Ordered Tilt2 Through Retail Channel Today(Oct. 14)

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)

Just confirming.. I ordered my through 611... Did not have to ask for retention.
$199 with the $50 rebate.
Overnight Shipping $14.95
Looking forward to getting the tracking number. Wonder if I will get it on Saturday?

The AT&T promo for launch day is......(Glad I canceled my pre-order ;) )

Nokia Lumia 900 for $99.99 for the phone and you get $100.00 in accessories for free.
Maybe no $36 upgrade charge either; (not confirmed)
So if you haven't received your shipping info for a pre-order I would cancel and enjoy the promotion on Monday's launch.
I expect this to be confirmed at 7pm tonight via Nokia Times Square launch party, followed by $100 million TV barrage to batter the USA for the next 4-6weeks.
P.S> accessories must be compatible with the Nokia Lumia 900, Headphones....

This means you need to buy it at an AT&T store right? And is it only good on launch day or for a limited time from launch day on?

Hoping the Microsoft store matches the promotion, if not ATT HERE I COME!

Not sure how long the accessory promotion is, the source is a rep. I can only speculate on the length of the promotion, but I would think it would last more then a day. The source didn't specify if the $100 had to be used the same day or if it was a gift card or in store credit. The only thing that was specifically mentioned was the accessories had to be Nokia Lumia 900 compatible.
If you go to at$t web site and look at the Lumia 900 "compatible accessories" I count 29 items. However at least 1 item, the alarm dock would appear to not be compatible; its the " iHome iP18 Color Changing Alarm Clock Speaker "
The source also mentioned that $100 mill was being spent in the first 4-6 weeks on promotion, and another $100 mill after, but not sure how long it was to last.
On Monday, when I pick up my phone at a corporate At$t store for $106.74 after tax, I was promised $100 in free accessories and no upgrade fee. This is what I know.
I can only imagine the offers getting better now till Monday not a retraction.

If this is the case though, does that mean those who pre-ordered don't get the $100 in accessories? That would piss me off if I didn't get this deal if I was one of the first who ordered.

I hope you who pre-ordered it do get it. Id rather be pissed I didn't get my phone early, apposed to not getting it early for $99 for $236+ tax in goods, just to wait two days.
My experience with customer service is as long as you don't stop complaining and continually state your case in a calm professional manor and keep working your way up the food chain you will get what you want, with in reason.

According to a post on WPCentral, those who pre-ordered using an upgrade or new contract are eligible (at least for the North Central region).

Very interesting. Are there even $100 in accessories available yet that are compatible with the Nokia Lumia 900? Seems like you'd be buying a bunch of cases when you only really need 1.

Nice!!! glad to see. Those details match the description my source gave me. Nice find uptempo777.
Beats Audio headphones are $99 and are Nokia Lumia 900 compatible.
Also, portable back up batteries are available for ~$35 and ~$40. That may be a good pick up since the battery is not removable. I think two battery back ups and a Gel case for $100 sounds good.

Beats audio headphones are included? That's pretty cool! I hope you can order things that are not in-stock as well.

They are listed under compatible accessories on the Nokia Lumia 900 page at Att.com

Do you know if this will be all week? I need to wait till the end of the week (till I get paid) to buy it off contract, hoping I can get this deal too.

While texting my rep back and forth earlier because of some data issues, he explained to me that preorderers get the $100 towards accessories

I called 2 AT&T Stores and asked if they would have any special promotion to buy the Nokia Lumia 900 on launch date and they said they didn't know of any. They said they'll have a Nokia rep on-site that may possibly offer anything but they didn't know of anything for sure.
Any idea if they are playing dumb, are dumb, or just really don't know?

Has anyone confirmed that this is for the entire US, or only the North Central Region as originally noted? BTW, for pre-order customers (like me) you can go into a store and tell them to use "Manager Override Reason Code - LP10". That will get you the $100 credit.

