except that is the T-Mobile MDA, not the Cingular 8125. I know they are the same basic phone, but he did say 8125. unless i'm mistaken, but thats how it was last week when I checked.

I'll have both of mine on eBay shortly. You may be able to get a sweet deal on the one that got dropped into the lake too. It's been running fine since that time in May but there's a few water spots on the screen.

I've got a brand new one arriving to my house today. Drop me a PM if you are interested.

Buy out the phone.
I'm interested in buying just the phone without plan, because I'm in canada.
Hopefully someone can show me a place I can get it at a decent price. thanxs.

Be careful if you are getting the free MDA from Amazon, it forces you to sign up for a contract with the unlimited data plan, and to stay on the plan for 7 months, which will likely bring the price over what you would pay without the deal.

I bought my MDA from http://www.ushopwireless.com/wirele...=tmobile_mda&gclid=CNzb7PqViYcCFQMyHgodPlJfZg. Costs $250 minus $325 in rebates = you make $75. They throw in a free BT headset. Have to stay on the $30 unlimited data plan for 4 months.
They had this deal since at least mid-May (that is when I bought).

I got 8102 on ebay. Brand new and unopenned for 350 dollars (US). that seems to be the going rate. maybe a little more or a little less, but its a good deal when you concider how much they go for retail.
Even though i am eligeable for an upgrade and could have gotten the phone for 300 through cingular, they would have forced me onto the pda data plan for 40 dollars a month. Right now i'm on the normal unlimited data plan for 20 dollars a month. So paying 50 dollars extra will save me lots of money in the long run.

I bought mine from cingular for 327 after taxes then a fifty dollar rebate.
I already had cingular so they gave me customer loyalty discount.

Who is getting the T-Mobile USA HD2, at or around launch?

I am, because of the BOGO deal. So me and my mom can just port over with our 2 lines, and since we have 2 lines we are eligible to use the BOGO deal. And because of the cheaper prices, we are getting more for less. Although, I use around 400 min - 800 min, maybe I should go cheaper. Anny recommendations. My mom does need everything unlimited since she uses everything, like her talk time is around 4-6k min per month, and since she will have a data device again, she will use the data, and texting.
What we are getting with T-Mobile:
Cost per month: At or around $200
Line 1 - My Mom:
Unlimited Min - $59.99
Unlimited Data - $30.00
Unlimited Text - $10.00
Line 2 - Me:
Unlimited Min - $59.99
Unlimited Data - $30.00
Unlimited Text - $10.00
--
Our current plans On at&t:
Total per month: Around or above $250
Line 1 - My Mom:
Unlimited Min - $99.99
"Smartphone" Bundle(Data and text): $50
Line 2 - Me:
900 Min w/ standard rollover - $59.99
Unlimited Data - $30.00
Unlimited Text - $10.00

not me I may get it in may or on craigslist

March 24th, 2010.
10:00 A.M.
I'll be there.

@OP, have you looked into getting a family plan? Even More unlimited talk is only $99.99, compared to $119.98 for 2 individual plans. You'd still qualify for the BOGO deal for 2 lines. You can add on the unlimited family texting for $15, I believe, and then the data plan $30 each. So that should be only $145/month, if I did my math correctly.
As for your post, I will be there in line also
As for the BOGO, I will sell the free one :

BOGO
If you are looking at doing the bogo, you should do a family plan. It is cheaper to do the even more unlimited talk, text, and web family plan for $179.
To do the bogo both lines have to be on the same account so you should save the money and just go on a family plan.
And yes i will be ordering mine as soon as i can on the 24th (employees have to order online so i wont get it on the 24th).... I typed this on our store demo and the phone is awesome.

If you did Even More Family plan that would be 179.99 a month .
It seems better to me to go with the Even More Plus Families and pay the phone outright and less $$ every month 139.99 vs 179.99 plus a 2 Yr contract.

the $15 text option is per line, so for 2 lines it would be $100 for unl talk, plus $25 for family innkeeper messaging, plus $60 ($30/line) for web if you did it oone feature at a time = $185.
Just do the even more family talk, text, and web = unlimited talk, text, and web for $180

Sorry for such a basic question, but the $400 no contract price does not mean that it is unlocked, correct?
Can this one be unlocked to a SIM free device status as the European version?

If I do the 1000 min even more plan it will be around that price with taxes. Which I think I will because I don't use that much min. Plus I want to break off sooner or later. Being tied to a family plan contract wont let me break off easily. This will allow me to transfer my line with the contract I signed up for, with out messing with my moms contract.
This will be around the 1 year mark of the contract, if I can get a steady job with in a few months lol.

enjoy tmobile! I went to my shop today and they were really nice. They let me see an exact replica of the phone and it's beautiful. It's actually rubber and metal on the back!

