I am just curious how AT&T has handled new releases of phones in the past (big announcements like the S3, iPhone, etc.)
Did they announce well in advance, the day before, or what??
Do they have ample supplies of the new phone in their stores on release day (obviously the iPhone is an exception, but what about a phone like this).
I am on Sprint now and want to get on AT&T BADLY, so I am hoping that I am not going to have to wait long amounts of time.
EDIT
AT&T will be Nov 9th, $300 on contract. Source:

Nobody really knows. Rumor was Oct 24, but given the proximity of today to the 24th with no word at all, I'm betting sometime in November, sadly...they are quite mum on details...

Eric, thanks but this doesn't really answer my question.
I am curious how they have handled big new releases IN THE PAST, to understand what to expect here.
Given the mess that AT&T made with the SGS3 launch, no one has any idea. In that particular case, they never OFFICIALLY announced a launch date, and then kept unofficially pushing back the date that they never actually announced.
People who made pre-orders for the phone 3 weeks before the unofficial launch date got their phones a couple days after they were originally promised (and in at least one case I know of - it was a full 2 weeks after.)
Actual AT&T corporate stores were kept completely in the dark with no official announcements, and lots of unofficial rumors.
Perhaps, becaue of that disaster, they will keep completely silent on the issue until they are ready to actually hand the phones to customers.
I'd bet that you'll be able to get one before Thanksgiving (2013.)

Thanks Gary. I was unaware of all the mess with the S3 (mainly I guess because I am not an AT&T customer YET).
Sigh... I guess I need to stop obsessing and stop checking for an announcement every day from AT&T. Although I doubt that will happen. :/
I will look to next Wednesday to see what Samsung and/or AT&T possibly announce.

I've been doing the same thing man lol. The Sprint announcement gave me some hope but at this point we're so close to the 24th that we'll find out in just 6 days anyway.
I've been waiting so long that I feel like my honeymoon period with the phone is already over. But I am sure that feeling will change once I have the device in my hand and I move away from this super annoying and tiny iphone 4s screen.
I spoke with our Samsung rep today sprint and T-Mobile will get it the 24th and Verizon and art will get it around the second week of november

That's not right, Sprint has already 100% officially announced it for the 25th. This thread here seems to indicate that it might not even be available to pick up at Sprint on 10/25, only able to order: http://community.sprint.com/baw/thread/101166?start=15&tstart=0
T-mobile has not announced an official release date, but it certainly won't be on the 24th because Samsung's event is at 7pm on the 24th to officially launch the phone in the US.

I pre ordered the SGS III on ATT and received it on the date I was promised, June 21. It was not as smooth as they wanted granted, but the expectations of people were way out of control in my opinion. There may have been some issues outside of their control, but they did not communicate with their customers like they should have. I doubt the Note 2 will have that type of demand. I expect an announcement fairly soon with pre ordering and or shipping to begin soon thereafter.

You got the phone on June 21st, but do you remember how soon before that they announced the pre-order?
Just wondering was it AT&Ts fault for the delays or outside of their control? I'm an AT&T customer and always have preordered my iPhones at 2am(central time) when preorders start and I have always received my phone when they said it would arrive.... Going on 5 different launch day orders with no issues.
when pre-ordering through the att website...are there any issues with keeping a grandfathered unlimited data plan (to be bumped up to lte unlimited)?
in the past, i'd just walk into an att store on launch day...just to make sure i wouldn't lose unlimited due to some automatic computer script...
Would like to know about pre ordering also online, though through Verizon. Have unlimited data and will be paying full price. This do able ordering online, without losing unlimited?

Yeah, very unclear.
I called my corporate AT&T store last week, they had no clue on the Note 2 release details. None that they were sharing anyway.
Just called my corporate store again. No date known according to them.

