Assuming this phone will cost about 800usd or more as listed on some preorder sites, how much do you think it will cost by the time of Christmas?
Sounds like a bit much for me seeing as how the Advantage 7501 is $900USD.
bump this thread
Why bumb an old thread?
I just bought my Kaiser a month ago for $550 new.
So by xmas, maybe $450?
I got my tilt for free off of lets talk with a new contract a month ago.
However FUZE is the same price now
Bought mine a few months ago, only $250.
Confirmed. Just poped in yesterday to T-Mobile on Princess St., Edinburgh, asked for it and manager just took out one from under the counter.
In his opinion i signed the first contract in the UK (been in the shop at 7pm, stock arrived at 6pm) but I doubt it .
So for £100-handset, 12months contract, £20/monthly this toy is mine.
!!!!!!
That is ridiculous pricing!! I wonder how fast I can get up to Edinburgh...
Just been on the T-Mobile website, and they seem to be in the process of updating a few things... and the Vario II has gone missing from the list of available phones, so it looks like the Vario III may be coming!
Think they started shipping last Wednesday if you phoned them up. I phoned on Thursday, got mine Friday.
First contract in the country indeed
Me too, phoned Thursday, got mine first thing Friday 26th.

Heh, I've had mine since last Saturday! Some have had theirs since last Thursday, so that store manager is a week behind the times!
Sigh....
Did we really need yet another thread about T-Mobile availability....?
Anyway, give it a few more hours and the place will be flooded wit AT&T Tilt..
To be fair though, most of the other posts in the threads about T-Mobile are relating to upgrades, and no-one has really said a lot about pricing and contracts etc. I'm on O2 at the minute, but I like the look of Web 'n Walk and obviously am very interested in the Vario III, so I'm keen to hear what kind of prices new customers are looking at. I also want to be able to walk into the store and take a look at the handset, or order online, where most of the other posts (if not all) involve customer service phone calls.
Well, I got mine through Scancom. Ordered last Friday, £0 for the phone, on the Flext 35 package with 1gb WnW at £37.50 for 18 months.
If you are planning to buy a ATT phones, wait till Friday all the phones will be at 50% discount including the TILT.
was announced on the RADIO.
More info anyone???
Can anyone provide more info (certain markets, or nationwide?)... or confirm this?
ATT 50% off Blackfriday
This sale is pretty much limited to CA, NV, ID, AZ, NM, UT, HI, OR, WA, CO. You get 50% off on almost any phone (no Iphone or Go Phones included). You however have to be eligible for an upgrade or new line of service. It seems to be a pretty good deal if you are looking to get the tilt or blackberry.
you can check it out here

i believe at&t has a 30 day price match offer that includes them dropping their own prices, so you should be able to get the difference refunded if your in one of those states.

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..

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?
i've been looking everywhere for a good deal on this phone and havent been able to find it so if anyone is tired of theres id gladly take it. thanks in advance

If you are a new customer to AT&T I suggest for you to buy it online with Amazon which has free 2 day shipping and with 2 year contract goes for about 175 (150 after rebate). I did this to obtain my fuze and I was very pleased with how smoothly I was able to save soo much money (Sales Rep at AT&T wanted 300).

im already locked in a contract i wish i could
Not too much you can do locked into a contract like that, esp if you aren't willing to break into a new seperate contract with the full data plan, I had to buy mine new from ebay for $400. I sold my Tilt for $255 and that made up for most of it.
(Viva la $15 Unlimited Media.net!)
I am not eligable for an upgrade until next December and with HTC releasing a new device of my style (Wizard, TyTN, TyTN II...touch screen with slide out keyboard) usually halfway through the year and then finally getting to the US near the end of the year, that should work out just fine.
I will just have to sell off my Fuze by then, so if you are still looking to buy one for $300 by next December... hit me up.

hopefully ill find one by then thanks anyways
When I bought mine about a week ago, Amazon had up an option for existing AT&T customers. Not sure whether the offer was the same, because as a new customer I didn't follow the link, but it might be worth giving the Fuze page on Amazon a look and seeing what it says...
I was only 11 months into my 2 year contract with my discounted Tilt. if you ask real nice most store managers can still sell you a Fuze at the discount (299??). they can punch in an exception on your account right at the store. I got my Fuze for that price , but did have to extend back to 24 months under contract again. If one store wont do it, try another. You will come across a store with a manager that will do it.
I just odered it for $150 with a $150 mail in rebate from htc and LetsTalk.com. It came with a 2 yr contract with At&t. I went to http://www.htc.com/us/where_to_buy.aspx and selected usa then HTC Online Store. I then selected HTC FUZE™ (AT&T). FREE Touch pro!

Was that a new plan or an upgrade/extension? I went to the site and it does appear to be for either but when I went to letstalk.com directly the deal was only being offered for new service and upgrades were at $249. What was your experience? Thank you.
First time at&t customer. I hope they offer this to both.
hey, i'm in need of cash and selling my FUZE, let me know if your still interested
How lucky am I today? I'm going to pick up a brand new HTC Diamond (T-Mobile Compact 4) for free.
Back in january I was told my upgrade for the Diamond would be £175.
I currently have the MDA Compact 3 (HTC P3300) which I still kinda favour over the diamond or any new phone mainly because of the roller ball and wheel which I've gotten used to. My P3300 has a rebooting problem during calls so I rang HTC support today and they said it could be serviced if it's still under the 2 year warranty. I found out my warranty expires on the 15th so that's lucky! So I needed a phone to use while it'll be at HTC in milton keynes and was just gonna go and buy some cheapo phone from argos. I rang T-Mobile and enquired on the current price of the Compact 4 (HTC Diamond) thinking it would still be about £175. They tell me it's discontinued and they're awaiting the diamond 2 (MDA compact 5). That would cost me about £80 but the compact 4 would be free but none in stock. So I rang a couple of T-Mobile shops and one shop has 1 in stock! So I'm going to pick it up now and it's free. \o/ Then I'll send my Compact 3 to HTC, and that will be free service too.
So, drinks are on the house. Order anything you like
Good stuff mate.
Just remember that you are entering into a new contract, most likely 18 months. Do try and negotiate a discount on your line rental, mobile companies are desperate for custom with the credit crunch!
Also, get them to chuck in web n walk for free if you can.
Actually, my nephew works for T-Mobile and I've had an employee call half price discount for years. So I pay £15 a month for web 'n walk and flex 25 package which is 5 hours free talk time (or £60 allowance). I never make enough calls to go over my 5 hours, or very very rarely. I told you I was lucky, lol.
Yep, I've always had an 18 month contract. I rang HTC again and they said if there are scratches or dents on the old phone they may not honour the warranty and mine has small dents in each corner. Actually, T mobile told me my warranty is 24 months, till 15th june, but HTC just told me that the manufacturers warranty is 27 months, giving me till 14th august. Anyway, I think a new battery from amazon.co.uk may solve my P3300 problems.
Ahhhhh yes. The old, and the new.
