i have not had a phone sense friday bro.. i know what your going through...
i got the 4G in the mail and had to send them it back before they would place the G2x order....
try going to tmobile store and see if they have a loaner phone for you to use till you get the G2x... (im sure your contract started when you bought the phone so if there billing you and your not using it then ***** youll get something done if not a decent credit)
I bought two phones from Wirefly and was told that it would ship out on the 20th. It was no surprise for me and I planned accordingly by ordering 2 day shipping for $8. It will hopefully be here on Friday.
I am getting each phone for $150 vs $250 up front = saving $200 up front
I also got free activation fees and free shipping= $35x2= $75 up front
I think saving $275 and waiting 2 extra days is worth it to me. It will be in my hands soon enough.
That sucks if you were never told this though. I thought I even saw it on the website.....
yeah. the rep i spoke with friday told me they'd ship it monday
I ordered from tmo. Got the tracking number but it has yet to be updated since "billing info received". =( I should have got at least one update by now. Ordered the first day is was available too.

DO NOT GO BY WHAT T-MOBILE.com SAYS! (there website sucks at current info)
i ordered mine also first day (4/15) and i didnt get a txt till staurday saying it will be delivered 4/20... then 10 mins later a txt saying it will be delivered 4/19 WITH a tracking number... it still says on the ups site that it isnt shipped yet...
i called a rep and she said she cant see anything till the 20th because it doesnt show inventory till its actually released (4/20) but i assume it will be here by the 19th and she assured me it would also....
t-mobile does not know whats going on... (people are getting txts saying it on back order)
and they cant tell you if it will be on back order till the 20th...
so to sum it all up...
if you got a tracking number (friday/saturday its estimated to be at your house the 19th... if you got a tracking number today... expect it to arrive the 20th)
hope it helps but that is all the info i could pull outta her...

I NEVER use their site to order, or to do anything. I always call 611. I put my order in Friday night at 7, UPS picked it up Saturday at 6am, and it's now on the UPS truck on the way to my house. If you call T-mobile, they'll give you (or should) a tracking number. Don't be surprised if it shows up on your doorstep today.
I've had a tracking number since Friday morning. The phone just showed up in the UPS system at 10:00AM today. The arrival scan was in Louisville, KY, a UPS hub. It appears that to save a few bucks T-Mobile's bulk transporting orders to the UPS hub. So what Nate said is correct, the estimated delivery date in the UPS system is accurate even if it shows "billing info received" and Friday's orders should be delivered tomorrow for those that went for express. Based on comments on the T-Mo forum they really screwed up the ordering process for the G2X.

I ordered friday and they told me it was backordered on the phone. However I got a txt Saturday with tracking and estimated delivery on the 19th. Tracking number says they have not received package. If I am to get it tomorrow then they should have the package by now.
Wish I knew when I was really getting it. :-(
Since we are on the subject of 3rd party websites. Cellhub just shipped out my phone as of today. Estimated delivery date is on the 20th. Paid $515.00 off contract think it was a better deal than paying 499 + tax + shipping from TMo
Cancel your orders, this is cheaper alternative $49
Listen, just cancel that Wirefly transaction while you have time! After you check this out, YOU WILL!

Also to each his own, if this don't pertain to you or you ain't interested, just mosey on by like you driving Miss Daisy! This is for the people that actually like keeping money in their pocket instead of just giving it away!
Oh yeah, and if you order today, you will get on the 20th because Fed Ex is 2 day shipping this and free activation. I know I can't wait to break the tape on that infamous box Wednesday!

Exactly.....saving the money is well worth a couple to even a few days of wait. I saved $100 going through letstalk. (Probably should have checked Wirefly.)

So I checked their page and it turns out they send their employees to submit all these reviews about how great their service is as a way of advertising for the company. But if you browse other reviews outside of Cellhub's website, their company is actually rated pretty low by previous customers.
Anyways, I finally got my Bold 9780 from Costco yesterday, and I absolutely LOVE it.

I actually almost bought the phone through Cellhub, but after a closer look during checkout I realized that they only offer the phone for free if you purchase an $80+ plan, otherwise the phone changes to $149, which is more expensive than almost every other store is selling it for, including T-Mobile. I think this is somewhat of a false advertising from their store, and I really dislike false advertisers lol.
So if you plan on getting a basic plan I would go with another store, or even T-mobile itself. I think that would be more trustworthy than a faulty advertising internet store.
I thought the name was familiar... cellhub.com was spamvertized in our blogs just before Xmas. Members may want to consider suppliers who are not associated with spammers.

