it's hard to imagine what more can be done with technology pertaining to a phone.. 1080p screen, those high quality speakers and how fast it is.. unless they speed it up and add telepathy throughout the device, it's still hard to imagine the desire for another phone really soon. u see how samsung simply updated to 1080p screen, bigger pixel camera and a little bigger battery with extra software....

manufacturers are at a stand still when it comes to something truly innovative...
[One (M7) General] muayyadf1:
It could be tomorrow for the second batch and today for the first one.
[One (M7) General] PapaRhino:
Next innovation is battery type.

Just got off the phone with Let's Talk to change my Standard shipping to Overnight. Unfortunately, could not get it for free, so my new total was like $668. Anyway, before I hung up, I asked if they got the phones in today. She said yes, and that they would start rolling out today. So, they must have LITERALLY just received them and are packaging/organizing them as we speak. All assumptions though.
[One (M7) General] yokken:
Guys... LetsTalk.com's front page says "FREE OVERNIGHT SHIPPING". Just call them, ask them about that, and ask for a refund for your overnight shipping.
[One (M7) General] stepinmyworld:
yeah.. somethings that lasts a really long time. I think motorola with their slim 3200MAH batter is the droid razr Maxx is very very good technology for a phone
[One (M7) General] greyhulk:
Six months? I doubt I'll last one month before I'm looking for another gadget, possibly a phone (like the GS4). I have it bad.
[One (M7) General] Absolut`:
Doh, calling them back.
[One (M7) General] slackercow:
lol same here. right now the 'perfect' phone is going to be no-compromise nexus device w/ LTE, great camera, more than 8/16gb storage options. maybe motorola's x-phone

edit: but i will not be getting a GS4. after hearing my gs3 and gnote2 start creaking due to the plastic, it's too unsettling to get another phone without something more substantial than plastic in the chassis
[One (M7) General] EggoEspada:
That might be if you purchase a contracted phone for them as someone pointed out earlier.

But plenty of people got free shipping when calling, so doesn't hurt to try n
[One (M7) General] droidiac13:
The phones they got in are locked for Sprint. Those are the ONLY phones being shipped today.

"It appears that we have the phones that are locked for Sprint and those are the orders that are being processed but other than that we do not have any product."

You don't have to believe me, but I'm telling you, this is from a high up source.
[One (M7) General] greyhulk:
My GS4 will most likely be free. I'm only really interested in some of the new camera features. I still think the HTC One is a better overall device.
[One (M7) General] Toaster Strudels:
I just called and the lady (Charlene.. LOL) said that they are receiving stock some time today, for sure, and since there are a lot of orders, some will go out today and some will go out tomorrow, meaning that either you will receive the phone tomorrow or on Monday.

Do you guys know if overnight shipping delivers on Saturdays?
[One (M7) General] SeanBlader:
I thought the same thing last year when I got my Evo, what could they possibly improve?? So they went and improved EVERYTHING!
[One (M7) General] PapaRhino:
Why would they only get Sprint phones in today? How ****ing dumb lol
[One (M7) General] americasteam:
Well, I just ordered again from AT&T. I'll keep the Let's Talk order through this afternoon. If it doesn't ship then it's being cancelled. Getting tired of the circus. I'm sure many here are as well.
[One (M7) General] Absolut`:
Not enough to cancel my order and get a bloated/branded/potentially bootloader-locked phone over a matter of 2-3 day wait.
[One (M7) General] Toaster Strudels:
Lol it's still the 18th.. there isn't much circus. If they ship the phone a day late, that's not surprising considering how many orders were put through for the unlocked/dev editions compared to the AT&T model.
[One (M7) General] daddioj:
or walmart.com preorder a galaxy s4 for 699 no contract lol
[One (M7) General] droidiac13:
I'll wait until December for my One before I order that phone! LOL :p
[One (M7) General] daddioj:
they have the One also. 649 but is att
[One (M7) General] droidiac13:
I'm picking up the AT&T One tomorrow as I put one on hold. So I will at least have that one to use until my Dev Edition shows. Gotta have something to play with this weekend!
[One (M7) General] superchilpil:
If you read what the site days

Expected availability: blah blah date

Below that it states they will ship up to two days after receiving them in stock.

