It sounds like that $164.99 upgrade pricing that was offered yesterday online to T-mobile customers might have been a mistake.
I was able to order the phone, and it shows that it's still processing in the order status.
Who else took advantage of the deal, and if so, has your order cleared?
I'm curious to see if T-mobile will honor this pricing if it really was a mistake.
Yep
I got mine for $164.99 and it says pending shipping, ETA Jul. 22nd (UPS Ground). The $75 downpayment is pending in my bank account.
If they try to renege on it, I'm done. As soon as my contract is up in 4 months, I'll be gone.
Yeah, I see the payment pending in my bank account as well. It does seem odd, since I technically wasn't eligible for fully discounted upgrade pricing for another few weeks.
I've been with T-mobile for 7 years with no issues so I'm on the fence about leaving if they don't honor the pricing. I'm sure they would offer the discounted rate of $199 - which is still very reasonable - if that $164 really is a mistake.
You can get the same phone on other carriers, but in the end you will pay the same $199 (or more with activation fees with a new provider).

Mine shipped. I already have tracking number. I can't see how they can charge more than confirmed. I have a printed order page. Actually, I went through Bing so I intend to insist on an additional 35% Bing cash back.
walmart has it for $99. including car adaptor.
Mine has shipped as well... I did the pay $64 up front and then add $33 to my bill for 3 months... They better not try to charge me more... thats actually why I bought it.. I didn't think i was eligable for an upgrade, but I decided to check anyways to see if Im able to get it for $199, then when I saw $164 I instantly purchased... maybe that was their plan!
went to a tmobile store and told them about the costco ad, they pricematched it for 99.99, no rebates, came out to 106 with tax
Rather upset, I didnt order online for the 164, I went into the store and it was 269. I'm only 2 months from the 199 upgrade price. They did the same **** when I bought the G1, overpriced me in the store.
I'm looking at filing some complaints against them with the BB and DA for price switching.
I have the print out of 169 to give to the Seattle DA for price switching.

You understand that you can still return the phone for a full refund. Right?
IW, I'm not supposed to call out people on these forums.. but re-read everything you are saying and use logic.
I dont see how this is any different if I go online and see 39.99 for an oil change, I go in and they charge me 59.99 because their computer says its 59.99. Thats wrong, and some states illegal.
No, its completely different. Maybe if you actually ordered online, you could draw that comparison. But the fact that they didn't give you full upgrade pricing when you aren't even eligible isn't dishonest at all.
The 165 pricing is still on their site? If it was a mistake I assume they would of fixed by now.

It's still there,164.99 .i just ordered another one for my wife.
Also, were only halfway through our 2 year contract.I don't get it,but hey thanks tmo!
Putting fairness and legality aside, it's pretty amazing how the story changes from customer to customer, as well as CSR to CSR. Whether or not it's right, it certainly has a car dealership feel to it.
I did, though, just get a text message saying my order will ship within the next seven days, so I guess I'm safe.
where do you people get this ? it was 199 yesterday and its 199 now.....
Funny thing is that for my family plan and another friend of mine it was $ 499 on the site. My friend hasn't upgraded in 4 years.

same on my 2nd tmo account, just checked.......$199 on one and $499 on another........dont see anywhere 164
Well I just recieved a text message with a tracking number and checking the tracking number USP says they've had it since 8:30 last night and will Already moved it to Nashville and will deliever it on Monday...
So I can't see in any way how T-Mobile would change the price on me now...
I got mine from tmobiles website for $164.99 as well and I'm only at 18 months out of 24. I went to a local store to play with the phone and told the sales person about the online price. She told me to go home and order it online since the best she could do for me in the store was $289. I got a text this morning with a tracking number.
I had read a rumor somewhere that the additional $35 discount was for original G1 owners. I have no idea if there is any truth to that, but my wife has a G1 and I had a G1 and have a MT3G and we both got the $164.99 upgrade price.
If you haven't heard already, AT&T's website shows a change in price for the Focus which was originally $199 and is now $99 on contract. I was assuming this was just a random New Year's sale but now I'm not so sure.
Yesterday on Gizmodo, I noticed that Microsoft was advertising WP7 and the Focus but those banners had been there for a while. Then I realized it was also advertising the $99 price and I don't remember AT&T advertising many of their sales before.
Today my cousin needed to return a router to AT&T so I went to the local store in Southern California and I decided to check out the price. There it was on the sign: "$99 on contract". That rules out a web-only sale too. So after my cousin had returned the router. I asked one of the employees there about the phone's price. He said they just got word of the new pricing last night and changed it in-store this morning. I asked him if it was permanent and he replied, "I'm not completely sure. Like I said, we only just got the message yesterday and it just said to change the price."
If it were a sale, then AT&T would probably be screaming about it from the rooftops and make their employees tell customers it was a limited time only...but that's not the case. So it looks like the Focus has officially dropped to $99 on contract.
Now the real question is: why? Seems convenient for the price to drop the week of CES so maybe thats a hint that AT&T will be getting some new smartphones in their lineup soon, maybe even more WP7s. Another thing to consider is that AT&T is trying to rope in as many customers as it possibly can before Verizon gets the iPhone 4, which is rumored and has some evidence to support it happening a couple of weeks after CES. Take it as you will, but a great cutting-edge smartphone is now $100 and thats pretty sweet if you ask me.
Well, assuming the Surround and Quantum haven't dropped too, the Focus is the only 8GB WP7, and the 8GB iPhone is $99. It could be Samsung/Microsoft/AT&T wanted that price lower so the Focus was clearly a better choice.
@FishFace - Both the Samsung Focus and the LG Quantum are getting the $100-pricepoint-treatment.

