“Selling Against The iPhone” Secrecy by T-Mobile on September 21 Found

The same date that has been blacklisted previously by major carriers in the case of Vacation Black Out is now further being blacklisted by the fourth largest carrier of U.S.A, T-Mobile. The date is well known by every one and something new is coming to stores the same date. The date is September 21, when the iPhone 5 is highly expected to land in U.S.A for sale. From this day until the first week of October, the major carriers of U.S.A including AT&T and Verizon were rumored to be blacking out the vacations of their employees that were later on backed out by stating the news as false.

Later today, T-Mobile the fourth largest carrier struggling to have an iPhone for sale posted a strange code word in their internal memo “Selling against the iPhone.” This internal memo from T-Mobile arrived in the inbox to TMONEWS showing this code word on the same iPhone 5 sale date, September 21.

According to the above leaked memo from T-Mobile, there can be two possible suppositions starring the first one that, T-Mobile will not be having the iPhone 5 for sale because they are officially trying to have an iPhone on their platform although the iPhone has been released since four years ago. The second supposition is that, T-Mobile would be selling against the iPhone. This means T-Mobile would be selling some sort of Android Phones on the same date rather than the iPhone. The Android Smart Phone has been listed in the above image as well.

However, the date of the iPhone 5 launch points towards September 21 where as the rumored date is September 27 for the first wave of the iPhone 5 launch. This new date of the iPhone 5 launch has created some confusion among the previous rumored dates.

Till now nothing is legitimate until Apple stages with the iPhone 5 on September 12.

Galaxy Note II Release Scheduled with Projected iPhone 5 Release Date

The Korean company is in full swing to bring on a hard competition to its competitor Apple with their newly iPhone 5 launch. We know about the upcoming IFA event on August 29, Wednesday when the Korean company, Samsung will unveil something new that has been in its bag since sometime. That something new we already know is the Galaxy Note II. Samsung has previously released a video teaser about its upcoming IFA event on August 29, telling about something stylish is coming.

The Korean company, Samsung would be unveiling the Galaxy Note II on the IFA event though, what about the release date. Samsung wouldn’t be releasing the new member of the Flagship the same day.

The shipment of Galaxy Note II will be made in the week 40 as stated in the leaked spreadsheet by SamMobile. This week 40 (W40) is expected to be from October 1-7, the same time when the iPhone 5’s second wave is highly expected to release worldwide. Moreover, the Galaxy Note II will come in two colors as enumerated in the leaked spreadsheet by SamMobile. The two colors are “ceRamic White” and the other one is “TBD”. TBD (to be decided) is a new color that Samsung needs you to decide about it. Therefore, we expect the color to be black or pebble blue. The same color that Samsung Galaxy S III got.

According to TechnoBufallo, the retailer pointed out them with a little sanction about a new color scheme coming to Samsung Galaxy SIII is “Titan Grey.” The same color for Samsung Galaxy S III that has been rumored as “Black” previously. That rumored Black color is “Titan Grey.” Cool.

Those who are waiting for the Samsung Galaxy Note II release anxiously can see the tech Specs that were leaked today from here.

Stay tuned with us for the Samsung Galaxy Note II release.

AT&T Refutes With “Rest Black Out” on iPhone 5 Release Day

Following the previous report of AT&T planning on a vacation black out on the iPhone 5-release day by TechCrunch seems to be false. The previous report stated that AT&T would be blocking the holidays of its employees because of an iconic release coming ahead by Apple. The iconic release by Apple is highly expected to be an iPhone 5. The dates on which the black out was planned were September 21-30, the same time duration when iPhone 5 will go on sale in America probably. Same incident happened with Verizon. The news broke out in wild regarding a vacation black out planned for the same dates by Verizon.

Today, with the start of a fresh day and weekday, 9to5mac reported that AT&T officials have denied the vacation black out news. The officials say that there is no such vacation black out planned for those specific dates ahead of the iPhone 5 launch.

An AT&T spokesperson told us this morning that there is no company-wide vacation blackout for the end of September.

We also talked to AT&T reps at other stores who implied more people are being put on duty, depending on staffing levels of that particular store, but there is no “blackout.” One New York employee will even sit out the first week of the iPhone launch due to a long-planned vacation.

This new contradiction from AT&T officials resembles the same contradiction of Verizon Wireless Company regarding the vacation black out.

The report also notes that one New York Employee of AT&T would be on vacation for a week before the iPhone 5 release day comes ahead. However, numerous sources have pointed out the iPhone 5-inauguration day on September 12 and the iPhone 5 release day on September 21. For the time being there is no such official confirmation by Apple regarding the Media Event that is rumored to happen on above mentioned dates.

AT&T Holiday Black Out Sustains September 21 iPhone 5 Launch Day

AT&T has cancelled the staff holidays from September 21 to September 30. This blackout of the vacation simply points out to the previous news regarding the vacation black out planned by Verizon for its employees on the same date. The news of AT&T vacation blackout comes from TechCrunch stating:

According to an AT&T sales rep, AT&T staff has been given a vacation blackout from September 21 to September 30.

The sources also notes that the AT&T employees are under going some training for the iconic release ahead. The only iconic release coming up is of the iPhone 5 on September 12 and release on September 21. This new report of AT&T vacation blackout simply adds more weight on the release date of the iPhone 5 that was rumored before. We can now say that the iPhone 5 is for sure coming on September 21 for sale.

The sources also notes that the AT&T employees are under going some training for the iconic release ahead. The only iconic release coming up is of the iPhone 5 on September 12 and release on September 21. Previously we told you about a claim made by BGR according to their reliable sources that AT&T employees will go under some training in the first week of October due to something big would be announced at that time. The announcement was never made. It is still kept hidden from the users officially. The iPhone 5 is expected to show case on September 12 and the release has been planned for a week and a half after its announcement that is September 21, Friday.

Moreover, the two major carrier companies have further more confirmed the launch date of iPhone 5 by leaking out the vacation black out notice on the same rumored date. Therefore, this new report of AT&T vacation blackout simply adds more weight on the release date of the iPhone 5 that was rumored before. We can now say that the iPhone 5 is for sure coming on September 21 for sale.

So markup your calendars for September 12 and September 21 because these days are going to be a big day ahead of iPhone 5 launch. All we need is an official announcement by Apple to seal the deal and close the rumors officially.

When do you think Apple would announce the official dates?
