Let see what this beings us that arent too happy with the captivate....
http://www.bgr.com/2011/01/21/att-to-launch-cell-phone-trade-in-program-on-january-23rd/
Not likely that AT$T trade-in values will be at or even near what eBay or Craig's List can fetch on a decent device.
Why does this make me think this is aimed at us upset Android Owners who want our devices updated?

Because you're too naive? You probably get $5 trade-in value at most out of your Captivate.
Didn't At&t modify its upgrade policy recently? I coulda swore it was gonna raise increase the time it took to upgrade and raise prices...
Does anyone know anything about that?

Someone on another forum was saying that stores like Radio Shack already offer pretty decent trade in prices. If AT&T doesn't we could as easily go there.
..Radio Shack trade in for a captivate in perfect condition =$93

And I just got $500 for my iPhone 4 16 Gig cash from craigslist. Locked, unjailbroken. Within 24 hours. I bought my Captivate for $350 used and plan to sell it for more than $300 when the time's right to jump ship to Verizon.
If I read this correctly...you're saying that this Captivate is worth $93 if you want to sell it to radio shack? I know it's worth around $350-400 used.

More like $250-325, maybe $350.
I would be happy with 150 and a new htc 4g
I bought m mine on ebay about a month ago for $200 could probably get about $250 - $275 tops for a"like new" now

I'm more inclined to call it Capitalism. People are obviously willing to pay it. (Not me, but some )
I've already made all the money back on the Captivate, and then some. And then some more.
So I was planning on selling it, but I think I'll keep it.
I've seen bestbuy/tigerdirect offer similar programs, problem was that there is a monthly fee hahahah
Wow you guys are paying too much! I paid $200 for my gf's Captivate on CL and it's in great shape. It came in the original box with the manuals and everything. I pulled it out and noticed immediately that dude had wiped it down before reboxing it so there was not a fingerprint on it. He even had a microfiber with him so I could clean it again after I played with it.
Older, 1007, but still in great shape. I also have a line on a one-month old iPhone4 for $350. I paid $200 for my MT3G, used it for 9 months, rooted it and learned a lot, then sold it for $200.
I think I'm gonna pick up the iPhone4 just because it's a good deal and I can.
We are stuck in the middle of the big boys playing politics!

I'm totally on this one. I love my Nexus One, but I'm craving something with a little more power. A 2nd gen Snapdragon should be fine for me for around 2 years, especially since I'm using the money I make flipping my Nexus One to put towards a new tablet (hopefully a dual core HTC Honeycomb tablet). I'll still tinker with my phone a lot, but I want a tablet to be my next droolworthy device.
So yeah, I'll be at my local AT&T store when they open on the 13th to get mine. Can't wait to see CM7 and ADW EX running on that sexy hardware.
Moved to general as not android development
I'm definitely getting one!
I always had HTC phones and I loved them all. Made the switch to a Blackberry last year because of work now I can't wait to put the Blackberry in storage for the Inspire
By the way, I read that the non-commitment price would be $499. Is that confirmed?
Just wish it had a Front Facing camera That's the only thing that is making me want the Atrix/Infuse over the Inspire
I'm just gonna buy one retail, that's how I get most of my phones nowadays anyway. I'll save my contract renewal for something big. I'm fairly excited for this device
Just pre-ordered one.

