i believe at&t has a 30 day price match offer that includes them dropping their own prices, so you should be able to get the difference refunded if your in one of those states.

I await your findings. I live in AZ and I just bought my Tilt like 3 weeks ago so I fall in the 30 days like you
Before I bought mine I asked them if by some chance the Tilt went on sale for cheaper than I got it for (399.99) would they price match. They assured me that it would not go on sale so I insisted the "what if". They agreed that if it did go on sale by some weird chance (like black friday weekend) then they would do a price match.
Still I'm curious what you find out.
Thanks!
TILT price match
Hi Guys!
I got ordered my tilt on 8th and got it on 12th. I think i will be eligible for Price match. I got it on a forced upgrade for 592 USD with tax. Hope i can save some money on it.
Please post your opinions and findings..
.... Raj
I live in St. Louis, MO area, although i'm not on one of those states listed, i bought my phone about 2 weeks ago from an At&t store, not a an authorized dealer and actually store by at&t and that was the first thing i asked my rep was what if the price in it drops the day after Thanksgiving will they offer me that, and she said yes, they have a 30 day price match, also i told them about the amazon.com offer of 200bux plus a 25.00 rebate for a total of 175 for the phone w/a 2 year contract, and they did a pretty close offer of 250.00 and i dont have to pay the 36.00 activation fee, so basically i paid 214 2 weeks ago for it, sure the amazon deal is cheaper, but the in person service is something i dont mind paying a little more for incase there's a mess up w/something i can go back to the store, which is only 5 minutes from me and talk to someone in person and get everything right.
So I just got back from the AT&T store and they gave me an additional $150 credit to my bill since I puchased the phone less than 30 days ago!
Anyone that has purchased their AT&T Tilt less than 30 days ago needs to contact their original point of puchase today and tomorrow only and they will recieve a 50% credit to thier purchase!
SCORE!
Wonder how that works if you bought it from the AT&T web site...
Call customer service. They might have to do a return repurchase maneuver.
Thats what the AT&T rep told me when I called in before visiting my local store where I originally purchased the unit.
What if you bought it from a retailer like CompUSA or from a website like Newegg? Will they still offer you a discount on it or do the retailers have to do that?
I spoke to an ATT rep who told me that if I go into any ATT owned store I can redeem the credit. I hope that's true because I bought the phone on my parent's side of town - hours away.
150$ Refund!!!
I called att sales today and they refunded my credit card 150$ however I didnt qualify for the 100$ mail in refund though.

what did you say to them?!
I went down to the ATT store I bought mine from and I didn't qualify for the 50% off because-
a) I didn't have the data plan added on my phone (39.99 $/month)
I would have qualified if I just added the data plan on for that month BUT it would have screwed up my super mega ultra ridiculously low plan that already has unlimited internet access.
Was anyone able to pull off the half off without having the pda connect plan that is 39.99? If so, can you PM me the phone number of the ATT store so I can call them and see if they will credit me?
Sorry if this is redundant to Black Friday post but I thought it was worthy of attention.
If you have purchase an AT&T tilt within the last 30 days, the original purchase point will credit you back 50% of purchase price today through Sunday only! (Fri.23, Sat.24, Sun.25))
I just got them to credit back $150 to my account! I thought that the credit was post rebate, which would have made the credit $100, but I got the full $299 price reduced by half! SCORE!
Everyone that can should take advantage of this rare gift from AT&T.
i believe it's only certain states that get the 50% off.

same here I'm in Missouri and I bought mine on the 13th this month, so maybe they'll drop the prices here in a week or so.
I called an ATT store and they said there's no credit back or any discount on a purchased tilt!!
what if you ordered the tilt from the premier site?? Does this count for a 50% refund?
30 day price matching
I had to physically go into the store but others were able to call in.
Don't let them bull**** you and tell you otherwise, everyone is eligible, the caviat being it had to purchased from AT&T direct.

