I got mine from a US T-Mobile store WITHOUT adding the data plan, but I DID renew my contract. I got it for ~$180 (or what ever the price is)
This is how you do it:
My wife was with me, so I said it was a present for my sister-in-law and my wife said "yeah, it a birthday present for my sister". You gotta play it pretty good to get them to do it. I told him, she just wants to see how it is before she adds the data plan.
The only thing the rep said was "ohh, can you add the data plan in a week so we get credit for the sale?"
SO- if you want a G1 without the dataplan, you have to be a talker and be able to convince them to give it to you. Just say its a present and they just want to try it before they get the plan. What are they going to say?
Not only that, after I got home, I called T-Mobile, said I was going to the UK and they gave me the unlock code.
Bottomline- If you want something be confident and have a gameplan.
Hope this helps.

thanx for all of your supports . Any other idea ??
Can i buy it at carphonewarehouse

ebay si your best bet, that way you make sure you get a rev that can be rooted (us ver and uk ver)
you can also check the craigslist ads for ur city
but hunting through ebay is safer

Really? Don't mean to be rude, but why can't you check yourself?

It appears that no, you can't buy the phone by itself from them.

Who here in the U.S. is getting Tmobile's HD2 on the 24th?

Contract or cash? No pre-sales, so are ya gonna camp out, or not? I'm payin cash, no contract. Will camp if necessary, lol. 476.94 including tax is a steel imo

im getting it too... with contract

think i might get one too.. my hd is dead ;-( would this have the 3G network?

^^Yup, as long as your have Tmobile service in your area.

Im Buying 2 Flat Out And Selling One For Profit. They Are Going For Almost $1000 Online.

impatiently waiting
time to retire my X1a

im gonna be the first to get it and renew my contract lol my topaz it was great but move over topaz HELLO LEO LOL

I'm definitely getting one... haven't decided on contract or not. I've been waiting months for this phone. Finally retiring my touch pro.

So there is the T8525 and T9193. I wonder if Tmobile's version model number will be different?

T-Mobile works fine in nyc. There's locations all over the place. I'll probably drop by in the morning. I hope it'll still be in stock when I get there, else I'll have to go to another location like 10 blocks away..

Why is it so cheap at 476.96? Is there a reason behind this?

yup, makes no sense, it's been3-4 months it's been out alright, but it still has OFFICIALLY 576mb of ram, and double the amount of rom. It still goes for 630EUR here in italy new in shops (even if noone buys it at that price anymore tho), so it seems unreasonable to have it so cheap (about 400EUR?) off the shelves... maybe was a typo?

im gettin one 2 on someone esle contract

double post

Do not question the smart phone gods benevolence! We have been blessed with a bounty beyond words. Still your tongue, lest we be cursed with 1980 motorola bagphones for all eternity

I've been hoping for the RAMAROM threads to come back to life again so it would entertain me for 3 more weeks...

Not me, already ordered euro version, im on at&t anyways

yes im getting it with contract and EIP haha I don't care if it gets Windows Phone 7 im not really feeling the UI so far, but im pretty sure the Devs here will port it to the HD2 CANT WAIT! I got Hd2 in my twitter feed to see all the updates, people who work for TMO are already playing with it for training =\

The 24th can't come soon enough
Definitely getting it on the 24th on the $60 Even More Plus 500 minutes unlimited text and data plan. And since I live in Delaware, that means no taxes--->WIN!

I've been with t-mob USA for 6 years, and my dad 13? ish.. when it was that other company.
and finally after all this time there is a reason to actually have t-mobile, haha.
I'm getting it, without the contract.

How to buy HTC HD2 Without T-Mo Service?

Okay,
So, I went down to T-Mobile store here in NYC. They told me I have to buy the phone with some kind of service even if I am buying it for full price. What do I tell them to buy just the phone?
I want to use it over At&t. I read that other people bought it from the store. Did anyone had to sign up for a new service?
I would appreciate any help
Thank you.

I just walked in to buy it. I ended up talking myself into getting a Flex Plan since I didnt wanna use it on Edge...
You can always just buy it and get a Flex Plan for a month and when its up, dont renew. Phone is yours, no contract..

i have a brand new tmobile htc hd2 that has never been used..if your interested let me know

they lied to you.. stock is still short so they want most of them for extending contracts or opening new ones because they get more money... just try a different store or go in and try again.

i have a 3 day old HTC HD2 for sale for $400

data plan
I paid cash for mine. The sales guy asked which line I was using it on and I refused to say. He hated that.
They lied to you. They can sell the phone without a plan. They are just upset cause they're loosing revenue without a plan..
Shame on you T-Mobile
fhaines

Buy the phone with a no-contract "EVEN MORE PLUS PLAN" @$449.99
Then call them up and say you don't like their service and you would like to cancel the plan, you should get a prorated charge of a few dollars for a day. That should be it. they cant ask for the phone back, since u paid full retail price for it. you have to get it unlocked from online though.

They're trying to keep their stock for people who are going to start a new contract.
I've heard outright lies such as the HD2 being 'about $700' without a contract. This was over the phone when I was calling around and checking the stock on the first day.

Anyone know where to buy in Canada?

I can ship to Canana! $580, or my shop in Markam.Ontario

They tried the same thing with me, even though its off contract they are trying to still push plans and activation on it, even online, no way to buy it for $440 directly from the website,
i got it through a friend with a tmobile acc

I have an unlocked T-Mobile HTC HD2 for sale... I'm looking for around $525, which is what I paid + shipping of your choice. (I paid $29.99 to unlock it.) I'm tried using it on AT&T and can't stand EDGE. I never even tried a call on it. My AT&T Pure will have to hold me over until I can get a Telstra HTC HD2. I have all original accessories, documentation and box to go with it. PM me if you're interested. Oh yeah, I've flashed it with the latest Energy Rom, but I can downgrade it to stock rom if you like.

My Streak Has Gone To eBay

Please feel free to move this post or remove it if I can't say I am selling mine .. But I have decided for now to go back to my old stand by .. thinking about the eVo also but I hate to change carriers.
I paid $650 with shipping .. wanting to get $600 with shipping and insurance included for my USA unlocked T-Mobile and ATT 3G [no 3G for T-Mobile I think.] I put it on eBay for USA buyers only. I don't want to do all that postal stuff for international ..
Catch ya later .. daughter's birthday tonight.
