Any stores have their ROKR E-1 handsets yet? Anyone have the launch materials yet?

My phones are due in tomorrow and 2 are already sold.

Jon,

I got my launch materials and dummy yesterday. My phone will not be here until Monday. Probably not too much for a desire for it where I am at. Plus a cost of $300+ is no good.

How many were you allowed to order? I could only order 4. At a $100 subsidy I am only offering the $249 price if they do a tier 4 or 5 plan with features. So far the two I presold already wanted loaded plans anyways.

We got our launch materials yesterday, but my store doesn't get to order until Wednesday. We've got a store with an order day on Monday ordering ours for us so they'll get here before NEXT Monday.

lol, wow... they sold it to you for the wrong price. It should be $249.99 with the data rebate and $269.99 without. Congrats though.

well our Cingular retail store by 47th street in manhatten recieved the materials wednesday and the phones themselves arrived yesterday. I think it sucks employees are forbidden to buy this phone for a month. I still can't belive they didn't advertise this phone sooner. The good news was the announcement to employees this morning that the Push to Talk phones are to be released october 13th.

Are you a corporate store or an Agent? The three of us are agents in Texas and the phone wasn't even available for us to order until after the release. My company didn't have the SKU until about 3pm yesterday.

They botched it alright for Agents. Most COR stores got them in and left Agents behind on it.

Plus the price range for this with these new compensation prices are ridiculous.
