It is on sale now through ATT...

The site is trying to charge me $200, I hope it is a glitch. Apparently non commitment pricing is only $399

Ohhhhhh, what is this Xora and how much will it cost me I wonder?

I can't quite figure it out but I think it is $16.99 a month

This is the breakdown of what Xora is, I wouldnt touch it with a 10 foot pole, hahaha.

Why anyone would want to buy that when HTC SENSE does it for free when you buy the phone is beyond me.
Source: http://www.slashgear.com/htc-sense-online-portal-open-for-desire-hddesire-z-users-07106331/
Quoted directly from HTC press release:
"Ever had a moment when you couldn’t locate your phone, or even left a mobile phone somewhere? HTCSense.com gives users peace of mind should this ever occur. You can easily locate a missing phone by triggering the handset to ring loudly, even if it is set to silent, or to flag its location on a map. If the phone’s been lost or stolen, users can remotely lock the phone, forward calls and texts to another phone, send a message to the phone to arrange its return or even remotely wipe all personal data from it."

This Xora scheme and not offering Unlimited Data is whats killing the company, when will they wake up and realize this?
Iphone isnt the end of the world but its the other 'In' device other than Android phones of course so why not bring back at least unlimited data to prevent people from jumping ship to another carrier?
Its funny, a few days ago I threatened to cancel and they said they couldn't give it to me because I never had it in the first place and to contact corporate.
Why iPhone users are granted exclusivity to that feature is phonecist as well, hahaha. Yeah I know I made up a word.

Anybody figure out how to order off premier and NOT get the Xora crap ?

its $99.99 new or upgrade plan without xora... if it wont let you do it online just go in to the store.

I just got mine for 69.99 at the att store locally. They will price match the website, dont let them say they wont. Also no zora either. 75$ and sum change out the door.

You can also call ATT Premier Services and speak with them directly.
Got my Inspire for 49.99 because I *****ed about " not beign able to order online " due to some glitch with there website.
Been a customer with ATT / Cingular for 8 years now. They may seem like they don't care but trust me, if the first person you talk to gives you ****, just request to speak with a manager and have them pull some strings.
49.99 with no activation fee.. great deal

What glitch were you getting exactly? I'm thinking of calling later and trying to get a deal.

I dont know about this. I do believe you are telling the truth, it seems like no one at best buy knows. I was at best buy yesterday and the guy told me 24th along with motorola Xoom. I have a droid x and my 14 days are up on the 23rd. If its the 24th I am going to go in on the 23rd and return the droid x and get the thunderbolt the next day.

Both Minnesota Districts have no Thunderbolts in stock and 0 on the way, and 0 in the territory warehouse. I watched as the employee in Lakeville, MN today showed me the RSS page (Best Buy Inventory program). Had the right SKU, $749.99 price. Sad to say but it is really looking like the 24th. Keep in mind, these are the 2 districts their headquarters reside in. There wasn't even any in Edina, the location that is literally across the street from Best Buy HQ...
The question to the Florida guy, did you physically see these stock numbers?

Lol... while I hope it comes tomorrow, this forum is getting ridiculous. I didn't receive a call from my best buy, but I don't care. I won't be using my pre order unless it comes with free tethering or an ounce of gold. $750 off contract? Might as well start a line and pay the etf... wtf.

Trust me I want to believe! I was just throwing in what I found today. And im not calling the guy in florida a liar either. Having worked at best buy in shakopee, mn for nearly a year, 3 years ago, I never saw a product that suddenly change to show tons of stock and see none on the way. Only way I see this as being possible is if Verizon and best buy made a huge deal along the lines of "hide the tracking info in case the iphone sales flop we will let you exclusively release it early." Just my thoughts.
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App

Well I've bought alot of Phones from BestBuy In some cases, they would not get that phone until Fedex delivered it on that release day. I dunno Maybe the Verizon rep is right or wrong, but never the less its coming this month.

I don't know why they'd release it without advertising...most likely to help the iphone get as many sales as possible, but that's just sad. this thing is a beast, and deserves the kind of marketing the EVO got from Sprint..

a week ago i made a post saying it was gonna be the 14th, when i was on the phonewith various people from besy buy corp, id say about 50/50 of the time, id get a response saying...stores will start selling them on the 14th, however the stores who had the bad winter storms could be as late is the 17th.
is wisconsin one of those state that got 2 feet of snow by chance?
with that said, id think that was period when the phones were actually shipped, (when all the snow went through the midwest areas) apparently with a "tell no one they are here" note stuck to them? just my theory for what its worth i guess

G2 dock...get it here!

Alright here we go. I just listed the dock on ebay. Auction starts at $.99 cents plus shipping. Everyone has a chance this way. Good luck.

If you can get lucky and find one at a TMO store, but I doubt it. They aren't making anymore.

