MyTouch 3G for $154 ?

[Tribal69x]

Talked with Customer Loyalty at T-mobile about the issue regarding the Behold II not being updated to Android 2.x as promised. The best offer I have received so far is the MyTouch 3G for $154. No upgrade fee, no shipping fee. What does everyone think? Take it and try it for the 14 day buyer remorse period or hold out for a better deal? They said the Mytouch 3G Slide has been taken off their upgrade list for the time being...?

If it's a1.2 (3.5mm jack), that's a good price. If it doesn't extend your contract, or if you're positive you want to stay with T-Mo, I'd say to snatch it up.

InstantKarma - Thanks for the advice. I'll call back tomorrow and see if I can get the same deal for the Slide...if not I'll try for the one with the 3.5mm jack.

i know if you complain enough you can get what ever you want. A friend at work went through 3 different phones within 3 months. First he got the MT3G v1.0 then the 1.2 came out so he complained and got that one. A month or so later the HD2 came out and complained again and got that. Each phone was at a discount and no extensions on the contracts.

I wish i had that option again. I am no longer in a contract.

How long did that arguement go on? lol

The argument i had with him was you bleeping bleep. He was a bit pissed that i rooted the phone and it was still faster then his v1.2.

I dont know how long he talked with Tmo about it but he did get it. So now he has a g1, two mytouches and now a HD2. Told him to sell me the v1.2 but he wants like 200 bucks. LOL

I may start arguing with Tmo on fathers day to get some free phones. All i know is im not too happy i am unable to upgrade with discounts, and yes i know they have payment plans and its overall cheaper with out a contract, maybe it physiological about seeing a cheaper price.

im about ready to do the same , raise hell, iv had issues with my touch since i got it, replacement, then battery, even though its 1.6, it freezes, slow, agravating, i would love to have the htc hd2, love the big screen, its killer, but im on nocontract, where there,s finacing me the phone , think i could argue with them? id be willing to pay for phone upgrade, what is it 200? any way just dreaming.

It's odd that the guy with contract has more leverage than w/o. The guy w/o the contract is the one TMO worry about losing, why give the contracted guy a free gift?

Wish I had that ability, all those phones sold can get a N1.

I lost two hours of sleep out of the 5 that work gives me and it did not work. I would have to cancel my wifes contract or non contract and then sign up to get the free ones. I am in the same boat as you and we are just screwed. The no contract is much cheaper then the contracted price. Does sound lame that they dont want you locked in. O well. Im sure something better will be coming out in a year when my wife is off the non-contract/contract.

Because you'd still end up paying more if you took the phone with a 2-year contract. Assuming the contract is $20/month more than the non-contract plan, you're paying $480 more after 2 years.
