It gets worse... 4G is gonna cost us $10 a month, it looks like... And not sure if its an option for the plan or not, it may just be an addon for buying the phone...
Looks like we get video chat!!!!

UPDATE*:
It might be that the $10 add-on is for Business Plans that only pay 59.99 a month.... Lets for f*** sake hope thats what they mean.
Am I correct in understanding this? You $100 mail-in rebate. You get $150 off for signing a 2 year contract. If you are eligible for the $150 upgrade rebate can you use this as well so that the cost would only be $49 after the mail-in rebate?
I have only a few mths into my new contract and I got the Hero in october. I'll be paying full price for one.
fail.
But it seems that I'll be able to get a pretty penny for mine on ebay. Especially since its been in a full phone screen protector since I bought it.

Well **** -- it looks like we're paying $10 extra a month, just for having the phone on a plan. Damnit Sprint, I knew you were gonna screw this up somehow...

Its still only 80 dollars a month for "4G" plus free mobile to mobile, text messages, and data.
Not the end of the world.
$10 for 4g isn't bad. They said it wouldn't cost more but at least it's somewhat reasonable.
Charging that for every evo regardless if that service is available or not is about the dumbest thing could do and will cost them subs they so desperately need right now.
I'm really not sure if I'm willing too pay an extra $120 pet year without 4g service.

This is the problem that I see. A ton of people want this phone but don't live in 4G, yet are charged for it... Kinda sucks. But I guess it's the same if you live in 1x, and you buy a smartphone, you still pay 3g.
Anyone see anywhere what the retail price will be for this phone yet?

Wow!! Rebates are now going to take longer than normal. Soon it's going to be 1 yr before you get a rebate
Wait and see what Wirefly and Amazon offer.I think they had the Droid Incredible for $149 or $199 flat out no rebates on Amazon.
So that $150 off they mention is for agreeing to a 2 year contract and not using your upgrade rebate? That would mean you could get it for $49 after the mail-in rebate if you are eligible for the upgrade rebate. That would be a great price!
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 don't even live in a country that supports this phone, but I don't think you guys who do should miss this deal: http://www.androidpolice.com/2010/10/18/hot-samsung-epic-4g-now-also-99-99-on-amazon-com/
What we’re looking at today is a brand new Epic 4G for $99.99 on a new 2-year contract, with free 2-day shipping and no tax. Amazon is also temporarily waiving the $36 activation fee until the end of today. Unfortunately, existing customers are out of luck, as Amazon doesn’t yet offer contract extensions for Sprint devices.

$789.99 month to month
$649.99 if you sign for a plan $20-$35 a month
$599.99 if you sign for a plan $50-$80 a month
1g for 20, 3g for $35, 5g for $50, and 10g for $80
So i guess my $699 was close, but was missing a lot of info...
Are those contract plans? Why would it be more than Verizons contract plan of 599?

Costco + More Expensive than Verizon = very suspect
Couldn't those be the price points for a 1yr and 2yr contract?

Agreed, but with the game of price-swap going on and the fact the price isnt showing up on Verizon or Motorola’s website, leads me to think that this game might not be over. Less than 24 hours out, you’d think we’d see “for realsies” prices on web sites by now.
Yesterday was a “good news” day for the Xoom, lets hope that today isnt more akin to the days that preceeded it. This launch could have gone so much smoother...

The real important question is how much is the ETF??!! If it's the standard $200 then a contract is worth considering. If it's Verizon's new more expensive ETF, then no contract is a no brainer.

"the Motorola XOOM will be available for purchase from Verizon Wireless for $599.99 with a new two-year customer agreement or $799.99 without a contract. Wireless 3G data service for the Motorola XOOM will begin at $20 monthly access for 1GB."

But still worth it for the 90 day return policy. Will be swapping out for the wi-fi version immediately upon release.
I don't know what i'm going to do.. I really want the 90 day return policy, but Costco doesn't take VISA as payment.. Guess i'll have to get a cash advance from the bank before I head over to Costco.

I'm in the same boat. The thing I'm taking as higher importance is the warranty extension my Visa card gives me if I pay with it. I won't get the same thing if I pay with a debit card or cash.
Check the costco thread, someone is saying it's only a 14 day return period from costco on the xoom.

You are purchasing a product, products are taxed, you pay the taxes, not the business. This happens in 90% of all cases where a product is sold in a state that you live in. The only way to avoid, is to purchase online, from a company that does not have a physical location in your state.
In Wisconsin my pre order taxed me at $18.15 off of the sprint Web site. I wonder if my state will utilise my taxes in an open and honest fashion. ..eh probably not here either, but I'm happy it wasn't $52, that is robbery.

Everyone I order a phone from Sprint.com I get charged state, city and county tax. It's a ridiculous amount. If I got a corporate Sprint store the taxes aren't ad much compared to the Sprint website.
For me, it's better to order elsewhere than Sprint.com.
I got charged ~$50 in TX.
