So I took my sensation back on Sunday... it had a few bugs in it and also wasn't convincedi was getting the best deal with vodafone.... though the signal was much better than my desire on tmob.... I'll probably sick with voda
Anyway... the question its where its everyone getting the phone from? Phones4u was offering me a good deal but was slightly put off when they said the warranty with then was only a year where as vodafone will cover it for the whole contract.
The online deals are good but if anything goes wrong then you need to post it away and warrior for ages for them to sort it.
Just wondering what's everyone's preference?

I could get a 20% discount through my work so I was sorted. I got a £40 a month 18 month contract bumped down to £32 using the discount. Winner!
...there's something I don't like about 2 year contracts. Just seems far too long to be with one handset.
Agreed... I miss the times of 1 year contracts.... its the reason I'm not canceling my tmob though.... since I didn't get an upgrade at the time they've reduced my tariff to 8 pound a month... at anytime I can get an upgrade though... so I'll leave that rolling... get a sensation on another tariff then after 12 months... reduce the sensation one and get a different one with tmob

Take advantage of your system there must be a loophole somewhere. In US phone cost 550 full retail no contracts. Alot of peoples sign up a new 2 yrs contract 199 after 15 days they cancel their contract cost 200 early termination fees. Comes out to 400 add tax ill give it 450 max

Went to Radio Shack today to buy an Inspire case. The guy asked me what I paid for the phone - $99.99 of course. He said they had it for $49.99 through today.
I had seen that earlier in the week but assumed it was a misprint. It wasn't!
So I headed over to Bestbuy where I bought mine two weeks ago, armed with a RS ad & my rewards card and got 50 bucks refunded. No questions asked.
And to think a guy at Radio Shack told me go do it.
Don't know if it's nationwide, but maybe this will help someone.
Wow...I got my Inspire from bestbuy as well. So I can get an ad from radio shack and take it to bestbuy and they'll refund me $50?
I got mine at radio shack like 2 weeks ago for 99.99 and i just brought my receipt back and got my 50 dollars back from them dropping the price, i love price guarantees
You guys are talking about 49.99 with an upgrade right? Because I'm going to be buying an inspire for 300 bucks (1 year discount at AT&T store, factored from renewal price + 200 dollars) and was wondering if maybe radio shack could get me a phone for 249 instead of the 300 with the deal.
Any idea with radio shack does 1 year discounts? And also is the 49 dollars only today, because if so just disregard this post :3
will this only work today? cuz i dont have time to go today and are the ads online or do u actually have to go to one?
Does anyone know if ATT would do a refund if I brought the ad in?
I do not think ATT will match rs price

Are you allowed to say what exactly the deal is?
Starting Sunday bring in your old phone and trade it in to get the Inspire for fifty bucks at RadioShack. Any phone that works will get you the fifty dollar trade in credit towards the phone.

Staples has been selling the Inspire for $49.99 w/new contract or upgrade.
I got mine from radio shack 3 days ago for $49.99 as an upgrade straight. I know about the trade in phone, that deal was two weeks ago, $99.99 but if you bring a working phone its $50.00 instant off. I liked last weeks deal $49.99 new 2 yr contract or upgrade, total $53.53 and it took 15 mins, opposed to ATT $99.99 for an hour of BS. Thanks RS!
I got mine at Amazon for 69.99+ no tax - $35 refund for late 4G sim card delivery
For the phone trade-in, is their a specification on which phone? Or could I buy one of the $20 go phones and then trade that in?
Yes thats what i did for one, bought 15$ throwaway and traded it in. The recycle is good on any phone i believe. Gotta call bull**** on a couple of these posts, everyone wants to claim the best deal. How it werked for me was 99 dollar phone - 50 credit PLUS tax on radio shacks price for the phone... (almost $50.00) then att matches the 50.00 rebate.....
Mine came out to.67.00$.... maybe this bull**** tax.thing.is only in cali?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
I would have to say that it is only in Cali because I just sold one from my RadioShack and it came to 54 and change after tax and trade in.

Nothing makes me feel more warm and fuzzy than 2.4GB of free data, split up over 12 mos, in order to contractually obligate my business to them for the next 2 years!
LOL I jest, I'm pleased with tmo ATM, so I'm not *****ing. But it is pretty damn lame compared to other promotions they have had, especially Father's Day last year.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
Yes it seems kinda lame, do the math though and it's not so bad.
250 upfront for the phone
50 mail in rebate and a 120 bill credit=80 for the phone.
Better that the wallmart deal, it just takes some time for it to pay off.