As I stated in my reply to these posts, to each his own. No matter where you buy the phone, you need to check the terms yourself. As far as people complaining about them, who doesn't complain about such and such company on here, for real the whole web if you wanna be technical.
I can honestly tell you I have had bad experiences with all three carriers. Their all crooks if you ask me, however if I want to use a cellphone or service, unfortunately I have to suck it up and go for what I know.
Research yourself and take the best deal. I don't care where you get the phone from online, I can guarantee there's some complaints about that company on the internet ( and I bet they have similar addendums on their contracts). I don't care if it's Amazon, Wirefly, TMI-Wireless, even Walmart.
Just google complaints for the company you ordered yours from, you'll see.
So, basically it comes down to doing your research and choosing the lesser of the evils.
Hope that helps.
Anyone know the numbers being dropped to stores? Plan on getting mine Wednesday at a retail location
A T-mobile store manager told me today, that each store would get between 10-20 units to sell.

Just in case anyone doesn't know, if you type in "25percent" in the promotion code section of the AT&T Fuze checkout you get 25% off. Saved me about $90. Didn't see it posted here on a cursory search so just thought some people would like to know.
sweet.. i'm just about to purchase a fuze right now for my brother.. will buy one for myself probably next week.
Also if you check out http://www.retailmenot.com/view/att.com its got a couple more.. its stated there that the EWC50 code which gives you $50 off can be used multiple times, so 3 times for a total of $150 off...
Amazon sells it for $175 with $25 rebate. Just placed an order and hope I can get it before the Thanksgiving holiday.

If you read the amazon reviews people are getting their confirmation email and its telling them that they will receive the device end of December...
I had initially placed my order for this phone through Amazon but then I was quoted a December 31st ship date! I thought there must be some mistake so I called their help desk and told them I had ordered the phone and even paid for one-day shipping and they told me it didn't matter because they weren't actually getting the phones at their warehouses until mid-late December! I wouldn't wait up, I guess.
I bought mine in an AT&T store for 370. Can I return it and get it cheaper some other way? And STILL have it on my plan?

That's incorrect, they are in stock at Amazon now (they originally were due to be in stock this Saturday, Nov,22nd, I guess they got them in a day early), I ordered mine this week and will have it early next week from them I can get the $25 rebate for sure, though Premier has a $50 rebate and I may try for that.
Edit-What reviews on Amazon did you read? There are only 2 reviews on there for the Fuze, and neither one even mentions email form Amazon-

oops, not reviews, but in this discussion. The original poster is given an estimate of dec. 31st and 2 others say their estimate is dec. 17th. But the latest post mentions that they are now back in stock and there is a little trick he did (change shipping method then return it to original shipping method) and it updated his estimated ship date to the 26th.
Ahh, okay. I remember when they first showed up on Amazon's site, the page said they'd ship in 4-6 weeks, then this past weekend that changed to Nov.22nd. Now they are showing them as in stock, so I am guessing they got them in a day early.
Edit-From their site tonight-
HTC FUZE Smartphone, Black (AT&T)
Buy new: $499.99 $174.99 (when purchased with new service plan)
Rebates: $25.00
Price After Rebates: $149.99
In Stock
Eligible for FREE Super Saver Shipping.
I ordered mine with 1 day shipping, if they're in stock it should ship out today and be here Monday, though the date is still showing the 26th (I originally had 2 day shipping selected). Those are estimates, so I'm sure they update them as they go.
ahh ok, yeah i noticed that about 2 days ago when i was researching options to buy the phone.. but just realized right now that amazon is out for me because:
4. You are not attempting to upgrade a family plan. Amazon.com cannot provide extensions on family plans.

oh well.. i guess i just have to get it from at&t, which isn't a problem its just that my premier discount isn't showing up when i try to upgrade device online.
Yeah, that's the one thing Amazon doesn't do is Family Share Upgrades. It's kinda odd, because you can do them at letstalk and wirefly.
When I looked at upgrading to the Fuze online from AT&T, they showed no discount either, just the $50 mail-in rebate. I checked a little deeper and apparently my Premier isn't doing any discounts for it, or at least I can't find any.
Edit-Letstalk has them for $249 with upgrades (free after rebates on new lines only), and Wirefly has them for $224 after rebates for contract extensions.
I also placed an order with amazon on the 17th and the estimated shipping is also on Nov 26th.

