Nokia Lumia 920 is available on 11/9 for purchase

[VagrantWade]

They have to do some sort of pre-order how else will people get the Online only colors?

 

[iphonemilk]

Is this true about the colors ? That's total garbage.

Well they said this a long time ago officially, so yea.

 

[Reflexx]

I was told by my AT&T store that there likely wouldn't be preorders, because the only phone they really do that for is the iPhone.

So people who want a Yellow or Cyan have to wait until after the 9th to get one? The ****?

At this point, I'm so anxious for a phone I'll skip out on cyan if it means I can have one on Friday.

Of course, I have been staring at those red samples in a lot of the reviews and as a Ferrari fan I have to say I'm liking Red just as much.

 

[Russell11]

Yea if I can get red ill be happy but really want cyan matte we will see

I hope this isn't true as well, since I'm already committed to the Cyan color. They better take some pre-orders this week!!

 

[Stadifer]

My preference is Grey or Cyan... Seeing as I can't get Grey my default becomes Cyan. If I have to settle with Black I may do so... if I don't like the look I may holdout for the Cyan model if it isn't available in store.

Since we are currently talking colors, I'll share my thoughts.

I want black. Not because I think it's the best color, it's just that I don't like flashy, stand-out'ish, phones.

But then again, I'm the kind of guy who never puts bumper stickers (or even a license plate frame) on his car. I also don't wear clothing with brand names on it, etc.

I guess I consider a bright-colored phone similar to free advertising for that company.

I'm all about supporting businesses that I like, I'm just not into being a walking advertisement. No offense meant by that comment to those who do like colorful phones, etc. It's just how I am. :dry

I just called a local AT&T. The girl I spoke with said they had nothing in stock and had not been given any information regarding availability other than "it should be soon". Another store will not answer the phone, so I figure they do have them in stock and that porn looks amazing on the new display.

It seems to me like the launch is on Sunday but some people might be able to get it earlier. If that's true perhaps they'll open up online orders on Friday with free 1 day shipping, still getting you the phone before it is technically launched.

Well no shipping carrier delivers on Saturday or Sunday in the US. USPS does Saturday though.

I think AT&T uses FedEx which ships on Saturdays.

Oh sweet. I didn't realize FedEx did Saturday deliveries.

Isn't it a holiday weekend?

So...

I called 2 corporate stores and actually stopped by 4 stores on the way home (AT&T is big on the ATL.. ) - 2 "Corporate" stores, 2 "Authorized Retailers".

First - in order to get information - you HAVE to get a rep to chat with you more than 5 minutes with the typical "I'm not sure" - if you get them on the phone, be cordial and chat with them and get them to "help" you. Same with going to the stores...

Second - Some of the reps (earlier in the day) didn't know any details, however, when asked to please look it up in the system, sure enough, they confirmed the details (listed below), etc. The remaining reps, when you spend the time to actually discuss/chat with them and press them a bit that you want to know further details, actually will stop what they're doing and look up the details or ask their manager, who will also look up the details, and confirm for you...

That being said - the details:

- ALL of the stores confirmed (once they looked it up in the system) that the current launch date is this Friday, 11/9.

- SOME of the stores actually have displays in the back, ready to setup and have had training. Other stores have not (and it was mixed here - i.e. 1 corporate store had everything ready - the other one I visited was a bit surprised that it was being launched as they had heard "nothing" - but sure enough - when she looked it up on their computer - the promotional info/material/details were there (more on that below).

- NONE of the stores were taking pre-orders - but again, were (generally) firm in their stance that they expected it to be released 11/9. Some of the stores indicated that they may possibly open up pre-orders on Thursday but they all also indicated that they typically "don't do pre-orders for any phone other than the iPhone".

- Regarding the promo details (the most interesting part ):

4 of the 6 stores confirmed the following based on the promo (one store rep actually showed me the promo - but wouldn't let me take a picture ... I don't know why.. ):

- Price $99.99 with 2-year Contract
- Comes with a free BLACK "charging plate"
- Colors available are: Matte Black & Cyan, Glossy Red, Yellow, and White
- Not all colors are guaranteed at launch, nor will the stores know which colors they will receive. Reps stated Black would be probably the most commonly available at initial launch.
- Promo dates are from 11/9/2012 through 1/10/2013

The remaining 2 stores, BTW, all but confirmed the $99.99 price - they just didn't want to quote something until they had more details from their manager (which wasn't there in the store).

Of course - NONE of this is official as AT&T hasn't publicly released details yet. Either way - I'll be calling and/or stopping by my main local AT&T store Thursday afternoon/evening to verify if the phone is definitely available Friday and (hopefully) I can pre-order it..

I really hope AT&T reversed course and will have Cyan available in stores...

Pricing similar to what i got, i detailed this earlier in the thread. Out of the five stores, two said 99.99, two didnt know, and one said 199.99 but seemed he just threw that number out there and said it may be available at end of month. I discounted the guy that said 199.99, doesnt seem to care know much at all.

So if 99.99 is the price, that would be killer. I am buying off contract, so i dont benefit, but a nice charging pad would be cool.

I really hope the charging pad isnt for those that enter intoa 2 year contract only.
