[Q] How much did you pay for your Sensation 4G?

Just wondering how much everyone paid for their Sensation 4G in the end, and how they went about getting the deal that they got.
I am currently an EM+ customer and I called in and they basically told me that they couldn't do anything for me (I said that I was interested in signing a two-year contract). The girl just referred me to the website saying that it was 250 and 50 rebate. I mentioned the $150 walmart price and she says "Yeah I think CostCo has it for like $90 too". bummer.

Please see the thread that talks about Releasing for Tmobile. I know it's big, but a lot of it is discussing peoples deals that they got. There's really no reason to start a new thread for it. I know you know about the thread too because you've posted in it.
submitted to MOD for lock

Wouldn't it be better to have a thread specifically for this information? I don't understand how it's a bad idea. Kind of lame if this gets locked. This is general discussion.

Yeah, I just searched several different phrases and didn't find my answer either. Leave this thread alone.

because it's already covered extensively in that other thread. why make a new one to just rehash what's in another. I'd understand if it was an issue with the phone that should deserve it's on post, but you're just wanting to know what others paid for for their phones & how much *****ing/politely asking/manipulating the system they did.

Right, which will be useful information for me and hopefully many others. That other post does not state that it's about what people paid or anything. But, now you're making this thread useless with your unhelpful posts.

New contract? Renewal?

Paid just taxes on 249 (that is around $20), and got it on 2 year contract extension. Had to talk with 4 CS reps, before getting this.

Some person will get a better deal than others. I think its depend to whom you are negotiate to.
But the worry point is, some one will not satisfied with others and will complain to their carrier/supplier and in the end all will not get a good benefit due to many complain others get good deal than yours..something like starting a "war" for the good deal..lol..
That's why its better to keep to your self on a good deal. So that the war will not start..lol
Just my 2 cent

Wow... You guys got some really good deals.
I paid $1000 for one in a dark alley from some guy... He told me not to look him in the eyes, dunno why.

I got mine for around $290 not including the rebate.... Is $40 of tax normal?

Brand New Mytouch 4g Slide for Sale!!!!

I have a brand new unopened unused Mytouch 4g slide for sale if anyone is interested. I had the original mytouch 4g and after so many warrenty replacments they told me I qualifyed for a free upgrade to a similer phone (go figure) . I don't like keybore phones so I just told em to send it to me with the hopes that I can sell it to someone and take the money and buy either a Sensation or the Amaze. If Anyone is interesed PM me or email me at [email protected]. I'd like to try n get at least 375 for it since shipping will cost, leaving me with a good amount to get another phone. I know brand new the mytouch 4g slide is around $500 so consider this a deal of a lifetime! (I'm a terrible sales man lol)

That's not a bad price at all if you don't want to upgrade.
I threatened to cancel two lines so I got TWO of them for free and sent the rebates in, so tmobile actually paid me $100 to renew the contract.
Yes, I can provide proof if anyone calls bull**** on me.

How is this for a good deal. I went thru 4 warranty replacements on my G2 so they sent me a brand new MT4GS. My wife didnt even go thru 1 replacement and they sent her a brand new LG G2x to replace her Samsung Galaxy S 4G .
Sent from my Senseless Doubleshot using xda premium

Yep.. So I went down to mobile today and ended up being sold on the amaze. Not a big fan of samsung build quality and apart from htc's quality control issues, they make great phones. Ive had the G2 and MT4G, and barly ever used my G2's keyboard (except when I wanted to show off the cool flip hinge). So now I definitely NEED to sell this MT4GS since droping over 5 bills on another phone! I was only planning on seeing if they could swap it out and give me credit but they said the ime on the phone was from another department and wouldnt allow a straight up swap. Damn tmobile politics!!!

Undead, how did you talk Tmo into sending you the MT4GS instead of another G2 on the 1 yr defective phone warranty?
My mom's gone through 5 HTC HD2s (because of defective), and they still haven't offered an HD7 or something of the sort at all.

Usually it needs to be 5 warranty replacements within a 90 day period. Go into a tmobile store and ask a representitive, they should be able to tell you. It HAS to be under warranty or you have to have insurence with the extended warranty service to qualify for upgrade replacement.

I would have posted in the market place but I didnt have enough posts with this XDA account. I had to use my old account I havent used since I made it because somehow I got locked out of my other one. My password stoped working and I no longer have the email that was associated with that particular account. Sorry about the post but it seemed to be the most logical solution.

warning: This story does not make sense!!!
Everybody likes keyboard phones -- those who prefer using osk simply keep the keyboard closed. When you really need it, its always helpful to have one.
This is probably a stolen phone.

Excuse me! Who are your to come to my thread and throughout accusations as severe as that! I will post the IME number for you to verify! What’s so hard about accepting the fact the some people have deferent preferences! So what if I don’t like keyboards, it’s my choice. I got this phone as a warranty upgrade from my original MT4G. I would be foolish to have turned it down "just because I don’t like keyboard phones" considering I can sell it to someone that would appreciate it much more than me so I can buy a phone that "I" want! The IME is *****************. Run your check at T-Mobile or take it down to your local police department for an investigation. Go troll someone else’s thread and stay out of things that don’t concern you!

For people that dont turst this I have it posted on ebay and you can pay through pay-pal eliminating all risk to the buyer. I figured I would post the info here for individuals that are using this phone already, maybe for development purposes, for a quicker sale. I already have the htc Amaze so the quicker I get rid of this extra phone, the quicker I get the money back that I spent on the amaze. The ebay item number is 220876455409 if anyone wants to check it out.