That price is presented for people who aren't eligible for the 200 price, so they offer a no contract retail option, thus the high price. You can still buy it like that, but you will have to unlock it using 3rd party solution.

I'll drop by my local store on Wednesday to try it out. I'll buy it as long as it feels good in my hand. That's the only thing I can't tell based on all the video reviews I've watched.
My local store said that there hasn't been much interest and most people don't know about it.

Thanks for the answer, but really, $400 seems like a bargain compared to what I paid for my HD2!

i got it yesterday at walmart.
since when is the retail price 400? its 450 at tmo stores but at walmart its 500 but i got for 450 cause of employee discount due to my friend working there.
they can sell it retail but not for contract price yet

What do you have to say to get the bogo offer?

Egzthunder1's "TMOUSA" Method for Saving Money on HD2

For my 3000 post, I figured I would do something special for those of us fresh into TMOUSA's crappy 2 year contract (and for those thinking about it).
We all drooled and drooled consistently until TMOUSA came out with the HD2. There is a catch though, it is through TMOUSA. Many people have reported crappy service (cell-wise) and flat spots for data coverage (3G areas turning into Edge, turning into GPRS, into no-data). On top of that paying $450 for a device is not exactly appealing either ($199 sounds like a much better deal after all). I have been thinking about it long and hard and I came up with the perfect mathematical solution for getting a cheaper HD2, sticking to TMOUSA cheaper plans (or leave TMOUSA altogether), and not paying for such crappy data plan/coverage. If you are like me, you are surrounded by an accessible Wifi signal about 70-80% of your waking day, so being forced to pay $30 per month is borderline stupid.
[highlight]Edit: My method is only for brand new devices. A lot of you are suggesting cheaper solutions by buying them off eBay or craiglist, which will come with the added risk of device malfunctions or scams. If you feel adventurous enough to go down these paths... by all means. It usually works out better in the end anyways. But this method ensures a brand new device, that you will get on the spot.[/highlight]
Without Further Ado, I give you the "Scr3w You Very Much, TMOUSA" Method...
Getting HD2 without contract from the store:
$450
Cheapest Unlimited voice only plan from TMO: $49.99 (without contract)
Cost over two years: $49.99 * 24 months = $1199.76
Getting HD2 with contract from the store:
$199
Cheapest Unlimited voice + Data (they will force you into this) plan from TMO: $89.99 (2 year contract)
Cost over two years: $89.99 * 24 months = $2159.76
Cost to get out of the contract (option available only after 15 days from establishing a contract - aka remorse period): $200
Difference in phone price (with and without contract difference):
$450 - $199 = $251
Cost of breaking Contract and Keeping New Phone: $199 + $200 = $399
so we are saving $50 right off the bat (remember that the no contract price is $450, so $450 - $399 = $51)
Plan Cost:
$2159.76 - $1199.76 = $960 savings over two years
Total Savings over 2 years ($960 plan cost savings - $200 early cancellation fee + $50 for savings versus purchasing HD2 @ full price)= $810
You may think "but I still need internet" on the road... simple answer to that too:
Internet package from non contract plan = $25
Internet package from contract plan = $30
Savings over 24 months contract = $120
May not seem like much, but when you add that to the $240 from the unlimited voice plan difference (49.99 w/o contract vs $59.99 w contract), it adds to $360 for the life of the contract, plus you can leave them dry at any point you want...

I hope this is useful into deciding if you are getting a HD2 but don't want TMOUSA as your carrier or simply don't feel like paying a lot to them.

Good to know for us tmobile users my friend.. i'll stick it as requested.

But there are those of us who actually need more than the basic services.
My business requires me to have unlimited minutes, texts, and e-mail access at all times.
So, over all, T-Mobile is cheaper than At&T or Verizon.
But I do see your point.
$30 a month for 3G internet service does seem a bit too much, when I pay the same amount for 4G (Clear Wireless) at home.

I would much rather opt out of TMOUS 2 year contract and jump ship to AT&T/Verizon/Sprint...
TMOUS has the absolute WORST service...

I guess you forgot the %35 Bing cash back when you shop online and pay full price! $300 with no contract is the best deal

Depends on where you are...they work quite fine in many major areas.

