I also have never preordered a phone. I'm debating if I should or not as the release date the 11th is a Sunday. I wouldn't mind walking into the sprint store on sunday to get it if preorders aren't delivered early.

Well I went to place the order over the phone today and the rep said they weren't shipping until the 11th. I told her that it was a sunday and that they should ship early, and after being transfered to the supervisior I was told that they defiently will not be shipping before the 11th, despite what the website says. So I cancled my incomplete pre-order and I'll just go to the local corporate store on sunday and grab one. I figure after reading the AT&T thread, sprint might do the same. Ship things out on the 8th or 9th and you may or may not get it by launch day.

Some AT&T corp stores are selling them today (I bought one at 9:15 this morning and had mine before anyone who preordered; GREAT phone btw), while other people went into AT&T corp stores and were told that they couldn't buy one until Sunday. I wouldn't be surprised to hear that Sprint stores are as confused as AT&T.

amazonwireless back-ordered till January 9thish

Yea I went to apply for it and well it gives a estimated arrival date of January 9th... I was so bummed. I don't want to order a phone adn be charged for service before I even get the phone.
So where did you guys and gals order it from?

:{ Wonder if it is because i am a JR and my father lives at the same address and they can't find me...

I received mine from a LG covention they had in Atlanta weeks before its release, then I ordered one through Sprint on the 19th and havent got a shipping notification yet. That could be because of the holidays, but at work we can order them and have them in within 3 days, so I wouldnt think they are on backorder from the manufacturer, probably amazon is setting expectations for the holiday season.

Like mentioned before BestBuy will price match almost any online price and if its a new line of service not an upgrade almost every real coporate sprint store will as well.

i got it from letstalk wireless. The error was that WHile I am a JR my father has a sprint account and we live at teh same address so they needed confirmation it was someone different. Anyways No deposit and 3 lines :} Im happy lol and with my corporate/university discount I only pay around 64~69 ish a month.
So My soon to be fellow phone owners long live optimus G XD

Just wondering if you received your device yet? I ordered a device from amazon recently and seems like they gave me the same 8 week till ship scenario too, just wondering if it will really be that long.

I am cheap, so waiting was no problem as I had an epic I still love. I ordered it Dec. 1 (my upgrade date) and it said it was backordered until jan 16th for the estimated delivery. Anyway, long story short it came in the mail on the 6th. I can't say the backorder is just BS, but I thought I was gonna be doing the 25 days after christmas countdown to get my phone.

When I bought mine, it said it was on back order and expected in January. I got it 5 days later. Not promising anything, just sharing my experience.

Did you buy your T-Mobile Note II Online or T-Mobile Retail Store?

My online order was recently cancelled by T-Mobile for unknown reasons, possibly due to no stock. It is really frustrating especially after you wait for a week to find out the phone you ordered was on backorder and eventually cancelled. Is it better to wait and purchase online at T-Mobile's website once stocks are available again or should I purchase at the T-Mobile store? Are there any differences I should be looking out for?

Retail Store
I bought my Note 2 at the retail store. I had a similar experience with the first Note, ordered it and found out 3 days later the order was canceled because they were out of stock. In hind sight sort glad it turned out that way, loving my Note 2.

Got mine at the tmobile store. At the time it was same price in store and online. The guy activated my new sim and added the phone to my insurance. Paid full price. I was in and out of the store about 20 minutes....painless

try ordering over the phone.

That's what I did, even though I paid same price as online, I considered it good deal already, since they let me upgrade 11 months earlier than my original upgrade date.

I bought it from corporate store during promotion and I will get $200 rebate.

What's a corporate store? Is it the same as T-Mobile Retail Store?
Also the promotion you are getting, is that with contract, only?

It's corporate store, not dealer.
Do you remember the $0 promotion from 21-31 last month? This applied to Value Plan only and your contact will be reset.

