Anyone having issues finding an HD7? I went downtown today (maybe a bit late on the shipment i guess) and they were all sold out.
I asked the guy to check the other stores and nothing came up.
He said the next shipment should come in on thursday, so heads up to anyone.
Could you not order online direct from o2?

Same with me, called the local store on launch day and they didn't have it, ordered online and it arrived the next.
Picked mine up at my local o2 store where they had a few in stock. I don't believe many people have actually noticed the price o2 have these on pay-as-you-go. Either that or they're just not bothered about WP7!
Fantastic device btw, although I did get mine exchanged the next day as the volume up button wouldn't "click" as much as the volume down would.
Try O2 in Angel, that's where I got mine on launch day. I'm not suprised they are in short supply, I turned up at 11:30am on launch day and there was already someone waiting for them to finish logging the delivery into the system
On launch day I visited two O2 stores, one on Oxford Street. They had none on display, none in stock and no POS shouting about them. I crossed the road to the Orange store at 7pm and even at that time they had promo people outside the store encouraging demo's of the Mozart. Inside they had at least 3 demo units, a demo guy and a security guard.
I also called O2 that day and they said the HD7 was not available on PAYG until the next day.
It was clear to me who is putting effort into the WP launch. It's a shame that O2 have exclusivity, because in the end I ordered the HD7 on the O2 website on PAYG on launch day.
I cannot stand O2, but that's the way it works when you value the phone more than the annoyances of the distributor. At least I'm not in any kind of contract with them.
I went to pick mine up yesterday, expecting them to have none. I had been in the day before and asked if they were going to set-up a display (Like the have for the iPhone 4) so I could test out the handset and OS. They assured me it would be up on the Saturday. I thanked them, went on my way...anyway, I went in yesterday (Sunday) and there still was no phones on display, but there was at least some WP7 posters now....I was chatting to a new guy there and he said they simply didn't seem to care about it, because they're so focused on iPhone 4 contracts and the money it brings them.......
As the post above said, O2 don't give a damn. They still have the IP4 marketshare from the 3G/3GS exclusivity deal and that is all they seem to focus on. Orange on the other hand, although having the iP4 now don't have the fortune of that headstart so they seem to make an effort with other handsets.
Had Orange of sold the Omnia 7 on PAYG, I'd of brought that. But as the HD7 is such good value, I went down that route. Within 2 minutes of having it, I was unlocked and chucked in another SIM
I went to 2 O2 stores on the release day, none had a clue when they were getting them in. I ended up ordering the phone off the O2 website and got it next day.
I thought about going to buy one in the O2 store in Westfield, but had a contact in O2 who said that the website was being updated at 07:30 on Thursday morning, so I ordered online before I went to work.
I've not been into Westfield since, so couldn't say if they even had any -- think I walked past last Tuesday, and there was no sign. Got sort of chased out as I attempted to find out if the display HD2 would fit in my jeans pocket.
just got mine tonight on Oxford street.
So giddy
I posted earlier that they had them in O2 Angel and that they had point of sales plastered all over their windows. Suprised no one has tried there rather than whining about O2 not having it in thier local stores. If people still have problems, when posting state which stores are empty.
I'm planning to get one for my gf for christmas but i'll only have a weekend in the US to purchase one and have to make sure I get one.
Are they in stock at AT&T stores nationwide? I'm going to be in south florida (miami/ft. lauderdale area) and just want to make sure. I tried ordering on AT&T's website but you can't purchase it without a contract, I hope it's not like that in store too.
Any suggestions?
Simply put, are they in stock everywhere or will I have a hard time finding one?

