Lucky me. Got sensation for free - HTC Sensation

I walked in to bestbuy to price match from target. $100 and they said they would. They brought over their manager. Boom! Phone was given for $1 along with $10 insurance and $20 buy back program. So I walked out with only paying $30 plus tax. It's almost too good
to be true. But my girl is jealous. Lol

Sweet deal, I got my sensation for nothing too, only I paid nothing at all.
All I have to do is talk about it on Facebook now and again.

1 dollar is not free :s

Lucky me, got 2 Sensations and a G2x for free. I had recently swapped to Sprint, hated their service and switched back under the free phone promotions for the Sensation last Monday, and G2x this week.

I pay £36 a month ($58) 1250 any network mins, unlimited txt, 750mb data, 3000 landline minutes - free HTC Sensation -

Not nearly as good as the deal I got.
Some of you may not believe it but you can read my post explaining how I pulled it off. Just look back through my history. T-Mobile gave me a free Sensation, let me keep my G2X and kept me off of contract. Beat that deal!

Kept my DHD & got a Sensation for free

I'm on the market searching for a Sensation from T-Mobile but I've only seen it available for $250 as an upgrade I don't want to spend $250 + $10/mo data for 24 months, which is $490 total for everything.

If you're in the USA, Target online has it for $99. And I believe Costco has it for a good price as well. There's some threads about it in the forum somewhere.

Got mine completely free thru the web only promotion that T-mo ran a couple of weeks ago.

Congrats, mate.

Telecom NZ gave me a free HTC Sensation Z710a to review and write blog posts about here: http://www.geekzone.co.nz/TelecomTech/

It may be $129 tomorrow (Memorial Day) on Amazon for upgrades. Maybe cheaper for new customers. Check it tomorrow. If it is $129, I will probably pull the trigger.

As a new customer for AT&T you are able to use an online promotion that takes $100 off almost any phone as long as you order online. I tried it for the Infuse and it works, but since we're already customers we don't have access to any $100 off promotion. I didn't buy my phone at AT&T so I can't try getting $100 back.

So I called them today to complain about feeling as though I was "slapped in the face" as a loyal customer (been with bellsouth/ATT wireless since 1997). After a little interrogation and some hemming & hawing she gave me the $100 credit (105.42 to be exact). This phone rocks pretty hard with a $100 price tag...lol. I'm glad more of you have called and done the same thing. While I understand the importance of marketing to obtain new business, current customers should not be left out in the cold. ;-)

Spoke to two reps this morning both said no. One regular rep, another was the online rep. The online rep said I should just return my current unused Infuse, cancel the order and line, and re-order a new one for the $99 price since I'm under my 30 days. Made an note of it as well.
I'd loose the activation fee and have to pay another. Any idea's?

Ask for the retention dept, be adamant about the online price and tell them you want the credit. When I called I told them my brother just order the same phone online and got it for 99, the Rep said she couldn't do anything so I asked for a supervisor. He is the one that authorized the credit. Trust me if it comes down to losing a contracted $79 month customer over a $100 credit they will give you a "one time courtesy" credit. You just need to be persistent...

$550 plus tax for US sensation

When was the last time a phone was this high? It will probably be like 575 after taxes... after watching all of the videos.. it doesn't seem worth the price of a computer. This is like crime. I always buy my phones out right because I don't like to wait for contract renewals but another 75? I bet if they added more internal memory and a better video camera and screen it would be like 800 huh? Lol maybe I need to back off on being a phone fanatic lol

That's presently irrelevant in the US, because it hasn't been released in the US. I bet when it is released here, it's under $600.
I paid $650 for my GS2 with tax.
My Incredible was 550 six months after release. This doesn't seem outrageous.
Dunno why you're complaining, you guys have it cheap. In europe the average new phone, no contract costs $700-$800 usd. Currently the HTC sensation costs ~430pounds ($700usd) in the uk. The galaxy s ii also costs ~430pounds in europe and $800 aud in australia. The atrix is even more expensive, costing 500pounds ($850usd).

I'd pay that kind of money for the phone if:
1) It comes with almost no flaws/bugs
2) Its a Pentaband GSM/HSDPA Phone
2) I have full control over it (rooting)
3) I get at least 5 years of guranteed timely updates

Why would I not sell this for the extra 200 - 300 dollars???

Read the fine print, 99% sure that walmart will tack on another fee on top of your etf if you cancel your contract or remove data before 6 months into it.
I don't think walmart does.....I have my paperwork here and will read it now.
Would not waste my time but reading all the "should I buy or contract out " has me wondering.
For me Ive had a mt4g since day one and will be.cancelling that contract and if I get bored will sell it

Nothing about wallmart cancellation fees , just tmobile.
Anyways... I was just curious is all.
Shoot I could go setup a new family plan and pickup 5 phones, then resell at a quick 150 each profit... As I understand it.

Sorry for the stupid question but how much does this device cost with a 2 yr contract with T-Mobile. The website says 149$ now but is that the final price or will the final price be 50$ after mail in rebate? And is the price gonna drop anytime soon(hopefully on September) I want this phone more than anything right now but 149 is just too damn much for me.

Yes with 2 year contract! There is one weird thing that happed. I had an older data plan which had unlimited fot $20. It was before the time when T-Mobile introduced 2G/5 and 10GB plans. On all other phones that I had including: Galaxy S and S 4G, Galaxy Nexus, Nokia Win 7 phone and so on, I was able to use Wifi HotSpot with that old data plan. Now when I got HTC One S, it stopped working and every time I wanted to activate hotspot on my phone, a page would open up, stating that I need to pay for $15 extra... So I called customer care and told them the above story. She told me that my plan is old and about 6 months ago the company started to monitor and charge users for hotspot service. She said I would have to pay $35 total. So at the end I made her do it for $20 for 2 year. So now I have new plan with 5GB+hotspot. I think phones with Android 4+ t-mobile started to block users without hotspot plan. So you know.

Wow that sucks! I'm assuming that since you're on xda your phone is rooted which means you can get FREE wifi tethering apps in fact that's one of the main reason people root in the first place. You should look onto it if you don't already know by now. Its just what you need!
