I have had T-Mobile for quite some time now. I assumed they would follow the same pricing plan as all the other US carriers for the GS3. Not so much. They are charging $130 more for the GS3 than all the other US carriers. This is unacceptable as far as I am concerned. I might be switching to US Cellular in the near future.
While a corporation is a juristic person, they cannot die only go bankrupt.
And since T-Mobile and AOL share the same trait that they are practically invincible and timeless... big chance.
However I don't understand the point of your flame.
It's a corporate's given right to charge whatever they want for a feature, product or service (unless of course it's FRAND or otherwise restricted).
Just as it's your right to compare and choose between companies and pick your carrier.
It's like you're flaming about one grocery store selling the bread for 5p more than the store across town.
Also, if you run the numbers, you'll find its a LOT cheaper overall because the plans are so much cheaper. Just to move our 2 voice lines to minimum family plans (we've got 600+ mins now, but only use 100 or so) and basic data to AT&T was going to cost $50/mo MORE than tmob.
Also, IIRC you can go value and get it around the same price-point as other providers if you pay $20 extra a month on your bill.

Exactly. I didn't think twice about the higher price b/c of the massive discount. only thing closer is Sprint, but I won't see LTE in Denver for a year+.
Ordered my SGS3 Pebble Blue with 32 GB int. storage. I ordered by phone at 6:15 am Eastern Time. I paid with tax a little over 400 bucks.I get 50 back with mail in rebate I think. Very excited about getting this beast. Now I'm off to find a great case and there are tons available.
There is also a T-Mobile GSIII forum now to express your 'feelings' in. Just saying.
Yeah, but he REALLY wants T-mobile dead.
clearly he's a broke idiot

I DID HAVE TO ADD A LINE, which is 10 bucks plus the $25 internet for the phone to work... but versus the $350 dollar price tag that is a steal!
Here is the link I followed: http://wmdeals.com/
Enjoy!
If anyone is willing to do that for someone who lives outside US, please let me know!
it is a steal. i wish i would have waited a bit to find this out.
Just found out what Bluetooth headset I got for free with it!
Well I was tracking my order today and found out that the Free Bluetooth Headset they gave me is a Samsung WEP 350... it did not say a color on the shipped contents!

Not bad!
Why is the $50 credited back, any special reason or do you have to ask for it or something?
It WAS free in addition to the $50 credit this past weekend... no crying over spilled milk I guess but I jumped in on the last hour . $50 is stll a crazy deal but Im still amazed I got it for free + the credit and bluetooth - I'm wondering why the hell they would give me this phone for free with extras - maybe they have a quota to fill and needed to give it away to boost sales.
Think I am going to take advantage of this. I see the HD2 but the only thing that really interests me is the animated background and weather. Does the TP2 support that version of sense UITouch/TouchFlo3D, on custom roms Will it officially? ? Does it run smoothly? I am actually moving from android mytouch but this phone has always drawn me.. Thanks for any answers
got mine free on this deal
Got mine on Tuesday, and free was a great price. My BT headset was not a samsung though (plantronics) cant really b!tch about it also being free. The 10 bucks a month to add the line was still cheaper then getting the phone on an upgrade and I absolutely love this phone.
Woot
Just did this. $50 bucks for the phone. $50 Credit. $35 activation fee waived. Free Bluetooth Headset, Free car charger. Phone also comes with a wired headset and case from what the lady said. She did not say that the internet plan was required, but "suggested". Also I have 2 lines with Tmo and one is out of contract. I asked if I could get the new line. And Cancel Line 2 and xfer the phone number over. Answer: Absolutley, just call Customer service when you get the phone and have them file the phone number move/cancel.

Perhaps you should try calling the number to ask them about their current offer and number portability rules before posting?
Title is self-explanatory.
Initially this was the plan but since WP7 has no way to mass install apps, changing phones is always a pain.

If you need to reinstall apps, you can always use the marketplace order history website. You just click install for each one and it will remotely install it back onto your phone.

Since when is white feminine? Its elegant if anything
I was assuming he meant the entire nature of this post. It is a little useless. I mean, you bought it, now you want to pay more to get the white one? Just get a white case.
Got my girl the cyan one and myself the black one.
But the white one looks badass too!!
Wish they released a white bumper. That or a red bumper.
And it's not feminine to like color! Except pink...
I would go for the white
it seems some stores got them in already

There's a restocking fee? I believe there's a 30 day buyers remorse thing with ATT that allows you to return any device without a restocking fee. That's an a Premier rep told me anyways.

I heard there was a restocking fee of somewhere around $35 because they have to sell the device as a "refurb" unit after it has been used or so said the rep who sold me my phone.

That doesn't included trading in for a different color. They told me this when I purchased the unit. You can return it and you can exchange for a different phone, but not a different color.

try reinstalled. Not ideal, but faster than marketplace
Yes try the ReInstaller App. Will be much easier.
Just pay the $35 restocking fee and get the white one.
I almost settled for black one but held off for 5 days for cyan to get back in stock in local store. I was calling the store every single day. LOL

Got an HTC Sensation with ICS on it. Only thing thats slacking the front camera but it feels like im holding a One S. Just glad to be off Sprints uber-slow network and I'm only paying $30 a month using VoIP and Google Voice.

