EDIT:
You have to login and click UPGRADE now instead of this link now! Then choose the thunderbolt! I use firefox and it still shows these prices, but it might be because I didn't clear my cookies. I cleared my cookies in IE and it didn't show the prices I mentioned before unless you go to My Verizon home and click Upgrade phone under my Device.
I ordered it 1 year for $229
They have 2 year for $200
They were showing the full price as $449 earlier, but now it shows $600 for me
But at this time the 1 year and 2 year prices are as I stated above in firefox and IE
YOU MUST LOGIN TO SEE PRICE!
You have to login to see price!
1. Login

Same here, 249/319.

I think it was a typo early this morning. I saw it at first, but didn't pull the trigger on it, now it's showing the "correct" price.

2. Go to My Verizon Home
3. Under my device click "Upgrade Now"
it should show the $229 or $200 price still there if you cant see it where I linked it!

I did. Chose to upgrade my phone, $249.99 2yr. Think I'll just hit up the local store instead.

I got the same deal, I was on the phone with a VZW rep and she said she didn't know why I got the price I did.... She couldn't match it from her side, so I went ahead and ordered the phone online.

I was able to order through my company web portal this morning. Got it on a 1 year for $229.99. Showed up as $319 on the general public VZW page though.

The difference would probably be if your due for your NE2. purchased mine for $229 / 1 yr contract. This line WAS due for it
Btw: my price came up at $149 for a 2 yr contract. Guessing this is my last $50 from them though

Awesome!
It still shows in both places for me with firefox when I login, I had to do the login stuff and upgrade phone with IE

it only shows this if you get a discount through a job

im getting my for 50 dollars but i just looked anywayz , says 249 for 2 yrs & 319 for 1 one for me

I got in for the $199 for 2 years

Do you guys think value wise its more worth it to go with the 1yr at 229 since you'd be up for another subsidized phone price in a year? My employer's vzw site has the 229 1yr active.. should I do it? Currently my order is placed with amazon for $180 shipped (no sales tax which is another 40 dollars in savings), but I have to wait till Monday to get it
Thoughts? Thanks!
The other thing is that after a year, I seriously doubt ulimited LTE will still be 30/month so I feel like the 1 year kinda could screw you?

Says my order shipped, but shows no tracking yet!

i tried going through my verizon account online and selecting the upgrade option, still showed the $249 for the 2 year contract.
but then i tried my employer's portal to the verizon store online and got the $229/1 year and $199/2 year contract prices. guess for whatever reason my account isn't fully synced to show my employer's affiliation. hmmm this could be a good way to get the tbolt for cheap.....i think i'll go check one out in person at verizon and then decide.

Do you guys think that after 1 year when you have to sign a new contract... will you still be able to pay the $30 unlimited lte? hmmm crapshoot

Best price for a Sensation w/o Walmart store?

No Walmart store around me.

Picked up mine at Costco on Sunday for $170. If its goes on sale in 30 days I'll get the sale price.

Damn, $250 for upgrades, and that's without a $50 rebate available.

I was at Walmart today & they also wanted $250 to upgrade...I passed. Plus I'm not big on 2yr contracts...

I'd wait until it goes on sale shortly, I'm sure crazy deals will pop up around that time. I got mine from wal-mart online @ $148 but I had an upgrade coming. Nice to see you thinking about getting one.

Off T-Mobile's twitter...

The Walmart site says the purchase must be made by the 16th now. Backordered where I live.

The Costco price was a new contract.

where is the best(cheapest) place to do that?

It's $179.00 on amazon wireless
amazon wireless is selling it for $179.00 and you don't need a mail in rebate for that price. This price is for upgrades and new plans. Just thought I would share that. I personally hate mail in rebates. Oh, and also free two day shipping and no sales tax. So yeah.

Amazon is listing it as back ordered. FYI...you will pay an ETF of $150 with Amazon if you cancel your account within 180 days. That's on top of T-Mobile's $200.

