Default First shipment of the 8925 is Sep 3rd 3,200 will be shipped.

This is my first post here, but I come here all the time. But I just got some great info from AT&T. First off let me tell you, I got a 8525 about 2 months ago, and I love it, 2 weeks later I find out about the 8925 coming out. So for the last 2 months I have been doing the 30 day trial of a phone. After 30 days I trade in for a new 8525 so I can keep doing that and get the full value of the phone once the 8925 comes in. Every time I ask about the 8925, with no luck. Well today came around and its time for me to trade in again. I asked about it again and I found out great info. I know we have all seen the reports of the Sep 3rd date. But I now heard it with my own ears. This is what I am told.

First shipment of the 8925 is Sep 3rd 3,200 will be shipped in. then for the next 3 weeks 4,480, 3,200, 3,200 will be shipped into stock.

I hope this info makes you as happy as I am. Oh and I was told in her system it was the HTC 8925, she did not have it called the "tilt"

Hmmm....I hope you are right. I don't care what they name the device as long as it is released soon 'cause the wait is killing me!

Thumbs up Woot

Nice, I'll be purchasing one from ATT if they don't remove the front video camera and/or the price is as low as the $499 rumored.

It was someone in sales. They had no more 8525 for me to swap with. But she was able to tell me when the next shipment was in on the 27th. At that point I asked her when the 8925 would be shipped in, and thats when she told me sept the 3rd. I hope this help you get the info too.

Default Incorrect Information

HTC representatives are demonstrating the AT&T 8925 to Customer Service within AT&T this week.

The Device will be called AT&T 8925, but it is still commonly referred to the Tilt.

Sadly, the device is will not be coming out on Sept 3rd. The device is however scheduled to be release by the end of September.

I just spoke with Customer Service who went up to the HTC rep in regards to the 8925, and the conversation went like this (litterly):

AT&T Rep: Can you tell me when the 8925 is due to be released?
HTC Rep: The phone does not have a solid release date, but it will be released at the end of the month
AT&T Rep: The customer I have on the phone says he has read on the itnernet that the phone will be released on Sept 3rd.
*HTC rep turns her screen around to show the AT&T Rep*
HTC Rep: That is not gonna happen. *laughs* It will be out by towards the end of September.

Well there you go, a short story of how it happened.

Sadly it was also noted that the AT&T 8925 WILL NOT have the front VGA camera for video calling.

Great info, thanks for posting that.
Hmm.. so do I want the front camera to spend more and get the htc version.. or wait for ATT version. The simple answer is to wait for both to be released and compare!

I don't know, the rep I talked to read me the sipping report from her PC. Maybe they are getting a few shipments in before they release it. But its just odd the first date I was given was the 3rd. We will just have to see.

Ok here is an update. I called back and spoke with this really awesome rep.

She checked her system, and at first glance her system showed that the phone would not be released until "mid-late sept". Then she checked her warehouse inventory, and it showed they are in fact gonna receive the phones on Sept 3rd.

She was then sort of confused and figured that they might be getting the phones early, but not actually start selling them until a later date.

I for one am very excited for sept 3rd because after continuing to talk to her, they will be sending me a free 8925 (tilt) with free shipping and taxes waived. I have been having multipul problems with my phone, and she got it approved to be sent out to me as soon as the warehouse gets em.
