$19.99 htc inspire at costco

i dont think u can beat this deal anywhere. I got one 2 days ago and now thinking about rooting the bloody thing but christ it seems awfully hard to do and then sticking a rom is even harder compared to my old tilt 2!!

wow what a deal... do people really think this phone is worth that price?? i personally think it's better than the atrix (minus the laptop dock)

It is not as hard as you think, all you need do is read the threads and take your time, I rooted a long time ago when bubby first did the one click, since then he has made it less complicated, the hardest part most are having is making a gold card, just take your time and you will do fine. I am rooted and am running Core Droid Gingerbread rom and have no sign of AT&T left on my phone. It is great, give it a try!!!! You can do it, the only thing holding you back is you!!!

I got better than that from AT&T directly. Free phone, no shipping, no activation, 2 yr contract extension, early-upgrade. Granted I've been with AT&T since 1999 and I give them a decent chunk of my paycheck every month.
You just have to be patient with them, be willing to stay on hold for a bit, ask for a supervisor, and remember a few key phrases: "Long time customer..." "Pay bills on time..." "Been loyal through Iphoney induced network problems..." "Other carriers offering better equipment, and with contract expiring soon..."
That has always worked for me. The phones aren't always free, but I've always gotten a better deal than the normal upgrade price. At the very least the rebate price without dealing with the rebate. I've even gotten an upgrade price on an equipment replacement without contract extension.
Not sure if there are specific guidelines they use as far as longevity, monthly service charge, etc. You just have to be polite and insistant, and companies will generally give you what you want to keep you as a happy customer, AT&T included.

woww that is a deal and a half))my son just came home from school and he said his buddy told him that more people are bricking their phones when they try rooting... but then what does a kid know)))

They have it marked down to a penny if you buy it online with two year upgrade.

any way to make AT&T match this deal? The wife just paid 99 bucks for hers when I added a line last week.

shoot I'd just pay the restocking fee, and then buy from costco and it would still be cheaper. I am not sure att will match it though. I know you can't buy it out of contract Online. I was looking to see what they would charge maybe get my wife one so she can get away from her captivate.

I got mine free from radio shack and I was expecting to pay For it. Don't know how I get it free though

I got my Inspire from Costco about two weeks ago, and then upgraded one of my kids to one last week as well -- took advantage of that Costco deal! And no, AT&T could care less about price matching.
I rooted both of our phones last night. Read more than I did before I flashed my Tilt 2, but after my kid said just watch the Youtube video, I was ready. LOTS and lots of steps, but his rooted exactly as advertised. I did the same steps to mine, got hung up on the final step (pushing the new ROM back to the phone) but found a post in @bubby's thread about the same issue; I manually copied the image to my SD card and entered the bootloader, and now my Inspire is rooted as well.
Lots of great deals out there, BTW. Look at Cartoys and Radio Shack; the Costco deal ends pretty soon.

i got mine from Costco, i only paid the tax and an upgrade fee which will show up on my att bill. id say i came out on top

I just checked ... price is 1 cent now with a 2 yr extension. May have to go to KC!!

I too got mine from Costco for a penny! :-D According to tracking, I'll have it Wednesday. And then...we root! :-D

On a sidenote... I only agree with one line on here. "However now more then ever who you get on the other end of that line MATTERS." ...Unfortunately, this is true. I am a Level 2 technical support agent for Philips Electronics. If you catch an agent on a bad day, then don't expect much. HOWEVER... I personally try to remain fair... If you call me and ask for support, you BETTER be nice. If you are a jerk, yell, cuss, racist, etc...YOU GET NOTHING!
I deal with all walks of people on a daily basis. Kindness is key. It also helps to know how to speak and speak properly.. "Key phrases" mean nothing to me. But that's just me. It's all about the attitude. If you are nice, I'm willing to GIVE you almost anything. If you are an A$$hole...well...you get the idea.
One final note...It DOES NOT matter what nationality you or the tech support rep are. One of the nicest people I have ever met is this guy that sits beside me at work. He is 100% Irish, and hates the world. But again...if you are nice, he will give you whatever you are asking for.

