Infuse Root?

They normally set up the forum ahead of launch.

sure do.. there is a forum already for the optimus 3d and its been up for over a month.. and that phone doesnt even have a release date yet!!.. seriously can we get a infuse 4g forum up.. im planning on getting the phone on launch day!!

I wouldn't say it's being blackballed but........the SGSII, Atrix, and others had forums months before their actual launches. There has been plenty of mention of the Infuse in other forums to warrant its own, but for some reason the Moderator is holding off despite several requests/suggestions from others in addition to my own.

I'm hoping to see a dedicated forum up soon as well. Lack of xda dev support is my only real concern with this phone.

And speaking of dev support, I wondering what the unlocking situation will be. I have to comit to having someone buy it for me on Sunday as I am currently living out of the US. I hope I don't purchase it to later find out that there will be problems unlocking it. Although from what I hear, Samsung is pretty good about this stuff.
On another note, many of us are still wondering what the off contract price will be. Nothing seems to be set in stone just yet, but people seem to be assuming around $499.

Costco not selling Infuse until Sunday 5/15 even though coupon for $30 off is dated 5/12-6/5.

What's your source on that? Does Costco only sell to you thru contract or will they do it full price.

Questioned kiosk manager due to discrepancy of dates . They got memo clarifying. Believe they will sell at full retail, but no phone leaves building without being activated. Costco ultra conservative and won't jeopardize any business relationships.

went into a local at&t store today to get a sim card and asked about the infuse.. they had the phone there in stock and said it would be $599 off contract!! .. im hoping that it is not true and its only around $499 but that is what i was told from the at&t store... just sharing..

Did they actually have them in stock? Could you have purchased one?

i know its 199 with contract the 599 doesn't sound right...
i have had my hands on one for a few hours today ... impressed with it so far .. to bad about no forum for it yet ... there a few people here and there that already have ones ... some were released out for people that will be selling them to get hands on before the normal release...

I know.... no forum for the Infuse sucks. I've been on some other forums and we're all hoping its $499 off contract. I'm trading in my Atrix on friday for this one and hopefully I can squeeze them to let me out with one early.

499 sounds more correct .. but not for sure ... normally the only phone they have that breaks the 500 mark is the current model iphone

there is a system dump on the other android forums right now.

are there any good sales for this phone?

Long story short: broke my Sidekick, need a new phone.
the only phones I'm interested in is another Sidekick ($380), or a mytouch 4g slide (at least $500). problem is, even though my contract has run only a few months, it's actually cheaper to pay the cancellation fee (max $200) and switch to another provider than to buy a new phone unsubsidized, which afaik, is all t-mobile will allow. (kind of a screwed up business model, huh?)
so since its almost black friday in 6 hours or so,, does anyone know of a good sale on either Mytouch 4g slide, or even the Sidekick?

May want to check t mobiles website. You can always buy a refurbished phone as well.

You would probably be better off buying the phone off ebay or Amazon, because they're a lot cheaper than buying them from TMobile

Should always pay the insurance fee....the 100 or so deductible is better than 500 to replace a phone....

I got mine on Craigslist back in October for $325, new. Check there?

thanks for the suggestions guys, but the only good deal I found at all was for the Samsung Transform Ultra, on Boost Mobile. so I went for that, I think I'll be pretty happy to finally have real stock android rather than a Sense/Touchwiz infection.
I did look for deals on tmobile phones, but they were all for new contracts and upgrades ONLY. I even got on the customer service line twice and explained to them that 1. I could not keep using the broken phone, and 2. the ONLY adequate replacements are twice the cost of cancelling; they did not seem to have a contingency for this. oh well, their loss. my new phone, of course, will have a protection plan, but still, Tmobile really should rethink their replacement system.

It's called $7 insurance, i have it i have replaced 5 G2's, 2 MyTouch 4G, and MyTouch 4G Slide is what im on now courtesy of them cancelling the G2, then they replaced it with a MyTouch 4G, then the MT4GS
I guess im treated well, maybe its luck, but im sorry you couldn't get a good deal on a phone. Enjoy your Samsung

Just sell your cell phone contract to a third party.

well now that i'm on Boost, I've been noticing that If I started a new contract with Tmobile under the current black friday weekend deals, I could get this or several other phones free and then actually recoup some of the money I just spent, provided I return the Boost phone I just bought. so:
in general, how good is this phone? I noticed it seemed smooth and lagless in store, but of course that's just a store model without a bunch of additional apps from the market. I'm mostly wondering if Sense causes problems at all regarding compatibility with any apps, or stability problems that wouldn't be expected to happen on a stock 2.3 rom. I have a stock 2.3 phone now, so that could be a risky change; however, this phone I have is only $230 new, single core, and is known for a screen sensitivity problem that may get worse on my handset, but may not.
also, could I expect any problems or side effects from rooting? one of my goals in that, if I get the MT4GS, will be to quickly turn the "genius" button into a search button. that cause problems for anyone? I did the same thing on the Sidekick, and sometimes it worked, sometimes not. but it may have just been that particular phone.

Well said. Nobody deserves to have to use a LG smartphone.

I like the G2X but why would you buy a phone that is over a year old and has already been officially EOL'd. Buy yourself a new faster, 1.5 dual core with a Pentaband 3/4g radio, or wait for one of the new tri or quad cores coming out soon.

