Without contract price?

There's an AT&T HTC One X on eBay that I wanna bid on, but I can't find the retail price of this phone anywhere. Amazon.com has it listed at $729.99, but that is ridiculous. I looked at wireless.att.com but they only show the upgrade price. Anyone have a better source?

It was listed at $549 without contract at my local store.

Awesome. Thank you.
Does your store have a display phone by any chance? I've heard some do, but I haven't checked mine.

At&t is $549 non commitment price it's on there web page.

I can confirm $550. I work for AT&T and for Android phones, the no-contract price is generally the upgrade price plus $350.

I never realized that, I thought some phones received better subsidies than others.

My store (ATT in Sonora, CA) does have the one X on a kiosk, as well as some other beats junk. Played for it for a few minutes in the store, and I must say, It's smoooooth as silk my friend.

None of the stores around me have one on display. It really sucks.

Amazon also has it for $549 no contract also. It's best for some since they don't charge tax for certain states.
Go to their Amazon Wireless page. If you use their regular site, it will just list the marketplace price.

I must have been in the wrong place then because the page I saw said $729.99 and $149.99 on contact.
But yeah that's why I thought about eBay; even if I have to pay full price there won't be a $36 upgrade fee or taxes. I'll do Amazon if this auction gets outta hand, but right now it's only at $250 so we'll see.

It's under the Wireless Amazon site. Here is the white one

I saw this:
List Price:$729.99 Price:$549.99
So they're completely lying about the list price to make it look as if they're saving you money.

It's not up for sale yet. But you can use an international credit card to pay for it. To get it shipped, you'll have to get someone to ship it to you.

Use https://www.tunnelbear.com & select US server

Or you could always wait for "water" products (imported) from the small stores. I was in Hong Kong this summer, the Nexus 7 2013 only took like 1 week from when it was on sale at the US play store. The typical price was around $2200 HKD for the 16 GB version, about a $400 HKD premuim. It'll probably cost that much paying double shipping by using comgateway.com or other mail forwarding service.

It will not cost sgd80 for forwarder...

im also from hk.. i think you should wait until it comes to hk.. the nexus 4 came in december costed 4k hkd which is good enough...

I live in Singapore where anything is subjected to a hike of around 30%-50%. The nexus 4 is sold here at sgd600+ at large retail stores... gpu can cost SGD 300 more

Actually, for Hong Kong users, it might be a really bad idea to buy from the US play store if any of you are planning to use it for 4G services. According to the LTE band thread, the UK version is a much better choice, mainly in that the US (D820) version of the phone will NOT work with 4G services in Hong Kong. Wikipedia says that the Hong Kong networks use bands 3,7, 40, the US version do not support any of these frequency bands, whereas the UK (D821) version supports bands 3 and 7.

Cheers!

Oh wow that's horrible! There have been users here that somehow get it shipped to a courier in a different country then shipped to them. Hopefully one can help you in your situation. I didn't know about the whole situation with Google in China. Best of luck to you!

I live in Shanghai and bought a US version 32GB for 3,000 RMB. I am aware that I won't be able to use LTE in the future, but I wasn't prepared to go for a HK version for near enough the same price and only 16GB.
I bought online from Taobao - http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a1z10.5.w4002-1856930535.34.1QlftW&id=35735211682 - A reputable seller who throws in a lot of freebies like screen protector, case, extra usb cable etc.
You will need a Chinese bank card to use though.
Otherwise I'm sure there are camera markets in Guangzhou where you can buy imported versions.

I've checked on that site before, but was looking for a physical store in Guangzhou City to go to! Hopefully there's a Hong Kong / ROW version because LTE is on 1800mhz here in New Zealand!
Thank you!

Buy from Japan and get it reshipped through jshoppers Tenso.
Or else wait a few days, Google Play HK is rumoured very very soon. Prices will be around HK$3.2k for 16GB and HK$3.6k for 32GB.

Costco member exclusive: $99 White S5 and $100 bill credit with 2 year contract

you're welcome, from your AT&T S5 neighbor!:good:

Just bought my VZ GS5 at Best Buy this morning. I saw this offer on the Cotsco website and talked to the BB manager. They agreed to price match this offer by taking $100 off the phone. I coupled that with the $50 upgrade credit I registered with BB for in February and walked out with a $50 SG5.

Amazon's going for 99.99 too - but, not in stock.
I tried getting Best Buy to price match to Costco or to Amazon, but they'll only price match on in-stock items.

Great deal you got

Argh!!! I had to go through the Verizon help center agent, and she did try to help me by referring me to Best Buy and using their online purchasing system. I live 40 miles north of Tulsa and "running into the local cellphone store" is not on the bucket list.
guess I will have to be glad that all of the upgrade fees were revoked, Best Buy gave me a value card towards future purchase.... Didn't match your deal, but better than going online at Verizon.

I bought the Note 3 from Costco last year and they only charged me tax off the sale price of the phone. Hope this is still the case. I'm thinking about adding two lines and getting the S5 for my folks.

its a little trickier... they will only charge you the "sale" price but they also tax you on the sub price so tax is over 50 bucks.

I cancelled the Costco order because the Amazon order shipped and arrived already.. both had the same price.
if you don't want to wait I would look and see if Amazon still has them in stock.
