Anyone bought the kaiser at a decent price recently?

Has anyone bought the kaiser at a decent price recently? From the feedback in the forums, tursted web stores are a lot more expensive Even ebay is getting expensive...

I got mine from Orange (in the UK). My contract just expired - I spend about £50-80 per month and I negotiated 300 minutes, 500 text, 30MB data per month with unlimited data at evening and weekends for free, plus I got the phone for free as well!
The only other vendor in the UK that I know is selling the Tytn II is T-Mobile. Hit Orange with T-Mobile's web n walk service and they will probably bend a little, especially if you talk to the cancellations department - they will do everything they can to stop you leaving...

I got mine from egadget depot .com price match available and honest merchant with fast shipping.

Cheapest I found was £428 inc P&P at http://www.handtech.co.uk/

Att website has the TILT for a reasonable price:
http://www.wireless.att.com/cell-ph...etails/?device=AT&T+Tilt(TM)&q_sku=sku1060009

I own a small business. I recently moved 25 lines over from Sprint to AT&T. This was via an authorized dealer (AT&T franchise). They gave me my Tilt for $300.00 bucks. I will never deal with a corporate store again. It's almost like they have more freedom to do what they want in order to win business. My friend moved his family plan over from Tmobile to AT&T with the same franchise and they gave him the same deal as me.

Got mine from craigslist. Brand new at&t tilt for $400.00 even. best deal ever.

got mine for 300 euro's at a place they call the black market they sell all sorts of things before the official release date and for a reasonable price oya and thats only the phone with no contract or monthly payment it used to be the vario 3 but i sim unlocked it and flashed it with the dutch rom

In case you hadn't noticed the OP didn't say he wanted to buy one - he asked if anyone had "got one at a decent price" - I had and simply answered his question.

There getting 499.00 at the att stores here. Retail ,no contract needed.
Add in 6% tax and 15 bucks to unlock it and your at 534 grand total.
Just walkin and walk out with a new phone.
What gets me is how someone would pay over 600 plus shipping on Ebay for the same thing (locked to att also). And theres alot of buy it nows on ebay over 600 bucks for a tilt. I must be missing something, I dont understand that.

OK whats the lowest price available for the tytn ii not the att tilt?

2 weeks ago from an AT&T store in NYC featuring a special $50 additional discount for 3 days - paid $350 + tax less $100 MIR = $250

just paid $99 us off HTC website

care to explain the details?

I have bought 4 units so far for family and friends. For Shops I would recommend Inkino Ltd at 48 Tottenham Court Road and 9 Great Russell Street. They recently had deals for HTC TyTN II P4550 Kaiser and 6GB Micro SD for £499.95.
I have also bought a unit from www.htcdirect.co.uk I was impressed with their speedy service, responses to my email queries and the unit turned up very nicely packaged. I will be using them in the future too. The only reason I went with HTCDirect was that Inkino had sold out at the time. Its always good to know more than one good source.

AT&T Tilt's purchase within 30 days 50% refund today and tomorrow only!

Sorry if this is redundant to Black Friday post but I thought it was worthy of attention.
If you have purchase an AT&T tilt within the last 30 days, the original purchase point will credit you back 50% of purchase price today through Sunday only! (Fri.23, Sat.24, Sun.25))
I just got them to credit back $150 to my account! I thought that the credit was post rebate, which would have made the credit $100, but I got the full $299 price reduced by half! SCORE!
Everyone that can should take advantage of this rare gift from AT&T.

i believe it's only certain states that get the 50% off.

same here I'm in Missouri and I bought mine on the 13th this month, so maybe they'll drop the prices here in a week or so.

I called an ATT store and they said there's no credit back or any discount on a purchased tilt!!

what if you ordered the tilt from the premier site?? Does this count for a 50% refund?

30 day price matching
I had to physically go into the store but others were able to call in.
Don't let them bull**** you and tell you otherwise, everyone is eligible, the caviat being it had to purchased from AT&T direct.

Do you live on the west or east coast? I'm on the east and went to the AT&T Tilt page on their site. If I put in my zip code, it's still $300. If I put in a zip code from the west coast (I tried San Francisco, California), it's $150.

Called ATT just right now and they credited my account 150$. It took me 45 min and asking for the supervisor to get to it. Now im just waiting for the 100$ rebate to sweeten the deal.

