The AT&T One X now shows up for pre-order at AmazonWireless's page at $149!
Have fun drooling!
New contracts only, right? I think upgrades were $250?

Damn! I jumped the gun early today and pre-ordered through Radio Shack.
Anyone know if Amazon Wireless taxes cells phones shipped to California? I know they don't tax anything else.
Has anyone tried to get a price match in one of the at&t stores for the $149 instead of $199. Also I am a premier member will they charge activation fee if ordered through amazon.

Does anybody know when they actually ship you the phone? And what shipping options there are? Free 2 day shipping?

Probably the phone is already selling out on initial quantities... try att or elsewhere.
Sent from my SGH-I777 using XDA
I would assume it says backordered because they dont actually have them in stock as of yet
So, what's the deal with keeping your existing your unlimited data plan? When I try to purchase through AmazonWireless, it asks me to pick a new data plan as well as a new texting plan (niether of which is the one that I'm on now)? Anybody know? (I think I saw something about it in another thread, but I can't find it now).
Thanks,
Billy
I want to preorder thru amazon, but the only problem is lets say your phone has the yellow screen you would have to mail it back off to amazon to get a replacement thus making the preorder worthless, but the with the data dilemma you may to call them about it
Best buy so far is the only place not advertising it. I have an employee holding a white one for me and showing her the radio shack ad she reduced it down to 149 for me

Sometimes Amazon is amazing . There is a possibility that the phone may arrive before the expected delivery date, AND
in CA the state tax on retail (~9% on $579) is a deal killer for me.
Have waited this long , might as well wait 3 more days to save on the tax

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.

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?

Even if Amazon doesn't charge tax they are currently selling the Infuse for $125 for brand new Att customers (which is more expensive than this deal)...

Indeed!
Amazon's Upgrade/New Line price was 89 last week, and then they upped it.
I wonder whether someone local (AT&T Corporate store or Best Buy) would price match the Target price, so I can take care of my convoluted account merge/split at the same time, AND get this great price.
Now I only have to decide whether to pull the trigger or await the Samsung SGS2 (AT&T Attain) (assuming it EVER shows up!)
IMMA GO ALL NERD ON YOU ALL!
$50.00X0.08=$4.00+$50.00=$54.00...
so you would be paying anywhere from 54 to 60 bucks at the most...

If you buy it through Target they don't have an option to keep your unlimited data. Is there anyway you can order online and then when you get the phone in the mail call ATT customer service to make sure they keep your unlimited while activating it for the first time?
Has anyone already done this w/ when ordering through Amazon? (since they don't give you the option to keep unlimited either...)
Good question ugh never thought i'd say this but glad I don't have a unlimited data plan lol

You can go back to BB and get refunded the difference within 30 days, and they won't take any of those activation fees into account. I did this and got back $50 from BB when Costco had it for $50 off.

Hey guys, I got 2 of these. I live in FL, I ended up paying 105 for both in upgrade.
I rooted mine and left the wifey's stock. Its a beautiful beast. And it has $25.00 from the samsung store. Im downloading the dark knight and matrix. Well worth it.
Does anyone know what the upgrade price at best buy will be? I want to know if I should cancel my preorder if it above $150 and go somewhere else. Thanks

i'm friends with several at the mobile department, if it can be done they'll do it. if not, i'll wait until they have it in stock, return mine to at&t, and buy it there. i like black tie that much...although i've yet to use it.
I'm wondering if they'll price match radio shack at $49.99. I'm hoping they will of course. I used to work at Best Buy, so I hopefully may be able to convince a BB Mobile employee to price match.

I also went to a best buy in stl and I ask the best buy employee, so when's the htc one x coming out?! I think it's going to be another month atleast. And that was Sunday he said this. Lol the store I went into was a best buy mobile store ONLY! But didn't know they would price match or I would of gone with them.
Still no word on the BB price? They usually are the cheapest around. I guess either way I could price match to $150, but I'd be surprised if they didn't already beat it.
I believe from when I did my pre order that their price is 200 for a upgrade. It should be the same price as ATT maybe as low as 150.00.
I went with them as I signed up for that free 50 dollar gift card with a upgrade earlier this year so that on top of the fifty I used to pre order and some other gift cards means I will be paying about 75 for it.
As for the info I would wager that they will send out a official email around Friday saying it will be ready for pick up on Sunday. That is what happened with my Galaxy Note I had on pre order.

Argh!!! I had to go through the Verizon help center agent, and she did try to help me by referring me to Best Buy and using their online purchasing system. I live 40 miles north of Tulsa and "running into the local cellphone store" is not on the bucket list.
guess I will have to be glad that all of the upgrade fees were revoked, Best Buy gave me a value card towards future purchase.... Didn't match your deal, but better than going online at Verizon.

I think all the invites are only for 64GB right now. I can't remember if I was allowed to choose when ordering not like anyone would get 16GB though I do love that white cover.
I just got mine in Vancouver. Ordered on July 31st, shipped Aug 1st, and arrived on Aug 5th. Missed delivery so I just picked it up yesteday. Shipping to Canada only allowed express shipping option by DHL and that added $27.99USD on top of the $350USD. Exchange rate at 1.118 on my credit card ended up charging me $422.97CAD. Duties and taxes was $54.03CAD which you have to pay on delivery or you can pay online after it comes out of customs and before it gets to you. I could have shipped it to Point Roberts or Blaine to avoid the taxes and customs fees and US shipping only has regular shipping option for $14.99USD. I didn't have time to go down on a weekend to pick it up so I didn't bother.

Thanks man! I am about to buy an invite off of someone in Vancouver for $30. I've got a mailbox over in Blaine that I will probably just use. Not worth those extra charges to get it shipped to me
You're paying for an invite?
Transmitted via Bacon
Final price after duties and delivery and exchange rate was $490. Not such a great deal after all.
Why is it not a great deal? I spent $477 total on this phone and if I bought an unlocked HTC m8 it would have been $700+$84 tax or the S5 at 730+$88 tax. I saved over $300 already. If you sign up for a 2 year contract with the big 3 in Canada, they'll give you an S5 for $100, but lock you into a 80/month plan.
That's right guys. I also ended up paying $490 CAD here in Winnipeg. This phone is such a great deal for us Canadians. 13% Tax here really hurts local buyers.