Do you live on the west or east coast? I'm on the east and went to the AT&T Tilt page on their site. If I put in my zip code, it's still $300. If I put in a zip code from the west coast (I tried San Francisco, California), it's $150.
Called ATT just right now and they credited my account 150$. It took me 45 min and asking for the supervisor to get to it. Now im just waiting for the 100$ rebate to sweeten the deal.
I was only able to get $100.00 but I ordered it back in mid Oct. so I missed the 30 days by 5 days! But then I'm not going to sneeze at $100.00!
I just (2 hours ago) bought a tilt from ATT website for 399 w/ 100 rebate. R u telling me I can get another 150 back? I dont care if it took two hours - I would love to get my phone for 150. What is the offer info?
Damn I order it back when it first came out.
just add an additional line for $149 after $100 rebate
Can someone give me the info on the deal? I can find the 50% off select phones, but I cannot find any HTC, much less Tilt incl in the offer. I would like to get 150 back - who wouldn't? - and if I have the info I will, but what am I going to say, "People on the forum are getting it - why can't I?"? I am not too confident with that approach. If you got the deal there had to be an offer - so where can I see the offer besides word of mouth?
Please.

I just went in and purchased the Tilt and got the 50% offer. Now as mentioned it's in 'select' states but I think a simple call to a local office should suffice. I will say that when I went in, it was marked at that price too. It's basically $249.99 with a 2yr Contract (new or eligible upgrade) less the $100 mail-in rebate... here in Sacramento, CA... so net price of $149.99 after rebates + tax.
As to the refund... well I'd think you'd only be eligible to get that as if you were going to return it and re-buy it. Under that criteria, if you can do that, then you should be entitled to the refund. If it was purchased online, etc., not too sure what the specifics would be...
Thanks! I will check it out tomorrow. For sure.

Good luck! If you're within 30 days, there should be ZERO reason for them to give you any problem - provided it was from an AT&T Corp store. I'd position it as 'Well I can just return it and then re-buy it.' Maybe choose better wording but you get my point...
the torrent of swears that i have to unleash because i bought my phone 2 days too early would without a doubt get me banned from this forum.
hmm..i vvas gonna ask this today but too busy vvorking at the mall...ill ask tomorrovv
hey guys,
I was about to put this up on ebay but then I suddenly decided to offer it up on here since it is this place that helped me get it up and running with a good ROM in the first place.
I have used this tilt for less than a week. I have never dropped it and there are no scratches. I used it for the BB connect and when it comes to BB nothing does it better than an actual BB. while the Tilt is better than the BB in every other way... I realized that I never use anything else the phone offers.
anyway... I can provide pictures if you want. I just need to take a couple good ones (attached ones I took with iPhone are all blurry).
I have all of the original packaging. I also have a new never opened 3-in-1 2gb Micro SD card (Sandisk) and Car Charger (ATT Branded) to go with it.
Im not looking for any specific price... just make me a reasonable offer.
Is there a reason you don't just return it?
Ok I have heard of people getting these for several prices so reasonable could be any number. I'll give ya $125
because I hate dealing with AT&T customer service and would rather take a loss than go through the pain.
I honestly dont need nor care about the money.
Will even take a trade if its interesting enough
and I would rather offer a good deal to someone on this board (lots of great people here) than give it back to ATT.
ill offer 126.00 because i can get it thru premier for 150 but id rather not give att any more money then the 300$ each month i give them
on a side note you should try selling it on hofo i let a tilt go few months ago for 510$ shipped on there..granted it was NIB but still
126$ isnt off the table... but would anyone happen to have a GPS unit Like a garmain or tomtom) they would want to trade for it?
does this phone still have warranty through at&t? like is the imei clean?
no reason it wouldnt be. came direct from ATT. arrived March 21 and I started using it on March 27. I was out of town on business when it came in.
would this work / also I have sent you a PM

yeah I know... for some reason my other line of txt didnt make it in there... I said that as a joke... the international shipping alone would be too much hassel.
so to clarify... no international shipping... lower 48 only. I am in Ohio to give you an idea of where it will be coming from.
Heading out to work shortly, will check mail from mobile for a reply to my PM. Thank You.
actually chumley, £80 is about £160 USD
the exchange rate for 1GBP is about 2.1USD
remind me not to let any of yall exchange my money.
Ill give your $200 for it, that $74 higher than anyone else and you can keep your memory I have an extra 8gb. I just really do hope its in the condition your saying its in.

