NEW contract, being the key phrase. Before anyone asks, no they do not do upgrades for Sprint. Amazon has some deal with Sprint where they cannot handle upgrades at this time. At least this is what I have read numerous times.
They still charge the $36 activation fee.

Soo... Do you think "New" contract include converting a single line to a family line and adding Epic's as the add-a-lines?
I don't see how to contact Amazon wireless for doing these kind of family plan changes with adding lines.

Yeah man but if your at the end of your service contract it works to, also alot of us that are getting the epic 4g are switching from carriers like verizon for it, anyway the cheapest it's been is $250 so atleast credit it me with the find man don't knock it, this is useful to some people,

I have also read they do not handle family plans. Strictly new personal accounts. Perhaps someone else has first hand knowledge.
Again, I read they are only like this with Sprint accounts.

Mr. Madison, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

laugh out Loud Kind Sir, The update to said gentlema's post regarding the availability of The Epic 4G through amazon.com transcended naught but an evening before my original post. I Have no petty concerns for being the first at anything with regards to the internet; I only aspired to save coin from my fellow man's purse.
plus one collegiate points for the attempted correction please, minus the 5 i have to award to you for quoting an Epic movie leaves me at negative four =( yes the pun was slightly intended when i said Epic but only to the extent that would allow me to say no pun intended. good day Sir!

Just so everyone knows, right now amazon.com is showing as "Usually ships within 2 - 3 weeks." for me. Not sure why it suddenly jumped such a huge amount, it might be some amazon.com safe estimate thing, but it definitely has me worried that this phone will sell out. However they are offering it for a killer price.

it now says ships in 2-3 weeks!!!!!
im sorry, id much rather get it on launch from sprint for 350, and then get my $100 back 4 weeks later when you are just unboxing your phone

hmm should I go this route? no taxes ( about a $60 dollar savings here in Los Angeles ) plus I get $40 cash back if I use my amazon card. so thats a $150 savings..aside the instant rebate.
edit: its a no brainer. I just placed the order Im saving a good amount for the wait. est ship is September 14, 2010 - September 21, 2010.

So I guess the dates aren't arbitrary or random. Great to know that it's first come, first serve. I ordered mines yesterday morning and ship dates show sept 8-9.
Come the 31-1st if it doesn't ship and if I can happen to get one else where, I'll probably cancel. But deal was too good to pass up, so I had to get my place in line. I too hope it doesn't sell out, but as long as I can cancel before it actually ships, no biggie.
I like to look at it as insurance, if I happen to not be able to get it else where, at the very least I know I got a chance getting it on that date (so I hope).
I had the evo by the way.. returned it, but once it was sold out, it was sold out. So I'm making sure I get my epic before they go as well.

I just did this as a back up as well, but with the cost savings I might just stick with the Amazon order.
Do you know if we have to pay the activation fee when signing up through Amazon?
And if so, are we able to get it waived by using the AAA discount by calling sprint?
Edit: Looks like Amazon does charge the activation fee, bummer. But I have heard of people calling after activation to have work discounts or AAA discounts added and Sprint refunding the activation fee.

xoom only COSTS Best Buy $550!! WTF.

http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/0...ps-to-1199-99-but-it-costs-best-buy-just-550/
So this makes me think that the price will be significantly lower than $1200 or $800. If not at Best Buy, someone else who can deal with less than 40% margins will sell this thing in the $6-700 range.
F*** Best Buy and their either 45% or even more obscene 118% markups.

+1 Clearly it did...
They think they can place apple price point/margin(actually even more than apple!) without any track record to proove it... Its ridicules... They clearly want to gouge the first adopters, and a month later i can guarentee they will drop the price by 200$ (especially when ipad 2 is unveiled...)
Its a sad day that im considering and ipad 2 over xoom/other android 3.0 cause of PRICE.

$1,999 is a placeholder price.

Update: We've heard rumblings that this is indeed just a place holder -- much like the way other companies price products they don't want to sell at ridiculous levels -- and the final price will indeed be the $800 we've heard most consistently to this point.

Also, it isn't as if the Xoom will be the only quality Honeycomb device out there. If it cost too much for your taste, wait until cheaper 3.0 tablets arrive. Looking at the trend so far most Honeycomb tablets have almost the exact same specifications anyways.

