Have you pre-ordered yet?

By David Beren October 3, 2008 7:54 pm EST Comments (126)

For those of who were lucky enough to get your orders in by noon today, you are among the first who will experience the G1, that much we already knew. If you failed to make that deadline and for some reason you just weren’t able to pull the trigger on the order yet, you will have some extra time to consider what took you so long! Pre-orders placed after noon today PDT, will have an expected delivery date of November 10th. That’s right, more than two weeks later than the rest. Which begs the question, what happens to those who were hoping to get their grubby paws on one first via a retail store? Will they still be available for order to those in 2G areas? This leaves a lot of unanswered questions about what will happen after the 22nd and most important to me, where is my white G1??

UPDATE: Gizmodo is reporting that this change in dates comes even after T-mobile tripled the amount of phones available for the first run of pre-sale orders. Of course the exact number of phones available for pre-sale are under wraps.

Preordered mine on the 28th of Sept. T-Mobile says my order is still processing. Is this normal? Or did I miss the magic time and date?

why is my comment still awaiting moderation?

I know that some of you may be really confued about the preordering. the truth is that a lot of internal employees are just as confused as you. first when you process an exchange or an upgrade you only have 1 hour to cancel order. second if you don’t like the phone you still have the 2 weeks buyers remorse period. third I don’t know if they get shipped on the 22nd or they are delivered. fourth it is a known issue that u can order multiple phones on one single line and they are working on a resolution. only one upgrade is honored. @ hammer I know what’s going on. when the website does not work properly; in your case an upgrade, your information in forwarded to one of tmo offline engineer. that is called a helpdesk ticket. this takes up to 5 days to be reviewed ONLY. when customer care tells you they don’t know, its because they don’t know. Just get your helpdesk ticket number next time. Im sorry that its not working properly but I can assure you tmo goal is to keep you happy. nothing is perfect (but god to you religious folk). I myself am looking forward to this phone. im not expecting this phone to be godlike but its definitely something different. the phone is smaller than I expected. weird. also a lot of phones support bigger memory cards than users manual recommendation. tmo nor the manufacturer can guarantee that they will work. I can put a 4 gig on my wing and it works just fine. to those of you that did not get the condirmation message; its not a big deal. as long as confirm with cust care that it was processed. you might even get your order id number. its the number that begins with a 14. there is no point though because that is for internal purposes only. your tracking number is your mobile number with dashes!! and to all a good night.

I’m a T-Mobile customer but I want to pay the #399 instead of renewing my contract by 2 years. Why can’t I pre-order? Gah I want to get my G1 on the first day, not a month later.

@Roll Tide:
Cool! I was starting to wonder if I was the only person from the state that was excited about the G1!

Roll Tide, btw!
joshc08

ok i think i might have a nervous breakdown, i never even received a confirmation text or email. so does that mean that i didnt order this damn phone ooooooo i will raise some hell with tmobile if i dont get this phone when i was suppose too
drivethruboy168

To the person who asked if there are special 3G sim cards, for the loyal tmo users that have benn here for years, you might need to upgrade your sim as well as your phone. I was told that the new sim cards that have been given with the new phones with R020 on the card are the ones that will support the 3G data transfer for 3G phones. I already for a new sim for my phone, even though I’ll have my curve until they let employees buy the phone, but atleast you guys know so you can get prepared for when the ups guys comes knockin on your front door. But I got some confirmation on tmo getting the t919! Can’t name the source but I’d's definitly comin!
Roll Tide

Im with u, soooo ready to get my phone. Lol
incrediboi

@drivethru…well since I been with tmobile I had the same sim card from 6 years ago…if we needed a 3gsimcard…will they give us a new one in the g1 phone we order? Or we gotta fork out extra dough for this…
mvb757

@datchyk I GUESS they give me a partical agreement…. B/C when I seen how much it would be it was 299 plus 35$ for the data plan. But I really hope the white G1 comes out the 2nd! But if it doesn’t ill get the brown one. BLACK IS SO PLAIN! OPEN IT N GET SOMETHIN DIFF!!
nontmobileite

They extended it to 5:30 pm PST

if you’re worrying about your order being sent or not, just call cust care and see if your order was placed

Man, I’m pissed! Fortunately, or unfortunately, I’m not a spur-of-the-moment kind of guy. I’ve been batting this pre-order back and forth in my mind since day 1 and finally realized how I could justify the purchase while laying in bed this morning. Got up, went straight to the computer and to tmonews to see if anything had happened overnight and “BAM!!” the pre-order, Oct-22 ship is over! Well, no reason to pre-order anymore. No way am I going to commit to a Nov 10 (at the earliest) delivery when I have the potential of going down to the store and picking one up on Oct 22. And if I can’t get it for $179 then, well, it just might be voice-only service for the rest of my days (I don’t even do text messaging now). I bought a pre-paid cell for my daughter a couple of months ago directly from the t-mobile web site and it arrived in two days. Two days! Nov 10th (at the earliest). Bah!!

i am a tmobile customer but i did not pre order is the phone comign out on october 22nd? will i be abe to walk into a new york city store and buy one on that date?
mrjlwilliams

Wow. This is getting deep! Of course I am happy for all that ordered on time, but I think that TMo will work things out. They are doing really good on this, and there is no BIG advertising for it yet. They are going to take over the market with this phone, and many more to come. As far as my color, don’t like white, black is plain and boring, BROWN BABY…G1 BROWN BABY…ALL DAY!!! Where are the brown G1′s at? Holla back…