I was only able to get $100.00 but I ordered it back in mid Oct. so I missed the 30 days by 5 days! But then I'm not going to sneeze at $100.00!

I just (2 hours ago) bought a tilt from ATT website for 399 w/ 100 rebate. R u telling me I can get another 150 back? I dont care if it took two hours - I would love to get my phone for 150. What is the offer info?

Damn I order it back when it first came out.

just add an additional line for $149 after $100 rebate

Can someone give me the info on the deal? I can find the 50% off select phones, but I cannot find any HTC, much less Tilt incl in the offer. I would like to get 150 back - who wouldn't? - and if I have the info I will, but what am I going to say, "People on the forum are getting it - why can't I?"? I am not too confident with that approach. If you got the deal there had to be an offer - so where can I see the offer besides word of mouth?
Please.

I just went in and purchased the Tilt and got the 50% offer. Now as mentioned it's in 'select' states but I think a simple call to a local office should suffice. I will say that when I went in, it was marked at that price too. It's basically $249.99 with a 2yr Contract (new or eligible upgrade) less the $100 mail-in rebate... here in Sacramento, CA... so net price of $149.99 after rebates + tax.
As to the refund... well I'd think you'd only be eligible to get that as if you were going to return it and re-buy it. Under that criteria, if you can do that, then you should be entitled to the refund. If it was purchased online, etc., not too sure what the specifics would be...

Thanks! I will check it out tomorrow. For sure.

Good luck! If you're within 30 days, there should be ZERO reason for them to give you any problem - provided it was from an AT&T Corp store. I'd position it as 'Well I can just return it and then re-buy it.' Maybe choose better wording but you get my point...

the torrent of swears that i have to unleash because i bought my phone 2 days too early would without a doubt get me banned from this forum.

hmm..i vvas gonna ask this today but too busy vvorking at the mall...ill ask tomorrovv

FOR SALE: Kaiser with Dutty's ROM installed

hey guys,
I was about to put this up on ebay but then I suddenly decided to offer it up on here since it is this place that helped me get it up and running with a good ROM in the first place.
I have used this tilt for less than a week. I have never dropped it and there are no scratches. I used it for the BB connect and when it comes to BB nothing does it better than an actual BB. while the Tilt is better than the BB in every other way... I realized that I never use anything else the phone offers.
anyway... I can provide pictures if you want. I just need to take a couple good ones (attached ones I took with iPhone are all blurry).
I have all of the original packaging. I also have a new never opened 3-in-1 2gb Micro SD card (Sandisk) and Car Charger (ATT Branded) to go with it.
Im not looking for any specific price... just make me a reasonable offer.

Is there a reason you don't just return it?
Ok I have heard of people getting these for several prices so reasonable could be any number. I'll give ya $125

because I hate dealing with AT&T customer service and would rather take a loss than go through the pain.
I honestly dont need nor care about the money.
Will even take a trade if its interesting enough
and I would rather offer a good deal to someone on this board (lots of great people here) than give it back to ATT.

ill offer 126.00 because i can get it thru premier for 150 but id rather not give att any more money then the 300$ each month i give them
on a side note you should try selling it on hofo i let a tilt go few months ago for 510$ shipped on there..granted it was NIB but still

126$ isnt off the table... but would anyone happen to have a GPS unit Like a garmain or tomtom) they would want to trade for it?

does this phone still have warranty through at&t? like is the imei clean?

no reason it wouldnt be. came direct from ATT. arrived March 21 and I started using it on March 27. I was out of town on business when it came in.

would this work / also I have sent you a PM

yeah I know... for some reason my other line of txt didnt make it in there... I said that as a joke... the international shipping alone would be too much hassel.
so to clarify... no international shipping... lower 48 only. I am in Ohio to give you an idea of where it will be coming from.

Heading out to work shortly, will check mail from mobile for a reply to my PM. Thank You.

actually chumley, £80 is about £160 USD
the exchange rate for 1GBP is about 2.1USD

remind me not to let any of yall exchange my money.

Ill give your $200 for it, that $74 higher than anyone else and you can keep your memory I have an extra 8gb. I just really do hope its in the condition your saying its in.

