[Q] Radio Shack-Cheaper than Tmobile?

So Ive heard that the G2 will be available at some point in Radio Shack stores. Has anyone upgraded a phone through Radio Shack? If the price is really 150 with an upgrade (not a brand new contract) I can wait. If this only applies to a new contract I'm preordering with out delay.
I'm dying to get this phone someone help a brotha out!

http://www.engadget.com/2010/09/13/t-mobile-g2-gets-150-price-tag-at-radio-shack/
I've never bought a phone through Radio Shack but yeah it'll be $149.

Thanks for the link. Stll wondering if that applies to a 2 year upgrade or brand new contract. I enjoyed the G1 and actually got it for $150 through T-Mobile. Im not trying to spend 200 bucks on this phone but I will if I have to. Sorry for the question everyone, I just feel so dumb when the device is 50 bucks cheaper somewhere else or cause you get it at a later time.

My buddy works at RadioShack and apparently his store isn't doing preorders, so call around first to see which stores are accepting preorders. Proceed to ask them if current T-Mo subscribers are eligible.
Happy hunting!

according to the press release, it'll be new contracts only for best buy.. not sure about Radio Shack though

Can't you get a $50 mail-in-rebate from TMobile anyway?
...Many said they got that in the "I just preordered" thread.

If Radioshack is offering the phone at a lower price it will most definitely be for new customers and usually existing customers that are past 22 months since their last discounted upgrade.

i talked to some friends that work for radioshack and it will be 150 for an upgrade but they didnt say how long you had to have been on your contract to get the upgrade. i guess the best way is to wait til launch day and try to get one and see if your eligible for the pricing

^Thats good to hear, I'll be checking them out.
Wish tmob corp stores would sell at same price tho.

So looks like its 199 for upgrade price at the shack but they'll sell it on 10/3

Im getting it from the shack for 150 also, i have the N1 on the everything+ plan, and i don't feel like shelling out another 500 bucks, so ill be hopping onto a contract and ditching my new epic! #****sprintandthatstupid$10fee

If you are upgrading get it through T-mobile, thats what I did.
Just call 611 and say "retention" when it asks what you're calling about.
I told the retention rep that radioshack was offering it for $150 without rebate but they
weren't offering pre-orders and asked if I could pre-order for that price.
It is gonna cost me $180 after tax but I was told by my local T-mo store that I
should still be able to get the Mail in rebate which would bring my total cost down to $130

Really you got the best deal so far if you do get the rebate.
I saw some people call loyalty to get it for 150 plus tx, free ship, waived upgrade fee.
But I havent see anyone get the rebate on top of that to be at 130.
You should call for me haha, I'll give it a try to see what happens.

Loyalty gave me $99+tax with no upg fee. All in the form of a $180 credit on my account. I elected for $5.99 shipping which somehow mysteriously got upgraded to 3 day select. Now i'm wondering if I could also try processing the $50 rebate, but that's probably pushing it.

I was gonna buy it in the store on the sixth but after reading what you guys paid now I'm thinking I may pre-order it Friday.
Question: When I call should I ask for "loyalty" or "retention" in order to get a better deal. I've been with T-Mobile for more than seven years and have never even been late with a payment. I've been out of contract for the last three years but really don't want to pay full price for this phone. Advice is welcome.

I think either will do, if you have been with them for 7 years they will give you a good deal no matter what. I think what helped me was saying "I really want to get a EVO 4G but if I can get a good deal on the G2 I would like to stay with T-mobile"

Ok I called and got it for 149+tax=164, no ship or upgrade fee, I'm happy with that.
No go on 99 tho, I tried but I did use ogbrogs 'sprint evo' line to get my deal.
Thx for the heads up people!

how do tmobile stores not have a display unit
come on tmobile marketing. people are getting the phone and radioshack is getting it the 3rd

Glad my tip helped, you might still be able to get the $50 Mail in rebate By going to
www.tmobilerebates.com , it's worth a try.

Best Buy Preorder

Was the first art local store in reading Pa. Associate said they would call when they arrived to set a time to come in and pick it up. They said they would install a screen protector and have everything ready ahead of time if I know what I want when they call.
Hope everyone else has a smooth visit this morning.