Did you get 2 day shipping?
Edit-Since it's now showing the Fuze as in stock, I'd think our orders would ship out today, and that would move the arrival date up a day. Check again on your order, Nov.26th would be the arrival date.
I find that none of these codes work on an extension with a family plan. I did however try and mess around and got the EWC50 code work multiple times to get the phone for free if opening a new line. Don't think it would work though because they would probably catch it.

in the [Q] How much did you pay for your Fuze? i remember someone stating that they got it for $199.99 by upgrading on att premier site. Also another person suggests calling in before placing the order and making sure all your premier discounts are there and some even got the $18 upgrade fee waived.
Right now not even the $50 MIR is showing up for me, and my $100 upgrade advantage discount, which was there a week ago when i considering the bold, is missing as well. Like i said in the other thread, i'm just gonna hold out till black friday, and if i can't get a good deal then, i'll just call up att and ask why my premier discounts aren't showing up. I just hope they'll still be in stock!
It's the same on my Premier too, the rebate is missing now, though it seems to come and go, it's probably an error somewhere. Oh, I have an update on my Fuze order at Amazon-
"Shipment #1: Shipping Soon We are preparing these items for shipment and this portion of your order cannot be canceled or changed "
WooHoo!
Yes its finally available to us all, since 12 am it became available, tho its not showing on the upgrades phones list, but there is indeed an option that says "upgrade to samsung captivate" on att samsung captivate page, im going to call on the morning to check whats up with this....stay tune guys.
I'm seeing it on the upgrade list on the website when I go through the upgrade process. It's way down on the list. It says $500 for no contract and $200 with a 2-year extension.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
i ordered mine around 8 PM PST on my friends iphone ironically. cant wait until i get it on tuesday.
Woot!
Picked mine up this morning. I got to the ATT store about 10 minutes before they opened. Their were two people in front of me waiting already. The manager let us in 5 minutes early and by the official openiong time, 6-7 more people had arrived.
The sales guy said they received 10 units and they expected they would all be gone within the first hour of sales.
I didn't go for the $500 off contract so it cost me $199 - $50 (good customer and 1 yr past contract commitment), so $149 for this puppy.
Now to play....
Yep i also finally order it, it was a total of 160$ they charge me 10$ of tax >_>, but who cares its free overnight shipping woooot!!!, cant wait till tomorrow lol.

I guess YMMV - I was the only one in the AT&T store I went to the only actual AT&T Store in the area according to their website and it is located in a busy mall. A few people came and went, but nobody showed even the slightest interest in the phone. This is in Iowa City, IA (well - Coralville, technically).
Yes, I was there at exactly opening time. There were two other people waiting. Got mine first. So far its decent, not overwhelming though.

Just took home my Captivate for $275 from a corporate AT&T Wireless store. Only requirement to get EARLY activation pricing is that you haven't upgraded your line within 6 months. NO ONE said anything about this anywhere until today - have been in 4 different corp AT&T stores, and finally someone said "early upgrade = new activation + $75 = $275 for the Captivate." Deal is good UNTIL Saturday, 7/24, when the pricing goes back up to $350 (Samsung is offering $150 back-end rebate currently) + 75 for early activation.
Get it while you can! Better than AT&T's no-commitment price of $499 and even their phantom $350 pricing they said on Facebook and Twitter, but won't honor after some lucky folks got them early last week!!! Been struggling with this mess for 2 days now, just trying to get it and finally found out about this, so make sure you all aren't buying them at no-commitment pricing, that's just outrageous....
This is the first I've heard that the $200 2yr contract renewal price is temporary. I'm eligible for an updgrade next week! grr...
Where'd you see that mentioned?

I was surprised to see 10 people lined up Sunday morning to get this phone when the store opened.

Has anyone confirmed this?
Just got off the phone with a CSR, he didn't know anything about this being a short term deal. He spent about 5 minutes looking it up, so I hope he wasn't just saying that to get me off of the phone.
Oh, and how long have they been ending their calls by saying "Thanks for being the best part of AT&T" or something like that? That's ridiculously cheesy.

