$19.99 htc inspire at costco

i dont think u can beat this deal anywhere. I got one 2 days ago and now thinking about rooting the bloody thing but christ it seems awfully hard to do and then sticking a rom is even harder compared to my old tilt 2!!

wow what a deal... do people really think this phone is worth that price?? i personally think it's better than the atrix (minus the laptop dock)

It is not as hard as you think, all you need do is read the threads and take your time, I rooted a long time ago when bubby first did the one click, since then he has made it less complicated, the hardest part most are having is making a gold card, just take your time and you will do fine. I am rooted and am running Core Droid Gingerbread rom and have no sign of AT&T left on my phone. It is great, give it a try!!!! You can do it, the only thing holding you back is you!!!

I got better than that from AT&T directly. Free phone, no shipping, no activation, 2 yr contract extension, early-upgrade. Granted I've been with AT&T since 1999 and I give them a decent chunk of my paycheck every month.
You just have to be patient with them, be willing to stay on hold for a bit, ask for a supervisor, and remember a few key phrases: "Long time customer..." "Pay bills on time..." "Been loyal through Iphoney induced network problems..." "Other carriers offering better equipment, and with contract expiring soon..."
That has always worked for me. The phones aren't always free, but I've always gotten a better deal than the normal upgrade price. At the very least the rebate price without dealing with the rebate. I've even gotten an upgrade price on an equipment replacement without contract extension.
Not sure if there are specific guidelines they use as far as longevity, monthly service charge, etc. You just have to be polite and insistant, and companies will generally give you what you want to keep you as a happy customer, AT&T included.

woww that is a deal and a half))my son just came home from school and he said his buddy told him that more people are bricking their phones when they try rooting... but then what does a kid know)))

They have it marked down to a penny if you buy it online with two year upgrade.

any way to make AT&T match this deal? The wife just paid 99 bucks for hers when I added a line last week.

shoot I'd just pay the restocking fee, and then buy from costco and it would still be cheaper. I am not sure att will match it though. I know you can't buy it out of contract Online. I was looking to see what they would charge maybe get my wife one so she can get away from her captivate.

I got mine free from radio shack and I was expecting to pay For it. Don't know how I get it free though

I got my Inspire from Costco about two weeks ago, and then upgraded one of my kids to one last week as well -- took advantage of that Costco deal! And no, AT&T could care less about price matching.
I rooted both of our phones last night. Read more than I did before I flashed my Tilt 2, but after my kid said just watch the Youtube video, I was ready. LOTS and lots of steps, but his rooted exactly as advertised. I did the same steps to mine, got hung up on the final step (pushing the new ROM back to the phone) but found a post in @bubby's thread about the same issue; I manually copied the image to my SD card and entered the bootloader, and now my Inspire is rooted as well.
Lots of great deals out there, BTW. Look at Cartoys and Radio Shack; the Costco deal ends pretty soon.

i got mine from Costco, i only paid the tax and an upgrade fee which will show up on my att bill. id say i came out on top

I just checked ... price is 1 cent now with a 2 yr extension. May have to go to KC!!

I too got mine from Costco for a penny! :-D According to tracking, I'll have it Wednesday. And then...we root! :-D

On a sidenote... I only agree with one line on here. "However now more then ever who you get on the other end of that line MATTERS." ...Unfortunately, this is true. I am a Level 2 technical support agent for Philips Electronics. If you catch an agent on a bad day, then don't expect much. HOWEVER... I personally try to remain fair... If you call me and ask for support, you BETTER be nice. If you are a jerk, yell, cuss, racist, etc...YOU GET NOTHING!
I deal with all walks of people on a daily basis. Kindness is key. It also helps to know how to speak and speak properly.. "Key phrases" mean nothing to me. But that's just me. It's all about the attitude. If you are nice, I'm willing to GIVE you almost anything. If you are an A$$hole...well...you get the idea.
One final note...It DOES NOT matter what nationality you or the tech support rep are. One of the nicest people I have ever met is this guy that sits beside me at work. He is 100% Irish, and hates the world. But again...if you are nice, he will give you whatever you are asking for.