That's what is so odd. Why are only the Quantum and the Focus getting the price drop?
My only theory right now is that AT&T wanted all three at the $100 price point but HTC declined while LG & Samsung both agreed. I'm sticking with my master theory that AT&T wants as many people as humanly possible to come to AT&T before Verizon's iPhone is announced as this also makes sense with AT&T offering early upgrades for people interested in buying the iPhone 4.
$99 on contract price is so so as most online dealers already sold them for $49 or free. However, the biggest story in this price reduction is that both Focus and Quantum now sell for $399 off contract. That's a very attractive price for me w/o (not even possible right now) sign up two more years of contract.
I suspect the HTC doesn't sell as well as the other two. And also this move is in anticipation of WP7 phones will be released to Verizon and Sprint soon, not iPhone. iPhone itself has the price drop as well at the same time.
iphone4 is not the threat. It would be the iPhone5 ! Or even WP8 !
And the strategy to go to a $100 now is brilliant. I mean how many smartphones that are really worth buying are at this price point? Seems to me that they have found a great price point and will sell millions of them. They proabably get some kind of rebate from Microsoft for selling so many units and Microsoft will benefit from increased users buying Apps or XboxLive games.
No different than a Toyota Corolla. Make a good car and sell it at a great price point and they sold LOTS of them. Build up a huge customer base and when the customer is ready to replace the Corolla, then they up sell to the Camry or to the Lexus., or sell them another Corolla. Eitherway they have huge following.
HTC doesn't know how to make a reasonably priced phone. Well, they know how to make a phone that should be reasonably priced, that's all they make, but they don't price them according to what they're actually worth.
In case you guys are interested, Amazon Wireless is selling the Focus for $0.01 today. Stock is definitely on the move. I'm guessing a Focus 2 with Super AMOLED Plus might be on the way.
Pretty simple, ATT is the only company presently that has a Galaxy S windows7 phone, my guess is the rest of the cell companies are about to get their versions too, much like they all did with Android.
If the Focus is priced $100 cheaper than tmobile, verizon, sprint galaxy S versions, they hope it will take the steam out of their fanfare.
Only reason there isnt a Windows7 phone in my house currently is cos I only have tmobile and sprint.
EDIT: And no galaxy S with the hummingbird or SAMOLED screen

Very unlikely I think, if they had a new Focus coming out it would have been announced at CES. And Focus is still a very new phone and apparently selling very well (no wonder, it's amazing).

Yes but too big and heavy, not to mention my Samsungs have consistently had better reception than my HTCs inside buildings where I use the phone 90% of the time
Just bought one off Amazon for $0.01. Friend got one through AT&T for the same price after he told them about the Amazon offer.
ATT told me that most likely its because its a 3g phone and they're in the process of rolling out the 4g network. Whatever, I got the phone for 0.01...Including shipping!
It says in the website that it can be as upgrade to an existing line. My question is, what if your line is not eligible for upgrade yet. Will your bill show up with the list price after a month or two? Has anyone encounter this yet?
If you are not yet qualified, you have to pay full out of contact price which is $399 if you go to an AT&T store or $499 from 3rd party online.

Could be but somehow I doubt it has anything to do with 4G, since the average consumer I don't think knows about 4G or cares at this point. The fact that they are willing to give you the phone for free tells you they know they will make their money back by the end of the contract, with a sizable profit .

i had 10 months left in my contract, and 2 separate phone calls by me (and one by a friend who got the same deal) said that my old contract was being ended, and they would create a new one that started the day the phone was activated. They know if you're eligible for an upgrade - they ask for your phone # and last name. My friend who called had 3 months left on his contract, and was unable to get the deal at first. When he called AT&T, they cleared his contract and he checked on their again -and it was eligible. He ended up buying through ATT because they said they'd match the same deal.

