Where's my Nokia?? - Nokia Lumia 900

By extreme chance, I'm home today. Its a major coincidence my 900 is scheduled to arrive too. No, really it is.
Any one get theirs yet, how is it?? Where's the XDA unboxing video!!!
Tell us your first impressions...

My Nokia is just over 5 miles away at the local sorting facility...woohoo...I'll either have it in 2 hrs...or 8....

Mine is out fir delivery, will be here by 3. I leave for work at 2 so I hope it comes a little early so I can play with it a little bit, and I need to get a different sim card.

why a different sim card?

Should be in your hot little hands by now ? We haven't seen a post for a while so you are probably unboxing and setting it up ?

I have 2 windows for delivery from Fedex. First starts right about now...if its going to be delivered in the AM, it will be shortly. Otherwise it will be around 2pm PST.
My desk is in the front of the house, in a window that looks straight up the street. I live on a hill and the drivers have to drive by first and turn around. I will see him, before he sees me.

I don't think mine will come with one, I bought mine off contract, so I was under the assumption that it wont be in the box, would love to be wrong though.

I have a samsung Focus S...needed the number transfered to the new sim...they told me on preorder it would be easier to stop in the store to get it done

Well, I've got mine. showed up right around 10am this morning. Had to run down and swap the sim but I've got it running now.
As expected, feels good in the hand...holding the Focus S and the 900 side by side, the 900 is heavier, but, healthier
First things, the display brightness is set to auto, like most phones. and the screen is a touch dull. Took it off of auto and set to Medium, thats what I expect.
Internet sharing is set to off. Turning it on brings up the message about calling att to enable. So nothing special for the 900.
Everything else so far is as expected. It flows smoothly, feels good in the hand. The volume is a touch loud, with the default set to 15....so I have to be careful with that.
No LTE in Seattle yet, but I have a solid 4 bars at my house...wifi connects easily.
off to install my apps using Reinstaller....see how that goes...
Update: Nokia Drive was not installed on the device. Which is strange because its one of the features. It did come installed on the 710. Probably because of the clash with AT&T navigation.

Mine surprisingly got here at 10:30am! Too bad I can't play with it yet, gotta go to a doctor appointment, bah!
If you didn't know, Nokia Drive can be found in the market for free.

I got the fedex delivery right on time..Hold it for 30 sec and then gave it back to fedex guy for return. Just can't digest the fact, that i am leaving a nice grandfathered plan from TMO to ATT. Will wait it out or buy a unlocked one later...sigh ..

Notebook....nice to see ya. That is a tough one. TMO is just not strong enough in the seattle area for it to make a difference. But I still have pictures of Carly on my phone and Twitter.. otherwise, ATT is fine. I've had no problems other than the sales rep wants to play chess with me....oh well..

Deliveries on Saturday, March 27th

I am so keen to get my hands on this phone...
Mine was sent to me yesterday so I am hoping to get it today.
Could you all just write a post here when you receive yours so we can do some tracking this way.
Ive just rang my delivery office, they have it and are about to go out for deliveries, they said it will be delivered before 10pm, however i live like 5 mins away from Ossett Town center, so should be here sooon.
Blimming heck, thought I was bad. You guys here at 7am waiting on the phone..... oh wait....
It's a great feeling, being told one minute your have to wait another week after getting all excited, and then having that reversed during a horrible 7 to 5 shift at work. Marvellous!!!
We can all come back on here this afternoon and ***** about bugs then. lol
How long are you guys going to give the first charge?
I have work at ten, so im not charging it. I know I know I should charge it, but no I dont want to lol. Its coming to work with me.
I've been up since 5:30am, now thats sad!
I'm hoping it gets here before 10ish, as I have to go out C'mon Mr/Ms/Mrs Postman!