I have an Atrix, not worth it at all... Even with the Dual Proc and Laptop dock. Call quality sucks, signal sucks and worst of all, it seems like they took someone's custom ROM (Alpha Build) and released it (get Aqua/Robot Voice at times) and instability so they have to make a fix for it and THEN wait for AT&T to release it...
Thanks, but no... not at all worth it.
The Inspire though? Yeah, worth way more. I paid full price for mine (no upgrade available on any of the 5 lines... )

I got my Inspire from Costco for $19.99. It did not take too long either. They also gave me a free car charger, head set, and leather case.
On a side note: I don't like ordering things like phones (Atrix) or laptops(Asus) online because if their is a problem with it takes week to get there and get back to you.

How much off contract and from where?
I tried buying it though Costco online but I wont let me keep my grandfathered unlimited data plan. I still cant decide whether to use my upgrade or buy it off contract.

I've been seeing lately that its now $79, and as a CostCo Member, its as low as $50 on a two year contract. Its still a great price.

Staples has it for $50, verified as of yesterday.

G2X - How much of an upgrade over a Galaxy S 4G?

I just started a new contract with T-Mo Tuesday night, and got the Galaxy S 4G for free. (It was a one night special!) It seems like a solid phone, and my only complaints so far are the low internal memory (which I understand can largely be fixed by rooting and moving apps to the SD) and the occasional sluggishness. I'm also a little worried about upgrades of the OS, as I've heard some bad things about Samsung in this regard.
How big a difference would I see with the G2X? Is it worth the possible extra $200 I'd have to shell out to get it, considering I got the SGS4G for free?

as a previous VIBRANT and SGS4G owner i will tell you GET IT!
dual core>single
1080p camera/mirrioring>****ty 4g no flash camera
DIVEX!
there are many more
do research before you buy but YES it is a upgrade its the top phone to buy right now (till the SGS2 comes out)
and if you still got your 14days to exchange it do it! (if you still are in your 14 day grace period you WILL NOT have to pay a xtra 200 bucks! just pm me and ill tell you more!)
and if you dont like it im sure you can sell on ebay for close to 400-500 bucks!
(i hated the fact that the vibrant had 16GB internal memory but the 4G did not so i also switched it for the G2x....)
good luck and hope i helped!

Its not worth the $200. I have only used one in the store, but i would hardly call it a quantum leap in terms of features or speed.
Spend the $200 on a used tablet instead

You may have gotten the phone for free, but its still a 2-year contract. A 2 year contract on a phone that is basically a vibrant with 4g and ffc that came out July 2010. In my opinion I would get a phone that is newer technology. I love my vibrant a lot and its a fantastic device, but I would not however sign up for a 2-year contract on a 9 month old phone. If you do not change phones often then free isnt a bad thing at all, just wish it was newer. My 0.2 cents

The 2-year contract is what is making me consider the switch, even if I do have to shell out some cash to do so. (I EXPECTED to have to spend money up front, just caught a break on that SGS4G deal.)

I understand. I mean a free phone is always awesome lol, just hard to push contract on 9month old phone into my head. I go through 2-3 phones a year so I always buy mine outright, but that isnt an option for everyone. The SGS4g is a great device and still impressive with a custom rom on it. Cheers

You wont have to shell out any more money since you are still under 14 days. Just go to the store with a reciept and the phone and ask for an exchange. Unfortunately ive had my galaxy s 4g since launch so im pretty much SCREWED.

I called T-Mo tonight to ask about exchanging my GS4G for the G2X, and it looks like it will work out. The Galaxy S 4G is already back in the box and ready to ship out tomorrow morning. They said they'll be express shipping the G2X for me as well, I can live without a phone for a day or two.

I think he will have to shell out 199 for the G2X vs the FREE for the Vibrant4G thats with 2 Year Contract.
And yeah I would take the Vibrant4G back and pay the 199 and get the G2X. You could also use the Equipment Installment Plan and only pay like $50 I think. and then 50 or 100 a month untill the 199 is payed off.
The Vibrant was free but like said before is about a year old vs something that is brand new. If Im going to sign a 2 year contract might as well get the latest and best because without the 2 year contract your looking at 499.

The G2X also doesn't feel like it'll break if you look at it wrong.

Possible solutiom
Look for my thread in the G2X forums, it has info you may be interested in. Sorry I cant post link, i'm using my cell for this reply.

