Gang,
I just got back from my AT&T store here in the Dallas area. They have 12-15 phones in stock and the manager said they will start selling them tomorrow beginning at 12:00pm local time.
You may want to call/stop by your stores and see what they say.
I wil be there when the store opens and if I manage to get one I'll let you know!
Which Dallas store. I'm in the Dallas area.

Flower Mound location, but you will have to fight me to be the first in the store tomorrow at noon!
Lol. If there are 12-15 sounds like plenty for the 2 of us

Not that I'm not hoping for a release tomorrow, but my local store and the nearest corporate store(about 2hrs from me) both said the 6th

I'm curious, can AT&T "authorized retailer" stores also receive HOX shipments earlier than May 6th? If so, I feel that this would be a much better way to convince someone to sell me one early...
I called all my local stores...6th.

Well, I've been calling around today. I did find a local "Authorized Retailer" that said they were getting their shipment in this Monday and were selling them. I even asked twice just to make sure. Giving them a call Monday morning to confirm. If so, I will do my best to grab one early.
I just got back form my local AT&T store to play with the One X and ask when they were going to start selling it. They already have the stock but are going to sell it on the 6th... but anyway, the One X is probably the most capable phone I've ever used.
It's a shame, my stores is one of the ones that follows the rules... Lol. So they're selling on the 6th.
I pre ordered though, so it's just a few more days, but I was still hoping to cancel it and buy it tomorrow, haha.
Haha yeah i think my store also follow the rules. I also pre ordered mine but through Amazon Wireless to save so major dough because I live in CA. Supposed to get it on the 9th . I hope I get it earlier though, but who doesn't lol. I can't stop thinking about this thing!! I probably shouldn't have gone and played with it today because it just makes me so much more impatient..
Did any of you who talked to a store with them in stock pre-order through that same store? I am curious if they would let one go early if you had already paid for it...

Just called my local store - they won't tell me if they already have any in stock. They just keep saying you can pre-order now or buy in store on May 6th...
To answer your question, I pre ordered through Amazon Wireless, but either way, I don't think they would have let one go just for me....
the sales person in the corporate store said they will be getting shipment on Sunday, i asked if i can get one by pre ordering, he said that i wont need to, just walk in, : D
The people getting it early are so lucky! Often times, employees get threatened with facing some consequences for selling the phone before release. But others just want a commission.
The Galaxy S III is just around the corner. Why pick up the One X early instead of seeing what Samsung has produced?
How do you know if a store is corporate or not?

So I was unfortunately unable to preorder this phone, but I'm definitely planning on getting it. Each day I have to wait is getting longer and longer and was wondering if anyone here managed to pick one up in the store today/has called a store to see if they can get one a day early on Saturday (I already badgered them enough earlier this week that I'm ashamed to call them again). Would be very awesome as Sundays don't leave me much time to play around with it
It really depends on the stores in your area. Some people have gotten theirs from in-store already. I would doubt at this point that you would be able to get one a day early but you never know. I know that Target (where I'm getting mine) won't even have theirs until Sunday.
Both radioshacks that I preordered at has em in stock, but they can't sell em to me until Sunday.
Costco is selling them now. 189...

I would go ask some other stores like Best Buy or Radioshack, but I need to exchange my Lumia (30 day exchange thing), which I'm assuming can only be done at AT&T

Radioshack systems won't let them checkout the One X until the 6th(i tried three different ones and talked to a manager). Bestbuy WILL let them checkout, just gotta find someone willing to sell it. I don't know about Costco, I might try them tomorrow. None of the AT&T corporate stores I went to even hesitated before saying they can't sell until Sunday.

Dang, thanks though. I would go to Best Buy, but like I said, I doubt they would do the exchange.
I have talked to 3 att corp stores, 3 reps all said they "would loose there jobs if they sold it before sunday"
I guess I will just hunker down and wait till sunday morning and hope they dont sell out.

I walked I to an AT&T store today and just asked to buy it and they said sure.
However, I got home and the device wasn't wrapped in plastic and when I booted it up there was someone else's account on it.
Someone at the store must have been using it and it was the only one at this store. Called every other store on the area to swap and nobody will do a swap until Monday

Something sounds very fishy about this. We get shipments of 10x of a single device at a time (usually)
Each box contains about 5 phones of that color / capacity.
Display unit maybe?
The salesman told me to call back tomorrow to see I'd their shipment arrived in and he would swap it out.

