I don't think anyone has to worry about the number of devices my guy just told me they got 170 today and that's in addition to the 50 they had before

I'm working from home tomorrow so I can stay up and order online. Woo!

 

[Dusty]

The phone rep said that I had to order online in order to get one early. Are they making anyone else do that? My contract is up in 3 months and I have to pay the $20 early charge. I'd rather hit up a store.

 

[BigMcGuire]

My contract is up in 4 months. So they'll let me do it as long as I pay the $20?

Mine is too. So you lose $70 by not waiting 4 months. $20 extra + losing the $50 NE2.

i was going to buy one with a one year, because obviously there will be something twice as good next march, but i guess i will go with a 2 year to make sure i can get 4g/3g unlimited for the entire 2 years for 29.99 what are yalls thoughts on this?

 

[BigMcGuire]

But they will allow people like us to buy these phones in store tomorrow as long as we pay the $20? I'm not too worried about NE2.

 

[Dark Lazer]

Yes they will charge you $20 extra and you get the phone

If you're willing to keep the phone or 2 years it might work. Otherwise your contract would change with any future upgrade.

Doesn't mean either that they won't grandfather you after you switch phones either.

Soooooooooo the time has come.... the official announcement has been said.... the phones have been shipped.. (at least in my area). now we all are trying to wait patiently til the morning to go get our phones at the store.

question tooo you... to not really but kinda.. PASS THE TIME dancedroid

WHY ARE YOU EXCITED TO GET THE THUNDERBOLT??? instead of bionic..or waiting for another phone?

Yes they will charge you $20 extra and you get the phone

Is this $20 + $35 activation fee + $249.99???????
Is this correct?

Is this correct?

Yup!

+ tax that will probably be like $75.

 

[BigMcGuire]

If it is going to be near $400 for us with 4 months left to get this phone with a 2 year agreement..... I'd rather just pay the $599 for the no contract version....... Quite retarded in my opinion to have to pay $35 activation, $20 early upgrade, + $75 tax.

I think that the $35 activation is only for a new line. If upgrading then there is no activation fee. That would make the price $270. Sales tax in NY would be $21.60 (8%). In PA it would be $16.20 (6%). I'm not sure about other states though.

I thought the activation fee was to activate the phone, but I could be wrong about that one. The tax is off the full price of the phone, which is like $799 or something like that, so it comes out to a little more.
