Not to beat a dead horse hear but is anyone else having a hell of a time getting a tilt from our good ol reliable at&t stores? To first answer the obvious question; Why dont I just buy it online and shut the f_ _ k up about it? Answer- Because I have a hook up which will get me the device for next to nothing.
I am just wondering if anyone else is finding the shipments to actual stores as big of a ***** as me?
Thanks
Paul
Yup
I went to an ATT store in downtown Brooklyn on Monday, they told me they had Tilts, but they were not selling them to anyone not renewing their contracts. I ended up ordering mine online that day (no commitment). I got it this morning XP
I too have an in store hookup. He finally gave me a call yesterday. None of my stores got them in until a week and a half after release.
I was a little disappointed with their release of the phone and lack of distrobution but at least I got it now and it rocks.
The store local to me has them in stock on 10/7 and still have some. But they had no accesories (car charger, cases, headphones, etc.) and didn't even have one on display. I bought mine online, and had it the next day.
I had to call all the stores from Wall Street to Jersey City, and finally found ONE and she put it on hold for me to pick it up after work. Talk about a hard device to get a hold of! But, it was well worth it.
I just find it a bit odd that a corporate store in orange county has a harder time getting devices. If anything considering the 3g network up and running and even now (supposedly) HSUPA! Just think it just shows how retarded at&t really is. Thanks for the feedback everyone. Has anyone in the greater los angeles/ orange county area been able to get one from a local store?
The distribution center is 30 minutes from my house. How much you willing to pay for one?

How bout a carton of Marlboro's? LOL
You really in prison, damn our tax dollars hard at work again. Are you really that close to the distribution center? Is it in Cali or Texas? I will be waiting for my bro at the at&t store considering the discount Ill get but thanks for the offer.
In Silicon Valley, each of the local AT&T stores got a few on initial release and they were all sold in 1 day. My local store got a few more and called me since I had asked to be notified. By the time I called back, there was just one left and I was lucky to get it.
These things are hot at least in areas of high tech geek concentration ;-)
No offense of course since I am definitely one of those high tech geeks.

Order online. I had mine in two days.
Of course after I received it, one of the buttons didn't work, so I had to return it to a store for a swapout. It took quite a few calls, but i finally found one about 45 minutes from me.
Tip - If you order online, put in on a credit card. If for some reason you need to return it to a store within the first 30 days, that's the only way you'll be able to. Luckily I put mine on a card. If you have it charged to your monthly bill, you'll have to ship it back in and pay for a replacement unit. The problem is it could take several bill cycles to get the credit.
Another Tip - When you call the stores, hit option 2. IF you're lucky, you'll get an instore sales rep. For me, that was very hit-or-miss.

I'm in South Orange County and got mine from my buddy yesterday from a Corporate store. He held onto one of the first ones they got for me. They may have some more, I'm not sure.
swtaltima, call the kalaidescope at&t off of the 5 and crown valley, got mine there last friday...good luck. Chris

Yes I am in prison (aka marriage ).
I live in the DFW area and there is a DC in Fort Worth. Every time I've ordered a phone or sent one back for warranty, it was from/to there. I don't know if I could actually purchase from there, but I've been tempted to stop by and see what happens. What's the worse thing that can happen... they tell me NO.
I got mine on 10/5 at a local store. I'm guessing it was the first one sold in MI, lol
They never stick to true release dates! Go to your local one now!
What state and city lol. I am headed to my local now. Crossing fingers
Columbus, OH
I saw the cardboard box with them in it laying under the shelf. They hadnt stocked them yet and none on display
Dude if I were,close I would buy you a beer. Just picked mine up from walmart. Walking out now. Was nervous they were going to stop me and make me wait lol
Awesome!! I know what you mean.. the kid seemed new so I was making a sure a manager didnt come over and ruin it " You cant sell those yet!!"
hehe - i am digging it so far - switching from H2 / mytouch 4g. The only as I can describe it so far is "refined" - interface feels classy to me.

I see what you mean by classy. I agree. Its smooth as butter also. I downloaded the beta Mac syncing software and everything is syncing fine so far....well except drm protected stuff
did your movies take forever to sync? Not sure if its cause of the mac beta software of what but its taking forever.
So technically i could get this from walmart, get an unlock code and slap mt ATT sim card in it. They are both the same GSM frequency's, I think.

