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.

im guessing so, its 199 all around here.
so fyi i did have to go to the store and they credited me 50. thanks all!
Add me to the list of those who paid $149; also purchased on the 5th and agree, must only be certain regions.
I think the price varies as I also paid $149 a few weeks ago.

Still gotta pay activation and shipping, though, which I didn't from AT&T.
Looks like a lot of good AT&T phones are real cheap on Amazon right now. And AT&T is selling refurb Galaxy S IIs for $10.
I'm telling you, man, if you don't own a higher end smartphone these days, you're nuts. How can you not?
i got mine for 199 as well yesterday.

i'm friends with several at the mobile department, if it can be done they'll do it. if not, i'll wait until they have it in stock, return mine to at&t, and buy it there. i like black tie that much...although i've yet to use it.
I'm wondering if they'll price match radio shack at $49.99. I'm hoping they will of course. I used to work at Best Buy, so I hopefully may be able to convince a BB Mobile employee to price match.

No they can't price match online prices, only if a local store has that price and it's in stock

I also went to a best buy in stl and I ask the best buy employee, so when's the htc one x coming out?! I think it's going to be another month atleast. And that was Sunday he said this. Lol the store I went into was a best buy mobile store ONLY! But didn't know they would price match or I would of gone with them.
Still no word on the BB price? They usually are the cheapest around. I guess either way I could price match to $150, but I'd be surprised if they didn't already beat it.
I believe from when I did my pre order that their price is 200 for a upgrade. It should be the same price as ATT maybe as low as 150.00.
I went with them as I signed up for that free 50 dollar gift card with a upgrade earlier this year so that on top of the fifty I used to pre order and some other gift cards means I will be paying about 75 for it.
As for the info I would wager that they will send out a official email around Friday saying it will be ready for pick up on Sunday. That is what happened with my Galaxy Note I had on pre order.

Which mall did you go too?
Gang,
I just got back from my AT&T store here in the Dallas area. They have 12-15 phones in stock and the manager said they will start selling them tomorrow beginning at 12:00pm local time.
You may want to call/stop by your stores and see what they say.
I wil be there when the store opens and if I manage to get one I'll let you know!

I'm curious, can AT&T "authorized retailer" stores also receive HOX shipments earlier than May 6th? If so, I feel that this would be a much better way to convince someone to sell me one early...

Well, I've been calling around today. I did find a local "Authorized Retailer" that said they were getting their shipment in this Monday and were selling them. I even asked twice just to make sure. Giving them a call Monday morning to confirm. If so, I will do my best to grab one early.
I just got back form my local AT&T store to play with the One X and ask when they were going to start selling it. They already have the stock but are going to sell it on the 6th... but anyway, the One X is probably the most capable phone I've ever used.
It's a shame, my stores is one of the ones that follows the rules... Lol. So they're selling on the 6th.
I pre ordered though, so it's just a few more days, but I was still hoping to cancel it and buy it tomorrow, haha.
Haha yeah i think my store also follow the rules. I also pre ordered mine but through Amazon Wireless to save so major dough because I live in CA. Supposed to get it on the 9th . I hope I get it earlier though, but who doesn't lol. I can't stop thinking about this thing!! I probably shouldn't have gone and played with it today because it just makes me so much more impatient..
Did any of you who talked to a store with them in stock pre-order through that same store? I am curious if they would let one go early if you had already paid for it...
---------- Post added at 04:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:43 PM ----------
Just called my local store - they won't tell me if they already have any in stock. They just keep saying you can pre-order now or buy in store on May 6th...
To answer your question, I pre ordered through Amazon Wireless, but either way, I don't think they would have let one go just for me....
the sales person in the corporate store said they will be getting shipment on Sunday, i asked if i can get one by pre ordering, he said that i wont need to, just walk in, : D
The people getting it early are so lucky! Often times, employees get threatened with facing some consequences for selling the phone before release. But others just want a commission.
The Galaxy S III is just around the corner. Why pick up the One X early instead of seeing what Samsung has produced?

So I was unfortunately unable to preorder this phone, but I'm definitely planning on getting it. Each day I have to wait is getting longer and longer and was wondering if anyone here managed to pick one up in the store today/has called a store to see if they can get one a day early on Saturday (I already badgered them enough earlier this week that I'm ashamed to call them again). Would be very awesome as Sundays don't leave me much time to play around with it
It really depends on the stores in your area. Some people have gotten theirs from in-store already. I would doubt at this point that you would be able to get one a day early but you never know. I know that Target (where I'm getting mine) won't even have theirs until Sunday.
Both radioshacks that I preordered at has em in stock, but they can't sell em to me until Sunday.
Costco is selling them now. 189...

Radioshack systems won't let them checkout the One X until the 6th(i tried three different ones and talked to a manager). Bestbuy WILL let them checkout, just gotta find someone willing to sell it. I don't know about Costco, I might try them tomorrow. None of the AT&T corporate stores I went to even hesitated before saying they can't sell until Sunday.

I guess I will just hunker down and wait till sunday morning and hope they dont sell out.

I walked I to an AT&T store today and just asked to buy it and they said sure.
However, I got home and the device wasn't wrapped in plastic and when I booted it up there was someone else's account on it.
Someone at the store must have been using it and it was the only one at this store. Called every other store on the area to swap and nobody will do a swap until Monday

Something sounds very fishy about this. We get shipments of 10x of a single device at a time (usually)
Each box contains about 5 phones of that color / capacity.
Display unit maybe?
The salesman told me to call back tomorrow to see I'd their shipment arrived in and he would swap it out.

Does costco let you buy the phone outright? If so how much is it? I know that ATT site says 549 but lots of times the third party retailers sell the phone for 599 or 699.

Hello everybody. Want to share my experience for anybody that pre-ordered their v20 through AT&T and was planning on getting their $200 trade in credit. Just got back from AT&T store and process was pretty simple. I took in a old iphone they checked it out, asked for my v20 imei, then they gave me an instant $200 credit in my bill. They also said I could've used the credit instantly to buy accessories at the store, or wait to get some type of card that I could use later.

You don't have to go in store, but I believe its easier and quicker. You don't need an email to go get credit in store. Just tell them you pre-ordered and are there for the credit. I couldn't find a cheap prepaid phone to turn in. The cheapest I found was a AT&T iphone 4 on eBay for $50, that AT&T valued at $5 trade in credit.

I don't know if it's the same at every store, but the rep usually gets some form of commission on accessories.

My local AT&T store said I had to use all $200 on accessories in store and seemed shocked that I chose to keep the phone instead of trading it for a bunch of accessories I didn't want or need.