Here is a copy of the store memo from WPCentral.com forums.
It looks to me that you have to sign a contract to get the promotion.
Effective April 6, 2012, customers in the North Central Region who purchase a Nokia Lumia 900 can receive a discount up to $100 to be used toward Nokia Lumia 900 compatible accessories
Minimum $50 accessory purchase required.
Offer requires a new or upgrade Nokia Lumia 900 on a two-year commitment.
Accessories must be purchased in the same transaction as the Nokia Lumia 900 purchase.
If a customer purchased a pre-order Nokia Lumia (between March 30, 2012, and April 8, 2012), the customer is eligible for up to $100 in accessory credit. The credit should be done with a manager override, discount reason code LP10.
The discount is taken off of the device (great for APO.)
The discount requires at least one compatible Nokia Lumia 900 accessory SKU and the Nokia Lumia 900 SKU (65367, 65375, 65511) to be included in the cart.
Five unique barcodes are used to issue the discount:
$60 discount barcode applies to accessories totaling $49.95 - $60.00
$70 discount barcode applies to accessories totaling $60.01 - $70.00
$80 discount barcode applies to accessories totaling $70.01 - $80.00
$90 discount barcode applies to accessories totaling $80.01 - $90.00
$100 discount barcode applies to accessories totaling $90.01 and above
The customer receives up to $100 in credit toward their accessory purchase (no cash back value if the purchase totals less than $100.)
Apple branded accessories, gift cards and iTunes cards are excluded.
The $100 accessory offer applies to Nokia Lumia 900 compatible accessories only.
This offer applies to COR only.
Merchandising
An exclusive price card backer and in-store flyer is being used to promote the $100 Accessory Credit. COR locations are scheduled to receive these price card backers to display the week of April 8, 2012.
FAQs
How long will this offer be available?
This offer will be available for a limited time only.
If my customer purchases $85 in accessories, which barcode should I use?
In the scenario, the customer is eligible for a $90 discount. Use the barcode that will discount the device $90.
If my customer purchases $45 in accessories, which barcode should I use?
There is a minimum purchase of at least $50 ($49.95) in accessories to be eligible for this offer.
If my customer purchases half of his accessories from in-stock quantities and the other half through DF, will the barcode still discount the cart?
Yes. The barcode will recognize the accessories in the cart whether they are in your store or available through DF.
Is my customer eligible for a $15 refund if he purchases $85 in accessories?
No. In order to take advantage of the full $100 credit, the customer must have at least $90.01 in accessories in his cart.
Is there merchandising to support this offer?
Yes. A Price Card backer and in-store flyer will be available to support this in-store offer.
How should we position this offer in store?
Purchase a Nokia Lumia Windows Phone and get up to $100 in free accessories.
Are pre-sales eligible to take advantage of this offer?
Pre-sales are eligible but a manager override needs to be used since the phone was purchased in a different transaction. Use reason code LP10.

I used the promo yesterday. Got a screen protector and jawbone headset which is for sale. I already ordered the gel case when I preordered and that came in yesterday. Glad I did because they didn't have much of a variety of lumia 900 specific accessories.

Sprint Note 4 shipped?

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.

Any ideas for a phone to trade in that costs more than 10 dollars?
Sent from my SM-N900P using XDA Free mobile app

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.

LG G4 on at&t

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!

Bell Pre-Order Promotion for $100 PlayStore Credit Issues

I'm looking for anyone who can help me out with any photo's or proof of their $100 playstore credits from Bell. I preordered the Pixel XL on October 6th, received the phone October 24th, and should have received my credit by October 25th, it's now the 30th and I have received nothing, I've been on the phone with Bell countless times, I've been in store twice, and been in contact with google twice with no avail.
Bell keeps trying to tell me this promotion doesn't exist and they don't show anything about it and that I need to take it up with Google. Google tells me I bought the phone with Bell so the preorder offer is to only be fulfilled with Bell.
It's an endless loop that I've been suffering through for the last 7 hours and I'm looking for any proof of this offer so I can send it to them or possibly lawyers because they seems to be trying to hide their ass and playing it off like nothing like this existed. The only information I can now find on this offer is on MobileSyrup with a list of the offers that were listed for preorders.
Since the phone was released, all carriers have now charged their preorder pages so not show the preorder offers (obviously, because the preorders can no longer be preordered)
Rogers was offering a free chromecast and a $50 playstore credit, Bell and Telus were both offering $100 playstore credits, and Google directly was offering a free Daydreamer VR voucher for when it's released.
So please, any help on this, confirmations from Bell texts showing you received a code, pictures of the preorder offer proving there was a $100 playstore credit offered, emails or sms showing proof of this offer, screen shots of their webpage, anything because they're trying to screw me out of this and if I had known this was going to be such a pain in the ass to get my $100 credit I would have just bought it from Google and got a VR voucher instead.

