Hey guys now that the Atrix is being released early I'm kind of convinced to go for it. I took the jump to an off-contract Inspire 4G from my previous Samsung Captivate. Does anyone know how AT&T handles their return policies - (if I wanted to trade in the Inspire for an Atrix+ additional money)

Although I recommend staying as the inspire will likely have a more vibrant Dev community, its typically 14 days to exchange with a possible 15% restocking fee that you may be able to argue out of.

if you purchased from a AT&T Store it is 30 days plus 35.00 restocking. This doesnt change from store to store. If you deal with a Kiosk then there is return policy differences. But Corp policy doesnt vary.

In a cor store the only items with a 14 return period are tablets and the Atrix laptop dock. All phones have 30 day return with restocking fee. I know my store will waive that fee most of the time though.

Thats why I bought from Best Buy, same 30 days and no RSF.
tried buying from bestbuy this morning but they wouldn't budge from the $599 outright purchase price. So away I went to the att store for $399.

They should have priced matched. I like to buy as much as possible from bestbuy to earn points and because they will price match.
All I did was pull up the webpage, take them to the price and they did say "That looks like an online offer only, we don't match online offers, only retail" But I pointed out the part on the site that said I could go pick one up from a ATT Retail store for 399, and that there was one two blocks away. Boom price match. They did have to have some head manager dude override something that I had to wait like 15 minutes for him but other then that it was smooth.
Plus as I'm a silver rewards member, I can return it in 45 days
Atrix is going to have battery issues and major heat issues.... Watch and see.
I am sticking with HTC. They could not have made a better phone. Just perfect in every way. So much so that I do not even want to flash the phone. Just want root then I will be complete.

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.

Where was it? I was about to buy one from craigslist for $350. Would anyday prefer the phone without contract at that price.
And was that a Samsung corporate store?
$199.99+tax, upgrade, 11AM EST opening day
Got two,
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.

Hey guys, the G2X is now here, and guess what - I just got mine today from Costco.
The price was $149 after $50 mail-in rebate. For an upgrade. And it came with everything that comes from t-mo, but it also came with an extra car charger, leather pouch, and a bluetooth device. It was a great surprise for me, and if you are waiting for the right moment to get the G2X - now would be a good time.

If you want to get it off contract - its the same price in costco as it is in T-Mobile store. Your best bet is to go and look for it in craigslist, as they do have good deals sometimes. But if its over 500 - dont buy it, just get a new one for a few more bucks, and you will know that if something happens - you can return.
Wow, they list it as $399 retail but no option to purchase online for retail...

You could have upgraded with a 2 year contract, then just paid the ETF and you'd still have it cheaper ~$400 ...

I called Costco yesterday and the guy said that they won't be getting the phone for a couple of weeks! I guess he doesn't know what he's talking about.
oh and btw, costco will not sell the phone off contract. your better off just getting it at tmo
Got mine yesterday at a T-Mo store.
They discounted the phone to $450 and gave me $95 in accessories for $65.
$515 plus tax.
Even More Plus, no sweat.
I am a Costco Manager so hopefully I can shed some truths.
1. Wireless advocate our subcontract company (owned by CarToys WA) is stocking the g2x. Stores should have received an initial shipment of 5 phones yesterday and another 5 today. If they claim they dont have phone, ask them to check stock. I bet its in receiving dock area.
2. The phone is available to non-contract customers for $399.99. The issue is that the employees do not get a commission for non contract sales. So many times they will refuse to sell full price for a couple weeks so they can get there spiffs. HOWEVER Costco is customers are always first. If you demand, go find an acutual Costco manager and have them assist you with Kiosk personal. That brings me to point 3.
3. Be prepared if in a state that has sales tax to pay tax on full $399.99 This is our policy unless you buy online at Costco.com. But you can use this to your advatage if buying full price and they refuse. Say well than how come upgrade customers have to pay tax on full price. Remind them you know that they are required by Costco to sell Tmobile phones at full price. No other brands in Costco Cell kiosk are sold to non contract. Only Tmobile and that is why the full tax issue. You just need to push and you can get it full price.
4. Best thing is you are protected for 90 days with your phone. You can return, exchange phone for any reason. I use my first phone as a test phone. I test the hell out of it and return for keeper phone before the 90 days is out. Plus if a better phone comes out I get that. Love the 90 days!
Hope this helps!

Hi, I got my G2x recently and love it with all the customization I did on it. Now I want to buy one for my wife, but do not want go for another contract and monthly rate. My wife already has a prepaid account with t-mobile.
So if I buy the phone today (coming for free with 2yr contract) and cancel the account after 20 days and pay them around $270 ($200 ETF + $35 Activation + around $35 for 20 days of service), will there be anything wrong?
Hope T-mobile will not ask me to return the phone if I it is after 20 days and I pay the ETF.
Did anyone has done this in past?
thats how i got my g2x to start with..i paid the 199$ with 50$ rebate so 149$ paid etf after 15 days 200$ paid 349$ when phone was 500$ outright.
they said nothing.

