i got mine for 50 im on sprint

well seeing as how it was a bid starting at $49 yes i can imagine that.

Verizon Wireless and $99 Touch Pro 2
I bought my wife's Touch Pro 2 this past Friday for $99.00 with a 2 year extension of her contract. It said it was regularly $249.99 and with a $100.00 promotional credit and an additional $50 for the Buy New Every Two Years. Frankly, I don't care what they call it; bottom line with 8% tax paid $107.00. T-Mobile just reduced the price from $349.99 to $269.99. I'm done being on contract with T-Mobile and got mine from Craigslist for $265 and my step son's device $245 from eBay. I will say this, the Verizon Wireless edition of the Touch Pro 2 is thinner, sleeker and with a 3.5mm audio adapter and while testing it last night with NRGZ28s CDMA EnergyROM Windows Mobile 6.5 with "Leo" it ran terrific. My wife is a bit challenged with the device but that's another story for another day!

Lots of ways to do this if you're willing to sign a contract.

I saw your other post stating u got her this phone...this one made me laugh haha. After seeing my mom struggle on my old treo I'm not so surprised though.

Got mine for $99 + car charger , case.. and tax came to $135. Internet discount $100 off + NE2 $100 off again.
I know about those people who find devices like these (challenging). People like that are better off with Androids... or gag.. iphones.

MT4G Out of stock everywhere :(

I'm having the worst luck. My wife and I ordered 2 brand new mytouch4g's last saturday through tmo customer loyalty for a total of 400 bucks (200each) for both phones. They didnt send the EIP acceptance until tuesday after i called them. I accepted they charged my card and I got a text message saying my order went to fulfillment Nov 12th. Well yesterday I called and they told me that the phone is backordered. wtf...! i already sold my current phones and now they don't even have an ETA of when the phones would be available. This is pretty lame.

Whoew!!!..really feel bad for you. But its a good thing,now that alot of people have mytouch 4g that means that this phone will be light up. All the dev team will be supporting this phone like crazy.

Man, never sell your phone until you have the new ones in hand, and then don't sell them until you had the new ones a few days and checked out any bugs. It's called "common sense" and it's not taught in schools anymore! I ordered mine on Sunday when the new plans came out, they shipped Monday and are arriving today. I'd like to get my Evos on ebay, but waiting for 1-30 days until they are checked out. I have 30 days to return/exchange them and cancel the contract so I'm not porting my numbers over until everything checks out, and that includes the billing. It's so easy for them to promise a given price on the phone and then have your first bill be totally different than what's quoted. Then, and everyone hates to do this, you have to call your carrier and have a big fight. I'll keep the number they issued me and have my sprint number "forwarded" to this phone while I check it out. This plan will save a lot of potential headache.

This doth not bode well. I just ordered another MT4G too. Ugh. I hope they get their supply issues resolved.

man, that really sucks...hope you have at least something to use for the time being. If not, you can probably pick one up off craigslist for dirt cheap to at least have a phone until they come in.
I never sell my old phones...my wife hates it, but I have a good 7 foot stack of phone boxes in our bedroom closet, and I constantly buy phones I dont even use from craigslist myself
My daughters will go through them once in awhile and want to use one now and then...but sadly, they always want to go back to their iPhones.

I bought my first one through TMO on launch day. But, I just ordered one for my wife on Monday through WireFly and it just came today. WAY better price than buying through TMO. Call them and you can get a better deal than what's posted on their site.
The only thing about them is they bombard you with "additional" great offers while you are on the phone with them. Don't buy their insurance plan, it's crap. I bought it and found out it didn't cover water damage at all, so no dropping the phone in the crapper by accident. And it won't cover theft from an unoccupied building... so if I leave my phone at home, go somewhere, and get burglarized; it won't be covered. Worthless. I called and canceled the crappy insurance. It's not eligible for a TMO $6/mo protection plan when you buy it through WireFly, but if you bring it into the store and show them it's not damaged, they will give you a $4.75/mo plan that is the same as their $6/mo plan, but the difference is that it doesn't include equipment malfunction/failure. Only covers damage or theft.

yeah i havent found it in stock anywhere in my area...i really want one !

wow that does suck they had a lot of them right by my house in cali. i just returned my white one for a black one at the store and they did it no problem. but if u dont have a phone, just go to a tmobile store and tell them what happened and try to get a loaner phone. thats what i had to do for a day cause i sold my hd2 so i can upgrade to the mytouch 4g but it wasnt gonna come out for another day when i sold my phone.

I bought 2 MT4Gs on NewEgg.com
I found the MT4G in stock on NewEgg...i ordered 2 (1 black and 1 White) i was about to buy them on amazon for $119 and saw they wouldnt be delivered until Dec. 28th...so went over to trusty NewEgg.com and they had the same price ...Ordered on Monday the 15th and will be delivered tomorrow...hurry the might still have them ..btw i checked back on NewEgg the following day and the price was up to 149$
FOLLOW ME ON TWITTER @Face_Melter we can be MT4G friends...lol

The stores are usually stocked... I would try there. Also they will let u swap within the 14 days at a tmobile store too even if you got the original phone from the 800 number.