radio shack is having a pre-order for the Inspire from now until the 9th. you have to buy a $50.00 gift card to secure your order, they are selling the phone for $99.00 with no mail-in rebate. you also get a $30.00 store credit for using to buy accessories for the phone. you have to buy the $25.00 data plan as well. I already have the $30.00 unlimited and I asked if I get to keep it and they said yes (we will see)
"I already have the $30.00 unlimited and I asked if I get to keep it and they said yes (we will see)" - I really hope we don't get screwed into this 200mb cap...
I'm getting one - 8 more days guys!
It all depends on weather the 30 dollar unlimited data plan was already on a smartphone if not they will move you to the 2gig 25 dollar data plan
XDA app on CM7
I plan on waking up at the ass-crack of dawn and heading to the local AT&T Corporate Store 15 or 20 minutes before they open to pick one up the 13th.
My upgrade isn't up until the 8th so I can't preporder yet, I don't think. Talk about nice timing for an upgrade though!
Those those talking about your unlimited data plan and if you're going to lose it...
No, you won't.
AT&T is trying to tell me that I, a current iPhone user, with unlimited data, will lose it when I move to the Inspire. Well, they're wrong.
AT&T FAQ said:
Q: I am using a Smartphone Data Unlimited Plan. Do I need to sign up for a DataPlus or DataPro plan instead? Can I switch Between these New Data Plans As Needed?
A: If you were on a Smartphone Data Unlimited plan prior to June 7th, 2010, and would prefer to keep it, no problem! Even if you choose to upgrade to a new Smartphone and/or extend your contract. You may choose to move from your unlimited plan to either a DataPlus or DataPro plan. However, once you have moved to a DataPlus or DataPro plan, your old unlimited plan will no longer be available.

Honestly I hate the whole 1230mAh size too.
And in regards to the FFC I don't really see the point of it other than the 3 second WOW factor when first buying.
If that is going to save us from spending an additional 50 - 100 dollars Id rather save that money for something else.
I've been snooping around and it seems as if in the U.K. there are Desire HD aftermarket batteries with 1500 mAh.
I don't see why they can't sell/make them available in the U.S.
For $99, and even less if you buy through RadioShack because of the FREE $30 gift card you can't go wrong.

This forum helped me a lot answering my question so now it's time for me to contribute a little to it.
I don't know about new activations, I'm just talking about my case which is an upgrade and I've been with T-mobile for 5 years already.
My contract has ended for a while so now it's time for an upgrade and I waited for this fone as the GS2 takes too long to come out. So I did a little research online and found out that I can match the price of this phone (currently $199 after mail in rebate on Tmobile website or store) with Wirefly's price at $149 using a promotion code "courtesy" when calling them.
First, don't talk to a regular representative, they have no power to reduce the price, ask to talk to Customer Loyalty, and insist on it if they refuse to transfer u to them. Then just tell them that a friend or other people can match the price with Wirefly. In my case, they even lowered the price to $103 after taxes and shipping, no rebate watsoever. I have a 3 lines family plan with them, I don't know if it helps, but for the price, it's great compared to other people that have to buy them at $149+tax. I'm pretty sure some of u got the fone for free, I don't know how u guys did it, please tell us how.
I got it free Cuz they. Screwed me over on data for 3 months... and they sent me two broken vibrants as refurbished ones..... I was in the process of canceling when the manager came on and offered two new phones I got this one and saving my next free one for sgs2 if it comes to T-Mobile. I have two lines and only been a customer for 11 months. Just gotta know how to talk to them

Wow, that's a great deal u've got. But ur case is very special cuz they screw u up. At least u got a really good deal on the phones. I guess because I'm not born here in the USA or else I'd get a better deal than that, lol
sorry to bump this but it sort of goes along with my question
on october 27 i'll be eligible for my 22 month upgrade, but can i upgrade earlier and still get the phone for $149? when i'm logged into mytmobile account it shows that the g2x is $149 after rebates but since i'm not exactly eligible to upgrade, would i still get the rebate?
basically i can't stand my current phone anymore and i don't think i can wait a month and a half haha
Go through the checkout and see. You probably will only get a partial discount. I suggest waiting it out to see what the nexus prime is all about...

