Hi All,
Finally gonna leave my hermes for a new machine.
What quotes have you guys been finding online or at shops for the Rhodium?
Online, I saw a US site pre ordering at $749.99 and a UK site preorder at £517.95
http://www.inkino.co.uk/zen/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=2753
Also http://www.expansys.com/ is quoting the t-diamond 2 for £411, so maybe its going to be just below £500?
hopefully the recession will help htc to price it lower
no one wanna play guesstimate?
ok att version $500 when it comes out and then $300 with several discounts and contract ****. wait wait $499.99 and $299.99 us loves to think that makes it less LOL

I second that one. But I must know. What's a verzzzion?
Here's my 2 pence worth
I have been searching and from a UK perspective mobile phones direct have the Pro2 and Diamond2 listed for pre-order.
Their picture of the phone has a free label in the corner.
Judging from what I have seen I am hoping the pricing will be very similar to the HD. If it is then I am going to be as happy as a pig in s***. As soon as the Pro2 is released i'm having one (it also ties in quite nicely to when my contract is up also )

High-end phones seem to be more expensive at the moment with the N97 on Play at a SIM free price of £600.
$299 for Rhodium
$199 for Diamond2
After rebates with 2year contract
When it comes to Sprint in Q3 of this year!
Since the Fuze for ATT was around $350 on release im guessing about the same for the Fuze 2 or TP2 w.e you wanna say lol

Where did u find this info?
I have had my HD for about 2 months and will sell it right now and keep my old Kaiser until this phone comes out. Maybe get it from the UK in May when it is due to drop over there.
I think price will be similar to HD when was launched (Hope is less!!)
Price, well it's bad thing. More than 500 euro, less than 750 euro e.g 600-650 euro unlocked, without contract, nobrand....
I read your post quick, the 500 and 300 but then wait wait 499.99 and 299.99 I dunno what it is but it seems..cheaper, its a mental thing or something...LOL..after looking at it I was like its a 1cent difference but mentally that 299.99 seems cheaper than 300, man they have programmed us stores do it too alot of crap is 19.99 never $20

I gues it will be free in Holland with a 2 year 40 euro a month contract by T-Mobile and will come down to a 30/35 euro a month contract in a few months.
It is already showing at expansys.co.uk for £524 estimated to be in on the 5th of june

I'm plannin on gettin it with Vodafone.
1 year contract. 27.50 a month + Data-plan = 37.50 a month, and the first 6 months 20% discount so that would be:
First 6 months 32 euro a month, and last 6 six months 37.50 a month.
And then I need to pay something like 295 euro for the TP2
Yupper.
Sick of waiting, figured I'd give the 611/Retention scheme a try and was surprised when the CSR went ahead and processed my order with no hassles whatsoever. Never even had to do the whole retention thing. Retail price was $350 -$50 loyalty discount w/ waived upgrade fee and $50 MIR(form being snail mailed she said).
Take it for what it's worth...there still isn't an "official release date for retail" and maybe I just got lucky, but there it is.

The core stores will be able to sell the Tilt 2 on the 18th of this month.
On the phone ordering now, but they have to go through their system and not the website. Through retail/611
got mine thru CSR too. ordered it this morning.
I called them, tried to get transferred to retentions but they wouldn't transfer because they said that retentions is an internal department. so I asked the CS rep if I could upgrade to the tilt 2.
I told her I would go to T-mo since they sell the phone for $50 on the win-mo website, so she dropped it to 300, then took an additional 50 off for loyalty. so I paid 250 w/ MIR.
I couldn't wait any longer. ridiculous AT&T. ridiculous.
I ordered mine as well this morning and hoping it will come tomorrow since it is overnight shipping
Just ordered mine!
$350 - 50 MIR, and the CSR was very nice -- she waived my upgrade and Premium shipping fees.
Bit miffed I couldn't get it at the prices some people were getting through Premier -- or sooner, for that matter -- but I'll live.
No one is getting cheaper than that because people are just talking since no one is ready to show the receipt

What are "core stores"? Are they official At&t retail stores and not "retail partners"?
$125 Got it today
I had already posted this in another thread.
I paid the $350 +TAX will obiously use the $50 rebate. Got FedEx next day shipping for free. Got a $175 credit onto my account to offset the cost of the phone. So my price will be $125 +TAX all said and done. It wasnt very hard to get them to work with me. Since they credited the account not discounting the device I will still get to use the MIR.
Good Luck everyone. Hope to see you get great deals!

cheaper then what? i got mine for 199.99. i'll show you the receipt when i receive my phone on friday if you want.
Some stores have already gotten tilt 2s in. And some will already sell them before oct. 18th. One store here got 4 in today when I stopped in looking for a case for mine and said they would sell them today. Granted many stores may not see them till the 18th or sell them till then. You can always call around as I did to find out. I ordered mine thru rententions yesterday (I got it today 299.99 free overnight shipping plus a 50.00 mail in rebate =249.99) It all depends what rep you get, what mood there in and how generous they feel.
For those of you who are getting the tilt 2 for ~$249.99, is this with a new 2 year contract??

