Will the G1 be SOLD OUT at Tmobile stores come the 22nd????????

[Technickal]

Will people camp out for this? Im planning on going on release day at Tmobile stores
I mean no matter what it is , esp. a phone something that you will have to stick with for 2 years, I have to get my hands on it before I make a finalize purchase.

What you think

[Jorsher]

Jorsher-damus doesn't think it'll sell out, but nobody here could tell you. Nobody knows the number of phones that will be released on day one, or what size crowd is interested in getting one.

Here's how I see it:
The phone has not had much offline press. The type of people that are interested in this phone are typically going to preorder it. I wouldn't suggest camping out because I don't think it'll be necessary, but it is really determined on how bad you want it. I would just try to be there when the store opens, maybe get there a little early. If possible, you can talk to them the day before and ask how many phones they have received, and how many people have asked about it. I don't watch TV so don't know if T-Mobile is advertising yet, but if they are you would probably want to get there early.

I don't know if camping will be necessary though. It was only necessary for the iphone because of all the media coverage and hype it received. Ultimately, it's your decision, but good luck!

If you need to get your hand on it, just wait. IF it does sells out im sure they will have it available soon after.

I would drive by your t-mobile store the night before it drops just to see if theres a line.

I'm sure T-Mobile will turn up the marketing knob all the way up shortly before the lauch of the G1...then we'll see.

[ROGUE7474]

I found out about the G1 from a TV ad a couple of days ago. Only saw it that once and have not seen it since.

[RussianSolja]

i think there will be a line-up of people waiting for this phone... just like the xbox and the playstation and how can we forget the IPhone... people will camp outside for this phone i know if i aint pre-order it i would be one of thoes people camping outside waiting for hours...

I am not sure if I am correct on this but I possibly heard there are models in 3G stores now that can be looked at and tried out. Can anyone confirm this?

If so drive out to a store play with it and decide if you want to preorder. Just a suggestion.

[Technickal]

whoa any truth to this?

[rawskilz]

it will def not be sold out.

[Big Al]

I dont think it will be, I sure hope it wont since Im not able to pre-order...:(

[rawskilz]

I dont think it will be, I sure hope it wont since Im not able to pre-order...:(
i wish you luck pal

[xxfirerican]

given the recent demand i think people will camp out for it, whats gonna happen is people who preordered will probably camp out to get another to sell on ebay for an inflated price which sucks for everyone else who wants this phone for themselves. dont be greedy people lol

[pinaytoy]

so if it wont sell out in stores then why are people pre-ordering a phone that they would receive on Nov 10th? id just walk in a store and pick one up. ill be getting mine on the 22nd pre-order. but the nov 10th just doesnt make sense to me.

[swaney29]

dnt wrry everything will be ok

[secrecyguy]

To be on the safe side, it's best to get there early and camp out or be there couple of hours early to wait in line for it.

My guess is, it will be sold out and there will be a high demand for it.

Here's my reason for it.

The G1 is only available at a T-mobile stores in the 3G coverage areas and at the stores that is 3 miles away from the coverage areas. That means people will travel from non-3G coverage to 3G coverage to get the phone. So there will be people camping out for it or there will be a long line for it.

On the pre-orders, they sold 3 times as many and more than expected. There was no ads for it yet.

Don't forget about people who will buy the G1 just to sell it on Ebay.

And the holidays are coming! And the ads for the G1 will come soon! So the G1 will be sold out.

[remister]

Freak there's like 5 corporate stores within 15 miles where I live... Wonder how the lines are going to be!

[New World]

I called a local corporate store yesterday to reserve a phone for my friend and they're reserving the phones as of now at that particular store.

They already had 20 people on their list. They said that in all honesty the manager is going to training on the 15th and when he gets back he will then know for sure if they're going to do it based on reservation or a first come first serve basis.

[Oh.Diva]

That's true! I did not even know some people are getting theirs on the 10th of Nov. I thought everyone will get it at the same time on the 22nd.

If you ordered after Oct 3rd. You'll most likely receive it Nov 10th.