If you were looking online a couple weeks ago, you would've gotten them free with a 2-year contract or add-on line.

i'm going to try it, i'm just not sure if upgrading early will affect my contract price in any way. and i just looked up the nexus prime a little bit and found this "It’s said that the Nexus Prime’s screen could be as big as 4.65-inches." that is way too big for me

Ouch... Good point. I like 4" and would settle for 4.3" but no higher.
As far as upgrading early, it will just start your new 2-year contract from the date that you actually upgrade, not an extension onto the end. At least that's how my partial upgrade was a few years back. If you have 2 or more lines and can stick it out a while longer, T-Mobile's new $99/mo unlimited for 2 lines is awesome if they're still running the promotion. Unlimited calls, texts, and 2GB data for each line (throttled after 2GB). But it requires that you're not under a contract when you sign the new plan or there are some pretty hefty migration fees. Just food for thought.
Got mine at CostCo as a 2year contract upgrade for $149, then they sent me a $50 gift card, so $99 out of my pocket. Later they had it for $79 out of pocket.
i'm about to order it soon... it will be $149 with mail in rebate so i'm happy with that my g1 was more than that when i bought it haha

Hi , At&t is offering me galaxy s2 for $230 as an early upgrade offer. my contracts ends in nov 2012, so if i take this upgrade offer, my contract would end in nov 2013, should i go ahead with this or wait for some new phones in june/july.
There will always be a better phone coming out in a few months. If you wait for summer, it will be the holiday season.
Samsung sold over 10 million GS IIs before selling a single one in the US.
Any flaw, what so ever insignificant, in the captivate is fixed in the GS II. It feels amazing in hand, super smooth and fast, plus there is already 7 different ROMs, and it hasn't been out a month yet.
You cannot go wrong with the GS II. Go into the store and play with it. After two weeks I have yet to find a flaw, or a way to make it lag, or hesitate.
My question for you is: how do I get att to let me renew a year early? (For next time)
Sent from my Galaxy S II (i777)
AT&T is letting me upgrade a year early also. Pretty sure it's not a full discount upgrade, or what, but my contract isn't up until 2012.
the original retail price is $199 and they are offering me for $230. I just called customer care and asked for an upgrade for s2 they gave the above option...this is with a 2 year contract....

Don't do it! You'll feel ripped when the SGS 3 comes out, Think about how long the SGS 2 has been out outside the USA..... Or you can can get the GS2 as it is one of the greatest phones out there right now and it flies like the wind.
*Get Chance and Luck*
My contract ends in January 2012, but I got a Galaxy S II off-contract.
The thing's AMAZING!! Super light, amazing screen, extremely fast, the best in every aspect.
The price is not, it's $599 off-contract. But do what I did, scout craigslist and find people who are selling it new in box at a good price, or sell your captivate, or trade.
The deal I scored was $360 + hacked Motorola Backflip, and I have a spanking new Galaxy S II.. Just don't deal in a bad neighborhood and always make sure it's the Galaxy S II (Say's it on the back)
Save your contract/upgrade for the Galaxy S III

You get a faster upgrade cycle (discounted upgrades every year) if your bill is over a certain amount per month, which I think is around $100

That stopped this year. They changed it, from 12 months to the normal 20. After upgrading in September, I next qualify 5/2013. That's why I was curious how he got them to budge at all. I have another line that qualifies in December (start date 4/2010, never renewed), and the phone broke, I tried in store and over the phone, they won't let me upgrade early without adding like $100 to the price of the phone, not the gentle $30 the OP got.

I was with att wireless, before they were Cingular, with a corporate sponsorship this whole time. In the past I have had 18 or 12 month cycles too. The att store told me they changed the policy a few months back so all future renewals are not eligible until 20 months. I'm ecstatic with my phone now, so it doesn't matter now, but if in a year I can upgrade for only an extra $30, I'll be all over that. Maybe by then the LTE phones will have battery life worked out, and my area will have LTE

I was talking to one of the managers at my local AT&T store and he was saying that he could upgrade me early and renew my 2 year contract, he said I would get the phone at the 2 year contract price, the only catch was I had to buy $200 worth of accessories to go with it. Of course he pointed out the the Jawbone Jambox is $200. I might use it for the Skyrocket that's coming out, I'm just having a hard time parting with my Cappy.