Today is when they get them so they will ship tomorrow
[One (M7) General] Toaster Strudels:
If they ship out on Friday, does that mean we will get it on Saturday with Overnight Shipping?
[One (M7) General] droidiac13:
No. That is the question I asked and posted earlier. I was told we'd get them on Monday. God I hope I'm wrong though.
[One (M7) General] superchilpil:
Honestly I don't know but I would expect the answer to be no

I'm honestly glad I didn't get overnight
[One (M7) General] americasteam:
Nothing wrong with having a backup plan. ;)
[One (M7) General] PapaRhino:
At least the Cruzerlite TPU case I won is being delivered today -_-
[One (M7) General] LoBoxja:
according to UPS Saturday delivery is more expensive than regular Next Day Air so I highly doubt they will ship for Saturday delivery.
[One (M7) General] stepinmyworld:
so i had an issue: I made two orders by accident.. one on the 4/5 for tmobile and one on 4/17.. i requested that they release my money for the 708..the marchant letstalk faxed my bank to release the money and it was released today but i spoke to my bank and asked them to keep the hold active because i wanted to go through with the purchase.. they confirmed they would disregard the fax but now my money is back on my card..

do yall think this will stop my shipment from going out or do you think i'll just be charged again once it's shipped?

im hoping this doesnt affect the order
[One (M7) General] MrBlahBlah:
So I just called Let's talk. The guy said they are getting them in today and will ship tomorrow. Think that makes sense but who knows - these things can slip by a day or two.

I also go the shipping upgraded to overnight, from 2 day, for free. Had to wait awhile on hold but they were pretty nice about it.
[One (M7) General] daywalker191:
Just got of the phone with letstalk people and they updated my shiping to free overnight shipping they won't charge me the 8.59. and they said they are not sure when to ship it probably today or tomorrow
[One (M7) General] daddioj:
:D
[One (M7) General] PapaRhino:
Another confirmation by a rep that they only got Sprint versions in today and Dev editions will be tomorrow.
[One (M7) General] mahesh_9j:
**** Happened :(

i hate sprint.....

What the **** is this ****?! :eek:
[One (M7) General] lkmgfy:
i come from outside us,i have order a htc one about 3days ago,but they cancer the order due to i am using a foreign credit card.i want to know how u guys living outside us manage to get this order ,i can't use my amex card due to billing address not matching. can i got my order cancelled when using visa card.do i need to call htc or let's talk to prove my identition, i find a guy in canada manage to get this pre order by calling htc,though with a lot of trouble.but i really want to get this developer version.thx a lot
[One (M7) General] stepinmyworld:
one thing's for certain: the people at the Samsung Tracking headquaters aren't close to being on the same page.. some say they're shipping today, some day shipping tomorrow and some day 4/23 dates

so i guess we'll truly have to wait and see lol.
[One (M7) General] Vo01985:
I called letstalk again and they didn't want to do overnight shippipng, he said it was being done through HTC or something. So, how are people getting free over night shipping? I want this phone asap.

Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T
[One (M7) General] greyhulk:
Yeah. If this is true, I'm pretty annoyed right now.

I especially love the people who come on here telling people to chill. It's great that they don't care when they receive their devices, but some of us ordered with the understanding that it would ship today and deliver tomorrow and some of us may be out of town next week when it actually arrives.

Honestly, HTC can't afford to drop the ball like this. Apple always delivers on the date preorders are scheduled. HTC needs that kind of consumer confidence. If they were going to drop the ball, maybe they shouldn't have scheduled the release date so close to the weekend where one day translates into three.
[One (M7) General] lkmgfy:
i am from asia, i have the same problem.how do u handle this?i have order a htc one about 3days ago,but they cancer the order due to i am using a foreign credit card.i want to know how u guys living outside us manage to get this order ,i can't use my amex card due to billing address not matching. can i got my order cancelled when using visa card.do i need to call htc or let's talk to prove my identition, i find you manage to get this pre order by calling htc,though with a lot of trouble.but i really want to get this developer version.thx a lot
[One (M7) General] greyhulk:
My guess is, the reps saying they will ship today are talking about the Sprint versions, or aren't aware that those are the ones that came in. If we put together all of the conflicting reports, it looks like Letstalk DID receive some HTC Ones today, but they were Sprint, which will ship today and the rest will be received late tonight or early tomorrow and shipped on the 19th.

Of course, I would love to be wrong about all of this and have my device ship today.