This does make sense. But then again it doesnt. Think about it!
Tmobile sells it on a 2 year contract for $199.
Walmart sells the samething (online) for $99 plus theres many coupons foe $25 off. So thats $75 on a new 2 year contract. Walmart also pays taxes.
Thats $75 vs. $450+ tax.
Now let me get to the point. If you want data+text+500 minutes. Its 59.99 on even more plus. Vs. $79.99 on contract.
So thats $20 more a month.
Heres the catch. If you cancel your contract after 6 months. The fee goes from $200 to $100 per line.
So lets add this up.
Buy the phone for $75. Add ($20 extra a month for 6 months= $120). And then add another $100 for the contract cancellation. Thats a total of $295.
So $295 vs. $450+ tax. Which sounds like a better deal?
After you cancel the contract. Just sign up for even more plus..

As an alternative (I did that personally), buy one get one free from T-Mobile promotion ... and pay $200 + tax for TWO HD2 phones. Activation waived.
So you pay $214 (in FL) for 2 phones.
Then you pay for 2 weeks of cheapest service (around $70) and cancellation fees of $400 for 2 phones
Total loss: $684
And you eBay your 2nd HD2 for $500 (around 450 after all fees)
You get your new shiny HD2 for $234 and you did not even extended your contract yet

Don't Forget HTC has extended the turn in a old phone and get 50.00 on top of that with teh purchase of a HD2, G1, etc... I think till May 19th

Wow! I had no idea Walmart sold these... I bought mine at Best Buy (had a $70 coupon from Rewards)

But you are absolutely correct about everything you are saying... There will be various methods for doing this (which result in different savings) based on personal usage of the features of the plan. In my case, (as I explained in the first post) I don't really need internet 24/7 on my device since most of my waking time, I am in areas where wireless is available, so for me this translates into at least saving $30 per month (without accounting the fact that the unlimited voice is $10 cheaper as well), and here is the thing why I posted this. Remember that having internet when you are in a contract is not an option, it is a requirement... there is no way out of it unless you break your contract or pay full price for the phone. I figured this way to be cheaper for my usage type.
Maybe I will change the title of this thread to "Ways of Getting a Cheaper Device and No Contract" or something like that. I appreciate your input on this

Not bad, but why would someone pay $500 for a device on eBay (assuming shipping is included), when they can buy it brand new, from the store, no contract needed for $450?

I just checked it out and in order to do this, you have to have proof of purchase (receipt or UPC box label). I have a 7 year old Wallaby bought in eBay, a 5 year old Blue Angel, 2 0.5 year old Vogues (soon to be 4), soon to have a Tytn, and a Wizard (which I sold, but for the sake of argument, I will throw it in as well).... I cannot use any of these devices for that since I have no way of providing them with proof of purchase (and this happens to be the case for a lot of htc device owners around here).
It is a good resource to have though. Thanks for sharing.

Just spoke to LetsTalk customer support. aka Walmart $99 purchase.
They'll give you the phone for $99 but if you break the contract within 6 months, you'll have to pay $250 disconnect fee to LetsTalk in addition to the $200 charged by T-Mobile.
I went to a Sams Club last week and they had it for $142 + tax. The guy there said I can keep my existing plan (family plan and $25 android data plan).
So my plan is to buy the phone from Sams Club. If I like it, I'll stay on the new 2 yr contract and if I don't I'll break the contract after 30 days and sell it on craigslist (ebay charges a lot of fees).
I've been waiting for a good android phone for a long time (my contract on the G1 got over more than a year ago. But since T-Mobile is not getting any good androind phones, I'll try WM 6.5. Microsoft wins and Google loses. The last WM device I used was an MPX200. I would have bought the Nexus One if they allowed me to add it to my family plan with a discounted rate.

before u go getting phones at contract discount and canceling. you may want to read this http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php?t=1634784
basically says tmobile will start blcking IMEI's of phones from canceled contracts. I dont know if its legit but i just bought a HD2 from ebay and now im paranoid anyone heard of this?
Edit seller assured me thats not the case for me but still thats kinda scary.

This is true!
But if you plan on keeping the phone for atleast 181 days, then lets talk will remove the fee (plus tmobile will only charge $100 per line). This would be the best decision for someone looking to keep the phone and not sell it anytime soon.

I spoke to T-Mobile too. Their policy for canceling 2 years contract is:
If you have more than 180 days from the end of the contract, you pay $200.
If you have more than 90 days but less than 180 before contract ends, its $50, and less than 90 days for contract to end, you pay $25.
But yes, I agree that someone who plans on keeping the phone for 2 years, its a good deal.

It's $20 per month cheaper IF you get your plan switched to the Even More Plus contract-free plan.
It's not cheaper automatically, as far as I know, if you're on a current contract rate and don't ask for the change...

