I hope you are right. I was under the impression the Passport would be out first. Also why would they not send out any notifications if this is the case for those of us who signed up for the updates via ATT business website?
Doubtful as AT&T would normally have given notice this week that sales were occurring tomorrow and online pre-orders usually start first as well. Another key is someone on the phone told you this. Likely blowing smoke to get you to the store. If so then that would be unfortunate that AT&T is not trying to pump sales further with an announcement before hand. Friday is AT&T's usual day for displaying new phones in their stores though.
Just called the same store as yesterday, they said "even though it launches today, we haven't received a shipment in, probably since we are a smaller store." Not sure what this means... but today now goes down as a very, very sad day.
(269)385-3272 for the store.
I think they lied to you to get you in the store. If it was launched today they would have some information about it. No info from the rep as of this morning on device specifics or release date. sham
On another note, both reps i talked to told me the Classic does not have wireless PMA charging. If they are correct or not is beyond me b/c other than the publications officially released by ATT they don't have any info beyond that and they are solely relying on what was publicly released to everyone.
This whole time I have been holding out for the ATT model in hopes of wireless charging and my patience may have been futile.