That's crazy. When I worked at Best Buy a few years back, I found little (if any) markup on almost all laptops. Apparently they've decided that the Xoom is a different story.
I'd like to think that purchasing at a Verizon store will be a different story, but I'm sure there are all kinds of deals in place to keep prices uniform across the industry. It would probably be cheaper getting one shipped from Europe.
Oh well. I'm thinking the Galaxy 10.1 looks better than the Xoom anyway, so maybe I'll stick around to see how it turns out.

I hear ya there, SD card slot is a must in my mind for a tablet.
Love the design of the Tab 10.1 though, the backing looks so ergonomic.

If the xoom is locked down to modding like most other motorola stuff, the sd card won't be that big of a draw.
The markup is nuts, hence why I think you may be able to talk bestbuy into doing it out the door for 800, with the mobile service (that you can cancel).

You do realize a tablet like this would be price controlled by Verizon correct? Verizon controls prices of phones, just like ATT, Sprint, and Apple do.

well you have to take into consideration that BB is probably not going to make a killing on this product. If they were confident that they would sell a lot of Xooms, the price would be less. They would be able to make up for it in volume.
I agree about the mandatory Verizon data but from my understanding you have three days to cancel it and get your money back for that. I myself am going to keep the months worth of data...I've always been with AT&T and am curious about Verizon's service in my area.

You might be surprised what they will do if there is still profit to be made. You can negotiate on just about all big ticket items, especially at the end of the quarter when they want to increase revenue numbers. Never hurts to ask for something like 5 or 10 percent off. Worked for me on a digital camera I wanted and a stove. They took another $200 off my stove, even beat the internet prices I found.

As I said earlier pricing is controlled by Verizon
And that employee cost that you see, is not always the price that Best Buy pays for an item. Tablets that require internet activation are in an entire different realm of pricing structures (especially since this is a Verizon tablet).

trust me, BB gives it's opinion to Verizon on what it wants to sell any given item for in their store and Verizon takes that opinion into account when pricing. BB doesn't have to carry any given device.... and Verizon or any other carrier has to work with them on price(as well as many other aspects) if Verizon wants that device in store. You can be sure Verizon's pricing would be different if they anticipated BB would sell tons more of them than they will currently.
All I am saying is this: if this tab was going to sell like the iPad, the price would be less. Verizon nor BB have the luxury of making their profit thru volume with this device.

I know Best buy gives its opinion, but at the end of the day, its out of my hand. There are certain things like I said, that are price controlled regardless of how much Best Buy buys the item from. I'm sure Verizon also wants best buy to sell tons of xooms. During this past holiday I saw more people sold on buying tablets than laptops, sure the initial price is high, relative to what you get, but I'm sure it will come down.
And for what its worth, even though people here are complaining about the high price, this device will be extremely popular.
That being said if I see anything more in best buys system I'll try and post/make note of it

Anyone know where I can get the Lapdock for cheap or anyone selling?

Let me know guys. Thanks!

Got one at best buy for $399 but its.going back. Its overrated.
With all the threads today I'm actually trying to decide whether or not to ship my iPhone offto Gazelle and return the Atrix.
Powerful phone and very responsive.

There are things I love/hate about both the iPhone and Atrix, so I'm seriously caught in the middle. Any thoughts about why I shouldn't ditch the Atrix yet? You said wait, but I'm not sure "what" you wanted me to wait for

Some are selling on ebay for around $350.

not spending 500 bucks...
I'm in with the "cheaper dock" thing
I want the dock, I find the idea to be genial, but I do not see why I should pay $500 for essentially a screen, a keyboard and a battery.
So, anyone know of a cheaper source (or when - if - prices eventually go down), let me know. I'll keep subscribed to this thread

As I mentioned. Best Buy - $399.00 ($100 off)

You can order it from Motorola for around 360; granted I took my Atrix back before I got a chance to use it.
I love the idea but a lot of reviews and people with first hand experience said it was a little laggy.
If it was 200 bucks I'd grab one today though.

Not anymore, you can't. It is not available anymore in Moto's online store. Before they took the accessory down, they bumped up the price again to US$499.
Not sure if I even want to spend 400 bucks on it (bestbuy). I personally think that is still too much for this piece of hardware.

It's $299 from ATT after a $100 MIR. I can't post links yet, but just search for lapdock and it comes up.