No, it would be cheaper.
If you're not currently a T-Mobile customer, and you buy the phone contract free and at an unsubsidized price, you can ask for the Even More Plus plan, and you will get a rate that is $20 per month cheaper than people who buy the phone for $199 with a two year contract pay per month.
The Even More Plus plan is not available online any more, you have to go into a T-Mo store and ask for it specifically... I'm not sure Best Buy can/will offer it to you.
What I did with my Nexus One was go into a T-Mo store and buy the sim card before my phone even came in, then just plugged the sim into the phone when it was delivered.

I pay $59.99/mo for 500 talk minutes, unlimited text and unlimited web AND I'm not tied to any contract (well other than the monthly contract). You still get free nights and weekends and all that good stuff.
No reason to not buy the phone at full price and unsubsidized, unless you don't want to fork over $580 all at once. In the long run it's a better deal.

Nice so the data only sim will be like thirty a month, On sprint I use about 60 minutes a month(data is another issue) and with gizmo5 and gv is going to be how I make my few random cell phone calls

distortedloop is correct; T-Mobile's pricing is such that plans are marginally less expensive if you are not on contract.

Just so you know, ALL Nexus S's are sold unlocked. The word you're looking for is "unsubsidized", or full price.
People have been saying that Even More Plus (no contract) plans are $20/month cheaper than Even More (contract) plans. This is only partially true. The Phone+Text+Data plans are $20/month cheaper. Phone+Text (no data) plans, and data only plans, are $10/month cheaper.
The general Even More Plus plans are not available online (with the exception of the data only plan which I linked above). You'd need to go to a T-Mobile store (or call customer service) to get the general EM+ plan.

+1, yes you will save in the long run
I was in a loyalty unlimited plan ($84.99) for 2 years with my G1. Wanted to save more in the long run so I opted for the "non-contract" Even More Plus Plan ($59.99). I had to call Customer Care to be able to change my loyalty unlimited plan. So in 2 years similar to signing a 2 year cotnract, I save $250.
Like others suggested, buy the sim card for the Even More "Plus" plan for $59.99
and just buy the phone outright.

Even More Plus is really only beneficial for single lines. If you have more than one, it's not worth it.

Why's that? The cheapest Talk+Text+UnlWeb family plan is $30/month cheaper on EM+ than on EM. And the savings increast with the higher-minute plans.

where are you guys seeing EMP plans? i thought t-mobile got rid of them, i certainly can't find it on their site.

I'm still in contract with my G1 plan. $79.99 with unlimited talk/text/data.

they don't, you have to call Customer Care and ask for it, I believe they are being phased out

I work at a T-Mobile COR store and this seems to be the plan in the next few months.

I'm actually surprised that T-Mobile is still offering it. I would have thought they stopped offering them as of now.

Current Plan:
Even More 1500: $79.99
Data Plan (2): $40
Unlimited Family Messaging: $20
Two phones: Free til 2012
Total: $140
Even More Plus 1500: $119.99
Data Plan (2): Included
Unlimited Family Messaging: Included
Two phones: $10
Total: $130.00
That's only $10 a month cheaper for EMP. When I have to start paying the other two lines, it'll be $20 a month cheaper...which is the general consensus that EMP saves ($20/month).
$20 a month for 22 months = $440.
Now go to upgrade your phones. I need two smart phones and two regular phones.
Even more: Free (2 Vibrants, 2 Gravity T)
Even more plus: 2 Vibrants at retail ($400? each) and 2 Gravity T at retail ($175? each) = $1150 (this may be a high estimate) - $440 (savings) = $710
The difference I save each month on EMP does not offset the price I have to pay to buy phones outright.

I must be missing something. On T-Mobile's website, the EM1500 plan with unlimited txt + data is $160/month. Is your plan maybe part of some special? Or do you have 4 of the $10/month (200MB cap) data plans?
From your description, it's tough to tell whether you have 4 lines or 2 (since you say "once I have to start paying for 2 lines").
I realize we're kinda sidetracking the main thread here ... I'm just curious about your plan for some reason.

What deals

As they appear what kind of deals are becoming available in the uk looking for a ee one

I went on Vodafone (already with them). Still had 6 months to go on contract, so they waived the upgrade fee, for unlimted text and minutes, 10Gb data, £29 up front for the phone .. and initially the tarriff was £50 a month ... however, due to the company I work for I get 20% discount, so comes in at £40 a month. Seeing as I was paying £30 already for unlimited texts, 600 mins and only 1gb, and extra £10 with spotify is not to bad. This is also with a free Gear VR and a Spotify Premium subscription ... so all in all .. not to bad a deal I reckon

I already created a thread for this yesterday.

Thanks didn't see it