No just 50.

My question is, how do we purchase it for 800, the advertised price? If you can't, isn't that false advertising?

Something to keep in mind with this pre-order deal.
Most credit cards offer some kind of warranty. My american express for instance extends the manufacturers warranty by 1 year, the first three months is protected by theft and accidental damage protection insurance.
The catch? The entire purchase must be made on the card. So if you put $50 down as a pre-order, and they give you a gift card, and you return to purchase it using the gift card, essentially you are only putting $750 of the $800 on your card and thus the extended warranty / damage protection aren't eligible.
I've used the 90 days damage protection and the extended warranty. They issued a full refund to my card both times.
Just something else to consider with the pre-order deal.

Just preordered one over at the Rockaway, NJ location, smooth as butter. No issues, very straight forward. I was the 2nd person to preorder one. Can't wait to get my hands on it!

The pre order money is put on a gift card and does not need to be used at time of purchase.
I was hoping the free trade program was in place still but it expires before the launch.
At 100 dollars I believe selling it myself will net me dramatically more. I expect to get less for the convienence however find charging me for the option is a joke.

I was hoping our local stores would have some kind of model in stock to show off.. I was dissapointed.

I went to the Montgomery, Al store. I was the first one there to pre-order. I walked over to the mobile department and asked to pre-order the Xoom. The saleswoman asked for my phone number to call me when it comes out. She charged my $50 for the gift card and asked me what time I wanted to set up an appointment. I told her and then asked if my 10% off coupon would work (it said "No contract phones"). She said "Yes, it shouldn't be a problem. If not, I will do something, it is only 10%". So I took my receipt and left. 4-5 min. total.

What 10% coupon is this? I asked if they would match Costco if they are indeed $100 cheaper, they said they should be able to.
I was planning on using my AMEX card too for the extended warranty - Have to see if I can just trade someone $50 bucks for the giftcard.

I would like to know about this coupon too. I just preordered at Best in the West Best Buy in Las Vegas.. Store 122 I think. I plan to buy from Costco if I can, but I wanted to hedge my bets. I can always use the giftcard towards a case and dock. I want the speaker dock, but I don't think I can justify 130$ total, technically 80$ just for speakers.
Interestingly.. the spelling errors went to print.

Oh sorry, I should have mentioned: I am a BB Reward Zone Silver Member. They send out coupons every once in a while. Mine is good during the launch date. (Actually I think it is good until the 24th )

Oh okay. Most of BB's stuff is way overpriced, so I am not willing to spend the kind of money to become a silver member. I guess it's good they give you something for paying their prices

Yeah I agree, I don't usually buy that much from them anymore... just big stuff that you can't really get cheap anywhere else (i.e. MacBook Pro). It also helps when you have known the managers at the stores for 5-9 years. They generally help make things reasonable for their loyal customers. However, I still think the Xoom is overpriced, but the 10% makes it more tolerable. Did anyone notice any accessories in stock at their BB?

I didn't see any accessories in stock. But I have never seen accessories in stock for a device prior to release. Hell, for the EVO I recall they barely had anything in stock on release day. Based on the preorder form, I imagine they are going to have the portfolio case SKU 2103374 and the Standard Dock SKU 2129336 at release. 4 more days.. I CAN'T WAIT!!!!

It didn't make sense, but when I stopped in to pre-order at the Jacksonville, FL Airport Best Buy, I was told by the associate that my final price would be $600 or $800 depending on CONTRACT.
Did carrier subsidies start on non-phone devices for contracts? It that the debacle about activation and reactivation?
I suppose, with something like device + activation being $635, plus $20x12, $240. I would still eat a $40 charge on subsidy for a larger up-front discount, for the crap plan.
Activating that, and tethering to my Incredible. Otherwise PlayOn/Netflix will break the bank.
I guess he could have read enough to know the price for the wifi version, and just spouted that off as well.
The fine print on their Buy Back promotion being free another week, which I just caught after suggesting it to people, just because it's free, says at the Best Buy Mobile stores, for applying it to tablets. So, if you really want $400 back in six months, or the option in case resale goes down in a flooded market, buy at a Best Buy Mobile.
Now to wait for Thursday!

