Talk about pain in the arse with AT&T. I originally pre-ordered on ATT with premiere early this morning because the MS Store wasn't taking pre-orders at the time. I came home from work and noticed the MS Store was taking pre-orders and I wanted the free grip thing. So I canceled my pre-order with ATT and lo-n behold, ATT never reset my upgrade status. I called ATT, they reset the upgrade and went over to order from the MS Store. Basically, ATT had trouble verifying my account -_____- Anyway after 2 hours of patience and talking to ATT, I finally got my order to go through the MS Store! yay!
Anyway, the customer support lady said (not sure if it was automated or not?) that this phone was very "popular" so they would ship out the phone whenever they received them. -Hopefully it won't take weeks like the 920 did.
Edit: Did anyone notice a price difference between ATT and the MS Store when upgrading?
Not to be a hater (I bought the phone, so I'm clearly a fan), but this phone will not be THAT popular. It will sell okay, but it's not a GS4 or an iPhone. They should have no trouble with stock unless they're trying to create artificial hype or they simply don't have good supply channels.
I have a feeling AT&T orders will get priority. I was tempted to stay with my order with them, but there was too much BS with "upgrades" and not simply being able to order it unlocked.
There is a $50 price difference, but in my case it's a no tax vs tax situation, so it evens out. I actually pay less through MS because they don't charge me sales tax.