---------- Post added at 08:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:07 PM ----------

It's horrible and vindictive that they gave your order cancer. Is it treatable?
[One (M7) General] crawlgsx:
It is REALLY sad that Apple seems to be the only one able to do this. Samsung, HTC, even Google FAIL at release dates.

I recommend all Android manufacturers just release future phones with "WILL SHIP SOME DAY", that way you at least know what you are getting up front. Perhaps "Will ship when we have one ready to ship to you" or "Phone is guaranteed to come later than whatever date you think it is coming" then at least if they actually DO get their **** together you'll be happy when it comes early/promptly.

[One (M7) General] stepinmyworld:
lmaoooo
[One (M7) General] jolejniczak:
Another confirmation here as well. I was told going out tomorrow.
[One (M7) General] htowngator:
sucks
[One (M7) General] jngtt:
Apple is all about customer satisfaction, that is why apple does great launches. those phones should have been ready to be shipped since Monday, and set to be delivered by Friday.
[One (M7) General] ggabriele3:
yea, having so little control over your supply chain that they ship you Sprint versions when you were expecting Dev versions...is a little amazing.

I mean, did nobody call beforehand? Did Letstalk not have a tracking number? Did they really only find this out when they opened the boxes?

"Hey, just checking in, you sent the Dev versions right? Hello?
[One (M7) General] greyhulk:
This comes to mind, only it would be starring HTC and Letstalk.com. Can someone photoshop that for me?
[One (M7) General] tsekh501:
I'm going on a two-week vacation on Monday, and I was planning to call them today and have it change to overnight shipping. I guess I should just accept that I won't be able to bring my new phone on vacation then.
[One (M7) General] htowngator:
It does blow but what can you do? Cancel? Not really viable if you've waited this long.
[One (M7) General] americasteam:
Has anyone seen the chat option today? I've been checking periodically, but had no luck. Candra must have had a nervous breakdown. :eek:
[One (M7) General] Red5:
Well **** me...
[One (M7) General] aqualadb03:
Yea ive been waiting on tge chat button to appear, has yet to be seen today
[One (M7) General] PapaRhino:
Well, I got my case in the mail. The plus side is, I'm even more hype, it's the perfect size for my small hands, perfect phone size, I mean :D
[One (M7) General] NJGSII:
This.

Calling customer service to complain is futile as well as they really don't have control over anything. Only thing that irks me is that they put up a date on their site they obviously couldn't meet. More or less I have an issue with that rather than waiting til Monday. There are way worse things that could happen than waiting a few extra days for a damn phone. However, after this I'll probably never pre-order a phone through Lets Talk again. Their whole operation reeks of incompetence. And that is something I'm not going to support with my money.
[One (M7) General] jolejniczak:
Same here. Heading out Monday and would love to have this with me. Here's hoping it will ship tomorrow.
[One (M7) General] Napoleon_PhoneApart:
I'm glad you clarified that.
[One (M7) General] americasteam:
^^^Exactly^^^
[One (M7) General] MrBlahBlah:
Well....the upshot is that it means HTC had a couple more days to fix the "gap" issues that has appeared in the early batches of the phone. :D
[One (M7) General] pookguy88:
my guess... won't ship till mid next week; earliest
[One (M7) General] Red5:
Um, no. Its the same phones that we should have gotten today... its just the shipping was messed up. Its not like the phones are still at the warehouse getting redone.
[One (M7) General] americasteam:
I wouldn't bet on it. For all we know these could have the same manufacture dates as the ones being sent from AT&T, but just weren't shipped in time to meet launch.

Here's hoping though. :fingers-crossed:
[One (M7) General] Dartman-x:
Hey Gang -

I have a potential solution for those folks whose phones may be shipping tomorrow (Friday) via overnight and they either: (1) won't be available to get the phone on Monday or (2) are too impatient to wait :p. It's not free however. I just talked to an agent who allowed me to upgrade my previously free overnight service to Saturday delivery at the cost of $29.99. She said that if for some reason it DID go out today and I get it on Friday, they would credit the Saturday delivery charge, and likewise, if it doesn't go out until Monday, they will also credit the charge.

I know it's not a perfect solution, but if you are willing to pay the fee, it should make it more likely to have your new toy for the weekend. I'll post a screenshot of my revised order as proof below ... and if this solution helped you, please give me a "thanks" :cool: !!!
[One (M7) General] Red5:
Well, I might be doing that then.
[One (M7) General] greyhulk:
What number did you call? When I call this number (the one on my order receipt), I get a busy signal or "call cannot be completed".

