It doesn't show as backordered anymore at Negri website. Nothing changed on my order status (processing)

I'll have to see where things go with welectronics and local stores to see if I want to spend the extra 100 bucks,
But thanks though! I noticed that earlier today too

I'm not sure what your carrier situation is there, but in my not-so-humble opinion there is no way I would sacrifice LTE for $100. When the Nexus 4 came out, I sacrificed LTE for it and saved about $300 over another competing phone and it still wasn't worth it for me due to the difference in HSPA+ and LTE around here in California. That's just my situation and yours might be different, but I'll add a heavy vote for going with the LTE model. I do not think you'll be sorry.

​Then again, I've always been good at helping people spend their money

To those people who have this device, what case are you using now? Does it have the same thickness with the At&t version? Can you use the same case that are available from At&t store? Thanks!

Same form factor. I'm using the Poetic case which fit both devices equally well.

Thanks Collin.. I don't know when im getting my device. The store (Negril) is not very helpful. The item went back out of stock from their website and they don't know when they are going to fix their shipment issues. They advised me to cancel my order for the mean time. Not a good impression for a first time customer. Tsk..tsk.

That's very unfortunate and I'm sorry to hear that. My experience was pretty good and it arrived sooner than expected with a free upgrade to Express.

The underlying trend is that they just don't have it together from a customer support perspective. The only responses are typically via "chat." The is useless, as was the email communication I attempted.

I wish you the best of luck. The phone is worth the way. Why can't we find it anywhere else? I have no idea where Negri gets these from.

Absolutely worth the wait for those who want a non-neutered windows/ATT phone. First phone i've been 'happy' with since my note 2. (lg g pro, note 3, g2, nexus 5 all good phones, guess im just tired of Android)

$100 doesn't seem so bad for an LTE enabled phone [which barely anyone else will have in Canada].
welectronics refunded my order and apologized, stating the UK was a RM937 model only.

According to speedtest.net app I was able to achieve 8-14mb/s on 4G/HSPA+ on my UK Lumia 920.
I'm pretty happy with these speeds, but if I could get a phone with LTE I figured why not? I never owned an LTE enabled phone and always wondered what it would be like to own and use one.

Thanks for finding these. Soooo glad I waited. Now just a little longer until they're back in stock!!

Thanks guys for the words of courage. I will wait for a bit and not cancel my request.

Did you order from Negri?

 

[Rhoyz]

This device is now discontinued according to Negri's site. You guys are lucky! Hold on to that Unicorn.

Didn't order it yet...it was on backorder by the time I saw the thread. Just glad to know the unicorn exists!!

 

[HighDefEdition]

It was showing as discontinued earlier today. I hope I don't regret waiting too long before ordering.

I emailed them the moment it was first discovered to have been 'discontinued'. Negri says it will not be discontinued. But they cannot guarantee when they will get more shipment.

 

[fulnix]

The more important win is that it even exists!