Only applies for people on an AT&T plan. Where this does not apply, this is the same price as letstalk.com.
Thanks for pointing it out though, this is another place to order. And a good deal for AT&T customers

It seems the Lapdock is now on sale in Canada for a mere CAD 330 (as opposed to US$ 399 being the cheapest in US). Unfortunately, it seems futureshop does not ship internationally, so it seems there is no way for me to order it from there.
This, however, brings up an interesting pricing question: is Moto test-driving a different price in Canada, just to see how it sells? Does that mean the US price is going to drop, or does it mean the Canadian price is going to go up later on?
More importantly: how do I get this shipped internationally from Canada? Any ideas?

You do realise there's a HUGE difference between an iPhone and... well... any other phone, right? People flock to iPhones like gnats to a sweaty forehead. And not even just the US. Hell, i sold my iPhone 4 that i had since they came out to someone in Russia for $450. That was enough to cover the cost of the iPhone when i originally bought it, PLUS the Atrix. I've only ever seen one person NOT in an AT&T store that had an Atrix. Just about every smartphone you see on the street is some version of the iPhone. And with the 3GS now being $49.... I'd imagine that ratio will be even higher. People don't know how to find a good phone. They know what is crammed down their throat no matter where they turn... and that just happens to be any Apple product, really.
Hell... look on TV. You see at least 5 iPhone commercials for every single Atrix commercial... and they advertise the lapdock more than the phone itself it seems.

Dunno, they still seem to go for a fairly nice sum of money. I'd imagine it would still be rather nice a bit from now, especially being a dual core.

yeah store was closed here. I tried calling att to see if they would price match the 100 bucks at bestbuy and they told me nope and if i wanted bestbuy's price i should cancel and goto bestbuy. does att charge a restocking fee for canceling a plan within the 30 days?

Yes. Check their website for the exact amount.
BTW, they give this phone for free in Europe with contract.

Will it be worth it?

OK I'm not asking if the phone is worth $200 to YOU. I'm asking about me. I'm in high school and have a fair bit of money, and I don't really spend it on much since I got out of computer gaming. But I know there are always those people who will say "save every penny you can for your future". However, my Infuse is increasingly pissing me off. What do you all think?

It'll be worth it if you spend a lot of time on it surfing the Web / Facebook..

But beware you might get teased about the large size when you hold it to your face in public.

$200 is going to be the price you'll be paying for any cutting edge phone that you want to buy in the first few months of launch. So going by that, you really have no choice in the matter. Go buy the phone with no guilt.

Buy it. You will only live once.

If you're infuse is always pissing you off, then sure get a new phone. If you don't have to pay rent or for a car or for anything, then sure why not get it? If you're not moving out anytime soon I personally don't see a problem with it.

It'll also be locked here in the US to the carrier/operator. The price of $200 (probably more than likely closer to $300) that we're referring to is subsidized/on-contract. By all means, unsubsidized here, it'll most likely be ~$800 as well.

It'll also be locked here in the US to the carrier/operator. The price of $200 (probably more than likely closer to $300) that we're referring to is subsidized/on-contract. By all means, unsubsidized here, it'll most likely be ~$800 as well.

Oh with a contract

400 bucks
it says on Cellular that its 400 bucks with 100 dollar rebate and if you preorder online you get the instant 100 bucks,dang thats high for a on contract price

It is worth it to me to be able to dump Verizon. Hopefully the unlocked price won't be too high.

OK I'm not asking if the phone is worth $200 to YOU. I'm asking about me. I'm in high school and have a fair bit of money, and I don't really spend it on much since I got out of computer gaming. But I know there are always those people who will say "save every penny you can for your future". However, my Infuse is increasingly pissing me off. What do you all think?
Another question: When do you think AT&T will start pre-orders? If I do upgrade, I want it on release day

I think its totally worth it especially the on contract price.. which I don't mind being on contract since I have excellent service
And then I have people who say "okay once you get the phone how crazy will you look with that big phone to your ear"

Next year I'll be in high school, and I'm also thinking about buying this device.
Actually, it could be great for school. It's big, and with the S Pen you can make it your notebook.

Holy ****. What the hell.
Downgraded resolution, camera, and everything else is the same except quad core and RAM (which are useless upgrades for at least another year)