1-800-570-5385
[One (M7) General] Red5:
So then what the hell does overnight mean if it ships it out Friday and it gets to us on Monday? Overnight should get it to us on Saturday.
[One (M7) General] greyhulk:
UPS defines it as "next business day".

http://www.ups.com/content/us/en/shipping/overnight-delivery.html
[One (M7) General] Napoleon_PhoneApart:
Fedex Standard Overnight is overnight next business day.
[One (M7) General] expertzero1:
Because most of their employees are off on saturday. Its only applicable to business days.

on ups or fedex its extra it states all that junk.

only company that i know that delivers on saturday is ontrac and fedex home delivery (which is equivalent of ups ground)
[One (M7) General] bhyde:
Keep hope alive...my status @ LetsTalk changed to packing and shipping. With overnight delivery
[One (M7) General] NJGSII:
When did you order the phone?
[One (M7) General] daddioj:
I mean I am not cheap by any means. 18 for overnight not bad. but 29 for sat wtf :eek: mean while fedex ground cheapest ever does sat makes no damn sense lol
[One (M7) General] Napoleon_PhoneApart:
Dev model? I'm just clarifying.
[One (M7) General] PapaRhino:
When did you order? Can you screenshot?

Also, letstalk phone support is down right now I think, lunch break? I'm probably going to do the Saturday shipping, I really, REALLY wanted to play with it this weekend.
[One (M7) General] expertzero1:
ok im calling candra and channel or whatever to get on the warehouse floor and start packing!!!
[One (M7) General] Red5:
Well ****, I wanted my new phone to play with this weekend. :mad:
[One (M7) General] NextNexus:
I ordered on day one and I'm still backordered. My hope is all but dead at this point.
[One (M7) General] nullkill:
Hmm...

Mines always said that.
[One (M7) General] Napoleon_PhoneApart:
Yeah - you and about three thousand other geeks. :D
[One (M7) General] Red5:
Mine dosent, it just says Shipping: Overnight.
[One (M7) General] Napoleon_PhoneApart:
I'm sure that'll work. :D

I can see it now:

Tracking number: R212458745875

Expected delivery: 28 Aug.
[One (M7) General] daddioj:
august? lol
[One (M7) General] nullkill:
I AM GOING CRAZY. This is horrible I have work that was supposed to get done today. Anyone want to hazard a guess how much has gotten done???!!! Please HTC LETsTALK give us something not knowing is driving me up the walls. I'm like a damn 4 year old the night before Christmas. 2 people have shipping notices that just makes it worse!!!!
[One (M7) General] bhyde:
April 7th....

But wait, i didnt get the Dev Edition, I have the 32Gb unlocked with evil "T" bands. Not sure if that makes a difference or not.
[One (M7) General] CursiveQ:
anyone else upgrade to saturday delivery? i'm hoping they would upgrade to saturday delivery for free since they dropped the ball.
[One (M7) General] expertzero1:
screenshot pls
[One (M7) General] Napoleon_PhoneApart:
I can see you now...
[One (M7) General] daddioj:
no you will have to pay the full 29 dollars. but if they don't deliver you can get your money back. she offered me free overnight. so I said hell ok. i'll wait until Monday if they go out tomorrow. she refunded me 18 dollars
[One (M7) General] bhyde:
Sorry, I got the 32GB unlocked from HTC...my bad
[One (M7) General] CursiveQ:
i already have free overnight shipping. but i'll be gone next week so i was trying to get it by this weekend :(

---------- Post added at 12:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:56 PM ----------

your 32gb unlocked from htc/letstalk shipped?! can u take a screen shot for us?!
[One (M7) General] daddioj:
you can just call them and pay the 29 dollars
[One (M7) General] stepinmyworld:
Can y'all do me a favor and stop calling that 1800 number so i can call? lol it's been busy for the past half hour .. maybe they're rushing to package orders
[One (M7) General] CursiveQ:
yeah, i'm in class right now. but i plan on doing that when i get out :p
[One (M7) General] daddioj:
theres no busy signals? maybe get a new phone lol
[One (M7) General] greyhulk:
I have tried to call the number on my order as well as the sales numbers they have listed and I can't get through. It's like their whole system is down. Tried from both my desk phone and my cell phone.
[One (M7) General] daddioj:
weird called. went through right away. on hold for only a min or 2
[One (M7) General] eyedrop:
I just got through and give them your order number and switch it to send to me.....

