Wassup guys,
Im very interested in buying a G2, ive been using my HD2 for 3 months now, and have been running android on it. But ive decided its time for a new phone. I am very interested in buying the G2 how much did it cost you out the door? Right now i have $180 so im trying to come up with the rest but im just wondering how much more is it going to cost me. Im due for an upgrade on t-mobile so im updating my line i live in california.
Thanks,
Cali
Really depend on the plan you have. I have even more plus plan with $295 credit available and its gonna cost me $257 and some change when I get it on Wednesday and heard that radio shack has it for 149 with 2year contract, so best to go there for you since you will be upgrading on a contract. I don't have a contract

it cost me a hug and a thank you. got it as a present
a kidney and half of a liver... also a quarter of my pay check... also twice of what my wife allows me to spend in a month ><
It cost me $100 in birthday money, $140 for about 2 hours of computer sidework and $7 out of my own pocket.
I live outside the US, so I could only depend on some conscious importers or I will have to take the pricier Desire Z
Suppose the no contract full price in the States is 500, that's reasonable enough for me, just hope the shipping plus markup won 't be extorting
i talked to some guy that worked at tmobile on the phone he told me that it was gonna cost me $250 for the phone w/ a $50 mail in rebate that ill get back in the mail, then $18 for an upgrade fee, and around $40 in sales tax.. so around $300... did anyone pay this ammount? im on a family plan and im upgrading
and i checked radio shacks website and its not even on there lol
149.99 plus tax out the door at radio shack.

The $149 price at Radio Shack is for new contracts only. If you're already an existing T-Mobile customer it's $199.

When T-Mobile's site started taking preorders it was $249 w/ a $50 mail in rebate which was good through 9/30, I believe. So yeah there's some that did pay it.
Cost me $99 + tax. I had to renew a 2 year contract. That's before rebate, so possibly could go down to $49 and tax.

A few over on the Slickdeals forums managed to get it for that price by going through and threatening to cancel first.
I got mine for $149 through tmobile. I called the retention dept over at tmobile and told them i got a flyer stating $100 off any phone upgrade. They did some digging and then told me it can only be applied to existing phones. The rep then said they could offer me a better deal and that's how the $149 came about. And payments are spread over 4 months.

I got it for that price. It was 176 down and 3 or 4 monthly payments of $40. Then a $50 rebate on top of that.
And that's cuz I upgraded to the HD2 in March when it launched, BOGO.
Did the EIP, but it'll cost me 552 total.
Around 500, which is what I'll be paying extra over the course of two years if I switched from the Even More Plus plan to the Even More (if I could even do that, but don't tell me I can't because that'll shatter my dream) as it would $20 extra per month for 2 years ($480).
I paid half my fortune (broke college student, heh). All my savings are gone, time to save up for another 2 years.
It's cool, T-Mobile announced HSPA+ in San Jose today
Not entirely true. Depends on how you do it. If you upgrade, yes, its 199. But with my situation, I just added a new line to my account, and it was 149.00

I just wanted to give everyone a heads up. I currently have a TyTN that I bought about 6 months ago, I finally convinced my wife that she should get a new phone today. We went to the local Cingular Corporate Store and what do we see...8525's on sale for $99.99 with a new 2 year contract. We picked one up for her and I picked one up for myself as a back up phone. You have to sign-up for the PDA Unlimited plan to recieve the mail-in rebate for $50. I opted to not get that plan becuase it's a rip-off, so we paid $150 plus tax for each phone.
I thought that I might spread the word. Maybe you care maybe you don't...just trying to give a little back.
One person at the store said that the special offer ends Monday 4/30/07 and one other person said that it ended on 5/2/07. So if this interests you, you might want to call your local corporate store.
Marc
hmm i guess this is a local deal? I believe in Dallas, TX its still $399.99 with 2 yr contract and minus a $100 rebate for data plan totaling to $299.99 but I do agree thats a rip off for the data plan
What are the details on this special? I can't find it less that $360. Was it a refurb?
yeah i got mine for 200 plus a 50 dollar mail in rebate
hmm I am going to check tomorrow just for kicks. I got the 8525 less than 2 weeks ago. Do Cingular offer price matches? If not, I'll just do a return/exchange