That shouldn't matter unless someone doesn't want to stick with their plan. I've been with t-mo forever and am not leaving until ATT devours up my contract. Sucks that's they're sold out, but it gives me time to sell my other phones so that I can buy it.

A few questions:
Is this available to upgrades as well? (People who have recently completed a 2-year contract.)
Can you keep a grandfathered plan (myFaves) or does it make you sign up for one of the new standardized plans?
Can you bundle it with the $120 Father's day special?

HOLY SH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They charge you FULL TAX for the FULL PRICE of the phone ($550)??
PLUS an $18 "upgrade" fee?!
PLUS shipping?! (UPS Ground $5.99 or 3-day UPS Express $19.99)
Wow!
Is there any reason why you would buy through T-Mobile rather than Amazon or Wirefly????
All these extra costs just completely wipe out the savings from that $50 coupon. What the heck??

Upgrading to Moto G worth it?

Hi guys
Would it be worth going from Samsung Galaxy SII to a Moto. It seems like a grea but Im not sure its worth it. Is the camera better or worse then
current GSII.. Don't need it for music youtube alot..
Thx guys.

Well Moto G is an upgrade from the GSII, specially if you consider that the Motorola hardware and bechmarks are compared to the GSIII, although Moto G is 175$ cheaper. The only thing that you would miss upgrading is the camera, the GSII camera is pretty good even these days.

Touch control the only bit
It is worth it, cheap, unlocked and feels great in my hands if I could install touch control I would no miss my nexus 4 at all. The battery seems to be better than the nexus 4 too.
I say go for it.

Is ti worth paying $275 cad for it with in store activation.Activation is $35. Either that or Telus charges $60 to take device without activation.

Another Canadian user here -- depending on where you are, you can buy an unlocked Moto G from the US website (can't post a link, but google "Moto G" and it's the first or second result), as long as you can get it shipped to a US address. Then it's just a hop across the border away.
Other thing is, I don't know about Telus, but I did call Koodo when this phone came out and the rep said that if I bought the phone from them, it'd be SIM-locked to Koodo. I see that you're on Telus, but if having an unlocked device is important to you, you might want to get it elsewhere.

I bought from Koodo for $200 outright, plus tax, the week it came out. The Telus stores refused to sell outright, and when I pushed it I was told I could buy outright from the Telus website, or wait a few months. A 2nd store said they could sell outright in a week or so.
I think Google/Motorola's deal requires carriers to sell outright if asked, which is why Telus website outright buys had to be allowed.
Here in Canada we're SUPPOSED to have new regulations in place requiring carriers/sellers to unlock them on demand, more or less immediately I think, with no charge, if you buy a phone outright.
That's my read on the new regs, I'm not sure how right I am or how well that's going yet.
Anyway, it's only a few bucks to get an unlock code on EBay or wherever.

Do not get it from Telus, try going to FutureShop, Best Buy, or The Mobile Shop. Buy it from Koodo on a $150 tab, activate, get $100 in gift cards, then cancel after 30 days. It's a lot cheaper and you don't need to sign a conttract.

Neither or those stores are close but I live in a smaller town, with none of big box stores anywhere close buy.. Telus lady said either I pay $35 in store activation cause of new sim and such or $60 to leave store with phone and sim and activate at home..

Damn, I guess they have switched to in-store only pricing.
For the money that Telus wants, I would look into getting it from the US via Amazon or Motorola. It should be unlocked and you could get the GSM or international version.
I'd say the Moto G is a definite upgrade over the S2.

Been looking at ebay I may just bite the bullet and pay $200 for phone $10 for sim and activation fee. I guess Moto G is considered a contract phone as live chat says I should not pay either of those fee's.

It's in store only. Sorry forgot to mention that. Updated OP with picture!

apparently this is currently only on the east coast as well. most users on the west coast have seen $50 at the most. myself including

I'm checking in the Nexus player section today because I picked up one this morning at a Frisco, TX Target for $24.98.
My original tip to the sale was from here: http://slickdeals.net/f/8168644-nexus-player-on-clearance-at-target-for-24-98-ymmv. There is plenty of discussion there about regional distribution and timing of the markdowns.
I also checked local inventory levels via brickseek.com, which seemed reasonably accurate (though it showed a $50 price, despite the lower in-store price).

