anyone know where I can preorder a focus? I googled around and found some links to ATT, but that page just says 'coming soon' I know best buy is taking pre orders for the Surround.. but I want the focus.
thanks!
Don't think you really can yet. I'd suggest calling up a local AT&T store and having them put you on a list or something if they're doing that.
Called two local AT&T stores and they aren't doing preorders. One store said to call back in November to see if they are then. Best Buy Mobile says they are only going to carry the Surround. I guess this could change by launch too.

I wonder why att is not allowing pre orders for delivery on the 8th of Nov? Normally they have a two day and next day shipping option. They should simply allow pre ordering and then ship on the 6th or 7th depending on what type of shipping you paid for. (When I ordered a phone over the phone years ago, two day shipping was free and next day tacked on a $10 shipping fee.)
This is as close as I've seen to a pre-order page, but it doesn't appear to be for any one specific device.

Here you can pre-order:

So I placed my order on the 1st. AT&T said it was in stock. The online order status still says "in progress". I'm guessing shipping from Texas ground UPS. AT&T says that it's just wanting on a carrier pickup. In the past, I've ordered phones and they shipped same day overnight.
Any experiences with dock orders from AT&T?
I ordered the car dock 4 days ago and it still says in progress.
AT&T told me not to worry until its been 3 to 5 business days. I'm betting I'll have to call on day 6 to complain.
What ya know my car dock ordered today shipped today...
Sent from my Atrix
I ordered my car dock Feb 28. The status still shows "in progress" today
I ordered a laptop dock two weeks ago through Motorola and still don't have it. In fact they have pulled it all together from their store now and their CS has constantly lied to me saying it will ship on the days that I called. Hopefully this does not happen to you.
found one at fry's and canceled my order..
They say they are new....

Edit:Gone again.... I guess until they get them from another region of the world
Just ordered. Will see it is new.
got 3
I got 3. 1 for me, and 2 other for my coworkers. the Atrix is my work phone.
I just hope everyone gets one that tries....
The sold count is at 827 at this moment!
Either they cleaned the entire AT&T pipeline out or their cutoff of "limited quantity available" is hosed
I'm guessing with CM7 and CM9 derivatives you can't use this, so I'll have to pass. :-(

I'm pretty sure you have to specify the amount available when listing a multiple buy-it-now auction. And they did have that huge sale the other week, so maybe these are leftovers or cancelled orders.
1116 sold so far. I am so glad more people who want one can get one at a reasonable price.
Now the question is, "Why did those ripoff bastards at AT&T insist on full price for them for so long and then decide to just dump them?" They could have kept on selling them for $99 for quite a while from what I have seen.
They were showing over 2700 available last night when I looked. How the hell they got that many I don't know, but that was the availability showing in the Mobile app. For some reason I can't find that screen on my PC.
picked one up yesterday after patiently waiting.
Just got my UPS tracking number! Damn that was fast! Should see it middle of next week hopefully.

I think they were surprised by the quick sellout of their stock when they had it on sale the other day and decided to get more from whatever channel they got their original batch from. They couldn't run the same sale again so close to the last one so they had to sell them some other way (at a markup, too!).
Just conjecture, but it seems logical.
no international shipping to uk
NO!!!!
There's a tablet UI already available but it's outdated and it doesn't automatically change DPI. Hopefully someone can port webtop 3.0 from Razr or make a better tabletUI for CM9
Also, the Overskreen browser would be great with webtop.

Lapdocks on ebay for $59.99 free shipping
I ordered two. Thank you for this notice.
Just ordered mine...
Ordered mine about 30 hours ago, still no tracking number, I do hope I get it!
About to cancel my AT&T account because my contracts up, just waiting for the next big thing.
Having the lap dock will keep me from giving my Atrix away.
So i put in an order.. but now im getting a little leery about the order. Going through 1saleaday's reviews on ebay and around the web, the absolute highest number of complaints (other than broken item or missing parts) is that people are given false tracking info and never receive the item.
The tracking number i was given doesnt work with UPS or USPS at all.
">>> UPS could not locate the shipment details for your request. Please verify your information and try again later. "

They generate the labels, but the item is still in their warehouse. You won't be able to track in until UPS picks it up and actually scans it. The item can sit in the warehouse for days before it's picked up. It's the same as you printing out your own shipping/USPS label at home. Until you drop the item off it's not in the shippers system. Usually people ship at the end of a day. In their case they may have a weekly bulk pickup or something.
I got 2 while they were 59.99$, I haven't paid for them yet, is shipping free on both units? or did any of you with multiple units have to pay some sort of shipping?

