Amazing price at fry's aria + captive

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App

Maybe Im missing something, but wheres the great price? pretty sure that these prices can be beat on a few different online places...

You may be able to get them cheaper online (Amazon, Letstalk, Wirefly)... I've seen the Aria for free, Captivate for $50 with certain plans. I got my Captivate from Amazon for $165 shipped as an upgrade.

I just picked up a 2nd Captivate for $99 with a 2-yr upgrade from Letstalk, but I went through a cash back site, so I'll be getting back $45 of that. It worked out to a little under $100 out the door.

I used my upgrade thorugh LetsTalk as well. I paid 83 and change for the phone and a car charger. There is or was a $25 off coupon available when you get any phone with a plan (this DOES include upgrades). Wish I had know about the cashback link as I would have tired to stack that on top of the coupon.
Maybe the OP can clarify what the great price was maybe a great price for a B&M?

I go my captivate for free, cant really beat that price.

Just go to bestbuy.com and click on the weekly ads, it still shows the 249.99 price there, make sure to click on the right ads, the one on the right shows 299.99.

I don't know where the "right" ads are, as the ads to the right show 299, as you say.

If the phone is released after the 2/26 they don't have to honor the $249 price tag, thats when the ad expires.

You can still get it at vzw for $249 after the 26th.

Verizon stores won't even honor thier online prices, what makes you think they will honor BB's prices.

Best Buy does not pricematch anything when rebates are involved.
Best Buy also reserves the right to make price adjustments.
Everyone just sit tight and wait for the official announcement....

bestbuy will honor the 249 price! wont say it again! (for pre orders)

I assume its too late to preorder? Altough its not out so...
Then again the ad says 249 after savings. Which I assume is the instant rebate or the upgrade savings?
I guess if you put down $50 and get a gift card of $50, then you still have to pay $200 when you pick it up or $250?

I went to BB in Lafayette, LA last night and was still able to pre-order. Got the 50$ card with it too. Give your local a call. They may have some.

Pretty sure it's release price is going to be 249.00 whether it's release this week or next.

Went by BB today.
I picked up a copy of the ad just in case. The sales guy said the phones are locked up but not yet allowed to sell any. He showed me the boxes. He had no idea when he would be allowed, he said call every day.
I also asked about the preorder and price. He said it will be 249 this week for sure if he can sell them. He said he knew about the 299 change, but he thought it meant it will be 299 with a $50 gift card (instant rebate) bringing it "back to 249". As to preorder, he said the $50 you pay up front gets you a gift card but does not go towards the price. So when you come back you still owe 249 but can use the $50 gift card. So in the end you pay a total of 249 and tax, 50 up front for a gift card, and 200 more and the gift card when you pick it up.
So hopefully in the next couple of days we can start getting them. Although I feel Wirefly and Amazon will have them for less, maybe 149-199 and no tax. We'll see.

T-Mobile vs Amazon vs Wirefly for Upgrades (Tried all 3)

T-Mobile.com:
+ Can keep your plan
- $325 ridiculous up-front cost ($250 + $50 tax + $18 Upgrade Fee + $6 Shipping) (See attached screenshots)
- $50 Mail-In Rebate hassle
- $50 SENSATION50 promo code box doesn't appear for upgrades, wtf??
Amazon:
+ $179.99, No Tax
+ Free 2-Day Shipping
- $35 Activation Fee
- Can't keep your current plan at all, you MUST choose from the new plans
Wirefly:
+ $179.99, No Tax
+ Free FedEx Shipping
- $18 Activation Fee
? There is a "Keep My Plan" option available but what plan options does it keep if forced to choose a new data plan anyway??
Is there a less expensive way to go about it?
And what the heck is this "Activation Fee" if my account is already active, and why is it more expensive on Amazon?
(See attached pictures)

The activation fee is a joke. T-Mobile has to do zero work to get the phone to work on their network. All we need to do is move a sim from one phone into the other. I wonder if they'll waive the fee if you call t-mo?

