Looks like Windows Mobile is about to be dead on AT&T.
well, part of the reason is that winmo 7 is about to come out sometimes end of the year so it's only make sense that they are dumping these phones. Also with newer and faster phones released, it's time for them to dump the older phone.
paid nearly full price for mine this past week...

Many carriers have a 30 day return option, no questions asked.
Not anymore....there all sold out already!! I think they may have been $.01 because they didn't have a camera according to the AT&T website.
From description on AT&T:
"HTC Tilt(TM) 2 (Non-Camera)"
Why would I want to return mine?
The Tilt2 I got has a camera...
Amazon
Check Amazon - I bought my Tilt 2 from them about 3 months ago for $0.01. At that time the cheapest AT&T had them for was around a $100.
I got mine off of eBay for $175 no contract in early July. It was refurbished by AT&T and had the screen saver sticker on it. So far looks a functions like new.
I'll now have problems since I posted this.
I think it is WM that they are getting rid of. I just used my parent's upgrade to get the Tilt2 for $0.01.
While I was there, I did some comparing of prices. All of the WM phones were that same price. The Androids were more of a typical upgrade price.
Tilt 2
Been using my 8125 forever, I was thinking of the Tilt2.
Didn't know there was a version without a camera.
The web site shows no activation fee too.
Should I wait?

Yup, the sale is on WM devices. When I go to ATT's website, and go to Shop>Cell Phones & Devices, there is an ad for "Window Mobile 1 cent sale". They still have the Samsung Jack and Tilt2 (with camera) on sale. It also lists the HP Glisten and LG Expo, but shown as "sold out".

I wouldn't. Like redpoint73 said, the HP and LG were sold out. I think it won't be long until the Tilt2 is sold out also.
I upgraded my line less than a month ago to a 3GS so that I could sell it to pay for a Nexus One. I logged into my account a few days ago and it let me order a Tilt 2 for free as an upgrade......less than a month after upgrading already It's shipped and arriving tomorrow. Now I just need to decide if I'm going to sell it brand new or keep it and play around with some of the great Custom Roms from XDA!
I just bought my current tilt2 months ago, and ATT just let me upgrade my phone right now. I just got myself another tilt2 for $18.01!!! Ebay here I come!
I got mine for $.01 and it has the camera
After a three year hiatus from this site and almost a two year blackberry bender, I'm back to windows mobile with the $0.01 HTC Tilt2
I would of liked an android model but my corporate plan doesn't support them yet.
Ordered mine today (8/4/10) for .01 as well, went back to check on status of order- said they were on back order. When I went to check my upgrade options all the prices of everything had gone back up, and Tilt2 w/Camera said sold out. I've been waiting awhile to order this thing and finally caught a break, if this whole thing goes south... well I guess I won't be too upset but what the heck! I'll just save up and order an unlocked HD2
I got mine 2wks ago for $99.99. I called yesterday to get them to price match. They would only take it down to $9.99 instead of $0.01.. I didnt feel like arguing so I'm now waiting to see the credit show up on my cc.
Mine has a camera, was a .01 and HTC is giving me $100 for my old....old...SX66