Free shipping. Tells you right there in the auction.
Who s going to preorder it ?? Pre order starts may 29 12:01am
I tried pre ordering on best buy website but it wouldn't let me. I called them and they said that they are in the process of removiing all ordering of AT&T devices online. You now can only order or pre order in-store only. But they weren't certain that you could even do that any more. The rep and a supervisor stated its a recent change as of last week. I called Att and they said the only promo's they had was like $5 off a stupid selfie stick. So I will be trying my to get best buy and their $100 gift card to let me order it through them instead of Att. We'll see I'll be stopping by tomorrow.
BTW Att said they will have pre order starting tomorrow and available on the 5th

I was able to pre-order from Best Buy as a 2-yr subsidized phone instead of NEXT. Just had to go into the store. No real hoops to jump through, took about 10 minutes and a good chunk of that was from a frozen computer. Although I still haven't been told when I'll be able to pick it up. I'm hoping it's same as AT&T stores.
I may get the h815 version. Had the major att bands for lte
I had preordered through BestBuy because of the $100 gift card but was going to buy the phone straight up for $629.99 but they had a later release date (6/12). Checked the preorder through AT&T and they let me do a 2 year contract and get it for $199.99. Which to me is a way better deal IMO. So cancelled with BB and ordered with AT&T earlier today and I just got an email saying it shipped. :good::good:
I wanted to preorder through AT&T, but they don't ship until after the 12th, so I just went ahead and ordered from AT&T, because it ships by the 1st or 2nd....

Pre ordered this morning and mine will be shipped out monday 6-1.
Anyone heard if Bestbuy will be shipping on 6/5 instead of 6/12?
still undecided if i get the tmo or att version to run on att
or maybe switch carriers to tmo. any thoughts? in far north Dallas.
I ordered from Best buy yesterday. The chick wouldn't tell me anything about when they would be ready for pick up. The only thing she said was that they usually have the phones before the carriers do. I'm not in any hurry to get the phone I just needed a new phone because my screen is going out on my G2. Otherwise I probably wouldn't even upgrade. Hopefully we get emails saying they are ready for pickup sooner rather then later though.
Just went into ATT store to pre-order to get the spare battery and 32G sdcard. One wrinkle ... I still have unlimited international data (YAY) and there was absolutely no way to preorder and keep that. I was there for over an hour, most of it with the rep on the phone trying to figure out how to keep the unlim-data.
Turns out you can NOT pre-order and keep that feature - it will force you to a 3G plan. The only way is to walk in and buy one *from store inventory*, then I can keep the unlim-data.
So be careful - if you have expired features, they may get whacked ...
With the pre-order you can get a 7" tablet for $0.99, but it's a new device on your plan - $10/mo. By buying from store inventory, it's an 8" tablet with stylus.

Preordered through BB as well (ATT). 6/5 verified, well the truck gets in the 4th so I may see if I can pick it up a day early
Is it confirmed that you don't get the $100 gift card if you buy the device outright without a contract?
Anyone that ordered through AT&T get a shipping confirmation yet? I was reading in another thread that one user that also ordered from AT&T checked his status and it says "Back ordered" . Just checked mine and it says preorder processing. I did order on 5/29 around 12:30am.

After preordering phones through at&t website for years, I figured I would have learned my lesson about their mess. I have not gotten any info yet either except preparing to ship for the past few days.
Update: Just got my tracking.
FWIW I went to an AT&T store today to potentially go and pre-order one. However the rep told me that they would have ample stock on Friday and it would just be easier to come back then and pick one up in store. They assured me that stock would not be an issue. That might be a good alternative for anyone looking to pick one up.
So I just got the email with the tracking info. Says it will be here on Thursday!

Yep me too!
I'm looking online since it's been available in the U.S. now and I'm seeing Amazon says there a month delay in delivery but I haven't heard or seen any posts about anyone getting the phone through Asus, Newegg, or anybody else yet.
Which is the best way to get the phone without the delays and the fastest shipping possible?

Amazon says a month or more as a precaution. It said that before and they had it in stock that night, but quickly sold out.
I ordered from Asus. My only gripe is they never emailed me to say it was in stock, shipping, or a tracking number. It was all listed in my account on their site, but an email would have been nice. I ordered from Asus because I figured they'd ship before anyone but Amazon actually did.
I've ordered from B&H several times and they're excellent.
If I had to choose an order I'd go with Amazon, then B&H, and Asus last. It's worth noting B&H doesn't charge tax in most states so you'll save around $50.
I ordered from Newegg when they were in stock there.
Just checked bnh they don't seem to have it in stock

Where to order in Canada except Amazon.COM and BHphotovideo?
I am also having a rough time tracking this phone down. I tried Newegg when it was in stock to save when I got paid last week. Now not only is it not in stock, it isn't even listed in the website anymore. Amazon is currently only one in but says will take awhile to ship when I got to finish my order so I cancelled. B&H is out so I might end up getting it from ASUS.
BHPhotovideo is available to pre-order.
Newegg is sold out.
Amazon just got more in stock.
And of course, you can order it via Asus's official store.
Just got a email bnh says they are back in stock. Has anyone ordered from them before how reliable are they? From what I've heard they don't charge taxes from your location but I've never ordered through them before

I've ordered allot from B&H over the years, lawless each time. Ordered numerous phones too, included a new 5Z on Thursday which as you mentioned, came back in stock the next day. No Tax outside of NY, free S&H, great seller.
Got an update with Newegg. They are on Back Order now. For awhile they didn't even have it posted unless you had the Item link previously saved. Just FYI
There are 2 on Swappa right now. One is at the astonishing low price of $410.
Just ordered mine this mornin off bnh I'm getting it delivered to my job by 1030 am I paid extra 30 for next day shipping otherwise I would've waited til Tuesday because of the holiday

I just ordered mine from Newegg yesterday, tax free and free shipping. Within an hour or purchasing it, it went back to back order. They must go quick in newegg.
