Price 179$ minus $179.99 LetsTalk instant discount
2yr. contract required, of course....
GREAT DEAL
Crrrrrrrrrrraaaaaapppp!!! If only I had seen this literally a couple hours ago!!!
I just picked one up at the local shop... So far, it's quite a nice upgrade from my Titan... Really anxious to try out a few new roms, but need a default to get back to...
Hmm.... wonder if I can take this one back... or if it's a simple matter of giving a call to 'ol AT&T...
Thanks for the headsup though... I'm sure others that were gonna take the plunge will appreciate it too!
AT&T retail shops have a $35 restock fee. Still worth it with there $199 - $49 mail in price.
If i already have an account, premier with a 25% discount will i qualify or will it screw anything up? I am available for upgrade though

You should get that if you log in through the premier site.
I called and I got mine for 25% off, and I wasn't even close to being out of contract.
Right now I am on one of AT&T's pre-paid plans. Does anyone know if I would be able to move my number over to the new contract?
I think upgrades cost a little more at lets-talk. I seen this a while ago and while it's free for new customers, it's more for an upgrade. Still cheaper though... but how much it is worth to go through the hassles to save a few bucks?
If you upgraded for $150 a MIR, thats not bad.
the rest of the story....
As it turns out, 29 days into using the phone, I called to cancel. Told 'em they charged me too much. The pot had sweetened... now, not only is the phone free, but the $45.00 rebate is applied... soooo... yup. they're actually paying people to use the Pure/Warbird/Topaz..
When I brought this to the attention of the customer service rep I got on the phone, showed them the website, wouldn't ya know, Good 'ol AT&T applied a credit for the 200.00 that I payed for the phone, and allowed me to submit the rebate form...
Pretty good customer service if you ask me...
Long story short, it's worth it if you paid anything more than zero to switch over and go with the pure.
--- Good Luck if you decide to get one. So far I've still been VERY pleased. Not only with the performance of the equipment, but the quality of the roms being cooked up around here.
Two cents worth... good luck.
hahaha thats funny i did pretty much same thing to them....
went to the local att store and i told em the whole lets talk deal so they gave me the phone for free nice one btw i was already more then 2 years with at&t ...
the phone from lets talk its only for a new customers , upgrade is not valid so if u are already an att customer u wont be able to get lets talk deal but hey ppl go to the store and they will do everything to keep u in they are crew
I bought my Pure from LetsTalk on Wednesday for $0. It was an upgrade not a new contract. I do have a family plan and it's only free when you upgrade the main line on a family plan.
I decided since I got the phone free that I'd pay $14.95 for overnight shipping. I had the phone before lunch on Thursday (yesterday). I honestly couldn't be happier with the phone and the fast service from LetsTalk.
Phone looks nice, but I don't want to be forced to the $30 data plan that is required now with this phone, as opposed to the $15 plans of old!
I got my Pure free from radio shack for renewing my contract for 2 years... ATT store online only had refurbs and local ATT would only do it for 99.00
For anyone looking for a Pure... check the radio shack. I also got a 30$ giftcard included... and my plan was only the family talk 550.
Woot!
I am pretty sure you dont get the rebate unless you get a 1 or 2 year contract with the phone. I submitted my rebate through the verizon online rebate center and mailed away with my verizon receipt from my online purchase and the rebate form I printed online.
Was this a fluke on verizon's behalf since I paid $530 for mine and not a new contract or extension? I mailed my rebate last week and got it today. $100 rebate card!
thats not sure. u can get the mail in rebate with full price. also i ordered mine from customer service over the phone and i still got a mail in rebate form, im pretty sure I can get that also, which they gave me the instant discount already
Wait I am thinking about getting switching to Incredible from the Eris for a few reason, but is this really true? Because, at 430 plus tax that is cheaper than going the ebay route. What can the rebated card be used for, can it be just used for cash?
if you are anywhere over 12 months into your plan you can upgrade to a new 2 year plan and only pay a $20 early upgrade fee... making the phone $220 .. U upgraded my secondary line for the incredible and they keep sending me emails for an extra 50 off of another incredible to upgrade my main account early... making it $150... if you wait verizon will send you some discount soon... especially if you are a long term customer.... I'm 9 years with VZW and finally I have a phone I'm not ashamed to own
The rebate applies regardless of the price you paid. The only way it doesn't apply is if you received an instant rebate at the time of purchase. I too, paid full retail, and got my debit card yesterday. Bringing the total cost of my Incredible, after I sold my Moto Droid and accessories, to $64.00.
Where would have it the lowest price eligible for the rebate?

I could of sworn the fine print said it was only applicable to people who got a 1 or 2 year contract, not people who paid full price. When I ordered the phone full price it did not show any discount available like it does with the 1 or 2 year contract, it shows price after rebate...

