Screwed by tmobike...

I bought my phone 30 days ago for $258, then today the G2 is FREE to new customers like me!?!? I called tmobile and asked for a concession and they basically told me tuff bananas ... wow I've been a customer for less than a month and I feel raped....

What does the g2 promotion have to do with this phone?

tmobike?

T-Mobile did not screw you. tmobike did. Call them up and ask for a free phone of your choice.

Prices always change. Give it a rest. Next time buy from tmobile, not tmobike. Their prices are better.

This comment.

Really!?!?
The exchange/return period is only 14 days if u activated in the store and 20 days over the phone or web....thats like going to wal-mart on black friday cause the tv u bought 31 days ago is on sale for 300 dollars cheaper...ur outside the return/exchange timeline....prices are always subject to change.....and of course if you get the phone when it first comes out ur gonna pay more the phone is always cheaper a month or two after release...
Everybody knows ur gonna get good deals on everything on black friday and cyber monday...so u kinda raped urself buddy

You screwed yourself, I got my 2 MT4G's for 30 bucks a piece with new contracts from T-Mobile a month ago by negotiating with them. It is not T-Mobile's responsibility to make you not an idiot.

Gonna have to agree with everyone here.
You bent over and they stuck it in... what do you expect them to do?

No vaseline... Lol

Better question is - where did you see the free G2 offer?

things get cheaper the longer their out :/ you bought it when it was brand new... take it as a lesson learned

Lol. This should be closed. Cause if dude is checking in on his thread, he's not gotta post anything else.

And I originally bought the g2 and returned it for the mytouch 4g, but if i had known the g2 would be FREE 15 DAYS LATER, I would have kept the g2 if it was free....

And NO I DID NOT KNOW about free phone deals on cyber Monday, so everyone does NOT KNOW
If I had known I would have waited 15 measly days and got it FREE ....
Oh well I will just use it for 6 months and sell it for $400 on Craigs list. I will have exchanged it for a new on by then anyway as there is something between the screen and glass INSIDE PHONE as others have had same problem (see that thread). I'll have no trouble selling the new replacement for $400... heck I sold my iPhone 3g for $280 on craigslist....
The mt4g is a very nice phone and I'm enjoying it so Ill get $258 worth of use outta it in the mean time...
Aloha from a old man in beautiful Honolulu!!!

Well T-Mobile redeemed themselves in my eyes today via 611.. they gave me the PREFERRED DISCOUNTED ANDROID PLAN for unlimited data for $20 a month instead of $30, saving me $240 over life of my contract, which added up over the contract means i paid a whopping $18 for this awesome phone...
Now I Don't feel like I've been ripped outta $258 I paid for a phone i could have gotten FREE 15 DAYS LATER...
Aloha from beautiful Hawaii

Soooo your surprised? Every carrier gives better deals if you WAIT and not buy the phone when it first comes out. Everyone tends to buy the phone as soon as it drops. After a month they give deals to keep sales up and get more people in

So what exactly did you tell 611? I paid the full upgrade price for the phone as well ($258) and have yet to send in my $50 rebate. I was an existing T-Mo customer, by the way.

G2X Price Drops..?

Anyone else a bit taken back by the drastic price drops on the G2X? Not in a good way... I feel like the G2X could be the Vibrant all over again...

"The best technology never makes you think about it. It's just always brilliant."
- LG G2X Amazon Page
I'm sorry but with all the problems this phone has against it (similar to the Vibrant): Overheating, Shotty Network/Data Connections, Reboots, Lock-ups it seems like T-Mobile is readying for another magic trick. Granted, from what I've gathered reading these forums certain problems (mentioned above) could be completely unrelated. I personally feel that the poorly tinkered network/data connect software T-Mobile f***ed into this phone coupled with the completely separate battery issues are reeking havoc on the phones in a variety of ways.
Just a thought.
As a past Vibrant user (unfortunately) I felt compelled to report the similarities arising again... and all the Vibrant base got [after their woes] was a ****ty Froyo update and the Samsung Galaxy S 4G releasing swiftly via T-Mobile.
I really thought the Vibrant must've been a fluke for T-Mobile, as it was my first leap into the smartphone & Android markets (came from a flip phone, no txts or data). Seems I was wrong in my judgement for trusting them with a second/different product. Don't get me wrong... This phone is great (in theory) but so far it is dragging with bugs and this leaves me torn... =/

