Just got off the phone with T-Mobile store...

I am on a waiting list but I was told they would not hold a phone for me. The waiting list is being used to notify us of any updates. They're supposed to call me up and let me know when the units have arrived and to let me know how many they'll have available.

I think I heard somewhere that it was against company policy to hold phones for anyone on a waiting list.

yea i couldnt get the 179 price also online gotta go in store. So i hope i land one next week

I tried pre-ordering, but I would have had to pay the $299 price instead of the $179. The guy on the phone told me I was really close to being at the 22 month point, so he said he would make a note on my account that I would be eligible for the $179 price....but only if I went to a store and bought it on the 22nd!!!

Believe me, if I would have been able to pre-order it, I would have. Just didn't want to spend an extra $120.

I've got my name on three different waiting lists, so if the one I mentioned before falls through, I've got two other stores to bank on.

Isn't it great how every rep has a different set of rules and policies and through a number of threads we've learned that we all get treated differently, regarding everything from phone pre-order, to contract re-up, to freebies etc..?

from what ive been able to gather certain stores are doing it differently.. this directly competes with what two store managers have told me

Yeah, I'm just going to wait for this T-Mobile employee to call me. They said they would call "a few days before launch", so if they don't call me by Monday to tell me when to come in, I'll just call them back.

Now the REAL countdown begins. 7 days....

The T-mobile stores around me are not holding a waiting list. Also, the representative said they only had black and brown G1's. Does anyone know if the white one is just being released at certain locations?

[almightyA]

that would be my guess, probably certain stores in G1 areas.

Yesterday when i was at the store...the rep told me that the white one wont becoming out till November, that probably means the next shipment. Im not gonna lie but the brown dont look so ugly.

I'm in the same boat I can not pre order, I was told I have to call customer service on the 22nd

My T-Mo store said they will have white on the 22nd.