So I know this is old news now, but I called Verizon because my phone says I'm not eligible for an upgrade until March 22, but it allows me to click through on the new contract price. The only catch is I can't upgrade from a store or 3rd party, it must be online through VZW. I explained I was holding out for the Nexus and was going to buy it Friday morning and wanted to know when it would be available online, and she confirmed the launch date is in fact the 9th.
Again, I know no one has to believe me, but it was confirmed =)

I bet even with its launch date being pushed so close its still going to do much better launch day then the RAZR

Just pre-ordered the white Lumia 900 from Negri Electronics! W00t!
lucky you, i will use my att upgrade to get one
Same here. It was crazy spontaneous, but I am in LOVE with the hardware, and have wanted a white phone (but not an iPhone) forever, LOL. I've been only iphone (couple years ago), and since then only android. Not sure I'm ready for the WP7 switch, but willing to give it a go!
Do you guys think these will be LTE capable? It says so on the Negri Electronics order page, BUT I'm reading articles that say it's the international white version that won't be LTE capable...
http://www.electronista.com/articles/12/02/15/phone.most.likely.3g.vbut.not.lte.4g.capable/
Interesting. Personally, I don't live in an LTE area, so it won't bother me if it is only HSPA. I'm hoping the white lumia is released earlier than the locked ATT version.

Well, now that LTE is available in STL, I'm going to wait for the Cyan AT&T version. HURRY UP!
I'm also considering the white lumia 900. I have the Titan now but the locked internet sharing by ATT is pissing me off (especially since I'm using it unlocked on a Canadian carrier) and the fact I have one of the early models with defective ram is enough for me to want to switch phones.
BUT I will miss the bigger screen size, loud speaker and HTC apps.. Also interested in comparing the LTE speeds to 4G. I've heard that the external speaker on the lumia 800 sucks. As well I heard the battery life is significantly worse than the Titan. I'm curious if these "cons" will be translated over to the lumia 900 as well.. These are all possible deal breakers for me.
Can anyone confirm that when the unlocked model does become available if this model will support the ATT bands 100%? I really need the unlocked tethering this time around.
I pre-ordered it the first day of availability from the MS Store in Costa Mesa. They seemed to know all about it, and said yes it would be 4G/LTE on att. Can't wait to get my hands on it, but why wait so long after CES to release? Especially when you lose all the positive press and with the Ipad3 release comming the same time. I would have thought they would have released it quickly.

I'm just as anxious as you to get it. My guess is they will announce the date come MWC next week, which should get quite a bit of press. Hopefully the date will be sometime early march!
I was never this excited about the Iphone. I used to have a HTC 3125 that was windows based, and I really loved using it. I don't mind the Iphone, and I love the fact that just works, but I have had to fix it 3 times, (broken screen, water damage, etc) and now to upgrade to a 4S or 5 and have to pay 400+ dollars, thats too much for a phone. If the rumours are true and the 900 comes in at $100 bucks, I'm thinking this could spell a lot of trouble for Android phones.
I also saw a rumour that Instagram may have the an WP7 app before they get an android app out. Give me that and a Pandora App, and Words with Friends, and I would be completely happy.
This is the WP7 device I'm interested in. I've been interested in it ever since they made it official. Nokia makes the best hardware IMO, and their reception and call quality is top notch.

AT&T has a habit of releasing new phones on Sundays, so April 8th part of the rumor lines up nicely.
AT&T's releases though are usually on the 1st and 3rd Sundays according to the manager of my local corporate store. I still have my fingers crossed for March 18th if we could get that lucky.

Sad to say they tell me the galaxy nexus is on back order and probably wont be able to recieve it till late next week!! Told them to cancel my order and Ill go to best buy to reserve mine on sunday. This was confirmed by 4 different people in the tracking orders department of sprint. What a bunch of idiots. Last time I ever pre-order anything from sprints website.

It's not like its there fault. They didn't expect such a large amount of pre-orders. If anything, you should be happy about this. This means more development and attention to the device.

It might depend on demand in certain areas and warehouse supply. Maybe they are not all coming from one location? And to clarify they called to confirm my address as I changed it in the system recently.
If you pre-ordered you will get yours. They were keeping a count and once they ran out they stopped taking pre-orders. As far as I know they didn't start taking pre-orders til Monday morning. Tracking numbers aren't sent out til the 19th and the pre-order clearly stated this. No reason to call up sprint. The only people who may need to be worried are those who ordered late, I ordered as soon as it was up.

Yes, the right way is to order online :angel:
When I ordered mine over the phone I was debating on waiting for an in store buy because I was told that the phones would be coming in to all T-mobile stores on May 8th and that all third party retail stores (walmart, bestbuy, etc) would receive them on May 15th. By "select" stores it supposedly means the T-mobile stores first. Now whether that holds true remains to be seen as the phone reps could easily be mistaken, but this rep seemed very assure of himself. I decided to buy over the phone anyway, should be getting in a day or two. I hope you all can get them this week
I *almost* did the online thing yesterday, but I've decided to wait til they get them in stock and demo models are available. I want to play with it a bit. I like the S3 because of the shutter-speed, so all this talk of slow shutter for the S4 makes me ponder whether I should wait til the S5 comes (next year, most likely).

