How much did you pay: $50, $60 after tax, I had a samsung intercept, found out it had a crappy armv6 processor (no flash, firefox, lots of other cool apps) and took it back. There was a deal at radio shack, turn in a phone regardless of value, and get $50 off, so I returned the Intercept, there was both my money back and $50 off, and a crappy feature phone that they told us was worth $5 previously, another $50 off. I made out like a bandit.

How much did your G2 cost you?

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

How much did this phone cost you?

I pre-ordered the Atrix using AT&T's web store for $320.99 after tax. I assumed the packaging would include a $100 mail in rebate since I'd see the phone advertised for $199 everywhere else.
When I got the phone, there was no rebate material in the box.
I then called AT&T and asked for the $100 rebate. They said I needed to go to an AT&T store to get the rebate. This afternoon, I went to an AT&T store and they said there is no rebate unless you buy the dock. I called AT&T again to complain and they explained I would have to return my phone and buy a new one to get the $199 price. Unfortunately, my sister threw out my packaging so it seems I now spent $320 on a $200 phone. Major bummer.
Does this seem idiotic to anyone else?
So, were any of you guys screwed in a similar way?
I wasn't upgrade eligible but the AT&T website automatically gave me the early upgrade price of $299 and also an instant online discount of $100 so I paid 217 total with taxes. I was actually ready to buy off contract for $499 but it wouldn't give me the option. I recommend you call back and try another rep. I've heard of others that have received the discount after complaining.
i never buy from att anymore, i buy from best buys. they charge you for the phone at the same price as att but without needing a rebate, plus they tax you only on that amount not on the full retail like att does.
Costco. 119.00 plus tax. They even threw in a cheap wired headset and holster.

originally quoted down to $299 over the phone for a "special" early upgrade price because I am not eligible til 2/12.
I ended up having the opportunity to port a dummy business line and have my boss pay for the pay increase. They allowed me to use the line activation to get the atrix on my line and then buy a go phone for the new line. I brought in an amazon print out for $149 and they said they couldn't match but would give me 25 off. so all in all I made out great. LOVE the phone btw. makes my crappy completely forgettable.
$325 unactivated with my employee discount

FREE!!!!!!!
was due for an upgrade like a year ago, my iphone crapped out on me and I had no money. Went into brandsmart and got an HTC Aria for a penny with my contract renewal, the lady didnt feel like breaking my $20 bill so I got the aria for free this past November. When the atrix came out my next upgrade wasnt till 2012, but when I looked at it on att website it was giving it to me for $200, so I ordered it. I then sold my HTC Aria on ebay and recouped my $200 thus making the Atrix free. this phone is incredible!!!!! couldnt be happier!!!
Always check best buy first no matter who u use. Usually any mail in rebates any carrier gives u will be an instant rebate at best buy.

$99 from AT&T online. Don't know how but I was coming from a nexus one and the price showed $99 so I preordered

Wow this has been a pretty enlightening threat. I've learned to never pre-order and just buy from Costco instead.
My debacle was resolved last night. I found my packaging in the trash at home and brought it to a local AT&T corporate store. They said I had to return the phone and buy a new one in order to get my $100+ back. All told it was a pretty ridiculous process but at least I ended up buying it for $199 eventually. Also, now i have another Atrix I need to root and setup to my liking. Oh well.
$99 from Amazon.com
$249 from a local reseller.
Traded a desire hd that I bought off craig list for 400.

$149 from local AT&T store. Wasn't upgrade eligible yet, but they agreed to allow early upgrade and price match local retailers, and Radio Shack was running them at $149. AT&T website had them at $199 at the time.
$106.49, tax included, on launch day (Feb 22) at an AT&T store.
Had a 100 dollar off upgrade on one of the lines of my family plan.
540 USD (include tax) at AT&T-Miami store (No contract).
Costco: $119+tax.
Went back a week later to get a new Atrix (old one was messed up) and saw that they had it for $99. I got $20 back on my CC. In the end:
$99+tax. (Costco price for upgrade or new line).
One billion dollars

Evo 4G, $29.95 at Radio Shack (On Line)

I noticed late last night, and still this morning, the Evo4G is now $29.95 on the Radio Shack website for either new Sprint 2-year contracts, or for eligible 2-year renewals.
The only difference is new customers get free shipping, while renewals pay $10.00 for standard FedEx.
Based on what I've seen in the past, it'll probably go back up after the holiday. It dropped to $99.00 at Christmas, and never got down to that again until the 3vo came out.

Thanks for the heads up man. Just got my aunt an EVO for $40.
I just ordered one for my wife. Best deal I could find on the net for a renewal.
Just found that, here in Denver anyway, the price is also good in Radio Shack stores, through July 9 (with a "while supplies last" caveat). If it's true where you are, you can save the shipping fee, and since it's in the print ad, other retailers may match it.

are there any special for non renewal prices? would like to upgrade my wife to an evo but 2 year isn't up yet
Got mine from Best Buy for free also last week.
Did they do away with their rebate program still? I remember around the holidays, folks were price matching radio shack's $99, then doing the $100 rebate too.

If she's over 1 year, but not to the two year yet, call Sprint on this number:
(877)775-4886
Ask for a manual override of her upgrade date. You may need to explain that she was affected by the change in the Sprint Premier plan, but generally this staff has proven quite willing to push forward upgrades for people with over 12 months, and less than 22.
Once they put the new renewal date int he system, you can do your upgrade at Radio Shack, or wherever you like.