Could you ask him how he got it through AT&T? I just asked a branch store and they said they could not offer the $0.01 deal...
I'm thinking of getting one off contract for $400. (don't wanna get locked in to Rogers - $400 voice cancellation + $100 data cancellation, 3 yr contract).
What have your experiences been like with unlocking? I heard ATT is refusing to unlock, and unlock codes go for up to $40 online...
When I was in-store the other day, I'm pretty sure the sale price on the Focus said until 1/31. I think it's only good for a couple more weeks, but we'll see.
Anyone know what time this bad boy is going on sale or the landing page for the pre order. I keep looking. But no luck.
Also i haven't seen much mention of being able to buy the multi media dock buy it self. Have you?
It's already listed on their website (10:40pm central time here), I already put in my preorder, all the accessories are available to order as well.
It's on the public website but it's not on the Premier website...And there's absolutely no way in hell I am ordering unless I can do it through the Premier side of things, because I'm not paying activation or any of those other ridiculous fees and I'm not waiting multiple billing cycles for my discounts to kick in.
I just ordered it through premier account for 400 off contract
I have been trying to order since midnight with no luck on the phone or online. They keep telling me its not available yet. Anyone make it through and pre order one?
No luck on Premier site as well. Gets to add to the cart, but that's about it. Shows $168 for me though. 40% off the dock making it $113!
just placed but $317 before my nifty mail in card
Yeah got my ordered this morning, my problem was that when i got my nexus one that i still had the iphone data plan so it didnt know how to process me at check out.
This site has the multimedia dock for 59.99 to good to be true? They have a good rating on google shopping.

Does this happen to any of you?
yes I received an email that it is canceled, but on their website it is still showing as "in progress"

I don't think so...
The email said "unable to verify the information you provided or you have exceeded the number of lines of service that we allow customers to purchase online."
I am using Atrix on AT&T, and they cannot verify my information? What the hell? Why not just simply call me to "verify"?
It hasn't happened to me but I didn't sign in to order it. On the website it still says "In Progress" for me as well.
I haven't gotten an E-Mail from them about it being canceled, but I noticed earlier that the $50 credit was canceled from my card before it even went through.
I just checked my bank account and I saw that I had my $50 back as well.
Upon detailed inspection of my account the order still says Shipment Pending but in my bank statement the transaction doesn't exist. Like it never happened. On another note, if you check the AT&T store it now shows the lapdock as $99.99 and it is currently "Out of Stock."

They have taken the money from my account and haven't put it back yet. Maybe good news for me? Time will tell! Still showing shipping pending
I suggest if you all really want the Lapdock, to go get the $75 refurbished one now!
Sure you pay $25 more, but it's still a great deal and if you don't get a confirmation email with tracking # on your current order, then you are most likely SOL just like the whole HP Touchpad and Blackberry on Black Friday incident a while back.
I called them they told me they were on back order and when they ship they are going to charge my card

Mine's cancelled also. I'm actually glad about it; almost got a buyer's remorse. Oh well, no more conflicts between blur or CM7. Cyanogenmod ftw.
same here. I called but the att guy knew nothing
I have pending shipment, no email about cancellation and money still gone. I want a dock! haha
what i'm curious about is are they still making lapdocks or have they switched solely to lapdock 100s now? Because I'm tempted to call ATT and have them switch my order to a refurbished unit in order to get one. If they're still making the OG lapdock then I'm not too worried. but if they aren't then I'm gonna be pissed =(
I received the email today after ordering on the 4th.
My email stated it was canceled because they were out of stock.
What pisses me off is many others received their order that ordered after I did.
I spent an hour on the phone Monday being bounced between ATT departments and everyone of them said they could not find any order I placed.
The last one I talked to stated the product was back ordered and I would receive it when it was back in-stock.
After this mess I am considering dropping service. I am not that concerned with the dock itself but I have an issue staying with a company that clearly does not fulfill its obligations after the confirmed an order.
I second your thoughts.
Once they confirm order,they must fulfill that.
If you all have confirmation papers of your order, you can try what I did. I got my Lapdock today by calling first to my ATT Store I go to and I had them price match it for me for $50. All I had to do was call the ATT customer care and cancel my order and have them put a note in my account for the store in my area to do the price match.
I heard from another thread that ATT had 4000 on backorder and I used that line as leverage.

