I am very dissapointed. I saved up enough money to buy one and now they are all out!
Might have something to do with the fact they haven't lowered the price on the 8525s yet...bet they have plenty of those, lol!
you can stil go into the store and get it. I just got one for my gf yesterday. they still have like 2 left.
lol i got mine the day they came out (went in for a memory card for my 8525) and bought one for my GF as well. they were the only 2 they got in stock thus far.

I can wait...I was just informing other users who might want to purchase it. I can't go into the store and get one for that price or for even 399 until my two years is up which is in April.
I recently ordered one of these through my premier account for my fiancee and was told it was back ordered but they are expecting more in 5-7 business days. Also, I got AT&T to match Amazon's price of $200!

They have not lowered them through the retail channel yet but on their business site / Premier it was listed for $100 while supplies last.

How did you manage to have AT&T match Amazon's price of $200 dollars? Did you call somebody directly @ premier site? Were you able to purchase the tilt and have it shipped to you when it arrives...because I would like to do that.
Thanks,

When I call AT&T Customer Service I automatically get routed to the business division because of Premier. I originally bought the Tilt for over $400, but then I returned it when I found it for about $200 on Amazon (No Tax) and NewEgg (Tax). Before I returned the phone I talked to a CSR and they would not match the price. When I went to purchase the phone again for whatever reason neither Amazon nor New Egg could verify my eligibility for an upgrade so my orders would get automatically canceled. After numerous calls to CSR's at AT&T who were completely clueless on how to revert my contract back to upgrade status, I finally asked for them to match Amazon's price again. This time the CSR did it on the spot with no problems.
And yes I was able to purchase the phone so it will be shipped when it is no longer on back order. BTW I was not even told it was back ordered when I purchased the phone.

The last CSR I spoke to was very surprised that they did not just credit me the difference in price, instead of making me return the phone to buy it elsewhere.
Got one today
I am surprised to hear about the out of stock. I ordered one yesterday from the National Business Office and they had it overnighted to me. I just got it this afternoon.
Btw, this thing is heavy as a brick compared to the Hermes.

I knew I should have ordered it last night when I had the chance that's what I get for taking the girl out to dinner instead of ordering the phone. Oh well. Guess I will just have to wait for now.

Actually you can. I said I had a problem ordering online and went into the store to get it. Got all the same rates as online. Just need you Premier business account info. Only thing I had to do was pay $399, but then I got a $100 rebate to send in.

Thank you corporate America. Sorry yall, I couldnt hold it in, I had to express my joy to the world! Good bye hermes/8525, you've served me well!
so how's that? is that with a rebate, or out the door?
did you get a special discount?
out the door, retail, no contract, no upgrade!!! special discount!
Any way we can get a name or a photo of the reciept or something that we could take to corp store to prove it? I went to a corp store yesterday, and they refused to go below $399 even though I have a premier account.
Almost exact same deal I got. My Premiere discount is 60% on equipment's retail price. I got it for $240 + tax, no contract or extension, just out the door.

has anyone realized that best buy has been doing this for the longest?
since the tilt came out.
$250 a 2 year contract (369 one year..something like that) no rebate forms,pda plan required....what so ever.
some guys at ny.. times square tried to tell me that the att tilt simply wouldn't work without a pda plan therefore i must or i needed to add it to the two year plan/contract. As far as i know they dont advertise it though, but i couldnt even find it through their website..... -

Bingo lol!
im getting mine for 250 at the store...just waiting for a new batch to come in
Can someone explain what the big deal is with getting the phone for $250 with no contract? What good does that do? So you can use the phone on a no commitment, either prepaid or pay-as-you go plan? If you go that route you are going to pay considerably more than if you signed up for a 2 year contract, so it doesn't really make sense financially.
I can get the premier discount through my university, but why when newegg has it for $150 with a 2 year contract, free shipping, no tax?? That's exactly what I did.
The only advantage I can see for buying it through premier is if you are trying to upgrade your phone in the middle of your contract. Other than that, newegg still has the best deal. Period. If I am misunderstanding something please explain.

I await your findings. I live in AZ and I just bought my Tilt like 3 weeks ago so I fall in the 30 days like you
Before I bought mine I asked them if by some chance the Tilt went on sale for cheaper than I got it for (399.99) would they price match. They assured me that it would not go on sale so I insisted the "what if". They agreed that if it did go on sale by some weird chance (like black friday weekend) then they would do a price match.
Still I'm curious what you find out.
Thanks!
TILT price match
Hi Guys!
I got ordered my tilt on 8th and got it on 12th. I think i will be eligible for Price match. I got it on a forced upgrade for 592 USD with tax. Hope i can save some money on it.
Please post your opinions and findings..
.... Raj
I live in St. Louis, MO area, although i'm not on one of those states listed, i bought my phone about 2 weeks ago from an At&t store, not a an authorized dealer and actually store by at&t and that was the first thing i asked my rep was what if the price in it drops the day after Thanksgiving will they offer me that, and she said yes, they have a 30 day price match, also i told them about the amazon.com offer of 200bux plus a 25.00 rebate for a total of 175 for the phone w/a 2 year contract, and they did a pretty close offer of 250.00 and i dont have to pay the 36.00 activation fee, so basically i paid 214 2 weeks ago for it, sure the amazon deal is cheaper, but the in person service is something i dont mind paying a little more for incase there's a mess up w/something i can go back to the store, which is only 5 minutes from me and talk to someone in person and get everything right.
So I just got back from the AT&T store and they gave me an additional $150 credit to my bill since I puchased the phone less than 30 days ago!
Anyone that has purchased their AT&T Tilt less than 30 days ago needs to contact their original point of puchase today and tomorrow only and they will recieve a 50% credit to thier purchase!
SCORE!
Wonder how that works if you bought it from the AT&T web site...
Call customer service. They might have to do a return repurchase maneuver.
Thats what the AT&T rep told me when I called in before visiting my local store where I originally purchased the unit.
What if you bought it from a retailer like CompUSA or from a website like Newegg? Will they still offer you a discount on it or do the retailers have to do that?
I spoke to an ATT rep who told me that if I go into any ATT owned store I can redeem the credit. I hope that's true because I bought the phone on my parent's side of town - hours away.
150$ Refund!!!
I called att sales today and they refunded my credit card 150$ however I didnt qualify for the 100$ mail in refund though.

what did you say to them?!
I went down to the ATT store I bought mine from and I didn't qualify for the 50% off because-
a) I didn't have the data plan added on my phone (39.99 $/month)
I would have qualified if I just added the data plan on for that month BUT it would have screwed up my super mega ultra ridiculously low plan that already has unlimited internet access.
Was anyone able to pull off the half off without having the pda connect plan that is 39.99? If so, can you PM me the phone number of the ATT store so I can call them and see if they will credit me?
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.

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

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.

That was not a no sales tax promo, that was just the 50 dollars you paid to preorder it going towards your sales tax.

Total nonsense. My sales tax rate is 8.5%. 784.99 x 8.5% would be $66.72. My total bill was ZERO.
Therefore with $50 preorder deposit I would still owe $16.72.
Even the CSR admitted they had a non advertised promo of no sales tax.
