I have several friends that work at an AT&T Corporate store and they have told me that they have heard the first of the month it will arrive. I think maybe we should just save ourselves the discomfort and just see wtf happens. There are many opinions and everyones anticipating its arrival but what I dont get is given the fact allot of us have awesome devices currently why the constant hysteria?
Its not like were all using razor phones and are waiting to experience windows mobile, or a modified rom, or the wonderful H on our phones, right?
Just my .02 cents but seriously how many times have we seen a post similar to this with a different date/ device name etc...?
I am using a RAZOR and by the time this thing comes out i will be to got damn blind to read that tiny screen after all the back and forth to all the messae boards this is driving me nuts!
Oh BTW

UPDATE: Sorry, we forgot to add this in…We’ve been told the HTC TyTN II, or AT&T 8925 should be launching October 1st on AT&T. Hopefully that will stick.

I would venture to say that is way off , due to the amount of people that do know att reps including myself that already are being told they will have the device there to sell early this month. I am just gonna be content for my 8525 for the time being and just wait to see what happens.
Really though, the third is 4 days away. Don't you think SOMETHING would be made official by now? What is the problem with releasing a date anyway? Where are the ATT project managers on this one? Did AT&T not learn anything from announcing the date of the iPhone over 6 months in advance?

Well frankly I think they are a bunch of assholes but that could be due to me acting like an impatient child LOL. I personally have done online sales for almost a decade and I would say if a hot item was to be released and we gave our potential customers this half assed information, it would be someones job, period. I can appreciate how one company may operate differently from another but I definitely agree with your comment.
Well 08/09/07 is out of the window.
Was told by a customer service rep yesterday (who i have been dealing with for a few years now and is very reliable) that they have had to push it back to late October.
This is due to customers buying the Kaiser from Expansys etc, putting a T-mobile sim in and finding certain processes failing, ie Web n Walk, GPS etc.
So it needs further testing before they release it officially and can support it with no bugs.

Bullsh*t. First off, Kaiser has been released like 2-3 days ago, so how many of such customers are here already with that kind of problems, that T-Mobile could actually carry out 'further investigation'??? Second, I have T-Mobile's SIM card with web'n'walk, and so far no problems noticed! 3G/HSDPA, videocalls, GPS - all works out of the box, without troubles at all.
Personally, I think it's just crap talking. Anyway, even HTC's official press release last week (AFAIR) said that T-Mobile's release is due October...

Works fine, however I was disappointed with free map of London I've downloaded. It covers central London + zones 2, 3, maybe 4 - roughly. It surely doesn't cover Heathrow area, where I live. :/
is the tomtom you get with it a time trial? if so ill stick the version ive got on my vario with my uk and western european maps on it

It's not time limited, both TT and free map. You need to pay extra only when you want to download more maps.
ok well ive got a "fix" for tomtom so ill stick with the version ive got now. well its arrived and charging. just had a quick play with it before i let it charge...it was hard putting it down heh.
Gah you had me worried there
I should receive mine soon, i'll let you know if i have any issues! (on T-mobile as well).
Fingers crossed!

Wont bother next time, but lets wait and see eh.
As for specific issues, she couldn't or wouldn't tell me, but when i asked if it was a data or gps problem she said it involves those processes.
I don't think eva_d was calling bullsh*t on you and your post, but on the T-mobile rep and thier reasons for delaying.

Yes, exactly. Sorry Schooleydoo if you took it wrong.
I was going to wait for Tmobiles branded version, however:
a) T-mobile have made it look like a dogs arse.
b) When i spotted it in stock on device wire, my credit card couldn't resist!
unfortunately / fortunately, i have a safety system for such moments of weekness.
It's called "Wife"
(We would have no money what so ever if this system was not in place.)

I have exactly the same safety system in place, and actually I never believed I'm going to get Kaiser on the very first stock release (in fact, I also was hoping to get Vario III), but well.. let's say my safety system got loose a bit in this case.
T-mobile October release date?
A T-mobile (UK) business customer rep called me today to say that my business contracts are coming up for renewal. When I said I was holding off renewing to wait for the new Vario he said that although he didn't have specific dates it might not be till late October :-( ! And because he didn't have specific details he couldn't even confirm whether there might be a hanset charge (or how much it might be). He did offer to reduce my monthly line rentals by 66% though for an upgrade with no handset so I'm thinking I'll take that and use the £ saved over the contract term to buy an unlocked Kaiser straightaway

I hope it is crap to be honest, but have heard from her again since and have been told i can buy one from phones4u etc now, they will reimburse me but not give any support. However if the phone goes wrong, they will replace it for a T-mobile version next month.