You must be careful. The first person I talked to spewed general information because they thought the XOOM was a phone.

t-mobile needs to communicate better
After reading about how only certain markets were getting the phone, I called the store closest to me to see if they would be getting plenty of stock. I live in Chicago, and there are literally a dozen t-mobile stores within 2 miles of me. So I called the store to inquire, and they told me they wouldn't get getting any - and this is at a semi-flagship store in the Loop. I accepted that I wouldn't be getting the phone for another week, but later decided I can't wait and called a second store. That employee told me that the Chicago *AREA* would be getting the phone, just not any of the stores downtown. Wa-huh? He then offered to give me a list of stores that would have some in stock and told me I should call around and see if I could get on any waiting lists. The very first store I called told me they would be getting 75 units, took my name and told me they would guarantee me a phone. Sending the wife down there around opening time...we'll see. I'm not holding my breath.
This...is a half-assed launch.

5123 S Pulaski. It's right off of I-55 so it's actually pretty easy to get to.

Gotta find out a way to "convince" the wife I "need" this over my GN lol. Then, must find a store in San Diego that has one. Shouldn't be too hard to find as there are like a million Tmo stores here...
--edit-- out of those million stores, San Diego got a shipment of 75 blue 16gb's to one store and in 2 hrs they sold 60 of 75. Jeez...

I have a good one. Drop my wireless bill buy going with the $30/month for 100 minutes/ unlimited text and 5GB of Data. Get a voip and give everyone my google voice number. Forward GV to my Voip, when I'm out and about. And use WiFi calling when being in the house.
Should easily be able to stay below the minutes
So save $30/month. After 10 months I have saved $300. Sell my vibrants and geeksphone and I will be even.

wifi calling still uses minutes so keep using voip.

I'm gonna wait a month before I actually get one, and that will be from eBay. Current prices are more expensive than the international one even, and of course only a handful of sellers and limited quantity. What I really want to do right now is actually see the damn thing in person, be it the AT&T store, Sprint store, T-mobile store, Verizon store, etc... They are all the exact same anyway, besides the radio of course. Spending months anticipating and reading about a phone, I am prepared to be very disappointed, but am also hopeful it will exceed the lower expectations I have set. After researching and subsequently buying and owning smartphones for a while, one becomes more and more cynical. Maybe I'm just diffficult to please. The Galaxy S II was far from what I imagined, and I would judge it much more harshly than all the reviews I've read. But then again, I've owned some other phones from other brands, and even though I hated some of the GS2 flaws, you gain perspective that this is actually as good as its gonna get, because most of the other phones are just terrible in comparison. It's like choosing the lesser of two evils.
I'm rocking my old Samsung slider phone circa 2007. I still love this thing. No phone has matched it yet. Not even close.

I figured out over a two year period it's only going to be saving me $340 to buy a contract free phone from T-mobile and use the $30 plan vs two year subsidized contract on ATT. That doesn't figure in any extra minutes over 100 that I might use every month. I never use more than 200 or so minutes on my ATT plan now so I have a lot of rollover minutes. I think in the end it might be worth more than $340 just to know I'm not locked in a contract. Still deciding. (currently I using a iPhone w/ ATT 400 minutes / grandfathered unlimited and a G Nexus testing the $30 plan).

1. Motorola W418G Reconditioned ( you have to buy PLAN with this but then you can flip it on Ebay for $15-$20 :angel
2. LG 620G Reconditioned

YOU WELLCOME! Thnx button is Down there!

Lmao done. Sometimes it's the simple things we forget to do.

Anyone know if this is still good. And just purchasing the card you do not pay for the monthly bill until you activate, correct?

They went ahead and changed the price of the sims to 9.99. They still waive the fedex 3 day ground so thats another bonus. Just 9.99 plus tax now

They finally figured it out.
Good that I bought one extra.
Thnx for the input guys.
Will change thread topic when I get on real world OS.