The 2 that I got were brand spankin new. If it helps they were purchased in Tustin, CA.
I called Cingular and game them your 92780 zip code. Price was still >$300.
Was this at a Cingular Store (I thought this was what you meant)? Did it involve rebates? Best price I've seen is $199 after rebates @ Wirefly (but I won't buy from them or anyone using them again).
I'd buy one today if I could get the deal you got!
Which store did you buy it from in CA, I'll call them directly!

Why do you think the PDA Unlimited plan is a rip off?
I have the PDA Connect (Shown as: "PDACNCTUNTLADD" on my bill) for $39.99 minus company sponsorship discount.
Is there a better unlimited data plan?
Thanks.
Got mine for $99 (after $50 rebate). It used a $100 rebate for the California market, but since it was a corporate store, they matched the final price here.
Love these forums, saved me >$250 on this puppy!
Today was the last day.
If you want to make a mad dash, call you local store and see if they will match the current promotion in California.

Because most pay 19.99 for the Media Max and get unlimited internet... you just need to tell them you have a non-pda phone...
I tried calling the stores AND the price is 150 -50 for PDA, BUT you have to upgrade in the store. They wont do any over the phone orders. And cingular.com will not honor the price.
FINALLY I was able to get one of the store in the LA area to upgrade me over the phone and ship it to me... but it is not 150... Actually it is 196.49 out the door with taxes (they have to charge tax on the original price or some BS like that). Still a deal.
SO ANYONE IN THE LA AREA JUMP AT THIS DEAL.....
Ron
It would be proper to mention all the details about the deal... They are NOT 99 dollars.
It's 149.99 if you pick up a 2 year contract (or have an upgrade available on the account)
Tax is 46 dollars and is based on the 399 price tag, not the 99.99 tag
And until now, I thought the rebate was for everyone, but apparently it's only 50 off if you get that unlimited data plan.
The phones are 196.xx out the door each NOT 99!!!

True, I found this discrepancy out for myself, BUT I still gladly paid the $196, BECAUSE it is a stellar deal.
Ron
Wait I'm confused, was this just one Coporate Store? Are you sure it's over? I'm in the L.A. area, where should I go to see if I can still get this deal?
THanks for the help
yeah no kidding. I was gonna buy a TYTN for $600 until I saw this.
Well i was able to get the vibrant for Tmobile for 64.99 with 2 year commitment with $20 unlimited data loyalty plan, No upgrade/ activation fee, and free 3 day shipping and intant rebate. I was offered same deal on all 5 of my lines but will only take it up on one since i want to save the other upgrades for future phone releases. Only bad part is i wont get the vibrant until tuesday .
Im thinking of picking up one at tmobile tomorrow for retail price which is$439 to play with until mine comes in and then just return it, but i dont think tmobile will like that much.
Just really happy to get such a great deal and looking foward to android coming from the iphone platform

He has 5 lines. Phone companies always treat people based on how much they pay a month. The more you pay on your phone bill the more likely you are to get deals and fee's waived.
Also I see this confusion a LOT. $439 vs $499. It seems the $439 price is only for current customers, or people well into their contract. The $499 is for everyone else.

Ive been with tmo for 8 years and have 5 lines so im sure that helped. Basicly all my lines are out of contract and had previous considered going to ATT for new iphone. Tmobile offered free upgrades on all lines for any phone they had at that time with all fees waived. But they didnt have the vibrant out yet, so they told me to call once it was out to see what deal i could have. I called once it became availabe and they offered to waived all fees, bump up shipping and and additional $100 credit to regular upgrade. They ended up giving me additional $135 because i mentioned my upgrade only said 164.99, which was different from their $199, so they just added $35 to match the price.
Tmobile takes care of their customers! I have no issues being on a commitment with them.
Nice ^^^
They really hooked you up.