I bought my mytouch 4g from newegg when it came our for $79. Last i saw target mobil was selling it for 79 too so check it out. I just dont understand why people are buying this phone for 200.

I got mine from Radio shack for $149(2 year upgrade). Plus Radioshack gave me $130 for my HD2 with wall charger and $60 for my G1 and wall charger. So I paid nothing for my MT4G. And I bought a car charger for it.

You really don't understand the concept behind tiered pricing? Seriously?

I just ordered one for $267 and paid for 3 day shipping from retentions. Got tired of the Vibrant GPS not working. If I paid for 3 day shipping I better damn well get it. We'll see I guess.

I got my 4G Black, at costco, say would I be able to walk into t-mob and exchange for a red one? curious, as I still have a week before the 14 days are up.

it's those damn commercials that is making this phone sell like crazy

Considering selling?
My wife had problems with her MyTouch 4G speakerphone and had me get her a "simple" phone. I'm supposed to receive a brand new one from T-Mobile within the next week and I am thinking about selling it. What should I expect it should sell for? Thanks.

Since T-mobile is selling it for $450 new with buyers remorse, warranty, and option to add insurance, I would probably shoot for 400 if it's still unused.

I got mine on the day it was released, 10am my local tmobile store opened up and I was the 1st customer there. Paid like 320 for the MT4g cuz I wasn't in my full upgrade Price. but then I sold my HD2 for 350 so I thought hey Might as well buy the new phone... When I got home and the wife saw that I had the new MT4G she wanted one too. So I went back 2 days later and got the white one for her paid 200 for hers..
I think that all these 3rd party websites are ordering all these phones from tmo so that's why the main tmobile is backed ordered. But if you go to the stores they have them stocked up...

Buying the Infuse off contract.

So here is my dilemma.
I have been an HTC user for years. My Touch Pro 2 is hanging together by threads and needs replacing. Android is the way to go.
I have a Euro spec factory unlocked Iphone 4 on the way to me from my office in South Africa but I really do not like the Iphone form factor.
I considered the HTC Inspire but wanted to wait for the Infuse which seems to be getting great reviews.
I could probably sell the unlocked Iphone here in the USA for some decent money (they appear to be selling up above the $600 mark!!) and then use the proceeds to buy the Infuse off contract and still have some change so that when the Galaxy S2 comes out I could even sell the Infuse and upgrade to the GS2.
Does my logic make sense?
Any other suggestions?

I basically did the same thing except I had my iPhone for about a year before I sold it so it was fairly used. It was a 16GB black iPhone in fair condition and I jailbroke it before I sold it. I got $380 but I know some people who have gotten up to $450, just depends on the day.
I bought the Infuse off-contract from Amazon Wireless for $580, so it bascially cost me $200. But I'm really happy that when my contract ends next year I can either get off AT&T or sell my Infuse and upgrade to whatever the newest dual-core phone is.

I bought mine with 100 off for early upgrade. Trade in another phone, or sell for a little more and that brings it down more.

Your logic is great, except let me give you some info on what my situation was as it was very similar:
If you're in a good CraigsList city, which I see you're in SoCal... I'm in the bay area. Where there's a big Craigslist community like in CA, you can get pretty good deals on Infuse brand new. I bought several for $375-425 (started buying one for me and my friends wanted a couple so I ended up buying 4 total, haha).
I too came from iPhone 4. I had 2 unlocked iPhone 4s from the UK. The demand in the US for these is absolutely unbelievable. One I sold for $1100 2 weeks ago, and the other I sold for $1050 yesterday. Both sold on eBay. Keep in mind they were both less than 6 months old (one was a 6 week old white version, hence the higher price)... but there's a huge market out there for factory unlocked models. When the iPhone 4 came out, I flew to London, bought 4 and kept 2, sold the other 2 for $2000 each, so it paid off all four ... they're not cheap over there (about $920 USD), which is why they fetch so much resale.
I first tried the Inspire 4G. It's a good phone, but the killer for me was the battery, which to be blunt, sucked. I sold it and got the Infuse. I've only had the infuse for a week now, but the battery is much better than the Inspire 4G, and the overall performance is great. I did like the metalic build of the HTC, but I suppose I can't have it all, and the battery on the inspire was just a total deal killer.
Welcome to CA... hope my info helps Best of luck to you.

Many thanks for the replies.
Bella, thanks for the welcome, I am in SD.
I checked Craiglist here no Infuse adverts but there are quite a few on Ebay.
Another option would be to just pay the $199 to ATT for the Infuse and renew for another 2 years. Its part of a family plan so its unlikely we will change anytime soon.
I will put the Iphone which I think will be brand new in its sealed box, on Ebay. I assume when you sold yours on Ebay you did not allow for any returns?

