It has not been mentioned yet, but many people speculating that it will be released between the 15th-22nd because for the $100 gift card deal they are doing for trading in an old phone, it requires that you buy the phone before March 31st, and they would most likely give you about a week or more to be able to buy the phone in order to get that deal.

i definitely see what youre saying but i kinda feel like sprint would hold off so you had to go with their buy back program. i hope im wrong. also usually youre upgrades are available on the first like mine is 4/1 so im gonna call when they release it and beg to have it pushed up and send htc my og evo for the $100.

Yeah I was also speculating that as well, as carriers love to squeeze every last dime you have out you. :/ AT&T definitely is not excluded from that bunch (Carrier I use). I've had an upgrade available for more than 6 months. (Once every sixth and a half months since we've been with them for so long) We can use them any time we want, doesn't have to be the first of the month.
Definitely hope it's released before April rolls around! I was thinking that maybe the HTC $100 trade-in program required you to pre-order (aka buy) the phone before March 31st so was concerned that the phone for U.S. carriers wouldn't come out till April.

HTC just has a register page for the $100 deal. They do no have a pre-ordering here in the u.s.
Therefore, the device must be in your hands by the 31st. Which means it will have to release before the 31st. I'm assuming and hoping.

So I was all pumped about getting an HD 7 and thought since WP 7is brand new to market, they would be opening up upgrade pricing to anyone. But, have come to find out, that's not happening. They can do it with iPhone releases and its just OS updates as WP 7 is. Someone tell me I'm not going to have to pay full price, especially since I got my HD 2 about 8-9 mths ago and was the only reason I switched to T-mobile.

Anyone?.....
I called Tmobile and they said they dont have any info until later this week. Cant wait! I hate my Samsung Vibrant
the hd7 is on O2 not t-mobile, this could be one reason they wont offer an upgrade to it.
You can buy it on pay as you go for £380 (really good price) or do what i did and sell your phone and use the cash to buy out the contract then get a new one (my dad bought my desire and I paid off my contract and still had some cash left to buy my wife some jeans and shoes).

Yeah, I called them too and they seemed pretty firm on not budging on allowing any kind of early upgrade for me (said to wait 6 mths and I started service with them in Mar. getting my HD2) at release time. They said I'll just have to wait until it comes out and could see what happens with them selling it for a lower\non-contract price.

It's on Tmobile here in the USA exclusively. I thought about selling my HD2, but I really want to keep that phone forever. I've sold every other one (sometimes not needing to) and everyone now and then I regret it. So, I promised I would never give up the HD2. It was the beginning of an era and the best thing winmo ever ran on.
Oh oops my bad i keep forgetting that there is a world outside of this tiny island lol

LOL! No, I totally understand and maybe $500 or so will be worth it. It's just the uncertainty of WP7 (although I'm sure I'll love it) missing some of the things I've become accustomed to.
The only time Tmo budges on upgrades is if a customer has been with em for more then 2 years or/and is over 14 months since their last upgrade and with that said all that depends on the rep/sup you talk too...only reason is tmo is coming out with so many new phones between now and Q2 due to the new hspa+ network....and if they continue to hand out early upgrades each time a new phone comes out we are losing a lot of money...also with it being around Christmas all tenure customers are calling in wanting full discounts....and when customers are wanting a full discount on a $550 phone before thier commitment time that difference comes out of tmo pocket....Tmo sells the phones not make em...
Remember you're not dealing with ATT or apple here so u cant really compare it to the iphone release....maybe u can call HTC and see if they'll switch it out for you lol im just saying...You made a choice of signing a 2 year contract 8-9 months ago to get a discount on the HD2....Tmo is out to make thier customers happy but everytime a new phone comes out we cant continue to hand out cause YOU feel its the right thing to do since u switch from a diff provider...They still have to run a company
And just so you know the only reason ATT offered the upgrade early for the iPhone 4 is because June 1st they increased their ETF to $375 so they were getting thier customers under this new contract policy by giving out early upgrades when the Iphone 4 released on July 27th
Sooo with all that said good Luck on getting that full discount...u might talk to the right rep and they will work it out for u

