Can someone run to their AT&T and get me an AT&T Fuze then put it on ebay to sell it to me? I know that a lot of you guys can get much better price than me. I'm from Montreal and I'll pay for the auction fee and the shipping.
Make me a good offer guy...
some guy from this forum offer me $450, but I haven't heard from him back yet.
????
??????WTF???????
It's not very easy to find people who are interested in making as least money as possible, but perhaps this is worth a shot
Don't know about the Fuze, but I have connections to folks who want to sell the Brooklyn Bridge

WHy don't you take an hour driver over the border...go to a local ATT store and purchase the phone outright???? It will cost approximately $550 after taxes....

There is no AT&T store near Montreal... the closest one is about 4hr drive. I'll be driving 4hr there, and then another 4hr back...
For the gas, and for time I'm spending on top of a $550, it's really not worth it. Also, I'm not even sure that they have in stock or they are willing to sell it to me.
Anyway, I got a deal in Canada... $660 CAD
which is not bad, considering it's saving me all those troubles.
why dont you just order off of the internet?

On the internet, you have to get a plan with it
craigslist.org
Come on man.. majority of the online sites that sell the fuze will let you buy the phone without a contract/plan.. look around. try letstalk.com
Price reflects full purchase price through ATT without contract which is how I paid for it. Not trying to make money on this.
Used one day. Comes with original receipt for Warranty. Will ship standard UPS or Fedex included in price. Not to exceed $25.00
$525.00 US will do PayPal
Beachboyde
Also for sale, ATT Tilt with 7 months on Warranty. Will send original receipt. includes, desktop craddle/extra battery charger, extra battery 2600, case, and all original items, box, cables, cd, etc. $300.00 includes standard delivery not to exceed $25.00
Why is your price so high? I just paid $300 usd for new Fuze, no committment or contract additions....
525 seems real high, as new they are not even that much retail
Where did you get a Fuze for $300 USD with not commitment? I've been looking everywhere.

Brought without contract was $499.00
hey jon..didnt you just sell it? or is this one you just bought to resell..and why selling your tilt? the most ive seen a fuze go for new on ebay is 450..thats what i plan to sell it for when i get the 2 fuzes on black friday ill most likely get 400 so if anyone wants to buy a fuze or 2 on or after friday PM me and we can work out a deal
Why are you guys thread-crapping his thread like that? Talking about his price and trying to suggest people to buy from YOU in HIS thread. If you dont like the price, don't buy or PM him and suggest he lower it but no need to do that in his thread...
dang chill dude! ive talked with him before..i almost bought his last fuze of of him so i have a right to say what i did and it was sort of a joke about me wanting people to buy off of me..i only sell on craigslist or ebay
Note to potential buyers: Don't buy the Fuze from this guy. You can get a new Fuze with a 30-day guarantee from AT&T for $499.
This is a ripoff.
yah PLUS TAX which comes out to around 530-540 and you still get the 30 day buyers remorse since hes giving thed reciept so this is a deal

Yes the one I sold was my original and I got a offer and a no haggle for shipping and great price. Very nice man.
I did sell one, and no not buying to sell. I have several phones and a extra Tilt so thats why I'm selling them. As I said, not trying to make money. But their are people that want the Fuze or Tilt that don't use ATT and might be something their interested in. I'd always post here first due to the Quality and neverending information that is provided to us.

Good Lord people, give me a brake, This is not a rip-off. As you said, can get for $499.00 with a 30 day take back. Can do this with my Fuze as I'm providing the original reciept.
dude, dont listen to these idiots (ie, perdurabo2). I sold my first fuze within hours of posting on craigslist for $500 cash.. Not anybody can walk into an at&t store and buy one outright; you still have to have a contract with at&t. Also, honestly, your biggest market is going to be those poor schmucks to our north (canadians). They cant buy the unbranded version (no 3g), and none of their gsm carriers have released it. I've been hearing that stores up there are selling fuze's for $600! anyways, post on howardforums; lots of canadians there. just make sure its unlocked. good luck..
and again to idiots like perdurabo2, STFU, mind ur own business. you dont want to buy, thats fine, ur opinion is not needed/wanted
hey jon, dont mean to get personal but whyd you buy THIS fuze? i read your post saying that you wanted to go back to your tilt and thats why u sold your first fuze..