I did the same thing today. Had to call all three stores in my town to find the last one, but they did match the price and I carried it out with me.
Called and cancelled my order too so that should free one up for someone!

I just did the same thing this morning. Called a nearby store and asked if they could price match my online purchase. They said no.
Called another nearby store and this store said yes. Took all of 5 minutes to buy the dock, no questions at all whatsoever. I just gave them a copy of my confirmation email and I was out of the door. I am sure local stores are dying to get these out of their inventory because I doubt they sell anymore, they don't even carry the Atrix anymore. I don't know why the first store with 14 in stock didn't want to do it, the second store only had 2 in stock.
I, too did the price match thing with a local store! I called about 5 different At&t places until the one 5 miles away agreed to the price match...but said he couldn't give me a discount right at the store...but would credit the excess to my next bill. So I said, sure why not...I just didn't wanna wait and wait and wait for nothing from At&t anymore..and I am very happy with it! Yay!
The new lapdock for Atrix 4G isn't listed online anymore at AT&T in the regular store which means they won't be selling it through the regular online store anymore. (Refurb still listed for $75). If an item doesn't show up, it's gone for good is what I was told by AT&T. Lapdock does however still show up in the Premier store for $299 and is available.
Hello, first time I've ever preordered a phone and I am switching to Verizon from AT&T. I preordered a S7 and S7 edge thru verizon website last weekend and the ship date is 3/31. My question is should I cancel my preorder and just head to a verizon store on Friday to try and get some phones since I preordered late and most likely won't get the phone for awhile. How do phone releases work in store? I've normally waited awhilw to upgrade but I am all in on the S7 coming from S4 so you can imagine my excitement.
Thanks!
Reason I am hesitate is my wife wants that free gear S2 watch...but who knows if there will be any left when we receive our phones.
I definitely wouldn't cancel first. Go into the store on Friday, if they have the phone you want then cancel your pre-order and buy in store. You can cancel the pre-order so long as it hasn't shipped yet.
I screwed myself switching from black to gold at the last minute, so I pushed myself back in the queue. My estimated ship date is 3/15, so I'll be doing the same thing.
Ahhhh good idea will be doing this! Does verizon in store purchase still get you a free gear s2 watch?

That's not true. The promotion is for any device purchased before 03/18. Whether the supplies will last that long is another question. Whether you pre-ordered or not doesn't factor into the application.
The eligibility is based on the purchase date (Ship date for a pre-order), and has to be submitted before 3/31. I'm not 100% sure what that would mean for people who pre-ordered with a ship date beyond 3/18, but it sounds like they are screwed.

That doesn't clearly state that the phone needs to be purchased from vzw.com. That was the gift description, not the requirements. Furthermore there is no mention of an online requirement in the eligibility section, where requirements would be.
Also, my brother filled out his form and there was no mention or care whether it was purchased online or not (though it was).
Since obviously know one has bought one in store, there's know way to know for sure, but if you do I'd still try to redeem it. It certainly can't hurt. Although the supply could easily be gone by then regardless.

When you go to the promotion landing page it asks you if you bought online or in store. If you select online then you are led to a page that shows both the s2 and the vr. If you choose in store then you're led to a page that only shows the vr. Screens hots attached.

OK now that makes sense, since the promo information I had only mentioned the VR. The watch is obviously handled diffently. However that does indicate that you may be able to get the vr from a purchase in store if there are still units remaining.

He's already SOL with his 3/31 ship date. It has to ship by 3/18.
Just called my local Verizon store. He said he doesn't have exact quantities but should have plenty as Saumsung launches aren't as big as apples. He did insist I call verizon and cancel my preorder asap before Friday so all that is taken care of before I come in Friday as he can't cancel preorder for me.

Edit: Unless Verizon can push orders out sooner, then yeah he's screwed. The deadline to fill out and submit the form is the same day the S7E in Silver ships. It almost feels like they did this on purpose.
I guess I'll be going to BestBuy tomorrow and preordering it. At least then I know I'll be walking away with a silly VR thingy and something of actual value, a 64gb uSD card.
Figures, I just got the notice that my shipping label has been made. So now I'll probably get it Monday at the earlieset, and can't get one in store. A few more days isn't a big deal though.
At least I know it's coming, and don't have to deal with the store.
I pre-ordered the black Edge via a telephone call to Verizon on Monday. I finalized the the order on a email from Verizon. I received delivery confirmation from UPS yesterday for delivery tomorrow on Friday. I'm surprised that so many people who ordered long before me don't already have their phones.