I have an Atrix, not worth it at all... Even with the Dual Proc and Laptop dock. Call quality sucks, signal sucks and worst of all, it seems like they took someone's custom ROM (Alpha Build) and released it (get Aqua/Robot Voice at times) and instability so they have to make a fix for it and THEN wait for AT&T to release it...
Thanks, but no... not at all worth it.
The Inspire though? Yeah, worth way more. I paid full price for mine (no upgrade available on any of the 5 lines... )

I got my Inspire from Costco for $19.99. It did not take too long either. They also gave me a free car charger, head set, and leather case.
On a side note: I don't like ordering things like phones (Atrix) or laptops(Asus) online because if their is a problem with it takes week to get there and get back to you.

How much off contract and from where?
I tried buying it though Costco online but I wont let me keep my grandfathered unlimited data plan. I still cant decide whether to use my upgrade or buy it off contract.

I've been seeing lately that its now $79, and as a CostCo Member, its as low as $50 on a two year contract. Its still a great price.

Staples has it for $50, verified as of yesterday.

G2X - How much of an upgrade over a Galaxy S 4G?

I just started a new contract with T-Mo Tuesday night, and got the Galaxy S 4G for free. (It was a one night special!) It seems like a solid phone, and my only complaints so far are the low internal memory (which I understand can largely be fixed by rooting and moving apps to the SD) and the occasional sluggishness. I'm also a little worried about upgrades of the OS, as I've heard some bad things about Samsung in this regard.
How big a difference would I see with the G2X? Is it worth the possible extra $200 I'd have to shell out to get it, considering I got the SGS4G for free?

as a previous VIBRANT and SGS4G owner i will tell you GET IT!
dual core>single
1080p camera/mirrioring>****ty 4g no flash camera
DIVEX!
there are many more
do research before you buy but YES it is a upgrade its the top phone to buy right now (till the SGS2 comes out)
and if you still got your 14days to exchange it do it! (if you still are in your 14 day grace period you WILL NOT have to pay a xtra 200 bucks! just pm me and ill tell you more!)
and if you dont like it im sure you can sell on ebay for close to 400-500 bucks!
(i hated the fact that the vibrant had 16GB internal memory but the 4G did not so i also switched it for the G2x....)
good luck and hope i helped!

Its not worth the $200. I have only used one in the store, but i would hardly call it a quantum leap in terms of features or speed.
Spend the $200 on a used tablet instead

You may have gotten the phone for free, but its still a 2-year contract. A 2 year contract on a phone that is basically a vibrant with 4g and ffc that came out July 2010. In my opinion I would get a phone that is newer technology. I love my vibrant a lot and its a fantastic device, but I would not however sign up for a 2-year contract on a 9 month old phone. If you do not change phones often then free isnt a bad thing at all, just wish it was newer. My 0.2 cents

The 2-year contract is what is making me consider the switch, even if I do have to shell out some cash to do so. (I EXPECTED to have to spend money up front, just caught a break on that SGS4G deal.)

I understand. I mean a free phone is always awesome lol, just hard to push contract on 9month old phone into my head. I go through 2-3 phones a year so I always buy mine outright, but that isnt an option for everyone. The SGS4g is a great device and still impressive with a custom rom on it. Cheers

You wont have to shell out any more money since you are still under 14 days. Just go to the store with a reciept and the phone and ask for an exchange. Unfortunately ive had my galaxy s 4g since launch so im pretty much SCREWED.

I called T-Mo tonight to ask about exchanging my GS4G for the G2X, and it looks like it will work out. The Galaxy S 4G is already back in the box and ready to ship out tomorrow morning. They said they'll be express shipping the G2X for me as well, I can live without a phone for a day or two.

I think he will have to shell out 199 for the G2X vs the FREE for the Vibrant4G thats with 2 Year Contract.
And yeah I would take the Vibrant4G back and pay the 199 and get the G2X. You could also use the Equipment Installment Plan and only pay like $50 I think. and then 50 or 100 a month untill the 199 is payed off.
The Vibrant was free but like said before is about a year old vs something that is brand new. If Im going to sign a 2 year contract might as well get the latest and best because without the 2 year contract your looking at 499.

The G2X also doesn't feel like it'll break if you look at it wrong.