I don't understand.
What if you have a $30 / month data plan.
Wouldn't that be a savings of $360?

Ah, I see the grayed out text at the bottom now, barely readable so as to hide it from customers.
The graphic in the picture says one year of free data without any asterisk at all, not one year of free $10 data.
Isn't that illegal false advertising? Jerks. I hate when companies do that.
& to think I almost waited for the Sat sale. Need to look closer @ details & see if we can access this for our grandfathered plans, I'm not giving that up. Wish I'd picked up those free phones for my kids in Feb, arghhhhh!
The word from my market manager is that there will not be any more free phone sales (like last year's father's day sale) because of high fraud / cancellation rates.
This market manager is not a very reliable source ( calling her an idiot is an insult to idiots everywhere ) but this makes sense now that we know what the sale is.

FYI, if you are adding a new line or are a new customer, tmo currently has the MT4G and SGS 4G for free if you do it online. One of the phones ends today, but the other one doesn't expire until Thursday. Won't work for upgrades, buy if you are adding a line for your kid, this is the way to go. Pull the trigger quick though.

Great Customer Service!
I went to a local store here in Fremont to get my first look at the Sensation and asked about the Father's Day special. A salesperson named Candice answered my questions and handed me a Sensation to play with. I asked for her business card and told her I would be back on Sunday, thinking that was the day of the promotion. I then went to find my wife and daughter at the Michael's craft store next door. About 15 minutes later, I run into Candice while shopping inside Michael's! She realized that I was mistaken about the day of the sale and actually ran next door to find me and tell me it was on Saturday!
I know that she probably gets a commission on phones that she sells, but I still think it was very kind of her to find me and tell me the correct date. Imagine if I had shown up on Sunday and was told that the promotion was the day before!
So to thank her for her kindness I am telling her story here on the forum in the hopes that some of you will buy a Sensation from her. Let's see if we can help her get the "Employee of the Month" award! I don't know if my credit will qualify for a two-year contract, but I intend to find out on Saturday! Wish me luck!
If any of you live in the Fremont, CA area and are planning on buying a Sensation, please go to the T-Mobile store at the corner of Mowry Ave & Fremont Blvd (store address 39172 Argonaut Way) and ask for Candice.
A little extra for you folks I found today over at fatwallet. After you get your phone head over to this link and follow the instructions to get a 125$ visa card if you are a NEW T-mo customer.
http://www.fatwallet.com/forums/hot-deals/1099398/
So 250-50 mir-50 sensation promo-120 fathers day-125 for switching to Tmo= they are paying you 95 bucks to get this phone on Fathers Day. I'd say that's a bit better than a free phone.
Nice, dude! Good lookin out, thanks for sharing.

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.

What was the original price for the NS4G when it was first released? Trying to figure out how much I'll get back for it when I sell it to Best Buy
599 or 699. I know after 6 months u get like 350 back
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using xda premium
I bought my 4G from BestBuy on release day flat out for $699.99.
Why didn't you have them price match the Sprint retail price? Which is considerably lower. Just saying if you are paying "retail" then you have a case more than disputing a contract price.

$199 with contract.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G
I'm not disputing anything, don't they give you whatever percentage of the retail value back to you with their buy-back program?
Yes. Its 50% within the first 6 months. Here is a link.
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Misc/Buy-Back-Program/pcmcat230000050010.c?id=pcmcat230000050010
I wasn't saying anyone was disputing anything. What I meant was, if you were buying it retail you should have told them that Sprint sells it for $549.00. Would have saved you $150.00 on the release day.
Edit: Also in terms and conditions it says that the buyback program does not start til 30 days after the purchase. So in all actuallity you have til the 7th month of purchase to sell it back.

Wow, I sold my sensation on ebay "buy it now" for $240 to offset the cost of the One S. I don't think it's going to happen, but I think you might see some prices drop from where they are now currently as soon as T mobile releases the galaxy s3. Good Luck!
I'll consider selling mine if your interested,
Ive not long on my contract so if i can get my ETF down to cheap, you can have it for the price i need to pay it
