MS Store Lumia 1020 Pre-orders

Just got an email stating I would have my phone by August 1st and a $150 towards any future purchase at MS store online. No Joke. Anyone else get an email yet? Guess they heard us.

Thank you for shopping at Microsoft Store

Got this in the email. Guess the slight waiting paid off, $150 off the Lumia was worth it. And also I guess that rep I spoke with was correct in how they are going to be shipping on the 30th.

Xbox One is good place to unload that $150 lol I doubt I will buy that much from them for a long time.
 
Sadly, I do not see many Lumia 1020 accessories on their site. If anyone finds any, please link as well :).

I know physical stores have the camera grip, wireless shell and the wireless charger. At least my local one does :)
 
Yes!!!

I got the email too!

I have to say, the customer service over the phone has been horrendous but the $150 gift card takes a lot of the sting away. Does anyone know if the discount code they provided has an expiration date?

I can't really think of anything else I'd like to buy from the MS Store right now but I'll probably want one of those new Surface 2 tablets when they come out next year.
 
Was going to post here to warn people that MS Store claimed to have the phones in stock. I even called on the phone and asked if it was in stock, and completed the transaction over the phone with a representative. A couple hours later I checked the actual order it stated it was on back order with no ETA.

I'm happy they ended up getting a real date and giving you MS Store credit, but I cancelled my order because of how upset I was. I ended up buying it on Ebay and should get it in a couple of days.
