-------------------------------------
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 -_-;;

 

[Fuzzy13]

October 12th

$499

Reason? Because Im awesome like that and I got mindz powerz

 

[akikhia]

the 11th according to stores if not this thurs next thurs
price will be 450 for 16gb

 

[pcgamer]

October 19th, 2012. $459 with possible rebate along the way. Although the buy 2 get $50 off will be gone by then. (Reason) My guesses usually wrong.

 

[mrpnut]

Oct 5 th for $499

 

[trigger1074]

11th and 499$ and just because I work in a store doesn't mean I have knowledge. so If Im right..its purely luck.

[mrpnut]

[storm21]

I came across this on you tube today

I like the second theory on the date. Seems more reasonable.

If you look at the rules now, they just extended the sweepstakes another week... now it starts Oct. 3 and ends Oct. 9.. Drawings are Oct. 10.

do we have to register again

yeah i just saw that but that doesnt mean the phone is being released on that date, so im hoping its still being release this week

do we have to register again

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
