I GOT MINE!!! :D :D :D

I picked it up from my local Radio Shack in Hammond, IN. (via my online order) this afternoon around 2pm (ct). I did the online activation with the phone number porting option. I just got off the phone with Virgin Mobile, as they talked to Boost to get my account info in order for me to keep my current number. By 9:30p (ct) or so, the transfer should be complete!!! :)

Mine is also sprint branded. I for one am happy, i dont like VMs label :P But the phone is awesome, just dissapointed I cannot find 4g anywhere at all... I at least wanted to test it. And as for the 3g pictures/videos... eh... gives me a headache to look at.

Beats the triumph by miles. Haven't tried the GPS yet, but im pretty sure it works, unlike the triumph, hah.

GPS is instant lock.. my MT took up to 5 min. to lock on
 
I got mine yesterday, i just called a few radio shacks and finally the 5th store ( luckily it was only 4 miles away lol) they had only two in stock. immediately i told them to reserve it for me I'll be on my way lol. So getting there was easy i just walked in the store told them im here to get something right away he pulled it out and $324 dollars later i owned it!. this thing is pretty awesome, i mean coming from the Motorola Triumph to this is a big upgrade in my eyes. i thought the MT was top of the line for Pre-pay. this knocks them all out. come on, 3d dual core 1gb ram/4gb rom. pretty amazing. thats twice as much ram then the iphone 4s. And 3d is really fun to play with. Makes people attracted to it's charm. the handset it self is simple but elegant at the same time. the dual 5mp cams on the back make it look pretty retro like a old school cassette tape or a boombox lmao. but very sexy. the camera it self is much better quality (No more greeness! :) ) i get full 3g bars and full 4g in my area its super fast! highest i got was 9.19mp/s. and thats faster then the wifi i barrow from my neighbors! lol. in all means its a great device and much better upgrade then the MT. But activation was a bitch and i get these errors some time to time but it hasn't effected anything like not sending/receiving texts or calls. just annoying pop-ups right now.

Some random screenies:

High 4g speed

4-point touch screen:


Multitasking!!


Beautiful!
 
i know i can get it online, but i want the phone now! lol. i was just stopping by places on my way home from work to no avail. sad day
 
I got mine just the other day. I thought it was bein sold online only for like the first month. I checked everyone's websites to order it but everyone was sold out. Then I read a review on here someone sayin to check the stores so I called my local radio shack and they had 1 there. Had them hold it and went and got it. I'm loving the phone its so much better then the triumph but I am finding multiple small issues and one big issue. For example, sometimes when I'm typing the word segestions sit way higher then the top of the keyboard covering what I am typing so I am unable to see what I have already put. Also not that its an issue with the phone but there is no exit option for a web page unless you have more then one page open, in which then you can exit the others. The biggest problem is my service cuts in and out completely all day long here and there. Even while in the same location all day long (at work). Hopefully that is fixed within time however as some are saying. Otherwise I'm loving this phone. Excellent addition to virgin mobile by a long run.

I think they were suggesting you use the Radio Shack In-Store Availability tool. Check it:

In Store Availability

Just put in your zip code and see which stores have it in stock. It looks like the data last updated yesterday, so call first.
 
Yessssssss

I got mine today. After having a minor issue activating, had a error 131 because I activated it with the phone turned on, the vm cs guy told me to power down the phone for 20-30 minutes and that I had already activated it o_o. I did just that and when I turned the phone back on it proceeded to activate and everything is functioning perfectly.

What do you know, that does actually work lol. VM Rep told me the same thing since I tried to activate when my phone was on. I turned my phone off and it still didn't activate when I turned it on 20 minutes later but activated shortly there after. Pretty sure most people turned their phones on at first lol
 
Anyone find one in Sarasota/Bradenton/St Pete area? That's about the distance I'm willing to drive to have it tomorrow, otherwise i'll TRY and wait til sunday when bestbuy etc get them :\ TRY and wait is so hard, at least I work the next two days to keep my mind off it a bit.
 
Got mine today at radio shack... Surprised they had one left.. works flawlessly!!!! Definitely better than the MT... I'm just wondering if I can take off the ring lock, if anybody knows how to take it off lmk thank you
 
i have this phone and besides not being able to send text i love it, i have it rooted (took me like 10 mins lol) and a good rom on it its way faster and it has alittle sense 4.0 to it loving this phone way more now
