depending on where you are in your contract with AT&T, you might be able to get one for as low as $59, depending on the reseller and if they are willing to use part of their commission to give you a discount for a two-year renewal. If it is too early for you to qualify for a discount on the upgrade, try Amazon, eBay or Craigslist.

no contract is 399, which is incredibly cheap for a phone full price. i'm tempted to buy this every day because of its 399 price tag. other devices are 550-600 for the same quality phone.
your other choice is craigslist or ebay. great deals exist.

I want to get a G2x off contract because i work at a radioshack and can go on tmobile's dealer plan if i buy the phone outright. I've checked ebay and craigslist which had pretty good prices but i was wondering if you guys knew of any other places that people may not generally go or know about.
I scoured Craigslist for a couple weeks and negotiated price with a few people until I found a deal I was comfortable with. I would think eBay and CL are going to be your best bet for getting a good deal buying it outright.

Off contracts it's gonna be pretty much the same price everywhere. I get a 10% discount at target so that kinda cancelled out the tax so I saved around $50
got mine for 330 off somebody on Craigslist

Craigslist !
I just got one yesterday for $260 off Craigslist.
TMobile wants $535 with sales tax.
I'm going to watch craigslist for a cheap Sensation when its released too.
Usually about a month after release new phones start showing up on there for cheap.

If you plan on getting a good deal on craigslist you have to almost live on there.
Most really good deals are gone within a half hour from when its posted.
Mine had been on there half hour when I texted him that I'd take it.
I plan on getting a Sensation on there like that too.
Just bored on a saturday sitting on the PC waiting for something good.
i think costco and other retailer add a separate etf
Costco actually sells the phone off contract for 399.99
I got mine from Radio Shack for $450. Signed up for their credit card that gave me 10% off. Not the cheapest but still a pretty good price for this phone IMO.
I bought mine outright from T-Mobile, paid $250 up front but they let me finance the rest through my monthly bill. It's pretty awesome cause even with financing the other 250 bucks my cell phone bill is still $20 less than what it was with AT&T.

I'm still within my 30 window to take back.... I just don't know anyone with a Costco card. I could use $100 though.
Can I get a confirmation at Costco? I'm about to find someone with a Costco card if this is the case.

Anyone have any idea where can buy an HTC Sensation 4G for $250? Not rioted, not unlocked, just stock and refurbished (as if I could get an unsubsidized one for so low) ? I'm getting into porting random ROMs to the myTouch 4G, but I need a secondary Android phone for when the MT4G blows up on me.
you will never find it for $250. Even a used mint one on craigslist is a bit below $400. Unless you can find a really stupid seller
Trust me, there's a lot of stupid sellers out there.
How far from your upgrade date are you? I just upgraded for $199+tax, no upgrade fee, no rebate necessary and free shipping. My full upgrade wasn't for another 6 months. The price that I was offered on t-mobile.com was $329-$50 rebate + tax and upgrade fee. Total upfront cost would have been about $375. I called retentions and they hooked me up. Total upfront cost ended up being $235. I'm still going to send off for the rebate and I'll probably get it too.

Actually, I bought my phone off contract.
If you're looking to get it off contact, to get one for the price you're looking to pay you'll probably have to wait for a while for resale prices to come down or accept one with some damage.

The only thing I can think of is get one for $350, then flip it for $450, then get another for $350 and there you go.

Lol that means you would have to find two sellers that would sell their sensations for 350 AND then sell your sensation for 450. Thatspretty hard

The pricing as other threads have probably shown, prove that sam's club has a silly pricing point for their wireless devices. They had the phone for $144.00 and right across the street at a tmobile retail store I would have had to buy it for $294.00. So, if you have the ability to pick it up at sammy's or costco!

Oh yeah. Def. with the upgrade or new line. But its still cheaper by far!
Radioshack has it for the same price.
What about if you don't have an upgrade? T-Mobile wants me to pay $499 because I upgraded 8 months ago for the Nexus S.

Without a contract extension, which you aren't eligible for, good luck finding anything below MSRP
I bought mine on ebay for 400 (380 + 20 for S&H). With Tmobile I would have had to pay around 549.99. Yeah right they were going to get that much from me. I also have my HTC G2 on ebay at the moment to help with the cost of the new phone. But this phone is definitely worth the upgrade, its so fast!
Ima just try to find one on Craigslist bc my chick is spoiled and gets what she wants yeah. I just got her sidekick 4g for her bday on 4th of July and now she wants this mytouch 4g slide bc she doesn't like Samsung and bc there's no camera flash kinda gay. She came from the old mytouch 3g slide so that's why I just figured she like the sidekick but yalls know women so yeah but let me know if u cone across ne brand new ones from cheap eBay Craigslist whatever

Costco (near me anyway) does not sell phones without a contract. They told me I couldn't even choose a T-Mobile Value plan - it's Classic or no sale.
Costco is in agreement with the carriers that it cannot undercut carriers with off contract price. Don't bother looking for that anywhere. Ever.
Craigslist, however, is another story altogether.
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.

I added everything in my first post:
early termination fee = 200
activation = 35
Service = 35 for 21 days. ((50/30) * 21)
total = 270 + tax...
Everything should come for less than 300.
Right on.

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.
LG G2x - 2.3.5 MIUI Love
Asus TF - Custom 3.2
