Those who ordered the L920 from AT&T in Yellow

[RTGOD]

Ordered a cyan on and a yellow one on 11/9 around 8:00 PM (EST). My cyan one arrived on 11/13, and my gf's yellow one shipped on Friday 11/23 and due to arrive today via FEDEX. My charging plate has shipped on 11/23 as well, but is not scheduled to arrive until Wednesday 11/28 via UPS. My gf charging plate has not shipped yet.

Side note: I went into the AT&T corporate store on Friday to see if they would honor that Black Friday sale, but that sale was regional so they could not. What I did take advantage of though was a $50 off $100 accessory sale that they had when you bought a phone. I spoke to the manager and even though I purchased my phones on 11/9, he gave me the sale. I picked up a wireless stand and car charger, $69 + $30, the rep gave me 20% off and the manager is going to credit my 1st bill the $50! What a great deal!

Is anyone left that ordered around the 10-13th that is still stuck in processing?

Yes. I ordered on the 9th. Still no news.

Ordered on the 13th processed on the 14th nothing yet. Unbelievably frustrating. ATT isn't even willing to compensate for this headache. How can there be absolutely no information on a ship date?

I was told by a CSR supervisor that an email went out internally saying no yellow until Dec. 2 Was told from a Microsoft Store manager there were production problems with Nokia and the yellow. Seems like the yellow color is getting mailed out every day as written on this forum.

It's out for delivery. Hopefully I'll get to try it out when I get home from work!

Yay! Finally!!! Maybe I'll get to play mine when I get home in 2013

Mine is out for delivery as well. Now I'll have to see for myself what the battery life is going to be. Since mine shipped on the 21st my 14 day trial period is considerably truncated. I'm hopeful things will work out. Fingers crossed and waiting for the sound of that FedEx truck ...

It's activation time. See you all on the other side!

Doesn't your 14 trial start at activation? It should!

I preordered my Yellow phone and got it on 11/16. The battery dies very fast, but I'm sure Nokia will push an update out like they did with the 800. Still no word on the charger :unhappysweat:

I wish it did but alas it does not. It starts on the day it shipped. So, apparently while my phone sat in cargo and flew around the country AT&T had the clock running. No matter how I pleaded my case AT&T cooperate is very strict and firm on that. I think it should begin upon delivery confirmation. But oh well...

I just got it setup and activated. I'm letting it charge now. I happened to get the wireless charging stand about 30 minutes before FedEx got here via USPS. I'm going to let it go to 100% then roll the dice. Hopefully I'll next post in a 'Happy Camper Thread' soon.

I have to pick mine up from the store. Would that still come under "shipped date" scenario? Where's that thread though?

 

[mlm1950]

So people are on the clock for their trial period whilst waiting for their phone to be delivered? Good grief.

 

[Reflexx]

Just got off the phone again. They covered the full bill-but that didn't make my order ship.

Geez. Soon they'll be giving you AT&T stock.

The wording on the contract is odd:

Within the first 14 days after service activation, you may terminate your Agreement for any reason and not be required to pay an ETF. If you terminate within three (3) days of accepting the Agreement, AT&T will refund your activation fee, if any

For avoiding the ETF, it says the clock starts running after activation, but for getting a refund of the activation fee, the clock seems starts running when you accept the agreement.

Little more neon-ish than I remember. Not the yellow I was hoping/expecting. Or is it just the fluorescent lighting??

I finally got my hands on the YL920 after.... 16 days. I did not get it activated in the store though as I wanted to get setup it up while using the iP4 as my primary phone (might change my opinion once I get started).

I had checked the phone for the top-center, top-right, phone-rattle and any other physical hardware issues that popped up in the forum.

Anyway, hang in there guys. I hope there will be something to be thankful about after the thanksgiving at least.

What are those writings? Is that an overlay you peel off and throw away?