Possible solutiom
Look for my thread in the G2X forums, it has info you may be interested in. Sorry I cant post link, i'm using my cell for this reply.

Actually, it's the Galaxy S 4G I got for free, not the Vibrant. I think it is working out for me because there were other issues with my account surrounding my plan based on what I was told versus what I was actually going to be charged. Basically, I've been getting the runaround on a few things, have been getting miffed, and I think they are trying to make me happy at this point.

did you know you can sell a vibrant on ebay for like250 bucks... and a SGS4G for like 300+... why wouldnt you just sell the phone and tell them to give you a free upgrade or your gonna cancel service... and if they ask why you want a free upgrade tell them your vibrant/SGS4G got stolen and you need a new phone... or make something up...

Depending on how fast he trying to sale his Vibrant4G/GalaxyS4G you can get it gone quick on craigslist.
200-250 Will get it sold day one especially if you put it up on a Thursday/Friday
300-350 Might take a min to sale on craigslist but should deffinetly sale.
Then come out of pocket around 200-250 and get the G2X

i can confirm i sold a vibrant for 200 on craigs list within a day

I would stay away from SGS 4G if I was you because the application storage is too low for me.
G2x, on the other hand, has nearly 2GB for applications which is necessary for games (and newer applications take up to 50MB).

Bye Bye Birdy

If you are like me and don't like threads saying bye to the sub-forum because the user is changing devices feel free to skip the whole rest of this. I usually don't like those threads either.
However, with tongue firmly planted in cheek:
I'm ditching this Droid Charge because:
It didn't wash the windows
It didn't bring about world peace (yes that comes after washing the windows. I likes some clean windows, I do.)
It didn't feed the hungry or clothe the nekked...and man some of those ugly people need some clothes! Why won't this phone stop the insanity?
It didn't provide notifications while the sender was typing the message or before. Really, I would have rather had the notification before the sender woke up that day.
The voices in the phone kept talking to me and I didn't like what they had to say. "If you would like to make a call..."
I couldn't find the Any Key. Hell, I couldn't find any keys period. There were a couple of buttons, but no keys. How the hell am I supposed to open locks without any key?
The battery wouldn't charge itself. I mean, come one. Why is this too much to ask? I just want a phone that absorbs energy from the room...preferably from iPhones. I'd love it if my friend's iPhones batteries would die even faster when my phone was in the room. The OEM developers really dropped the ball on this one.
All kidding aside: This Droid Charge hasn't been stable since I got it. It was 10x better than the Fascinate garbage I came from. I've loaded ROM after ROM and some work better than others. All of them are better than the stock experience and the XDA / RootzWiki developers have my thanks for their help and time. I've had stability problems from day one and even once I'd get them ironed out stability problems would come back regardless of kernel. I've reloaded the PIT and stock ROMS plenty of times. I haven't overclocked or undervolted and this thing acts like I'm running an aggressive scheme.
So, I'm jumping ship to the Droid Razr Maxx. It will be here on Tuesday. Maybe I can sell this thing on eBay for a few bucks with the docks and extra batteries. I didn't want a Motorola phone, but I haven't been impressed with the chances I've given Samsung, so time to try something new. I'm glad that the Droid Razr Maxx has the Super AMOLED screen.
So long and thanks for all the fish.

I envy you....i will wait one year with the phone before i start harrassing vzw for an early upgrade.
Droid Charge 4G LTE

I've been looking myself as well for an upgrade too but my official upgrade doesn't come for another year. My line isn't the "master line" in the family plan that my line is part of. Also, I think we got the family plan after they stopped offering early upgrades for the "master line."
So that means I do one of the following...
Hit up eBay and see if I can get a phone there at a decent price. I'm hoping I can snag a Galaxy Nexus but some of the prices for those phones are going ridiculously high.
Save up and buy the phone at full price.

I had to sat good bye also. Didnt have an upgrade so paid retail for 2 razr maxx. It has been the best phone to date for me atleast. Stock or Rooted it is a great phone and havent had a complaint. By the way I have 2 charges for sale with extras if anyone interested.