Hey, Brought it for someone that decided he wanted the iPhone instead, so as I brought it outright, I figured I'd see if anyone wanted it. I still have a Fuze, Tilt, & iPhone, well 2 Fuzes, 2 Tilts, and 1 iPhone. LOL I'm just nuts. hehehehehehhehe. I love gadgets, but The Fuze I'm going to trick out and see what happens. Something for me to have fun with. Guess after I sold the 1st Fuze, I saw all the excietment on here and decided to get another to have fun with it. I actually do use 2 phones and take them both with me. One business one fun.

You can go f**k yourself. When someone posts something to a public forum, it no longer is just their business. He's asking a crazy price and I want to make sure people don't get suckered into it. If you don't want feedback, don't post in a public forum.
Thank you, please drive through.
Hey guys!! I just joined recently!
Anyway, my question is the following:
I want to buy mytouch 4g, but I live in Canada. I found an online store called negri electronics! Now I haven't made purchases online beside ebay. They have this phone avaliable and I'd order it, but problem is i am uncertain.
Has anyone else bought a phone from them before? Is it really brand new and never used before (zero air time minutes). They have this phone unlocked at $535.50 and states it is brand new.
Is there any other online place I can order this phone from and get a better deal?!
I'd travel to states bufflo, but the t-mobile store is sold out completely!
Thanks guys!

I would say wait for it to be in stock at T-mobile. Retail on this phone is $450 and you will have a better chance of warranty in case anything happens. Unlock codes are super cheap nowadays, you can buy one for $5 if T-mobile won't give you one but I think they're have to unlock it for you if you buy it outright and as for it. You can also ask the store to hold one and call you as soon as they get it.
Other option would be to find someone on Craigslist close by and pick it up for $400 or less.
If you're really determined to pick one up from that store... just google it and see what people are saying about them. I've never heard of them, Wirefly OTH has MT4G for $539 (not including shipping or unlocking though) but they're trusted retailer.
And finally, if you're willing to pay that much money for a phone, why don't you just find Desire HD? Nicer phone IMHO (same hardware but bigger screen, better appearance and better camera.)
Good luck.
Oh, htc desire HD is better? I am not sure lol. I liked this one cause in canada we have Windmobile, their phones are pretty much crap for aws band .
Thanks for your insightful comment! I really appreciate it! and I will take a look into Wirefly OTH as well!
I have to pay $500+ anyway even for t-mobile store because the amount of gas that goes in, ends up around that price. I don't really wanna travel to the states because it comes down to same price, just with a lot of headache and driving and all lol.
thanks though!

OTH was my abbreviation for "On The other Hand"... perhaps not the best one lol It's just WIREFLY.COM . I used them few times, they are not bad at all and really cheap with contract. They are still more without one. Do you have any relatives in states? That could be your golden egg right there
Nooo, I don't know anyone in the states.
So, I don't really have a choice now. I just wanna make sure that negri electronics is a reliable place to buy such an expensive phone! I hope it is brand new and really the genine product! thats my main concern, I don't really mind paying that price, but I don't really have a choice now do i? lol
thanks!

About Desire HD, I don't think you can find one online for less than 650+. I've been looking for days and it's only available on ebay for around 700+ or on some UK websites that don't look that good like expansys.com and handtec.co.uk
for around 650.
;-)
I can get u one brand new unlocked for 500 and u pay shipping, let me know asap by PM ;-)

So I wired my younger brother the money to pick up my phone in the US and send it back with my grandparents who are there visiting... He went to AT&T today and they denied him the ability to purchase me the phone off contract. He said he tried for a little, but they kept saying that they would not sell it to him off contract. I told him to try and go back if he can, but he might not be able to due to work and my grandparents leaving soon.
Can AT&T actually deny selling the phone off contract? I told him that if he is able to go back, to tell them that it is being sold from AT&T stores for $549.00 and to ask how it is possible for them to deny the sale.
I understand that they dont make money selling phones, but rather the service, but to just deny him is crazy...
Thoughts? Opinions? Suggestions?
Thanks everyone! Have been at this android thing for almost a year and I am still without one...
I have never heard of them denying someone to purchase a phone off contract. Tell him to go to Target or Wal Mart they sell att phones off contract.

