Amazon Wireless has the MT4G for $50 if you want to upgrade, but is that truly the best price? I was wondering if anyone has gotten retentions to give them a free MT4G for renewing/subscribing.
dude, are you kidding me?
theres people paying $500 and your asking if you can get it for free cause $50 doesnt seem good enough?
if your eating from soup kitchens i highly doubt getting the MT4G should be a concern for you

Please re-read what I said in my post before you give your input.
I am unsure of where you got the idea that $50 is not good enough, as I only asked if anyone was able to go through retentions to get it for free.
Lastly, I do not understand your comment about the soup kitchen, so I will ignore your post otherwise.

$50 is the lowest I've seen anywhere. However, keep in mind that Amazon may not allow you to keep your grandfathered plan if you are renewing. I tried to upgrade through Wirefly, since they were less expensive than T-Mobile, but the website was forcing me to select a more expensive data plan and a different minute allowance. No thanks.

I just tried going through the checkout options through Amazon and it allows me to keep my plan the same, but forces the $30/mo service option. On my lunch break I'm going to call retentions and have them try to match the Amazon price, and if I can get them to do that I'll be upgrading my G1 and my fiance's Behold 2 today

Yes they'll enforce a data plan, but I don't want to have to spend $30/mo for the unlimited data plan when I'm on an unlimited data plan right now at $20/mo so that's what I'm trying to keep the same.
I paid 50 for my MT4G with NO data plan. Loving it!

From retentions, or from a third party dealer?
I'm thinking about jumping on the. Is it worth it to upgrade from a Nexus One to the MT4G? I like the wireless N and 4G speeds.

Retentions will let you keep the $20/month android preferred plan if you already have it.
I just ordered my mine through amazon last night, don't mind paying 30 since I pay 27 now. Something that bothered me though was even though they give 2 day free shipping, my estimated delivery date (according to website order status) is dec 31... wtf!!

Had a buddy order his earlier today through Amazon as well and his says Jan 3rd. But he called amazon wireless customer service and was told their next stock comes in in 8-9 days and all current orders fit within that new inventory so the 1-2 week backorder status should remain accurate.
With this Amazon deal up now, I'm going to go out on a limb and say we're gonna see free phones with upgrade within a week. I'm holding out.
Got mine last week at costco for $99. Walked in today and saw they were offering new lines for $49. Brought in my receipt and got the difference refunded

You mean "4G," right?
I don't know what your data experience was like with the N1, with the MT4G it's been really good. I've tested it from Boston to Manhattan and everywhere in between, the connection has been pretty solid and low latency.
That said, I was upgrading from a G1, so I was totally blown away. I think coming from the N1, this will be a less exciting upgrade for you.
retentions
Went through retentions last week for MT4G.
$99 + $20 unlimited plan
with new 2yr contract extention
I was out of contract and upgrading to new phone.
For those ppl upgrading, $99 seems to be the sweet spot?
(The amazon link says $149.99 if you're already a TMO customer; $49.99 for new and $79.99 for new family.)
Looks like no one has gotten it for free just yet, hm?
Have you guys heard about the 'buy one get one free' plan for Nov 26 - Jan 18?

Even if you did that (And no, I haven't heard of that) it would still average out to $100 per phone.

Just wondering if there are any good tricks or deals to minimize the monthly cost of owning and actually using one of these devices. I've been using LetsTalk for the last few years as I've not really found any cheaper way to get phones & plans, so most of my numbers are based on this. I did a quick spreadsheet for 24 month cost of ownership (ignoring taxes and fees for simplicity) and have attached that. Basically with AT&T you can go with the $40 voice plan and get the phone for $200, or the $60 plan and get it for free. Then add on $30 for data (the letstalk deal requires this for at least 6 months anyway) and another $5 for basic texting. I broke these down with comparisons to the iphone, sidekick 2008, the cricket slider my friend bought and the dirt-cheap samsung propel. I know this isn't exactly apples to apples but I'm doing this more to evaluate the cost/benefit of having a nice smartphone vs a decent voice/text platform with no data plan. Just kinda throwing this out there for feedback, I'm sure you guys know a lot more than I do about what is available and what can be done...