Man, you must work for them for sure Especially with the "we" references. lol and JK. But, I understand your point and I'm sure tmob makes that difference up in the price I pay for service Or else they would never offer or upgrade people early. And besides that, I don't even care if they update my contract and extend 2 yrs from the day they give me the discount. So, increasing my contract every time I do that would benefit them, I would imagine? And I don't want to change phones every time one comes out. ONLY a great one from HTC, which at most may be every year, as slow as we get things here in the US. lol. Didn't know the stuff about ATT and the iPhone upgrade, so thanks for that piece of knowledge. All I'm saying is, I can disconnect a line and add a line at Wal-Mart, for cheaper (don't really care what phone number I have), so Tmob might as well put that money in their pocket and save the hassle. I have 3 lines (all ready to buy a new phone) and still have 2 lines with ATT. So, it's no joke with my service and ATT learned the hard way about not keeping up with device releases as they lost a lot of people for simply not carrying and providing what their customer's asked.
My upgrade period is up, and not sure which one to get.
I like the HTC One a lot, but I might just wait instead...
What do you guys think, is there anything on the horizon that would be worth my time waiting?
Also noting that it IS 99$ on amazon.
At this time, $99 for the best smartphone in the world is a no brainer with your contract up. DO IT.

It would seem... that easy...
but at this moment, I searched some stuff up that might be out in the next 2 months, and I found it..
The Moto X phone, by google(?).
It looks pretty promising to me, but then again, it will most likely be 199$ with the upgrade
If you keep waiting, you'll never buy a new phone because there's always something new out just around the corner.
Unless you absolutely, no compromise, want a Nexus device, don't wait. You'll be hard pressed to find something better until the next generation of hardware rolls out.

Very true, thanks everyone who gave me insight, with my evo 3d dieing, I think it's time for an upgrade .
If you are on Sprint, your best bet is to hold out for tri-band lte phones later this year. If you need a new phone now, this is probably the best out there, providing that htc is able to continue supporting it. Sprint may also end up with a 64GB version in the near future...

I got my HTC One for $98 and they gave me a $50 gift card with it at the local Wal-Mart.

I don't understand. I once heard someone say that premium Sprint users used to be eligible to upgrade on the year every year instead of 2 years. Didn't they cancel that?
Who is it hurting to let someone upgrade when they please? I don't understand these telecom politics!

Tmobile;s offer to pay my ETF's is very tempting. Only issue is I have to give them my One for the deal and am only offered 106 bones for a phone in superb condition. I cant see selling my one for that price, then pay carrier price for a GSM HTC one . Was eyeing the Nexus 5 but has no wifi calling option with tmobile
I Am getting sick of saying "are you still there". So used to this crap network, even a pause in the convo I auto think connection dropped once again! And the LTE rollout is not all what is cracked up to me. Very disapointed but still holding strong for now, not sure how much longer i will, wife is begging to leave sprint!!
Not a sprint hating post, just a little rant is all. Called sprint to tell them Tmobile would buy me paying the ETA.s could you please drop 2 lines no longer used, they wouldnt budge. SO instead of keeping me with 2 lines, they would rather have tmobile pay etf's for my 4 lines and have me move on i guess.
Sprint still has the program...well sort of. They call it EasyPay rather than OneUp. Basically the same clusterf#ck but with a different name and is tied to the Framily plan. Still a decent deal...if service was better. You can have yearly upgrades by getting the $20 unlimited data option which we have now anyways. No offense to Tmo fans but Tmo is worst than Sprint here where i live...and
via sexy phONE.
So...since I did the One Up thing...in November when it is time for me to "one up", I'm screwed because the plan no longer exists?! This is some real s***t! Lure me in to upgrading once per year, my phone bill goes up by $10/month, and then yank the plan out from under me?
Are current one up subscribers SOL? Or are we grandfathered in?

