I know that Touch Pro2 price on t-mo has not been annouced.
I have been with t-mobile for 2 years, so my contract expires anyday now.
I was wondering about upgrade pricing, are the upgrade prices usually the same as for new customers? or do they try to rip off their current customers?
also my plan with t-mobile is a family plan, two phones. Can both phones be upgraded? or is the upgrade only for one phone? One phone will be upgraded to TP2, other to something more compact.
Last question, when doing upgrade, you don't have to return old phones?

No you don't return you old phones and you can upgrade both phones to whatever you want.
I don't like the way they have made it to where people have to get the data plan for upgrades. They started that crap with the release of the G1. Even though I have a data plan, doesn't mean everyone wants it or needs it. Just another way for these networks to make more $$$..

this is what i have seen in many places as well.
where did you get the 299 poetry?
T-Mobile Reps said they don't know it could be from 250 to 300.
3G Required No Matter What.
You can check over at TmoNews.com. I read around on a couple on different sites, and the most consistent price estimate I've seen is 299.99 on a 2-year contract. Or 349.99 on a 1-year. aanndd I don't think 3G is required. :]. The data plan is for sure, though. I got to preview the Touch Pro2 and all its goodness at my local Tmo store. I asked the Rep about the data plan, and he confirmed it is required.
In my opinion, it's well worth it. I might have to sell my Shadow and possibly my G1 for the Touch Pro2. When you're 17 and work at a theme park, money doesn't always go too far. Gonna be a shame to see my G1 go. I've taken a liking to Android, but it's no competition for the Touch Pro2. Gotta do what you gotta do. Anyways, there's my two cents.
^ agree that these prices from the tmobile blog are about as good as it gets for this awesome ppc! Let us know if anyone hears about any pre-orders!!
Anyone want to bet that the price will be over 250?
price is going to be $299.99 w/ 2yr, each phone line is eligible for a full discount upgrade after 22 months and the data can be taken off after 90 days with out any contract complications (its been done with the g1 multiple times)

BlackAccord...when you say full discount... do you mean that if you are a special long-term client, you can get the phone for free?

no, i mean the 2 year contract price, the same price you would pay if you were a new customer... in really rare cases customer care is able to take off 5-10% the 2 year price but that is really rare

Correct
Not anymore
All data or All-in-One devices REQUIRE a data plan of either $24.99 or $34.99 and it's CONTRACTED! Even if you decide to use another device that doesn't require data, the data plan can not be removed.
The ONLY way to get around the data plan is to pay full retail for the device and that goes for any device. (Effective as of 06-03-2009)
Thats crap! I hope AT&T doesn't start that BS or I'm going to have to start paying ridiculous amounts for my phones on eBay! Why doesn't stupid HTC put all the bands in at once? Why DONT they want people importing them? I'm sure they make more profit on the unbranded ones AND they don't have to warranty imports.
Seem like a good deal, is it not? Also, would it work with 3G/HSDPA on AT&T and Media Net?
A TmoUS TP2 WILL NOT work on AT&Ts 3G at all, just EDGE. If you're with AT&T, just buy their Tilt 2
Damn, it was just intriguing for me because I was going to trade my Fuze plus $100. Alright, I'll just try and sell the phone for $300-$250 and put it towards the full price . No upgrade till 10/1/10.
AT&T mentioned something about me getting the 2 year contract price on a new phone plus $75. Anyone ever heard of this?

For the TP2? I doubt it unless that's a new customer price. Existing customers upgrade price is usually significantly higher but i don't know how att uprgrades work. Usually they advertise lower prices for new customers to lure them into a 2 yr contract. TMobile new customers get it for $149 but for existing customers upgrade it's like $350! Should be the other way around if u ask me.