Yea no doubt this has nothing to to with ET4G! And how do you Talk S*&t on Sprint network for T-slowbile and their horrible network and throtleing, and the sensation is a decent phone but no where near what the Touch is! LMFAO T-slowbile hahaha horrible
Again as always these are my opinions not those of Sprints
thread FAIL

Ok i gotta add my two cents. Are you a freaking idiot? I came from tmobile to sprint 9 months ago. and sprint is byfar sooooooooooooooooo Superior to Tmobile in every aspect. I hope you enjoy there "4G Network" which is really just 3G on drugs. And also enjoy there data throttling after 2GB of use. And Also enjoy the Slow...sation. With its 768mb of RAM and its Qualcomm S3 Processor and lackluster GPU. You my friend are one smart cookie. Enjoy your downgraded device as well. Lmfao.

john!
i had to press down on the brakes to get my truck to stop!
he is on their prepaid plan which is 5GB data (2g afterwards), unlimited text, and 100 voice minutes.
you cant assume tmobile sucks everywhere, its actually good in some places. such as in chicago. my cousin averages 5-10mbps.
though sprint sucks in chicago (at least most places i go to. average 50-750kbps). wimax is decent but connection isnt reliable and kills the battery.
im actually doing the same thing. im contemplating in switching to their prepaid plan (but still with a sgs2, possibly a note if it comes out). just makes sense for me. much cheaper but i still get faster data speeds. id never go over 5gb as im usually on wifi but when im out and about, i need some sort of good connection.
dont use voice too much and voip might me a solution (gonna try it out for a month before i cancel sprint)
no need to hate on the guy, it is somewhat relevant as he switched from e4gt to another phone.

Supposed to compete with T-Mobile and Verizon and att.... Personally it like you're renting ya own phone since u gotta turn it in when u upgrade ya device... But then they say the high charges for plans is to cover the cost of the device ... So if we r renting the phones drop prices on plans ....

I saw this on g+ this A.M..I read its supposed to start this month on the 20th i believe. . And every 12 months you would be eligible for an upgrade ..So if this is tru i will be eligible for my upgrade at the end of October. ..
I don't c the value we still pay high premium for a phone that we don't get to keep and then get asked to go ahead and start a new payment on another phone that u can't wind up keeping ...unless u cancel but that a whole other can of worms ...

My question is if I put $200 down does it lower the monthly cost. And if I just buy my phone outright, can I still take advantage of cheaper plans.
Here is the pricing, looks competitive based on the other carriers.
Giving the phone back is only mildly annoying. I don't know about the rest of you but I have a drawer that is a retired phone graveyard. Just taking up space.
I'm sure some phones maintain their value for a while but getting your money back when selling it seems like a bit of a gamble and just plan irritating. Listing it on swappa or craigslist, dealing with people, negotiating a price. More work than I am interested in.

That's about the pricing I was hoping for, so that's a definite yes on my half. Can't wait! Even if that's not the pricing for it, I'll still probably fork over the extra for it.
Hell yeah!
How did you find that? Good catch...

This is a great price, I was thinking it would be in the $300 range but this is just icing on the cake for the features it packs!

Yes indeed. Hoping to get it the day the become available!
For a smartwatch? Ehh, I'm a bit more on the border about dropping 250 for that. It's cool, but certainly not worth it.
Eh.. it looks really nifty, and I'd love to have it. But if I were to spend $250 on this, I would feel kind of devastated inside because for $250 (and $50 more), I can get something like the new Nvidia Shield Tablet, or a Nexus 7.
I was pretty damn happy with $250 [emoji33]
Do you think this will be available in stores the day of release?
$250 is the right price point for me i hope its available day of announcement
$250 was the amount that I decided would be cutoff, anymore than that didn't seem worth it, so I'm glad it is right on point. I will be getting this watch the second it is available.
I think I'll end up visiting the local BB on release day in the hopes of getting one. $250 isnt a bad deal IMO. I love my tech toys.
REALLY hoping there's not a delay for retailers such as Best Buy.
Know there have been rumors about multiple options via Moto Maker. I just want the silver one, and I have my own bands to change if I choose to do so. BUT, if Moto Maker gets a significant exclusivity-window, I'll be annoyed. A day or 2 is ok, but week+ is ridiculous. They've delayed this enough. I just want to use my $50 Best Buy gift card!! hahaha.
On the Android Wear G+ community, someone "in the know" posted that the watch would be ready for internet order only on Sept 5th.

I wonder if that will be for pre-order or if they will be shipping..?
The only thing that makes me think that the Moto360 won't be physically available on announcement day is this...
I got bored and searched Amazon for accessories for the Moto 360. About 10-12 screen protectors popped up from different venders. All of them had the same date for product shipping availability... October 18. I wouldn't care otherwise but they all picked the same exact date.

Maybe Production hasn't started for accessories... i doubt they would send a dummy to then yet... maybe specifications but I dunno...
Looks great, but in my opinion is expensive for a watch that will get old in only months.
That's like saying your phone will only get old in months
