Let me make sure I have this correct…

So if you preorder on Oct 19th, you’ll get it a few days after you preorder? (even though official release is early November)

So how is that a preorder and not an order?

It’s official — I ordered my iPhone 3GS via my employer sponsored plan! Bye bye TMOUSA — you were a good deal back in the day since 2003 but you just haven’t kept up with the phone offerings and pricing. Not so much of a deal anymore.

Since I’m in Southern California, I’m already on AT&T towers anyway, and they chip your phone so that you get worse signal with a T-Mobile phone. I compared with my sister’s identical AT&T phone and my T-Mobile phone, she got a signal in the garage and I couldn’t, with the phones put down side by side. WEAK! iPhone here I come! F*CK the TP2 and it’s $350 2-year contract pricing.

When i saw the (no longer relevant) article saying the cliq is going to be given away for free for a 2 year contract, i was thinking, wow, what a great move by t-mobile and motorola. People will be standing in line outside the stores to sign up.
TMO could have raised the ETF for those contracts, and maybe even increase the rate of the data plan a bit (lets say $30 a month?), and i believe people would still get those in masses.

Now, with the 200$ price, it’s just another android phone on the market. nothing special here. Silly greed.

@Steven

Yeah, I think a level-headed approach with T-Mo will get you the furthest. I’ve been with them since 2002 and because they’ve been so amazing with customer service, overall call quality (rarely ever do I get a drop), and network coverage (my phone always works and I travel quite a bit), I’ll be sticking with them for at least a little while longer.

I do have to say that it’s pretty frustrating watching everyone else play with their iPhones, Hero’s, (insert next big thing)’s here though while we’re stuck with the exorbitantly priced TP2 and uninspiring myTouch3G/upcoming Cliq.

They would make me extremely happy if they invested in a solid handset (N900 crossing fingers) and gave us a break on the price while they were at it.

Wow. The angst in here is amazing. T-Mobile has been a great company to me and my group of friends for years. Yes, the price on the CLIQ out of contract is high, but that doesn’t mean people should jump ship. It’s not like Sprint or AT&T are going to be kind to you. The phone will drop in price in two months after its release anyway, so don’t get your panties in a bunch and just wait a little while longer to buy the phone. Geeze.

TMOUSA execs have sh*t for brains. They are driving their customers away. I have been a loyal customer since 2003 but I’ve had enough. Between their TP2 pricing (which I thought would be the savior of the company, but, not at those prices) and their ongoing stupidty with being unable to secure good phones (ala Hero) or exclusivity with the TP2, they are going down. iPhone here I come in a few weeks!

Nevermind.
That’s only an APPROXIMATE retail value. Even though it is in a legal disclosure, that does not make it the true retail price.
Wishful thinking.

THE CAKE IS A LIE!
This whole ARV this is pissing me off.
Is the phone $362.00 according to T-Mobile?
Or is the phone $449 according to AndroidAndMe
I like the first option a lot more.

T-Mobile does not have their stuff together, or they arechanging their minds in the favor of profit. The Register For Updates promotion states they are giving out $38,010.00 worth of Cliqs. Which at the ARV of $362.00, which is stated in the contest rules, they are giving away 105 Cliqs. With a retail of $449.00 only comes out to 84.65 instant win phones. They’d have to up the total value of $47,145 if they still plan to give out 105 phones.

Get your shit straight T-mobile.