Could you please clarify this? T-mob said you can buy and unbranded Kaiser (though i assume not from phones4u as they dont sell it i think), then they will give you the money for it, and if it goes wrong they will swap it for a branded kaiser???
The order page currently states that the AT&T compatible version is unavailable. Does state temporarily. But has this happened before?
I mistakenly ordered a T-Mobile version but actually really think something malfunctioned in the order process since I clearly clicked the AT&T model and double checked it. The receipt stated the T-Mobile version though and I caught that too late to cancel it before it shipped.
It's going back to Google now. But I am now unable to order the AT&T model. Has this happened before? How long did it take to receive more? I'm curious because they've stated they're closing the web store and I'll be disappointed if I missed out because of a crappy mistake or technical glitch.
Edit: Post on page 2 gives confirmation that they aren't gone yet but are simply out of stock.
wow, that's interesting. its certainly new, as I ordered one thursday and got it today.
Sadly, I don't know if this has happened before though... :-/
-Taylor
This really bites, because I REALLY wanted to buy one today
If anyone knows anything, please do share... I sent off a message through the contact page, so I'll see if they get back to me.
It will be really hard to get one in Canada if they stop selling it...
First I heard of it being unavalible since launch. Could be because they are hashing the inventory getting froyo on shipping phones.
AFAIK google is taking down all N1's minus ones on contract, i heard that from one of the news sites a few weeks ago. Could be wrong tho.
I ordered mine Sunday evening and got it this morning; I hope they're not taking them down yet, I'm definitely enjoying this phone. Just afraid to flash ROMs and brick my phone. >.<
Flashing roms has never bricked an android phone...

It is true. But they will not be taking them down yet. They said they would run the store for a long while yet, until the Nexus One is with carriers and in stores around the world. And still they said they would keep it up a while after even that happens.
Don't worry, the store is not going away for a long time.
hey OP, could you update this when you find out if this is permanent or not?
thanks

What he said.
Now flashing radio or SPL. That can brick your phone.
Yea, once I get solid info I'll update the original post to reflect what I find.
I still plan to order one if they become available as a development device. Was hoping for an AT&T version so I could swap sims with my iPhone and use whichever device fit my needs for the day.
I've been looking in to this as well. My girlfriend went to purchase one this evening after trying playing with mine for a few weeks and they are unavailable. I was aware Google was going to cease selling them online, but their blog post said the would first establish a presence in third-party retail outlets, then pull them from the store. Hopefully this is just a temporary shortage or something and not the end of the at&t Nexus One.
Edit: OP, I just stumbled across the answer to this on the Google Support Forums. A Google employee responded to this question saying they would have more in stock in the next few days. I'd post a link, but I'm too new lol

No worries on posting a link. I'll trust you since it makes sense based on what you said. I figured it was temporary but wanted to see if this was a normal thing or not.
I'll have to pick one up as soon as they become available. Thanks for the heads up

2X.
Frankly, G2x should blow Atrix out of the space.
I think it does!! hopefully they remove lg's UI and keep it stock!! either way, its still better than motoblur!!