Did you have the tracking number or did you just quote your name and address?
I have a tracking number
Delivery on a saturday??
Were do you live?
In sweden the postal service is closed...
We all live in the UK, We get post on saturdays, not sundays though. I have a tracking number which is: SG836901414GB, I did give the guy my name though, and he was like, yeah its here, its just leaving now, but 45 mins later and he isn't here yet. I want it now lol.
Still waiting too, although I've logged into my T-Mobile account on the website, and it has already populated all the info for my package, and phone number etc! Can't wait till it gets here
can I ask how did you obtain your tracking number, t-mobile said it wasnt available yesterday?
I've got mine!! Yaaay
7:39am and there was a huge bang on the frontdoor!!
It's on charge now.
early
I'm rather jealous of you guys waiting for your phones to arrive, especially since I'm up at 7am with the kids anyway. I held off on the home delivery because I'm away at work all next week 200 miles from home, so if it didn't arrive today It'd be sat at home unopened for a week. I'm planning on going into a T-mobile store Monday - fingers crossed.
Good luck with the deliveries - try to share some of the excitement with the rest of us!
Oh, and the downside is it comes with a 4GB memory card. Grrrh
I asked them, they gave me it. Simples. And oh my god you have got it. Can you see if its unlocked to all networks please, also any T-Mobile branding.

I've not switched it on yet, going to do a full charge first but there is no T-Mobile branding or marking anywhere on the case or even the packaging.
before 8am? nice one! I bet i will be one of them unlucky ones who wont get it till monday will call t-mobile at 8am and see if they can give me the tracking number...
i usually never charge a battery until its dead, so will use it until it shows low battery, and then do a 12 hour charge, and run it down to low battery at least 3 times.
it will then last ages! my current BB Bold lasts 3 days!

Receiving my Galaxy Nexus today!

According to FedEx i will be receiving my (2nd) Galaxy Nexus. The first one i had a friend make me an interesting offer to buy it from me. So i sold it. Now im finally getting my second one. Here's to hoping that the screen isn't covered in lines and banding. The first GN i purchased i had it sent to my work address. Being that im off today i made sure it was shipped to my home, anyone have any idea what time FedEx delivers to residential? I have an odd address location (Court Way aka alley) and want to be ready for the arrival. Thanks!
When they deliver depends on the route in your area.
Here at work, they deliver at 9AM, my house they deliver around 11AM but at my old house they delivered in the afternoon.
Received my GN about an hour ago. Called Negri for a replacement/refund as the SIM card is not being read :-(

Can you try another SIM card? (Friend, significant other, willing neighbour, unwilling neighbour...)
Rather be 100% sure it's the handset and not an easily replaced SIM card.

I have a T-Mobile account and an AT&T account. Both SIMs dont work. It appears that the pins on the SIM tray are bent out to hell and some are broken off. I already contacted them and spoke with Sergio. 1 hr later he emailed me a prepaid FedEx label. I sent the phone out and its on its way to their warehouse. Great customer service!

Yup i even got the phone yesterday! They do some great work there. To top it off the phone is now 622$ shipped from them if you use the 25$ coupon they have. Loving the phone.
From where you got it. I am going to get one but I don't know from where. I want to use coupons to get any kind of discount. If you please can tell me from where and if also u have any valid coupon to use.

Nvm. Looks like "sb25offkhk" works for $25 off the titanium silver model.
Also on another note, the coupon "GIFT" works for $30 off the pre-order of the white version, but won't work on the black version... interesting.

[Q] AT&T Preorder Problems?

Thought I might ask here, am I the only person not able to order this phone? After two days, and hours on the phone, whenever I place my pre-order, I get a confirmation email...and then seconds later, I get a cancellation email. You can't pre-order this over the phone or in stores...is there some special number I don't know about, to call and get this issue resolved? I've literally had an AT&T service rep tell me that they will just continue to cancel my order, and I'm out of luck.
I've thought about trying with bestbuy, but I have unlimited data, and Bestbuy (online) doesn't give an option to upgrade to the unlimited LTE add on.

I had the same problem Oct 25, as I was ordering 2 Notes, one full price and one for my wife with 2 year renewal. I also spent an hour on the phone, ATT couldn't figure it out. I finally thouhgt I would order one at a time. First I ordered the full price Note and received a confirmation email, then I ordered my wife's with discount for the 2 year contracrt, again confirmation. This time, it worked, so both ordered and confirmed for 11/6 ship date. Now if you were ordering only one, no idea, but finally worked for me by ordering only one at a time.

Yeah, I'm only ordering one. And I'm not going to risk being charged 700 dollars, when I'm trying to upgrade at the discount price. I see a few other people have had the same problem, but there aren't any solutions posted. Unfortunately, ATT just says to wait and buy it in a store, which isn't an option for me. Long story short, it's a gift and the person buying it is half a country away. And it's bs that I'd have to wait even longer, due to their crappy system haha.

