I would pick this phone over GS3 any day. GS3's unique features are nothing but a gimmick. This phone on the other hand is sleek and more human than the GS3 simply because it fits in human hands.
Damn, I payed $290 with tax and $18 activation fee as upgrade customer 3 days ago.
Now I feel cheated. All I will ever get will be a $50 mail in rebate.

Call 611, say contract at the prompt, and then when they ask what's wrong tell them you just 'extended your contract' but now notice that the phone is available for less than what you paid for it. You'll be with retentions/customer loyalty, and they have much more power; they might even give it to you for free depending on your customer status.

You have a buyer's remorse window with new contracts. Use it. More than likely you'll be offered a bill credit for the difference.

Buyer's remorse period is 14 days. But retentions might cut him some slack if he is nice to the right rep.

Where'd you buy it? Some places have longer time limits than others (Costco has 90 DAYS to return/exchange, I only buy from there now!). Either way, do the 611 thing that was suggested above. If that doesn't work, do a full return then rebuy it for the discount. You have at least 7-14 days through tmobile for a full return.
The keyword for this deal is "new activation". I just called and asked them about it since I was due for a full upgrade and they told me that I would have to pay the $200+ price and that I could only get the $30 price if I added a line.

Get on with customer loyalty, they'll probably give it to you for free (or you can try for a GS3 if you want as well). As long as you're polite but also stick to your guns when talking to them, they'll usually give you what you ask for.

Because u don't own one? Wow. The gs3 is bad and there's no gimmicks, u really should try it. I have AT&T and T-Mobile sims that work just fine in my gs3. The gs3 fits perfect in my human hands. Guess it depends on the human. Lol...

The HTC One S is a pretty excellent deal all around on T-Mobile at the moment. Almost free w/ a 2 year contract extension and dirt cheap on craigslist in my area. I was about to pull the trigger and pay out the nose for a new Galaxy S III off contract but happened to see an HTC One S on craigslist for $350. Bought the HTC One S (tax free!), ordered the new Nexus 7 tablet with the money I saved, and called it a day.
Will try the customer retention script suggested and will report back the results.
Thanks for the suggestions.

it depends, but atleast i m not stuck with it for 2 years, or giving it back early and paying another 100 some for new device.
i will use it five six months and sell it for 240 i guess..
35$ at the shack . Happy so far .
is back at $79.99
its free(+tax) at costco, well at least in northern cali. plus if u break it in the first 90 days, they will still accept it as a full return
Just go to at&t,ask them to price match someone who has it cheaper. I bought a case,car charger,and got screen protectors free (buy 2 get 1 free). And they made the price of the phone free

Same price NO tax on AmazonWireless. Except, ironically, in Cali where I believe Amazon now charges tax.
How broken does it have to be for a Costco return...i.e. will they take a bricked phone? Will they also swap it out for a different model (Infuse?)
Nice find.

don't worry. I'm sure they'll run the special again.
just keep checking the midnight deal.
i sold my sensation for $400, now im getting one again cuz even i had just upgraded im eligible again to upgrade. been having since my last two phones. lol.
Yeah, thankfully, I suppose, I got it for "free" from T-mobile on their midnight special right after I lost my fully Android powered HD2 for the last time. Unfortunately, I still have to pay the $200 cancellation fee on the new line I added to my account in order to get the phone. Still, I really think that $200 is the cheapest anyone could get this phone with no contract whatsoever.

That's how i got mine ...well,not excatly.I intially bought the phone thru Wirefly,then i saw the web special(was still in the 14 day period).I decided to take advantage of that offer,so i added a second line.I got the Sensation from tmobile.com,then cancelled my first line and returned the first phone to Wirefly.
I paid $0 in shipping since both Wirefly and T-mo.com had free shipping.they even waived my activation fees.It was a bit of a hassle,but at the end it saved me $150.well worth it IMO.

Not sure if anyones noticed, but its 199 on the site. I paid 250 on 1/5 for it and renewed my contract. My question is what are the chances of seeing 50$ back since ive had it for 20 days? I swore i asked the in store sales guy about this scenario and he directed me to call att for a refund. called and the guy pretty much shut me down and said no. having a manager call me back tomorrow but has anyone been in this similar situation?
I called AT&T and was told I'd have to take it to store where they promptly credited my account $50. As long as you're within their 30-day price guaranty you shouldn't have any trouble. It sounds like you're well within the period.
I just bought mine today for $199

I also got mine from AT&T on January 5, and it was $150. The $200 it shows as now is a price increase. Maybe a regional inconsistency?
If you're within 30 days, you should be able to get a refund for the $50, but it's odd to me that you got charged $100 more than me when I got it at the same time as you.

If you have a defective phone, you will now it within 1 week of purchase, especially us with this new phone, nobody has been putting it down and not playing with it. After a few weeks with the phone, you wont be returning it, lol.
Any other advantages by buying at Best Buy over ATT other than the longer return window?