I just walked into an AT&T store and was able to use the early upgrade and get the phone for the 199+75 +18 (296 with everything totaled up). You have to not have had a upgrade within the last 6 months. That's it... and be in good standing ofcourse.
I got my Captivate on Sunday for $275. I did an early upgrade this past December for a BB 9700, so I was eligible for the early upgrade (I didn't know I was at the time). I was hoping to purchase for the "$350" non-contract price last week, but the rep @ the store last Thursday said I would qualify for the early upgrade, but they weren't going to sell it to me until the 18th. $275 was cheaper than $350 just to add 7 month to my contract, so I had planned to go that way. Luckily I was since the phone went to $499. So yes, it is true.
Contract
Do you go under another 2 year contract for this price?
AT&T Customer Service can push your upgrade date forward 30 Days, easy. Just give the customer service line a call and talk to a representative.

I'm trying to get my upgrade pushed forward 3 months (it will be a year since I got my Tilt 2 in October), so far I've had one CSR tell me to just walk into a store and use the upgrade off of one of my family plan's other lines, the other told me she could only make it that much earlier if I increased my plan, but that isn't going to happen lol.

I also got my Tilt 2 at the same time. Your best bet is to call CSR...just call back again and hope to get a different person if they tell you no the first time. It's a matter of getting the right person. The guy I talked to this early morning told me that it's best to call after midnight since you get the seasoned employees but you have to be premiere...if you call during the day most likely youll get a trainee

I stand corrected. I called back and specifically mentioned overriding the upgrade date, and the CSR said that I could do that. However, they would only do it if they could ship it to me, not so I could buy it in the store, and if they had any in stock.
They don't.
She put me on hold saying that she's trying to arrange something with the store closest to me... So, maybe this will work...

Weird, the first girl I got was all ready to set it to today until she read the 10 month part and told me she couldn't, she didn't seem to care where I used the upgrade at. Makes me wonder if the CSR wants the sale.

Possibly, she supposedly couldn't get in touch with the local store and asked if they could call back in 2 days when they might have stock to ship to me. Maybe I should call again.
Nah, I'm tired of messing with this today. Thanks for letting me know about moving the upgrade date.
No, problem ingrown.
Sorry for sorta hijacking the thread though. I'm thinking I may try to get this with the early upgrade fee myself.
Has anyone confirmed the price going up to $350 for an upgrade after 7/24?
Just so everyone knows, the loyalty advantage applies to this phone. I got an additional 100 off because I hadn't upgraded in 24 months (iPhone) and my bill is
greater than 100
No upgrade fee either
Nifty phone for 100!

I've made a few calls to some Metro Detroit T-Mobile Stores and all of them told me June 15th. Has anyone got confirmation from their local T-Mobile store will have it on-sale any soon?
Also, any info on how to find the Select Walmarts on June 12th? Wonder if that means 12:01am you can get it at a 24hrs store.
I will be getting one of these bad boys as soon as I possibly can

UPDATE 6/8/2011: It appears that Walmart stores that have inventory are selling them for $600 off contract and $148.88 for 2-Year contract.
UPDATE 6/12/2011: Here is a PDF print out of the Walmart Ad showing the price at $148.88 for those that want to try and price match incase their local Walmart is out of stock due to this post on XDA
this the kind of thread people lash at you lol. You called ths stores like I did and they said the 15th.... xda isnt gonna be able to tell you different.. i would just look @ tmobile news via droiddog dot come and call your local stores friday saturday and sunday and the days prior to the 15th... good luck.. i want it bad too!
I went to my local T-Mobile store and they also would only disclose June 15th as the go-live date for the Sensation @ T-Mobile Stores.
However, he showed me their Sensation display phone and said that they were receiving boxes (6/5) that were shrink wrapped and labeled do not open till 6/8. He couldn't confirm but he thinks its marketing/advertising stuff and that's when they need to start putting up the marketing and display material up in their store.
In checking out the demo phone (not working) and actually holding it in my hand, the feel and look of the phone are pretty sweet!

Well...let me set my track record here first...
I was able to get my TouchPro2 2 days early by heading to some select BestBuy stores that had inventory on hand and was willing to sell it. It was a thread just like this that made it possible.
I was also able to get my HD2 2 or 3 days early by calling several local T-Mobile stores. The store I went to said...if the phone is in the system and I have the unit in hand they will sell it. And they did.
So...this is a usefull thread if indeed the phones get sold prior to June 15th. The sooner I get a phone, the sooner I will be able to release a tested ROM or Add-ON.

