got it off ebay (free shipping) just wondering if i got the average deal or not
They seem to go for between $330 and $390 on the US site, just do a search for 8125, select phones only and show completed items only. In saying that, not all of them are new, but quite a few claim to be at least. $400 looks to be top end of the market price, but if you're happy with the phone and can afford the asking price then just enjoy it and don't go window shopping after the purchase, it can and usually will lead to disappointment, since you will always find something cheaper after you've handed over your money.
^ good point lol. buyers remorse sucks
btw i love the 8125.. my first HTC phone (first PPC at that) and it most definately wont be my last.
Definitely on the top end range to pay $400. You should try craigslist.org in your area. I just bought a brand new 8125 for $280 last month via craigslist. I met with the seller and fully inspected the item before I bought it. So less risk and much cheaper than ebay. Something to try on your next purchase.
Hi
If you sing up for a 2 yr plan with Cingular or T-Mobile...you can get the MDA/8125 free after rebate from www.letstalk.com

Almost one year old post
You were fooled (as i was too) by the new automatic sorting of the forum; threads are being sorted by the title instead of the date.
I bet a mod or an admin touched somewhere he shouldn't have and still didn't notice.
???
wow I paid $249 + $9 ship earlier this year in Janurary. Absolute mint condition, there were lots of 45 at a time. I'd think prices have since dropped and will really drop when iphone releases in a couple days?? If you paid over $300 since then that sucks... : \

Just wondering what kind of deals people have seen on the Bionic. It almost seems like 3rd parties werent really pushing this phone. I know Costco had an ad with some accessories, but I also saw in the ad that it might not be on opening day.
Has anyone else seen anything worthwhile?
unfortunately nothing special as of yet. i have heard that you can do the $100 off trade-in deal if you are upgrading from a non-smart phone. other then that just accessories.
I got the 100 off for using a non smart phone upgrade then 50 off the new every two rebate. See what happens.
Phone Arena's reporting Costco's doing $280 + a nice accessories bundle.
I was in Costco today. They said they would have 8 tomorrow at this store. He wouldn't say the price but claimed it came with $170 worth of accessories including a dock. He did say they would be cheaper than the Verizon stores.
I am seriously considering this phone instead of my Droid Charge.
Im getting rid of my Charge for this phone. I just cant take the battery drain any more.
I wonder if Amazon or anyone else will be running big specials.

Probably be some deals within a couple weeks, but I doubt it this week.
I just logged into my verizon and the upgrade price they have for me is $249. I totally expected $299.
I got this price by logging into the main phone account on a family plan and attempting to upgrade a secondary line.
$249 at amazonwireless
$50 for NE2, $30 off as loyalty bonus, free o/n shipping.
So one major gripe most reviewers had has been reduced. At $219, unlimited data and rooting it seems like a better deal, somewhat worthy of the delay.
I guess all new smartphones would receive such discount, but by most accounts the bionic is a capable phone and a significant jump from my D1.

For new customers only, unfortunately. Upgrade is $249.
wow didnt know verizon had it cheaper. was about to go to BJ's to buy it as I usually do, since the price for the phone is generally the same and they have better deals on the accessories. Thanks for saving me the money.
EDIT: just went to VZW and it only wants to give me a price of $289 with no loyalty bonus. I am part of a family plan but that shouldnt matter. I have been eligible since july for upgrade. amazonwireless says its backordered.
Checked this morning and:
Wirefly.com was $249
Amazon.com was $199 ( backordered)
Letstalk.com was $199
I'm hoping BJs/Costco will drop the price to $199 and waive the activation fee for me
Walmart.com also has it for $199. stores don't have them yet. Just checked. Don't want to wait though. Plus I'm always paranoid about a 3rd party seller screwing up my plan and charging me extra. Especially my unlimited plan.

$269 in store plus $100 trade-in credit for old phone when adding a line.
Can anyone confirm the $249 price with verizon for upgrading a current line?
I am secondary on a family plan, and my upgrade isn't until 9/13, but the extra $50 off makes the deal a little easier to swallow. As far as loyalty, we have been good customers for at least 5 years, not sure how they do their calculations as to who is "loyal"

I am also secondary on a family plan and the best I got was $289. Just got mine a little while ago. Been with verizon for 8 years, but only 2 have been on the family plan I am now. Guess they dont count the other time before that.

My mistake, this price was listed on my verizon for me because I had a $50 phone credit that I was unaware of. When I asked the verizon rep he said that all family plans are credited this $50 every 20 months.
I went in to the store today and got the Bionic for $289 without an upgrade and almost 50% off some accessories. Got the phone $589, a extended battery and door $49.99, case and holster $29.99, HDMI dock $99.99, and screen protectors $12.99 plus 24.43 tax and out the door for $431.63. Saved $375.75
16gb nexus 7 deal.
Buy this before it gets sold out because of £20 discount for new customers (looks like code seems to work for existing customers too as reported elsewhere) so probably everyone can get 20£ off till tesco rectify the mistake or £10 off for existing customers via tesco direct. Delivery free for collection at store or get it delivered home for a additional charge. price includes 20% VAT by the way.
see discount codes and useful videos for the nexus 7 (including cases, apps, reviews etc) on this youtube playlist for the nexus 7 which is regularly updated with new videos time permitting!
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL07BDA26279B1EAF6&feature=mh_lolz
buy from http://www.tesco.com/direct/asus-go...1.prd?skuId=478-1521?icid=homepage_supp_slot3 but dont forget the discount codes
Hope this gets some here the 20£ off before stocks run out. stock alert came this morning from tesco.
credit for discount codes goes to hotukdeals website but got alerted to tesco stock early today by email from tesco.
Personally verified £10 discount code, the new customers code for £20 needs to be verified by someone else as my wife said she would kill me if i bought another one using a new account for her.
Update: Use cash back websites like quidco and topcashback and you can get extra cash back on your tesco purchase. £20 codes seems to work. But just read elsewhere that the £20 code excludes technology products so risk is transaction might be cancelled by tesco or might stop working for new purchases. Guess few might be lucky till tesco amend their systems to exclude the code.
update 2: Topcashback 3% cashback
£20 discount for order over £150 using this code: TDX-Y7LM
Collect in store next day, so saving £10 delivery too compared to google play store.
179 clubcard points
Total saving £30 over play store (£20 voucher + £10 delivery) plus additional 3% cashback 179 clubcard points
Edit. Please note the codes seem to change often or sometimes don't work. See updated on YouTube playlist and further links and updates on that YouTube playlist.
Worked
Worked for me! Thanks very much :good:

