I haven't seen anything confirmed yet either, but this user says its $450:

i just pre-ordered my phone at radio shack today.
The no-commitment price of the phone will be.... $450, (better than the speculated $500)
i can confirm this as, i am buy the phone no-contract and i personally read through all the literature that radio-shack hands out to their employees about the phone and it's pre-order (im not a radio shack employee, it was just on the counter as the guy helping me had no clue how to pre-order at the no-commitment price)
so radio shack here i come on sunday!!
p.s. as everyone knows, radioshack is offering a $30 accesory credit when you pre-order the phone, which at their prices basically means a free case

Tonight someone is reporting that $399.99 is the price:
http://androidforums.com/htc-inspire-4g/275826-399-99-confirmed.html

Yep, $399.99 at at&t COR. BestBuy and Big Box stores usually sell it for a lot more off contract than COR does.

Ok thanks for the replies guys. Hopefully it is 450.

I think you mean hopefully 399...
God knows I hope that is right, and I'm an atheist!

Wait so just to confirm- AT&T is selling the Inspire on the 13th and probably around 400-500 dollars? Sounds like a much better deal than best buy!!!

Yup, kirbo said 399 at AT&T corporate retail stores. That makes me quite stoked.

If its 399 at att corp then I will deff sell the i4 and get one and take my profit and save money on a touch for my media

Wow I really can't believe that ATT is gonna be selling it for less than Radio Shack. Thats, Wow, all I have to say is Wow.

I can confirm a $599.99 price at Best Buy.
Not sure why its sooo much higher than ATT COR

Yea we do price match any local store with the device in stock...however the managers might have to look twice about taking a whole $200 off.

A friend of mine works at an ATT store. Its $479.99 off contract according to him

just talked to one of my best buys and they said that all I would need is an online document or printout of atts website with the non-commitment price and they will match it.

Verizon Early Termination Fee is $175 - Stick it to the man

Verizon has made a critical error in giving us our phones. They made the contract early termination fee dependent on the device being on the advanced devices list, but then forgot to put it on. That means that the early termination fee is $175 not $350.
So I say...cancel your phone. Put it on ebay. Buy another. Make sure they know it's because of the locked bootloader. Make them hurt. And go buy a developer edition off contract.
Here is the advanced devices list. www.verizonwireless.com/advanceddevices and the SGS III is not on there.
And here is what you signed

I don't know about anyone else but my receipt for my pre-order phone shows an ETF of $0. That certainly falls within the phrasing of "up to $175" or "up to $350" which I believe is what one agrees to when signing the new contract.

I actually had the same thing too. I will be doing this if we can't get an unlocked bootloader by the first week in August.

While no one devs for the developer edition? I'm not going out and wasting that much on a cellphone and most wont.

I'm not returning mine but I'd just call and refuse to pay that they miss-sold us and did not notate any differentiation from the Galaxy S3 experience.

the galaxy nexus is not on that list either?

Neither is the Razr Maxx. Must be outdated.

Interesting...
Does anyone have a new customer agreement in their "My Documents and Receipts" area?
I do not. I have my previous agreement, which expires 7/6/12. I also have an equipment upgrade document for the S3 which specifies an ETF of up to $175, but has a disclaimer stating in case of an error, my customer agreement will govern over that document.
Did anyone get a new customer agreement in that section, maybe it isn't available until the first bill after the upgrade.
For the record, despite the GNex not being on that document, my customer agreement for when I purchased that phone states an ETF of up to $350.

Verizon's etf on sgs 3 is 350. I just checked a handful of my customers accounts(I work for Verizon) and they all said 350 for termination fee. I've seen Verizon do worse though

Upgrading to Moto G worth it?

Hi guys
Would it be worth going from Samsung Galaxy SII to a Moto. It seems like a grea but Im not sure its worth it. Is the camera better or worse then
current GSII.. Don't need it for music youtube alot..
Thx guys.

Well Moto G is an upgrade from the GSII, specially if you consider that the Motorola hardware and bechmarks are compared to the GSIII, although Moto G is 175$ cheaper. The only thing that you would miss upgrading is the camera, the GSII camera is pretty good even these days.