The slickdeals thread has the details, but apparently most Targets do markdowns in electronics throughout the day on Mondays. So it's not surprising that you saw it for $50 yesterday.

Interesting, I went to one and called another here in El Dorado County (east of Sac). And both showed $50 still.
I actually used to work for Target. The one that I worked at were always done with markdowns by 10am, perhaps they are on a different schedule...

Yeah when I first heard I was skeptical because the website show'd $99, but then in the store it show'd $49, and then the clearance down to $25. I don't care how it got to $25, i'm just glad I got one!

Grabbed the final one in Brentwood MO. Did an inventory check at the store. Nothing available in the St Louis area.

in north texas as well. I went to Target in Allen off 75. It still showed $50 when the guy scanned it, but i told him my "friend bought one clearance at another target" and showed him the pic from slickdeals. He matched it for me....but only for 1. That was on Sunday afternoon. I need to go back and see if they finally marked the rest down. These would be good xmas gifts for my nerdy friends haha....my family wouldnt know what to do with these things.

Today is the markdown day. All Target store will have this for $25

Doesn't seem they are killing Android TV. I think it's possible they are releasing a new Nexus Player, Google usually doesn't announce hardware in advance. But who knows, we'll see in a few weeks.

This thread is reserved for unlocked T-mobile V10 on AT&T network

Since it appears the AT&T V10 is bootloader locked. I will not purchase another bootloader locked phone, period! This thread is information on using the T-Mobile V10 on the AT&T Network. Discussion should include LTE bands, apps, signal problems, carrier unlocking methods, etc.
T-Mobile unlocking policy
Key posts in this thread:
Why Band 17 is missing on T-Mobile and AT&T listed LTE bands for V10. Thanks @ubergeek77
Confirmation that band 17 works! Thanks @eazyg
WARNING - Only T-Mobile can unlock your phone. Thanks @ubergeek77
How to purchase a T-Mobile V10 without a plan. Thanks @charlieb620
How to fix battery drain from com.android.phone on AT&T
Will update this thread with other key posts as needed.

http://www.mylgphones.com/lg-v10-lg-h960-with-us-lte-compatibility-passes-fcc.html
This looks interesting. Looks like band 17 is included.
Note as information is confirmed, I will change the OP.
Thanks.

The other thread mentioned T-Mobile chat said a T-Mobile account holder could check in their My T-Mobile page. I looked, "Technical specifications not available for this device."
Also, the box does not list any band support.
Also, I can't test another SIM really since I don't have SIM unlock (you can request it from T-Mobile if your device is paid off or you're going overseas).

I guess the only real way to find out is to actually buy the phone, try it for ourselves, and do a speed test. I'll volunteer, but since I called T-Mobile and they refuse to sell the phone without a plan, I have to wait for Best Buy to start selling the phone. Shouldn't be long, as I called them and was told to check back on Monday. Plus, since the terms for LG's special SD card offer (which ends in about two weeks) lists Best Buy as a seller, they will probably start selling them within the next week. But then I'll have to wait for T-Mobile to send me an unlock code, which will only take 3 days. Worst case scenario, 4G either doesn't work or is garbage and I have to return the phone, which I'll have 14 days to do for a full refund.
But if anyone figures out we get decent/excellent LTE speeds before I end up buying it, that would be awesome

According to the specs at http://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phones/lg-v10.html?icid=WMM_TM_Q415LGPPLS_8HBL95OSNEJ3237#features (also in the screen shot)

Looks like it has 2 and 4 for AT&T but no 17 or 30 (for later). Though band 12 should be supported next year anywhere band 17 works.

Since 12 and 17 are both a part of LTE700, do we know for sure if that will be enough to use AT&T's 4G network assuming we have the T-Mobile V10?