That's right, because when you re-up, or do a new contract, they give you the rebate instantly. When you go the full retail route, you have to mail it in.
I also paid full price for mine 529.00 at Best Buy and they would not give me any rebate, instant or mail in. You would think paying full price they would cut us some slack
Wow thanks for the info. I had no idea I could qualify for any rebates, but mine's on it's way right now. That extra $100 will be useful for a proper battery/charger/AF that this phone shoulda been stock with!
To find out if you are eligible for a rebate, simply go here, https://www.yourwirelessrebatecenter.com/promocenter/verizonwireless/promo_search.html, and fill in the required information.
The rebate only applies to 1/2yr contracts, so if you received a rebate and paid full retail then you lucked out. The *instant* rebate only applies online, telesales (if you tell them your are having errors ordering online), or sometimes indirect stores, other wise if your order at direct store or through customer service by phone, you would recieve a *mail* in rebate. Exceptions can be made depending on the situation.
All I know is, I paid $529 for my Incredible, ordered on the VZW website, did not extend my contract, sent in the rebate, and got my $100. If people aren't interested in $100, then so be it.

Yep I just sent mine in too, sold my TP2 for $300, getting this $100 back. Overall price for the Incredible - $164. I can be happy with that lol
i must have way over paid phone after tax was 620 last one they had in stock in Vegas was on vacation and won enough to buy one now need to sell xv6800 maybe get 100 for that then total would be 420 but i won 700 of 50 dollars so win win.
Thank you guys SO MUCH for posting about this! I also paid full retail for my phone, $530 + tax, with NO contract extension, and asked the store reps specifically if I was eligible for the $100 mail in rebate, to which they said NO, and even on my receipt "(Rebate NOT Elligible)". Why I ever listen to those clowns, I do not know... they also said I was not eligible for the free 2gb memory card... eh no big loss there but still I wonder.
Anyways, I followed the link and found that I AM eligible for the $100 rebate, got the form right from that link after filling in some basic info, and will mail it off tomorrow with my UPC and copy of my receipt. I don't forsee any issue with getting my $100 card
You guys made my day, and my wife's day as well . I also was lucky enough to sell my Touch Pro 2 to a coworker for $300, plus this $100, brings my total out of pocket to ~$150... Very nice indeed for a new phone after only 6 mos!
So anyone get their rebates yet since I posted this topic?
Hi all!! I just remembered that Motorola has the Trade Up program for all the phones that they said would upgrade to 4.x and didn't. They're offering a $100 Visa Debit Card if you return the phone to them, it has to be done within the first 30 days of purchasing the new Motorola device.
I'm really excited, since I got my X from Best Buy when they had the $100 sale, and now I'm getting this $100 rebate, so in essence I paid some $8 for my phone (the tax the BB charged). That's frikkin awesome!!! :highfive: :good: :laugh: :victory:
P.S. You can find the Trade Up Program here...
Don't see anything for the dev edition though. And why is it still $650?

Anyone have success trading in an old Moto device after buying a Verizon Moto X for the $100 gift card? The Verizon method is different than the rest of carriers as you have to trade the device in store rather than mail it to Moto. I'm planning on buying a Moto X through Moto Maker with the $100 discount and have got conflicting answers from Verizon if it will qualify. One store said you have to buy the phone direct from Verizon. Another one said it should work - I just need to bring in the box and they will scan the UPC and confirm the promo.
I'm in this boat too... I have an old X2 and want the $100 trade-up discount toward a Moto X DevEd. I went round and round with Motorola support (several different online chat sessions and a couple of emails) about this between this past Saturday and yesterday trying to get an answer before the sale but couldn't get a straight answer from them. As far as I'm concerned there is absolutely NO reason for Verizon to be involved. This is strictly a transaction between us and Motorola. I think they're just trying to force us to do it at a Verizon store so they can be sure to collect their BS activation fee. I scored a discount code and ordered my new Moto X yesterday and I plan to use the "all other carriers" option and send them my X2. One of the email responses I got from them completely ignored my questions about Verizon and instructed me to do just that. I bet that was their way of saying it was OK to sidestep Verizon's BS without saying it explicitly. I figure worst case, they send my X2 back and I have to take it to Verizon after all along with the proof-of-purchase (UPC code/box) from my new Moto X and get the discount that way (and probably have to pay the activation fee).

Stopped into the actual store today (the one that said this wouldn't work) and got a different story. He said you need to bring in the new Moto X, they'll check the IMEI and verify that it is a new phone and first activated on your account, and then take your trade in device for $100.
I've read people were having issues trading in non Verizon devices to Verizon - apparently their list is different than the one on the site - but I've got a Droid 3 so everything should be good to go.
I bought an off-contract verizon dev unit and am just mail in a moto admiral using the "all other carriers" method and bypassing Verizon entirely. I read somewhere this works with the off-contract VZW motos.
https://www.mototradeup.com/?q=start
Hopefully it will work.
The thing is.. it's got NOTHING to do with Verizon! You're trading in a device TO MOTOROLA for a rebate when you buy a new device FROM MOTOROLA. It's strictly a transaction between you and Motorola (or SHOULD be)! That's the way it works when you choose "all other carriers"... why shouldn't it work that way for Verizon??? It shouldn't make any difference. The way I see it, this was Motorola's way of making it up to people like me who got stuck with the POS buggy Droid X2 - as well as the other models included in the program that were left behind too soon and not updated to Ice Creme Sandwich. What if I'd bought my X2 when I was on Verizon and had since switched to AT&T? I should still be able to trade in my old device to Motorola and get the rebate if I buy a new one.
Again... I think the whole thing is just a ploy to get you into the store so they can be sure to charge you the activation fee - and possibly push you into a new plan.

