Called in again this morning and the loyalty representative read a memo (that was sent out today that all Bell stores) to begin distributing the phones TODAY.
Has anyone got their hands on one yet? I tried a few stores in the GTA, one being a corporate store also, none of them had heard of this yet. Both said August 16th. One store said that they haven't received any in stock yet, once they do they will be able to sell them.
I tried calling around a few locations a few minutes ago, and I got a couple to say that they technically have them for sale today but there is no stock, or they are expecting shipment at some point today or tomorrow.
Ran to a bunch of places and it seems like the only places in my area that have bell 9900s are TBooth and Wireless Wave. This Wireless Wave also has 24 Rogers 9900s. Unfortunately, their inventory system hasn't updated yet so they cannot put the transaction through even if they wanted to - I've got one on hold from my friend who works there.
Meanwhile the list of Bell dealers incl Bell Store, Future Shop, Best Buy Mobile, The Source, and none of them have Bell 9900s
Picked up mine at the Bell Store at the Eaton Centre at lunch time. I was the second person to pick one up today and I love it! Very speedy, love teh keyboard spacing and feel. Works really well with my Playbook
