looking for cheap thunderbolt - Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

looking to get a thunderbolt with a 2 year agreement for cheap,does anyone think the thunderbolt will be free soon with contract or any specials?

No. The thunderbolt will never be free. Or not for at least a year it is a flagship device. You will have to wait quite a while for it to be free on contract.

Currently the only free smartphone in verizon is the Motorola Citrus with a 2 year contract. I wouldn't touch that phone with a 10 foot pole.
Any luck on craigslist in your area?

I think Amazon is around $149 now. Wirefly is $129.

I got mine from Amazon when they first came out for less.

How much did you pay?

How much did you pay for your Atrix through ATT. My contract is done and I can get a new phone, the best price I got from them with contract is 174.00
Anybody get better and where
Thanks
If you can wait for something better to come along. There should be some better choices soon.
Just got mine today, I paid full price ($500) for mine but as soon as my captivate is fixed I'm returning the atrix and waiting for the samsung infuse.

499 no contract
Paid $300 for both the phone and laptop dock. Right now there is 200 in rebates going on. $100 instant and $100 mail in.
I paid $250 for the phone and dock bundle.
Can you please give me details as to where you see the rebates and that sweet deal. 300 for both phone and lap dock.
Ask at any AT&T kiosk or store. I'll see what I can dig up for you this weekend.
Is it true that you can get this phone without contract for $500 but you have to be an AT&T and if you are not, the phone cost $599 without contract....Im getting my friend from US to buy this phone for me.

500. Really didn't want to extend my contract another 2 years. In fact, pretty certain I won't ever sign another contract on any carrier.
$150 on Amazon with upgrade.
$199 with 2 year upgrade at a at&t store. Phone only.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA Premium App
Paid 199.99 for the phone, with a new 2 year contract. Bought at the corporate AT&T store here.
£521 thats $833 includes delivery and unlock. Still... I am one of the first in the Europe and UK to get one. Great phone!
I paid U$S 875 for a unlocked one.
249.99 phone + lapdock w/contract Let's Talk (Walmart)
Price went to 449.99 the next day.

DNA only $150 now

I've noticed the DNA is only $150 at Newegg, Radioshack, and even more websites. They all have the same interface and seem to be going through wirefly (I think). Newegg promised 1 day shipping, but all of them also said "ships when available". Still a good deal though, if you aren't in a hurry.

This says new account. I guess an upgrade wouldn't count even though it will require a new 2 year contract-

Pretty awesome deal on an awesome phone
Just ordered one from radio Shack on Friday pm. Got a confirmation it shipped same day. It is 149.99 and with radio Shack you get a 10 cert for every 50 you spend. This was an upgrade also. New service is same deal too.

What is the lowest individual plan to go with this deal? I'm thinking of switching my wife's $40 dumb phone plan on Sprint over. Thanks.

There are radio buttons on the right for more options. The price is the same for upgrading
If you order using wirefly use coupon code WIREFLYBLUE83 to get free Bluetooth headsets for however many phones you purchase at that time. There cheap $20 ones but hell there free, I think it's the renegade mini if anyone was curious.

Sprint early upgrades

Any one heard of corporate stores doing early upgrades this year for premier members like they did last year in December
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
Usually they want a early upgrade fee...it is based on how many months are left on our contract... its resonable ....usually

Last year it was a special promotion. Early upgrades,no strings attached. Got two iPhones without any extra buy out charge. Both lines had 6 months left.
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
I just did an early (3-1-2013) for one of my lines. Had to pay $50 bucks, plus give them my Google Nexus Phone (which they gave me $28 for it) and I bought the S3, out the door $264. I was going to buy a new/used one on CL for $400, so that was a killer deal to me....btw I just did it yesterday adn I do have a biz account
The giving them your phone part is the real kick in the nuts. To Hell with that.
You pay the early upgrade fee to make up for the remainder of the subsidy and still have to give the phone up, they are smoking some good crack.

thats how i got this phone.. i had the evo 3d.. i had 1 year left on my 2 year contract.. it cost me 150$ for the early upgrade and 200$ plus tx for the phone... then i sold my evo 3d on craislist for 130$.. so it cost me 150$ to upgrade 1 year early.. i didnt have to give them my other phone at all.. i sold that **it!!:good: ima do another early upgrade if i can when the next evo comes out in the summer i need a new phone every year.. i get bored fast plus i need that newest toy

what does the htc one cost for existing tmobile customers?

