MobilePlanet customers

Did anyone receive their Kaiser from MobilePlanet yet?
If yes when did you guys pre-order?
Thanks

I pre-ordered mine on Aug/27 ... at that time ETA was sept/09
last few days, they have been pushing it back a week...
and as of today it has been pushed back further ( sept/20 !! )
I emailed them for answer and told them that i will cancel the order if they keep doing it again !! ( not good for one's heart ..LMAO !
BTW ... at the original time .. my order was quoted $799 USD + %7.5 tax + S&H (14.99 ) --->>> TTL= CDN $924 +
anyone know anything regarding the quoted price & the balloon prices ???
am I obligated to pay a higher price once stock is in ?? do I get the discount price if it happen to be lower then at the ordered time ??
I'd also emailed them about this already ... and I'm about that close to canceling !!!
there are stocks around ... but it's not right for expansys to keep playing with customers emotion like this ... you're so close to the date & then they just crush your bubbles .. not only one time, but again & again !
and why suh a price cut throat/difference when it is also from the same company but different region ??
Mexico is almost $100 USD higher ??

Dude I assume that you are in Canada as you converted your order to Canadian. I ordered one with SuperiorGadgets.com from here in Canada and it was only $911 inc Gst and shipping. He will ship by the 9th he says. If price goes down you will be credited if it goes up, they eat the difference. Click on the link at the top of the forum page.

Thanks for the info ..but ...
I was going to cancel the order regarding the "in stock" date keep being pushed back ...etc
just got an email from "mobileplanet" and mine is shipped (sept/06/07) ... with tracking number !! ETA Sept/11/07 ... nice date.. eh ??
oh well, I lost $12 ... the price to pay for wanting the latest/greatest.
Thanks again
P.S ... the %7.5 tax charged ... they assured me it will cover "customs" ... absolutely no hidden/surprise charges.

Website showing Due Sept 20th.... I just called Mobileplanet Customer service and they told me that they do have it in-stock... I just ordered once and it will be shipped today

Are you all paying $800+ because you want it so bad? Isn't the retail price from Cingular supposed to be $499? Granted, its whenever that will be.

Just called mobileplanet. They did get an order of 1000 in but they were for retailers and the old backorders. Mine was one day short so will ship next week . Not sure how you managed to snag one today. As far as paying full price there are several reasons.
1) I dont like locked phones.
2) I wanted the base OS not at&t
3) at&t's data plans are incredibly expensive and the difference in data plans would more than offset the 200 saving in less than a year and I would be bound to it for 2 years. Yes I know they have 3g but I dont use data on the go much and edge is fine for now and wifi is everywhere.

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

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 all out of Tilts

Just any FYI...
If you try an order a tilt aka Kaiser from At&t online they are out of them. No expected date on when they will be in stock.

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.

Just placed an order on the national business order line and was promised delivery in 3-5 days

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.

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.

were priveleged like that. then we get to pay taxes and die. we even get to pay taxes FOR dying.

$200 is the best offer so far.
Keep in mind that I WILL take a trade. so offer whatever you have... doesnt need to be cell phone related
I'll choose a winner at 5pm eastern. there is 2.5hrs from this post.
we can do it however you want. I can even organize with you to create an ebay auction and have you buy-it-now as soon as I up it. I take paypal as well... can send invoice for your protection.
if you want high quality pictures before you submit payment then I can do that tonight or tomorrow morning.

Best Buy trade-in still offering $250 and up for good condition N4!

I figured there might be some people that were looking to sell their N4 soon or were caught off guard by Google lower the price $100 and ripping that resale value away from them.
Apparently though BB trade-in is still offering:
$262 for perfect condition
$250 for good condition
Hope this helps :fingers-crossed:

I hate to come across as overly skeptical, but their FAQ mentions paying for return shipping on the devices, so I feel compelled to dig in a little deeper.
The SKU corresponds to this device: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/LG---Go...ile)/7408045.p?id=1218844837055&skuId=7408045 which is the 16GB model.

I don't see why you got aggravated here but OP didn't complain. He just said what the truth is. Obviously none of us saw that coming from Google. Perhaps he made this thread for those who were skeptical about selling (before N5 launches) or keeping the device and if Google's decision of slashing the price made such people a little upset, they can use OP's link and take full benefit from it.

After being blessed by the HOLO when I get a new HOLO device I actually give my old ones away, and spread the word of Matias Duarte
My friend was all like you know they sell this galaxy nexus for 500 on ebay. I told him "My lamb that is not a HOLO device that is a verizon one and is not recommended, take this and give me that HTC desire." I then I plus'ed Matias Duarte and we chanted HOLOYOLO together and burned that device to a cinder

I wasnt aggravated.. just as I stated, no item sold by anyone will keep their current launch prices.. even cars, dealers see sale decline, they push out promos or lower prices... if you think Google will keep the phones at their launch prices, then you are naive (not really directed to you but to anyone who thinks this way)..
This is just my opinion... and leave it at that....

They gave a gift card available to use instore.
The best thing you can do is you can purchase two visa gift cards for 5.95 for each because the max limit on visa card is $200
so what you can get $250 cash at the end
262 -6 -6 = $ 250
good deal for a 9 month old phone
