$550 plus tax for US sensation

When was the last time a phone was this high? It will probably be like 575 after taxes... after watching all of the videos.. it doesn't seem worth the price of a computer. This is like crime. I always buy my phones out right because I don't like to wait for contract renewals but another 75? I bet if they added more internal memory and a better video camera and screen it would be like 800 huh? Lol maybe I need to back off on being a phone fanatic lol

The Nexus One was $529.. so not much has changed with pricing when it comes to HTC smartphones.

That was still Google branded but the majority of HTC US phones are like 500. I dunno.. I ain't flipping out but if the price is gonna continue to go up, they can be more solid with their product functionality

Amazon lists the Atrix for $599, and the Droid X for $559. I agree it's way too much. Just saying...

Non-contract is sim free?

Tmobile non contract is meaning buying out right.. no half price off

For whatever reason I had $499 on my mind...
$549 plus tax in LA @9.75% equals $602 and some change...
At this price point, I'm reconsidering purchasing this phone now as I'm pretty happy with the MyTouch 4G running Virtuous Fusion 1.1.2.
There's always Craigslist.

That's presently irrelevant in the US, because it hasn't been released in the US. I bet when it is released here, it's under $600.

I paid $650 for my GS2 with tax.

My Incredible was 550 six months after release. This doesn't seem outrageous.

Dunno why you're complaining, you guys have it cheap. In europe the average new phone, no contract costs $700-$800 usd. Currently the HTC sensation costs ~430pounds ($700usd) in the uk. The galaxy s ii also costs ~430pounds in europe and $800 aud in australia. The atrix is even more expensive, costing 500pounds ($850usd).

Well I'm thinking y'all probably get paid more over in the uk or something. Where is the logic of the phones being like 100 to 200 dollars more? That's crazy and yeah we complain if HTC isn't giving it their all and not producing a better than good product for almost 600 dollars.

I'd pay that kind of money for the phone if:
1) It comes with almost no flaws/bugs
2) Its a Pentaband GSM/HSDPA Phone
2) I have full control over it (rooting)
3) I get at least 5 years of guranteed timely updates
Last I bought a Asus laptop for this much

True, but what the warranty covers wouldn't apply to me anyways, so it didn't matter.

Guess phones are going up now. When I bought my hd2 full price last year from tmo us it was like $450

Yeah, it's like $500. Confusing...

Is there fine print?

What's stopping me from adding 2 lines to my plan, getting 2 skyrockets or iphones for next to nothing, then selling them for $280 each, then buying out the contact on the 2 new lines, and pocketing $160? Am I missing some fine print?

Seriously? This is the worst idea ever. I know you need the money, but this is not the way to do it.
Like someone said, it's going to cost you $722 plus tax just to get them both off contract. You won't make a profit, period. That's even if you go for the iPhones because no one's going to buy a 3GS when it's about to be unsupported starting TODAY in like a few hours time. The iPhone 4 8GB is not worth it either when you can get the 16GB for the same price.
When people look to buy phones, they don't want them at retail prices, which is what you would have to do in order to make a profit.

Actually latest report I read said 3GS actually showed up on the leaked iOS6 file links.
*confirmed now
Seriously wish Android makers would steal this aspect from Apple. One of the biggest downsides to Android is most of the phones lose official support in 10-16 months. Apple is still updating 3GS after 3 years.

Considering selling. Pricing input needed.

Im really wanting a nexus, in order to get it I would need to sell my g2x. I was curious as to thoughts on pricing.
This phone has not had the reboot issues others have had. It has a slight scratch on the screen, but its only noticeable in direct sunlight. The bezel has a few dings in it. To be honest, its a great dependable phone that I hate to sell, but I want something that's better supported.
Any input on a price to sell it would be great.
Thanks.

if you can get 200 for it id say its a good sell... ive seen them on craigslist for as low as 150 but if you can get 200 id say you made out alright... at least you got out of what you invested in it

For a sale on XDA I'd start with $175.

I'm interested as well as pricing, I'm in Phoenix, AZ so the craigslist market is pretty good, and full of kids itching tto spend money. Mine is like the Guy's report stating no reboots and minor wear and tear. I'm putting mine up for 175$ cause people are going to low ball anyways. I'll be pretty happy with 150$ though, anything more is kinda hoping for too much.

