One X taken off shelf due to lawsuit?

[LanceM]

My One X got stolen yesterday (another story), so I went to ATT yesterday to replace it. Was told it was taken off the shelf due to the Apple/HTC lawsuit. Sales guy had no idea when that happened, only that it wouldnt let him sell me one.

He had no eta.

Anyone else have this issue? And why would ATT be involved in this unless their was an injunction?

Old news about the patent fight yes. AT&T not allowing sales of devices no. I got my One X replaced on Monday for a screen issue. They had no issue replacing or selling the One X.

yeah i actualy got mine the day after all the lawsuit stuff was happening. I work for sprint and know the evo lte got pushed back about 2 weeks but my one x was no problem to get.

When I went to get my HTC One X, which was a couple days after the lawsuit was announced, no one in the store even knew that there was a lawsuit going on.

I was in my local corporate AT&T store yesterday exchanging my HOX because the bottom of the case started to separate from the glass. They still had stock and were selling them.

It's like that at a couple stores around me too, it amazes me that they aren't educated on these matters but in some instances I think they are "trained" to tell unaware customers a different story. Would the average user even know anything about the ITC and/or patent laws?

From what I have heard they have stopped selling it in the non-LTE markets.

I've tried to exchange my phone in the last week but my local store and apparently every other store in i'm city are all out of stock. I was forwarded to the warranty repair center who admitted to the hold up from customs and placed a note on my account extending my 30 days return until my local store receives more in stock. I was told to check Monday, though with that being Labor Day i do expect it then either.

It's an import ban, not a stop sale. Customs held them up. A stop sale would require court intervention. There's no reason other than confusion for those in the country already not to be sold.

I convinced a friend to switch from iphone to one x after he saw mine. He called up AT&T and tried to order. The guy asked him if he was talking about vivid because that's the only thing that was coming up in his system.

Walked into an AT&T store on Monday and bought one no problem. They had several of each color in stock.

This. I went to att in middle Tennessee today and asked for one. Everyone just gave each other a look like I was gonna rob the store or something. Said they had no information for me (really?) And kept trying to sell me a lumia. I was all like hell naw lol.

100% accurate. The company I work for has them in stock and is selling them.

Non LTE market here. Still selling but my store is almost out with no eta for new shipments.

Why would that be? Is that going to be a general rule for them now or is it somehow related to the ban?

HOX discontinued!!

I called in and just got off the phone with a att warenty and sales department about getting a phone replaced because the loud speaker quit. after an hour and half on the phone the lady finally came back and told me that this phone is as of now discontinued, and was told to pick out a different phone and they would replace it with it. I asked how long it would be till they recieved more and I would wait till then, well after being switched to a supervisor I was informed that AT&T would not be selling the HOX again, and in no way could it be replaced.
my advise is to be carefull with your phone. I am going to contact HTC and see if there is any way to get it fixed or replaced directly through them.

What the?! Can anybody else confirm this? If this is true I wonder what it will do to the support of this phone by HTC?