The free VR was only available in the US.

Okay well Google told me the only offer they had was for a free VR with preorder, that was when I talked to them earlier today so maybe the person I was speaking with from Google didn't know what was a US offer only, regardless, this is mainly to figure out the Bell preorder offer and according to the local Bell location here, there was 15 preorders at that store and I'm the only person who has come back to say they didn't receive the playstore credit, the local Bell employees are also aware of this offer and have told me that I should have received a text within 24 hours of activating the phone before the 24th and within 48 hours after activating the phone after the 24th, which I activated on the 24th at 8:11pm EST, I still haven't received anything and Bell actually just called me back right now saying they were so and so supervisor who is over looking this issue and she's flat out telling me this doesn't exist and they have never offered this deal. They are flat out lying, I saw it on their website for preorders, and on mobile syrup.com they also quote the identical offers I saw and that's the only source I can find to confirm this was a real offer.
The lady that also called me just now was extremely rude trying to tell me I had to fill out some magical three forums to get the voucher that she previously told me doesn't exist and that I didn't fill them out right which is why I didn't get the preorder, yet I have a receipt and preorder number confirming I do in fact have a preorder about this and have emails to thank me for preordering a Pixel XL with Bell.
Any information from any websites, the more information I have, the more I can prove this offer was real because Bell is flat out lying by telling me this offer does not exist, and within the same call they then told me I didn't fill out the forum for this offer correctly, the offer they just told me doesn't exist.. so something fishy is going on, I've also recorded all calls I've made today as proof because they're trying to pull some sneaky crap right now and I don't trust them at all anymore.

This is the link that quotes the exact sales Bell advertised on their website however white/silver one was only for the pixel in 32gb and 128gb was only offered for the pixel xl and the pixel xl was only offered in black.
At the time of pre-order the 128gb model said sold out so I was never given an option for the xl, only black 32gb at the local bell store.

However, as the phone is now released, Bell changed their website because the "pre-order offer" is no longer in effect since it's been released so that link now brings you to the normal order page for the pixel, which is why Bell is now telling me that offer never existed and I'm apparently making it up and there's a magical form that she hung up on me when I asked her what forum it is so I can ask the local store what forum this is for the preorder to make sure it was filled out and that's how I got my pre-order receipt.

I had the exact same issue. Also got it from Bell with a preorder. I made sure to ask the rep when I ordered about the promotion and she told me I would receive a text message with the code on Oct 25. Long story short...received no such message. Called Bell...they pushed me off to Google. Google pushed me back to Bell. I called Bell again and they acted like I was making it up. I referenced their site had said it but how now changed...I told them about a Mobil Syrup Tech site that still mentioned it and even brought up Rogers having a promotion to...but instead of $100 Google Play Credit...with Rogers it was $50 and a free Chromecast. They eventually agreed to give me a $100 plus tax bill credit instead. I accepted this and then got a $115 credit on my bill. Good luck. Bell is trying to screw us and the fact that they gave me the bill credit made me believe they knew they had done wrong. Wonder how many others they've screwed this way.

Bell phone me again just now and it was someone higher up telling me they're sorry for the issues of me having to call them 6 times today so they did the identical thing, $107.98 bill credit on my next bill so we'll see if it was actually applied on November 7th.
This is pretty shady of them, next promotion I'm taking pictures of all evidence that it actually existed before ever applying for it. Live and let learn that no company can apparently be trusted.
Glad I'm not the only one though. Hopefully they make amends on this and start actually giving out the credit they promised customers.

Here I went with Play store directly instead of Bell and I got nothing at all.
Google was offering 2 month of Google music with the pixel but I didn't get it because I had a Google music trial in the last year...
I wish I would've been with Bell.