Actually, it's the Galaxy S 4G I got for free, not the Vibrant. I think it is working out for me because there were other issues with my account surrounding my plan based on what I was told versus what I was actually going to be charged. Basically, I've been getting the runaround on a few things, have been getting miffed, and I think they are trying to make me happy at this point.

did you know you can sell a vibrant on ebay for like250 bucks... and a SGS4G for like 300+... why wouldnt you just sell the phone and tell them to give you a free upgrade or your gonna cancel service... and if they ask why you want a free upgrade tell them your vibrant/SGS4G got stolen and you need a new phone... or make something up...

Depending on how fast he trying to sale his Vibrant4G/GalaxyS4G you can get it gone quick on craigslist.
200-250 Will get it sold day one especially if you put it up on a Thursday/Friday
300-350 Might take a min to sale on craigslist but should deffinetly sale.
Then come out of pocket around 200-250 and get the G2X

i can confirm i sold a vibrant for 200 on craigs list within a day
bought a 150 gallon tank from my friend for my male and female ball python
(hope they breed this spring!!)

I would stay away from SGS 4G if I was you because the application storage is too low for me.
G2x, on the other hand, has nearly 2GB for applications which is necessary for games (and newer applications take up to 50MB).

advice please....buying skyrocket off Cl

I am buying a skyrocket tomorrow off a guy on craigslist and I'm just wondering if there is somethingbi should look for to make sure it's legit. I mean am I good asnlong as it just turns on? I intend to root and load custom roms on it like I have done many times on.my infuse. I'm just wondering cuz I don't wanna get burned. He says it's only a day old and still has the no driving while texting sticker on it in photos. He's only asking 300 though!!!" How can he be selling it for only 300 a day old. Seems too good to be true!!!!

Start it up, if it vibrates when it turns on, the vibrate works. Let it boot up and make sure the keypad works when you have to create your account to make sure the touchscreen is fine.
Make sure it's the Skyrocket and not the S2. The Skyrocket says Galaxy SII on the back but the camera is different and so are the front buttons, look at pictures to compare.
The reason people sell brand new phones for lower than retail is because the people start a new contract, get a top of the line phone for free or dirt cheap and then they sell it and continue using their previous phone.
$300 for a Skyrocket is a steal in my opinion, test and make sure everything works and all the accessories are there.

He may have got it for free from AT& T when he boight a Galaxy Tab. They have a a deal going on.

[Q] Skyrocket Refurb only $19.99 on att.com

Been thinking about upgrading to this phone for a while however with the rumor mill spinning about the S3 I have been sort of reluctant to go for it, but at this price point I'm almost just wanting to ignore the rumors about the S3 and just go for it!!
Advice please!
I am a longtime galaxy S fanatic, currently holding the captivate and running an ICS rom.
I used to work a retailer of AT&T so I know the contractual obligations of a refurbished device differ from a brand new one (90 day warranty vs. 1 year) however I feel I'm savvy enough to know that I'll never really have to go through the warranty department to get a new phone-because if i run into any issues, i'll just jig the bastard and start fresh.

Yeah I had to jump on it. There was no way, I completed the purchase before you even posted. HERE I COME, LTE! (except it's probably not available yet in my market)

I did the same switch on Monday. Traded in my Captivate to a Refurb Skyrocket. WOW is this thing fast. My area has LTE so it flies. I find it funny that i paid more for the phone case than i did for the phone. (bought a Seidio Active case).

Believe it or not a week ago they were $9.99. I wanted the SGS2, but I jumped all over the skyrocket at that price. No LTE here yet but still... Mine'll be here in the morning. Haven't bought a case yet, how's the hinge on the seidio active case,,, looks a lil flimsey in the videos I've seen.

Where are all these refurbs coming from? XDA members?

lol... prob! Just looked I dont see them listed on the website anymore, I guess they went fast.

Give it a few weeks and it will be back. Bricking is happening at a record pace.

I got my Skyrocket yesterday. So far I love it. I planned on leaving it stock for a while, but there was so much (IMO) crap on it, I rooted and removed a bunch of the AT&T and Samsung crud. So I am stock, but rooted. Also installed Launcherpro.
This has the fastest locking GPS I have ever seen on a phone. I can get a lock in 6 seconds in my basement. No other phone I have owned would get a lock downstairs. This is with the GPS only.