I bought an off-contract verizon moto x(not dev unit)and today I went to a verizon store and they said you have to purchase the phone from them and sign a 2-year agreement in order to get the $100.Where did you see that the method you mentioned works?

Finally got a chance to do this since I had to exchange my first device.
Big surprise, Verizon changed their story and told me this only works if you're upgrading and signing a contract. Unfortunately the verbiage on the Moto trade up site ("Visit the nearest Verizon Wireless store to make the trade. Trade in your eligible used phone, purchase your eligible new phone, and you'll receive a $100 Verizon Wireless gift card") gives way to this, so I'm not sure what else you could argue. Typical of Verizon to weasel their way into someone else's promotion and want a piece of it. I will try the other store in my area but don't have much confidence it will work.

Did you end up doing this? Bit of a gamble I suppose they'd send your phone back if it didn't work.

I did last week, but it will take 6-8 weeks to hear back. And they will not return the device if there is a problem. So I'm risking $20 here.

I did this too... bought a Verizon Moto X DevEd online and sent my Droid X2 in using the "all other carriers" option. Waiting to hear back from them. I didn't see anything about them not sending your device back if there's a problem... but I will raise holy hell with them if they try to balk on this rebate. This has NOTHING to do with Verizon.

Thanks for posting this, I'm with Verizon too and I used your same method getting a Developer edition and sending my Admiral.
I was concerned because I haven't received an update, I sent it on June 7th and the tracking number shows they received it on the 12th.
So they actually took 2 months to process your Admiral?
How long after their confirmation did you received the actual gift card?
Thanks!

I just got the card about a month ago. They claimed to have sent it 3 times prior to that (I emailed them repeatedly) but it never arrived until the 4th attempt.
The odds of the post office losing 3 pieces of mail in a row is essentially 0. In other words, they aren't sending some (or all) of the cards at all until you complain.

I just picked up my AT&T G5 this afternoon, only issue I had was them not having the free promo items in stock. "Extra battery, cradle, cable" Mine is arriving in store Thursday the 7th; I did receive my free $100 gift card though. Not an unpleasant experience surprisingly.
Picked up my Titan Sprint G5 from Best Buy this morning, the cradle kit originally back ordered has shipped today.
Verizon model titan color picked up from best buy today as well. None of the promo cradle kits were shipped to them. Apparently it's going to be shipped to my house on the 4th-5th.
Same as few above, Vz Titan, picked up no issues. Promo cradle/battery and USB Micro/C converter shipping next week.
maybe its because you ordered that it arrived to you directly and they are waiting for the "preorder" bonus, maybe try changing the order to pick up at store. i too got my g5 today for att and the bonus didnt arrived yet but they will call me when it arrives i also aplied to the lg page bonus so that i could have 2 spare batteries.

which is the LG Item Code for the Cradle ?
I preordered my G5 in store at best buy and the cradle/batt didn't show up, their system wasn't even loaded for it other than it being an online item or something. They basically had to special order it in for me , then the manager had to override it to get it to me for free. Either way, no big deal, I can manage until next week without my Free extras. I'd imagine I'll only need the secondary batt on rare occasions.
they delayed mine so i went into the store and they said they had 3 on the shelf. Im like why did my instore pickup get delayed then. Oh well canceled preorder and reordered. Special ordered accessory bundle and off i went.
I didn't get a notice but I went to the store on Apr 1 and they had my phone, but no accessory bundle. I bet that's wht they're all delayed. I was able to pick mine up anyway and had the accessory bundle set up to ship to my house when available.
i went into a best buy on sat and they had 1 g5. not one person knew anything about the phone. all the staff kept saying how ugly and stupid the phone was and only bashed it. Funny they had nothing but bad things to say and not a single person had even used the phone... I have been doing much research and the intranet has much of the same. Nothing but negativity or pre-release reviews that don't give this phone any justice.
apparently no one ordered the bundle, so mine is coming in the mail as well...

i think the $100 gift card is for at&t- the phone is $199 and you get a $100 gift card in the mail in a few weeks. Sprint phone is $99 at the register so no gift card.
I have at&t and purchased from best buy , it's a $100 best buy gift card that I got right away. Still havent found anything useful to buy as of yet from there.

It's here. I showed this to the rep and he agreed Sprint also receives $100 gift card. I was unable to upgrade for unrelated reasons, however, so I can't confirm that he would have eventually actually given me the gift card. But he was convinced.
However, I'm doing the $150 *cash* bonus on trading in old smartphone via Sprint directly instead. For some reason they're also taking off $15/month for switching to the installments, so once I trade in the old phone it'll be like they paid me $44 over the next two years to have upgraded.
