TMobile Gold 64 GB edition: anyone got theirs yet?

[Sammuel1973]

I ordered mine at a local store on 4/10, checked the next day for the status online, said it was backordered, then called the Loyalty Dept. They said they can speed up the shipping, would arrive between 7-14 days. I just checked UPS this morning, the arrival is actually tomorrow!!!

Anyway, for those who did the preorder way before 4/10, did you get yours yet? If so, I am dying to know your thoughts on the color, shine, and if the level of "gold" changes slightly due to a different angle and lighting. Thanks!

Perhaps I am the first one to get it or willing to post it here? Mine arrived yesterday. In case anyone is curious or interested, the phone is stunning! It is less gold than expected, more champagne and gray. Unlike the black version, where it looks a little bluish from different lighting and angle, the champagne color stays the same. When looking at the home button and speaker grill area, there is no "mirror" reflection either. For some reviews on YouTube, the reflection seems more pronunced and shiny. There's no mirrior effect on the back either, although it's very shiny, ha. One drawback is the visibility of fingerprints, so definitely a case (clear one for me) would help.

Sorry, forgot to attach pics.

My wife got hers yesterday. Really nice looking phone, but yeah, definitely not as gold as either of us thought it would be. She loves everything except for the awful battery life that she's already getting :s

That's great she got hers too. I heard the battery life is an issue, but wasn't sure if it's carrier specific. Someone else posted on another thread about a screen rotation problem, thought it was limited to Verizon and Sprint version. No issue with your wife's?

Not sure about her screen rotation, or whether she's even tried it. I just know that from fully charged at 7:00 this morning, in 2 hours, she's sitting at 74% ... not so good haha. We're on T-Mobile