Hey everybody that ordered a refurb skyrocket make sure to check your invoice. Like I said I ordered mine at $9.99, they went up to $19.99 two days later. FINALY recieved my phone over the weekend along with a $49.99 invoice. No big deal I called and got it taken care of. I was charged $54.24 instead of $10.84, but I got the difference credited to my account so problem solved. Just a heads up to everybody.

I can get locked in to 8 satellites in my basement with this phone. Couldn't get a single satellite with my i9000 in the same spot. It has pinpointed me to my exact location.

Pissed the heck off. My little rant.

So I'm pretty darn pissed. My beautiful infuse was stolen today, along with my cherished 16gb sd card with all my music stored on it. I called up att and they deactivated it and i have insurance but there's a flippin $200 deductable just to get a possibly refurbished one while I can get a refurbed on on the online store for almost free with upgrade. What the freaking f? Now I'm back to my indestructible brick of a phone, the Tilt 2 with a new 3g sim card and figuring out what to do. My friend offered to sell me an old iphone 3gs and i'm also looking at maybe getting a refurbed gsII skyrocket for 20 bucks at the online att store but I dunno. I really liked my infuse and might get that again but maybe I should just switch over? I'm like at a bridge I'm deciding whether to cross or not. Any ideas or suggestions?
TL;DR stolen phone, deciding what to do next.

Sorry to hear that..

I would get something else besides the infuse. Get the skyrocket.

I can understand that. I've seen faster/smaller phones, but I can't give up my 4.5" screen. Even a 4.3 is noticeably smaller to my trained eye. And Notes are too expensive right now.

You didn't have where's my droid or my lookout on it for GPS locating? That does suck! I paid $190 cash for mine via a craigs list ad. Maybe you should keep your eye out on there.

Go for the Skyrocket. It's got the same 4.5" screen, but has better hardware (dual core, higher RAM, etc.)
Plus, it already has Gingerbread on it and official ICS has already been leaked.

But skyrocket too has the "black" color issue. I checked it out at the AT&T store when I went to return the note.

Or you could just suck it up for a few months and wait for the sgs3

Go for the skyrocket .. same screen and its a great device .. I have the infuse and the sky .. can't tell the difference except for the 4g icon .. I think the sg3 is just overkill for today's apps and stuff and especially if ur satisfied with how the infuse works (but that's just me) .. plus u will have a stable build of GB and ICS coming .. the skyrocket will get alot more love from att / Samsung than our infuse did :-/ ... although, yes, the development may not be as rich as our infuse section .. I have never had a problem with a refurbished phone .. usually they are returned phones within the 30 days but instead of sending them back to Sammy for new boxes and packaging, att does them

Thanks but I want to stay away from WinMo phones. WinMo = Avoid like plauge

put them side by side, and it is noticeable. Why would you want to go smaller? (that's what she said)

Now you're just being funny. I would quit using cell phones before I'd use a winphone.

I bet you have windows on your desktop. Just guessing.

Don't go back to the Infuse....AT&T won't be updating it to ICS officially. I liked my Infuse, but since I had the Best Buy buy back program I took it back and they gave me $240 for it and I bought the Note. The Note is nice, just wish the battery allowed me to have 3 or 4 hours of screen time at decent brightness lol
Get the SkyRocket or the Note. If you don't want either just wait a month or so for a newer phone.

So I'm pretty darn pissed. My beautiful infuse was stolen today, along with my cherished 16gb sd card with all my music stored on it. I called up att and they deactivated it and i have insurance but there's a flippin $200 deductable just to get a possibly refurbished one while I can get a refurbed on on the online store for almost free with upgrade. What the freaking f? Now I'm back to my indestructible brick of a phone, the Tilt 2 with a new 3g sim card and figuring out what to do. My friend offered to sell me an old iphone 3gs and i'm also looking at maybe getting a refurbed gsII skyrocket for 20 bucks at the online att store but I dunno. I really liked my infuse and might get that again but maybe I should just switch over? I'm like at a bridge I'm deciding whether to cross or not. Any ideas or suggestions?
TL;DR stolen phone, deciding what to do next.

I got the note for 150 without a coupon or anything... just rant to art or ask them straight up to help you, tell them that you don't want to pay for another infuse that will never be updated .. though its a bad ass phone
I sold my infuse to my brother and got myself the note .. I love the note!!!