just ask them for an early upgrade. if not then tell them that you want to cancel. im sure they will let you upgrade if you say you're gonna cancel.
I'm in a dilemma and in need of some advice. I'm in the market for a new Windows Mobile Phone. The last phone I had (The HP Ipaq 910c) went sour on me 3 times before I finally sold it off. I've been using a phone that's 8 years old for the past several months...trying to patiently wait for the Touch Pro 2 on AT&T.
Here's my problem...I'm on an unlimited data plan right now with AT&T that's relatively cheap. If I were to sign a new 2 year contract with them with the Tilt 2, my monthly bill would increase by about $30-$40 dollars with the new data plans they put in place. (I'm on a family plan). I'm due for an upgrade because my HP 910c was unlocked and I didn't have to sign a contract, but I still used it on the AT&T networks. I guess my question is...is there a way to do this with the Tilt 2 ...get it unlocked and still use the data plan I have without having to go through AT&T and have all the sluggish software they install put on the phone. Not to mention I was using CoPilot GPS on my HP 910c and I wanted to be still use that on my Tilt 2 (doesn't AT&T have the GPS locked or charge for the service?) ...I'm not the expert on phones and how carriers change things up so I apologize if I'm completely off in left field with these statements. I know you can also buy the phone...non commitment with AT&T for $550ish, but I'm worried they'd still charge me for some of these services I'm wanting. Soooooooo...
I've looked at these two sites who are selling an unlocked version of the AT&T Tilt 2:
($600) Negri Electronics: http://www.negrielectronics.com/product_info.php?currency=USD&products_id=2758
&
($550) Wireless Networks: http://www.ewirelessexperts.com/product_info.php?products_id=1361
Can anybody recommend one of these sellers and/or tell me if they are legit and point me in the right direction?
OR am I better off just signing a new contract with either AT&T or Verizon. I'm basically trying to find the least expensive way to get this phone and use it how I want to use it. I don't want to be paying extra for monthly services and data plans that I COULD already have available to myself. I really like Verizon's version (I've heard its the closest to the original HTC Touch Pro 2 as far as the software. And that there is virtually no carrier bloat pre-installed...not to mention there's a 3.5mm jack...but that's not a deal breaker for me) ...OR is there anyway I CAN get the Verizon version UNLOCKED and still use it on the AT&T networks somehow? I've heard the 3G bands are different. Could anyone confirm if this is even a possibility? (Also I'm wanting to run Windows Mobile 6.5 on this phone...so I need to take into account how much it would be to upgrade if I did take the Verizon route and when the update would be available)
I definitely want 3G...I know there are unlocked versions of this phone that don't have it and I want to STAY AWAY from that. I've also heard stories that AT&T can somehow detect now when you're using a new phone and switch your SIM card to a different model (and that they can change or start charging you differently if they catch you). BASICALLY ...is there a way to avoid all this and finally get myself an ever-so-lovely Unlocked Touch Pro 2? And...from WHERE?
OK here is the deal. If you want 3G then either find an unlocked version or pay retail for the ATT TP2 549.99. As long as you dont upgrade your account then you are grandfathered in for your data. I would pay the retail price which is cheaper then an unlocked version and then call ATT to get the unlock code. You can remove the bloat ware easy enough, Custom rom.
Does anyone know about the legitimacy of the Negri or Wireless Networks sellers? I'm skeptical to buy it directly from AT&T...Just having to deal with the additional software and having to unlock it...and them possibly noticing a change and changing up the price of my service...just seems like a hassle. I just wanna buy it, get it, put in my SIM card, and live happily ever after with no worries.

No matter where you get it after awhile your IMEI will reg on the system and they will know you are using a TP2. Even with an unlocked version of ATT touch pro 2 it will still come with all the att software as it is the only version that comes with 6.5. If you look at the screen shot it still has the ATT tab in TF3d. I cant say about those places but on the go solutions I have delt with and when I got an unlocked carrier version it still had all the bloatware installed. I called them and they stated that they only unlock them, they dont change anything else.
Will At&T just give you the unlock code... no questions asked? I thought they kept it locked for a reason. And if I buy it from At&T for $550 do I get any kind of warranty if say a part fails on the device?

They will give you the unlock code if you buy it out right and tell them you travel overseas. It will have the normal one year warrenty if you buy it at one of the stores. You can always add insurence to the plan when you buy it out right with in 30 days.

This only works if you've been with AT&T for at least 3 months. If you're starting a new plan/new account with AT&T, you have to wait 3 months before unlocking your phone. Otherwise, just tell CS that you want it unlocked for overseas travel.
i got my tilt2 directly from att for 425. dont have it unlocked yet, as i dunno if i want to keep the phone or go under a contract (prices are around 99 with 2yr). with contract prices so low, maybe it makes sense to pay the extra $10-15 for their new data plan? especially with att new data plan rules for all smartphones. I'd hate to pay full price and the have att bump me up 2 months or so down the line, when I can't return the phone..

