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?

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.

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.

Wow thats $100 off what I paid...
/me thinks
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.

Lol I would never pay more than $100 bucks for a phone especially now that newer and better phones are coming out so often. But that sucks though I must admit.
Well 1 penny at amazon. So def not worth returning just for a penny.lol

i paid 260 for mine. bought it from ebay...
it depends, but atleast i m not stuck with it for 2 years, or giving it back early and paying another 100 some for new device.
i will use it five six months and sell it for 240 i guess..
35$ at the shack . Happy so far .
is back at $79.99
its free(+tax) at costco, well at least in northern cali. plus if u break it in the first 90 days, they will still accept it as a full return
Just go to at&t,ask them to price match someone who has it cheaper. I bought a case,car charger,and got screen protectors free (buy 2 get 1 free). And they made the price of the phone free

Same price NO tax on AmazonWireless. Except, ironically, in Cali where I believe Amazon now charges tax.
How broken does it have to be for a Costco return...i.e. will they take a bricked phone? Will they also swap it out for a different model (Infuse?)
Nice find.

Walking into T-mo store, I was thinking the the Sensation is $199 with two year contract. Well it was $249 after mail in rebate. So I would have to pay $299 plus tax... Is that what they really are at every T-mo store? They were also telling me this deal where I pay $249 plus tax but I pay $10 a month for the phone for 20 months? That sounded ridiculous honestly.
That was just too much for me so I hit up my local costco and they have it for $129 after $50 mail in rebate.
They also give you a free bluetooth earpiece, leather case, and car charger on any new phone. Costco is the ****tt!!! BTW, their MT4Gs are 29.99. damn costco gots the hookup!!!
The $10 a month thing comes with a lower service plan cost.

There pricing is very similar to Costco. Is there a mail in rebate for that as well? If so, with no tax, Sams Club is offering one hell of deal as well!
I paid $179 + tax. $219.86 out the door. No activation fee and a $50 mail in rebate. I hate rebates but whatever, I'll take it. They also give you free accessories. bluetooth, car charger, and leather case. In the end, I've learned to never walk to into a T-mo store ever again. $299 - $50 rebate... JEEEZZZ

thats target online and you have to wait, costco they give you back your activation fee on your first bill. also you have a 90 return policy at costco... sams sucks, target sucks. if you want to buy a cell phone go to costco first. and the mytouch in my area is actually free
Sadly no mail in rebate. But still a heck of a deal.

Would you need a new 2 year contract with this deal they offer at costco or sams or can you get this deal if you already in a two year contract?? For the MT4G
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA Premium App
One benefit of costco is that you can return your phone within 90 days and get a full refund or use it as a credit for another phone.
I am holding on to the sensation until the galaxy S II comes out. If I dont like the galaxy SII i can always go back to the sensation.
Oh how the times have changed.
I paid 149.99 for mine at Virgin Mobile Canada, no contract, phone on tab.
costco has a different phone on special each week. last week here the costco had the mytouch for free the galaxy 4g for 30. if you just wait to see when the phone goes on special you get a hell of a deal and if you get it then next week your phone goes lower you can ask for the price difference back with in the first 30 days. the Only down fall is they have different pricing for new contracts and upgrades.
I wasn't fully upgrade eligible, so my only reasonable choice was to go through T-Mobile. My.tmobile.com and the T-Mobile retail location bother wanted $329 before rebate + tax + upgrade fee. It would have cost like $375 up front and I'd get $50 back in the mail. I called customer loyalty and they gave it to me for $199 + tax, no rebate necessary and waived the upgrade fee and shipping cost. Total I paid $136 up front and the other $100 split over my next 3 months bills. In all I saved about $150 by calling. I didn't have to complain or threaten to cancel or anything like that.

My sister and brother inlaw both got theirs at target for $99 actually my brother inlaw traded his rooted hd2 in got a 105 back for it so he pretty much walked out with a free sensation.. in total they paid about 100 something for both phones.. I was shocked.. no rebates no nothing just a family 2 year contract
thanks for the heads up on target,, confirmed im picking one up tomorro in the store for 99....no extra fees just the "upgrade" fee (which i will try to get tmo to waive bc its ridiculous)... they also have a trade in option... I have an old blackberry 8900 curve they are going to give me $40 for.. In all, I will walk out with a new sensation for $60 !!!! crazy deal
by the way, the deal is only thru the 30th
Bought mine from Costco too for all the same reasons mentioned in this post....great price ($249 + $30 tax = $279 - $50 mail-in rebate for a grand total of $229), free accessories and 90 day return policy. Sweet! Right? Well, I went to Walmart a few weeks later and saw the phone advertised for $149 w/ the same 2-year contract renewal...and NO mail-in rebate needed to get this price. Seeing how I don't use the free bluetooth or leather case that Costco packaged w/ the phone, I would have much preferred to walk out of Walmart w/ the phone for $80 less. (boo-hoo) Oh well, you live and learn to shop around 1st.

$249+ 30 tax is a bit high for Costco... You must have bought yours right when it came out?
I hope I'm not off topic here but, I purchased mine through Walmart.com (aka let's talk) for $139, no activation fees and no shipping fees.
The AT&T One X now shows up for pre-order at AmazonWireless's page at $149!

Damn! I jumped the gun early today and pre-ordered through Radio Shack.
Anyone know if Amazon Wireless taxes cells phones shipped to California? I know they don't tax anything else.
Has anyone tried to get a price match in one of the at&t stores for the $149 instead of $199. Also I am a premier member will they charge activation fee if ordered through amazon.

I would assume it says backordered because they dont actually have them in stock as of yet
So, what's the deal with keeping your existing your unlimited data plan? When I try to purchase through AmazonWireless, it asks me to pick a new data plan as well as a new texting plan (niether of which is the one that I'm on now)? Anybody know? (I think I saw something about it in another thread, but I can't find it now).
Thanks,

I want to preorder thru amazon, but the only problem is lets say your phone has the yellow screen you would have to mail it back off to amazon to get a replacement thus making the preorder worthless, but the with the data dilemma you may to call them about it
Best buy so far is the only place not advertising it. I have an employee holding a white one for me and showing her the radio shack ad she reduced it down to 149 for me

Sometimes Amazon is amazing . There is a possibility that the phone may arrive before the expected delivery date, AND
in CA the state tax on retail (~9% on $579) is a deal killer for me.
Have waited this long , might as well wait 3 more days to save on the tax
