-------------------------------------
My Guess
Release Date
October 22nd
Price
$500.00
Reason
Well, I don't think it release date will be sometime early October.. then they would actually published exact DATE. I think it will be late October and 22 seems to be a good number
For the price, $500 seems to be a reasonable price that people will pay max.. but I am worried that Lightray is already $450 -_-;;
this is what i'm trying to tell people too...my guess is that some locations will get the phone first but today i called 3 dealers making the total of 5 now and they all saying the 4th for 500....could so may dealers around orlando be wrong?.....i really dont think so

yes do it again lol
I still say that if it was going to be released this week, it would have already been put on order and sales reps would already at least know that. No one in the Atlanta market knows anything nor do they have a guess.
Im going to say since they extended the drawing, that the release will be the 12th, which I think was said originally. Why? Being that it's a Friday, it's 2 days after the drawings results day and it's a week and a half a way THUS the time to put the orders in hasn't closed.
I think thats a logical insight but then again who knows.
Some of these guys need to calm down, they gonna have a heart attack talking about how MAD they are cause Metro wont give a release date that THEY dont even know. lmao. I got bills to pay and a hard life just like the rest of the world, so people need to get mad about legitiment things. Aint that right Pnizzle? lol
lol dang lol oh well...i call them today and now they saying they dont know...only one say tomorrow at this time....but i am not even going to rush it...when its here its here...i might just buy it off the web and wait for it to be ship to me lol
y'all are wrong. The device is ALREADY released!
I already got mine... I'll post pictures in just a bit
Woot, woot, woot!
Price was wrong though... It came out to $534
Well... that's after taxes. but hey, it's a start, no?

Exactly.
And my SGS3, unlike the ones that will be released on Friday the 12th for $500 will NOT have any hiccup when T-mobilePCS shuts down the CDMA network in 2015 :P

Ref; the Photoshop pic above.
I saw a Nokia just like that in my own junk drawer the other day and one just like it in my parents junk drawer last I was at their house. They sure sold a buttload of 'em.
I'd say the best phone ever for it's time was the Motie Razr. (The Mighty Raazoo!) I would almost bet money Motie sold more units of those than any other phone ever. I had one I beat senseless it and never missed a beat. It would make calls with no bars showing. I GAVE it to someone as B/U just a year ago who was still using a Raazoo.
That's my .02
[EDIT; Razr was largest selling clam fold phone. 130 mil.]

My guess is tomorrow for release on the website. I talked to a rep in a store in Irving, TX today and she sauteed that they should have the phones next week sometime, but that it'll be on the Web site tomorrow.

Don't really think a lady in TX is going to know when and what metro is gonna have on their website.. just being realistic... but any ways hope you're right and we'll know tomorrow...