Hard to say, I bought mine the first the day it came out. The AT&T store where I got it only had one (the one I bought) but maybe in miami they´ll have more because it's a larger city!!!
I didn't have to get a contract, but some people have reported they were forced to get a contract at AT&T retail stores

I had same experience, it looks like most AT&T stores had 1-2 quantities, best to call if interested maybe you can get a $100 reduction due to employee false advertising (a mistake made during my transaction but honored)
Thanks for the replies... This will be the weekend the make it happen so *fingers crossed*
At least there isn't a mad rush for them it doesn't seem.
As others have suggested call ahead. I went in yesterday not thinking they'd have them. They haven't gotten their display units in and only had two in stock. The salesman said since November they only sold one. Most people don't know about the camera yet and Samsung hasn't done its national campaign yet.
I'm in NY, had to hit 3 different stores - 1 didn't even carry it, 1 tries to sell me a contract to get it, in the third store I asked for a manager because I wanted to buy it full retail without a plan, finally walked away with it in my bag. Oh yea, i love this thing!
Generally you can go to the AT&T website, find the Galaxy Camera, click on "Check In-Store Availability", and then give the Zip Code for where you are interested. Any that say "OUT OF STOCK" are indeed, out or never had. For "IN STOCK" it is best to call first unless you don't mind driving. Stock is based on the previous day's updates, and you never know who might have been there first.
Well, just to update everyone, it was a no go.
None of the stores in the Miami/Ft.Lauderdale area had them in stock.
Thankfully they have started popping up on amazon so i went ahead and got it there. Also kinda happy that I got the unlocked one also since i wouldn't be using it on AT&T anyways.
So the camera is with a friend of mine and i'll be getting it next Friday.
I reserved the Galaxy s4 at my local Sprint store on Monday. Walked in today and they had 8 available. So needless to say, you might want to check your local Sprint store to see if they had any shipments because mine did. By the way I returned the HTC One for this phone and I couldn't be happier.

Sprint won't be my carrier but if they have them in store I would stop by just to check out the phone in person, assuming they have one for display.
Our 2 local sprint stores and BB all got the Sprint S4's in today. I almost bought one, but they would not match the online price of $149 that I could get on sprint.com by adding a new line. So I came home and ordered one up instead. $100 is a $100. But it was nice to play with one in the store a bit before making the final decision.

Wait, what? I thought Sprint delayed all of the S4s. When I called BB about my pre-order yesterday to see if it was affected, all I got was that it wasn't in yet and they wouldn't get any sort of an ETA because of them using drop shipment to (supposedly) get it there faster. I may have to drop in today and see what's up with that. >.>
Edit: Just did so. According to the rep I spoke with, Samsung only shipped the ATT phones. All other carriers' S4s have yet to show up. Anyone else running into something similar?

We went into the Sprint store shortly after they opened on Saturday just to see if they might have received any. I'd heard the delayed rumors too, so was not shocked when they said no. Mgr said he'd got an email the night before saying they might try to scrape a few together and get them there, so check back later. Basically the same story at the BB store 2 blocks away. Called later in the day and the Sprint store had them in. So I went in and played with it for a while. When they could not price match the web price, we went over to BB. They had also received the phones but would not match the price either.
All were Sprint phones, both colors, 16gb. They are getting delivered for retail sales, at least in some areas. Guaranteed. You can call the Sprint or BB stores in Rogers and Bentonville Arkansas to confirm it, if you'd like. They may all be sold out by now as there were folks lined up to look at them, but they had them for a while yesterday, at the least. I had a black one in my hands and ready to buy until the ad match snafu came up.
Sprint stores in NJ had them...but the store by me only had 6, 3 white / 3 black...I walked in after 3hrs of them being opened and they still had 4.

Haha your first paragraph was just be way my several went at one of my local corporate store I reserved a handset at. But when I called a friend at another corporate location just a few towns south of me, she said she had a huge supply but we're running low rapidly. And even at 10:15am the store was PACKED! So in turn, I had a feeling that some stores may have some supply. Which was exactly what happened. Funny, cause the 2 BB stores in Mt area have the Samsung booths. Neither were displaying anything. Which I thought was unusual, cause even though there is a delay, I would have thought that they would at least wanna show Em off

I got mine! 4.2.2 is alot different. Menu's have more to it. Overall I am liking the GS4. Bigger screen, smoother and faster than my GS3. I cant wait until a solid root is out there and for Ktoons OC kernel to come out! I can see this thing rocking 2.5 GHZ with it's quad core! My Quadrant score is already 12,772 stock, so I'm thinking 18,000 is possible!
I'm going to get mine right now! My local sprint store still has some left over from launch. And they're expecting more in tomorrow. Nice inventory scare tactic samsung
Spoke to a sprint employee on the 24th(after they stopped taking pre-orders) and was told they'd only get enough S4s to satisfy pre orders and then would have to wait for "a week or so" for a shipment of S4s for the general public. So I preordered from amazon and they said they'd ship the today and deliver May 1st. But yesterday I called local sprint stores and 3rd one I called said they had one left in white. Amazon preorder cancelled shortly their after . Any way what I took away from this fro any one still looking for S4s is that some sprint stores have general public stock but generally the bigger stores closer to downtown (I'm in Houston). The stores that only have pre order stock just don't know what the hell they are talking about .
I'm in Houston too and got mine from the Westpark store. They had plenty of them. Like 50 or so! Don't know about today though.....