Mine is unlimited EVERYTHING and 100% free, and so is the second, third, forth and fifth line.
Ohh yea the data card is also.
Sorry I couldn't resist.
Ok, to make a long story short, I pay $20 a mo for unlimited data. I have had it for years from when I was with Cingular. I pay $5 for 250 texts and 39 for the lowest minutes. I own my own phone and have always bought unlocked phones and haven't had a contract in years.
So I wanted the Fuze and went to the Att store and was willing to sign a 2 year contract to get the phone for $299 but wanted to keep my plan EXACTLY like it is. Hre said no prob....until he started ringing me up. Stated my data plan was not compatible with the Fuze and I had to upgrade to the $30 a mo. I said no, he said you can't get the speacil price with the $50 rebate if I didn't. I said stuffit.
So, I am willing to pay $500 for the unlocked, no commitment phone from Att and will leave my plan as it is.
Question.....Does anyone know if the phone will be COMPLELTY unlocked or uncripled if I buy it for full price from Att? I want to take my sim out, put it in the new Fuze and keep on keepin on as I have for years.
Thanks

Search for my threads regarding media net. It will tell you all about it.
As for the device (full price) or (with contract renewal) its the same phone, it will be locked.
I don't know how but ATT knows what phone you're using on their network and will probably make you change it anyway. It happened to me when I got a Tilt.

i see a lot of good deals on amazon, wirefly, lets talk.... but i dont know if i can trust those websites or just go to at&t... i really think im gonna choose a captivate over the iphone 4. seeing all the various homescreen mods on a thread here made me want it more lol. so where did u guys get it from and how much? if u got them not at at&t how does the it change ur service plan? does it stay the same? thanks everyone and hope to get a captivate, root and enjoy? im coming from a tilt 2 running one of nrg'z ROM's and have android 2.2 as well . cant wait to see froyo on this beast!
I got mine from Amazon, had to change/add the data plan (didn't get grandfathered in). I think letstalk is the only one that provides an option during checkout to "keep current unlimited plan" as of right now.
Amazon is definitely the best price for just the phone, but if you want to keep your data plan, I believe letstalk is the one you have to go to. You don't confirm any changes until you submit the order just to check, I did the same thing when I was shopping around.
Well I bought mine from a corporate store on launch day of the phone. I got to keep my unlimited data plan because otherwise I would have bought it out right at that point.
HTH,

For the wife - Free with an contract renewal from Letstalk.
For me - Sold old iphone 3GS 32 gig (in contract till march'11), and invested the money on unopened Captivate of Craigslist for $330 USD, still have about $100 in pocket to look at avialable options to upgrade with contract revewal come march.
Btw, will ATT honor the 1 yr warranty on the captivate bought off craigslist?
Um, probably not..
$99 from Lets Talk
I got mine at Best Buy through their Best Buy Mobile department and they price matched Wirefly which had it at $169.99 a few weeks ago. Funny thing is my contract extended, but I still have my upgrade discount for another phone too.
Bought it at Best buy on launch day for $199.
Contacted AT&T 29 days later to complain about GPS and told them I was switching carriers.
They offered to give me the phone for free.
Got my 199. credit and I'm good to go.
net cost: $0 for the phone

Anyone at AT&T should know a GPS problem is not due to the network. Bottom line is they will do anything to keep you under contract, probably even more so if you're one of those deviants that likes Android better than the iPhone, lol.
I got mine off eBay for $400. I saw it cheap on NewEgg and you could keep your unlimited data plan.
$99 at AT&T, kept my unlimited data plan from my iPhone 3G. Talked to customer service and they told me if you have unlimited data you will keep it as long as you keep a smart phone and dont switch your data plan.

Guys I just left Best Buy. I was gonna order a iphone 4 but if the thunderbolt had $30 unlimited plan for data on 4g Id rather have speed than games. Sure enough i walked into the store asked the manager of the mobile phone department.......and before i had the chance he knew what i was gonna ask right away.
He pulled out a slip CONFIRMING a early adopters $30 unlimited data plan over 4g. He also confirmed the 17th release date!!
Are you sure about the 17th? I just called Best Buy mobile (1800-Best-Buy) and lied to an extent, I told them I paid for a 50 dollar pre-order and was not given a date or price. They told me they apologized and understood my frustration, then went on to say that the Bolt doesn't have an official price yet but documents point to a definate without a doubt release date of 2-14 (Valentine's Day). Of course the lie involved me having a pre-order I won't be doing a Best Buy pre-order since they don't do 1yr contracts.
Without a doubt!!!!!!! 17th is the day!
$30 unlimited plan also confirmed!!!

With all the trouble people are having with Wirefly in the other thread, this is an alternative. This company is a direct affiliate of T-mobile, check out their site for more company info on them. But they offer the newest handsets at the cheapest I've seen yet for new activations. I believe they even have the Sidekick 4g for below $49.
If this don't help you, pass on to somebody who can take advantage of this offer. I know I did!

G2X + Contract from T-Mobile
I've been off contract from T-Moblile for over ten years and was getting nervous about the AT&T crud. I decided that I didn't want to be caught without a decent plan at the time of the sale and have AT&T force me into one of their crap plans.
Called up TMO, asked them what my options were; told them I DID NOT want a 2gb throttling ceiling; and would prefer to keep my Loyalty plan (5gb throttling ceiling) but to put under a contract.
Much to my surprise and pleasure, the rep told me they would keep all the terms of my existing plan (unlimited everything) and give me the 79.99 price of their new plan. Saved me about $10.00 dollars a month!
.... and I bought the G2X for the $199 price.