You could run att, but only get att's edge network on the US version.
I have an hd2 on att but am switching to tmobile this weekend for this phone and the venue pro to get the full 3g experince on them. It also helped that a block from my work they are installing new network towers for tmobile.
And I wont be running slow edge any longer.
Yep, sure enough, it's there! Got to hold the box No way I was paying 640 as I already have a rep scheduled to call me Monday morning and it can be no more than 490 after tax and everything. But, I was this ____ close to having it.
hi, 1st post but 4 months old reader of this forum.
I called walmart this morning and they said they have it but it is for a 2 yrs contract only. Maybe I'll drop by tomorrow and ask in person.
Why does your transaction state $600 when their website for pre-order is only $549. Wirefly is also $549.

Just go in. The lady was going to sell it to me if I wanted it. Just depends who is on duty and if they were advised that by their management or not.

Walmart's online prices vary from in-store prices. Call the store to verify pricing.
Gonna check my local store to see if anything came in.

If the frequencys are the same wouldn't get the 3g speeds? I would also utilize wifi spots. Do you think it would be best to get a tmobile version or would it still be edge speeds?

The T-Mobile version of the HD7 does not support the frequencies required to take advantage of ATT's 3G network. So you would be stuck on Edge if you bring this phone over to ATT.
I just picked a HTC HD7 from the Walmart in Fairview, OR. The Super Center store
p.s Clackamas has them, but the ladie in charge pulled them off the shelf and wouldn't sell them.
The Eatsport Palza one will not be carrying them.

Did you seriously paid this much money for a phone ?
That's hallucinating...
I'm on AT&T and have to pay 175$ early cancellation fees if I move to TMO which I'll do gladly and pay only 199$ for the phone. 175$ + 199$ = 374$, no way I'm paying 640$ for a phone...
The 3g 32gb Nexus will be released tomorrow. Has anyone seen any signs that they are available anywhere besides the play store? I would like to avoid the taxes and/or shipping changes.
PS Does the play store take returns if i have a screen lift problem.
PPS Since I currently do have a 7" tablet, I don't need to buy tomorrow. However, I would like 2 !!!

1) Outside of a T-Mobile "internal" document, I haven't seen any real confirmation about the release tomorrow (or technically today). It very well might happen, but it also might not. I'm hoping B&M stores carry them too, but it's unknown right now.
2) Yes, you have 15 days (or something like that) for a return and a full year warranty directly through Play Store - if you buy through them.
3) Is that a question?

3) No, it was not a question. It was a plea for someone to tell me/justify my impulse to just buy the N7 as soon as it is released. I am also trying to resist buying the Nexus 4 on release.

Go to the play store and see what happens when you try to select the 3G N7. My browser seems to be glitching. Edit, NM, its back to normal now.
And the only place it says that this device will be released is on the official google blog, but beyond that, i haven't heard a single thing. I even called the CS line today, and the only thing they told me was that "There is no definite release date."
It was not released in Australia along with the N4 and the N10.

I got an email from the UK Play store this morning saying the 3G model was available, and I have successfully placed an order.

Ditto. Was a bit of a git getting on to the website intially, but I managed and I've ordered it. 3-5 working days delivery (£13.99 p&p) . I got in work late as I didnt want them selling out before I got one... waited bloody ages for this.
It seems that no "bricks and mortar" outlets will currently stock the 3g version of the Nexus 7 in the UK and the only place to get it is Play Store.
32g 3g Nexus 7 starting to come up as out of stock now in the UK
For those of you that got the HSPA+ N7, did you get a notification in your email saying that it had gone on sale first?
NM, I reread people's emails. I need to do that better, haha
from the looks of things, only people in EU/etc are getting availability so far.... which means they prob just checked the store and it was there.

Yeah I got an email at the moment the play store had the Nexus 7 3G in stock. However, I'd been checking it every few minutes anyway
I've been patiently waiting for this to come out, but it seems no stores are stocking it online. Not in the UK so Google Play order while possible, is a bit pointless.
Are there any retailers indicating they'll get stock soon?