Seems they've had a bit of a change of heart over pricing too. SIM free price is £474, unless you're talking about the 12 month contract price + £18.99 on t-mobile, but that is £371.31 + you get 300mins and 200 txts thrown in for free.

they're still £373 + p&p if you buy it as pay as you go with vodafone. The first TD2's are shipping unlocked (or at least the ones to that supplier are) so you can just leave the voda sim out when it arrives if you're on another network. I think the 'sim free' option on the website is probably for when they start locking them to carriers.
The 12 month t-mobile contract is a good deal, except it means signing up to t-mobile!

ordered mine here:
http://www.clove.co.uk/viewProduct....product=326FAB05-DBDC-4614-9A0C-3923F8587312&

Noob.
I don't get it. I've seen that T-Mobile won't be offering the TD2 until they repackage it as the MDA V which is to be released in June.
How come retailers can offer it on T-Mobile, Voda etc this early?

They just package the retail HTC item with a sim-only contract that they get commission on.

It is not unheard off to offer a unbranded HTC device with a contract...I know when I used to go for packages like that in the past with O2 and T-mobile, I used to specifically ask for a de-branded/original unit from Carphone warehouse or Phones4U...and both offered it - if not after a few huffs and puffs
As for settings, remember most HTC if not all now days come with the settings manager app so it picks up the simcard, and 95% of the time, will have the settings for you already pre-programmed so you just hit install

hmm
would the sim free version work for sprint?

I'm unsure why the price was put up as we always work to provide the best pricing at the current time.
We run systems to ensure we are competitive on pricing on all HTC products and are currently looking in to this blip. Any one who did purchase at the higher price has already been refunded the difference.
I'm also aware stock is now in a very limited supply with additional UK stock now over 4 weeks away.

Mine not arrived as of yet , do you guys give city link a phone number incase they can't find me?

Pricing ? I'm buying (Canada) ... $550 new & blue :)

EDIT: Bought. See Post 2.
I think I'm going to get an N7000, for testing my FM app (see sig), and because the Note seems to be an awesome device, one of the few to support FM recording.
I've looked in the XDA Marketplace, and some other places, and see used prices bottoming out in the $500+ range.
But why buy used when I can get one from Amazon, or better for me in Canada, Newegg, for $580 Canadian shipped: http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16875176317 ($560 in the US). ???
Newegg seems to offer a 90 day warranty via Brainstorm.
There's also a company in Italy selling on Ebay at $570, but Newegg is my choice, even if some other company is selling for $20-30 cheaper.
Is there anything I'm missing here ? Any reason not to buy from NewEgg ?
Thanks !
====================
(And my FM app is now working on CM9 and some other ICS ROMs for the SGS2 and reported working on Note now too, with a glitch or 2 until I get my Note and fix.)

I just KNEW this would happen, LOL. I put a price alert for $550 (was at $580 Canadian), on the theory that it might be like "make us an offer", LOL.
Sometimes Newegg sales just disappear & I get dissappointed. I thought, maybe Monday price will go down. But I decided to do it Sunday night, and strangely my credit card transaction didn't seem to get verified: "The connection was reset".
My message to Newegg chat:
Hi,
I requested a Price Alert. I placed my order just hours ago, and the credit card transaction did not appear to complete.
Now I've received the Price Alert. I would like you to cancel my original order, or modify it to the new lower price please.
Thanks !
Sophie: Thank you for holding. Please kindly note that we do not offer any sort of price protection. Due to the constant fluctuation of prices in this industry, the cost of our inventory is changing regularly. Items costs on our website reflect this, as they are adjusted daily and price in Newegg.com is in real time.
Sophie: However, I will issue a $30.00 credit as a one time exception for the price drop when your order is shipped and invoiced. Please note that we are unable to apply a credit to an order that has not been invoiced. Once the credit is issued, it will take 3-5 business days for the credit to be processed into your original payment method.

I doubt it's real. IMO likely a chinese knockoff that looks similar but doesn't have the same internals or software.
BTW, My Newegg Note arrived today in a box with "May contain awesome" on the side, LOL.
Canada Post left it in a box on my porch while I slept, per the note I left requesting same.
The earphone to jack connection seems a little off. I don't like a white earphone with a black Note. Otherwise, awesome so far !
And the Newegg $30 credit is now confirmed, for my "goodwill, missed the price drop by a few hours" experience.
