Instant rebates mostly and Sprint stores usually won't give as good a deal for accessories.

I had no problem with them when I pre-ordered my Evo 4G, picked it up on launch day with no fuss. I'm not a fan of BB in general, but the instant rebate and the early pre-order date won me over the first time. Why not again? Plus, if they're still offering the $50 trade-in credit for my Evo 4G, that's a lot of reasons to walk through their doors.
Doent this concern the LTE version of the phone?
So it is the One-xl
Different forum for that.
So moving now
I'm going to move this thread as its not concerned with the HTC One XL. If the admins choose a combined solution, then we can move these back here at a later date. There are enough hardware and software differences that I believe this phone will have its own fora.
Better insurance

I like to order from bestbuy mobile because their insurance, although $2 more then Sprint, theres no copay if u ef up the phone. $100 copay through sprints insurion service. Also they have the buyback program which 22months from now, you sell it back and have enough for the next upgrade.Plus I get the upgrade through my number, they switch to my number right away. SPRINT makes u wait 30 days.
Exactly.

I went to the link and it says to submit your email to be notified when it's available. So am I missing something? Cause if I can pre order today in store I may end up doing that. But sprint's site does say pre order and get it before others get a glimpse.

Just wondering how much everyone paid for their Sensation 4G in the end, and how they went about getting the deal that they got.
I am currently an EM+ customer and I called in and they basically told me that they couldn't do anything for me (I said that I was interested in signing a two-year contract). The girl just referred me to the website saying that it was 250 and 50 rebate. I mentioned the $150 walmart price and she says "Yeah I think CostCo has it for like $90 too". bummer.
Please see the thread that talks about Releasing for Tmobile. I know it's big, but a lot of it is discussing peoples deals that they got. There's really no reason to start a new thread for it. I know you know about the thread too because you've posted in it.
submitted to MOD for lock
Wouldn't it be better to have a thread specifically for this information? I don't understand how it's a bad idea. Kind of lame if this gets locked. This is general discussion.
Yeah, I just searched several different phrases and didn't find my answer either. Leave this thread alone.
because it's already covered extensively in that other thread. why make a new one to just rehash what's in another. I'd understand if it was an issue with the phone that should deserve it's on post, but you're just wanting to know what others paid for for their phones & how much *****ing/politely asking/manipulating the system they did.
Right, which will be useful information for me and hopefully many others. That other post does not state that it's about what people paid or anything. But, now you're making this thread useless with your unhelpful posts.

New contract? Renewal?
Paid just taxes on 249 (that is around $20), and got it on 2 year contract extension. Had to talk with 4 CS reps, before getting this.
Some person will get a better deal than others. I think its depend to whom you are negotiate to.
But the worry point is, some one will not satisfied with others and will complain to their carrier/supplier and in the end all will not get a good benefit due to many complain others get good deal than yours..something like starting a "war" for the good deal..lol..
That's why its better to keep to your self on a good deal. So that the war will not start..lol

Yes people do. I've actually wanted to get a second one for a while.
I am not amused by your phones performance
New ones in the box seem to go for around 300 on ebay still.
So i'll sell mine for $250 shipped. $475 for the pair. They are att&t. But also one of the easiest phones ever to unlock. I'm glad to do it for anyone that wants it done before shipping. At the moment they've never been out the box.

Not sure how to respond. Because your absolutely correct. No one has any reason to trust me what so ever. And theres no way to change that. But my options are this or ebay. They have lost tons of value as it is because of the length of time I've had them. I'm sure I could get 500 on ebay, but by the time I pay their fee and paypal s fee for the money transfer and the shipping cost I might have 425 left. If you've sold on ebay then u know. And we all know what they cost so the thought of selling a brand new galaxy s for $212.50 seemed crazy. Wasn't sure what to do. I dont need the money but they'll be worth nothing if I continue to hold on to them. Its ok if u dont trust me.

Just bought a second one for my wife. I'll keep these until the Galaxy Note has been out for a month or two. Loving that 5.3 inch SAMOLED. No reason to go to the SGS2 that I can see. It is awesome, but not that much better than the Captivate.