Thanks for confirming that. At less than 300 its a nice phone to have..
If you can do that you are getting an excellent price for this device new. I paid $255 plus shipping for an excellent condition used device. New ones from reputable websites cost over $450.00. You are fulfilling your obligation under the contract you agreed to so I see nothing wrong in doing this. This type of practice is why Verizon raised their ETF fees. People were getting new phones, paying a $150 cancellation fee and then selling the devices on eBay for more than double what they paid.
Try going to Target. My local target just gave me an amazing deal. They have much more leniance when it comes to upgrades and new plans. Im on a family plan with 5 lines. Only 2 were eligable for upgrade. He gave us 4 phones at upgrade price while only upgrading 2 lines. Three G2X's @ $149.99 each.
I just ordered the G2x for my wife. Wish there was a way to tell t-mobile that I really do not need 20 days of service and want to cancel now
Go on ebay, you can find a bunch of these phones on their now.

Minimum I could find is $315. And ebay purchases always have issue with warranty. So getting form t-mobile for less than $300 is much better.
Wow. you guys are brilliant. lol. I think i'm gonna try that now that the g2x is free.
If it works out then great. I'd make sure to read through any fine print very carefully before making any commitment to sign or cancel the contract. Are there special conditions/fees when you're getting the handset for free?
Yea he has to carry the data plan on that line also for the.partial month so that's another small fee you have to figure in plus activation fee.

You are right about eBay. No warranty as they are resales and/or not authorized resellers. The warranty is for original purchaser from authorized sales channel only. eBay and Craigslist are not authorized sales channels. Go the T-Mobile route and have a warranty. Good catch. Enjoy your low cost phones.
This should be stickied, haha. Tmobile would be getting all kinds of people doing this.
dont make a habit of buying phones!! I have a pretty long list of them, anyways Ill probably being selling a sensation for a g2x and $140 today. Just not a fan of sense UI!

That's one of the reasons I bought a G2X and imported it to Thailand. The 2X models sold here have the god awful LG UI, which appears to be a mimic of the Samsung CrapUI. I hate them all. I prefer plain Android UI thank you. Plus the demo unit I saw at the LG store at a local mall here had more craplications on it then I have ever seen before. Three or four screens of them. Way more than the few apps T-Mobile forces upon us.
Yea MIUI is running pretty nice on mine. Loaded up Go Launcher and I'm pretty happy.
Really happy with this phone. Lots of development for it. CM7, MIUI, custom stock, OC/UV kernels. Very nice.

I hope more people can take advantage of this. I happen to live in a market that won't see LTE until the 1st or 2nd quarter next year and only paid $149.99 from a local corp. store. They should price it the same everywhere (corp stores that is) imho...

Strange... I called At&t on Monday and asked if I could upgrade early (I wasn't eligible for an upgrade until January 15th). Not only was I told yes, but I was given the $150 price for the Skyrocket. And in my zipcode it was coming up as 250 online.
Plus, I was told they will waive the upgrade fee. (I still have to call now that I have the phone to make sure that happens).
All I did was just ask nicely for the upgrade and the rest just happened. Now I've got my phone and I couldn't be happier.

i want to early upgrade too! how many months do i have left on current contract to be eligible?
I bought mine for $149.99 also. I called AT&T and complained about the fact that I had to pay $249 when others in CA or NY have only to pay $149.
After 30min on the phone the answer was still "no we can't do anythinbg the best price I can offer you is $239" When I told her that I could buy the same phone for $199 at walmart or Radioshack she said she was sorry but could do more.
I told her it was sad because at least Verizon and T-Mobile are not changing their price depending of the city and then I asked to talk to a manager.
The manager was "not available" but I got the promise he will call me asap. One our later, I got a phone call, the price was accepted, $149.
It was worth the time
Am I the only one who would rather pay the $100 than spend 30+ minutes on the phone with an ATT CSR?
Hmm my local ATT store asked me what area code showed 149.99, but ones I knew that should have showed 149 seemed 250 and he said he cant bring down the price.
What area code shows 149 still from ATT website.
If you bought it from Bestbuy, just print out a screen shot of the AT&T website showing $149 and they will refund you the $100. I attempted only 1 time and had no problem.

