[Q] How much did you pay for your Fuze?

I'm thinking of jumping on the wagon and was wondering if you guys would kindly share how much you paid for your Fuze, I have been asking several stores and even with premier account the price is 299.99 after rebate with 2yr contract (plus some upgrade fee and of course sales tax) in total would be close to 400.
Please let me know if and how you could get it for less than what I was quoted for. And is there any official statements from AT&T that lists benefits of having premier account?
Thanks

I was 269 out the door with a 50 mail in rebate i think he messed up (I am not premier that I know of)
http://mangledpoly.com/fuzePrice.jpg

i started a new 2 year contract, was leaving tmo for att.
its 369.99 if you get it bundled with the car charger, case, bluetooth headset, and maybe some more trinkets i don't remember.
then its 349.99 if you leave all that off.
then -50 with the text or data or something like that rebates...

he definitely messed up...but good for you though~
also, i got it for ~440 aftertax before mail-in rebate. I was only able to get an "early upgrade" with $75 off retail price. Manager was nice enough to waive the $18 upgrade fee for me though. Every bit counts

Bah. Lucky dude who's rep marked it down $100. Where do you live? lol
I was unlucky =/ tax was a lil over 8%!!! :O
Came out to $391 before rebate T.T I'm a return it and see if I can buy it from a city that has less tax.

Baught it online @ Premier for $388 Including $18 upgrade fee..I also think tax came around to $24.
Shipping was Fedex 2day for free. Doubt I will get it this week though.

really!? gas is going to cost you more than that tax difference, unless you live near border of WA and OR, then i'd see a reason to do that.

Mine was $367 shipped from AT&T Premier site. There was no upgrade fee, and then I have the $50 rebate to add to it. Bought it this morning, it shipped out this afternoon - comes in on Thursday!! I waited over 2 months to upgrade my phone as I wanted this, or the Sony X1. I couldn't wait any longer, so I gave into this phone. I can't wait.

I think a ~1-1.5% difference would make me drive. Besides, if it's in the way to work, it doesn't matter right?

Mine was $259.99 before the $50.00 MIR. I went into a corporate store in Kansas City Area, and was told they were discounting it $100.00. I asked why and was told: "I am not sure, perhaps revenue or longevity". I didn't ask any more questions and certainly didn't want them to reconsider.

AT&T Authorized Dealer...
Hey all,
I stopped by on Monday afternoon at an AT&T authorized dealer in Pembroke Pines, FL (South Florida). They had the only gotten in one fuze that afternoon which they sold me.
They charged me $300 plus tax, so it was $318 total, plus the $50 rebate when I send it in.
Not quite as good as $269 before rebate, but I didn't want to say otherwise either when they quoted me that price.

mine came out to 387 after taxes and now i gotta mail off the $50 rebate

I paid 349.99 + 24.15 tax = 374.14 - 50.00 rebate = 324.14
I want the 100.00 discount some of you got. I wonder if I call and complain if they will credit me? I love complaining.

just ordered mine about 2hrs ago off the at&t wireless website.
$374.49 w/ 2yr agreement ( contract renewal )
kept my unlimited data plan and unlimited txt.

Yep ordered it about 6pm est. Hopefully it gets here friday. I guess that's dependent on when it's shipped also.

I just re-uped my account and purchased the Fuze for $299 online befor rebate. Total came to $327. I'm not really worried about the rebate at this point. Just received the tracking info and it will be here Thursday the 13th.

Great price for the G2X at Costco !!!

Hey guys, the G2X is now here, and guess what - I just got mine today from Costco.
The price was $149 after $50 mail-in rebate. For an upgrade. And it came with everything that comes from t-mo, but it also came with an extra car charger, leather pouch, and a bluetooth device. It was a great surprise for me, and if you are waiting for the right moment to get the G2X - now would be a good time.
Go to your local costco and get that badboy!

Dang and i ordered it the day it came out. Why didnt i wait lol. Jk.
I cant wait till mine comes in.

If you want to get it off contract - its the same price in costco as it is in T-Mobile store. Your best bet is to go and look for it in craigslist, as they do have good deals sometimes. But if its over 500 - dont buy it, just get a new one for a few more bucks, and you will know that if something happens - you can return.

Wow, they list it as $399 retail but no option to purchase online for retail...

I knew I should of waited to go to costco.. stupid impulse buy..

I went to tmobile to buy one. They wouldnt sell one to me off conrract at all and tried to make me upgrade my plan. So i just ordered one off contract at amazon wireless for 509. If tmobile refuses to take my money i guess amazon isnt. But it kinda pissed me off rmob wouldnt sell it. Guess they really are changing into att.

You could have upgraded with a 2 year contract, then just paid the ETF and you'd still have it cheaper ~$400 ...
Hope that helps...

I called Costco yesterday and the guy said that they won't be getting the phone for a couple of weeks! I guess he doesn't know what he's talking about.
oh and btw, costco will not sell the phone off contract. your better off just getting it at tmo

Got mine yesterday at a T-Mo store.
They discounted the phone to $450 and gave me $95 in accessories for $65.
$515 plus tax.
Even More Plus, no sweat.