Agreed. If I were looking for a phone and a plan right now, I would be all over this deal. Not all of us can drop a large amount of money on a smartphone. The only reason I got this one instead of one of the MUCH cheaper, lower end phones was because my uncle gave me the money for it. He knew I was struggling and wanted me to have something nice for a change. He knew my contract was about to expire so he gave me enough for the phone and upgrade costs.
Ok, so that was probably too personal of a post but regardless, the moral of the story is that not everyone can afford a smartphone. Even though there are numerous complaints about this phone, to a poor person this is pure gold, lol.

It may be free but I'm stuck on a 2 year contract if I do that. I got this phone for free (without a 2 year contact) and I still hate it. It has an okay feel to it, but it's just too buggy and battery is just too terrible.

This phone only sucks if you are a newb and can't install custom roms.

Thanks for the info! I was going to get tmobile last week and they had the mytouch 4G for freee and this week they have the G2x, which ends on thursday 1/19/12. So i guess i'll have to wait until friday and see what "higher" end device is free.

No, actually once you fix it, it is trully flawless. Install Bionix, fix mms, rip out the lg framework and any lg apps, set min clock to 300, Max clock to 916, and it'll run perfectly.

Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium

Most people who are looking for a deal/steal will go for the G2X even though it's an EOL fire sale which they won't be aware of. They also won't be aware of the lack of support for it. They will be sold on it because of what it can do for no $ investment compared to other no $ investment phones and they will be quite happy with it. They might even get a bonus if the class-action lawsuit succeeds.

I used to get phones by T mobile, by flexpay. You could sign a 2 yr deal, get new phones, whatever was free, just like monthly contracts. I would pay the bill for a few months, then get flexpay in my wifes name. I would pay hers for a few months, then apply in my name again. Flexpay it was flawed, because you could do that over & over getting free phones. That's why they got rid of flexpay because people were getting over like that. I did it like 4 times, and I don't know how they let me get by with it, I didn't lie? I kept new phones for several years. But I can't afford them now. I try to by them from people like my bro in law just sold me 2 like new MyTouch4g, for $80. I'm looking around for a couple Amazes right now.

The s4 is currently on sale at att online only for 29.99. The lady on the phone gave me an early upgrade+free overnight for it. http://www.att.com/shop/wireless/devices/samsung/galaxy-s-4-16gb-black-mist-refurb.html

If you cancel early, might be a good way to get a S4 somewhat cheap. Nothing will beat the 50% glitch that happened last month though.

I just ordered one as well. I was really trying to see what kind of deposit I thought I'd have to pay. They've always asked me for one. I was surprised & they approved me this time. I even got an iPhone 4 w/ 8 Gig for .99 cents.

I went and got it because of this deal. I really didn't want to upgrade yet, but my Nexus S is really starting to show its age (bless its heart). Custom ROMs can only take you so far with a device that old. I really don't want an S4 (hardware buttons including the ugly physical home button, front Samsung branding, little dev community support compared to my Nexus S), but the deal was too good to pass up. I guess I could sell this for $400-450 (maybe more?) by the time the next Nexus phone is out. Anyway, I can't wait for it to arrive so I can experience some of that 1080p Gotdamoled goodness. I may even keep it if the bootloader situation and community support gets better.

Heh, no need to get your panties in a bunch. It's called an opinion. Learn to deal with it.

I went and got it because of this deal. I really didn't want to upgrade yet, but my Nexus S is really starting to show its age (bless its heart). Custom ROMs can only take you so far with a device that old. I really don't want an S4 (hardware buttons including the ugly physical home button, front Samsung branding, little dev community support compared to my Nexus S), but the deal was too good to pass up.

I also came from a nexus s... Mine was the sprint ns4g variant. Haven't looked back. It was a total night and day difference between the phones. My ns4g has been reduced to a bare bones cm7.1 mp3 player.

An opinion is one thing, but dont bad mouth the community. There are developers busting their asses working on roms for free, show some respect. Or better yet learn to do something yourself

I see, you seem to think I was talking about the community. I wasn't. I was badmouthing Samsung. In regards to the community, I was simply stating the current situation of things. The community support for this phone, in which there's not much going on, is a result of Samsung's and the carriers' doing.
I'm not sure how what I said could be misinterpreted to mean I'm bad-mouthing any entity other than Samsung. Calm down, read, and stop looking for something negative.

Well the s3 gsm versions are still selling for $300 and up used. It should still hold its value at least until the s5 or whatever comes out.

Just sold my skyrocket for $220 on eBay. I'd say that held value pretty well. Listing my wife's S3 today, that should sell for $250+, and I really only need it to sell for $200 in order for her S4 to be completely free including activation.

$220 for your Skyrocket? That's good to know. ATT was willing to give $55 credit those cheap mofos.
My S4 is coming Monday but I'm not sure I can part w/ my Skyrocket

Yup, but it did sell with 2 cases plus 2 extra batteries. But still, I didn't expect that much. It was hard for me to part with my skyrocket as well, but wifey said sell it or no S4 lol. Out of respect I agreed. I don't regret it, I love my S4. I also got offered $55, and I told them I could sell it as a paperweight for that price.