Yeah SD is harder for CL because it's not that huge of a town. I used to live there.
The average price on Ebay for brand new infuse is at about $505... don't buy unlocked because it's a simple script to get your unlock code so you're paying for something that's free, hehe.
Regarding your iPhone.... yeah ebay on both mine. If you start them at $0.99 there's no insertion fee (hehehe, insertion fee, lol)... and it'll sell quick. They rape you on the final value fee, but it is what it is. I've been selling on eBay for years, and I never have offered returns (most ebay sellers don't)... it just turns you into a rental office if you offer people to try something then return it. lol

Thanks for the advise. I will hopefully the Iphone 4 in hand early next week.
I will then decide what route to take.

Hi Bella,
I just sent you a PM requesting some advice.
Thanks

I recently switched over from the Galaxy S i9000 which was a great phone, but this phone is just that much better. The Infuse phone feels smoother than my i9000 ever did with any custom rom or overclocked kernel, and to think we don't even have voodoo or any OC kernels on this device yet. It is definitely worth it. I upgraded my phone on the costco website for $129 which was a steal for this phone, best buy has the upgrade for 149.99. Glad i bought it, the screen is AMAZING.

I did an exception upgrade and paid $299, they added $100 for the early upgrade since it was less than six months out.

Amazon has the LG G3 for just $0.01 on a 2yr Contract!

Just wanted to notify everyone that the LG G3 on Amazon with a 2yr contract from AT&T is just $0.01 compared to $199.99 on AT&T's website.
Metallic Black Version: http://www.amazon.com/LG-G3-Metallic-Black-32GB/dp/B00L9OVC94/ref=sr_1_3?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1415732119&sr=1-3
Silk White Version:http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00L9OVUHI/ref=amb_link_424996242_1?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=hero-quick-promo&pf_rd_r=0W67YGFRQT5GPD02B57Q&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_p=1924776362&pf_rd_i=B00L9OVC94
FYI: This is through Amazon for the $0.01 device and through AT&T for the phone service. This is the on-contract price, not off-contract.

Dang - that is a great price! I thought $99 was a great price when I bought it, but it is totally worth the $0.01 price. For most people, that puts the total expense right in line with the Oneplus One. However, I think the G3 is superior to the OPO in everyway except battery life. That issue is easily solved by getting a 2nd battery for the G3 (the OPO doesn't have a removable battery).
On AT&T for example, you get a $15/mo discount for bringing your own phone. That's $360 over a two year period of time. If you only pay $0.01 for the phone, then your "cost" is $360.01. The OPO is about $380 shipped, which is actually more than the G3 total cost after two years.

Actually you don't bring your own phone. Amazon sends it to you but AT&T is the one still providing the device, it's just Amazon's pricing.

I was simply comparing the overall cost of the G3 vs the OPO. You obviously won't get the BYOD discount with the on-contract G3........

Oh, I see what you meant. Never mind then.

I think you can get your $50 back because of their low price guarantee.

I just pulled the trigger on this deal, to hard to pass up. I'm coming from a Galaxy Note 2 that still runs great was going to update to the note 4 until I saw that they don't think they're going to be able to root it or unlock it and I can't have that

Just an FYI amazon will make you switch to a currently offered plan. You can't keep old plans. If you already have mobile share or an up to date plan then this is a great deal.
However, the G3 will also be free on contract (some places a penny, some a dollar, but you get the point) at Best Buy, Costco, RadioShack, and probably just about every other reseller on black friday, most of the big guys like best buy will probably have it all weekend.
So if you want to do anything special with a plan you can get it then too, and they can keep you on outdated plans.

Actually is a$25/mo discount on 15gb plan. It's cheaper to get on NEXT pricing vs contract because of the $40 upgrade fee. $25 x 24mo is $600 +.99c contract +$40upgrade fee = 641.
Next is the $580 over installments plus tax

tired of spending a fortune for phones.

Saw T-Mobile was promoting the g5 for 499.99 with Bill credits lowering the price to 199.99. I'm assuming this is a really good deal even though the g5 wasn't well received? Am I going to go have any regrets?

Bought mine in May. No regrets

Came yesterday. Got the nougat update going as soon as a I activated it. Battery seems great already and it flys

I can't imagine a better brand new phone for 199. Good choice!

This phone is pretty solid. There are a few hangups. Non the less for $200 it's steal

I got mine about four months ago before any bill credit deal. First one was stolen. Second one has a cracked screen that I rode out for a month because it still worked. All in all if I were to use insurance on that one too I'd be paying about 900 for a phone that is more 199. That is insane to me lol. I spent my money this month on a used Nexus 6P instead of an insurance replacement just out of principal of this haha, though I'm starting to regret it because I can't get wifi calling working and the G5 is definitely faster.
