T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note Vanishes
The T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note has vanished at T-Mobile without explanation and it apparently has disappeared from stock at a few retailers as well.
Over the past day or so, we’ve heard from several consumers who have told us the Samsung Galaxy Note for T-Mobile has up and vanished from T-Mobile’s website and the website’s of Walmart, Costco and Wirefly. T-Mobile has yet to indicate why the device has vanished from its online store and why it is no longer available at several well-known retailers.
Oddly enough, the device remains available through Samsung and through Best Buy.

TMoNews was the first to notice that the device was missing.
On August 8th, T-Mobile finally launched the original 5.3-inch Galaxy Note after a long wait. And now, oddly enough, just a few weeks later, the device has seemingly disappeared without a trace.
Conspiracy theories are abound as to why the Galaxy Note has up and left T-Mobile’s website and why it has become unavailable at several others.

With the Samsung Galaxy Note II on the horizon for August 29th, it’s possible that T-Mobile decided to can the device in favor of the new model.
However, a more likely theory is that the device is just simply out of stock. That doesn’t really explain the fact that the Galaxy Note has vanished completely from T-Mobile’s site though. If it was out of stock, the carrier would likely label it as such.
So, it would appear that consumers are in the midst of a mystery and it’s possible that the plot could thicken at some point in the near future when T-Mobile finally decides to address the situation.
Thus far though, T-Mobile and the retailers who have sold out of the device remain silent leaving consumers to wonder just what is going on with the T-Mobile Galaxy Note.
Anyone out there discouraged by the news?

Many thought that their decision to carry the 1st gen Note so late in the game and so close to the 2nd Gen Note coming was a mistake.
This just indicates that they realize that mistake and will be one of the carriers that will offer the 2nd Gen Note along side Sprint, AT&T and Verizon.
My only question is what happens to all those that bought the 1gen Note on T-Mobile. I am sure they will get upset especially since I doubt they can return that note for the newer one.