There is NO indication at this point that any retailers apart from Google Play will be stocking the 3g version of the Nexus 7. I checked thoroughly or I would have bought in a shop rather than online, as I would have prefered to have checked the thing over.
3G Version is LIVE in the US Play Store.
Website is sloooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow.
Haha I ordered it before I ever received the email saying it was ready to go! I hope there are design changes so that the flickering is gone.

WTF. This is pissing me off. I can't get my order to go through. Keeps giving me errors and just hangs.
Plus, their phone support just shut down incoming calls.
Just got my ordered from play store at 9:09am PST. Total was $336.16 (California tax and $13.99 for 2 day shipping). It took me around 10 tries to finally get it to check out.

I finally got through too. My first browser just hung so I did a second order and it went through. Took like 40mins from start to finish. This unit better be perfect. I'm going to return my (perfect) 32GB once I receive the 3G unit, so I'll be pissed if I need to RMA the 3G one for some defect.

I lucked out, my local Best Buy had a few Chromecasts in stock, and I was able to get one. I had to ask at the register though, as they had them stashed away in the back.
Also, my receipt did have the promo code for the three months of free Netflix streaming.
Watching a stream of the Super Series '76, Russian Red Army versus the Philadelphia Flyers on my television through the Chromecast right now. It's pretty nifty.
Now once I get the one I ordered from the Google Play Store, I'll have one for the television in the basement too!
My local best buy said they won't be getting them for 3 weeks! I'm wondering if I asked the wrong person..

probably that person didn't know.
I know the BB i went to had some (but sold out by the time I got there). First two guys I asked didn't know what it was, next guy said that they won't carry it till next week
I got mines today!. I called the bestbuy by my job and the girl told me that they had 8 in stock but to get there fast...she wasn't kidding I went in and there was a buy behind me buying one to. I called about a hour later and they sold out! I tried it out at work and it's great! When I got home I set it up again and netflix really does stream in HD very very clear. Now that the sdk is released I can't wait to see what kind of support we will see for it I'm in love with it this is really the future of TV.:good:
I talked to someone at the local store and they said they would be getting there's tomorrow. Hopefully they will have them when they open.
Mine got them tonight. Reserved it from the site and picking it up tomorrow.... got one from Amazon coming Tuesday as well

Got mine at a local Best Buy also.. On the website pretty much all of them in the immediate area were sold out, luckily this other one just had a truck come in with the first of their shipment. The guy in the TV section and the girl at the register told me it was asked about ALOT lol
Code still worked for Netflix also
Also got mine from my local Best Buy... They only had 7,and they weren't on the sales floor. The guy didn't even know what I was talking about, but I asked him to check the system and he found them in the back. One other person was there for them, and he bought 3.

Yup, popped over to my BB this evening around 9 pm, and when I got there (back in the laptop/iPad area) I noticed one of the Geek Squad guys was on stocking duty...and one thing he was stocking on the peg rack was about 10 of the Chromecasts (peg didn't even have a tag on it yet). Once I waited for him to finish, I went over a picked up 2 of them. Though I did notice that while I waited for him to stock the shelf about 2 different BB employees grabbed one each, presumably to pay for them at the end of the night.
Interesting this is, before I headed over there, I saw online that that store (plus maybe one other that was several miles away) had them in stock for store pickup...but after I got home around 10pm, I looked online again and they only listed "Ship to Store - 3-5 days"...now unless the rest were snatched up by employees during the last 45 minutes of business hours, I can't imagine that customers bought them up, but who knows. Anyways I'm considering myself lucky to have gotten hooked up!!
By the way, is there a dedicated XDA forum branch for the Chromecast development or other discussion, other than this area? I'm assuming that there at least will be since the SDK is being released and many cool things should be on the horizon.
as a Best Buy employee, I'm proud to say, as soon as it came off our truck last night, I begged my manager to let me buy it before we closed. but in all fairness, just call your local store in the morning and see if they have any in yet. most stores only received 10 initially, but i know my store is getting another 35 in the next day or two.
just call and ask, if they have it, go buy it asap