I just went to Bestbuy and showed them the price on my phone. So he looked on their computers and it said $250 and that it was because my zip was in Oklahoma City on my phone(I used the zipcode a few posts back). I just said my parents moved out there, and after this semester of school I would be moving too. I just said I didn't want to return it and have to have my parents buy it and ship it to me.
He asked a manager and they approved it. Probably didn't want to lose store numbers on contract renewals and bit the hundred bucks.
I would advise saying you didn't want to have to return it and buy it there if your zip is different, they want to keep their numbers up.
My boy TimmyB44 on AndroidCentral put me on to the fact that according to the local RadioShack ad in todays newspaper, they are offering the Atrix 2 for free. So if you got your Atrix 2 from Best Buy within the last 30 days you can get them to match the price and get a refund. Having just gone through the process let me let you know what happens.
First thing you want to do is contact your local Radio Shack and see if they have the phone in stock, once you find the store that has them, notate their phone number and call Best Buy at 1.800.BEST.BUY and request a price match. They will ask you for the store phone number so they can confirm they have the phone in stock and it's price. Once they do so they will submit the price match and you will be credited the difference (in my case, $49.99) within a week to 10 days. Make sure you get your case# just in case, at least you'll have something to follow up on should you not see the credit in that timeframe.
Will already be free at bestbuy after Thanksgiving. Ad already out. Sgs2 will be 49.99 at radio shack though,so my atrix2 will be returned anyway.

Yep, sure will, will that help those who bought theirs prior to the 24th of last month? Not at all. Not only that, but Best Buy does not price match for items for sale Thanksgiving Day through the Monday after Thanksgiving. So hopefully it stays free after the Black Friday sales so they can get price matched too.
I just did what you said and I called the phone number and they told me they prefer doing the price match at the store. They also want you to gave the receipt and after that they processed it and they returned all of my money. So my phone is was completely free. No tax no nothing. Free. Thanks for the tip!!! E

They didn't need my receipt as it was in my account electronically, they even emailed it to me the day I got it. So hopefully the same happens here, full refund.
Would this apply if I bought from AT&T? (In AT&T they matched my price to Bestbuy's $49.99)

I was super surprised that they gave full refund. I got my receipt from customer service so it worked out well. Did they give you your money back yet or is it being processed?

They should be able to. If not, then just return it because you're within 30 days to cancel everything. Then go to RadioShack and buy it. lol.

It's being processed, she said it would take a week to 10 days. I'm in no rush to get it so I can wait. I will let you know how much they refunded though.

Except that AT&T charges a $35 restock fee. You'll waste more than the $15 in gas.

Do you have a link to this ad ? or more details ?
Will Radio Shack or Best Buy be able to handle making sure that I don't lose my unlimited data plan? I picked up my Atrix 2 last week (even knowing about the other deals coming) because to me that's more important.
(I also tried to get the AT&T store to match the Best Buy $49.99 price on Friday, but they wouldn't. I did get them to forego to the $18 upgrade fee, at least.)
I've got 30 days, so can take the Atrix 2 back to AT&T, but fear that Radio Shack or Best Buy will screw with the unlimited data, and then it'll be more hassle than this is all worth to get it straightened out.

I don't think they will screw the unlimited data part. They don't change anything in your plan. They just change your phone and change the dates for when you can upgrade again. I am sure if you ask them it should be fine.

Ok, so here is the story:
I bought the Atrix 2 at a AT&T store, asked about the price match with Bestbuy and they agreed. Got my phone for $49.99.
Then realizing of the RadioShack price (free) I decided to ask AT&T for a refund. I went to the AT&T store and they said they couldn't refund me with money but they would put it towards my cell phone bill.
So that's is, got my phone for free!!!

I purchased an AT&T Samsung Galaxy S2 on October 19th and exchanged it for an Atrix 2 on November 4th for $49.99. I called 1800bestbuy about the price match.They looked up my purchase and told me since I purchased it in store that I would have to go to a store for the price match. I drive to the store and they called Radio Shack to confirm the price. They then spent 45 minutes trying to do the price match. Computers were very slow and kept going down and freezing up. Finally the BB mobile manager came over to help. They finally said I could not price match because I was past the 30 days. The 30 days started from October 19th and not November 4th. My receipt said I had until December 4th for a return. I was not happy at wasting gas and time to drive to the store, since I should have been told this over the phone when I called the 800 number. I complained to 1800bestbuy and they requested a giftcard for me, I guess I may try calling another store and see what they tell me over the phone.

The phone csr was wrong, I bought my phone in store as well and I got my refund processed while I was sitting at home in my boxers. But the store manager was right, the 30 days doesnt start over when you exchange a phone, the 30 days starts on the date of the original purchase. At least you get a $5 gift card out of it, now ur phone was only $45!

I can also confirm that this worked with the AT&T store. I actually bought mine originally for $99 a few weeks ago. I brought in the Radio Shack ad (they insisted on needed the actual ad--internet price doesn't count) and they've already given me a $100 credit to my account! Free phone (except for a bit of tax)!