Please don't make assumptions dhkr234. Some people don't like kb phones because it adds more thickness/weight. I know a lot of people who prefer to have a kb-less phone.
Also, tyler625 - I would take down the IMEI. Only give it out to serious buyers... Don't publish it publicly.

I have a sensation

Yes people do. I've actually wanted to get a second one for a while.
I am not amused by your phones performance

New ones in the box seem to go for around 300 on ebay still.

So i'll sell mine for $250 shipped. $475 for the pair. They are att&t. But also one of the easiest phones ever to unlock. I'm glad to do it for anyone that wants it done before shipping. At the moment they've never been out the box.

Not sure how to respond. Because your absolutely correct. No one has any reason to trust me what so ever. And theres no way to change that. But my options are this or ebay. They have lost tons of value as it is because of the length of time I've had them. I'm sure I could get 500 on ebay, but by the time I pay their fee and paypal s fee for the money transfer and the shipping cost I might have 425 left. If you've sold on ebay then u know. And we all know what they cost so the thought of selling a brand new galaxy s for $212.50 seemed crazy. Wasn't sure what to do. I dont need the money but they'll be worth nothing if I continue to hold on to them. Its ok if u dont trust me.

Try Amazon.

Why not try Craigslist?

Just bought a second one for my wife. I'll keep these until the Galaxy Note has been out for a month or two. Loving that 5.3 inch SAMOLED. No reason to go to the SGS2 that I can see. It is awesome, but not that much better than the Captivate.

Sure there is. I havnt sold in a couple years(another reason why I shy away, so much has changed) but i remember paying an extra .25 just to have a pic posted during search. Extra charges if you use alotta pictures. And the charge just to post, and the extra if you sell your item. Things of that sort. My accounts havnt been activated in a while. I went back to paypal the other day just to update that accout. New bank and such. Because i bought a few accesories for the captivate I use now. If the person thats interested perhaps lives in southern VA or northern NC maybe we could meet. I live on the line midway (Halifax County, VA) Or if there is someone you really trust on the forum I could send the item to the first. And when they get it they can let you know. Then I could recieve my payment. Of course it would have to be someone of high standing. I would hate to get ripped off myself. Just know I'm not here to scam anyone. I could take pics of the items if it helps. At least you'd know I actually have them. Beside a printout of this post so you know i didnt just copy a picture from the web. I'm trying here guys. I'm an honest person. I dont care if I sell them now. I guess now I'm just trying to build a little trust.

Post edited - You must post for sale items in the marketplace.

[Q] Swap Xperia Play for Sensation?

not sure if i can post this here or at all?
Anyways i have a Xperia play love the phone but am not so much a gamer, phones in topnotch condition silver buttons on front have rubbed off a little but that's the only thing wrong with it no scratches on screen at all, i have a dock aswell
looking for a straight swap>?
i live in northwest England.
let me know if you wont more info?
cheers.

Sell it on eBay and buy a Sensation with the money - I did pretty much the exact same thing. I doubt you'll get anyone willing to do a straight swap since the Sensation is a much more powerful phone.
I sold my Play for £155 and got the Sensation for £160. You just need to keep an eye on a few auctions and you'll find one going cheap.
If you really want to swap you should try Gumtree.

i should but eBay is such a hassle and they charge ha ha, ill look in to it thanks mate

Don't think anyone would do it. Sensation is more expensive.
Btw, should be posted in the marketplace
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1321

i'm a reasonable person i can negotiate lol

Yea nobody will swap as has been said, gumtree is the best bet for avoiding ebay charges or a marketplace like on here

I paid 599. For my sensation in the US , California. No way would I swap! Sorry friend but ebay is likely the best place to sell. Then you can buy a sensation. Btw. You will LOVE the sensation! Very powerful phone, so many options! Great to customize! Lots of fun! Good choice, but trade, NO WAY!

Wait so you don't want to pay a restocking fee yet you are hoping to get 530 for it.... you do know the restock fee is $35 right? You're losing money...........

Been around for 4 years and you make a thread like this? Wrong section for one and two no ebay links. Not buying the whole nephew story either. Not what I'd expect from an xda veteran.

Hit up Jcase if this is legit, hes looking to buy a phone, he stated that today in a different thread..

How old is it? 1st batch (1.73) or 2nd (1.85) batch?

He will be losing more than a little bit. After eBay, PayPal fees and shipping he will be losing about $120. Unless of course he is past his return widow then he has no choice but to sell it.

there is no restocking fee on an unopened item.......

Don't have access to the Market board yet, but Im looking to trade my One X and an iPhone 4 for an S3, or sell them to buy the S3.

sorry been at work. att rep told me 15% restocking fee as did the manager. weather it is opened or not. sorry for placing this in the wrong place. yes this is legit. 15% of 594 $89 I would rather help a fellow here who wants one. then take it back to the store. figure i would sell it here. and not loose ( give att) about 90$.

My nephew did not graduate like he told me he was going to. so no phone for him. he can keep his moto razor flip phone. lol as far as batch, i dont know how do i check?

sorry man this is all true. not gonna return to att store, nephew let me down. paid full price 549$ plus tax.

ok so after reading the receipt... i had 30 days... june 6th was that date... so now i either stick with it or sell it. i was looking forward to a GS3. but maybe this phone will do.

Coming from a evo I must say the build quality on the hox has improved greatly.
The camera is fantastic, even my 7 year old can take some impressive shots.
Rooting/unlocking boot loader is a walk in the park with the AIO tools, Id say if your looking to upgrade anyways keep the hox and rub that phone in your nephews face every chance you get.

i like that. just every day have it sit there and as he does my yard work just use it for like pandora for my out door system... lol put very good use to it. thats funny

I posted in your marketplace thread. I'm interested