Out of the 8 local stores I called, one confirmed that they would have them tomorrow June 8. So I'll be there first thing tomorrow and picking one up. Hopefully they stick to their word..
EDIT: Well damn it, I called again to double check and wouldn't you know it, they changed the date to 15th.. Two locations initially said 8th now the 15th.. FFUUU

Hey Chris, where are you located?
Hey guys, when letting us know of your calls and confirmations and whatnot... can you please list your location so it would help fellow XDAers outs?
I just called a local store in a high-end location and was told "it's either coming out on June 8th or June 15th".

That is some BS...If it was coming out on the 8th they would know today since they would need to be ready for it tomorrow morning. Morons!
I'm a T-Mobile USA employee. In a meeting it was originally announced for June 8th but recently that was changed to June 15. Reason is unknown. Speculation is a few last minute bug fixes.
The employee I spoke with had to ask one of his colleagues. At this point, I have just about resigned myself to waiting another week. I just sold my MT4G, so it's back to my trusty old G1 for a week.

I guess its off to Walmart then
Two tmobile locations in NJ told me the 8th, however, that was last Wednesday.
Will Walmart allow me to buy it off contract? Or are they strictly contracts and shenanigans?
I chatted with a T-Mobile rep yesterday. They said if I buy thru Walmart it will be thru Walmart Mobile. I don't understand this. They pretty much said I can't upgrade my current contract to get the HTC Sensation. I will have to wait till the 15th and get it thru T-Mobile. They also said they had the launch on the 15th of July in there system.

Last time I looked at Walmarts off contract price on a phone, it was more expensive then buying it at the T-mobile store. YMMV

Great. My G2X sells in one hour on ebay.
Looks like I may be rocking a white Samsung f'n Gravity until the 15th.
I'm good with this idea for a thread. Almost started it myself earlier today.
I've rooted and ROM'd phones for two employees at my city's largest T-Mobile store. One being a manager. They are always cool with me and will hold their first Sensation for me. We text each other with news so they said if they get them in for tomorrow's possible first day they would let me know. No word yet on receiving stock for tomorrow.
I live in Greensboro, NC. Not the biggest market so maybe they aren't on the premium stores list. If he texts me... this is the first place I'm posting.

Did you Pre-Order the Galaxy S4 from Best Buy as per this link? Pre-Order in store like I did at 3:27PM on April 16th? Let's post the updates here as to when you pre-ordered and when you receive the device, hoping I get an email from BBY in the next few days since the AT&T stores are shipping out theirs to customers today!
Also, any discussion on pricing, discounts, price matching, Phone Freedom should go here as well.... I paid the $50 to pre-order, have the $50 off attached to my account for Phone Freedom, and will hopefully get some money off with price matching, despite the new wording that says they don't price match contract phones! They told me in store while pre-ordering that they would price match Amazon, Walmart, etc (full list on this page) when I came to pick up the phone, so post your feedback with that as well
S4 coming soon everyone!
I preordered mine through BBY. No news yet.

I pre-ordered in BBY yesterday. They told me they weren't sure when they would receive the devices, but that usually it's the same day as the in-store release. They also told me that pre-orders take priority over other customers BUT that the people who pre-ordered first would take priority over those who pre-ordered later. Basically if the store receives 10 phones, and you were number 11 to pre-order at that store, then you would have to wait until they received another batch of phones. They were unable to tell me how many phones they would be receiving. According to the BBY Mobile manager i spoke with, they usually receive the phones the same day as the carrier stores. So here's hoping for Friday/Saturday I get a call/email from my local BBY!
I was gonna pre-order from ATT, but when I spoke with a rep, they told me all orders after the 22nd would not ship until the 30th, all other orders are shipping today.
I just got back from visiting two BBY stores in my area, the one I had a pre-order at and a larger store that has a much larger inventory, in order to find out if they even received any in, and here's what I took away from the things both stores told me.... the STREET DATE for this phone is the 27th, Saturday, and even if they receive them in before then, they will not sell them early - if an employee is caught doing it, they will get fired, no questions asked.
When the HTC One released on that Friday, they received their inventory in on Wednesday, and emails went out on Wednesday telling people they could come pick up their pre-orders on Friday - the same should happen here, they should receive the pre-ordered S4's sometime before Saturday, and an email will go out, like bvic01 said, first come, first served, to those who pre-ordered.
I was first out of only two people who have pre-ordered at my local store, so they're all but guaranteeing that I'll get mine on Saturday, fingers crossed.....
I think I was only one of a handful that preordered in my store so I hope to get it on Sat.

