[EVO 4G General] Xenithflare:
I work for Radioshack; our memo instructed us to ask people when they would be available to pick up their preorder, because it would get very hectic with everyone in the store trying to activate all at once. Our stores usually have a max of four registers, and activating and ringing up takes a decent amount of time if it all goes perfect. So it's understandable if some stores took initiative and started setting times instead of asking; a lot of people who've preordered at my store keep saying, "oooohh, I dunno, maybe sometime around noon. I dunno." We only hold the preorders for two days, so it's important to have a date and time in mind so people don't forget.

As for shipments... we honestly have no idea when they're coming in. I hate to be negative, and I'd love to say we'd have it in early (like video stores with new release movies), but... realistically, based on previous history... I'd be surprised if we got the phones on the 4th. We'll see though, hopefully we'll have them early *crosses fingers*

Wrong. If a store sells a phone before its release date, there are fines involved; not to mention Radioshack as a whole could lose the ability to sell Sprint phones. It's a MASSIVE breach of contract, so I would lose that mentality real fast.

Also contractual agreements. We can't sell the phone outright or on 1-year upgrades, under any circumstances. I'm sure if you had an upgrade eligibility on June 1st, they'd let it slide, but in the end that'll depend in individual managers, so ask. That said, we are supposed to be getting more than our preorder total... quite a few more... but I can't reveal how many; suffice to say you'd be okay going in day-of, so long as your eligibility date is June 1st. :P

We design technology because we understand that our customers are different." We can no longer say that we're right and our customers are wrong. We can't build only what we want to build."

"There was a time when it made sense to divide the market with closed technology, and monopolize a divided market, but that's just not an effective strategy any more. In the Internet universe, there are millions of stars - millions of options that have been created through open technology."

[XPERIA X10 General] fm1776:
SE are great at delivering new hardware, we all recognize this. Their problem has always been in the software development and follow through. Every flagship device has been the same story. The P900, P910, P990, X1, X2, and now the X10 is the next to repeat the pattern.

1) Build a ground breaking device

2) Get it to market to help generate revenue, and complete the software side via updates at a time yet to be determined

3) hold off on sending all the software revisions to have a midterm device to send to market and generate more revenue.

4) sell the same device as step 1 with some very minor changes and include all the software that was promised on the device from step 1.

5) Stop supporting the above model and transfer staff to the development of the next product

.

6) Build a brand new ground breaking device to replace the previous ground breaking device and repeat steps 1 - 5.

If you really want to help SE break this dysfunctional pattern, do NOT buy the X10. Instead send an email explaining exactly why you are not buying the first model. Tell SE that you will buy the device the instant the bugs are worked out and the 2.xx is available.

If SE understood that their own customers will not allow SE to take advantage of them any longer, SE will s**t or get off the pot.

What I don't understand is that model after model it is always the same conversation. Either you guys are new to this SE experience or you have a short memory.

In either case it is good to see more people complaining about this failure in customer follow through. Because I do love all my SE phones. But I am growing very tired of this continuing lack of follow through. Plus I am starting to get the idea that maybe, just maybe, SE are taking me for granted.

"Thanks for all your comments. This is the place where we as the Sony Ericsson Developer Program listen to all you developers opinions and your thoughts, we actively encourage open dialougue. Trust me, your voices and opinions are not unheard, this is exactly the dialogue we need."

I'm pretty sure there is a culture war inside Sony, betwen those who want open VS closed products. Several years ago, there was already this war inside Sony between those wanting strong DRM VS those promoting MP3.

The DRM side win, but they lost their customers, so we have help then not to make the same mistake again.

[XPERIA X10 General] fm1776:
I don't understand why anyone would want to ask for the 2.2 when the 2.3 is being engineered to products right now. By the time this device gets the upgrade which is scheduled for November, the 2.3 will already be released on new models with less hardware than the X10.

Plus if you consider SE is always late on their promises the 3.0 might be out before the X10 even gets the 2.1.

I love reading all the posts by people quoting SE promises to release the 2.1 in 4th quarter. Look they also promised a revision in "two weeks time". That was three weeks ago and the new message from this week is they will release this revision in three more weeks time. So just imagine when they say they need 9 MONTH's to release the 2.1 which is already out. I would like to tell you that SE are not the under promise and over deliver company many of you first time SE buyers are trying to make them out to be. They are greedy profiteers that look to do just enough to make sure it doesn't compete in any way with the next model.

Don't any of you own previous SE flagship devices? This is what SE always does. How else do you think SE plans on bringing their midterm device to market? By offering just enough to get you to want to buy the next model. And, SE will not be able to do this if you already have the 2.3.

All users should send an email to SE letting them know that you will not stay with SE if they continue this business model.

Stop being so impetuous and buying the first edition of any SE phone (P900, X1, and X10). Instead, wait for the P990, X2, and X20. And, make sure SE knows why you are waiting. Those of us that have always purchased the first editions (providing the cash flow) only to get left out in the cold so SE can make more money on people who did not accept SE's over promising and waited for the second editions and thus profited from our stupid loyalty.

So my advice, sign and send your petition asking for the 2.3, and make sure the SE knows that if your phone doesn't get it in November that you will stop buying SE devices all together.

To sum it up: If you bought the X10 you are screwed; The only thing you should count on, is for it to get rooted. So you can do what we long term SE customers have always done,,, TAKE CARE OF OURSELVES!
