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

I am pretty sure that T-MO will enforce the requirement for a data plan, am I right? Are you currently under contract?

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.
I got mine for $511 with a case.

This is my plan, I am on sprint right now and when I look at my bill my minutes are so low I barely break fifty a month. Data usage can go high on months, I just plan on using my gizmo account with the built in SIP for the random call I need to make when I am about town, also will be porting in my current cell number into google voice.

To get a Nexus S with the data only plan (webConnect plan), you must buy the Nexus S at full price. Then call up T-Mobile and request the webConnect plan, and give them the SIM card number for your Nexus S (there's an unactivated SIM card included with every Nexus S).
The only way to get the subsidized price is to start a new 2-year voice+data contract.
So my contract is up and I'm thinking about switching to ATT. I'm going to wait until the inspire 4g first. Any thoughts on ATT?
The EVO you wish you had
Data plans sucks to be honest
Right now I pay 140 a month with a 20% discount. This is for a family data plan. I would get the same discount with ATT. I think I would pay about 160 or 170 with ATT

I think it comes to around $100 a month for a single line, not sure, never had a contract in my life jsut stuck around with prepaid. also you must be carefull when on roaming, as charges are heavy. if your just going for the phone, then you should wait as there are more phones coming to other networks
Thanks for the info. I didn't know ATT charged roaming.

Frankly, if you live somewhere without 3G and want to use data, AT&T really sucks.
All this fastest network crap is moot when verizon and tmobile have high speed networks where I live and it takes me a full minute to load a web page.

Im in the same boat all my phones are going to be up this year and was thinking of switching to Tmo. but i have been with sprint for 9 or 10 years now and have not had one problem. so i might just stay with sprint.
Im on ATT and im on a family plan right now; my phone costs a total of 30 bucks a month (5 for having the line, 25 for 2gb data).
You should definitely wait until mwc to see what all comes out. The inspire looks really good though.
Captivate 2.2.1 Paragon
I used to have AT&T and I switched to T-mo when the Nexus S was released. I got tired of my iphone and wanted to experience android. So glad i did!
I had been on AT&T for 7 years (4 years being an iphone user) and never really had any issues with there service.
I travel alot and always got wonderful reception no matter where I went ( besides LA, if you live in LA avoid AT&T)
if your looking to switch to AT&T I would deff check out the Moto Atrix 4G. Although I never liked motorola to be honest and think there phones are junk. There putting an a killer phone. Tegra 2 processor. Super AMOLED plus LCD.
Check out the Atrix 4G over the inspire, the inspire is sort of old technology I feel like when compared to the new powerhouse phones coming out with tegra 2's.
HTC should of revamped the Inspire with new internals instead of just rebranding the Desire.
Go for a company with a Unlimited Data Plan. I hate the ATT Data Plan.
The phone is definitely enticing; always being a lover of big screened phones (On att, using a Captivate now) I love the design of the phone.
Of course im going ti wait until MWC to do anything; I have an upgrade and I plan on making ot a great one.

I'm totally on this one. I love my Nexus One, but I'm craving something with a little more power. A 2nd gen Snapdragon should be fine for me for around 2 years, especially since I'm using the money I make flipping my Nexus One to put towards a new tablet (hopefully a dual core HTC Honeycomb tablet). I'll still tinker with my phone a lot, but I want a tablet to be my next droolworthy device.
So yeah, I'll be at my local AT&T store when they open on the 13th to get mine. Can't wait to see CM7 and ADW EX running on that sexy hardware.
Moved to general as not android development
I'm definitely getting one!
I always had HTC phones and I loved them all. Made the switch to a Blackberry last year because of work now I can't wait to put the Blackberry in storage for the Inspire
By the way, I read that the non-commitment price would be $499. Is that confirmed?
Just wish it had a Front Facing camera That's the only thing that is making me want the Atrix/Infuse over the Inspire
I'm just gonna buy one retail, that's how I get most of my phones nowadays anyway. I'll save my contract renewal for something big. I'm fairly excited for this device

radio shack is having a pre-order for the Inspire from now until the 9th. you have to buy a $50.00 gift card to secure your order, they are selling the phone for $99.00 with no mail-in rebate. you also get a $30.00 store credit for using to buy accessories for the phone. you have to buy the $25.00 data plan as well. I already have the $30.00 unlimited and I asked if I get to keep it and they said yes (we will see)
"I already have the $30.00 unlimited and I asked if I get to keep it and they said yes (we will see)" - I really hope we don't get screwed into this 200mb cap...
I'm getting one - 8 more days guys!
It all depends on weather the 30 dollar unlimited data plan was already on a smartphone if not they will move you to the 2gig 25 dollar data plan
XDA app on CM7
I plan on waking up at the ass-crack of dawn and heading to the local AT&T Corporate Store 15 or 20 minutes before they open to pick one up the 13th.
My upgrade isn't up until the 8th so I can't preporder yet, I don't think. Talk about nice timing for an upgrade though!
Those those talking about your unlimited data plan and if you're going to lose it...
No, you won't.
AT&T is trying to tell me that I, a current iPhone user, with unlimited data, will lose it when I move to the Inspire. Well, they're wrong.
AT&T FAQ said:
Q: I am using a Smartphone Data Unlimited Plan. Do I need to sign up for a DataPlus or DataPro plan instead? Can I switch Between these New Data Plans As Needed?
A: If you were on a Smartphone Data Unlimited plan prior to June 7th, 2010, and would prefer to keep it, no problem! Even if you choose to upgrade to a new Smartphone and/or extend your contract. You may choose to move from your unlimited plan to either a DataPlus or DataPro plan. However, once you have moved to a DataPlus or DataPro plan, your old unlimited plan will no longer be available.

Honestly I hate the whole 1230mAh size too.
And in regards to the FFC I don't really see the point of it other than the 3 second WOW factor when first buying.
If that is going to save us from spending an additional 50 - 100 dollars Id rather save that money for something else.
I've been snooping around and it seems as if in the U.K. there are Desire HD aftermarket batteries with 1500 mAh.
I don't see why they can't sell/make them available in the U.S.
For $99, and even less if you buy through RadioShack because of the FREE $30 gift card you can't go wrong.

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.