Sure there is. I havnt sold in a couple years(another reason why I shy away, so much has changed) but i remember paying an extra .25 just to have a pic posted during search. Extra charges if you use alotta pictures. And the charge just to post, and the extra if you sell your item. Things of that sort. My accounts havnt been activated in a while. I went back to paypal the other day just to update that accout. New bank and such. Because i bought a few accesories for the captivate I use now. If the person thats interested perhaps lives in southern VA or northern NC maybe we could meet. I live on the line midway (Halifax County, VA) Or if there is someone you really trust on the forum I could send the item to the first. And when they get it they can let you know. Then I could recieve my payment. Of course it would have to be someone of high standing. I would hate to get ripped off myself. Just know I'm not here to scam anyone. I could take pics of the items if it helps. At least you'd know I actually have them. Beside a printout of this post so you know i didnt just copy a picture from the web. I'm trying here guys. I'm an honest person. I dont care if I sell them now. I guess now I'm just trying to build a little trust.

ive been selling bnib captivates in the marketplace for around 225 each. cheaper if bought in multiples..
For everyone who is preordering anyway, might as well do so through Target Mobile or Radioshack and save $50.
Proof for Target Mobile:

Okay, so dumb question regarding preorders (only phone I ever preordered was an iPhone for the wife)
is it possible to do a store pickup for these preorders? I'd love to save an extra $50, but all my parcel carriers require a signature, and given the fact that we actually work for a living, no one is ever home to sign.

I'll just pay the 159 and use the store credit for accessories and such when it comes out. hopefully RadioShack carries all the HTC accessories when they are released.
We can pre order from radioshack online right? And can I ask them to ship it to my house?
If you can preorder it online, I don't see where. I'd love to do that though... have it shipped to my work from either RadioShack or Target..

It may just be at stores... As long as it comes to my home it doesn't matter to me.
So other than the issues with outright returns, do you give anything else up buying from a non-corporate store? I've only ever bought from the ATT store so don't want to get surprised by something if I buy one of these from Radio Shack.
So I purchased my One X on launch day at best buy (May 6th) and have premier silver so I have a 45 day return period.
I was emailed a rewardzone mobile deal today for a free $100 gc (rewardzone points) for any cell phone purchase and 24 mo agreement including the one x.
I will be going to bestbuy and getting the deal or its getting returned and repurchased. Looks like white is out of stock , but grey is still in stock if anyone is interested. Looks to be online only deal.

Just a heads up , I went to the bestbuy store and they wouldnt do a thing for me. They told me since its online only I would have to call in and see what they can do. I will try that and let you know what happens. Worst case I return it and reorder online. Im leading towards that anyways since I have a dead pixel.
I was directed to call rewardzone directly, through 1888bestbuy. They said I could get the $100, but I would need to return my phone and get it from reward zone directly.

Best buy was the only place you could find this phone in Winnipeg, Manitoba (Canada).. they seem to always have a few extra phones that are in high demand.. the thing is, it usually takes a little while for them to help you out... but at least I got my HOX on release day. the rogers store didn't even have any
All Stores should be getting back in stock this week. That's a sweet RZ deal.

What did you have to tell them to get hooked up?
All I told them was I received the deal in my email for the 100 dollar giftcard w/ any cell phone purchase (which i did less than 30 days ago) asked him what my options were , return it or if there was something he could do.
I just tried this, and they were snippy with me. They said that I'd have to return the phone. I mentioned that I "had a friend" who was just given the credit, and the rep said "I can neither confirm nor deny that." Sounded like a canned speech.

He will be losing more than a little bit. After eBay, PayPal fees and shipping he will be losing about $120. Unless of course he is past his return widow then he has no choice but to sell it.

Don't have access to the Market board yet, but Im looking to trade my One X and an iPhone 4 for an S3, or sell them to buy the S3.
sorry been at work. att rep told me 15% restocking fee as did the manager. weather it is opened or not. sorry for placing this in the wrong place. yes this is legit. 15% of 594 $89 I would rather help a fellow here who wants one. then take it back to the store. figure i would sell it here. and not loose ( give att) about 90$.
My nephew did not graduate like he told me he was going to. so no phone for him. he can keep his moto razor flip phone. lol as far as batch, i dont know how do i check?
sorry man this is all true. not gonna return to att store, nephew let me down. paid full price 549$ plus tax.
ok so after reading the receipt... i had 30 days... june 6th was that date... so now i either stick with it or sell it. i was looking forward to a GS3. but maybe this phone will do.
Coming from a evo I must say the build quality on the hox has improved greatly.
The camera is fantastic, even my 7 year old can take some impressive shots.
Rooting/unlocking boot loader is a walk in the park with the AIO tools, Id say if your looking to upgrade anyways keep the hox and rub that phone in your nephews face every chance you get.
i like that. just every day have it sit there and as he does my yard work just use it for like pandora for my out door system... lol put very good use to it. thats funny
I posted in your marketplace thread. I'm interested