You may have already heard the news released today about the Samsung Galaxy S3 arriving in stores on June 20th (fingers crossed ) but I thought I would post it for others to see. T-Mobile also has included release dates for a few other phones like the Galaxy Note (way too big ) and the Mytouch line of devices. The fallowing information has been provided by TMOnews.
Samsung Galaxy S III 16GB Metallic Blue – June 20th
Samsung Galaxy S III 32GB Metallic Blue – June 20th
T-Mobile myTouch (Huawei Phoenix) – July 11th
T-Mobile myTouch (Huawei Buddy) – July 11th
Samsung Galaxy S III 16GB Ceramic White – July 11th
Samsung Galaxy Note – July 11th
* I got my eye on the Blue 32gb. SGS3....(Pebble Blue)
What are you all thinking?
July 11th for me, not wasting my time with the blue version. White is just too pretty.
Hope they release the radio for the note before the release of the t-mobile note. I just don't see myself rockin a smaller screen lol

Not sure about price...How much does a Note go for on other networks? Probably similar pricing? I bought my SGS2 for full price the day it came out and I kicked myself for doing so. I had the MT4G in one hand and the SGS2 in the other, what am I supposed to do? lol....I called T-Mobile this afternoon to check on my upgrade status. and what do ya know? This June I will be due for a full upgrade, just in time for the worlds greatest smartphone aka SGS3. Or until a better phone drops 2 weeks later....haha. My guess is no less than $600.00, and who knows about the difference in price from the 16gb to the 32gb? I cant imagine it being over a 100 dollar difference between the two, but what do I know. Our luck it will be like $850.00 or something ridiculous...
T-mobile is notorious for making you pay way too much for a phone even when you have a full upgrade available. Needless to say I'll be waiting to see reviews and developments before I jump onto any of these, even though the galaxy III is calling my name.

The last time I bought a phone, upgraded, and added a 2 year contract on my plan was when I got a Blackberry Curve 8900 right around when the phone came out for close to $300. I've been using a jailbroken/unlocked iPhone I bought from a friend up until I got my S2 about 6 months ago. I paid $400 dollars (With a $50 dollar rebate, whoopdeedoo...) out of pocket with an obvious full upgrade at a T-Mobile store not an "Authorized" reseller. Close friend of mine paid the same amount as me shortly afterwards.
I would have much rather have paid the glorious $99 dollars you paid. Did you get it during a promotion?

The last time I bought a phone, upgraded, and added a 2 year contract on my plan was when I got a Blackberry Curve 8900 right around when the phone came out for close to $300. I've been using a jailbroken/unlocked iPhone I bought from a friend up until I got my S2 about 6 months ago. I paid $400 dollars (With a $50 dollar rebate, whoopdeedoo...) out of pocket with an obvious full upgrade at a T-Mobile store not an "Authorized" reseller. Close friend of mine paid the same amount as me shortly afterwards.

Thats very strange. I have never seen a subsidized phone at T-Mobile cost $300-400. It was a sale when I bought mine, but the normal price was $199

I got my TMO Sensation 4G in 8/2011 and it cost me $229 up front. Was supposed to be $249, but the salesclown screwed up and initially said $199. I was going to walk away, then he offered a bit less and I took it since I really wanted the Sensation. My big mistake, picking the phone first instead of the carrier. I didn't realize TMO coverage is not so hot here in Vegas. I will be switching to either Verizon or Sprint in 14 months unless TMO dramatically upgrades their coverage.

Just found my receipt, the breakdown looks like this.
Phone price - $279.99 (Discount - Normally $499.99)
Sales Tax - $43.59 (Based on the full price of the phone)
Upgrade Fee - $18.00
Upgrade Fee Tax -$1.58
Total = $341.58
I feel molested after hearing you paid a whopping $99 dollars....

What part of town? The Sensation 4G has mediocre reception, I had one. T-Mobile's biggest problem is EDGE coverage, not a total lack of. Thankfully after two years of them basically stopping any major investments in the Las Vegas area, they are picking back up again. Mountains Edge just got 4G HSPA+ instead of the 3G it was on.
Dude I can't wait!!!!!