I can't check via their website since I don't have my number yet.
Thanks
it costs $580, for new and existing customers.
with well qualified credit or over 2 year tenure you can put $100 down and pay the rest over $20 installments for $24 months.
If you're on an older plan and think that sounds crazy visit your local T-Mobile store so they can explain it fully because it's alot better than an upgrade used to be.
Its not crazy considering a famil plan is $110 for for 5 lines now. Tmo rocks
Sent from my LS670 using Tapatalk 2
If you have good credit it will be 99 down and 20 a month to pay it off. If your credit isn't as good it will be 280 down but only 12.50 a month to pay it off. If you are on a grandfathered plan, at most you might be paying the same thing monthly that you are now, but usually it ends up being cheaper than you are paying now and you get a lot more for your money.

If you stay on classic, which we did because we have killer data deals for being customers forever, you can do upgrade pricing at Wal-Mart or Costco. It's not at Costco yet, but it's $150 for new contracts or upgrades.
The value plan seems to usually be cheaper, but if we can get the one for $50 (it's $150+tax and then the $100 rebate from htc) on a couple of our lines it's worth it to us to pay an extra $10/month.

If you are talking about the HTC phone trade in program, be wary. That program is extremely strict and if they deny your phone for any reason, you get an adjusted rebate or 0 - either way, you just gave up your phone by sending it in. In most cases, a CL, Swappa, or eBay sale would be much better.

Thanks, I tried to read all the fine print and we're sending in an old, rooted G1 for my wife so I'm not too worried, but now I'm rethinking my S3. I prob could sell it myself for more than the $210 they're offering.

S3s in great condition sell very well - usell quoted me 198 for my 16GB and you can usually bump that up 15-25% on a CL sale.

They go for much higher than that on eBay. It's the best place to sell it, all the other guys are middle men who take a cut and just list it in eBay

Was looking foward to getting it at Costco until the rep informed me today that they won't be selling the T-Mo One. At least for now.

The G2 is not even a month out and already has price drop

I am shocked that the price for the G2 has dropped for a phone that just came out on 9/12

Amazon will do that a lot even with brand new phones. I can't say that I'm surprised to be honest...

Same goes for Note 3... it's really not that crazy. Amazon wants you to buy through them, so they beat other prices even on new phones sometimes. Amazon is awesome like that

Just shocking that the price came down that fast. To think I paid full retail for mine so I could keep my unlimited data.
In Singapore, a few days ago, it was about 730 dollars. It's 715 today with free OTG, screen protector and official LG window case. I'm getting a brand new one for 650 without the freebies. It would have been 700 couple of days ago. But I'm not complaining.

Who is this shocking to? Anyone who had any slight of a experiences in buying an LG device should have known that.
This was exactly the case with the Optimus G and the G pro. Hey even the HTC One went down in price the first month.
Shocking? No not really

I was reading a lot of posts on the Verizon Community form that there is a bad batch of G2's out there where folks have not been able to use their phone due to a bad SIM. I bought mine day 1 and I have not had any issues.
Par for the course, welcome to getting a phone as soon as it comes out. You wanna play early your gonna pay.

Right. Only phones that don't do that are Apple's but we already know why they don't discount any of their merchandise
I got my GS3 for $149.99 from Radioshack about a month after its release.
Note that this is the case for subsidized pricing which is simply the retailer cutting into their margin since the carrier kicks something back for the new contract or re-up. You never see msrp come down like this.

Samsung Note3 was launched in India for INR49990 with in 15 days the price has come down to INR47990. what's the big deal. if the product is good & the user is satisfied, it's worth the money else even for free, the phone is not worth it.
amazon does penny phones that are brand new too. when the dna came out, I think, or the rezound, one of them, it was a penny like a month after it came out... and they were both high end phones at the time. why is anyone complaining that there's a price drop?
hell, from day one if you went to Verizon online and used their 30 percent off code, the phone was only 140, which is what I paid for it.