Congrats on being able to switch. We all should expect/own a phone that works. For some, the Charge fits the bill. Unfortunately, for others, the Charge is plagued by many flaws.
Personally, I'm waiting for CTIA(and whenever Samsung's event is) to see what's available for Verizon. I have an early upgrade available, but I'll wait it out.

Well everyone that said that their gps worked for them no problem it never worked for use. It took forever. When my wife travels she takes enough stuff with her and needed something that worked. With the maxx we got everything we needed. A phone that locked on within 30 seconds, battery life that is incredible. Most everything we needed was there. People will say buy used. With new we get a warranty and the assurion protection. These can be used for a write off as a business expense.

Scored a Samsung Galaxy Nexus for $400 on Craigslist. I already verified the ESN with Verizon and they say that the ESN is clean. In an hour or so I'm going to be going with a friend of mine to go pick the phone up in a Verizon Retail Store to have the phone checked out by a Verizon store representative as well as activate it on my account.
It has been a nice ride with the Droid Charge but it is time to move on and getting a Galaxy Nexus for $400 is like a dream come true. It is a steal of a deal.

I wouldn't buy moto personally, others seem to like it and from the looks of it it's really smooth. After playing with my moms droid 4, it seems blur makes everything difficult and things aren't as easy to set\ find things (probably been on touchwiz too long and need to explore others). My sister likes her droid 3 and my mom loves hers D4, I hope you will too with the MAXX. Good luck, enjoy that awesome machine!

By the looks of how technolgy for android is acknowledging upgrading our batterys to high mah batterys it seems more of these companys will follow motos lead. Especially since 4g practically destroys these batterys. By the time I have a upgrade devices with quad core and better batterys should be available. Kinda worth the wait.

Pissed the heck off. My little rant.

So I'm pretty darn pissed. My beautiful infuse was stolen today, along with my cherished 16gb sd card with all my music stored on it. I called up att and they deactivated it and i have insurance but there's a flippin $200 deductable just to get a possibly refurbished one while I can get a refurbed on on the online store for almost free with upgrade. What the freaking f? Now I'm back to my indestructible brick of a phone, the Tilt 2 with a new 3g sim card and figuring out what to do. My friend offered to sell me an old iphone 3gs and i'm also looking at maybe getting a refurbed gsII skyrocket for 20 bucks at the online att store but I dunno. I really liked my infuse and might get that again but maybe I should just switch over? I'm like at a bridge I'm deciding whether to cross or not. Any ideas or suggestions?
TL;DR stolen phone, deciding what to do next.

Sorry to hear that..

Edit
I would get something else besides the infuse. Get the skyrocket.

I can understand that. I've seen faster/smaller phones, but I can't give up my 4.5" screen. Even a 4.3 is noticeably smaller to my trained eye. And Notes are too expensive right now.

You didn't have where's my droid or my lookout on it for GPS locating? That does suck! I paid $190 cash for mine via a craigs list ad. Maybe you should keep your eye out on there.

Go for the Skyrocket. It's got the same 4.5" screen, but has better hardware (dual core, higher RAM, etc.)
Plus, it already has Gingerbread on it and official ICS has already been leaked.

But skyrocket too has the "black" color issue. I checked it out at the AT&T store when I went to return the note.

Or you could just suck it up for a few months and wait for the sgs3

Go for the skyrocket .. same screen and its a great device .. I have the infuse and the sky .. can't tell the difference except for the 4g icon .. I think the sg3 is just overkill for today's apps and stuff and especially if ur satisfied with how the infuse works (but that's just me) .. plus u will have a stable build of GB and ICS coming .. the skyrocket will get alot more love from att / Samsung than our infuse did :-/ ... although, yes, the development may not be as rich as our infuse section .. I have never had a problem with a refurbished phone .. usually they are returned phones within the 30 days but instead of sending them back to Sammy for new boxes and packaging, att does them

I can understand that. I've seen faster/smaller phones, but I can't give up my 4.5" screen. Even a 4.3 is noticeably smaller to my trained eye. And Notes are too expensive right now.

put them side by side, and it is noticeable. Why would you want to go smaller? (that's what she said)

Now you're just being funny. I would quit using cell phones before I'd use a winphone.

I bet you have windows on your desktop. Just guessing.

