So I have been a little worried that I wouldn't be able to get a touch from a local Sprint store. I didn't reserve one and didn't pre order one. I can't get to a store early so I showed up about 5 minutes ago. I was very pleased to see I was the only one here! Now lets hope they actually have the phone

I sent my fiance to get one for me while I was at work and she said that no one was at our store, and then they refused to sell her one because I wasn't there
I too am waiting at the sprint store. Here's to hoping they have one.

That's just stupid ... i buy stuff all the time and put it on the account ... my parents are never in the store ... and i just give them my dad's name ...
Waiting here in Mass too and also by myself! I got here at 9 they open at 10. For the Evo I got here at 5:30am and I was 2nd! By 7am there were about 25 people! I think cuz the Evo was the very first "game changer".
WOW. I guess im going to go to sleep and try in the afternoon. I am not going to sit there and wait till 9am. Hope my local store doesnt sell out when I finally wake up. I knew I should of gone to bed at midnight so I could wake up at 8am and get there in time.
On my way to the store soon....the store manager called yesterday to confirm our appointment.
This is so messed up. I called and came to my sprint store yesterday and was told that they not no doing preorders. I get here this morning, its like 10 cars in the parking lot and some people in the store.
The doors were still locked...so im hoping its just employees in there setting everything up...like the display etc. If not im gonna be pisses...especially if they dont have anymore ET4G's in stock.

Worst part about it is that she has done 3 times in the past 2 years and just now they won't let her
Guess where I am sending this from? You got it. Five people showed up and I was the only one getting the touch. I was pretty shocked. It is going to take some getting used to but I love it so far.

Im starting to think that the people inside the store is probably the sprint employees thats getting trained on the phone only because no one has walked out with a phone yet and the doors are locked. They probably getting trained on the iphone...who knows.
If thats the case, then im the only one here as well.

Ok guys, here's my "delimma". I have an upgrade available to me. I've been wanting a gs2 since it came out in Europe. I had every intention of getting this within the first week it came out on tmo. BUT, reading about all the issues with lines on the screen, resolution, etc, I'm skeptical. It's basically going to be this phone or I'll cancel my line (I'm on a family line). I havent had a chance to play with one in person yet. So, in the meantime, I'm trying to gather opinions on the phone.
With all that being said, if you had a chance to relive Wednesday or whatever day you bought the gs2, would you buy it again?

Definitely. My Iphone 4 got stolen two days ago, and yesterday I picked up this phone. Didn't even consider a 4S. Done with Apple and ready to get back into xda and the root world Tmo's 4G is amazing too.

yup! I love the phone. More so then the G2X.
I would for sure. I think it's the best phone on T-Mobile and T-Mobile is the cheapest out of the major wireless providers for me.
I am eligible for an upgrade to my iPhone 3GS from AT&T. Picked up a Galaxy S II and ported my number over to TMO. Almost everything about this phone is better than my old iPhone. Couldn't be happier. Oh, and I'm paying less for my plan, too!
Yep, I can relate to some. I tried the epic 4g touch version on sprint. If I could swap the internals with that it would be more awesome. As it stands though, once root is here and I can tether I'll be stoked. As of right now I'm happy with it. It feels solid and has a professional look and feel to it.

I'm going to give it a try again. The SGS2 was the phone I wanted from the git go. Sounds like the ones with the least amount of problems are the 9/28 boxes.
I'm going to give it one more chance tomorrow after I get off of work and I'll keep it over the weekend. I honestly really want to love the SGS2.

Last night, my phone screen cracked. I was devastated and the hubby was furious!!!! I called Amazon wireless who I got the phones from late November and they were amazing to me and they are overnighting me a new phone. Sucks to have to root and all that all over again.
Just wanted yall to know that Amazon has really great customer service. They also gave me their black friday deal even though I bought the phones a week before so I got mine for free, and now another one, for free.
This is the first i'm hearing of Amazon wireless. Loll

It was so crazy because the girl I talked to today, was the same girl who helped me in November when I missed the penny sale by a few days and she gave me the phones for free.
She totally remembered talking to me and that my granny's name was also Elizabeth and they she said she was just gonna replace my phone. I am so glad I didn't go through the insurance hassle with sprint. How weird is it that out of all the employees I get her twice and she remember so much about me. Crazy.
I was so upset I cracked my screen I had to take a valum. LOL
Can you buy phones off contract there?

I got the phone from amazon wireless about 13 days ago, thinking if I should get a replacement as the power button is mushy, making it difficult to press easily but hesitant to do so because its such a small issue.
I can attest to their c.s ...i had to have a new phone overnighted cause i lost everything on my phone including serial numbers and everything else lol...ty amazon life saver

If you cancel your contract early they tack another $250 on top the carriers etf and automatically bill it to the payment method you used to purchase your device. My Captivate cost $99.99 then a $350 etf and $250 to Amazon when I left At&t. So I ended up paying $700 for a $500 phone because of a nasty breakup. Don't use discount online services if you intend to leave your carrier early.