I'm not sure if there is one near him unfortunately... I guess I should mention he lives in Boston at the moment, not cool on the part of the AT&T he went to.
Do you happen to know how much Walmart and Target are selling them for?
they can deny anything to anyone. but you can buy it on there website. they dont want to run out and are hoping that this will attract many new contracts so they prefer to sell to new subscribers. my att reps dont care either way and i had the option to buy outright, i shoulda taken that option but it is too late now. im not sure if i can cancel an early upgrade in the first month like a new contract.

about $50-$100 more as far as i can tell but some regions are jacking up the price even in the at store. i think it is $579 on att's website. my store is $549 but some stores may be $600 or more
Is he a ATT customer. It is true they wont sell to non customers and they dont have to.
Crazy how some places jack up the price like that. The reason I cannot order it online is because I would have to pay a 16% tax for it to get through customs here in the Dominican Republic. So i have been trying to coordinate with friends and family that have been in the US and this was my big chance so say.
Pretty annoyed about this, seems like everytime I try to get a phone i am unsuccesful for one reason or another. Already had the issue with the G2X not being quad-band.
I hope he was able to go back this evening and get it... Not sure what to do next if that doesn't work out.
Ya. Inspire was $399 off contract at att. Went to buy at best buy because I had a 10% coupon and they wanted $599 for the thing! No.thanks! I'd call corporate and complain about the store. Either way its bad customer service for them to turn you down like that. "Can I give you $550 for this item" rep "no" ... "only $199" doesn't make sense. I'd raise hell. I realize they make money off the data plans and.contracts and how att works but either way you look at it that's poor customer relations and incorrect information directly from a.corporate store.

Best buy will always price match. I have done it with many off contract phones there.

I'm not sure I'd plunk down that much for the infuse anyway. It has the same gps issues as the captivate and nexus s phone. To me I'd buy an iPhone and have your brother send it along with your grandparents or even an atrix. I like my phones to work right.

As long as you have a active account with AT&T then they will sell you a phone out of contract or no commitment pricing. If you don't have a account they don't have to sell it to you

+++ Inventory is thin right now. They would rather sell that phone with a contract, which they probably did short after. Or if not, at least sell to a current customer.

Yes, AT&T rep told me that first couple of weeks no AT&T store will sell a new phone without contract.
You have to go to bestbuy for that. I bought mine there for $599 without contract.
Another option is online purchase from AT&T's website for $549 without contract, but there may be some issues with that.