I paid $499.99
i paid 499.99 also, and i've been with t-mobile for 9 years with 4 phones.
got one offered for $429+taxes (~$460) as my early upgrade price (i bought my mt3g aug last year).
moved on to the retentions folks who brought it down to $249 + taxes, which is only $50 more than a brand new contract, i was sold on that. had them make the note on my account and picked it up in-store locally for the same price! =)
loving the phone so far, big upgrade from the mytouch3g.
can't wait to get CM6 on this baby.
btw, im having market issues currently - "download failed" error. was initially able to download a couple apps, but none now despite several reboots.

If you signed a 2 year contract, then you could try to get the $50 rebate.

fuuuckkk so us G1 users are screwed?! my upgrade doesn't take affect till august something (got the g1 on release date) i wanted the phone for 100 bucks
Just wondering how many of you bought your Epics off contract and paid full price.
I noticed Sprints website retails the phone for 499.99, RadioShack shows it at 549.99, and BestBuy.com rolls in at a whooping 649.99.
Where'd you buy yours at? Being that I don't have an upgrade available, every dollar will help - so I assume Sprint.com or a Sprint Store is the best bet.
I hate to order one online - something I just can't wait for.
Well I bought mine off contract but didn't pay full price. Scored mine brand-new-in-box on craigslist for $380. ;-)
I sold my Hero back to Sprint for $47 and that pretty much took care of my sales tax on the full price.
Just picked up two on ebay. $380 and $385. Pretty psyched. It will be a sad day when I have to sell my TP2's but I'll cope.
I paid the full $499 + tax at a local Sprint store. No regrets whatsoever. Gave my Evo to the wife and I'm not looking back!
Sent from my Samsung Epic 4G using XDA App
Lol, I bought my Moment on launch day when I was 16. I actually signed the contract. A week before I bought the Epic, I called Sprint and voided the contract. No termination fee at all.
I bought the Epic for $250 + $75 tax at Radio Shack on a new line. Wirefly had the phone for $200 online. I tried to get a price match but they preferred I just return the phone and buy it from Wirefly.
I have 30 days to return the phone and find a good deal so I'm not worried.

Welp - I bought it last night.
Sprint wouldn't let me buy one at all, even at full price, even letting them activate it in store. I was pissed. So I went the Radio Shack, bought it for 50 more and went back to the Sprint store just to show the ass I had one and he could start licking from the base.
When i got the G2 last month with a partial upgrade i had to pay $350, then found out costco had them for 99$ and that people were calling 611 and making tmobile price match that and getting theirs for around $150 in the end...
I ended up returning the HTC G2 after finding out i had paid almost 3 times too much.
I just ended up calling 611 for my Mytouch HD upgrade and she marked my account at $260 for an upgrade.
Is that worth it? is costco selling it for less again? I want to snag this phone up today so ill wait a few hours and read any posts i may get.
________________________
EDIT: After a huge debate with a customer service rep, i was able to get the phone for $149.99 + TAX, but it was harder then pulling teeth!!!!
I got mine for $150 and adde the $20 data plan. I also signed a two year contract. No upgrade fee and free shipping.
I got the family more plus plan so I wanted to put down $300 for the phone. At the end I paid $347 with 2 silicon case (20% off the cases if I got 2. So I bought one for my cousin.) and change, but I have about $182 and change left to pay.
myTouch4G (Glacier)
Hubby called retention and got it for $149.99 (matching wirefly's price) and free shipping. With the EIP, paid $30 up front, and 3x $40 for the next three months bill. This is the upgrade price (+ 2 more years of contract) which I don't mind since we like T-mo and we're on a grandfathered plan.
Should be here on Wednesday.
I got mine at Costco. $200 - $50 MIR = $149.
i got mine from tmo for 99 then a 2nd one for 149 .... which i havent opened if anyone interested lol
Got mine for 150 on a new contract... - my 30% discount (radioshack) and - the 45$ I got from tmo in commission for selling the contract... breaks down to 75+sales tax
Then in 3 months the contract gets shredded when I convert it to dealer line

