$550 plus tax for US sensation

When was the last time a phone was this high? It will probably be like 575 after taxes... after watching all of the videos.. it doesn't seem worth the price of a computer. This is like crime. I always buy my phones out right because I don't like to wait for contract renewals but another 75? I bet if they added more internal memory and a better video camera and screen it would be like 800 huh? Lol maybe I need to back off on being a phone fanatic lol

RT @TMobile: We had a few people ask: The retail price (non-contract) for the @HTC Sensation 4G will be $549.99 + applicable tax. http://goo.gl/54zvj

The Nexus One was $529.. so not much has changed with pricing when it comes to HTC smartphones.

That was still Google branded but the majority of HTC US phones are like 500. I dunno.. I ain't flipping out but if the price is gonna continue to go up, they can be more solid with their product functionality

Amazon lists the Atrix for $599, and the Droid X for $559. I agree it's way too much. Just saying...

Non-contract is sim free?

Tmobile non contract is meaning buying out right.. no half price off

For whatever reason I had $499 on my mind...
$549 plus tax in LA @9.75% equals $602 and some change...
At this price point, I'm reconsidering purchasing this phone now as I'm pretty happy with the MyTouch 4G running Virtuous Fusion 1.1.2.
There's always Craigslist.

That's presently irrelevant in the US, because it hasn't been released in the US. I bet when it is released here, it's under $600.

I paid $650 for my GS2 with tax.

My Incredible was 550 six months after release. This doesn't seem outrageous.

Dunno why you're complaining, you guys have it cheap. In europe the average new phone, no contract costs $700-$800 usd. Currently the HTC sensation costs ~430pounds ($700usd) in the uk. The galaxy s ii also costs ~430pounds in europe and $800 aud in australia. The atrix is even more expensive, costing 500pounds ($850usd).

Well I'm thinking y'all probably get paid more over in the uk or something. Where is the logic of the phones being like 100 to 200 dollars more? That's crazy and yeah we complain if HTC isn't giving it their all and not producing a better than good product for almost 600 dollars.

I'd pay that kind of money for the phone if:
1) It comes with almost no flaws/bugs
2) Its a Pentaband GSM/HSDPA Phone
2) I have full control over it (rooting)
3) I get at least 5 years of guranteed timely updates
Last I bought a Asus laptop for this much

True, but what the warranty covers wouldn't apply to me anyways, so it didn't matter.

Guess phones are going up now. When I bought my hd2 full price last year from tmo us it was like $450
R.I.P hd2 hello Evo 3d

I'm right there with you man. I was hoping for a lower price. $50 would have been acceptable, well for me at least

Ack 71 shipped all together. Now i have three wireless chargers

Ordered mine!!! Would have liked a lower price, but I bought it anyway.

PureMobile (Canadian mobile accessories store) tweeted today that they're expecting the orbs to be in stock in March. I'm guessing Google Play Canada will be getting their stock the same time if not sooner.
I just hope that the magnets will be strong enough the hold the phone with a thin case in place. I'm rocking a diztronic TPU and just ordered the hybrid fusion

Ditto! I have the Vu on order, now this coming!! *Sigh*

I really wish I could afford this right now... time to go get a job

Does anyone know if this will work with if my N4 has a Poetic slim case on?

Please excuse my ignorance - how is this more convenient than a regular charger? You still need to plug in the orb to the wall socket when you want to charge the phone, don't you? So isn't the orb really just a fancy replacement of the micro usb plug, without any real added value?

What tax? Have you ever ordered from ebay? And you get one year warranty from samsung europe not a problem

In Croatia if you order anything that costs more than 160 kn- 22€ (cumulative with shipping) you will pay at least 25% pdv on that price. Sometimes you have to pay tax/customs and then 25% on that. And yes I buy from ebay all the time.

Where are you from?

Hello. Well I'm new one here. So i can't post link ... I didn't know that S4 has eye scroll? Samsung didn't mention this on unpacked event?
I found YT video of this name - Kæmpe gennemgang af Samsung Galaxy S4 - and on 02:28 i see eye scroll. I all up for S4
I'm from Zadar

@nikola
It's not eye scroll its gesture but it's something like that. There are few other tricks...
@Underground
Don't know where you live but this is for Cro...
750€ version will be for Octa too but for now t.com and vipnet will get Snapdragon.
9500 only websites + njuskalo
BTW. We can wait 1.7 when we are entering in EU and get Octa version for 500€ +2 year warranty )
T.com , Vipnet are just too expensive they know that they can earn from this i đubrad has big prices...

As I said confirmed by Vipnet. Snapdrqgon is coming to operators. Websites and njuskalo could have few Octas..
As for 500€ model is based on 2,3 after he comes out in Cro or after 1.7 when we enter to eu..

A new battery: the difference

I got 2 sgs4g as soon as they came out and just ordered a new battery from amazon for ten bux, radio shack will charge you fifty. The difference is just unbelievable. its a brand new sgs4g. No random reboots. My battery lasts a day on GB. Around 20hrs on ICS. Maybe more on jb but I can see now that a lot of sod issues could be the battery actually. A lot of battery drain... it would no longer be a problem if ppl would get a new battery. Its so worth it

Can you use eBay in VN, and buy from a Chinese vendor? Wouldn't that help reduce the shipping cost since China is closer to VN?
