Thanks.

New G2x for less

Hi, I got my G2x recently and love it with all the customization I did on it. Now I want to buy one for my wife, but do not want go for another contract and monthly rate. My wife already has a prepaid account with t-mobile.
So if I buy the phone today (coming for free with 2yr contract) and cancel the account after 20 days and pay them around $270 ($200 ETF + $35 Activation + around $35 for 20 days of service), will there be anything wrong?
Hope T-mobile will not ask me to return the phone if I it is after 20 days and I pay the ETF.
Did anyone has done this in past?

thats how i got my g2x to start with..i paid the 199$ with 50$ rebate so 149$ paid etf after 15 days 200$ paid 349$ when phone was 500$ outright.
they said nothing.

Thanks for confirming that. At less than 300 its a nice phone to have..

If you can do that you are getting an excellent price for this device new. I paid $255 plus shipping for an excellent condition used device. New ones from reputable websites cost over $450.00. You are fulfilling your obligation under the contract you agreed to so I see nothing wrong in doing this. This type of practice is why Verizon raised their ETF fees. People were getting new phones, paying a $150 cancellation fee and then selling the devices on eBay for more than double what they paid.

Try going to Target. My local target just gave me an amazing deal. They have much more leniance when it comes to upgrades and new plans. Im on a family plan with 5 lines. Only 2 were eligable for upgrade. He gave us 4 phones at upgrade price while only upgrading 2 lines. Three G2X's @ $149.99 each.

I just ordered the G2x for my wife. Wish there was a way to tell t-mobile that I really do not need 20 days of service and want to cancel now

Go on ebay, you can find a bunch of these phones on their now.

Minimum I could find is $315. And ebay purchases always have issue with warranty. So getting form t-mobile for less than $300 is much better.

Wow. you guys are brilliant. lol. I think i'm gonna try that now that the g2x is free.

If it works out then great. I'd make sure to read through any fine print very carefully before making any commitment to sign or cancel the contract. Are there special conditions/fees when you're getting the handset for free?

Yea he has to carry the data plan on that line also for the.partial month so that's another small fee you have to figure in plus activation fee.

I added everything in my first post:
early termination fee = 200
activation = 35
Service = 35 for 21 days. ((50/30) * 21)
total = 270 + tax...
Everything should come for less than 300.

Right on.

You are right about eBay. No warranty as they are resales and/or not authorized resellers. The warranty is for original purchaser from authorized sales channel only. eBay and Craigslist are not authorized sales channels. Go the T-Mobile route and have a warranty. Good catch. Enjoy your low cost phones.

This should be stickied, haha. Tmobile would be getting all kinds of people doing this.

dont make a habit of buying phones!! I have a pretty long list of them, anyways Ill probably being selling a sensation for a g2x and $140 today. Just not a fan of sense UI!

That's one of the reasons I bought a G2X and imported it to Thailand. The 2X models sold here have the god awful LG UI, which appears to be a mimic of the Samsung CrapUI. I hate them all. I prefer plain Android UI thank you. Plus the demo unit I saw at the LG store at a local mall here had more craplications on it then I have ever seen before. Three or four screens of them. Way more than the few apps T-Mobile forces upon us.

Yea MIUI is running pretty nice on mine. Loaded up Go Launcher and I'm pretty happy.
Really happy with this phone. Lots of development for it. CM7, MIUI, custom stock, OC/UV kernels. Very nice.
LG G2x - 2.3.5 MIUI Love
Asus TF - Custom 3.2

Its coming for free again for 3 days. Go for it if you want one for less

Original full price for NS4G?

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.

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.

You folks must all be the daddy warbucks type. I got my NS4G brand new off craigslist for $170 in box, a month ago. Pays to arrive late at the party and pay way less.

They're giving em away for free a BB right now where i live

I traded my Evo for mine. Definitely satisfied with my end of the trade.

AT&T Black LG G2 sold out everywhere? (USA)

Edit: Title should've said "Black LG G2 sold out in all AT&T online and local stores everywhere in the USA"
I'm trying to get a black AT&T LG G2, but it seems sold out everywhere. This includes online and local stores.
I need to purchase from AT&T only because of our business account.
What's going on here? I hope LG didn't stop production.

Really. ..where you from

Lol... LG stopped production on their flagship device? No. A lot of cell companies are out of the G2 bc of holiday sales. I had to track down a white one for Verizon and it took awhile. Best bet is to either order it online from AT&T or Amazon. Store restocks can take a while.

He said its for work. So has to be a corporate store. I have a Verizon G2 for work and only a corporate store can upgrade a line on a corporate account.
Perhaps call and order over the phone. They should be able to activate the sim and ship you a new phone next day.

Yeah the phone in black is readily available on Verizon's site. Have it shipped to the store and activated if they won't do it over the phone.
My last work upgrade on the corporate account went through just fine over the phone. So idk if I'm just lucky or what.

i know he needs it for work, but perhaps this might work.
Get to the verizon website by going through ebates, and you can get $160 in rebates on a new activation.
Ebates is a referal site that has no hooks or gimmicks. THey just want you to shop online by clicking on their site first. THe money is sent to you via check or paypal. And it works.
Use this link
http://www.ebates.com/rf.do?referrerid=ZQQOxOWLyiswubRX0c1paA==
Create your account
Search for verizon wireless, and it will open a new window to it. THen shop around and get $160 back.
Simple. No gimmicks, no tricks.

It's finally in stock on AT&T's website. I placed an order and should arrive sometime next week.
I still find it weird that it was sold out online and in all AT&T stores. I tried placing an order over the phone too and got the same out of stock. The AT&T rep even tried calling local stores in my area and was also told out of stock.

Well now, can't understand why folks want to violate XDA rules.
More specifically.... the "Profanity" rule. Any explanation?
Please feel free to PM me, and explain why one needs to confuse XDA with a social network site, and argue "freedom of speech" (it don't exist here, as XDA is a Developers site)
Next profanity, and it won't be a pretty outcome.
Keep it clean please.

In in NorCal and I've yet to see anyone with the G2...really surprised the local AT&T stores were sold out. Maybe there was a promotion going on for the holiday season. Anyways, hope you enjoy the G2 as much as I do. Superb battery life! Got over 5 hours of screen time use lately..LOVING it!

I'm in the market for a G2 now, and it seems the same thing is happening. AT&T's site says it's sold out. I called my local store (York, PA) and they say it's not marked as end of life, but they told me no other local stores have them in stock either. Could it now be because of the Flex?

Could be just catching people's attention maybe? Just picked one up, and let's just say my HTC One is getting a bit jealous, lol. I never even heard of this phone until a couple of weeks ago.

I ordered the white one on the att site on the 30th, during the one day it's been in stock. Now it's back ordered. Hope it doesn't take forever.

I hope it gets there for you quickly. I want the white as well, but both colors are out no matter what store I call. Something is definitely up.

Amazon has them in Stock. Matter of fact I just refused a few from postal carrier as I went with Verizon. Get the prime trial and you have it in a day for 4 bucks shipping.

Amazon wants 200 dollars more than AT&T though. Thanks for the thought though.

Hello? Is the D6616 out there?

I would love to purchase this device new, not used on Swappa or the like. Has anyone had any luck since T-Mo discontinued it?

Maybe call up all of your local stores and ask if they still have any in inventory? They might still sell them.

Try Amazon or eBay. I bought a replacement Sprint G2 factory sealed on eBay as an example. Just make sure sellers have at least 100+ sales with 95-100% positive feedback sales so you know they are reputable.

All the tmobile stores I been to still have them. I'm in NYC btw...
