
No you just view desire price plans and you will be offered to chat if they're available.
Speaking of chat.. They are very rude. They seem to have no idea if they are in stock. I told them Ill order one right now if they have in stock. and they said they couldnt price check mobilephonesdirect.
I'll post a transcript here if I entered the email correctly..
EDIT: Oh and they cut me off straightaway after I said "I'll order one..". Wierd humans...
Yeah I got through. I said I'd go through them if they price matched mobilephonesdirect, but they could only offer the deals shown on the website. Shame.
It arrived at 8am this morning. WooHoo!
Just checked the T-Mobile website and my upgrade has been processed. Of course delivery is not possible now for the 4 days of Easter, but at least I know it will be on its way.
If it helps, my order was an Upgrade ordered about 8am on the 30th.
ADDENDEM: just got off the phone, was told there was a 40% chance I could get it Saturday (I assume that this is due to limited deliveries on the weekend), but then he checked and confirmed it will be Tuesday.
I just ordered mine and got a delivery date of 09/26/2010

I can't pre order.. Apparently my account cannot shop online.. will call them up in the morning and find out what's happening.
Umm, what's up with this $18 "upgrade" fee ****? Argh.
Yeah, so nice how the total comes out to $302.80.
Currently is telling me I won't get it until Oct 6th, but I hope that's wrong.
I hate MiRs.
Just pre-ordered mine. Also says that I'll get it on the sixth. Hopefully it's wrong so I can sport a G2 outside the T-Mo outlet at the mall on the 5th... bwuahaha.

Delivery information
Your T-Mobile G2 will be delivered to your shipping address on October 6, 2010
Is T-Mobile allowing customers to upgrade to a G2, even if they're currently under contract and not otherwise eligible for an upgrade at the low price?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using Tapatalk
Nope, did not pre-order. For several reasons:
Too expensive: It's $249 up front, then a $50 rebate
The rebate is a card. Meaning it's one of those pre-paid Visa cards, which means I can only use it for buying stuff, and not for paying off the credit card.
Only one pre-order per account...I have two lines that are both eligible for upgrades, and I want a G2 for each line. Nope, only one pre-order.
Even if I could pre-order two, with the rebate crap, and upgrade fees, etc., that would mean nearly $600 up front.
It'll only be a week or two after launch that Amazon, Wirefly, etc. is selling it for $99. It's total suckage to have to wait, but if it means saving $300ish, then it's worth it.
Just ordered mine.......it is going to seem like FOREVER for this to get here!!
I think I'm going to wait and try it out in the store first. I was very disappointed with how quiet/crackly the Nexus One's speaker phone was.
Plus, I want to read a few reviews too.
I just ordered mine a couple of hours ago, should be here within a couple of days. We have the espresso right now and that phone is actually not a bad phone at all but I'm wanting something a bit beefier and the woman is still using her old g1, so I'm going to get the g2 and she's going to get my old espresso.
I just hope this phone reclaims the throne for android phones again like the g1 did back when it first came out.
I too just pre-ordered, and grandfathered my unlimited loyalty plan in from the g1, but I forgot to download the Rebate Form and now I can't find it. Can someone post it, or a link? Many thanks!
I ordered mine. I am selling my Vibrant for this. I am so tired of the Laggy POS that is the Vibrant. I went from Nexus to the Vibrant and now to the G2. I think I will be more pleased with the HTC device.
On another note, I don't think Wirefly will have it for $99. As an example the Vibrant is $99 from wirefly but the Samsung Epic is $199. The Epic is $250.00 from sprint and you get a $50 mail in rebate, so I would expect this phone to be about the same.

Hey Guys,
Any of you have the SERO Plan? Are you looking to upgrade to the Note 4 and still keep your SERO plan?
I love my SERO plan, but I am having issues getting in on deals outside of the sprint website. They sites cannot recognize my plan since it is expired.
Please do tell your experience in trying to get the Note 4 and where you are getting it from.
I have SERO too... and SERO can only buy phones through their website, no where else. So have to pay full price or 350 for 2 year contract.
Im on sero, preordered from sprint online. No problems.
same here. SERO 500 premium preordered on sprint website no problem.
Sero is still around?
Sent from my SGNote 3
I've also been unable to upgrade online with my SERO premium account. I get a message that says that I need to change plans to upgrade. I don't have any options to pre-order. Can't do best buy, can't in sprit stores, and can't online...

Just disregard the message, change the plan, and proceed to pre-order the phone. When you do get the phone, just make sure you call sprint and have them transfer you to the SERO department(that is not its exact name... I forget whatnot is called). They will activate the note foe you using your sero plan.
If you are scared to do that, you can call sprint and they will confirm what I just said.
My only issue is that I can't get in on any online deals because the sero plan is expired ... I haven't tried going into bestbuy and see if BestBuy call sprint if they would activate the phone with my sero plan. I have not pre-order the note, and I am waiting to see if I would be able to get it through BestBuy and keep my sero plan.

The price has actually been dropped to $300 to compete with other providers. I plan on trading in an old Galaxy SII and then getting Samsung to to cover the difference up to $200 so this should be a pretty good deal.