Hello All,
I am one of the people that do more reading on xda than post, so sorry for my low post count. This question is to get more feedback and also allow to me vent a bit.
Like mostly everyone that is on XDA loves their phone or tablet and wants to get the most out of it and/or make it their own. Many of us are gadget lovers and really enjoy the evolution of technology as it comes out. I am sure many of us would love to or have been to CES in Las Vegas (or any electronics show). All and all, when the day is over we are all sophisticated geeks (to others or in our own mind).
Myself, I am in a daily battle to stay on-top of technology as much as I can. What is the problem with that? Money. (can I get a Amen?). We will not even go into the social life talk in this post, because after all it is just a question. I find myself always seeing what service provider will release next. I have once worked for Sprint in the corporate side and know a lot that goes on behind the curtain. Providers are shown many new and current handsets that have and have not launched in the market yet. There is a team that looks at all angles of the phone before giving a thumbs up to it. It all comes down to what the customer will buy.
SO... allow me to get to the point and question....
- Do you find yourself migrating from service provider to service provider based on what type of handset(s) they have new and existing?
- Do you sit there and joggle the pros and cons of dealing with a service provider you know you are not going to want to be with and/or deal with, but they have a handset you want (so badly)?
- Do you try to find ways out of your contract so you can switch providers just to get into that phone?
- Do you put yourself on a pay as you go plan, and just buy the phone out-right just so you are not held down to a contract?
- Are you on the look out for new mobile providers to see what they offer as for phones Vs rate plans? (Example: ting.com in the USA)
Being honest, other than Cicket, and TrackPhone in the USA... I have been on EVERY service provider (in the USA). If I could get frequent flyer miles for my mobile number, I would be PRIME GOLD ELITE by now.
Alright, your turn... what SAY YOU?
I take it for most this is too much or two hard to answer?
Hello there! I always have been on pay as you go, the reason in $, I would get a contract but don't want to be tied down for 2 years, virgin mobile dosent have many Android phones so I just wait till they come out with new ones, I'm patient , service providers to me isn't that great of a deal, as long as service is good and the price is right, service is an opinion, some people think tmobile is better and some think at&t is better, ive been on boost mobile, virgin mobile, at&t and sprint, service seemed the same to me, so I don't research and debate to see what's best, to me I think contract phone bills can be a little to over priced, but this is only my opinion

Thank you for the reply I agree with you. Looking at T-Mobile for example, their non-contract plans are lower cost then their normal plans. I was lost as to why this is and did not want to go into it with why this is.
ya im not sure why that is, perhaps maybe services use "pre-paid" as a marketing strategy to get new customers to try there service out and experiment how they like and feel about the company, if a customer has been on there prepaid for a while and likes them they might say hey, i like this service provider...maybe i should get a contract with them. Now that customer is with them for 2 years (or what ever the contract is). As price for pre paid and why its sometimes cheaper im not sure, im still trying to figure that out
I have gone back and forth between post paid and prepaid. As for me, the cost on prepaid is much better. However, the customer service is horrible in prepaid. I am with ATT, and recently had switched from postpaid to prepaid, then had an issue with the phone i bought on postpaid and had to pay the etf to get out of contract. Needless to say, I couldn't get any where with customer service, and had to switch back to postpaid to resolve my issue, and then back to postpaid. Why. Because i had so much into the phone. Anyway, customer service is a big difference, even between different service providers.

Anyway, customer service is a big difference, even between different service providers.

I agree, I have noticed that if you move into Pre-Paid service you fall into the ol' "You get what you pay for" type of deal. I have head through out the roomer mill that some companies may go 100% full automated for all pre-paid accounts. Thus, if the automation service can not fix your problem, then there is no one live that can help you. I can just think how awful that would be if you are trying to port your number over and you run in to issues.
Have any of you guys/gals noticed this? I have seen this time and time again. The quality of phone used in pre-paid Vs. that of Post-Paid. I think the core reason is that people just have issues paying 300.00 or more for a phone. They seem to love only paying 200.00 or less for a smartphone.
Even the same make and model between Pre and post... it just feels cheaper on a Pre-paid device.
Any takers on this?
I wouldn't say it feels cheaper on a prepaid device, maybe its some people mind that they feel there phone is cheap or themselves are cheap because they are on pay as you go, there is nothing wrong with prepaid...just don't have much of a phone selection, in this economy I'm sure alot of people are switching to prepaid due to they pay to much and fear if they can't pay the bills and ruin there credit

I just switched to straight talk today. $45 per month. With Att I paid $75 a months,with 500 MB. That was prepaid. So I like saving $30.
im with ATT now, i left sprint because of the prices, they've gotten higher since getting 4g (charging $10 a month per line) and with 5 lines that was to much for me, i went to tmobile next but ever single month they over charged me and then in a 3 month span charged me 4 times, so i left them and now im with ATT no problems so far. i think all carriers have great phones and everyone will find one they like from anywhere its mainly a budget issue with me
