I would love to purchase this device new, not used on Swappa or the like. Has anyone had any luck since T-Mo discontinued it?

Maybe call up all of your local stores and ask if they still have any in inventory? They might still sell them.
Try Amazon or eBay. I bought a replacement Sprint G2 factory sealed on eBay as an example. Just make sure sellers have at least 100+ sales with 95-100% positive feedback sales so you know they are reputable.
All the tmobile stores I been to still have them. I'm in NYC btw...

Hi,
Wondering if there are any other members out there who are importing the T-mobile Sensation 4G into Canada?
Maybe we can share our experiences and figure out the best options.
The device will have to be sim unlocked, thus far there has been only one confirmed site to have working unlock codes.
http://www.unlock-network.com/
Lowest price online is $579.50, but still in pre-order state. I am assuming that will change on the official release date of 06/15

I have never dealt with them, just found it doing some searching. Any info on this company?
I bought one on Ebay for $590. Hopefully I will receive it by Friday.
Congrats!
Was it unlocked for $590
If so that seems like a very reasonable price.
How much was the shipping?

Unfortunately it wasn't unlocked but I will definitely try the unlocking site you provided since It seems to have worked for one individual.
Shipping was $19 for USPS priority mail, so I paid a total of $609 USD
Hopefully the strike wont affect my package.

I have a US social security number as I went to college in California. I will try to get it on contract and cancel after 15 days. With ETF it will be close to $400.
Got mine from omega cellular (i. Think thats the name) in Edmonton. Paid 650 i beleive plus $10 overnight fedex. Came unlocked. Works perfect on wind.

any updates on any of those unlocking websites?
which ones cheaper/faster/etc?
So a quick update on my end.
I ordered the phone off expansys.ca on Friday night.
Not the cheapest of sites, but felt it was worth it in case of issues and I need to do returns/exchanges.
With HST it came to ~$671 (I also paid for express shipping)
Its supposed to come unlocked.
Here is the link... expansys.ca
if you do decide to order from them, the only other tip is coupon code LSJUNE10 will get you 10 bucks off (I assume it expires at the end of june?)
Will update once I get it
i ordered mine off tmobile, which means that i will have it LOCKED on tmobile.
still looking around to find a way to unlock it
If you're in Vancouver, you can buy it from CellworldCo for $529 + tax unlocked! That is cheaper than the T-mobile price of $550 + $20 for unlocking.
They ship elsewhere in Canada for $30.
I bought mine at pacific mall $600 no tax with free car charger. its sim free unlock. There is another sttore at pacific mall that sells it for $600 tax free with free car charger, screen protector and case but they were out of stock.
Ahhh good to know there are still nice deals to be had at Pacific Mall... Haven't been there in years

So my sensation order with expansys is not going so well. After jumping through hoops today to get the alternative shipping address cleared they said the bank won't authorize the charge?
So I think I am going to cancel this order and give cellworldco a try unless there are better deals out there?
Too bad I'm not heading to Toronto anytime soon or I'd give pacific mall a shot, does anyone know if those tiny stores have a website?

My local Walmart dropped T Mobile in the past week. The Best Buy mobile store at my local mall has as well. Do they know something we don't know? Just seems funny. Is Tmo still at your local wallyworld?
Out here in northern California, you haven't been able to buy T-Mo at Best Buy for a couple of years. I think it's nothing more than a contractual thing cuz you can still buy T-Mo at Fry's. Could be that T-Mo didn't want a big chain retailer competing with them or just that they wouldn't cut the deal that Best Buy wanted. The other thing you could try is to ask someone at Walmart. They may not know but you won't know till you ask.

Those two are the most consumer unfriendly store out there - it is all about margin (on everything ate WB and big ticket items ate WW). If they are not squeezing enough out of the deal - the would drop anyone.
Tmo deals are available everywhere (best ones directly for TMo retention), so probably getting hard for Worst Buys and Wallyworld to skin off enough from their sales.
Was at a WalMart last night (not my regular WalMart) and saw the T-Mobile display there. My local, regular WalMart still carries it, also. So, it must not be universal.
Sidenote: This was the first WalMart that I had ever seen an actual wireless department set up outside of the electronics department. It was in the front of the store, so it was like one of those mini-stores inside WalMart, and they only had Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile. Maybe it is like a previous poster said, for the stores that no longer carry T-Mobile, WalMart and T-Mobile may not have been able to come to a contractual agreement that everyone could agree with.
ETA: It could be the same as the scenario where my former employer is an eyeglass & contact lenses retailer, and used to have their own spots inside WalMart. About 10 years ago, WalMart decided that they wanted to launch their own eyeglass & contact lens min-store inside the stores. So, as each one of our store contracts ended, WalMart was not renewing them, thus allowing them to do their own thing.
Walmart here in lexington ky had tmo for years! They recently dropped it and sprint has taken over there spot!
Two WAL-MART I was at yesterday still were selling the phones.

