Okay, we now know that TMO 8320 will be released 9/24. The question now is, how can we get this on that day?? Would local authorized TMO dealers carry this on Monday the 24th? I know many dealers (also from reading this forum) are at times clueless even when other stores have released it.
What are all you TMO getters going to do to get this bad boy in your hands asap on release??
in my past experience with new phone releases, corporate stores refuse to sell new products to existing customers. i have been told that new phone that have just been released are reserved for new activations only. and that if i wanted to purchase it, i needed to go through customer care. any CSR's confirm this, its been about a year since i tried to purchase a newly released phone at a tmobile store.
i usually just end up going to a non-corporate store and purchase it for a little more money then what i would of paid at a corporate tmobile store. i dont want to wait for it to come in the mail.

I hate that.. but I am pretty sure I will be able to get it.
Order it online, or you can call Customer Service and order one.... Or just pop in a local store and get it.... They do not hold them back for new activations only...
Several stores here in the wilds of northern New Jersey said they will have them in stock by the 24th. T-Mobile stores here open on weekdays at 10:00 AM, so a brief campout in the parking lot, complete with coffee and bagels, may be in order.
I hope TMO will not charge me $600 for this bad boy. I already got $300 saved up and I will be selling my curve for $200 next week to my coworker. I'm also hoping I will have this badboy on my hand on Sept24th.
i am just gonna be a lazy bastard, call CS on the 24th, order it, and get express shipping, they claim it takes 2-3 business days, but yeah, its always next day, fine with me seeing as how my company pays the bills
