Just got my essential 4 days ago. Amazon wanted me to return it and buy new one at lower price instead of refund the differences.?

you are lucky you live in the us and do not have to pay customs taxes.... I bought mine 2 days before the cyber Monday deal. because I live in Europe I was ****ed. I got a 99$ gift card but not the 360 cam.
so return it and let them bleed. not you!
After conversions and postage it came to about $600 Australian.
I just bought one on a whim, heaven help me. I could have bought something with a better reputation for that money, but I am just curious about this thing.

it's a great phone.
The initial performance and throttling issues are worked out.
When it first released I sent it back because a LG G6 would benchmark better.
Now running various benchmarks on Oreo B3 it benchmarks about as high as the theoretical limit for a SD835 device.
The camera is okay, but I own three APS-C cameras so I don't care if it's not the best on the market.

Amazon just pump it back to $499.00!
The Amazon offer is gone. It is back to $499.99
$449 now on Amazon.
I bought mine from Telus in Canada for $460, no contract. They are required by law to unlock phones upon request as well. $460 CAD is a lot less than $499US

I was hoping to get closer to $200 or lower.
I am going to keep mine. Sorry I can't go that low.
I might have a deal for you. Give me a day to think it over though.
anyone have one for sale under 200? Would like to get one for my mom for mothers day ^_^

The only gtab that was sold for under $200 on this forum had a cracked glass.
I think the retail stores are still $300+ tax so $200 is a little cheap. I can't see it going that cheap until way down the road. Even $300 since the eee pad is going to be $400 (if you can find one) is not unreasonable.
I have a sealed in the box I'd let go. $310 and I'd be happy, which is a few bucks less than retail at least.

I have one that I want to sell. It has the original OS so you can tweak yourself.
Asking price is $275.00

For sure you would be happy, but I highly doubt the buyer would be.
$310 right now is as unreasonable as these sub $200 requests, mainly because you can get one brand new in box with full 12 months manufacturer warranty shipped to your door for $275 all in from amazon.
Buy with any major credit card and you get another 12 months of warranty on top (for the same $275 all in).
That said, even at more common $300 (all in current gtab retail price), the extra $100 for a BNIB transformer is well justified (IMHO) given the IPS screen, native HC, built in GPS and docking ability.
To be fair, $250 with some accessories seems to be the norm on this board, which makes sense given that any of the accessories I have seen offered would have cost at least another $30~$50 (cases, docking station or skinomi's)
Would this get even lower ? hell yes, but not now, just wait till the transformer has enough stock for them to start sales.
As some has pointed before, your best chance at getting the maximum possible offer is a private sale to an unsuspecting neighbor via CL or Kijiji.
Best of luck any way ..
So, now that we know the introductory price is going to be $199 w/ a 2 year contract, I'm wondering how often AT&T drops the price after a few weeks? I know they've got the Sony phone coming out and, I think, another flagship phone from Samsung... who thinks somebody could save $50 or more by waiting a few weeks?
Thanks in advance!

It will be more than a few weeks before the device drops in price. 199 is a great price for this beast. Don't wait. You'll end up waiting a while.
Rabble rabble rabble.
If you're trying to buy it on contract, another option for you
would be amazon or walmart. It wouldn't surprise me if amazon
has it for 149.99$ on contract.
a lot of ppl were expecting this phone to be in the 249-299 price range, including myself. 199 is def a low starting pricepoint and I highly doubt its gonna fall with-in the first 4-6 months. there is no competition for it right now...the sony phone is def not competition, and the galaxy s3 is no where to be found as of yet. wait and def. be sorry
I also would say check with amazon, but i wonder if you get a defective unit can you return it to an at&t store or do you have to go thru amazon

You would probably either have to deal with HTC directly (RMA process) or go to an AT&T device center. I have a device center near where I live in the Seattle area, and I got my Captivate swapped out there twice with no delays and no hassle.