I am a Costco Manager so hopefully I can shed some truths.
1. Wireless advocate our subcontract company (owned by CarToys WA) is stocking the g2x. Stores should have received an initial shipment of 5 phones yesterday and another 5 today. If they claim they dont have phone, ask them to check stock. I bet its in receiving dock area.
2. The phone is available to non-contract customers for $399.99. The issue is that the employees do not get a commission for non contract sales. So many times they will refuse to sell full price for a couple weeks so they can get there spiffs. HOWEVER Costco is customers are always first. If you demand, go find an acutual Costco manager and have them assist you with Kiosk personal. That brings me to point 3.
3. Be prepared if in a state that has sales tax to pay tax on full $399.99 This is our policy unless you buy online at Costco.com. But you can use this to your advatage if buying full price and they refuse. Say well than how come upgrade customers have to pay tax on full price. Remind them you know that they are required by Costco to sell Tmobile phones at full price. No other brands in Costco Cell kiosk are sold to non contract. Only Tmobile and that is why the full tax issue. You just need to push and you can get it full price.
4. Best thing is you are protected for 90 days with your phone. You can return, exchange phone for any reason. I use my first phone as a test phone. I test the hell out of it and return for keeper phone before the 90 days is out. Plus if a better phone comes out I get that. Love the 90 days!
Hope this helps!

I was at the Costco in Texas and they had the dummy Sensation behind the counter. He said they would be carrying them but he did not know when they were going to get them in stock.

Thank you for the info! Definitely happy I got my phone from costco

What are the benefits of getting it from Costco as opposed to $100 cheaper from http://www.letstalk.com/htc-sensation-4g-t-mobile ? I'm thinking about going to costco tomorrow but want to make sure the benefits are worth the extra $100.

I bought 2 on Saturday at the Costco in Austin, TX (north location). Pulled the trigger when they were offering the same Father's Day data deal as the Tmo stores ($10/mo off). Paid $30 more per phone than other places ($180 vs $150), but felt the 90 day return/exchange policy was worth it considering the issues some people are having.
That said, the 2 we got are working perfect.
Costco also gives you a cheap holster, car charger, and a Plantronics Explorer 200 bluetooth headset for free.

Costco gives you 90 days to return the phone. They also provide a bluetooth earpiece along with a case and a car charger. Also, I have seen them give refunds if the price drops within the first 30 days of the phone.
HTH

My local Costco is showing this phone at $249 for an upgrade. Did you do new contracts for your price?
What's to stop me from just cancelling my line and starting a new account for a "new contract" price?

[Q] Any other Wind Canada users planning on importing the T-mo Sensation?

Hi,
Wondering if there are any other members out there who are importing the T-mobile Sensation 4G into Canada?
Maybe we can share our experiences and figure out the best options.
The device will have to be sim unlocked, thus far there has been only one confirmed site to have working unlock codes.
http://www.unlock-network.com/
Lowest price online is $579.50, but still in pre-order state. I am assuming that will change on the official release date of 06/15
http://negrielectronics.com/htc-sensation-4g-t-mobile-unlocked.html
I have never dealt with them, just found it doing some searching. Any info on this company?

I bought one on Ebay for $590. Hopefully I will receive it by Friday.

Congrats!
Was it unlocked for $590
If so that seems like a very reasonable price.
How much was the shipping?

Unfortunately it wasn't unlocked but I will definitely try the unlocking site you provided since It seems to have worked for one individual.
Shipping was $19 for USPS priority mail, so I paid a total of $609 USD
Hopefully the strike wont affect my package.

goin' to florida months end and will pick one up there and ask them to unlock it seeing that i'm canadian (may work)!! then try it on wind and see how it goes...

if anyone finds a good deal that ships to Canada pls let us know too

and btw if anybody has tried any of those sites, would u pls tell how much it cost u?

I have a US social security number as I went to college in California. I will try to get it on contract and cancel after 15 days. With ETF it will be close to $400.

Got mine from omega cellular (i. Think thats the name) in Edmonton. Paid 650 i beleive plus $10 overnight fedex. Came unlocked. Works perfect on wind.
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA App

any updates on any of those unlocking websites?
which ones cheaper/faster/etc?

So a quick update on my end.
I ordered the phone off expansys.ca on Friday night.
Not the cheapest of sites, but felt it was worth it in case of issues and I need to do returns/exchanges.
With HST it came to ~$671 (I also paid for express shipping)
Its supposed to come unlocked.
Here is the link... expansys.ca
if you do decide to order from them, the only other tip is coupon code LSJUNE10 will get you 10 bucks off (I assume it expires at the end of june?)
Will update once I get it

i ordered mine off tmobile, which means that i will have it LOCKED on tmobile.
still looking around to find a way to unlock it

If you're in Vancouver, you can buy it from CellworldCo for $529 + tax unlocked! That is cheaper than the T-mobile price of $550 + $20 for unlocking.
They ship elsewhere in Canada for $30.

I bought mine at pacific mall $600 no tax with free car charger. its sim free unlock. There is another sttore at pacific mall that sells it for $600 tax free with free car charger, screen protector and case but they were out of stock.

Ahhh good to know there are still nice deals to be had at Pacific Mall... Haven't been there in years

So my sensation order with expansys is not going so well. After jumping through hoops today to get the alternative shipping address cleared they said the bank won't authorize the charge?
So I think I am going to cancel this order and give cellworldco a try unless there are better deals out there?
Too bad I'm not heading to Toronto anytime soon or I'd give pacific mall a shot, does anyone know if those tiny stores have a website?

Just saw this posted on a deal site:

I got my i337 at a Fry's here in Dallas yesterday. I paid $150 + tax, which came out to ~$162. No oddball rebates required. It was posted on the display unit cards that Fry's charges a $7 fee if you need a sim card as well, but I already had a lte microsim from my One X, so I just used that. The Fry's guys informed me that they have a 14 day return policy, and, interestingly enough, they do not charge a restocking fee.
One odd requirement that Fry's has, though, is that I had to have a credit card, not just a debit card, that they made an imprint of before they'd allow me to buy the phone.