Is there a possibility for worldwide shipping? I'm from Brazil and my chances for getting to a T-Mo store are zero (finding a Desire Z around here was an epic quest already)... So my only chance for finding this one-of-a-kind dock is through a eBay auction.
Thanks in advance and sorry for the bad english!

It's because people don't know how to bid on ebay. A 6-day auction starts at .99 cents and someone bids $15 right off the bat. There's still 6 days left! Save your big bidding for the last 5 minutes of the auction. That's of course, from the buyer's point of view.
From the seller's point of view however, it's great! I've been there. ROGUE7474, well done sir, you are gonna make a good profit on your sale
*disclaimer: in case someone here gets hurt by my comments, it's just my opinion, bid away.

I just upgraded to the Samsung Infuse 4G through AT&T website and got a refurbished one for $19.99.
Just today 8/27/2011 so dont know how long its been at this price. I had been checking in on it for some time but the owest they had dropped the refurbished one

Wal-Mart Special!
Just seen today with a qualifying 2 year contract they are going to for $98.99..I paid $160.00 for mine at our local Costco.

If you're a costco member, it might be worth the extra money to buy it there. They give you 90 days to decide if you like the phone, with unlimited exchanges and model swaps.

I believe, if you wait a week, you can get the sgs2. Fyi

$19 at Costco ... special sale. There was a big sign last Thursday on the mobile booth. Think it lasts a few weeks. This was in Union NJ but I assume it is national (I think it is in their latest coupon book).

More like "at least" 3 weeks.

Thats for the info! I'm not a costco member, but will look into that this morning. My thought on the sg2 is that it will be $200 when it is released (next week, next month, whenever), and will not come into the $50 range anytime soon.

I believe you can tell them you want to "check it out" and they will give you a 1 day shopping pass but you pay 10% more. It's also possible you can buy at the mobile kiosk without being a member (just like the pharmacy). Besides, you must have at least 1 friend who is a member.

Just looked online, Costco on line is $119. I did notice that several of the phone prices are cheaper instore, vs online. Walmart online was $129, but $98 in the store. Might be time for a road trip, nearest Costco is 50 miles away.

or, as my wife is advising me, I could just wait........

I doubt you'd be able to buy it without a membership. I don't know about the one-day pass, but when I purchased mine at costco, the mobile kiosk sent me to the regular checkout with a voucher to pay (where they checked my costco card as usual), and they had me wait there while someone ran back to pick up my phone/accessories.
One additional point is that you do get a free car charger and some other useless crap along with your purchase, so if the prices are similar, you save the $5-10 if you actually want one.

[Q] good idea to buy second hand?

it's out of stock everywhere and the only option now is second hand, should i go for it? my other option would to buy a ipad 2 16gb but i feel that won't be enough data for me and i am so used to android, anyone give me advice?

Uh... I would say, wait until they get some stock? Find a place that will restock? Import? Craigslist may also offer some new ones from people who bought at a discounted price.

i can't wait till they get stock, it could be up till a month before they come back (can you go a whole month without a tablet?) and the price would increase and i would miss out on the £50 cashback, i can't even buy second hand from cex they are all gone, its all because of christmas, bah humbug i say!
i will try the stores on the high street today but i've checked all their stock online, they are all gone, i think i will have no choice but to buy a ipad 2, its either that or go without a tablet for a whole month, i can't use a samsung galaxy S2 to browse the web e.t.c LOL screen is tiny and impossible to type with (using it now to type this post)

I would go without a tablet for a month. You want warranty for something like this. I had the opportunity to get a used but unopened note off craigslist for $75 less but I decided against it.
Sent from my GT-N8010 using Android Central Forums

i found one from the high street, it costs more at £355 but i am happy i have got one, i don't think i would have been happy with a ipad anyway.

Picked one up at tescos(York) yesterday for £318 and to quote the samsung guy 'there's load in stock'.... sure you tried everywhere?!
And for those that dont know you have to purchase up to and including the 31st December to be entitled to the £50 cashback.
EDIT: By the way, something else I also found out yesterday which could be relevant to you, is that Tescos website on purpose prevents you from checking stock of these items.

yeah i saw tesco direct website had the tablet for £318 but i heard such bad stories about their delivery i decided to pass on that and that is strange, why would they not let you check stock on online :S
i am going to claim my £50 cashback tomorrow, gotta setup the tablet tonight so tired too.

Oh sorry didn't see you managed to grab one! Annoyingly you cant start cashback claim process until 15 days after you buy it...probs to prevent you buying one claiming cash back and taking it back. But at the same time it has to be claimed before 60 days......probably in the hope you forget to claim!

Basically you're perfectly fine. if you look here:

At no. 2. You just have to claim before the 28th feb(or 60 days after purchase, whichever is sooner), but have to have BOUGHT it before the 31st December. And you have. so youll have no probs! Just make sure you claim before that 60 days expires.