I remember a promotion like that going on. However, I was inclined into a different plan. Guess, that was the reason why I waited and finally came to know T-Mobile's Online store was out-of-stock. I wouldn't mind paying the full price for the Note II. Would stores be having it ready in stock?

Did you call the number that they gave for questions? I did, and they said that it was not canceled even tho i received the same email, and they said it to be an error. I recently put my order number in and it came up cancelled, but low and behold a few hours later i received an email that my note II has shipped. I would check your CC and see if they charged it. And call in. :good: good luck

What the hell is up with Best Buy preorders?

SO I canceled my Verizon pre order to do it through best buy (felt more reliable with $200 gift card, not waiting for a mail in rebate which never comes), and they dont seem to be available. http://www.bestbuy.com/site/promo/samsung-galaxy-note-4-128435
I was in store on Saturday to pre order, and they just said it wasnt available. The Samsung "Experience Coordinator" (or whatever it is), had no explanation, was really pissed off, and just offered to text me when they become available to preorder. Anyone know whats going on?

Hearing Sold Out @BB!

Wow, I was able to pre-order mine for Verizon on Thursday, this past week.

I've been waiting for them to open the pre orders on their website because I don't live near a bb but I would be willing to drive to pick it up to save $200. If I can't order it through bb I'm gonna be pissed. I really don't want to deal with uploading the receipts and all that crap for the other promo. If I have to I will, but I would much rather deal with bb. I am pre ordering by the end of the week no matter what weither it's from bb or verizon.

When I preordered the Sprint one there was issues with their site and store connections. I had to go back 2 days later to put it in. At that time there was a message flashing across the screen that the Verizon preorders could not be taken yet. Just keep calling until they are up, you have until the 16th to preorder.

I was in there Saturday also and was told all they had left to pre-order was white. When I got home and looked online even white was gone. Bummer because the employee told me that the tradein program was very lax and that they would accept pretty much any phone as long as it turned on and didn't have water damage/major cracks.

i went in to a bb to check out the note 4 as well. Phone is sick! but i asked the same about pricing and ordering and they didnt have a clue on both! I was like really!??

Wife and I went to 3 Best Buy's yesterday to preorder for Verizon, 1st said only White was available, so I hesitated due to wanting black, so we drove to the next BB where they said preorders at their store sold out on Saturday, drove to the next BB and was told ALL BB Verizon preorders were shutdown Friday night due to being oversold. Was told this by both BB employees and Samsung Mobile employees at all 3 stores. Was really pissed because the preorder hasnt even began on BB website for Verizon - has always said Coming Soon.
Ended up preodering at Costco - 1 black and 1 white.

I know the phone is much higher through best than what saw at Verizon. The AT&T version is $825 and the Verizon version is $699.99.

That's what I saw also. I preordered the white from Verizon for $699.

I had the same experience... not able to Pre-Order online so I went into my local store. They said pre-orders were sold out as well. I called the Best Buy Mobile store and was surprised to hear him say they could pre-order black or white still. Ran up.. pre-ordered the phone!

Apparently BB allocations for the N4 are tapped out. Verizon obviously got the lion share of allocations.
Anybody thinking they will get the offer for full price sales are dreaming even more now.

The $200 deal is from Samsung so that stills good, just that Bestbuy is sold out with their limits so you can't pre order from them any more, but you could get N4 from Amazon or Verizon.

Well in our mall Best Buy Mobile is like a very small mini store. Also have been reading reports that this promotion will jot work unless you do 2 yr contract or edge plan... However I clearly asked and made sure that I could purchase the Note 4 at full retail and receive the $200 trade in value on my Motorola Droid X.
Employee said that it says clearly when activation 2 year contracts when they do promotions like this but this promotion had none of that wording. Simply towards any "purchase". Got it all in writing and had them sign it so I would have a "leg to stand on" if for some reason that went against what they were telling me.
BTW they said they had several in both black and white they could still pre order and their store hadn't reached they're limit

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.

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.