If they bump up prices, you can call them and they HAVE to let you out of your contract, without any penalty at all
i recomend you buy a locked one and unlock it here using Olipro programs , are 100% safe , and locked phones are cheaper

Wow, way to go replying to a thread that's over a year old.
I was planning on getting an EVO 3D, but with the speaker problem and reception problem I keep seeing gripes about I think I may pass even if it does get full root.
Problem is I have two accounts that are eligible for full upgrade.
One is on my wifes which still has Touch Pro2 on Sero (which she wants to stay on).
And mine with a 4G I bought on Ebay on Sero Premium + $10.00
If I were to buy two EVO 4G's from sprint and not activate them (I might keep one for back up and one I might sell (ideally seal)). Will I screw up the discounts because they are not activated?
I do expect my contracts to reset. But I believe it's activation that triggers discounts and new contract.
I just called sprint and they said I'd get full discounts with no activations. Even on the Line that does not have a matching EVO 4G plan.
I dont mean to thread jack but i believe im wondering the same thing...
im eligible for an upgrade but i dont want to get the 3D and my wife is perfectly content with her Epic...so if i were to use my upgrade to get an evo then sell it and make a little money (i got a baby on the way) would there be any fees attached to not activating the phone?
That's exactly what I asked and he said no extra fees. I think it helps that all the "rebates" are instant. He even said sell it on craigslist if you want.
I wonder which will yield more profit, a 4G or 3D
If you use your upgrade to buy the phone whether you activate it or not you will lose your upgrade.

I am going to Pre-Order this phone when its available, however I have never done it.
Has anyone tried it with a phone in high demand? Like the Droid Incredible or the iPhone? I am just curious if I need to do it the very first day its open in the morning or am I safe to do it within the first day or two?
I bought my Dinc after its release and had to wait about a month to get it...PIA. I don't want to go through that again.
P.S. My upgrade isn't until March 3rd, but I was told I could maybe get an early upgrade. If not then one of my employees has a standard phone and no desire to upgrade so I could switch upgrades with him from what I understand.

I hignly doubt that the GN is going to be a "high demand" device.......but because the nexus is finally going "main stream" i think they will have a large supply....
My guess is that you'll be able to walk into a Verizon or Best Buy store and pick one up on the first day. Having one deliverd on the first day could be iffy.
i'm dropping my sprint contract a few months early, paying them $100 to do so, selling my evo 4g on swappa, and then getting in with flynn @ verizon the day of GN launch. $400 venture minus the profit i make on the evo (assuming less than $200).
I preordered my incredible from Verizon and was lucky I did with the crazy demand and supply issues the phone had. I have doubts there will be a need to preorder the nexus as it has more competition and no known supply issues like the Inc had.

when web only sale hits does anyone know what time they normally release phones? 12midnight? East coast or West coast time? Phone lines open at 6am east coast time because I had to get special permission to upgrade my wife 3 days early on the Droid 3.
I preorder a few verizon phones. You don't need to preorder it right away. You should be able to wait a few days to preorder and still get it day 1.
I have a $400 best buy gift card from doing a buy back with my nexus s. when this phone comes out, i will be buying my phone at best buy so i can get another buy back option plus I'll be selling my basically brand new samsung galaxy s2 + 32gb sd card + 2 batteries which should offset the 200 ETF to move over.
god, i'm gonna hate having a 2gb tier program.

yes you are. so.... why are you switching carriers for it? Do you really want to have LTE?
@martonikaj:
Like DammitCubs, I am also switching from T-Mobile. Truthfully, I am not that hard up for LTE, but there's an ongoing 3G/4G outage in my neighborhood that T-Mobile doesn't seem to be doing anything about. Take a look here for more info: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1223379
With regards to tiered data, I'm currently on a 5GB full speed plan with T-Mobile, but I've never gone over 2GB. I don't think Verizon's plan will be an issue.
Verizon is offering a 2 for 1 program. If you buy the 2gb for $30, you get 4gb!