I must have gotten lucky, because I ordered mine online from Sprint Saturday the 28th in the afternoon (pst), and received a shipping notification Sunday at 10AM and received my shipment Monday morning at 9:45 AM. Needless to say I was happily shocked
I was able to use Upgrade Now for $100 fee. They bought my cracked E4GT for $64. They said they had 13 white and 8 black.

I am a new Tmo customer and wanting the N6, was with you all refreshing and trying to preorder last week. I am in a torn on what I want to do right now, trying to figure out if I even want to try to order from google today or Tmo next wed.
?'s (1) Is Play store support that much better then Tmo's support???
(2) How are Tmo's online orders. Want a midnight blue 64gb, so I will have to order online.
(3) Does anyone know when orders usually go live online at tmo?
(4) Thinking I want to insure phone, is Jump better then off carrier options for insurance and what are some good options there?
I'm sure there are many other things to consider, so I'm basically trying to start a conversation on pros and cons of each route. Tmo is releasing next wed, so wondering if I'm being an impulsive, impatient child trying to order today. I have absolutely zero experience ordering from tmo or google.

1.) Depends if you want to ship your device in for RMA or not. With tmo support you get an overnight replacement same as google.
2.) Not sure when their online orders go live but if you want that version online should be fine unless their servers get bogged by users. I believe the iPhone release broke their servers . you can also call them and then can order it for you
3.) Jump offers you extended warranty past the one year google offers. Which means after the year if they still have return devices to send you they can send them to you if you have issues with your phone. Jump also allows you to trade in that device for another in the future . I'd still research other insurance providers in case you are looking for other things. I never order online and rather walk u to a store just because if something wrong happens I can walk right in, get it exchanged for a new one without having to wait for another in the mail. Also I can just pay for it same day and use it same day.

Thinking I need to just wait. There are a lot of other factors that lean me towards waiting too. I already have our tax exempt status registered through tmobile, with google, have to pay tax then send stuff in to get it refunded afterwards. Was thinking about ordering through google and then just canceling if able to preorder through tmo that day. Seems to me like, other than being able to relax and know you have one ordered, there is no real advantage to ordering from google as opposed to tmo.

Are the carrier versions the same at the google play store version like the N5 was? I want to just go through TMobile too but don't want any bloatware on it.

Yes and No....I think.....From what I have taken from around the web, android 5.0 lets carriers install their apps automatically when their particular sim is inserted, however, it is my understanding that these can be deleted as well.
So my understanding is, both phones are the same, they only change once the sim is put in it. So if tmo n6's come with sim already in it, then they may come with bloat, but it will be able to be deleted. I am no expert by any stretch of the imagination, so, I could be mistaken here, but this is how I interpreted what I have read.
Correct. The only app downloaded on our N6 is My T-Mobile when you turn on your device. It is deletable though.
anyone hear any info on a 100% positive release date in stores? from what everyone is saying and this http://newsroom.t-mobile.com/news/t...-to-its-data-strong-network-this-november.htm posted in tmobiles official blog site, november 12th seems to be the day. but i called about 10 different tmobile stores in pittsburgh today and none of them can give a definitive answer as to the 12th being the day that stores will begin to sell them. the nexus 4 and 5 were both sold out on their respective release dates in stores here and i don't want to miss out on it once again. i'm hoping that a pre-order will go live or they will notify me before then. 2 stores that i called actually told me that they would go live on tmobile.com on the 12th but stores won't be getting them until the 15th or 16th(saturday or sunday) which basically tells me that they don't know what they're talking about. i'm itching to use my jump upgrade and i'm not completely decided on whether i'm getting the note 4 or nexus 6. i guess i'll wait this out a little longer.