are they still running that promo? I got rid of an old working tornado and got 100 bones for it as well
There are shotrages of WP7 devices across both Europe and US and I was wondering how many people managed to get one. I'm waiting for Omnia 7 / Venue Pro since official launch (21st of October) and they are still nowhere to be found in Czech republic or nearby countries.
I have a hd7 from O2 Germany and I love it .
I came from a tp so actually everything is better
came from a touch pro as well, got a HTC 7 Trophy. Really enjoying the upgrade.
I have a LG Optimus 7.
Coming from:
Android 2.1
iPhone 3G
Big improvement over android in usability, better interface over iOS.
Omnia 7
used IPhone 2G, WM6.5
I'm also desperately waiting for the Omnia7, but no luck so far. Seems like the middle EU countries are again left out and treated like the illiterate end of the world
To tell the truth, my patience is not never-ending and I may end up switching to whole other platform since I'm getting more disappointed day by day...
I had an HTC HD7 from T-Mobile
I have been looking for a 16 GB Omnia 7 in Thailand,Malaysia, Singapore and Australia and have had no luck so far even the 8 GB is impossible to find.
Selling like crazy in Springfield, but just happened to go to att store day new shipment arrived. Got it yesterday, so still learning it. Came from iphone 3Gs w/ios 4. Have unlocked Dream that I abuse with any Android version that looks interesting. Am thinking about going back to earlier version as most newer ROMs are dog slow. Also have Nokia 5800 and Epix. So far iphone my fav with jury still out on Focus.
ordered mine through tmous business telesales to get a discount. Got it for 100.00 after 50 mail in rebate. Should be here UPS this afternoon. I can't wait!!!
im in th uk waiting to buy either an omnia7 or hd7 sim free. ill probably buy god willing whichever comes available first. a bit frustrating not being able to buy one till now and the wait goes on.
Could people who bought some WP7 unlocked device point me in the direction where they bought it? Thanks.
Got my Mozart through my carrier.
HTC Trophy from Vodafone. Well, actually it's my wifes and I'm jealous as h**l. I am amazed at how fast, fluid and responsive the UI is.
I'm stuck on my contract until September then a Touch Pro 7 for me. Until then, my HD2 will suffice.
I'm hoping to buy an HTC Mozart sometime. Such a beautiful looking phone. Too bad it's not even available in the US. And even it it were, it would probably be AT&T only like most other WP7 phones. God damn Verizon.
No Shortage in AUS
Got mine thru carrier and they have plenty in stock according to the Sales guy.
Loving it so far and it came sim unlocked or Telstra is just not locking them up.
Sim lock is a pain in the arse when you travel to other countries and one of the reasons I went with the Mozart.
What model and why ?
Personally No.
Although If i lived somewhere that the 3g worked (France) i probably would. Although right now being a US resident I don't think i will. My Archos G9 101 Turbo was the first tablet i ever purchased (although sadly I received 2 united DOA, The Original purchase shipment then the same with the replacement. The third was the charm and it still works great.
Since i have upgraded to the Asus Transformer as my daily use tablet.
In all, at least IMO, in the US Archos are good budget tablets but many other company's offer comparable tablets sometimes with a lower price (Hence the fact it supports 3g and is not locked to a carrier is a large reason to buy one but since the service is not available, or i have not four or heard of a way to do it,) Also i purchased my Tablet like a month or two after it was released it was a good tablet one of the few with ICS at the time and cost me much more than they are selling them now. I actually have seen them being sold with a price tag of over $100 less than i paid for mine.
Although if Archos partnered with us carriers or somehow opened it up to work with the us network in general then i might consider as my mobile provider only charges $5 a month extra to the plan i have to add a data device and i would be all over that as currently I Tether with my mobile phone.
So the long is Maybe the short is NO
I'm going to get one. Since my 80g9 is working good under serdu's watch full eye, I would go for the 10" gen10. Even to the 8 inch tablet is the ideal size.
Sent from my ARCHOS 80G9 using xda app-developers app
I have had a Gen 8 device since Nov. 2010. I've had quite a number of problems with the device over that time, all software related.
Unfortunately Archos is not very good at writing code.
I will not buy a Gen 10 device, I will instead soon purchase the 32 gig Nexus 7 or the Nexus 10 depending if it is released on Oct. 29th.
Unlikely, I have had an Archos 70 internet tablet, an 80 G9 and an 80 G9 turbo. To be honest while I have had good dealings with rma for faulty original G9 screen, the hardware is badly assembled. So next up will likely be a Samsung. As both my galaxy phones have been fault free.

The phone will cost $199 for 32GB, $299 for 64 GB on AT&T, according to the carrier's site.
Seems really expensive to me given it's specs and the fact that it does not run the Play store and likely locked to AT&T with a locked bootloader.
This is not a Galaxy S5. People expected this phone to be priced more like a Google Nexus or Kindle (ad subsidized), but all they ended up with was run of the mill AT&T pricing.
The functionality is cool but at this price I wonder who is going to buy this phone. At this price, people who want an Android will stick with LG or Samsung, and the others will get an iPhone... who is going to go with Amazon? What is the selling feature.. being able to play with maps in 3D?