Really makes no sense and I agree with you. Why did I have to split my order to get both, ATT didn't even know.
Good luck.
Having a lot of problems getting the phone as well. Tried to pre-order it online only to have it either give me an error, or give me a *$399* price instead of $299. On-the-phone reps had no clue, told me I could go to a store to preorder it. Store had no clue, said there's nothing in their system about it. "We won't sell out, just come in on the 9th and get it here." URGH. Such a giant waste of time.
Reps told me to come in as well. I asked if they thought there would be a line guy said usually not for samsung. I asked what time they opened he said 9 I said ill be here at 8.

You'd be doing whats called an alternate upgrade. Basically upgrading your dads line to the note 2 then putting his original phone back on his line and putting the equipment on your line (note 2) if his old phone did not need data before it won't add data. I do these at least once a day with no complications. It's incredibly easy and done more often than regular upgrades are. And you shouldn't have to call and cancel anything. Just have the associate doing the upgrade make sure and show you that your dads original equipment has been returned to his line.
I wish the employees at my lo Al vest buy could figure out how to do an alternate upgrade. I tried to do one last month on my wife's line and none of them could figure it out. I just took the phone to an att store after I left best buy to get it taken care of.

You might have an incompatible rate plan code. Apparently I had an old rate plan with an old code that the instant savings discount didn't recognize. I got all of this info from someone on AT&T live chat. They told me to call Premier and tell them to update the code and that they'll know what I'm talking about. 5 minutes later I was able to get the $100 discount and my preorder was in.

Dumb s? Really now...look at your own GD website. It doesn't give the option to upgrade to unlimited LTE, it just gives the option to not CHANGE anything. It does not clarify if that will upgrade to the unlimited LTE add on.
Look at your own site before *****ing. No wonder no one takes Best Buy seriously lol...
As for everyone else, I got a higher tier customer service, and they can't figure it out. It's basically FUBAR'd. In more detail, they said that the order isn't even making it through. That they, for some reason, don't believe I'm me. So I'll have to take care of it through a bit more complicated way.
Good luck for anyone else trying to order from ATT. I went on their forums, and I'm not the only one dealing with this hassle lol.

You're *****ing about our website not keeping your ****?? So a system that is based off of someone else's system (ATT in this case) didn't work correctly? Get off your lazy ass and go to a store. That way you can get it done correctly without having to deal with any operator error

This pre-order has just been a nightmare. I couldn't even get to ordering it as the site just gave me an error. Customer service told me to do it at a store, store told me they don't even have it in their system to pre-order it. What's the point of a pre-order that doesn't work?

Heh, just got off the phone with support. We tried two different credit cards, both are empty not used very often, and it denied both then locked the account. She said I'd have to go to a store to show two forms of id to unlock the account. Yea, their system is ****ed up.
Preordering is a major waste of time. Yet another advantage of not being a iPhone user is not having to order early just to try and get it delivered day 1.
I can see certain situations where you might want to buy online and have it delivered to someone half a country away as a gift, but on the whole there is no incentive to do it.
The phones will be in stock unless their delivery didn't arrive on time. As great a phone as the Notes are, they are still in a fairly niche market. Not many people like the idea of this massive phone. People still freak out when they see me pull my phone out. My buddies will give me even more crap with the bigger screen when I get mine in a few days.
Best Buy handles everything very quickly. If you have a standalone Best Buy Mobile location near you, go there. My experience has always been better there, but that's just my experience. Less lines, less crowded.

That reminds me. I need to call geek squad again. They've been double charging my card for my protection plan every other month or so. I think this will be call number 9 to get them to fix it, again... :silly: Started when my OG Droid's touch screen died, and verizon wouldn't do anything to help me out, so I ditched them and went back to at&t. Got the Dell Streak because the Atrix wasn't out yet. 29 days later the Atrix dropped, so I swapped over to that. They "canceled" the protection plan and started it up on the new phone, but the Streak plan is haunting my account. It just won't go away. The geeks at BB can't do anything, I always have to call their customer support.