Hey thanks for chiming in here. I guess your experience goes to further support my observation at my local BB at around 8:45 pm local time this evening. Again as I said, it appeared that they were only then unpacking/unboxing these items and setting them up on store shelves. In the case of my store, they put it on an unlabeled peg tucked away on the same tiny wall as other miscellaneous USB dongles, almost like they didn't have a proper home for it (and in that case, good luck to anyone who is hoping to locate it in the store without first asking a BB employee to look it up!). At any rate, it appears that at least anyone with any tech savvy (i.e. BB employees and XDA members, lol) are all over these things, so I second reloaded's suggestion - unless you've already placed an online order somewhere, forget the online vendors and try hitting up your local Best Buys tomorrow AM, and then in the coming days. That is undoubtedly going to be your absolute best bet.
Was able to snag 2 at my local best buy. 1 for me, and another to see if I can flip for more money on eBay if they are as hard to come by as the nexus 4 launch. Here's to hoping !
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
Wow....I just checked also. At 7:45 I called the only BB online close to me that still had them available. The girl checking told me the truck arrived not to long ago with 16 in the shipment. When I got mine (as stated earlier) at 8pm, they still had most left..Checking on the website again, they are ship to store now..
Jesus these things are like hotcakes lol...They are selling on Ebay for a pretty penny too!!
First Best Buy I went to this morning swore up and down there was no way to get them until next week. After asking another employee to check the SKU(9071056) and told me they did not have any in stock but the store about 10 min away still had all 10.
Ran over to the other store.. just as others have already said.. it was in the laptop section. They were still in a box on the counter. Netflix code was printed on the receipt.
Mine only had 3 when I got there (they were in a box by the online pick up guys) I got one and while I was chatting with the sales guy about it (he had a ton of questions) some geek squad came by and swooped up the other 2 to put on reserve for an online order. I was close to not getting mine too...

I went to the 24 hour union square bestbuy the moment I saw you all saying bestbuy had it. I have mine backordered on Amazon so my patience was thin. The guys never hear or saw it before and had to hunt it down for a friend and I. I picked up 3 (my room, living room, girlfriend) and my cruel friend picked up the remaining 7 (wonder why). The workers got hyped by what we told them and said they guess they would pick one up at the next shipment and then a customer walked up and saw then said wow you cleaned house.
Going to try to find one of these today. Going to call ahead first when they open at 10am, hopefully they'll know what I'm talking about. lol.
Bought mine from Best Buy yesterday. Wasn't even on the shelf yet and heard I was the second person to buy one. Got the netflix offer too. I'm loving it.

Just called, and they had none in stock, but said they might be getting 10 in tonight.
Got mine from Best Buy yesterday, just got the code for NetFlix in an email today.
I've been tracking my Nexus 5 for delivery today. And at 3:32pm it was delivered to my home and left at the front door.
At 3:45pm (there's a delay till it shows up on the website) I noticed it was delivered and called home.
Person at home was home since 1pm and I asked them to check the front door, nothing is there, checked the mailbox, nothing is there. Looked around the house, nothing is there!
When I got home, I checked my neighbors, nope, nothing there either
IT'S FREAKING NOT THERE.
I call UPS, they said to call the shipper to initiate investigation.
I asked if they can call the local warehouse to contact the driver, nope can't do that, gotta have the shipper initiate investigation (they used to do this a long time ago).
I call Google and they're forwarding it to Lost / Stolen department. They will investigate and if they find it lost they will disable the device/IMEI and issue me a refund.
No idea how long this will take, when I'll get my money back, and when I'll be able to order another one! It's out of stock for a freaking month!
I'm so pissed. I freaking hate UPS. This isn't the first time they've lost my packages, and hell, I've received other people's packages too from several houses down!
/rant
Update Day 2: Nothing new other than Google confirming the investigation.
It didn't show up magically the next day like others have had happen, but I did order a case for it from Amazon and it shipped 2 Day UPS and it arrived today just fine. Unfortunately I wasn't hope to talk to the driver.
Thought I'd post some screenshots of the emails I've received from Google (POST #47: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=47167296&postcount=47 )
UPDATE 3: Yesterday I put in an order on the Play Store for another Nexus 5, it says 2-3 weeks and today I got shipping confirmation. Maybe the person investigating my case put it through faster?
Shrug, anyways I have this one being shipped to my work.
Still no more word from Google about the investigation yet, hopefully I get a refund.
UPDATE 4: UPDATE: My dad just texted me saying a package from Kentucky arrived early this morning. 3 days after the day it was supposed to be delivered. Tracking info still showed Monday as the delivery date.
I don't know the condition of the package if it was opened or relabled or anything. Will update once I go pick it up.
FINAL UPDATE 5!!!!!!
So, like I said previously, my dad told me when he left this morning at 8:15am for work, this package was magically on the front door.
I came and got it from him and check this out:
The original brown shipping box IS NOT SEALED, there is NO tape securing the box!
I just got my 2nd Nexus 5 delivered to my work today and it definitely has a tape that seals the brown shipping box.
So then I open the brown shipping box and the Nexus 5 box and my receipt is there, I slide open the Nexus 5 box sleeve and look at the white box the phone is in.
I flip it over and the 2 white tape that keeps it closed IS PEELED OFF AND PUT BACK ON! UPS person DEFINITELY opened it up and thought it was a quick score, then maybe someone investigated and he delivered it early in the morning!
The phone looks ok, the original screen protector is still on there and doesn't look molested.
Doesn't matter, I'm going to call Google and return this one, since I the 2nd one I ordered came to work and I've already set that one up.
Crazy few days here and yep, I still hate UPS.