Your looking into it way way to much..... All phones on tmobile go on a quick sale... I bought a vibrant for 250 starting my contract in august.... a month later I buy one for a add a line for my brother for 50 bucks..... Its just the tmobile way... A droid x is still 200 in my area.... And a epic 4g is 150

Hm... perhaps. I'll think it over a nice bowl to cool the thoughts down a bit lol, 4:20 is coming a little early this morning I suppose.
I guess I just want a phone that works [ultimately]... Seems like the T-Mobile way is to release half-assed, beta quality products (at least in these eyes, I understand experiences vary). I went along thinking T-Mobile was a great company until I jumped on the Android bandwagon. Guess one can't get too butt-hurt over a company acting as soulless as they do sometimes... it's in their nature. =/

Coming from a vibrant I see where u are coming from. It was the biggest pile of a phone I have ever had. It was also my first android experience after being an avid bb user.
I do see some short comings in my g2x but I hope things don't get bad. I also despise Samsung as a company and blame the vibrant fails on them. It seems ateast to me they push a product hard and never support it. They did the same thing on a TV I bought. After there lack of support on the vibrant I will never own another Samsung product. I just hope the g2x is not the same way.

I respect your point of view but I disagree with you.
I come from a Galaxy S 4G and this phone is way better and faster.
If you are experiencing those kind of issues, I would advise you to exchange it. I haven't really experience those kind of issues and the only real problem to me has been data disconnecting.
Now that I have flashed many ROM's I have come to the conclusion that EB 1.04 is the best and not many disconnections since I settle.

No longer a rumor.....Vigor approaches

Thunderbolt lovers get ready for big brother. Last topic I start was during rumor now the pictures have been released and the release date still looking like October. I can only hope the thunderbolt great developers follow up their work to this upcoming great phone. I plan on turning my thunderbolt into a testing phone once I upgrade and maybe doing a little coding myself. Just thought I would keep everyone updated on the newest upcoming 4GLTE HTC phone.

U paid only $50 for an early upgrade? The guy charged me $250 for an early upgrade from dinc to TB, anyway I'm leaning towards getting this phone, does have some crazy specs and looks a little like the dinc, TB is great but seems like it can improved a little more giving that's it the first lte device.

I have been with verizon over 10 years and neither mom, dad, wife, or myself have ever purchased a phone for full price. And i have never kept a phone over a year. I just call in tell them I want to buy a phone and say I know my contract is not up but I wanted to know if i can get a loyality credit toward a new phone. And there you have it pay like $50 bucks to move contract up but you have to buy the phone right there and then. And some of the reps are lazy they won't do this for you just call back and you will find one that likes their job. My lastest upgrade came for free a few months after the thunderbolt came out I was having reboot issues on nonrooted phone took it into store can't be fixed, I was having dropped data for days at a time, needless to say didn't want a replacement thunderbolt so i got a free upgrade to new phone at 2 year price, then I rooted my phone and it fixed all my problems.

I don't pay full retail either but I have paid early upgrade fees. I don't think I'm going this route again. Technology moves too fast to play catch up all the time. The Nexus Prime may change my mind but we'll see.

Yeah, and they allowed yearly upgrades. I am saying, they don't do that anymore.
Don't believe me? Go try it.

Yeah, they eliminated those shortly after they came out with the thunderbolt, sadly

I agree with the author of the article, it looks EXACTLY like the Incredible. Specs sound quite pleasing though.