One thing is for certain...they are not selling like hotcakes, simply because the device is only available through customer care, online, or at a very few select corporate retail stores and the occasional Costco etc. The vast majority of none corporate stores do not have them in stock yet. The 15th...maybe...who knows for sure. Perfect example is the VERY busy T-Mobile store down the road from me (Portland, OR), does not even have the One yet, let alone the GS4. The kicker is they don't even know for sure when either phone will come to their non corporate store. A very large percentage of Tmo's base gets their phones through these 3rd party Tmo stores....and they are still in the dark. It really has been a colossal blunder of a launch for both phones.
Uncarrier is great...but they need to focus on strategy and having some sort of nationwide information network for their employees, where all Tmo branded retailers are able to give the exact same response...to someone from Portland, Maine to Portland, Oregon.
Glad I got mine through customer care with next day air... I must give Tmo credit, as that went very smoothly.
:good:
I agree. Hopefully they really sell good come the 15th

I purchased my SGIV on-line first day through t-mobile and got it the next day.. Couldn't believe how fast that was!
Not sure why your having problems ordering..

While you wait maybe get a case and (glass) screen protector too. This thing is so fragile, you don't even want to risk a minute playing hot potato with it. I've already had several close encounters, but luckily my Spigen glass and case are here. Looks great with it!
Just picked up my first Android device last night. Black S4. T-Mobile made the process pretty easy. In and out in 20 minutes. I come from a jailbroken iPhone 4, been using iPhone since the 3GS came out. Got super bored of it and hated the tiny screen. So now I'm off my family's AT&T plan and boy HSPA+ > 3G. Several people in the store were buying the S4 and they had plenty in stock.

I can't seem to get my hands on one yet everywhere I went today had said they were sold out already. Hopefully this phone beats the sales of every other smart phone on the market!

I got lucky and ordered mine online the day they came out. It was actually a real hassle since I was a new customer and they online order bit didn't work and I ended up having to call them to finish the order and then they sent me a pre-pay SIM card instead of a post-pay SIM card which eventually had me wind up at a T-Mobile store to fix all of their mistakes. Hope you get yours soon and with less hassle than me.
yes, samsung's device getting better and better day by day, just since i9000

One thing is for certain...they are not selling like hotcakes, simply because the device is only available through customer care, online, or at a very few select corporate retail stores and the occasional Costco etc. The vast majority of none corporate stores do not have them in stock yet. The 15th...maybe...who knows for sure. Perfect example is the VERY busy T-Mobile store down the road from me (Portland, OR), does not even have the One yet, let alone the GS4. The kicker is they don't even know for sure when either phone will come to their non corporate store. A very large percentage of Tmo's base gets their phones through these 3rd party Tmo stores....and they are still in the dark. It really has been a colossal blunder of a launch for both phones.
Uncarrier is great...but they need to focus on strategy and having some sort of nationwide information network for their employees, where all Tmo branded retailers are able to give the exact same response...to someone from Portland, Maine to Portland, Oregon.

Surprised PDX wasn't carrying at that time, on the 8th almost all the Beaverton/Hillsboro stores were selling them. The store in Cedar Hills started selling them the night of the 7th because they just had them sitting there.
But glad you got yours timely after ordering with Customer Care.

Order processedcfor the LG promo

WooT 8 AM sharp my V30 order with T-Mobile has been placed, with a ship date of 10/5-10-6. Of course I selected overnight shipping....Ill keep everyone updated.
FYI the website for the LG /Daydream promo is:
http://www.lg.com/us/mobile-phones/v30/promotion
After fighting with the live reps who didn't even know what the phone was and couldn't find it in the system, I finally gave up and placed my pre-order online. I got a window of today through the 9th for shipping. Really hoping it does go out today so I can test the cameras over the weekend.
---------- Post added at 12:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:53 PM ----------
Looks like the promo isn't live yet but if I remember right, we needed to have the IMEI number to get the V20 headphone promo.
My rep, Denise, was great. she knew all info, had me order online, instead of on phone, saving me a service fee. She also informed me of how to order the Daydream promo via website.
As I am currently phoneless, and stuck in the dark ages (how did I survive the '70s and '80s) I too hope it ships ASAP

You preordered a carrier version?