Semi off-topic, but for those using the ST network. Other than the obvious of using a compatible phone. If the phone is pentaband, or even just able to run T-mo HSPA, do you have to use the T-mo comp. SIM card, or will the "unlocked phone" sim work just fine?
I personally am not going to switch as I have everything I need from T-mo, but asking mostly for a friend whom I may be selling one of my S2's to. It will either be a T-mo S2, or a ATT skyrocket, both of which will be unlocked.

Free sim with 1 month plan
You can use this to still get a free SIM with 1 month plan purchase. It expired for only the sim as price was reduced to $9.99. Must buy Sim+Plan together then use code. Free Shipping still works also. I did this today (8 Nov 2012) More detail here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=33862615#post33862615
OP: If you want to add this info to the first post and have me remove this link I will be happy to just send me a PM.

Yupp mine just got delayed to the 29th here in Sweden on Tele2 I already had my Z1 sold so my old dumbpjone will have to act as my replacement for awhile.

It's not just UK, It's everywhere. I am in China and trying to get the Taiwan version and they are out of stock.

Delayed as well
I actually work in a Phones4U store and we've had no advertising through for the Z2 at all so it's likely delayed in stores a fair bit longer and those that pre-ordered will receive their handset on the 22nd.
Gutting really as I've the day off tomorrow and was looking forward to playing with a shiny new Z2!
EVERYTHING is about the S5 in stores so I really hope Sony get their act together soon or it'll be a massive head start for Samsung.

On three website it says estimate delivery 1st May so it might be longer than what you expect

I pre ordered on three website on the 4th April & the confirmation email said it would be delivered on or around the 1st May. It not that long a wait.

Hmm, got a feeling the same delay may apply to Carphone Warehouse orders too.
Will be amazed to get an email on Monday to say its on its way but either way its gonna be worth the wait even if it is mid May until I receive the phone

did you upgrade with three or did you get new contract? if you upgraded what did they offer?

I upgraded on three. Free phone, free speaker, 300 mins, unlimited text and data. 41 a month. Was originally to be delivered today, but now says 1st May.

It was a new contract, vodafone contract will be cancelled in the last month of it, three are doing a Sony speaker that is wifi, bluetooth & NFC enabled & costs about £119 & it also comes with the premium in ear noise cancelling earphones. Pretty decent package but to be honest I would rather have the magnetic charging dock than the speaker lol.

I did the same except mines still showing as due for delivery on 10th April on my account, despite it now being the 11th
So far all I have is case from amazon sat there mocking me xD Tempted to phone customer services tomorrow and find out if they have aclue when I can expect it.

When I phoned them last week they said 10th April, so I said are you sure? She put me on hold for ten seconds and came back and said 1st May. I highly doubt it'll even be then at this rate.

Every text message I get that isn't from Three telling me to go in and pick up the phone is like a dagger through my heart :crying:

Update
Just an update -
Anyone who has pre-ordered through Phones4U if you contact their customer services and complain about the delay they will compensate you for the delay.
I got an additional £50 cashback ontop of the other cashback i am already getting.
Just a heads up for everyone, might be worth getting in touch with the people you pre ordered from.

I was going to complain to Vodafone, but received a SMS this morning saying I made the first 3000 preorders for the free TV

Did you get a good deal?
I requested my PAC and got a call a few hours later from retentions, I got
Unl/texts Unl/mins and 5 GB of data on 4G normal cost of plan if £52/m but I paid £90 upfront and got 50% off the plan. I couldn't believe it when they offered that even got 2 years spotify premium thrown in.

I ended up with -
42.99pm
5gb data
unlimited min/text
£50 google play voucher
£190 cashback
£0 phone cost - *Was £49.99 upfront
Wireless Speaker

My brother-inlaw works there so gave me 30% off the same tariff you have. Comes to about £36 a month with free phone, and told him I want a signal booster thrown in for free. Also the 2 years spotify.
I'm with Three at the moment so gave them a ring to see if they'd match it, best they could do was £41 month, free phone, free speaker, 300 mins, unlimited texts and data.
I still can't decide if 5gb of data will be enough? It is now, but once 4g arrives in my area, it'll be faster than my home broadband.
So hard trying to make a decision of phone/tariff which you've got to keep for 2 years!

What's up with people getting good deals, here in Norway all we get is the Smartband with the order, no compensation or anything like that for the delay.