I showed this to my tmobile store and they wanted my activations so they sold it to my for 79.99 and gave me a $50 T-Mobile rebate, so I never had to use my BoA card and I walked out of the store with 2 MT4G's. My gf wanted the purple one (I got the black) so I made them take the class 4 sd cards out of another black one and replace the purple's class 2.
Yes you read that right. Black ones get class 4 sandisk sd cards and the purple ones all had class 2 samsung sd cards. Not sure about the other colors.
Got mine for $149.99 thru retentions
But I wish I would have been one of the lucky to get it for $99 lol but $50 isn't something for me to get up in arms about because either way I got a deal I believe.
post your experiences here and let us all know how it goes...were you able to get $399? $499? did the employees know what they were doing or was it a huge hassle? if you had to argue/explain/haggle your way to a certain price fill us in on how, why, etc... and let us know of any other issues someone going later in the week should be wary of if any....
Called a shop in Atlanta yesterday and the guy said "499, eehm, no wait, 399." A friend of mine is picking one up for me to bring to Germany, told him he can go up to 499 if it's deadly necessary..
I talked to one of my local stores and was told $499....
just bumping this up for tomorrow...or today if anyone's lucky....
The stores here said.they were getting.them tomorrow; ill call one now and see what the pricing is; if I can get it for 400 off contract ill do that.

All I know is if I ordered through the premier site (business line) I qualified for an immediate 100 discount, which means I would get the same discount in stores. Could be the fact that I have a business line, but I'm not sure.
Granted, it looks like I'll be buying mine at a 3rd party reseller today since he's supposed to get it in stock and always does a sale before the release date if he can.
Also as far as I know it's $299 before a $100 MIR and AT&T lets you get the rebate on an off contract device if you have the qualifiers for data also. Which I will since I have my data plan and messaging plan.
naturefreak,
Have you found any stores local to you that are willing to sell you the phone today? I'm headed to Town Center in a couple hours..
My local store is selling it for $499 off contract OR $199 plus a $200 dollar upgrade fee. So buying off contract would cost me about 533 with tax, the other option would be about 412 but lock me into another 2 years. decisions decisions.
Pay $499 and submit the rebate for $100 back... that's what I'd try at least. As long as you have a qualifying voice/data plan I don't see why the rebate company would deny your $100 rebate...

Pay $499 and submit the rebate for $100 back... that's what I'd try at least. As long as you have a qualifying voice/data plan I don't see why the rebate company would deny your $100 rebate...

Nothing in Boca, Phone Super Store in Boynton is supposed to get it today. I've got myself on their list. They should call me the moment it arrives, I'm happy I work around the corner from there.
I'm not too worried either way. I plan on showing the lady in the store tomorrow that I can order it on Premier and get an instant $100 discount and see what she says. If she gives me a hard time I'll just pay the $100 and submit the rebate form. I'm pretty sure the rebate company will give me the $100, but if by chance they don't.. no big loss. By the way, who did you ask about the $100 rebate if paying $499.. some person in the store or at telesales?

Hey, that worked 2 years ago when I bought my Bold 9000 at full retail. I swear I buy phones way too often. Since I bought that phone I have had the 9700, the Backflip, the SE C905A, the Motorola Backflip, and now the Nexus one. Next up is clearly the beast of a machine Atrix.
FU.. thats right across the street from me. Let the guy know that you know someone else who wants one.

Customer Support. And I work for At&t at a retail store. And I've been told a million times thats a no-no.

My local store is selling it for $499 off contract OR $199 plus a $200 dollar upgrade fee. So buying off contract would cost me about 533 with tax, the other option would be about 412 but lock me into another 2 years. decisions decisions.

$200 upgrade fee? That's highway robbery!