interesting. I've heard that Walmarts sell a lot of regional stuff based on local needs. But I would've thought that their TMobile contracts would be based on their huge customer base. Sprint is what the clerk said took up Tmos space here as well...
Both Worst Buy and Wal-Crap sell TMO products here in Los Angeles.
best buy hear in south texas hasn't sold t-mobile for a while.but walmart still does. they even have their own brand that can only be bought at walmart Straight Talk that runs on t-mobile network.
I saw tmobiles site and they have the g2x for 360
Pretty good deal if you ask me, would u get it?

If you want a refurb or quality used unit from a reputable supplier try eBay seller alltechwholesale. They are the company that powers eBay instant sale and handles trade-ins and returns for large companies such as Radio Shack. I have bought many devices from them, including my mint condition G2X for $255 plus shipping, and the condition is always better than they state in the auction description. I am in no way affiliated with this seller other than being an extremely satisfied repeat customer. Plus if you buy this way you can do a T-Mobile value plan with no contract and pay less per month. If you don't mind a contract the refurb units on TMO's site are now only $49.99 with online discount and rebate, and new ones are currently $149.99.
I'm not buying it on contract, I'm coming from Canada and bringing it back to use on a Canadian network.

Then try the eBay seller listed above. Units in very good to mint condition are going for $250 to $280 (some still in boxes), depending on the bidding. $10.99 delivery to Contiguous USA addresses only. I got mine and had it reshipped to
Thailand. Got the unit for over half less the new 2Xs sell here for in Thailand and got the Vanilla Android and GB also. New 2Xs here are still sold with Froyo also with GB nowhere in the sights.
Why don't you buy a Wind Mobile unit? There are the same exact model, P999, with no TMO bloat.
Cant find it, can you post the link to the seller please?
And i dont want the crappy LG overlay i want vanilla android, and i heard the wind optimus didnt get gingerbread

Just go to eBay, do an advanced search on seller for "alltechwholesale". All of their current listings will come up.

I'm up for a phone upgrade with Verizon and am wanting to get a Razr M for it's superior specs over my Droid 2 and the fact the Razr M isn't the size of a 5 subject notebook like so many of the new phones seem to be now.
That said I know I can get it from Verizon, but have noticed Best Buy and Radio Shack both have the phone. I've heard bad stories about Best Buy screwing up peoples contracts or accounts and haven't heard good or bad about Radio Shack.
Also right now the Razr M is free AFTER rebate from Verizon if I visit their store while I believe Best Buy and Radio Shack both are free out the door.
What are your thoughts? Is there another, better, place I should go and renew?
Costco. Hands down. Free accessory bundle with every phone, USUALLY cheapest price in town and a 90 exchange period. No brainer.

Amazon.com
I got a very reasonable price from ebay because the legal backing from PayPal. PayPal will back the buyer in the event of a misleading advertisement. You still need to be careful and do your research, but ebay has my vote.
Depends on which manufacturer
Costco is good. Amazon maybe?
If you are willing to do it online then checkout wirefly or amazon wireless
If you want it in person then give best buy a try. The reason you hear so many horror stories is because they are the most popular non carrier store to get phones. They get it right more often then they get credit for. you don't have to worry about that rebate crap and they can set it all up if your not too tech savy. Plus occasionally they run promotions where people who upgrade through them get a $50 prepaid visa debit card
I worked at a Verizon store, trust me. I've had to deal with plenty of ****ed up accounts another vzw retailer screw up.

I made some good deals on ebay as well as "ebay Kleinanzeigen"
Had anyone found a retailer that sells either version the z3 for AT&T on contract or Next? I'm on Verizon and today they lost my business permanently. I want this phone but T-Mobile is no good in my area. I need to change to AT&T but I didn't realize they don't sell it. I need to buy one for me and another for my wife so buying them outright is really not an option. Thanks!

AT&T doesn't currently offer any Sony phones on contract and haven't since the Ion about three years ago.

Thanks! I was hoping to find a third party selling it like Wirefly. Sometimes they sell phones not sold by the actual carrier but I haven't had any luck

Sony Store appears to offer financing. I bought outright and use on AT&T (wife and myself) and its great. Also paying about $50 less per month because of it. So you could probably finance it out and pay about the same.
Expansys-usa is where I bought mine. Anyone who walks into a phone store and buys a smartphone is stupid (imho). Unless of course it's the cheapest one they sell.
As long as you're the account holder just call them and have them send you a nano sim card. Once you get it call back and activate it.
