Phone Upgrades
Does anyone know when either the Samsung D415 or the Moto V600 will be available for existing customers to purchase by calling T-Mobile? I called yesterday and 2 people said they were reading right in front of them that it would be available today. When I called back today, no one seemed to have a clue what I was talking about.

Are you talking about upgrading your phone through Tmobile? You should be able to buy the phone outright at anytime if you go into a store..of course it will cost you an arm and a leg. If you are looking to upgrade, I think you might have to wait awhile since it is a brand new phone. They normally price the phone high (even with new activation) and don't allow people to upgrade to brand new phones right away.
...
That sounds kinda stupid...why would a company not allow a customer to upgrade to a just released brand new phone if they're eligible to upgrade???
...
I was obviously wrong. Right after this post, Tmoto said it was available at his store for upgrade as of today. Sorry.

They are allowed to but it's just that the cost will be rather significant. This is why I never go to the direct store and go to athird party store like Car Toys, where I got my X-105 for free after all rebates.
If Car Toys is not in your area, then my next advice would be to check your local papers for the next major T-Mobile advertiser in your local area in order to try and squeeze out the deal for this. Chances are it may work out for the better more often than not. Just to illustrate my point, my friend living in NYC/NJ metro area just...

I understand that but say a brand new phone comes out and the promotional pricing is 199.99 with a 50.00 dollar MIR, would a customer eligible for promo pricing be able to get this pricing?
...
Yes, and especially if this promotional pricing is available for new activations then it will be available likewise for upgrades as well for those eligible customers out there.

Current customers are eligible for new customer rebates, they gotta fulfill 11 months of their current contract and resign a one year contact

I have been a T-MO customer for five months, using a Samsung SGH-E715. Yesterday I called customer service and ordered a V600. They told me the $299 price online is only for new customers. The upgrade price (as best I can recall) was $399. They gave me a $45 discount based upon my agreement to sign a new 1-year contract. So I actually paid about $350, and should receive my phone in 3 days. Hopefully they worked out the bugs 'cuz $350 is almost ridiculously expensive for a phone that is now "old!"

Should have stuck it out with the Samsung E 715. IMHO, that was the better phone. Motorola v 600 IMHO still has issues.

What Drama? Are you passing up a wide open opportunity to rip on Motorola? You must be feeling ill...

JDigital said:I'll give Moto props where they deserve it...they seem to be slowly reversing a quality landslide that produced some crap in the last couple of years. My t730 worked fine (except for the not so lound ear piece volume), and I recently used a v300 for a while and found it to be a nice phone (after the bugs had been worked out in later versions).

You're such a punk! What about this "leaking lubricant" business you harped on a few weeks ago? I TOLD you that phone wasn't a bad piece of equipment. Now you owe me a steak. 😛

JDigital said:A) I've never talked about steak with you in my life. B) I don't recall anything about a bad piece of equipment. and C) No! You're a punk! Stop hitting on me! LOL.

P.S. I swear the thing was leaking lubricant. Damndest thing I've ever seen a cell phone do.
P.P.S. Starr! Save me! He's mistaken witty banter for flirting!

How is my demanding a steak from you flirting? Have you been confusing the mating patterns of humans and lions again?

That's so weird. I ordered that exactsame phone for my wife earlier today and I got the phone for only $324 ($299 + $25 additonal) and we have only been with T-Mobile since January. Now, I did pay tax and shipping, but the actual PHONE price they gave me was $324 (same as the Samsung D415 I bought yesterday).
...
🙂 The phone is available right now. I work for T-Mobile and I was available at around 11:00 am today, the 28th. If you qualify for the price of a new customer, the price will be $299.99.
Call Customer Care again.
Hope this helps!