Don't go back to the Infuse....AT&T won't be updating it to ICS officially. I liked my Infuse, but since I had the Best Buy buy back program I took it back and they gave me $240 for it and I bought the Note. The Note is nice, just wish the battery allowed me to have 3 or 4 hours of screen time at decent brightness lol
Get the SkyRocket or the Note. If you don't want either just wait a month or so for a newer phone.

So I'm pretty darn pissed. My beautiful infuse was stolen today, along with my cherished 16gb sd card with all my music stored on it. I called up att and they deactivated it and i have insurance but there's a flippin $200 deductable just to get a possibly refurbished one while I can get a refurbed on on the online store for almost free with upgrade. What the freaking f? Now I'm back to my indestructible brick of a phone, the Tilt 2 with a new 3g sim card and figuring out what to do. My friend offered to sell me an old iphone 3gs and i'm also looking at maybe getting a refurbed gsII skyrocket for 20 bucks at the online att store but I dunno. I really liked my infuse and might get that again but maybe I should just switch over? I'm like at a bridge I'm deciding whether to cross or not. Any ideas or suggestions?
TL;DR stolen phone, deciding what to do next.

I got the note for 150 without a coupon or anything... just rant to art or ask them straight up to help you, tell them that you don't want to pay for another infuse that will never be updated .. though its a bad ass phone
I sold my infuse to my brother and got myself the note .. I love the note!!!

[Q] HTC One S or wait?

Well, as most of you know, the HTC One X+ was announced today. Would it be stupid to buy an One S or should I wait for a One S+?
Many Thanks,

I just got this phone yesterday and I love it. imo I think the one x looks better but I love how compact this phone is for how big the screen is. cant go wrong that. as far as im concerned the one x+ still isn't too much of an upgrade besides its hd screen

I think you can't go wrong with either. The One X does feel good and solid and the bigger screen is awesome too. But the One S is so thin and sexy; even with a case. I went back to stock for the new update and this thing is even faster.
In my opinion, the only reason somebody would get a One X is because of the bigger screen. Even though the One is is marketed below the One X, it certainly does not feel or operate like it.

I don't think there will be a One S+. The way I see it, the One X+ was a small bump that gave the US a non-LTE but Tegra3 version. If you want the big screen, I would wait, but I'm really happy with the One S for the already stated reasons.

These can be found for $250 on craigslist. Buy it now sell it later without losing a dime.

Beware buying sh!t on Craigslist, especially phones. Make sure you have the device running before a purchase. But who the hell would want to buy a phone on Craigslist anyway?!

I purchase both my Nexus One and my Nexus S on craigslist. Its up to the buyer to make sure they don't get scammed. I take someone with me so I don't get robbed/jumped and I make sure the phone is working and I can make a call before money is even shown. Craigslist is a wonderful place to get stuff. The only people that get scammed on there are the gullible ones.

I just got a new one from craigslist a couple days ago, nothing wrong with getting stuff off of CL.. especially since phones come with a 1 year manufacture warranty if there is a issue with it (besides cracked screens).

Just bought HTC One S from a "nice" dude I found on Craigslist. The guy apparently works for T-Mobile, and we completed the transaction at a T-Mobile store. I paid $275 for a brand new HTC One S. I wanted a Galaxy S3 originally but getting a One S for around 60% of a GS3 price feels good. It's a good phone for the price for sure.

HTC One S is a great phone, if you enjoy compacted efficiency.

This phone is great IMO it all comes down to what you like, go on YouTube watch some reviews and see what you think.

I loved my G1 as well, there is a difference between cheap plastic and premium plastic.. compare the N9/one x with the galaxy s 2 hahah

You can always rendezvous with the craiglist seller in a bank or ATM machines as there are always camera's there and you can verify the phone is legit and then get the money from the ATM and that way if you ever have to file a complaint, you will have the time and hopefully the camera captured you and the seller doing the transaction in the bank lobby

or you can have the guy meet you outside your house and set up a camera haha

As much as this Craigs list thing is hijacking the thread I suppose I'll participate..Just meet inside a McDonald's. Public, cameras, plenty to choose from. But always, always put your SIM and micro sd in and check all functions first.

So can anyone answer the question about the differences between the 2 one S versions in terms of reliability?