Yeah when my cappy crapped on me, I had to send it off to TX somewhere but on a side note they did send me a replacement first.
Personally I would wait. 199$ is cheap. but a few weeks down Costco, Walmart etc. those places dive those prices.. If you shop smart you'll linger around slickdeals or fatwallet and watch these phones drop to 99$ or 150$ quick.
I recall when the skyrocket came out it was what.. 250? My cousin got it for 79$ only 1 month in. It's really up to you
Good info! Thanks guys. I'm totally happy with the $200 price tag, but I won't be as happy if I see it for $150 a few weeks later. Good thinking about trying Costco, Walmart, and Amazon! I doubt I'll be able to wait long to get it - like most I'm pretty excited!
Thanks again!
Billy
I work for the "better" wholesale club...the list or place holder price in the system is 249...but I'm sure it'll drop to 149 with instant coupon. Radio shack has it for 149 pre sale starting on the 22nd.

It's actually surprising low considering the GN is still $299 on VZW and T-Mobile's selling the One S for $199 ($249 pre-rebate). The GN will be $199 on Sprint but you'll have to wait a year for a network to use it on.
For reference, in the UK they sell for:
$649 - One X
$585 - GN
$560 - One S
So at $199 either AT&T, HTC, or both really want to move some phones.

You are comparing unsubsidized UK pricing with AT&T's subsidized price. The One X is free on UK's T-Mobile, with a 2-year contract:

Don't have to wait for a price drop
You actually don't have to wait for a price drop, it already has at Target Mobile and Radioshack. They are offering $50 instant rebate off of all preorders.

The point was to show what the phones are worth based on their retail selling price. The most expensive phone (HOX) is being sold at the lowest subsidized price.

Gotcha. I was a bit confused because you stated subsidized and unsubsidized prices, without indicating which was which. But now I see your point, thanks for clarifying.
A major online retailer has lowered the cost of the Infinity by $11.00 usd.
Drives me nutz I always jump the fence on the gadgets I buy.
I ordered an Acer then watched that one drop by $20.00 two weeks later.
It's only money...I keep telling myself.

Amazon has it for $488.00
That's economics in action . Do you think it should stay at full MSRP continually.
i'm cool with 500 for the product. how much someone pay somewhere else or some other time is pretty irrelevant to me. if i wasn't happy paying full retail i wouldn't. i also wouldn't be enjoying the tablet right now if i took a deal other than what i have.
If you bought it from Best Buy they will do a price match for up to 30 days after you purchase it. I'm hoping to see it drop a little more so I can get a bigger refund
Naw

I know things drop in price and that's a good thing.
I was just whining about buying then seeing the cost dump within days of jumping in.
Price is always the determining factor when buying (usually.)
Be cool if Amazon would re-initialize their price match policy.
Getting a non-buggy tab is the main thing I'm thinking.

Yes, I can verify... It is a local store not online and the store should be sufficiently close. I did this with my TFP and got $50 off... \
P.S: Just reading TF700 forums to see if the problems on TF700 are worth the shift from my TFP to this.
Just noticed the price drop on Amazon. Emailed and asked for a refund of the difference and was denied (the rep was actually pretty rude too). Replied saying I just might have to take my business to best buy with a before and after price match, we'll see what they say. I spend a good $10k+ a year on Amazon, bad business.
Although Amazon is still the best option (no tax, free 2nd day shipping for prime members), they know it too...
Whew
I see Amazon has raised the cost.
These doodads must be selling like frozen pre-packaged hotcakes!

Okay, now after redeeming all the offers , I can safely state that HTC One A9 was brilliant value for money. Especially for those who bought it on pre-order.
Let's take a look at the pre-order price: That's 400 bucks.
With this we got 6 months google play subscription worth $60
2 years 100Gb Google Drive subscription(got a pop up today) worth $48
The uh-oh protection which is worth atleast $70 (that's the insurance cost of the Nexus 5x)
Which makes the actual phone cost ... $222 . Yep .. just 222.
:highfive:
would have preferred to have the fancy headphones also included...
And you didn't include the $100 coupon for HTC.com that those of us waiting for their red or gold models got. $122? Yep, good deal.

Me in Sprint, still waiting to receive my phone and promised to get $100 credit which can be used on any HTC products and additional 25% offer coupon. I'm planning to get $70 HTC studio headsets and $30 flip case after 25% off. Basically getting everything needed for $400
Is their a trick to get the $100 offer? I am waiting for the gold and never got that offer.

Ordered one, however it wasn't available for UK delivery, so ordered to a friend's home, and will hopefully either ship it to me or give to a colleague coming over. No rush to get it atm. But couldn't resist for $399 + tax .
It's said not for UK delivery but if you completed the purchase it does ship to UK ,mine has been dispatched