Nice
A lot of people are speculating that T-Mobile changed the name to G2X to match the other "G" series phones. The same people have inferred that this means te phone will be stock Android. Hopefully this is the case! I will definitely pick it up.
Currently using the Nexus One and MyTouch 4G, I would jump on this new phone in a heart beat. I hope the LG doesn't have that cheap plastic feel, I enjoy a quality built device, good hardware goes a very long way in the way I choose my phones. The Nexus One to date has the best feeling in your hands, I still use it as my daily phone. HTC builds quality phones, I have sent my N1 back to HTC several times for the screen issue, they fixed it, changed the mother board and many other parts. I wouldn't hesitate to purchase another device from HTC.
now the question is when is the release date?
I heard later this month. I hope so, I am trading out my Nexus S to get the cash together and will be using an iPhone 4 till its released. :-( I plan on getting it on day one.
how does it take to get the unlock code from the website services?
can anyone give me an estimated time for that?
guyz i ll be in us between 12-18 march, hope it ll be released and get the code in very soon, dont want to buy an atrix
News form AndroidAndMe:
http://androidandme.com/2011/03/car...-revive-the-g-series-with-lgs-g2x-optimus-2x/
Awesome that TMo is picking up O2X as their next G-series device.
Hope it will be launched with stock Android - porting that ROM to European device will be a piece of cake!
O2X + stock Gingerbread = total win
Some Tmobile reps over at Tmonews have posted that the LG reps have come to their stores to demo the phone and that is stock android, has 4G and it is fast! Also the release date is supposedly April 20th alongside the G-slate. Heh can't wait to get this.

I made summary of current informations about TMo G2X, visit my blog if you wish to read it
http://mobileboard.blogspot.com/2011/03/more-informations-about-tmobile-g2x.html
I spoke to a Tmo rep yesterday...and probably the first guy who was totally knowledgeable about HD2 and its capabilities and such. I've asked several reps about the G2x and none of them seem to be even remotely aware. But after talkin for a while with this guy, I asked him about the G2x...and he said since I know this much, there's no harm confirming the arrival of the G2x...he said the launch shud be with 3-4 weeks after the launch at UK. More than likely, the speculated April 20th seems plausible. Can't wait!!
Is 4g confirmed? Would really suck if this phone had everything but 4g speeds
This is looking to be an epic phone guys. ??? Mine is already pre-ordered since this morning. Who else is getting this bad boy? What feature's got you most excited?
I'm getting it! Pre-ordering tomorrow through Bell. I'm excited about everything to be honest. I've been strictly with LG the past few years and have been making a ton of themes for it so I'm looking forward to a completely new device and experience...and of course to theme it!
But yeah for exciting features I'd have to say the camera is right up there with the in screen fingerprint scanner. I'm reading conflicting reports though about the ir feature. Some say it works as an it blaster to control a tv and some say it doesn't and just does the facial recognition thing. If it does do the tv function then that will also be something I love!

Mark Bencze in the house! Now you got me even more excited. Yeah man I remember rocking your themes on my LG G7 thinq which was a low key awesome phone btw. But yeah prepare to be amazed if the mate 20 is better than the p20 were in for a treat. I remember finishing work at 5 with 86% battery. That phone was beast. Anyway you give me even more reason to be looking forward to that phone. I always have more than one device so let me know if you need a tester. ?
I called Bell today and they aren't doing pre-orders quite yet. Hopefully they do soon so I can get everything taken care of.
Looks like we're the only 2 Canadians getting this phone[emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

I am on the fence. Given the screen issues that are reported I want to see what batches we get in Canada. Plus lack of getting bootloader unlock (though not a must have) may be the deal-breaker for me... I wonder if the prices on 2 year contracts will be good on Black Friday.
I am also about to order this phone from Fido, however, only concern is the screen.
Not sure how warranty would work, i want to buy the phone (full price).

So far, all the unboxing videos showed an included transparent case. So I would say yes but I ordered one from Amazon just in case. No pun intended. As far as the official ones, did you try Huawei's website?

Those are solid points. As far as the screen issue goes well you have 15 days to return or exchange the phone. If you wait you miss out on the free Huawei watch 2 (if that matters to you.

I pre-ordered mine on the 26th from Rogers, and just called in today to get an update. Nothing in the system yet, but hopefully they're still ready to deliver on the 7th/8th.
I asked what the return policy was, and she did mention I have the 15 days if I change my mind. I recommend all of you to use it like crazy to detect any of the green screen issues early on!
Let's all keep each other posted on when we receive it and if we notice any issues.
Looks like no freebies from Bell which really bothers me. They're the only ones not offering anything when you pre-order. I'm still grabbing one but I'm disappointed they're not offering anything.

Yeah I called a Bell world store and was told the same thing. They said it's for new activations only though aka 2 year deal and I'm buying mine outright so I likely won't get it unless I get lucky. Fingers crossed. Thursday morning I'm grabbing it!