Has anyone heard any rumors as to when Moto will sell the Nexus 6 through their site? I would love to use my moto credit and take advantage of no interest financing. Thanks!
I would like to know the same thing. I was sort of expecting the Play Store and Motorola to both do the pre-ordering today. I really can't afford to drop $650.00 all at once, so I wanted to use Motorolas financing like you said. There is nothing indicating any pre-sale or release date.
Ditto I'd like to know. Hopefully we'll know something by this wknd
http://blog.clove.co.uk/2014/10/29/...loveTechnologysBlog+(Clove+Technology's+Blog)
I wonder what is going on I mean even the N5 was up for a few hours on its first pre-order day.
That link is for the UK. It doesn't mean it is the same for the US
I really hope they let more than a handful of people get the device before the holidays. Let's see what happens next. Had anyone see heard about t mobile removing their release date of November 12?
I heard this rumor today, but I'm not sure if it's true. I really hope T-mobile will sell it on November 12th. I'm jealous of the few people who were able to pre-order the Nexus 6 from Google. So, if T-Mobile has it on the 12th, I can get the last laugh because the pre-sale devices won't be shipped until the 21st.

The 21st is a place holder. It will be shipped well before that. The purchase is pending on our cards. Most banks don't allow pending for more than 5 days without being canceled. So expect to see shipment posts in the next few days. Most likely the 3rd with the N9. It's not like they have a bunch to ship out anyway.

As others have said it's most likely going to ship sooner than the 21st...keep in mind unless you have a T-Mobile Account most stores will not sell you a device outright.
I just got off the phone with a kind woman over at Samsung regarding my pre-order, placed on the 3rd of this month. I was simply asking her -- considering both t-mobile and verizon have begun charging/shipping phones -- whether or not I should stick with my order at Samsung directly, or cancel it and go through my provider (Verizon... I know).
She very warmly told me, that Samsung would not be shipping phones until mid-September... I got a little worked up at this point and said "excuse me? I ordered this on the pretense that it would be shipped AT THE LEAST by the 19th" to which she fumbled around for a bit and told me that, "No dear, all Samsung orders are going out mid-September."
Suffice to say - this was rather surprising news and I'm pretty damned upset about it. I think I'll be going ahead and cancelling my order and walking into a store on Friday.
Just a heads up to anyone else waiting (if anyone else is waiting) on Samsung direct.
ETA - I didn't mean to post this in the T-mobile section - my apologies!!

I had also preordered the Coral Blue Note 7 directly from samsung.com and chose T-Mobile as the carrier. After reading your post, I called up samsung customer service too and they told me that those that preordered will be receiving the first batch before August 19th. I'm not sure if its just a T-Mobile thing though, since I see that you ordered from Verizon. Maybe you should try calling Verizon too to verify this information before you cancel.
I actually called back a couple of times to get some kind of statistical honesty... Yeah I know.
Finally I spoke to someone high enough up the ladder who said, "the only people who know when the phones from Samsung will ship, are the corporate execs. Despite what anyone tells you, only carriers can release early, as the manufacturer, we just wait. However, if you did preorder early, you will get your phone around the 19th as we've been told."
It only took me 5 phone calls to get some honesty... Albeit bizarre honesty. ALL I WANTED WAS TO HEAR 'Hey man, I'm gonna ship your phone on Monday!"
BTW I also went with coral blue, ordered on 8/3

Yeah I'm realizing that now after I pre-ordered with a presumption that it would be unlocked. I cannot stand a locked bootloader with no root. Going to return it take a $50 hit for a restocking fee lick my wounds wait 2-3 weeks for the international version to come out.. they have them on Amazon already for $980 but you can't order until August 31st. I guess I'll play with this for 2 weeks before I return it cuz I'm getting charged $50 either way for a restocking fee whether I open the box or not... Plus China is getting a version with 6 gigabytes of RAM and 128 gigabytes of storage. That's what we were supposed to get the begin with from what I understand I've been waiting a year for this. I love the Note line..I have owned every Note ever made... in the last few years it feels like they add one thing and take away two! Samsung needs to be Samsung not copy or emulate Apple.. and also listen to the people because in the end it's us who spend our hard-earned money to buy these products they are now costing upwards to $1,000....if they don't... then I'll have to hit the lottery and start my own phone company with an S Pen...I'll call it Snapple....hahaha

Lol here's the deal- money talk and sh*t walks. Samsung will make WAY more money from idiots who haven't a clue what a bootloader even is thru samsung pay alone than what they'd lose if EVERY XDA member who's ever registered decided not to buy because of it...it's a no brainer for them. And as much as I've loved my Note devices (all of them since the N2) it's a real kick in the teeth smh makes me not want to buy one at all smh except I'll just wait on the 930F or get the Chinese 6gb model imported and activate on BYOD...