Here's the thing, it is on back order because it is not currently availabe in stock. I got a customer representative to confirm this information. So I think we should be fine.
Well, originally I was told I would get the $50 refund if I called back after receiving the phone. However, after reading in this thread that others got their refund immediately, I entered a chat session with a sales rep, who told me that I would have to cancel the order, and place a new one at the lower price, however, that would result in me getting the phone at some date later than the launch date.
So, I decided to call. I was told by the CS lady on the phone that a $50 credit would be applied to my account within 24 hours of my call. Hah, three different answers. The third time I contacted them, I got what I wanted. I will have to monitor my account to make sure the credit is applied.
Also, she said that with all pre-orders, the product should arrive on the day that the phone is launched in stores (the 17th). I hope that's true. Has anyone else done a pre-order by internet or phone? Is that how it works?
I have seen where some t mobile customers phones have shipped. I thought I would make a thread so we could keep up with actual shipping times for Sprint.
I pre-ordered from best buys website last week and paid for expedited shipping. I'll post as soon as it ships.

I tried to order in the store on Monday and they told me they were out of pre-orders. I talked to the manager and they are going to give me the $200 gift card when I receive my phone even though I had to have it shipped to my house. I picked up a net 10 smartphone for $20 that day to use as my trade in.

I pre-ordered online. I noticed the pre-authorization that Sprint put on my debit card got credited back, so once they put in the actual charge for the device and ship it, I'll make sure to post here.
That's interesting because my charge wasn't a preauthorization. It was a real charge that posted to my american express a day after I made the purchase. I just checked it again and it is still there.

Interesting. I had to pay a down payment with mine (that's what sucks when you have no credit and pay cash for everything in your life). So I paid $250 + estimated sales tax of $53.38, so a total of $303.38. They pre-authed that amount to my debit card. A day later, Sprint changed the order total, as the system charged me too much sales tax. The actual tax owed is $48.60, so the actual total was $298.60, so they credited me the $303.38 and will instead charge the proper $298.60 once the device ships.
sprint pre-order
I pre-ordeed through Sprint on the telephone on Oct 6........still waiting for tracking #
$320.99 has been charged to my debit card
I as well paid the 299 (349 without the credit coming) plus tax upfront the day I pre ordered it. My order went in 4 minutes after the pre orders started and within about 2 minutes it showed up through my bank and cleared just a day later. I expected sprint to charge me for the upgrade fee but they did not yet. Maybe they are waiting for me to actually do the swap.
The T-mobile thread definitely has me wondering if Sprint is sitting on a bunch of Note 4's and just waiting to get them shipped just in time for the 17th. If Sprint ships UPS it will show up in MyUPS and I will get an email. Hoping to see some activity on Monday.
I pre-ordered through best buy and they charged my card the full amount ($903 which includes expedited shipping) but then it wasn't showing on there a couple of days later. I called to make sure my order wasn't cancelled and the best buy rep told me the card would be charged when the phone ships.
I'm supposed to be getting a price match of $720 then a $200 best buy gift card for trading a working smartphone. I hope this works out like the store manager says.
I was in my local Sprint Store today for repair of my wife's G3 and I mentioned that T-mobile users were already getting their Note 4. The first guy said "Impossible, Samsung will not allow it" but the guy in the back room working on someones phone said "Yeh my brother got his a few hours ago" he continued with the possibility that Sprint will start shipping on Monday or Tue for pre-orders in order to guarantee that it will be delivered by the end of the day on release date. So some may get it as early as Wed or as late as Friday. Nothing is for certain as Sprint may wait till Thursday and ship it next day air saver (assuming they use UPS) in which case it could be as late at 8 P.M Friday.
In my opinion I cant see Sprint waiting to the last second. Yes pre-ordering has its advantage of making sure you get your phone in que but I cant see them making it available in stores on Friday morning while the rest of us who pre ordered are just waiting on delivery. I am willing to bet the Wed or Thur delivery is a bit more reasonable. My neighbor did not pre-order but is planning on just walking into sprint when they open on Friday to buy one. Would be a crappy feeling to see him with his Note 4 before me when I ordered it 3 weeks ago.
dat $200 tradein tho
I pre-ordered through Best Buy and called their "mobile hotline" today to check on arrival date and they said it's currently in transit with delivery on the 16th. I'm hoping Best Buy doesn't hold it for a day to be released, but there's potential for people who purchased through BB that'll their device will be a day early.
The sales rep told me (if he knew what he was talking about) when I pre-ordered on sept 26th, first day of allowed pre-order that I would probably be on the second shipment due to the number of orders already placed that day so possibly there is a Oct 15th arrival for the initial group.
When I spoke to Sprint today I got quite the run around. When I check my order, which was placed on the third, It's still sitting in the same state it was at when I originally received the order number. Called this afternoon to ask and was told that Sprint has yet to receive any phones, which I'm sure isn't true, and that all the blame is on Samsung. I asked how T-Mobile customers received their phones and was pretty much ushered off the phone. I was told that the release date was "around" October 17th and was then hung up on.
I don't even care, I assume they'll do right by us, I just hate receiving the BS canned responses.
There is a discussion going on over at the official Sprint forums. Someone who claims to work at UPS says that on Monday he saw the the labels which indicate a Tue Wed ship out. Now I don't work for UPS but I thought that the company who is shipping would do the printing, taping, and sending to UPS. I cant see sprint showing up with 10,000 phones and all the UPS employees having to tape the labels on the boxes before ship. I can see the info being sent electronically though and maybe this person has access to it.
I keep reading that AT&T is shipping Monday night into Tuesday. No word from Verizon or Sprint.

If that person works for UPS Supply Chain he may be telling the truth. They warehouse and ship for hundreds of companies.
