1) Your title date and posting date conflict - Im sure it was just a fat fingered thing.

the weird thing is at the top it says general even though i know i was just in themes. Makes me wonder if the rumor about the search button breaking is true.
Yes it was a fat finger typo.... and this thing should of been somewhere else. Mods handled it. and post # 4 wasn't there at the time. Besides that is relatively small amount of post compared to other listings like Android 2.1 release dates .lol
On a side note sorry for the discomfort.give a man a break why dont you .lol

Agreed, I can't wait to root it and do video calling as well as tethering without having to pay WAY TOO MUCH.
I totally understand trying to make a buck, to run a business, but I'm not about to pay $29 a month, for a feature, that we can probably wait and get for free. I cannot wait to get this phone!
I'm with you on the tethering issue. I was willing to pay for such a good feature if it was 10, maybe 15$ a month.. but asking 30$ is just too much.
when you say tethering is that the same as making the evo a wifi hotspot?
( I am assuming so)
I think that it stinks that they are trying to charge for that....I will wait for a workaround.....anyway...if someone is abusive with data usage, cant sprint just boot the user?
Question: do you think that by upgrading a phone via online method, that you will receive the phone sooner? or is it best to just go to the sprint store or best buy?

I was thinking the same thing about ordering the phone online @sprint. But BestBuy takes out the rebate so you don't have to pay for it. So looks like I'm going to BestBuy when this puppy comes out.

I see reports that FroYo is gonna have built-in USB tethering and Wifi Hotspot functionality. Does anyone know, if sprint for example doesn't specifically block the app, if they can determine you are using it. I am curious if they can figure out what you do on your phone or if they can just see the traffic.

I have also seen this information. With sprint offering this hotspot as an addon package it is very probable that they will probably disable it. Devs will fix that pretty quick. However I dont think if you are doing moderate surfing they will have any idea. Where it might become a problem is if you are downloading say 5-10gb worth of data a month after doing 500mb of data the previous month. They might get a little suspicious. Moral of the story.....just download 10gb every month from the get go, they will never know what hit them.

I can do this. I have been intentionally finding ways to ramp up my data usage on my iPhone. The best thing I have found is to stream classical music when I sleep on the iheartradio app. It has a nice non-verbal classical station that ensures I go to sleep and stay asleep without getting into a dead sleep I find hard to wake up from Any other ideas on ramping up my monthly usage

So you only need to increase plan for 6 months and NO tethering required.
I think I am sold. At minimum I could sell the lapdock for $200 if not more.

If you bought it on preorder it was 200... 499 -100mir for phone and dock. that's 399 - 199 = 200.

Not really sure what numbers you are talking about there, this is for the phone and the lapdock. I have seen deals for $130 for the phone by itself, but never anything in this range for the phone and lapdock together. Plus no requirement to purchase tethering.

lol wut?
it was never $200 for the phone and dock together...
It was 599 - 100 mail in rebate in the at&t stores...
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
To be accurate, what the said was 499 AFTER the 100 rebate.
They never said 599 and a 100 rebate. Anyway, that makes Nonov's math look like:
"If you bought it on preorder it was 300... 599 -100mir for phone and dock. that's 499 - 199 = 300."
Which is what people have been saying for months.
From the OP, the letstalk bundle is 450, 50 off ATT. With an additional 200 off, thats 250. If you put the worth of the phone at 200, as Nonov did, this makes the laptop 50.
Ah, remember when everyone was throwing rumors of 150/150 for phone/laptop dock? But eh, it's the last push for new customers for ATT.
And it was just removed. Interesting though, it made me check my account and apparently my account IS available for upgrade +$50 off. I could get an Atrix for $150 right now. Weird since I got my Captivate last summer, but I'm not complaining! Don't think I'm gonna go with the Atrix though.

Yup, got my order in just in time. I agree I am seeing "Sorry, this product is no longer available." Listing on the page.
Ugh, now LetsTalk is claiming the pricing was a mistake, according to AndroidPolice they may attempt to cancel the orders:
Update: LetsTalk/Walmart Wireless now says "this product is no longer available." When we called them, we were told the sale was a mistake. We aren’t yet sure whether the $250 price will be honored for customers who already bought the bundle.

They are only selling AT&T for another week so I'm sure it'll be discounted. You also sign additional contracts and Let's Talk is known to be a pretty iffy place to buy phones.

Agree, it seems that the current deal would give me an ETF fee of over $600 if I canceled in the first 6 months. But I can live with that.
** Update 2-28-11 **
I think I will just update this post, since I don't want upset people by gloating about this great deal.
Walmart issued me a delivery date, so I called to confirm that it was accurate. The Wal-mart rep told me that they would be honoring the deal. I thought that was pretty cool of them.
Good news, AT&T unveiled new tablet plans today. These are separate from the iPad plans.
AT&T INTRODUCES NEW MONTHLY BILLING OPTION FOR TABLETS
Customers Get First Month Free When Activating New Postpaid Plan
DALLAS, MARCH 3, 2011 - AT&T today introduced convenient new postpaid billing options for tablets. Beginning today, customers can choose between AT&T's existing prepaid billing options or the new postpaid plans. The new plans can be added to customers' existing monthly wireless statements, offering the simplicity of a single monthly bill. For a limited time, customers who activate a new postpaid $25/2 GB plan will receive the first month free[1].
The new postpaid billing option will be available across AT&T retail locations, as well as att.com, Best Buy, Fry's, select Nexcom locations, and Walmart stores nationwide.
"Tablets offer the convenience of mobile broadband virtually anywhere and our new billing options give customers the flexibility to choose how they prefer to be billed," said David Christopher, chief marketing officer, AT&T Mobility & Consumer Markets.
Customers may choose from the following options.
· Postpaid: $14.99 for 250 MB or $25 for 2 GB. Customers on the 2 GB plan who exceed their monthly data allotment will be charged $10 per 1 GB of overage. Charges will appear on customers' monthly wireless statements.
· Prepaid: $14.99 for 250 MB or $25 for 2 GB. Customers on the 2 GB plan who exceed their monthly data allotment may choose to purchase an additional 2 GB for $25. Charges will appear on customers' credit card statements.
Both options are month-to-month and do not require a long-term commitment.