I got mine from letstalk for $149.99 with free overnight shipping.
But I am a new customer.

$249 for existing customers

Wow that sucks.
Let'stalk even paid for the california taxes (which would be $50 since smartphones are taxed the full price of the phone in california), so I only paid a total of $149. Seemed like an awesome deal to me.

You cant go wrong with costco... 199 after rebate, you keep your plan and you can exchange the phone for a new one in the next 90 days.
Got my g2x and after me being very disappointed with it - swaped for the sensation.
Plus, they will match the price if it ever goes down (got my g2x for 200 and got 100 back when they started offering the phone for 99)
So id say -costco has the best deals on cell phones. Ever. And to think that I used to get phones from amazon before....
Good luck in your search!

So let's say you bought a HTC Sensation at full retail price, you can return it within 90days no charge?
I wonder if you accidently bricked your phone.. I wonder if they will let you return/exchange it within 90days.

Unfortunately, they force you into the 5 GB plan no matter what, even if you keep your plan:
And they do charge tax too
And they charge the $18 upgrade fee too (see bottom of picture). They just don't add it to the final price.
So it ends up being almost as much as T-Mobile for a total of $315 (free shipping though at least)

Wait, the SENSATION50 promo code doesn't work for upgrades? What the hell?
The $50 “SENSATION50” discount code is valid for new customers, new 2-yr agreements, or for add a line. http://goo.gl/3Jxa1 (Web Only Offer)

Isn't a new two year agreement an upgrade?

The box to put the promo code in just doesn't appear.
It's simply just not there.
So maybe the promo works for upgrades, but you can't actually enter it.
Perhaps someone at T-Mobile forgot about that box?

Walmart! $148.88 + 18 upgrade fee + tax. Keep your plan, no MIR.
Good luck.

Ummm... I kept my unlimited Data plan... I just called in to make sure, and Yes - my unlimited Data is still active!
Try your local Costco, its different when you deal with a live person. They tried to sell me the 5GB, but they couldnt. I said that that would be the day that i move to ATT, cause thats the only thing keeping me with tmobile, since their signal at my house is just... missing in action
So try the local store, they can work with you better than the website.

I think the 149 upgrade price expired yesterday.

I asked T-Mobile about the promotion and the rep didn't seem to have a clue about it...
~Tracy W: I am not finding anything in regards to a promotion code, what I would recommend is calling our sales department at 1-800-672-5390

I asked a rep from Amazon and they said that you can keep your $10 data plan and you don't actually need the $30 one.. you can switch it at any time.
Also, I think you clicked 'new plan' instead of existing plan, I get a different checkout page.. see attachment

Hey Paul you should try checking craigslist. I got mine brand new for $365 yesterday. Might be worth a shot instead of paying up to 325 and having to use your upgrade.

Nope, got mine using my full upgrade today for 148.88 + tax at walmart. but the deal only works I'm store though I think.

Infuse 4g $50 at Target July 17th - 23rd

http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/0...use-4g-available-for-50-at-target-july-17-23/
I figured I'd give you guys the heads up
P.S. $50 price is for new contracts AND upgrades
(unlike Amazon that charges more for upgrades vs new lines)

This is no deal!
you will charge taxes on this.
on amazon, no taxes!

Target sells phones?

Unless taxes equate to > $40, Target is still the better deal.

How is this not a deal?
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)...
PLUS you get Targets 90-day return policy right?

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...

what if i want a car charger? or one of those cases with all the pretty jewels on it?

Gonna grab this phone for my mother and swap out my atrix with it. I wonder if the att store will do a price match.
Sent from my MB860

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.

Sorry if this has been posted again, just dont want any of you great people to pay more then need

Thanks no-vowel guy!
I would have never thought to check the ads for sales (just not a habit of mine) but due to a glitch in their registers, I received my $50, plus the sales tax my People's Republic of Kalifornien charged me, PLUS the sales tax on the actual $199 I had previously paid. Walked out with $79 and change for reading your post.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