were priveleged like that. then we get to pay taxes and die. we even get to pay taxes FOR dying.
$200 is the best offer so far.
Keep in mind that I WILL take a trade. so offer whatever you have... doesnt need to be cell phone related
I'll choose a winner at 5pm eastern. there is 2.5hrs from this post.
we can do it however you want. I can even organize with you to create an ebay auction and have you buy-it-now as soon as I up it. I take paypal as well... can send invoice for your protection.
if you want high quality pictures before you submit payment then I can do that tonight or tomorrow morning.
Apologies if this sounds a bit spammy but it is a cool deal for the UK. Log on to Quidco (cashback site) and you can order a diamond very cheap untii the 24th july, Mine will hopefully arrive tomorrow, so a restless night for me. To add to the £175 cashback you get 11 months half price and I think, though it isn't clear on the website unlimited data: http://www.quidco.com/mobiles-utilities/phones-4u/
Again sorry for spammy looking thread, I am just so excited to be getting a diamond for what averages less than £18 pm, Orange Dolphin 35. Farewell beloved artemis.
Is there anything as well as the £175? because Mobiles2yourdoor give £210 in cashback on top of quidco. Its not in one lump sum, but it makes it work out at £20/month too.
How did you work out £20 with only £175 cashback? on an 18m contract thats a lot more than £18/month...
£18.47p/m over 18 months.
Sorry I think I may have slightly miscalculated a little (god bless my "O" level maths), on reflection, 11 months half price= 11 x £17.75=£192.5, + 9 months @ £35 =£192.5+£315= £507, -£175(cashback)= £332.5. £332.5/18= £18.47p/m. I hope I got that right because my diamond should come in the morning and at the moment I've been paying £20+ p/m for a sim only deal on my orbit from O2 with a lot less mins and less texts and NO DATA! But actually I just don't care as long as I get a diamond (lust,lust). I guess I am a bit of a mug!
Dolphin 35 = £35p/m, orange website says unlimited web browsing on that + 600 mins any network, unlimited landline + more texts p/m than I use in a year. I hate trying to figure out a good deal, I know I'm paying far too much for my ****ty talktalk broadband as well! wtf.
I went with m2yd via quidco - Dolphin £35 /pm, £55 quidco cashback plus £210 cashback over 18 months - this worked out at £20.28/m
Your deal is only £19.26 cheaper over 18 months
And yet you get £175 cashback from quidco (£125 more than me) and your p4u cashback is £17.50 less than me - so in theory you should be £107.50 better off - so where has the other £88.24 gone?