Yep. That's what I got mine for. I didn't mind re-upping.
Hi,
Just ordered mine from 611/CSR.
Rep I spoke to gave no indication it was not available and I played along, I just want my Tilt2. Got it for $299.99 plus MIR (Had a $50 upgrade credit available)
So should have it in 2 Bus. days.
Thanks for the heads-up.
Picked mine up at a corporate store last night. I did not previously order one or have one on reserve, just called as asked. They said they received a few in their shipment yesterday (10/14 US, 14/10 for those on the other side of the lake).

How did you do that? Did you just ask them straight up or did you have to play some games with them? I'd like to know.
I just picked up my Tilt 2 from a retail store. The lady seemed more than happy to sell it to me. She said they got 3 in and she didn't seem to know anything about the 18th release date.
I did call numerous other stores before I ended up at the one that sold me the phone. One store said they only had the Pure in, another said the release date was the 18th, another said that they got the Tilt 2 in but was unable to sell it at the non-commitment price because they had so little in (I then asked her how long she thought I would have to wait before I could buy it at the non-commitment price, and she said 'about a month').
Anyway, i'm just glad I got the phone. I am loving it. The screen is beautiful and I haven't encountered any issues so far. Totally worth the $499 I paid.
Yay!!
I just got mine last night! I have a family member who works at one store and I know people from the CSR's up to the Reigonal Mgrs. They all have been told to say the 18th...a Sunday?? But they started getting shipments as of yesterday.
Some stores are going to have MS people setup Kiosks and show people the Pure and the Tilt 2.
Now... when to start flashing.
See ya Fuze... it was great while it lasted! 8)
Just confirming.. I ordered my through 611... Did not have to ask for retention.
$199 with the $50 rebate.
Overnight Shipping $14.95
Looking forward to getting the tracking number. Wonder if I will get it on Saturday?

What did you say or do to get that price + rebate?
I have a FAN and I just ordered a Tilt2 for $250 with $50 rebate.
Normally FAN phone offers are not as good as the ones offer to the public as the FAN folks gets a discount on their monthly service.
I was trying to make up my mind on a LG Expo or a HTC Tilt2. Both cost me $300. The offer of $100 rebate to Public on LG Expo is not available to FAN folks. The HTC Tilt2 was $350 but with a $50 rebate. That was yesterday! I have been checking both of these phones ever since the LG came out. As yesterday was last day of work, and the offer for rebate is before Christmas. I thought may be I’ll wait a little longer and see if the LG Expo would offer a 100 rebate to FAN customers.
This morning, I locked on to work at home. I just want to check if I could access the ATT Primer Web and saw the Tilt2 went down by $100. Needless to say, I ordered one!
Time is ticking and if folks here have a FAN, this is the window to get the Tilt2. Thought this is such a good deal too good to pass.
(Update)The price drop is good for regular customers and FAN customers.
i got mine about a week ago from letstalk.com and i made 2 cents
It was $198 with a $100 MIR and then sending in my old HTC wizard to HTC for another $100 (you may qualify for this too, head over to http://www.htctradein.com/att/ )

Thank You! I just gave my Dopod C730 to my son and I am using my back up Treo 650. I was using that to play games. It was in good working condition. I checked that link you provided and I can get a $100. What a deal!
Thank You again!
BTW, I just checked my order and it was shipped from Texas via Fedex. I'll get it by 29th.
Woooo Hooooo!

Usually online deals aren't available in stores and when you talk to someone in the store they'll tell you the same thing.
I've read some posts about people talking to the manager in getting them to match and sometimes beat the online price but i've had no luck in doing this with the Tilt 2 and previous devices.
Plus i live in Texas and it didn't take 2days to get to me without paying extra for shipping

