Sprint HTC rhodium, anybody upgrading? - General Questions and Answers

Who all is either, switching over from, any phone, to get the touch pro 2, on sprint, and who all is upgrading from the topuch pro 1, and if NOT, how come??
I have never owned a Smartphone, but I am willing to pay the $349.99 for my Sprint Rhodium!
the phone retails at 649.99 with no contract (Sprint rhodium), after rebates and after contract discount! its $349.99
I think thats a fair enough price. even if it costed me 899.99, I'd buy it still!

US phones

When is HTC going to bring good phones to the US that are not stripped down and not cost so much money. I have been looking on the UK phone sites and the phone are cheap or for free like the Diamond we have to get it off ebay for
$800 and they sell it for 45 euro

Welcome to the forum
I am agree mate, at least you can have the phones, but where I live not even available...
HTC makes a bad worldwide distribution as in Asia en Europe the give the best models and cheaper, but for the rest of the world phones are more expensive and less models we can get.
The best option is to have a friend traveling to Europe and ask him to bring the model you want.
Thatá what I made to have my Uni and I will make it again to buy the marvelous HD.
Ya that HD looked sweet if i could get one I would. I'm upgrading to a Cingular 8525 till I can get something better. I have been running a SX66 Blue Angel for 4 years but it does not support High speed internet. I will miss the big screen.
That has nothing to do with HTC, any time you buy a phone with a contract in Europe it's 10x cheaper than the subsidized prices here. That's like asking why you can get a free Samsung Omnia with Vodafone but it'll cost you $700 here in the States, and likely $350 even when it comes out through AT&T subsidized. As for the phones being stripped, really? The Sprint Touch Pro is just as powerful as the European version, and the Diamond has even more RAM and ROM. What are you complaining about? They're not stripped at all. The AT&T Fuze also has full specs compared to the European Touch Pro.

Moving to San Diego - buying iPhone or HTC HD2?

Hi all.
I will soon move to La Jolla, San Diego, to study and was thinking about buying a new cell phone. I was looking at either iPhone or HTC HD2 with some kind of contract. However, I only know AT&T and they only have the iPhone with a 2-year contract. Since my stay only will last for six months, 2-year is way too long time to be cuffed to a contract. Where is the cheapest place to buy a iPhone? And what about the HTC HD2? Is it possible to sign a 6-months contract which is the standard duration of a contract here in Denmark.
Thanks.
Best,
Kevin
Try buying a pre-paid (no contract) iphonie at at&t. The HD2 has not been released in the States, and a Euro unlocked one will not get 3G here!
Go for Leo definitely!
Of cource HTC
It is not so much a question of iPhone vs. HTC HD2 since my girlfriend is going for the iPhone and I definitely go for the HTC HD2, but since we are both going to San Diego we need to find the cheapest place.
I have been searching AT&T´s homepage and it looks like the iPhone cannot be bought as pre-paid. Are there any other big companies in the US that sell prepaid phones or with contracts less than 2-years?
Another thing, when I read about cell phones in the US I get the understanding that only iPhone has 3G in the US? Is that really true? Is 3G not so widely used in the US, because I was expected to use HTC HD2 with 3G.

[Q] Is 229 a good price for the GN2 on T-Mobile?

Today there was sale for the Galaxy Note 2 for 229 on a T-Mobile contract.
It was at Best Buy. The TM ETF is 200. That makes a 429 GN2 off contract.
Does anyone here think that is a good deal?
Glad I bought one. Didn't have the time to wait on a response from this board.
It's sold out now.
At least I can sell my "GreyList" GN2 back to Craigs List for at least $500 and come out ahead.
PM me if you want a GN2 which works on ATT but getting mm6 on TM

[Q] Anyone work for T-Mobile or have in depth understanding of their policies?

I have what I think may be a complicated question which I can't seem to find the answer to regarding T-Mobile's promo with paying your previous carrier's Early Termination Fee. I'm thinking of switching from Verizon to T-Mobile and currently have a Galaxy S4. I understand in order to qualify for the promotional phone prices you need to trade-in your old device.
Here's the Question of the day...
Before switching over to T-Mobile, can I just swap/activate my (Verizon) Samsung Galaxy S4 with my old (Verizon) Samsung Stratosphere, so THAT'S the phone they take from me? Because I would love to keep my Galaxy S4 to sell or even for just play!
So, in other words...
Does the phone you trade in to T-Mobile NEED to be the exact same model that you had when starting/renewing your most recent 2 year contract with Verizon you think?

I recently made the switch from Verizon to T-Mobile (best decision I've made in my life). I didn't do the ETF promotion, since I made the switch the day after my contract was over and was bringing my own device. I don't remember exactly what was involved, but I remember that they needed access to my Verizon account info (not just my phone number). I remember having to go to VZW's website on my phone, looking for a previous bill that had my full account number on it, so they could put it in their computer and port everything over to their service.
Seeing as how the Stratosphere is 4 years old, and they'll have at least some access to your account information, I really doubt that they'll take your old phone instead of your S4. I can't say for certain, obviously, but I really, really doubt it. I would venture to guess that when you grant them at least some access to your account, they can also see what phone you're on contract with. While the way to "sway/activate" your device is simply swap which phone your SIM card is in, I think they'll still know that you're on contract for the S4, and not the 4 year old Stratosphere.
FWIW, paying the ETF fees for Verizon might be better than simply turning over your S4, but that depends on how much you have left on your contract. If it costs, say, $250 to break your contract, and your phone is in good condition, it might be prudent to pay the ETF and sell the phone after making the switch. But I don't think you'll be able to pull one over on T-Mobile and give them your dinosaur phone. Either you'll have to finish your contract or pay the ETF to keep your phone, or you'll have to turn in in to T-Mobile to have them pay the ETF.
I happily stuck it to "Big Red" when I switched. I needed a warranty replacement on my Droid Razr Maxx (the battery was about to explode). So I went to the store, but the entire country was out, so they had to send me a Razr Maxx HD instead. The day I received the replacement was the day my contract was up, so I switched to T-Mobile, sent back my Razr Maxx, and sold the Maxx HD on eBay for $275. Speeds and coverage in Tucson with T-Mo is better than Verizon, it's cheaper, and I have UNLIMITED EVERYTYING. Best decision of my life.

cant decide

retail or contract
Verizon full retail $900 for the 128gb s6 edge
Verizon two-year contract $500 (after $50 mail-in rebate)
is the $400 difference worth the contract?
id be doing the payment plan if i do the $900 ($37.49 a month)
chances are ill prbly want the S7 next year.
FYI, please note the sticky posted in General:
DO NOT post questions In the General Section
Wrong section,
But it all depends on your current plan. Is it the same as the one you'll changing to? If so, get the 2 year contract.
Is the new plan significantly worse than your current plan for the price? Buy it outright.
Can't afford to buy the phone outright and you're planning to switch phones for the next generation?
Don't buy a new phone. You likely don't need it anyway.