Duplicate thread, (see AT&T 3G plans) Mods feel free to delete my mistake
Just wanted to let everyone know that I guess as of July 1st, if you bring in your own compatible phone to T-Mobile you can get up to the following
For $70 a month:
Unlimited Talk/ Text
Up 5GB of Data (throttled above 5GB)
Direct Link:
http://prepaid-phones.t-mobile.com/prepaid-plans
As I am currently on Verizon, I plan on getting the AT&T 4G Xperia PLAY, after my contract expires in 4 months and will most likely switch to the above plan as it will save me about $30+ a month and I will get more data and text/Voice then currently. Can confirm that the HSPA+ frequencies between TMO and AT&T are the same
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Edit: Here Althoug the above information is correct, this is the real PLAN I was talking about, my apologies a family member told me about this but sent me the wrong link. Here is the real deal.
My apologies the links i gave you were not for the real deals.
****Here is the link detailing everything. Good until Nov 13 2012****
http://slickdeals.net/f/4793292-t-m...lassic-free-nights-weekends-to-other-t-mobile
t-mobile Value Plan $100 for 5 lines (2 unlimited talk/text/data 2GB at 4G, 3 lines 500 minutes each) via add a line $0 value, $5 classic, free nights&weekends, to other t-mobile
T-Mobile’s Back-To-School Promotion Begins July 1st
TMobile upcoming back-to-school promotion beginning July 1st offering promotional family plans with $5 Classic and $0 Value add-a-lines through November 13th, 2012. This promotional offering will offer savings of $5 per month, until January 2, 2014.
The promo offer is good for all Classic and Value plans that have shared limited buckets of minutes and the 500-minute AAL on unlimited family plans. Free nights and weekends, and other t-mobile.
Notes/Fine prints:•Good for both new and existing customers, and of course it requires a two-year contract. Existing customers will be required to change their existing rate plan and extend their contract on all lines to take advantage of this promo. A quick reminder that a contract extension for a rate plan change does not affect your upgrade date for a new phone
•No grandfathered features (no myfav, no tzone, no web2go, no ...etc).
•Tax+fees depending on your location, +12% in CA. Some military or corp -5% to -20% discount.
•You do NOT need to get all 5 lines, but current promo gives you 3rd, 4th and 5th discount until Jan 2, 2014. Pricing will not change if you only get less line. After Jan 2nd, 2014, you will have to pay $5 extra for each 3rd, 4th and 5th.
•Once you are on Value plan, current t-mobile policy will not allow you to get back to plan which offer subsidy in future. So once you are in value plan, you will always have to buy devices yourself.
http://www.tmonews.com/2012/06/t-...-july-1st/
Best deal on value plan. Corp, military discount can be applied.

Classic plan also have this promo benefit, but monthly will be slightly more, BUT YOU GET BETTER DISCOUNT on smartphone. Value plan customer needs to buy smartphone at "retail price". In my location, costco retail price on smartphone is cheaper than t-mobile retail store.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
HOW TO GET THIS DEAL
A.If you are still in contract t-mobile customer, call t-mobile directly for the add-on promo. If you are interested in value plan, they will have to check if you qualify for value plan. Check migration fees below. For NEW customer, I would recommend going personally to costco or tmobile retail store. Update, just learn this myself on 7/5: You can get this online. Put the package into the cart first and then customize each line at checkout.
B. IF you are interested in value plan and planning to get a smartphone at costco, eg Samsung S3, do steps below:
1. First make sure you qualify: out of t-mobile contract or less than 6 months left on t-mobile contract or new t-mobile customer or currently value plan customer wanting add-a-line, AND (access to costco membership and data plan)
2. Goto local costco. Tell them that you wanted value plan and wanted smartphones as well, eg Samsung S3 ~$390 each. Do your transactions. New activation is free, not sure about existing add-a-line customer. Sim is free.
3. Go home, make sure everything works and happy. If you have corp/military/eduction discount..etct, then call t-mobile CS. They should be able to apply for you.
4. T-mobile retention may not help you as much because of value plan. They may lower down the phone price, BUT t-mobile retail smartphones are generally more expensive to start with, eg: Samsung S3 is $630 vs costco at $390.
C. You DO NOT need to goto costco to get the value plan and classic plan deal. You can get value plan or classic plan along with smartphone anywhere, eg: t-mobile store, amazon wireless, walmart, ...etc. Major differences is the pricing of the smartphone. Where and when (eg: black friday) you signup or extend your contract determines your smartphone "discount" price. You can always buy at independent market like google nexus at google play or ebay or craigslist or amazon store. Costco is only mentioned here because they have great smartphone price when u activate/signup there.
My experience shows that being nice to the salesperson or cs makes getting the deal easier, especially retention

Click to expand...

Can I ask though, is that for a 3 year contract? And... these above prices are way cheaper then what Verizon charges.... which is BS. I have 4 family members on a single plan, $250 for 4 phones with unlimited data...... talk about grabbing your ankles.
No its a telus pre paid package
Yes. Mobile packages in America suck. But there is price collusion between all the networks so we have no real choice.