When I pre-ordered mine, the manager told me that the day before the pre-order count for that store was 13. Im kinda nervous I wont get it the day it comes out. Worst case scenario, if I dont get an email/call by tomorrow, I may just try to get one from an ATT store and use the BBY $50 gift card for a case/screen protector or other accessories. I can always find an excuse to spend money at BBY

Exactly, don't know why people were hesitant to pre-order! Yeah, 13 is kinda high, don't want to crush your hopes or nothing, but if there isn't a large amount of phones getting shipped for launch date, sending more than 13 to one store is pushing it.... I HAD to order from BBY because I'm not going to say no to "free money" with the Phone Freedom $50 off deal, that's just crazy unless someone else had it for $50 off at the same time!

OK, so now im a little pissed. I just found out that even pre-orders on the 23rd have been shipped out overnight by ATT and are being received today. I called ATT on the 23rd and was told if I preordered through them it wouldnt ship until the 30th, even though the other pre-orders were already shuipping. They said everything the 22nd and back would ship this week. Well looks like they lied, everyone is getting theirs and Im stuck waiting on my BBY pre-order.

Technically, they shipped out on Tuesday, they did not offer overnight shipping unless you upgraded to it, but rather free 2 day shipping.... but yeah, AT&T moved up their ship date to the 23rd even though their launch date is tomorrow with the retail store sales beginning on Saturday - don't know what the difference really is, but Saturday you should be able to get one in store or at BBY if you pre-ordered!

Actually, go read through the last few pages of the ATT pre-order thread. Orders on the 23rd were upgraded to overnight without charge and without request by customer. There's reports of people checking their tracking to find it on the truck for delivery today. So the difference is, if I had pre-ordered through ATT like I originally planned, I would be getting it today. Oh well, I like BBY's device protection plan alot more than ATT's due to the no deductable. I actually carry both, ATT's in event of theft or loss, and BBY's in case I break the damn thing. lol

i concur with you on the best buy protection plan. you pay $5.99/mon for it. if you do anything to your phone, you take it back to them and they ship you a new or refurbished one that day (as long as the claim was put in before 1pm). i have used this service twice and both times i got my replacement phone 2 days later. seems to me to be the best protection plan for phones.

Yeah, it's just another few days, I'm not too worried! That's interesting about the two protection plans, how much does the total of them come out to be? I decided when I bought the SIII not to put any protection on it, SquareTrade has just gotten out of control with their prices, and I'm SO careful with my phones and tablets, it's ridiculous - to date, I have never used a case or screen protector on my SIII after buying it at launch last year, and it still looks brand new!

I'm upgrading on contract, and also talked to the girls at BBY about this whole "end of showrooming / price match" thing I posted links for already, and they said that without a doubt, it does NOT apply to contract phones, so they will not honor the price match at Walmart (which, don't know if you saw, is over - Walmart changed the price back to $198 already)
I asked them what the price matching applies to, and they said "cases, accessories, stuff like that," yeah, like I'm going to go into a store and say "hey, I found this $2 cheaper on Amazon, price match it for me!" They said that so many people asking BBY to PM online retailers when they would never order a phone online, and it didn't make sense to give away money even though people wouldn't find another way to buy their phones - like myself, that's the main reason I buy in store is because I buy so many things online, but I won't have a phone shipped to me, I just don't like the idea all the way around....

Thanks, no I hadn't seen the Walmart change. Not really a big deal tho. I did the buyback thing with BB when I got my S3 last year. I don't know if that's the greatest deal or not but I'm thinking I'll just add another line then get the S4 at upgrade price. Sell them back my S3 and then next year upgrade the S3 line to an S5. Or maybe I'll just keep the S3 for backup.

If the staff won't waste their time with the buy back program, I don't think anyone else should either! I asked them about that too, as in "who in their right mind would give up their SIII for so little?" I was going through eBay to get my phone ready to sell my SIII once I've got a fully functional (read: rooted) S4, and it said this, no joke:
At this point in time, the lowest Buy It Now price from an eBay Top-rated seller for an item like yours in Used condition is $425.00.
