[Q] How much for a mytouch 4g?

Ok so here is whats going on..
I live in Toronto and is using mobilicity(same frequency as T-mobile)
I currently have the mytouch 3g slide, i got it off the flee market.
I loved the phone so much and i have been reading about the mytouch 4g that i want to upgrade.
Now my question is where is the cheapest place to get a Brand New mytouch 4g unlocked?
I know T-mobile sometimes unlocks their phones for free but my question with them is that on their site i cant get the phone without a contract.
I am willing to drive to buffalo to an actual T-mobile store but what is their price on the phone with no contract?
Thanks in advance

Well that depends if you want new then I recommend buying from TMobile as you will have remorse and warranty without contract for 450+tax total 480 or so. Using website you can't order it as you have to call it in and order it via phone or go in to the local store. Now if you want to buy new or mint like conditions for cheaper price then try Craigslist or eBay which is selling for $350-400. You have higher chance of getting washed out display which you will have issues now if you don't care about it then just buy it. Far as unlocking goes you can do radio s=off yourself and sim unlock it.

I got mine on craigslist 290

I got mine for 350 on cl new in case right after I returned the Nexus S to Best Buy.
Best phone yet hands down.

Well 350 is the avg price but the thing is what will you do when you get bad display?

Thanks a lot guys for clearing that up a bit for me.
I think i might go with buying a brand new one,
I'm the kind of guy who likes to have things from the start and since i don't see myself getting another phone for a while i think it will be better off to get it new

Cl for $250 new from a tmobile rep, was unopened when I purchased it. May try a costco or sams, im looking into a two year contract and can get another mytouch 4g, or g2 for 99
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App

I've had a couple of chances to buy them off CL in barely used condition for $250ish, but average price seems to be about $300.

Ive looked in Craiglist around my area and the cheapest I've found was 400, i dont want to order from ebay because my visa is currently over due
for 400 i think id rather just buy it from T-mobile.
But once again thanks for tips and your thoughts

Shop more carefully. Post a WANT AD instead and you'll get lower prices. Worked for me. But then again I live in the SF Bay Area where CL was born, so there's a lot of action.
Check this one out - this one is within driving distance of me.

The best thing I like about CL is the false advertisement to lure folks in each threads by the seller. How they claim its new then when you go inside you see its used lol it can't be new (NIB) but its used morons. Don't waste your time with CL with 1st batch still out in large go pay the full price if money is not object for you or get it via EIP though tmobile I am guessing they have like 30-35 smaller payments.
Now I wouldn't mind buying it of CL year later but not even at that price as most idiots do want 350 for device that should be 150 due to time but they want the price they bought it for lol you have to love people who has 0 to no experience in sale department.

If you do your due diligence as a buyer and inspect the product it's fine. Just like buying a used car.
I bought a mt3g on CL for $200 and sold it on CL 9 months later with accessories for $200. Then a couple weeks later I picked up my gf's Captivate for $200 and in a year I'll probably sell it for $250.
I'm a perfectly straightforward and honest buyer and seller. Post a want ad to buy then post a sale ad to sell. This isn't rocket science.

lol I actually completely agree with this. Just two months ago I wanted to buy a N1 and people wanted $350-$400 for them. I even had to prove to one guy that they were $529 at full retail not even a year ago. SMH...

Its not that i dont shop carfully.
I live in Toronto, theres probably only a few people selling around here and they want 400+ especially since "It's not out in Canada".
When i check buffalo and that area there are only a few low priced phone which are used and when i tried contacting them they where already sold.

Best place to Upgrade to EVO?

I've currently got a Hero CDMA and I am looking at picking up the EVO 4G today.
Curious to know if anyone can recommend the cheapest places to upgrade. It looks like Sprint direct will get me at $199 after a mail in rebate, but Best Buy also says $199 and doesn't mention a rebate at all.
Any other suggestions? I am thinking Best Buy is my best bet.

Check at Radio Shack, also AMAZON

Do it at Best Buy for sure. They make the mail in rebate instant, so what the price tag says is what you pay in the store. Much more convenient than having to deal with the mail in rebate.

Radio Shack matched the $199 in store. I'd do Amazon but I'm not looking to mail order.
I'll probably pick it up at Best Buy in a few hours...time to start researching the good roms for a new platform.

Go with best buy.....but keep saying no to their insurance ....they tell you they replace it on the spot, then when you do need a new phone they tell you they need to mail it out.....hasn't happened to me personally but I have read about too many best buy insurance horror stories to ever go with that...I would stick with sprints TEP

Have you considered Amazon? Not only is the EVO 179.99 for upgrade, but it's also tax-free in many states and comes with two day shipping.
EDIT: Sorry I didn't see that you already bought it.

He is right. I got a deal sometime last month for $99.99 , activation fee waived, and free shipping overnight. You can't beat this. I got very lucky. I would wait just to see that offer come back again. Shoot, if I see again I am getting my wife one too.

Epic down to $19.99

new from store... 499 at sprint... that doesnt go down... or 699 at radio shack like they said above lol.

Do anyone know how long this offer is for? My wife got an optimus last week and its been having problems. So I'm thinking about getting her one of these Epics.
I'm just hoping sprint don't charge me a restocking fee. After all the optimus isn't working correctly. People on the other end of the phone can't hear her.