Yea I was expecting something more like Moto G or Nexus Pricing. Thats WAY to much for a phone. I`d rather have the new iPhone for amount of money, And I`m an Android person
720p
They're selling a phone with a 720p screen for the price of my Note 3. Fo reals?!
Facebook fone v2.0. or maybe v0.1.2.

A 720p display that's only 4,7" is not really a problem.
I was a big fan of the LG 3D and moved on to the LG 3D MAX. moved away from the 3D MAX due utter lack of support from LG in terms of software upgrades. Was looking forward to this phone since the rumours started as I loved the 3D technology. Unlike many people, I had no issues whatsoever in viewing 3D on the phones.
This phone turned out to be a whimper instead of a loud bang!

Agreed. I don't even notice any pixels on my Note II with same resolution but much larger screen. Once thing I don't understand is why they are still using 4.2.2 as base android branch. What's so difficult to move to newer versions? With the growing popularity of wearable devices which need Blue LE. They should at least use 4.3 as baseline.
I was very skeptic that amazon would launch this thing subsidized like it did with the kindle since probably everyone involved knew the risk of the phone becoming the cheap powerful phone everyone is flashing custom ROMs to instead of using the heavy data mining fireOS that would pay for the devices.
But amazon went the exact other way this time and with these prices its obviously making money with each phone sold, much like apple, while shipping an almost generic slab with no custom hardware besides 4 extra cameras for a laggy 3D UI effect, unlike apple with all its custom hardware and design.
IMHO this thing aint gonna sell squat, so I'm gonna wait until bezos panics and makes it $99 unlocked.
Then I will honor the deal by wiping out that spyware crap it comes with
...
I don't know how to delete my question, but it has already been asked elsewhere, apologies. If an admin could please delete this, I'd appreciate it, thank you.
I work for amazon and supposedly the phone will be significantly cheaper for employees just don't know by how much. they are also supposed to be giving us extra incentives for us to buy it.
A tablet is One thing But a Phone? This will have the same fate as the Facebook phone. Take away the Amazon apps and this thing is just another brick in the bunch. That 3d effect might be cool for a little bit but I bet i gets anouying after a while and its style looks Ugly. DONT GET ME STARTED IN THE PRICE. It is almost guaranteed it will be locked better than Ft. knox. Dont waste money on this Amazon, spend it on the Drones and just release the apps on Android, Windows and Apple Youll make more money that way.9

The facebook phone was incredibly half-assed compared to this.
The problem with the FP is price and price alone, everything else can be forgiven but the price is just batcrap insane, what were they thinking? did they not learn anything from the first iphone price? for the record that one too was at&t-only and it didn't sell well until apple dropped the price.
For amazon to get the marketshare it wants this thing should be $200 unlocked
Mine will be here today, paid $0 out the door went with the monthly ATT Next deal so I will at least only have to wait a year to upgrade again instead of two years as in the past. If it weren't for the free Amazon Prime for a year, since I do so much business with them each month, I probably would have passed on this phone but my S3 is messed up and I wanted something different. This will definitely be different.

So let me get this straight, for a $99 Prime account you went ahead and bought the biggest piece of crap phone and signed up for 2 years?
Sent from my LG-D851
No, one year of prime + signed up for one year of ATT Next. Regardless, the phone is going back tomorrow since Amazon refuses to return my phone calls, answer my emails, and their "Mayday" button isn't working at the moment on said piece of **** phone.
Edit: and I haven't paid anything yet. I am returning this dogpile, if ATT wants to pro-rate me as part of their "Next" plan, they will be talking to my lawyers for teaming up with Amazon for this crap.
The Fire phone price dropped to $449 and those who bought it soon before the drop (for the higher price) can ask for a refund and Amazon will most often acknowledge that!
Fire sale
Amazon is now offering this unlocked/no contract for $199 WITH a year of Amazon prime ($99 value).

Hey Guys!
I've just purchased myself a OUYA I found a seller on eBay who still stocks them 'New' so I bid and won it for only 70 aus dollars I am not a gamer or tech person of such but I enjoy the simple mobile like games which the OUYA offers I have some questions.
1. Am I still able to Purchase and download games from discovery?
2. When forge eventually terminates the Store will any downloaded software not be usable anymore?