Ok, I kid I kid...
[One (M7) General] bhyde:
My bad on this, I didnt get the Dev Edition, just the 32Gb unlocked. Screeny....http://db.tt/Op1V87KQ
[One (M7) General] crawlgsx:
I ordered the 32GB Unlocked from HTC as well, My order was placed within 15 minutes of it going on sale. Mine still says Backordered.
[One (M7) General] daddioj:
that would be ground for murder lol
[One (M7) General] stepinmyworld:
lol it's a constant busy signal
[One (M7) General] daddioj:
maybe something on ur end. arnt u dialing through some sort of voip
[One (M7) General] nullkill:
Thanks though didn't realize I left that on their it's gone now :p
[One (M7) General] milamas:
I ordered the Dev edition on the 14th and mine says picking and packing too so I dont think that is any indication that youll get it. They really need to update their system to show "backordered" or the real estimated date.
[One (M7) General] daddioj:
when she gave me a refund for overnight shipping. she said they will ship out tomorrow
[One (M7) General] stepinmyworld:
my job's phone.. it was working earlier unless they blocked it lol. o well.. i guess i'll be without a phone for a few more days unless i wake up and suprised to see my status changed to shipped! i may have a heart attack from adrenaline
[One (M7) General] CursiveQ:
but he ordered on the 7th so i assume his had said "Back Ordered" and just changed to ready for fulfillment recently?
[One (M7) General] PapaRhino:
It's not only him, mine did that a few days ago and today just now aswell and I got through fine this morning, their system goes up and down randomly.
[One (M7) General] Napoleon_PhoneApart:
Want one of my nitros? :)
[One (M7) General] droidiac13:
Yes PLEASE!!
[One (M7) General] milamas:
I really hope so. Its not fair that you guys that ordered with time have to wait. I know Im in the second "wave" so I wont even get mad unless they dont ship it by the 23rd. Heres hoping for a Friday delivery for you guys. This is getting ridiculous
[One (M7) General] CursiveQ:
i know! this is a real bummer. i ordered on the 5th about 5 minutes after it went live... :(
[One (M7) General] crawlgsx:
Yeah this will be my last order from LetsTalk. The lack of status updates reminds me of the Nexus 4 order. Ridiculous at best.

My order hasn't changed in over a week, it just shows "backordered" under status with "estimated availability" of today and I placed my order within 15 minutes of it going on sale, people who ordered afterwards get funky status updates. Just terrible, really.
[One (M7) General] daddioj:
there really nice. I wouldn't mind ordering from them again. **** happens not too worried about waiting a few more days
[One (M7) General] crawlgsx:
I could care less how "nice" they are. I want a proper ordering system, factual updates/status, and competence. I'm trying to buy a phone, not make friends.
[One (M7) General] milamas:
First and last order from Letstalk for me. This whole manufacturing and shipping fiasco is really getting old by now. First there was no release window due to manufacturing issues and now it keeps getting pushed back with little information given to customers. HTC and Letstalk really dropped the ball on this release. However I'm really confident that the phone will more than make up for this.
[One (M7) General] stepinmyworld:
I ordered of the 5th.. (HTC ONE Silver - Tmobile) and that was on backorder - tmobile doesnt release their until the 24th and some people may see their order and possible get confused by the htc silver and the dev one because the process if similar for the unlocked 64gig and tmobile

I think ordered the 64gb dev model and at least that one said it would be shipped out today and received tomorrow (friday)
[One (M7) General] daddioj:
that's life. your gonna have to get over it lol. i'll be gaming in the mean time. and getting some fresh air lol :good:
[One (M7) General] NextNexus:
The frustrating aspect is that there has bee NO communication at all. If they're going to ship tomorrow then they really should upgrade every single order to Saturday delivery.
[One (M7) General] crawlgsx:
Sad that you find it acceptable actually. Just because this isn't the worst thing going on in life doesn't mean it isn't ridiculous. This is becoming a VERY common habit for these companies and it needs to stop.

Lies, false advertising, lack of communication, false updates, no updates. yeah, oh well, life goes on, Keep it up Manufacturers.... righhhht.