WOW... I didn't know they were that involved in your service plan. I wouldn't have thought that since they didn't make me go through my insurance to replace the phone. Good to know.

If I remember right they only charge if you end your plan in the first 6 months. All I know is that they nailed me lol.

newalker91 said:
They technically do not have the ability to charge you anything in relation to your Sprint account. They can bill you for the remainder of the phone cost if you haven't paid enough months to cover it, but not for terminating your contract. Only your carrier can reserve that right as you are in no contractual obligation to Amazon.

That's exactly how it works. I received the standard etf from At&t along with my last bill, then a separate notice from Amazon for their $250. They tell you upfront about the charge...still sucks though lol.

I Know. Im a flashaholic, coming from an Evo 4G! Any recommendations? haha
Just curious if anyone has tried this before.
Essentially, I'm leaving for vacation in a few days and wanted to snag a new S3 before I leave to replace my iPhone 4. My iPhone is currently acting up and don't want to be without a phone/camera my entire trip. I also want to experience what the 4g coverage is like in my area, otherwise I'll move to Verizon. The kicker is, I won't be back until 2 days prior to the 30 day return policy, so I really won't get to test it out at work and such.
I have been a customer for 10 years (I'm old), and I'm going to try to get the S3 for $99 like others had, but I'm hoping they will give me a 45 day return policy (sort of like BB's Premium member policy). Just curious if anyone has tried this and had any luck with the idea of a 45 day return policy?
Usually if you scream at the supervisor they would do it
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
Generally the return policy is pretty firm, so I highly doubt they would do that.
S3 rocks and I used to be Apple Only and I have broadened my horizons
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
Hmmm. Has anyone tried it?
Return policy is very firm, I know people that have tried and never succeeded. If there is an ATT store where your going to can always return it there. You wont beable to test LTE in your area since your gone anyways. Verizon LTE is nice since its everywhere, my buddy gets around 6-9mb down average. I get 4-6mb down on HSPA. ATT lte can hit over 50mb in some markets, average 15-25 dpending on market so its faster.

So you're going away for 28 days? Cant you find an At&t store wherever youre going and get one there in 2 weeks so you'll also have time to test at work when you get back?
I would definitely not expect at&t to treat you special, or at least I wouldnt trust them so wouldnt risk it.

As a manager in retail I am less likely to help a customer when they do arrogant things like this. Just my 2 cents....

My mother returned hers a few days after the period was up but she had to fly out of country for a loss in the family. I guess you just need a good manager and reason.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk 2
Still the return policy is pretty firm, you would know if you liked the device within that period of vacation and if your 2 days early wouldn't you know how reception was within that time? I mean I understand taking time to like the phone but reception is a pretty instant thing.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
Hey folks.
I guess I will have to find a ATT store on my vacation. Reception is important, we have deadpsots in our building from some reason. Verizon has one terrible spot where no one gets reception. I want to see if it's my iPhone or they're network thats causing the issue, and that will allow me to determine whether I switch to ATT. NO biggy, I'll just have to find a store in vacation like someone said.
Don't forget to walk with everything that came with it (box, receipt, etc.) so it's less hassle if you exchange or return it.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
The only way to take the contract off after the 30 days is to manually remove the contract and if you do that you could mess up the eligibility, so if someone says they can do it don't wait just return the phone within the 30 days.

Hot Dog....finally got my Note II. I've been waiting for Sprint to get a Note variant since they orginal Note first launched in Europe.
Came close to switching carriers a few times becuase Sprint never seemed to want to catch-up.
I'm glad I waited though.
The Note II is awesome.
:victory:
Congrats and welcome ! I'm hoping we have a very active community. Fingers are crossed!
got mine too ..... the sprint store only had 4 :victory:

Wife and I got the only 2 white ones the store had... felt stupid being the only 2 there at 8 but it paid off when the next guy to come said they only would have 4 phones, 2 white and 2 gray. 4 people walked in and got sent away to look at other stores.
yeah all the stores i called said people bought them out when they opened the doors..then the store that had on left said that people were buying 3 and 4 of them at a time...didnt think this phone would be that popular..ive had the og evo, galaxy , galaxy s2 and about 4 or 5 other android devices as ive bounced around from carrier to carrier, and NEVER had a problem finding a store that had the phone i wanted until today.
First store I went to their lock broke on the cabinet holding the phones. They couldn't get into it to sell them. Drove another 10 minutes and got a grey one at another sprint store. Really liking it so far