Display units can't be sold out of inventory.
I'll bet anything it was just an employee that got on it and starting screwing around with it.
Watch them lie about it though.

Does costco let you buy the phone outright? If so how much is it? I know that ATT site says 549 but lots of times the third party retailers sell the phone for 599 or 699.

Nope. They (wireless advocates) only sell
the phones for new, add a, or upgrade lines.

you're welcome, from your AT&T S5 neighbor!:good:
Just bought my VZ GS5 at Best Buy this morning. I saw this offer on the Cotsco website and talked to the BB manager. They agreed to price match this offer by taking $100 off the phone. I coupled that with the $50 upgrade credit I registered with BB for in February and walked out with a $50 SG5.

Argh!!! I had to go through the Verizon help center agent, and she did try to help me by referring me to Best Buy and using their online purchasing system. I live 40 miles north of Tulsa and "running into the local cellphone store" is not on the bucket list.
guess I will have to be glad that all of the upgrade fees were revoked, Best Buy gave me a value card towards future purchase.... Didn't match your deal, but better than going online at Verizon.

its a little trickier... they will only charge you the "sale" price but they also tax you on the sub price so tax is over 50 bucks.
just order it online.. est delivery for May 1 ..I also ordered one on Amazon but its est is for Jun... lets see who wins

I cancelled the Costco order because the Amazon order shipped and arrived already.. both had the same price.
if you don't want to wait I would look and see if Amazon still has them in stock.

Have they just not received any stock? or do they keep selling out? If they keep selling out I am sure there is someway to wait list yourself for the next shipment. I think they are just running low inventories for some reason even amazon is showing out of stock.

Your better off trying a sprint or AT&T store...
Has anyone had any luck ordering one online from Best Buy or even directly from Samsung?
Best buy mobile has them as well. But amazon has them... watch out tho they randomly like to charge a little more than asking price. Its shipped by Amazon (prime) but sold by 3rd party.
the att stores should have them...
I got mine from AT&T. Amazon Prime is your best bet.
My black neo came from best buy online sight unseen.

Best buy online
I just ordered mine from bestbuy.com Should be delivered tomorrow (extra $14.00 for shipping)
I was browsing amazon looking to see if any were in stock the metallic orange said in stock cancelled the silver/black and ordered it says estimated delivery date of 4-22 as soon as i placed the order though i went back a few mins laters says out of stock on the metallic/orange so im not counting on it to be here the 22nd

I pre-ordered about 2 weeks ago with AT&T and they had shipping dates of April 8, but then the Gold/Browns were all delayed until April 30. Try a black if you want to get it quicker, but I have black Galaxy Gear 1 and want new color.
Well my delimma is, I was originally going to order the black/silver from at&t. went to the website had everything ready hit the order button and it errored out said I can't because there isn't any service for my zip code. Must be because I live in the middle of no where

At&t is running a promotion if you order 3 accessories you get 25% off. The watch is included. I already had mine but got the difference refunded from bestbuy because of this. Either way go to https://www.att.com/shop/wireless/accessories/accessorieslist.html Order the watch you want and two $5 items and you will get the watch for $225. It works so even if they are slow to get back in stock it's worth the $75 savings. Otherwise keep checking at BB and show tjis website and they should price match.:good:
Hello everybody. Want to share my experience for anybody that pre-ordered their v20 through AT&T and was planning on getting their $200 trade in credit. Just got back from AT&T store and process was pretty simple. I took in a old iphone they checked it out, asked for my v20 imei, then they gave me an instant $200 credit in my bill. They also said I could've used the credit instantly to buy accessories at the store, or wait to get some type of card that I could use later.

also, has anyone searched and found a cheap burner (pre-paid phone) that can be used as a trade in? T-Mobile guys were using a Pixie4 or something, $20 at WalMart but ATT values it as a big ZERO!

You don't have to go in store, but I believe its easier and quicker. You don't need an email to go get credit in store. Just tell them you pre-ordered and are there for the credit. I couldn't find a cheap prepaid phone to turn in. The cheapest I found was a AT&T iphone 4 on eBay for $50, that AT&T valued at $5 trade in credit.

I don't know if it's the same at every store, but the rep usually gets some form of commission on accessories.
So that would probably explain it.

My local AT&T store said I had to use all $200 on accessories in store and seemed shocked that I chose to keep the phone instead of trading it for a bunch of accessories I didn't want or need. Kind of like they always act so shocked that I never want the cheapo tablet offers that will cost me $10 a month for 2 years.