There is no way that stores will have it available before Google ships those pre-orders. The Galaxy Gear S was suppose to release today to all carriers but after checking with 4 local T-Mobile stores in my area none had it yet. So I really highly doubt they'll have it on the 12th.

Called two stores. They'll have it the 12th. Tmonews released leaked roadmap and it was Aldo on the 12th. It could be google has plans to ship pre orders to arrive in the 12th. There's also a rumor the ota for other devices starts on the 12th.

Cool so when you grab one take pics and come on here and post them. You'll have it before the rest of use that pre-ordered on the Playstore.
So my AT&T store got their N6's in-stock but as everyone knows they were recalled. They have no ETA on when they will have more in-stock BUT told me they can still order one for me threw something called the fulfillment center? They said it would take 3~5 days for it to ship.
Is this true?
If they can have them shipped in 3 to 5 days, why do they have no ETA on getting them? I'm reluctant to order one and then have the wait turn into weeks or even a couple months.
I'm almost thinking about getting an S5 tonight at Best Buy for the Black Friday $1.00 dollars deal. I REALLY want the N6 but my S3 is broken and I'm without a phone right now. It broke a just under two weeks before the N6 was due out so I didn't file a claim for insurance, just held out for the N6 and that damn recall crap happened.
I keep seeing people say they are just going to go get one from Best Buy but when I call any Best buy in my state they tell me they never got N6's and their system shows they never not N6's yet people keep saying here on XDA well I'm just going to go get one from BB etc.

First, the stores have been getting their replacement N6's for the past 2 days. Some stores got them in Tuesday, the ones near where I live got them Wed. Chances are high that, if your local stores don't have them already, they'll get them Friday.
As for "direct fulfillment" taking 3-5 days, it's kind of a random thing. I ordered one around noon on Tuesday with overnight delivery, and it showed up at my door Wed morning. (However, the AT&T website and the call centers all insisted it wouldn't ship until sometime in December.) I've read of some people taking a day or two before they ship out, and then another 2 days for actual delivery. It also depends on if AT&T has physical stock. (Also, if you order on black Friday, it's possible that no one will ship it until the following week - due to the holiday.)
If you want the nexus 6, I'd call your local corporate stores (more than one) Friday around 1pm to see if they got their daily shipment yet and if any nexus 6's came in.
Interesting that the AT&T store did not have any clue when they might receive a re-stock. I also checked another one that is in my local mall, I do not know if it's a corporate store but they said a few weeks.
I do know that no Best Buys in my state show any N6's have ever come in, one of the guys checked the computer for me.
I will go try the AT&T store tomorrow. I would rather SEE the phone I'm actually getting and not wait for it to just show up on my door step!
Thanks for the update. Side note this delay has allowed for my Digitronics TPU Gen 2 N6 case to be here when I do get my phone. Suppose to be delivered tomorrow!
N6 AT&T
No sign of the N6 in at&t stores or best buy in CA. I've checked every day this week. I will check again today.
I ordered mine before Thanksgiving from AT&T website and it arrived yesterday, haven't had any trouble with mine.

yeah I was able to pick up a Nexus 6 from ATT store yesterday here in Michigan, actually Angola, IN across board from me and I think My local ATT store has couple too and we are actually kind out away from any major city and they had them in stock and I was really surprise they did.
I should have updated the thread. I ended up finding one at one of the Corporate stores here in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
They got them in on Friday.
The At&t store here in Salem, Oregon has them, I just got mine today. The website wouldn't tell me a shipping date so I popped in on the off chance they had them in since the recall. The rep told me they just came in yesterday and were in the back still, then went and got me one. Seems they only have the midnight blue though.
UPDATE.

I finally found the phone after calling around to other at&t stores in nearby towns. Lesson learned; even though one employee from one store says noone has it, keep checking. They don't know and they dont care. They had three of them in stock and not a whole lot of accessories. As i was buying it, a lady asked me what phone it was and picked one up clueless. The employees barely know what they're selling if it's not a Samsung or iphone. The emoloyees had no idea they were the only stire with the phone in stock. So, the stores don't talk to one another and these were corporate stores, noy authorized retailers.