Yes, I'm on T-Mobile so just to make sure I got a version that supports the new bands, I decided to go that route. (That and I like the EIP option.)
Pre-Ordered Mine online today with TMO... The Pixel XL was tempting but I like the IP68, DAC, dual camera, and SD card slot. Hope to enjoy this phone for the 2 years and hope for a quick Oreo update to it.
I like that Google Lens from the event yesterday. I am wondering how/if that could be used on the V30. I'm not really into rooting it as I have Citrix Secure Mail on it for work...
Coming from the Moto X Pure 2015 which still does NOT have 7.0 on it and the battery is starting to lag on it as well. Time for an update for sure. My cheap Asus ZenPad has 7.0 on it for months.. Really disappointed with Moto on the updates, I know there must have been issues with 7.0 and the build for the Moto X... Oh well not my problem anymore!!
Glad to be back on XDA and will monitor the forums for cases and screen protectors...

As long as there isn't anything weird where Lens requires something in Oreo, we will likely see Lens in 2-3 months. (Probably after the new year, if I were a betting man.)
Are we getting the new daydream or the old?
Mine shipped...Have it my grubby little hands tomorrow!
let us to know if:
1. has Unlocked bootloader
2. has FM Radio tuner built in

No. Let us know if it has ADB flash commands with an unlocked bootloader. For the LG G6, T-Mobile/LG let the bootloader be "unlocked", but removed all the ADB flash commands. So, as of this date there's still no root, no TWRP, etc. for the T-Mobile LG G6.
See this post for more info:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=73652182
Like being given the keys to a sports car, but there's no car.
The unlocked bootloader does no good. The phone is still basically locked down.
I would bet they will do the same with the T-Mobile LG V30. Hope I'm wrong.
Woo hoo! Mine too! Unfortunately, my case won't be here until Saturday. I'm going to be freaking out until then. I've already watched a few videos of how well GG5 fares in drop tests. Won't get to run it through any tests until Saturday though.

Ordered mine first thing this morning... now says shipped via overnight delivery at Tmo. UPS has the label entered with tracking number. I assume I will see it tomorrow.
I called T-Mobile and customer rep gave me free overnight. Always call in. They also give free sim card instead of charging $25 if you need it.
My status just changed to SHIPPED!!!! Not sure if UPS will pick it up tonight though. Just label created and tracking number. I'm sure I'll get it by Monday.:fingers-crossed:
I called at 8am sharp and rep was not able to find the phone. I was on the call for 15 mins. Language barrier I knew right away was going to be a problem. I finally got pissed and hung up on her and called back. It was 8:30 by this time. Got a rep that got the order in. However, I have 10/5-10/9 with a status of processing. I have overnight shipping though. I'm pissed I won't have it for the weekend.

Yup, I also tried calling in right when orders opened and ended up wasting almost an entire half hour with someone who had no idea what I was talking about before hanging up and just ordering from the website. The front line reps these days are worthless on the phone and on social media.

I should have done online. I have been seeing where people are getting their phones today. I was wondering why I didn't get any tracking info. WELP....The jackoff didn't give me overnight, so it's comes on Tuesday. I called in to find out what she charged me for if it's not coming. The rep tells me the device isn't releasing until the 13th and when it ships on Monday, I'll have it Tues, which isn't the 13th. he also told me no one is getting them today. I told him he was totally clueless what his own company is doing and he's a supervisor. Ugh!
I guess it just depends on the rep you get on the phone. The one I spoke with knew all about upcoming phones, we talked about the Pixel launch while waiting for his computer to process. I checked status and I'll have my phone today!!! On schedule for delivery. I was not expecting it until next week. Weird how the local store rep told me they had them in the store but he could not sell one to me. That makes no sense. Call in they ship it but can't buy one in the store even though they have them in the back.

Totally the roll of the dice I have found after about 5 calls to them over the last month. 2 out of 5 times I got a smart and informed one. I suggest if you feel you are not getting anywhere with one of them, dont let them learn on the job with you. Hang up and call in again.

Ouch! That's just about the same experience I had last year with the V20 and T-Mobile. Rep that helped me didn't even offer overnight and some people were claiming that they were just upgraded to it. So I assumed I had been too. Then the forums started lighting up with people who had ordered getting shipping notices. At first, they were all times before my order time but then as the day progressed, it rolled well past me by hours. Calling in, I got the same run around as you did. Their processes for orders/upgrades suck! Supposedly once you order, you're locked into whatever choices you made. Which is asinine this day and age. I sent an email in that somehow ended up at the Executive Response division. Guess what I said wasn't really taken to heart though because I complained about pretty much every complaint I've seen surrounding this launch too.