I haven't gotten a phone on contract since the sidekick. So unfortunately I paid a bit more than 200. I hate being locked into overpriced plans. Prepaid is the way to go.
I was hoping between this and the g2 I have I would be able to get a nexus without adding any out of pocket money.. unemployment sucks, but I gotta feed my phone addiction. Lol.. looking like I might have to throw in some cash tho.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium

I tried selling my phone with case for $200 and then dropped it to190 but didn't get any hits. You'll definitely want to go lower (maybe $175 is a sweet spot for some people).

I tried putting my perfect condition G2x on craigslist for $200 with 3 cases, 2 extra batteries, and a 16 GB Micro SD, and I got lowballed like crazy. Most offers I got were around the $125 range (one guy even offered $90! ) I eventually got somebody to buy it for the $200, but it took a couple days.

Mint g2x should go for ~200$
Good condition ~150$
That's with minimal or no accessories, don't let those lowballs get you down

Sell on Ebay and start the bid at $1. You'll be surprised how quickly the bids come in.
Sold a bb tourch for $175 on there. And my old MT3G for about $140.

Ebay insertion fee (for items that start auction at $0.01–$0.99) = $0.10
Ebay Value Fee (This is ebay's fee after you sell the item) = 9% of the total value
Paypal fee = 2.9% + $0.30 PER TRANSACTION
Not to bad, I mean, I prefer this route instead of dealing with it privately when its for stuff like this of course.

I got $265 for mine but sold to a buddy of mine with a bunch of extra 2 extended batteries and one stock battery. one naked shield and case and charger.

[Q] tmobile insurance question

So the day i got my g2x i signed up for insurance that covers everything. And since tmobile discontinued the g2x, if i loose my phone or someone steals it, how will i get a replacement? Will they give me choices of different phones to choose from?

There's a thread in discussion that summarizes this: if something happens, you pay $130 and can choose an HTC sensation or if you push them a galaxy s2.

it's just like your auto or health insurance. Just because you pay the premiums, you still have a time of service deductible you're responsible for.
Now if it's a warranty problem, they send a refurbished G2x with a much smaller warranty processing fee
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium

Basically you have to pay for a replacement for anything other than hardware failure. So if you lose it or its stolen or water damage you have to pay. Now let's say your speakers fail or button stops working or even the charger port like mine was they will replace it for "free" as they say, but still make you pay a $5 fee to exchange your phone
Sent from my LG-P999

so lets say i make my own hardware issue and send them the phone, will they send me another g2x or one of the other phones?

Your fault= insurance= large deductible= different phone
LG 's fault= warranty= small processing fee= refurbished G2x
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium

These deductibles are pointless. Might as well get a new phone. But to stay on topic, yeah you will still get your G2x refurb. If they dont have any, $130- $150 for S2 or Sensation.

Class action lawsuit lol

Just received a letter saying the owners of the g2x won in a class action lawsuit. Lol we are entitled to $19 lol. Anyone else get this?

Its kind of weird that it went to my girlfriend's address.

Anybody get the money? Any snags?

Thanks lg !

Instead of $19 per litigant, LG should have provided ICS and we would be happy with that but the lawyers must be paid their $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ so they settled for the cash to get their $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$... Lawyers get the most $ out of any class-action lawsuit which is why class-action lawsuits are a farce.

Lol got mine yesterday... funny cuz my wife and I both got our G2X's for free from a co-worker. AND its addressed to my wife! Wonder if we'll get another one...

I bought mine used, and I got the postcard.
I'm pretty sure T-Mobile is able to see what phone is being used on their network.
Oh well, 19 bucks is 19 bucks

I got my post card yesterday.
$19 is a ridiculuos amount. but something is better than nothing. Submitted my online claim today.

You don't need to have a claim form to get the money,go to LGPhoneSettlement.com to file a claim. I might get $28 because I had a replacement a few months after buying one.

I heard we get an additional $19 for each replacement phone too.. Which is nice since I got like 5

It is very mysterious how they knew what addresses to send them to.
The address I'm currently living at has never been on my t-mobile account. They're obviously pulling public records searches based on both purchase and usage data from T-Mobile.

I bought mine new from an eBay dealer and I also got one replacement from that dealer. The letter says that you have to had bought your phone from T-Mobile in order to get your $19 and that you might have to submit proof of this. I think it's just a load of BS on LG's part.

yup got this post card too. I wonder is this legit or its scam for info? Im glad I got rid of that pos phone waiting and waiting for LG to release ICS and the same goes for Samsung Galaxy. Both phones were flagship but they pulled plug on them so quick

I got this as well and got rid of the g2x a few months after release. Thou i think they sent it out to all T-Mobile customers because my mom got one and she never owned a g2x.