I put an app on a T-Mobile Note 3 named LTE Discovery. One must have band 17 for LTE in my location for AT&T LTE. On the T-Mobile web site the Note 3 does support LTE band 17. This does not look good, but will wait until someone confirms. At least on the FCC site the phone has been approved for LTE band 17 but it is not clear if this is the AT&T or T-Mobile version. One last thing the AT&T website does not list support for LTE band 17 either (very strange). Here is the AT&T V10 Bands: LTE: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 12, 29, and 30
Will try to buy this phone if they will unlock it at the store. Fat chance.

They won't, but T-Mobile made it very clear that they would send me an unlocking code after I bought the phone (paid in full), so long as I can wait 2-3 days. This is why I want to wait until Best Buy sells it, because their return policy is so rock solid, and I can take advantage of that if 4G doesn't work. I can't say the same for trying to return the phone to T-Mobile. Plus, I really like Best Buy's accidental damage plans, so I'll wait for them to start selling it there.

Good information but the local bestbuy only sales T-Mobile prepaid phones.

I picked up the v10 yesterday from T-Mobile and they gave me the phone and said they would unlock it immediately if I wanted to stay with AT&T. They will also finance it if I want. I told them exactly what and why I wanted to get this phone from T-Mobile instead of AT&T and they had absolutely no problem with it. I am testing the T-Mobile Service for now to see if it will work in my area. Would be close to $80 a month cheaper if I switch and a ton more data a month. Maybe certain areas have different rules? Not sure why my T-Mobile store would do that and others won't.

Different stores do different things. Reminds me of the cricket store here. I wanted to buy a sim card and port my number they told me to go to walmart to buy one and call cricket to port my number. Anyway my son-in-law went to the cricket store in his area and they not only gave him a free sim card but ported his number. These stores don't have consistent policies.
Whatever.

I was told that the stores themselves don't have any authorization to do that kind of thing (carrier unlock), and that I'd have to go through customer care if I wanted to unlock it.
Did they tell you that in person? I find that what you're told on the phone and what actually happens in person are two very different things.
Did you get it unlocked yet? Everyone's pretty eager to see if 4G works.

In person. I made it a point to ask. The guy that was helping me called his general manager to make sure. I didn't want to do this and get screwed over later if the guy didn't know what he was talking about.
Not unlocked yet. I'm finding the signal from T-Mobile is better than I had with AT&T so far. The true test will be when I go to work on Monday. For anyone with T-Mobile the service sucks inside the building I work in.

I definitely wish I could do the same. I have to drive nearly 70 miles to get to the nearest T-Mobile store, and of course they have coverage in that area, but they have absolutely no coverage where I actually live. If the phone works for sure on AT&T, I won't mind driving all that way to get it, nor will I mind paying the extra $35 for a stupid plan (really crappy that they force that on you), but I want to find all that out before I go an hour out of my way to find out I'm out of luck. I also really want to get this sorted out before the free SD card/battery promotion runs out. I'm considering just getting the AT&T one on a payment plan, but I just don't know how I'm going to get by without root.

At T-Mobile now to get unlock. Signal dropped as I drove past my job. I can't have the signal drop at work. I will let you know how it goes.

Thanks! I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say we all really appreciate it. If you could use the speedtest.net app too, that would be awesome!

I called all the t-mobile stores close by and none have had the v10 in stock. All said it could be ordered and delivered in 2-3 days. Either they didn't have many or this is a hot phone.

There were only 2 stores in my area that had it and both probably sold out last night or today. (there's a ton of stores near me but only the "big" ones had it in stock yesterday.)
I was in store buying mine around 530 last night and a guy came in to get one as I was finishing up. The rep that was helping me was also going to buy one that evening and they only had like 4 left when I originally called.
I think its going to be more popular than they are anticipating because of the **removable battery and sd card**!
Samsung ditched a lot of people when they dumped the battery and sd and we've been waiting!

Only $530 at T-Mobile? As in $499.99+tax? Why so cheap? I thought T-Mobile's retail price was $599.99.
