Who has pre ordered their Lumia 900

[rokitrod]

I inquired about the pre-orer on-line (without committment) and they told me I had to go to the store. went to a store and they told me I had to go to the "corporate" store at the mall. I went to the mall and when I tried to order with no committment the told me their software wouldn't let them. Naturally they tried to sell me another line or pay to upgrade early.

I went back home and went on-line again and asked why their web site indicated a preorder availability and I just got "i'm sorry". I guess I'll try to stop in when the phones are actually in stock but i'm not very happy that AT&T gave me the "actual" run-around on this.

Has anyone successfully pre-ordered without a committment?

Yes, you can only do it online. At the pre-oder page go like you want to upgrade, it will tell you you are not eligible for upgrade and show you an Iphone...click at the bottom left to See All Phones and the Lumia should be 1 of them allowing you to pre-order without extending

But what if you are eligible for an upgrade but you don't want a contract?

I had SAME experiences NO luck ordering 449 online or in stores.

I tried your sugested upgrade trick, they musta fixed the glitch, i keep getting:

Just go through the website like you're upgrading, select the Lumia 900, and prior to checking out you'll see an option to pay $449 without renewing your contract. It's quite the cluster.

choosing upgrade requires signing in to an at&t account, or registering... which seems to fail. Did you do all that?

i NEVER see this page with an I-phone, and all places where UPGRADE can be selected requires a LOGIN acct next. CAn u give links that WORK please?

 

[jkdood]

yes you have to be signed in to your att account

ahhh OK. Other than a purchasing account for uverse equipment, i have no current AT&T wireless plan (which I DO NOT want) so it will not allow the $449 no-commitment purchase here, or in store, to folks without anye xisting at&t service,

thank you

This is so sad and weird. despite info suggesting otherwise at att.com/lumia, there seems to be NO WAY (YET) to get a $449 no-commitment unit ordered or pre-ordered, even at AT&T corporate stores (i went to 2 and called 3) UNLESS you already have an AT&T account (commitment!!).

This forum has one thread suggesting it is available in the BestBuy system, I just chatted with BestBiy mobile and checked online, NOT TRUE!

Many news articles "report" that the no-commitment $449 version was put on sale days ago. NOT REALLY!!!

Quick question after doing my pre-order. Does anyone know if there is the $25 dollar app promotion card?

Just registered and preordered my Nokia Lumia 900 in blue.

Will be my first non-iphone since 2007. Ya, I am that guy.

Welcome to the WPCentral forums

I ordered mine today in cyan. I had to pay a little more since I'm doing an "early upgrade". I hope I get mine on Friday!

 

[grasshoper]

I join to the list, but since I'm no US citizen I bought it from a UK store on ebay.

I beat you all since the store announce a shipping date between late may/early june

Hope it will arrive waaaay sooner

 

[MechanizedSunrise]

This is the most excited I've been about a phone since my HTC TyTn. Haha.

Now if only I could get a shipment notification from AT&T...

I am 98.5% sure that if you are not an existing At&T customer, you can not become one without signing a two year contract (other than a go phone, which are limited to a few specific handsets) and this is why you cant get the off contract price. Its how they keep people from buying a phone to unlock for use with another carier.

Swinging by the AT&T corporate store in Manassas, VA, to order my L900 this afternoon. Looking forward to the new phone!

Ordered my cyan 900 on Monday. Probably going to replace my Titan (Which I do love).