I've never had a problem gettting prices matches with online prices with ATT going today called and they said the would give it to me for that price actually. Maybe theyre more willing to match in la.
I did a phone upgrade from Fuze to Tilt 2 on December 1st. Price was $349 minus $50 in the rebate card so $299. Just called and complained after seeing the price cut and being (barely) within my 30-day return window and they gave me a $100 credit to my account, dropping my Tilt 2 cost to $199. Now I need to check into the HTC recycle deal and see if I can get $100 for my oldest HTC (an 8125) which would take me to $99 for my Tilt 2. And I'll still have my original Tilt and Fuze as backup phones, and maybe sell my 8525 on ebay.
Amazon have the phone for $99 with free line activation and a $50 gift card plus you can then do the HTC trade in for $100.
i work for an AT&T store and the $199.99 price is across the board for anyone
I got mine from let's talk on black friday weekend for free. without mail in rebate.
Can't you just add a line and get the phone for free, than just terminate the line for $40.00?
Walked into AT&T store here in SoCal on the day after Christmas, and got the Tilt2 for $150 with a $50 rebate ($100 net cost). Have been customer for years, so they gave me some sort of "Premier" discount. Don't know what exactly that is, but I'll take it!
I've been with AT&T a long time and still have the Cingular 8125 which I plan on trading in.
I want to upgrade to the Tilt 2 but will AT&T force me to get a smartphone data plan?
Is there a way to upgrade to a new phone with them touching your existing phone/data plan?
I was in Costco today and noticed that the T-Mobile GS3 has dropped to $199 no mail in needed. I bought two of them when it released last month. Since I was still within 30 days I was able to get it adjusted. Nice to walk out of Costco with an extra $100. Anybody else that bought from Costco should be able to do the same. Enjoy the extra cash!

Wow this is ridiculous.
Super pissed that I got it from a T-Mo retailer now...anyone know of anyways we can get adjusted?
Yeah... the costco deal finally pushed me to trash my 2-year old vibrant and upgrade.
I still can't get used to how massive the SGS3 is.

I yelled at retention for a few days, eventually they gave me a credit. First they said I could return, pay the $50 and buy it from Wal-Mart, then that didn't work so they gave me a $50 credit. Then they said I could do it in a few days "when the system reset" showing me eligible for an upgrade. That didn't happen either. Then they said they would sell it to me from customer service for 199 or I could buy it from a retail store and they would credit my account. Worked out, just had to pay a bit more up front.
Yea, this is how i got my phone about 2 weeks ago. They even had a deal where you could get a GS2 for free on another line. It should be the same at every Costco. So i payed 199 for the GS3 and my dad got the GS2 for free. So worth it. Big upgrade from my Mytouch 4G
I order one from target at 199

i just ordered one as well from loyalty dept...i was able to talk the rep down to 189 as well. plus tax...he charged me full 279 but gave me a 90 dollar credit on my account with no upgrade fee and i will pay it till my next bill so i have a couple weeks till its due. glad i waited till now to buy it. Now i just gotta wait for ups
Keep in mind that at Costco, they charge you tax on the pre-coupon price, so here in WA, where tax is 9.5% it kinda sucks. But they do have great customer service and free accessories.

This is true, but it's not being calculated from the MSRP either, it's calculated off their reduced wholesale price, which for me in CA, for 16GB SGS3 was $389.99, and that came out to $34 in tax (8.75% tax where I live.) Compare this to T-mobile who wanted to charge me tax off the full $629.99 MSRP, which would have been $55 in tax, and it's still $21 cheaper, even if you can talk t-mobile down to the $199 price.

And I thought I had a plan. Hoping for a slightly more pocket-friendly Optimus G2, I planned to wait, and buy a discounted OGPro if I didn't like the G2. (must have replaceable battery, expandable storage and wireless charging) Now what?
Maybe G2 comes out sooner? Anyone else awaiting Optimus G2?
What, nobody just paid the extra $100 yesterday and is pissed?

Actually quite happy you posted this deal!!! Thank you!!!!
Was going to trade in my iPhone and get the $100 rebate, bringing the cost down to $99.00 . Now I don't have to, and I can sell it privately (or just use it as an iPod Touch).
I wonder why the rapid price drop! This phone just hit AT&T's shelves about a month ago.

I just came back from the att store and got the price matched. ...saved $100. ...wohooo.. ...came to the forum to post but looks like you beat me to it ... anyone having purchased in the past 14 days can get it price matched. ...maybe the drop is in anticipation of note 3 ....anyway. ..all I care is I saved the green and its a fantastic device for 100.

14 days, eh? My daughter bought her ogpro on May 16. I know she's upset...
Ok on Tuesday I placed my order (upgraded 2 lines, one from a GNote 2 to the OG Pro) the girl gave me a $25 discount..so I got the phone for 175...which I thought was a good deal.
I saw this today, called ATT and they just gave me a $100 credit on my account because they changed the price.
Knock ATT all you want, but they are taking good care of me.
I paid retail. I wonder if they'll price match.