The only real reason I have not is because of money. Those phones ain't cheap, and unless I have a real need for that phone (which I don't), its not really worth it to me to spend it. Also, my contract is up on father's day, so I will probably get a nice upgrade for cheap then. I can wait.

My upgrade is around the same time. If the GS III launch is anything like the GS II, it'll hit the states months after the rest of the world. I may buy a Galaxy Note and flash the radio that works with T-Mobile to tide me over until the GS III or something else comes along. Then I will have two awesome phones.

good for you. I am used to it... I was with Virgin Mobile before I came to T-mo and if you think T-mo is bad. *shudder* At least T-mo releases updates... In the history of VM there has been 1 update. 1 and only 1. To a outdated phone to an outdated os... So I personally can live with having a phone have 0 updates or go to it's end of life... There is always dev support.
Also people complaining of lack of dev support... There are lots of devs here compared to a lot of other phones...

I love this phone, but took a lot of hassle/reading to make it work the way it supposed to.
So, if you're eligible for wind tab (which is not that easy with there credit check expectations) why don't you go Galaxy Nexus? I'm not too sure about the current price, though.

Honestly, I don't know exactly how it is working with the tab. I assume they deduct a certain percentage from your monthly charges toward the price of the device, so eventually you will come to zero if you gonna stick with them long enough. There is no such a thing as 3 years term with wind, you pretty much contract free. Give them a buzz, they will explain, especially when it comes to changing plans.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium

If you want a brand new device for wind, I wouldn't get the g2x at this point especially from wind cuz their prices are marked up. Just add a little bit of cash and get the $399 galaxy nexus someone posted a deal for here. If u can't spent that much money then u can find a used g2x on kijiji/eBay for around $200. Also, there's gonna be the g4x from tmo that's gonna be compatible with wind but I wouldn't buy LG at this point cuz the g2x was enough. Not that they are totally assholes, I think its just that they can't make good software for their hardware. Its up to u of course, but I think getting a g2x used wouldn't be such a bad deal. Maybe even get one with a broken digitizer for dirt cheap and just fix it if u like a challenge. Believe it or not some people are really that clueless. A friend of mine bought an iPhone 4 from some old Guy for a $100 cuz the man didn't know/didn't wanna go through the hassles of fixing it.
Whatever u do don't get the phone new from wind unless u like paying top price for obsolete technology. I mean it can still stay on par with today's phones performance wise but not in screen size/amount of(unnecessary) cores. Let us know your choice

i wont buy lg optimus 2x P999 in this situation..

Well if ur new in Canada then I guess you don't have credit history, and as far as I know wind doesn't give out tabs to people who can't give some kind of credit history and proof that they have income. Thing is, you wont find a g2x for $100 unless something is wrong with it. Even if u do get windtab, you will still have to pay out the full price which is like $300-$400 and it would come in like $3-$5 each month on top of your regular bill. So in a year or two, if you are still with wind you will still be paying out the full price of the phone, might as well drop another hundred and buy the phone outright.. just some advice on what I would do...

There's other androids that work with wind/mobilicity. They include: Nexus One, Nexus S, Galaxy Nexus, T-Mobile sensation, T-Mobile gs2, g2(HTC desire or something) also g1 which falls in your price range lol

I love this phone but if money isn't an issue for you I would choose the galaxy nexus. Its a newer phone and it is very nice. The g2x is a great phone though! I love mine.

That's not true. The wind tab does not add anything to your monthly bill. It takes 5% from each payment and puts it towards your tab. You can pay your tab off three ways 1) your monthly 5%s pay off your tab 2) you wait 3 years and wind pays it for you or 3) you get tired of your phone so you pay off the remaining balance before your 3 years are up.
If you can get the tab it's well worth it. Because you're guaranteed to at least pay less than what you would've had to if you bought it out right and brand new

Yup, and at the end you are left with less money than if you just bought the phone.
Gotta love American schemes