Touch control the only bit
It is worth it, cheap, unlocked and feels great in my hands if I could install touch control I would no miss my nexus 4 at all. The battery seems to be better than the nexus 4 too.
I say go for it.

Is ti worth paying $275 cad for it with in store activation.Activation is $35. Either that or Telus charges $60 to take device without activation.

Another Canadian user here -- depending on where you are, you can buy an unlocked Moto G from the US website (can't post a link, but google "Moto G" and it's the first or second result), as long as you can get it shipped to a US address. Then it's just a hop across the border away.
Other thing is, I don't know about Telus, but I did call Koodo when this phone came out and the rep said that if I bought the phone from them, it'd be SIM-locked to Koodo. I see that you're on Telus, but if having an unlocked device is important to you, you might want to get it elsewhere.

I bought from Koodo for $200 outright, plus tax, the week it came out. The Telus stores refused to sell outright, and when I pushed it I was told I could buy outright from the Telus website, or wait a few months. A 2nd store said they could sell outright in a week or so.
I think Google/Motorola's deal requires carriers to sell outright if asked, which is why Telus website outright buys had to be allowed.
Here in Canada we're SUPPOSED to have new regulations in place requiring carriers/sellers to unlock them on demand, more or less immediately I think, with no charge, if you buy a phone outright.
That's my read on the new regs, I'm not sure how right I am or how well that's going yet.
Anyway, it's only a few bucks to get an unlock code on EBay or wherever.

Do not get it from Telus, try going to FutureShop, Best Buy, or The Mobile Shop. Buy it from Koodo on a $150 tab, activate, get $100 in gift cards, then cancel after 30 days. It's a lot cheaper and you don't need to sign a conttract.

Damn, I guess they have switched to in-store only pricing.
For the money that Telus wants, I would look into getting it from the US via Amazon or Motorola. It should be unlocked and you could get the GSM or international version.
I'd say the Moto G is a definite upgrade over the S2.

Been looking at ebay I may just bite the bullet and pay $200 for phone $10 for sim and activation fee. I guess Moto G is considered a contract phone as live chat says I should not pay either of those fee's.

[Q] Buying Nexus 5

I decided to buy a Nexus 5 (16GB version), in my country (Eastern Europe) it is about $625 (including standard 2 year warranty).
And one of my friends told me that he'll be visiting Japan, so I want to make him buy for me. If he can find one i estimated the price to be around $475 including the registration fee and taxes to my country, but I learned that the warranty would not be valid in my country. And my friend does not know too much about these devices.
So would it be worth the risk, or should i just buy from my country?
Thanks.

Well, it seems to come down to whether the two-year warranty is worth $150, which works out to $6.25/mo. I would say that's a pretty good deal.

Hi mate,
First thing, Nexus 5 is a very good and rocking Android smartphone
Buy it from your country so that you won't be void of the warranty

Who is getting one ?

I am wondering if the camera is an upgrade from V40. I am also wondering if the Quad DAC tuned by Meridian sounds as good or better than V40.
Who else is ordering?
I can see them listed on ebay. Very tempting.

Check Wonda Mobile, it may not be the European version but it's a lot cheaper, so waiting for the price to drop or when more LG G8 become available!

I'm in Canada. My carrier is Bell mobility. Bought the Korean version LG V50 with dual screen as a package. Bought it on eBay. I'm loving my day to day use on it, it's a excellent kickass product.

Sadly not available in the UK via eBay, I wonder how it compares to the G8 as this would be my first LG phone.

In the UK the V50 will be quite pricey on contact so Wonda might be an option. I'm weighing up getting the V50 or something like the Lenovo Z6 Pro which is getting a global release this Thursday on Aliexpress - Lenovo's official store having a sale I think. Lenovo Z6 Pro is only £400 - looks a great bargain.
Both LG and Lenovo don't have a great track record of updating Android but Lenovo might be improving as two updates have been issued since the Z6 Pro was released in April.

After getting the phone I received an email from fedex with a £25.00 charge for import duty.

Forecast price in UK is £805 for the handset only and over £100 for the second screen. I can't find a price for the second screen by itself.
I think I'm on or about the price it will go for in the UK. However EE have exclusive rights in The UK or at least they say they do so I don't know if you will be able to buy a sim free phone in the near future in the UK.