Here's the thing with that. The best place to order is online, but you really have to be quick. It was on stock all of last week, and some people, including me, got it last week. It is now showing out of stock again (black and white), so you can't order online and definitely not over the phone. Those guys will tell you the same thing, won't be out until the 8th/15th/17th/etc.
For a brief moment yesterday, the black was showing as in stock so I went ahead and placed another order for the Black Mist. It was shipped last night and will arrive tomorrow. I'm pretty sure they are not all out of stock. You have to order Overnight Shipping when you order and you are nearly guaranteed to get it the next day, despite whatever the system says your estimate delivery date is.
So I was in AT&T today getting ready to pre-order and setup my new contract when the sales associate told me they were getting the Note 4 in stock tomorrow. SO I hesitated and said should I just setup my new account tomorrow instead and he replied yes and set me up an appointment for when I get off work. Well paranoid me I am worried they will sell out before I get off work tomorrow so I called and talked to the manager, now she is saying she is pretty sure they are gonna get it tomorrow but told me it is not guaranteed but that if I call in the morning they will put one aside for me if they do arrive.
Has anyone been to an AT&T store lately and told this?
Called 4 stores around me. 2 told me the 17th, one told me the 14th, the 4th one told me they would start receiving stock between tomorrow and the 17th and could sell them as they received them.
AT&T reps who work in stores don't know MODERATOR EDIT. What's funny is that they think they do.
AT&T online says it will ship by the 14th. The reps are not allowed to hold any phones for customers so don't believe that BS haha.

Well that I know but I spoke with the manager of the store and she said technically she can't but she would since the guy jerked me around. Oh well, we will find out tomorrow
Update 1: Just woke up and getting ready for work, will call AT&T an hour after they open to see if they came in and to see if the manager will hold her word.
Good luck! We xda members
know how you feel!

When I went and pre ordered it on monday, the ATT in Etown Ky said they will have them today. I went ahead and had the pre order shipped to my house though. I dont want them trying to sell my preorder just because I was at work.
Although we should never trust what an AT&T rep says, from my past experience the stores do get the phones earlier than when pre-orders ship, but they do not put them out for sale until after pre-orders have already shipped. Makes since because why would they sell to a walk-in before those that have pre-ordered.....if they did this than where would the loyalty be!? Yeah I know, AT&T has no loyalty.
Both lstores I went to in nyc said 15th

Not that I want this to happen, but I was a pre-order for the FitBit Flex. That launch was a nightmare!! Pre-order started literally months ahead of release. (4, if I remember right) Then, Best Buy started selling them 4 days before the actual launch, so all the pre-orders got screwed.
Sorry for the late update but surprise surprise, no Note 4 delivery... Oh well I was at least able to get my pre-order in so now it's back to the good old refresh the email like no tomorrow and pray for early shipments
Not all reps.

Well the reps I talked to are nice and Ive dealt with them before when the S4 was about to be released. I was just bummed at how even the store manager told me it was coming, then I come in the next day saying I was told this to be questioned on who told me it and why.. Either way my pre-order is in and I'm hoping it ships early like my Galaxy S4 did.
TMobile devices are shipping now.
After checking my tracking number It shipped from KY which is where TMobile warehouse resides I guess and my phone is showing in the Nashville UPS hub since im located here in Nashville TN.
It has a delivery date of this Monday by 4PM.
That goes for allot of people who preorderd on TMobile. Getting devices way ahead of the 17th!.
Still no change on my pre-order status for the phone, but interesting enough on friday my sim-card they include in the pre-order changed from "preparing to ship" to "processing". Hoping for a speedy shipment.
I'm with AT&T and still sitting at preparing to ship between the 14th and 16th but I'm willing to bet this will change come monday. Not expecting much today since it's Sunday. Quite surprised your status changed so late on a Saturday, maybe they will at will at least get the devices to UPS today. They won't move obviously but if they have them then that means first thing Monday morning it's gonna get real :fingers-crossed::victory::fingers-crossed:

I wouldn't expect to see anything change unto the early morning Monday hours. It's Sunday, NOTHING moves on Sunday. I mean businesses can drop **** off sometimes but it just sits in a back room waiting for business hours.