I worked for radioshack for 3 years. I deeply loathe that place. Please people don't buy your phones at radioshack. Its all they care about and those prices are so low because district managers pressure associates into not selling phones unless you get accessories with it. Don't believe me? Go ahead and try it. I guarantee you the salesman will turn you away not sell you the handset if you don't get something alongside with it.
Bottom line. Get your phones online. I bought both of my epics back in november for 100? If im not mistaken off of letstalk.com. amazon normally has awesome deals too. Save yourself the hassle of being hassled and don't put money into these corporate pigs pockets.

I still have (and still using) my TouchPro2. (due for a upgrade for a long time)
This looks like a good deal! but what are the chances of a new EPIC2 or a better QWERTY smartphone coming out very soon?!

Yes. The guy at my local radio shack was pushing me towards an Evo. Boo! he said there was no other phone in its class. I said what about the epic? And he just kinda scoffed and said it was a decent phone.

we have 3 lines rt. now. one for my son, my wife, and myself.
If I wanted to get my wife an epic for this deal, (she currently has the transform) and we're not eligible for an upgrade, how 'could' we go about it ?? I don't believe there is a way without committing to a 4th line, rt ?
just cuious how some of you would accomplish this.

It bad. You get harassed and your job threatened everyday. Your NEVER good enough in that place. For those interested or want to work there this is what you will experience.
Radioshack gets angry if you don't sell they're quota of phones a day. If you sell your phone by itself they get angry. I you sell a phone with accessories (and they have a minimum like 20-40 bucks), cool. Now did you get the warranty? No? Your not good enough. Here's a write up. I remember when the i4 came out and they said it was mandatory to sell the 70$ applecare with it. Lol. Oh and don't forget about the plethora of other **** you gotta do there besides earn commission selling cell phones. Which is essentially the only real way to make money there.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

jeez, I've never had an issue buying a phone at radio shack. I've never bought accessories there and they just seemed happy I was getting a phone.

Lovely.. i'm within 30 days.. now I get to see if i can get best buy to price match/guarantee, or return it (stupid restocking fee) and get it for $100 cheaper.. if it was $20-40 difference I wouldn't bother, but $100.. that's worth some time to get my money back.

Amazon Electronics Trade In

Hey guys, with the upcoming 3D coming out, I thought some of you may find this interesting. Amazon has an electronics trade in program where they will pay up to $187 for a white evo and $114.50 for a black evo. They won't pay actual cash, but will give you amazon credit (which if they sell the evo 3D, then who cares). I know you can probably sell it for more thru ebay, craigslist, etc, but for those who just want to get it done with, here's an option.
Here's a link to the evo page on amazon:

Now I am leaning towards the S II and it appears AT&T will have it but not so sure about Sprint. Plus on my Evo 4G, Wimax is great when I can get a decent signal, but keeping the connection has been a problem (e.g. in car or more than a few feet away from a window).
I had AT&T previously and never had any significant service issues. But I have no idea what type of HSPA+ speeds I'll get or if the connection holds any better than Wimax.
I will probably just wait until after the 3D and S II are both launched and see the reviews on performance.

Yes, you only get the $150 if you are upgrading. I tried to sell my phone to them, and they said I must be upgrading to a new phone.

I thought it was already leaked that Sprint is gonna get it? It's supposed ot be called the Within.
On another note, I just checked the Amazon Trade In program on the 19th and the black EVO was valued at $209. It freaking dropped in price like a mofo. I guess it was a mistake or alot of peeps started trading them in already getting ready for the 3D.

when the evo dropped last year, Best Buy was selling the hero for $29 (the phone I had just paid over $150 for with an upgrade). talk about being sh**ted on (got hero in January, got Evo the day it released)

Not sure about phones, but I am planning on selling 2 of my old digital cameras I have laying around. Amazon cash is just as good as real cash in my house.

If you are planing to upgrade through sprint then I would do the Sprint upgrade program... If you are going with a different carrier then use amazon, eBay or craigslist ... my 2cents

$50.

It's a well known secret but now that it was put on blast on the main EVO 4G board, better call them quick before they remove the offer.
I can personally confirm I called that number (It's posted on a topic in the 3D EVO board) and they reset my upgrades for the full amount on both my lines. I became a Sprint member a few weeks after the EVOs launch. Just ask nicely. Don't be a douche. I gave them the line "I was expecting an full upgrade for my primarly line" The rep said she can definitely help with that and even offered to reset my girlfriend's line as well.
So in summary:
Full upgrades reset by said number
Preorder EVO 3D at Target mobile ($50 deposit)
Trade EVO 4G at Target mobile for $150
Get EVO 3D for $50 (Which was already paid with the preorder)
See you suckers on launch day. You snooze you lose.

Read the WIKI at that link for more Q&A stuff...but you guys can easily sell your EVOs for $200 - $300 on craigslist!

the deal looks legit but i won't be able to take advantage of it. i used my upgrade in may for the nexus, then returned it and got an evo instead last weekend. how many times can you exchange phones at best buy? i wouldn't mind using my upgrade on the 3d or another upcoming device like the gs2. i know i have 30 days to turn the phone back in.
im also expecting a call from dan's office at sprint tomorrow so ill wheel and deal them as well.

It won't hurt to try. Tell them you want to preorder the evo 3D because you were waiting for a better phone. Hence the return.

I only see a cheap way to get a 3d is if your do for a full upgrade and trade your evo in then you would get a 3d cheap. Sucks tho if your still under contract.
