iPhone 4S gets official date and blessing by C-Spire, all yours on November 11th

Oh, heck yeah. We’ve already been delighted by the news that C-Spire (the hip carrier formerly known as Cellular South) is the lucky recipient of the iPhone 4S, but we now have a date — and it’s coming up pretty fast. Both the 4S and the 4 will be ready for your purchase on November 11th, unsurprisingly for the same exact cost as the big three national carriers: $99 for the 8GB iPhone 4 and $199-399 for the iPhone 4S, but the deal’s sweetened by the offering of unlimited data (though the two lowest plans exclude streaming). If you’re down with that, it’s a good idea to head over to the site and get pre-registered as soon as possible. Now that the little guys officially have the iconic device, who’s next? Full press release after the break.

Nokia Lumia 800 hits UK carriers this November, Xbox 360 used as bait

Posted in: carrier, mango, mobilepostcross, nokia, pre-order, Today's Chili, vodafone, xbox 360, Xbox360

Nokia fanboys and girls across the British Isles are getting the Lumia 800 love as early as November. Confirmed on a trio of carriers earlier today, Espoo’s “first real Windows Phone” is slated to hit Vodafone, Orange and 3 UK sometime next month, though no specific street date has yet been revealed. You can hit up the operators’ respective sites now to sign-up for the availability updates, or go whole hog with an in-store pre-order in the case of 3 UK. At least one of these networks is sweetening the pot for potential subs, as Orange’s enticing lure of a free Xbox 360 with handset upgrade is sure to reel in bargain hunting customers. So, what are you waiting for? Hit up the source below to hand over your deets and claim your spot in this Finnish Mango queue.

Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus ready for your pre-orders, sticky with Honeycomb (Update: 404’d)

Posted in: 7-inch, amazon, Android, android tablet, AndroidTablet, dual-core, GalaxyTab, honeycomb, launch, minipost, pre-order, PreOrder, samsung, samsung galaxy tab, SamsungGalaxyTab, slate, tablet, Today's Chili

Having passed the FCC’s critical eye, and hot on the heels of Samsung’s now official love-in with Google, the Korean manufacturer’s pint-sized tablet refresh is now up for pre-ordering. Priced at $399 for the 16GB model (or $499 for 32GB), Amazon remains tight-lipped on release date info, but is more than happy to tell us what we’ll get for that wad of notes. That includes Android Honeycomb 3.2, and a dual-core 1.2GHz processor — a substantial jump up from the single 1GHz processor we had with the original Galaxy Tab. If Samsung can promise a swift Ice Cream Sandwich upgrade, we could well be sold.

Update: It appears the Amazon links are pointing to a 404 error now. We’ll keep an eye on them!

iPhone 4S pre-orders are in the mail

iPhone 4S shipment notification

If you were one of the impatient million who jumped to pre-order an iPhone 4S, well, chances are your fancy new handset is already in the mail. A number of tipsters have reached out to us to share their shipment notification emails that just came in from Apple. All the packages we’ve seen are scheduled for delivery on October 14th, but we wouldn’t be shocked if a few of those landed in customers hands a bit early. If you haven’t already handed over your billing info, you’ll be waiting at least a week or two longer. But, if you weren’t camped out at your computer waiting for the 3am sale to begin, we’re gonna assume you’re not terribly concerned.

T-Mo customers, don’t get jealous of everyone pre-ordering an iPhone 4S, you’ve got your own super phone ready to hit retail channels — the Galaxy S II. As promised, the 4.5-inch variant of Samsung’s current flagship device hit T-Mobile’s site today for pre-order and is expected to start popping up on retail shelves on Wednesday, October 12th. If you want to make sure you’re one of the first on Big Magenta to leave your fingerprints on its sizable Super AMOLED Plus screen, head on over to the carrier’s site now to put in your order. The privilege will set you back $230 with a two-year contract.

Apple iPhone 4S pre-orders exceed one million in first 24 hours (updated)

Posted in: Apple, AppleIphone, att, cdma, hspa, ios, ios 5, Ios5, iPhone, iphone 4s, keynote, mobilepostcross, o2, pre-order, smartphone, Sprint, t-mobile, Today's Chili, verizon, Verizon Wireless, VerizonWireless, vzw

Last year’s iPhone 4 launch brought more than 600,000 pre-orders within the first 24 hours. This year, that number nearly doubled, topping one million within one day of the device’s pre-order availability through AT&T, Sprint and Verizon. Those that haven’t pre-ordered the iPhone 4S can line up at Apple stores beginning at 8 a.m. on October 14th, or you can try your luck at pre-ordering now, though you may need to wait an extra week or two to get your hands on Apple’s new iOS smartphone. Jump past the break for Apple’s PR.

Update: Maybe not a huge surprise considering the numbers Apple announced earlier today, but Sprint has just let us know that it has sold out of the 16GB iPhone 4S in both black and white for pre-orders, and that it’s not taking backorders. 32GB and 64GB models are still available in both colors, however, as is the 8GB iPhone 4.

Apple iPhone 4S now shipping in ‘one to two’ weeks, over 200,000 AT&T pre-orders in first 12 hours

Posted in: Apple, att, dual-core, hspa, ios 5, Ios5, iPhone, iphone 4s, mobilepostcross, pre-order, Sprint, Today's Chili, verizon, Verizon Wireless, VerizonWireless
If there was any question of how hot a tamale Apple’s iPhone 4S would be, the answer’s edging toward muy caliente. AT&T’s stated that the iPhone 4S has ushered in its best iPhone launch to date, receiving over 200,000 pre-orders for the device during the first 12 hours of availability (crediting its success to having the only US version operating over 14.4Mb/s HSPA+, aka FauxG). While that’s good news for Ma Bell, as of today, you’ll be looking at a wait time of “one to two weeks” after placing an order for this latest iThing (Sprint and Verizon included). We’ve yet to hear how the latter two telecoms have fared, but we’d imagine it won’t be a secret for too long — the iPhone 4S is officially available on October 14th, after all. Full AT&T PR just past the break.