Yes, I see it is a little more for you, but the prices change depending on your situation. But it's a guaranteed $49 for new activations, whether you add a line or just opening an account, plus with all the problems people in the Wirefly thread (shipping), it really starts looking like a good deal, especially with 2 day Fed EX delivery, you will have your phone on the 20th if you order it today!

To be honest, in my opinion I'd go for the G2X. Just for the simple reason of it being flagship, along with Sidekick 4G and the Gslate.
I really don't see T-mobile cutting into those sales at least for a few months.
We probably ain't gonna see the Sensation until mid summer and then even then I'm pretty sure the G2X will hold value, you could just sell it.

I ordered two phones from Cellhub, but don't expect them for a little while still. They're supposed to ship today, then probably 3-4 days shipping (just a guess).
Very shady site! Not in a good way IMO Thye recalculate the price of the phone on every little choice ya make an thier plans are all higher price than t mobile an thier ETF are higher to. plus in terms an conditions they make you agree to pay thier legal fees if they have to use legal means against you. NO THANK U Take my $ an business to more reputable people, Tmobile
I thought this deal required its own thread. Amazon is selling the HTC One X in gray for $49.99 on ANY family plan line. Unlike the the Radio Shack deal which requires you to be the primary on the line, Amazon does NOT require that.
Here I was, with my $400 saved, thinking this phone was going to be $299 + $55 CA tax + $36 Activation fee... and I end up spending $50 total.
For that price, the Galaxy S3 is not even an afterthought.
Couple of questions -
1. If there are any problems with the phone, do I have to return it to AT&T, Amazon, or HTC?
2. What do I have to do to keep my unlimited plan if I order on Amazon, just call AT&T afterwards?
1. I believe you have to return it to Amazon for the first 14 or 30 days. Afterward, I would assume AT&T.
2. I also have an unlimited plan. The process is as follows:
Call AT&T and let them know you're going to be getting your phone through Amazon which requires a data plan change. If he's a knowledgeable rep, he will annotate your account and will tell you to call them as soon as you receive your equipment so they can revert you back to the unlimited plan. It took me 3 different reps, but the 3rd rep guaranteed me that he will annotate that in my account and verified with his supervisor that its possible to revert back without any issues.
Order through Amazon and choose any data plan, preferably the $30 dollar plan (cheapest one).
everyone i have talked to about ordering through amazon and keeping the unlimited data has said to order OVER THE PHONE. This ensures you keep your data plan instead of them saying "hey you selected this plan and are screwed"

everyone i have talked to about ordering through amazon and keeping the unlimited data has said to order OVER THE PHONE. This ensures you keep your data plan instead of them saying "hey you selected this plan and are screwed"

Amazon has absolutely nothing to do with keeping your unlimited data plan. They don't have the power to do anything about that.
I too called Amazon first. And they simply said that's something AT&T will have to take care of.
the only thing that has me curious is about the exchange policy....i really hate getting a new phone and something being wrong with it. I returned my captivate 3 times, and my inspire 4g twice to finally get a "good" one.
Apparently through Amazonwireless, you can't exchange phones, only return it. So, if you get a good one, then you got a good deal.......but if you don't, then you are kinda screwed.
Hmm debating this... but I really wanted the white.
Anyone do a cancel with ATT on the pre-order? I checked my upgrade status and it says 2014 on the line. I would need to cancel... and see how quick they unlock the upgrade...

I cancelled my original Amazon preorder and preordered this gray version immediately afterwards without a problem. Not sure if ATT works the same.
at radioshak the guy said he will price match to online 49.99 so will i be able to get a white one there for that price ?
Worth a try but probably not. This whole thing started w/ radioshack selling the gray HOX for 49.99 on family plan's primary line, and Amazon price-matched radioshack. Hence only the gray HOX is 49.99 while the white remains 149.99.
Given that radioshack is the company that started the low price, I assume they have good reason driven by demand not to lower the cost of the white one.
Does anyone know what I need to do to get Radio shack to match the price on Amazon? I already have a pre order in place. Do I need to print out the AmazonWireless page or something? Thanks!
man.. I really REALLY hope this deal is on until the SGS3 announcement..

I think you can return phones on Amazon Wireless right?? And we still have 30 days to return it without any penalty right?? I heard somewhere they add another $250 on top of the $350 if we cancel the contract after the 30 day period??
sounds great. im a fan of amazon mobile they have great deals and fast processing and shipping.

So If I preordered for an upgrade for family plan line, they will do a price match at this point right?
placed my order on the 26th of April for $150... I can cancel and re-order with the new price right? I chose grey both times anyway.

I think someone else said that they just called amazon and they refunded the $100 difference