You are saying 11 months + 9 months. It will actually just be 11 months + 7 months surely.
Therefore: 192.5 + 245 = 437.50.
This then means: 337.50 - 175 = 262.50.
That is £14.58 a month.
That is cheap, but P4U can be dodgy. Like my first Diamond was faulty, Orange replaced it the very next day. (I phoned them at 5.30pm, phone was in my hands at 10am the next day). I doubt P4U would give the same service. Just a warning. Plus, when I enquired about buying through P4U, the guy on the phone said I would only receive 250MB a month, not 500MB. Might be worth looking into while you are still in cancellation period.
Oh, and should probably warn you, I've heard getting your cashback from both P4U and M2YD can be hell. Send everything recorded or special delivery, and take a copy of everything you send. Phone them to confirm receipt etc. Keep on top of it basically. If I remember correctly, if you miss one 'rebate', all future ones are lost too?
Personally I think the best deal was over the weekend just gone. £150 Quidco from Orange (which was a limited offer), and then Dolphin 35 at £30 a month. Worked out at about £21 a month.
I don't think the quidco offer of £175 has any additional half price line rental cashback, so in effect its just 35*18= 630 - 175 =566/18 = £25.27/month.
Not quite as good as mobiles 2 your door but no need to bother with cashback claims I guess. Its still pretty good, when the N95 was released it was never as heavily subsidised as the diamond is at the moment.
I did wonder if that would actually be the case, as £15 seemed very cheap. That is only £270 total for 18 months! I think your figure of £25 is accurate. Having just gone through Quidco and proceeded through to the checkout on P4U it seems that the initial £175 is all you would get. Personally I am kicking myself for ordering 2 days before Orange's weekend offer came online. Lost £100 by being so keen to get a Diamond. Lesson learned.
To reiterate, it looks like £25 a month, with possibly less or no data included, and a poorer service perhaps. Might be worth reconsidering your purchase.
remember you have distance selling or 'cooling off' as some like to call it since you ordered online. So if you don't like those numbers you can cancel and return it. You'll probably need to pay for postage tho (ONLY if they stated that when you purchased, if they didn't you don't have to pay anything, and actually have 3 months to send it back lol)
Immediately after ordering online I phoned P4U and the "kind" person told me it was 11 months half price as well. I guess she was unaware of the quidco deal. And is 11+9 not 18 lol. I hope the calculator on the diamond has an idiot button for me to press, My data info is from the orange website: http://shop.orange.co.uk/shop/paymonthly ,But maybe I will try and haggle with orange later. Just gimme da phone!
OK, I got the diamond Wow. I phoned Orange (yuk, almost wrote iphone, **** I did), the unlimited data is correct, so I called P4U and there is definitely no 11 months half price, sorry if I misled anyone. The bottom line is £25 p/m, I'm still happy with the deal so far, I think my partner will get one too. Quidco has always worked for us in the past with things like car insurance and home insurance, so I'm fairly confident they will honour the £175 cashback.
Hey,
I live in Toronto, Canada, I went on the google website to buy the nexus one, and the price it gives me for the phone including shipping is $556 US dollars.
In the shipping policy section it says your respective province/country might charge you the taxes at the time of delivery. My question is will I get charged taxes at the time I pick up my package? I have ordered stuff online from the states before and I have not been charged tax for those items or any extra fees on top of what I payed at the time of purchase (I ordered 60 dollars worth of clothing before).
As a little experiment I changed my shipping address from Canada to my friends address in the states, and the price is identical. Is the 556 US dollars the FINAL price americans/canadians pay for the phone?
Thanks for all your help.
I paid 529.00 in total, so I think you might be getting pinged with the taxes up front?
It should have it broken down in the final checkout screen! But try here they have a contact number also so you can always give them a call to see, best of luck to you...

haha thats messed up, after experimenting with the states address, I no longer get charged for shipping but instead I get charged US dollar tax, lol and it comes out to be 10 dollars more, $566. I dont know how you got away without paying tax or any shipping. Lucky you
Now I dont know whether to risk getting it shipped to Canada for 556 and end up paying tax on it at the time of pick up. Or to ship it to the states and pay 10 dollars more for tax? Darn taxes.
Thanks for the quick reply eh.

Oh DAMN, I guess I would save that 80 dollars by shipping it to the states right? I am planning on going to my friends place in 2 weeks.
Now one more confusion, when I select a states address for shipping, I get a choice between fedex ground, 2nd day air, and overnight. What doesnt make sense is that picking fedex 2nd day air charges 5 dollars extra, but picking fedex overnight or fedex ground doesnt charge any extra. Shouldnt fedex overnight charge the most for shipping?
Thanks for your help and your quick reply.
Yes, you will have to pay GST, a broker fee, and in your case PST to the courier before they will hand over the package to you. If you're looking for a way to escape the PST you might try and move to Alberta. We don't have any!

Be sure that you do NOT buy the "rogers compatible" one.
Get the one that is tmobile/wind -- it will still work on robbers, just be stuck to 2G, plus in addition, it will be compatible with wind and moblicity/dave.
With robbers data charges (being robbery) it is hard to justify data on their service anyways.
Or just phone up Fido and ask for the $30/month 6GB plan. I actually bargained them down to $20/month for the 6GB.
As for picking it up in the states, you can save money that way as long as you are willing to lie to border patrol and say you didn't buy anything.
I got charged almost 90 dollars by the delivery man for customs charges.....so add that to your total cost.
I live in SW Ontario btw....
Well if he is on Fido he should get the rogers compatible device unless he is planning on making the switch to Wind.
Is the 6GB plan back? was taken away months ago, its why i haven't left rogers, since I know I won't get it back.
And yes grabbing it from your friend is the best option.
Duplicate post. Sorry.
Yeah, the 6GB plan is back. But not advertised. They brought it back to offer people who want to go to Wind. If you are patient enough, or lucky enough to get the right person you can get the deal you want.

Depends on the state. You won't get charged by Google for tax in some states.
Thanks for the feedback everyone.

I shipped to Canada and the overall cost of my nexus was $650.