Wow that sucks
I think another guy had his package stolen as well. I guess that's an advantage of living in apartments. There's always someone to sign and keep your packages.
It could have been delivered to someplace other than your immediate neighbors.
I just moved into this house a year ago on the North end of a street and all of my FedEx packages for the first 2-3 months went to the South end of the same street, to the same house number.
Thankfully that neighbor was kind enough to bring them to us - but the point is, who knows. **** happens. You have no way of knowing if UPS is "stealing" your phone.

UPS isn't "stealing" it. Another user on here had his package actually stolen by someone since Google is being cheap and doesn't require a signature.
Lesson learned. Good reason to always ship to work or a mail box at a ups store

I was required to sign for my package.
I hope I have to sign for my package also. And I live in SoCal myself..Specifically San Diego. But it's just sad that people have to do this all to others. Hopefully Google can send you out a replacement device ASAP, if not, the refund.
maybe the person who u live with is hiding it from u
and this is why I pick up expensive packages at the UPS sorting facility downtown
Sorry to hear about your loss nxt Hopefully everything will work out.

I did the same thing:
"As requested, the receiver will pickup at a UPS facility at their convenience. This must be within 5 business days."
Some times they leave them in our garage. Fooled me at least once.
UPS has done this exact same thing to me before but delivered it the next day. So even though it showed delivered at my front door the UPS guy showed up the next day with the package.
Not sure how often this happens but it may be a possibility for you.
This sucks, but is also why I have everything important delivered to my job.
UPS is the only company I know that will leave an item regardless of value or size anywhere.

Wow that sucks
I think another guy had his package stolen as well. I guess that's an advantage of living in apartments. There's always someone to sign and keep your packages.

Depends on the apartment. UPS often parks on the other side of the street of my apartment, waits there a few min. They then update the delivery saying no one was home and then drive off. Hopefully this doesn't happen tomorrow when my phone is supposed to come. It's really annoying.
Lol i have shipped with usps and they stole like 3 packages from me ... after i left the store no further status came up on them they were cell phones i sold on ebay.
So i left an active wireless cam inside to ship i told them specifically to be careful because the package inside was very expensive.
They opened it .... had a battery pack inside and saw all there faces from my car ... recorded. reported, they all got fired. still lost 3 packages.
UPS ran to my front door, put it on the steps, and hit the doorbell and left...luckily I planned to camp the front door all day waiting for them ::silly:
Lost
Same thing happened to me, UPS says the delivered my nexus 5, however no nexus 5 ever was placed on my front door step. I had been waiting all day, never left the house. The worst part is Google says they will blacklist the device then eventually issue me a refund. I have to go through the process and reorder through the play store and wait the 4-6 weeks.

The guy even asked what my last name was.
If google wants they can find who has it because it has the imei number and whoever will use it will have to sign in with gmail account.
