Surface Go with LTE

The page is talking about the Surface Pro 5 LTE and ironically, it's available now (has been for six months or so).

To be fair, the marketing and customer support people are given pretty much the exact same info the public gets, maybe a little earlier... and in my general experience, customer support people tend to have a thing where they want to answer a question, and so often answer the question they hear, not the one asked.

So you said 'Surface Go LTE' - they saw 'Surface' and 'LTE' and matched 'Surface Pro i5 LTE' and used that to answer the question they saw. I'm not going to dump on Microsoft here - EVERY customer support person seems to do this. And annoyingly, being more precise and accurate in the question literally changes nothing - in fact, it seems to make things worse.

The correct answer is "The Surface team is working on it and just recently received FCC approval for the Go LTE. We expect to have the new Go LTE available by the end of the year as we've advertised."

Meanwhile, it's interesting to note that they just released a new third model of the Go with 4GB/128GB model at US500... so THAT makes me a little annoyed that the LTE model hasn't been released yet.

I stopped by Best Buy about 2 weeks ago, and there was a Microsoft rep there. He said the Surface Go LTE would go up for pre-order on Best Buy's website on November 10, 2018, and that it would begin shipping on November 20, 2018. It would also not be available in-store, at least initially. He even showed me a slideshow that showed that info and said he could tell/show me since it wasn't proprietary info anymore. I suppose he could have meant December and not November; but, I'm 80% sure he meant November cause I remember confirming it was only a couple of weeks out - I do regret not having asked if I could snap a picture.

Anyways, I checked Best Buy's website yesterday and nothing - figured it might show today since they usually wait until Sunday to start a new sales week, and nothing again. Oh well, guess it just means waiting a bit longer, or maybe it's in the stars that I just get the new LTE tablet from everyone's favorite fruit company :-)

Now it's on MS Store but "Out of stock"?

That’s good news. Looks like Best Buy finally got it up also; but, not available until 11/20.