Dont forget the quidco or topcashback for going to tesco purchase as you get further cash back via these sites! Which makes this deal and even bigger deal.
Thanks for posting this!
update. looks like out of stock now at tesco due to the rush of buyers. but try the codes when it comes back in a few days as it most certainly will.
Cancelled
Well the order I placed earlier has been cancelled by Tesco :crying:
Presumably they didn't want to honour the £20 saving offer.
I had already cancelled my HMV order too
Just my luck. Guess I'll just wait for it to appear in my local Currys.
Edit: Thought I would quickly check Currys website and would you believe it was showing as in stock for home delivery and reservation!
Reserved one and rang them to confirm it wasn't a glitch and it is correct. Picking, mine up in the morning

I got my delivery confirmation email. Am collecting it tomorrow evening. Looks like from hukd forums there have been 700 confirmed orders and 300 or so orders without it being in stock due to some glitch in their system. Try again when stock comes back. Set up am email alert for stock on their website as i had done a week ago. They emailed me at 0530am today hence ordered before it went out of stock. Any deal that gets posted on hukd soon goes out of stock as many folow that website. Usually many websites crash with referral from hukd as too many buyers try to buy at once. Best of luck when it comes back in stock as it surely will since tesco is UKs biggest retailer
back in stock now, need to register new account to get the £20 code to work as it is already associated with the cancelled order yesterday, hope its not another **** up their end
I just ordered one from Tesco Direct using the £10 off any purchases over £50.
Collect it tomorrow!
They aren't honouring the £20 code any more, comes up with "excluding electricals", £10 off code still works though.
Just ordered myself after cancelling the HMV order.
£175 in total including next day delivery tomorrow, that's using the £10 off code and staff discount, well chuffed :good:
Ordered mine yesterday using £20 off.
Being delivered today at some point.
Whats the £10 off code? I can't for the life of me seem to find it? The £20 off one doesn't seem to work anymore.
Don't bother tesco are worse than google I got this deal yesterday and they cancelled it what a bunch of w...... I rather give my money to google now and stay loyal to them be warned.

Why be loyal to any multi-national corporation? Neither care about you, why should you care about them?
Now gone to "not available" on Tesco website, damn I'm on hold to google cancelling my order!

Don't think i'm meant to have one of these! :crying:
Just had this from Tesco :
We're sorry, but we're unable to complete your Tesco Direct order #######.
We work hard to make sure we have no problems with our deliveries, but in this case,we got it wrong.
The total refund that will be processed for items affected is £ 174.6
We've already started your refund - it usually takes 3-5 business days for any payment to appear in your account.
So i ordered as it was showing in stock, they took payment straight away and then 3 hours later i get that, not at all happy!

The same thing happened to me! I hope that Google don't action my request to cancel my order now, otherwise I will be seriously annoyed at Tesco...
This is just my experience, this is very YMMV (your mileage may vary) and depends on the rep you get and how you treat them/what you say.
I was upset that amazon was taking 2-3 weeks to get me my phone. I called sprint telesales and played dumb. I asked the cost and of course it was 249.99. I told them that I have seen phones priced at 199.99 and it seemed to me like i was paying for the 149.99 discount which was "unfair and disappointing* as many of us were complaining about. Played the loyal customer card, She talked to supervisor and they over rided the price. Had to endure listening to those terms and now the phone should be here in 3-4 days instead of weeks. With my triple a discount, it comes to 199,99 + 12 shipping + tax, around 220. However no activation fee (thanks to triple a). If your ordering through a third party and not happy, i would suggest trying this out.
If it doesn't work, try again. You can call in and say you got cut off but they were in the process of applying the $50 discount and you didn't get the customer service number for your ticket. You could try for even more off but odds are it won't work.
Good Luck!
I got mine at 199.99 at Sprint Stores, told them if they dont give me the phone for the promo of 150.00 i will go to another company, they told me that they could offer me for 199.99. So i got it
Just got off the phone. Asked politely and they agreed! Got it for $199 + tax + $12 shipping.
Hoping to get it soon!

What number do you use to get to telesales? I'm getting a bit pessimistic about my Costco preorder shipping friday. If I order tonight from telesales, it should ship tomorrow and there's a good chance I have it Friday or Saturday.
Also, what's this triple account you mention in order to get the activation waived?
Thanks!
Got mine at the store for $199. The rep wanted to sell accessories so bad that he dropped the price of the phone to buy a spare Battery and charger for my wife's note 2.

Last week Woot.com offered new 32GB Nexus 5 phones for $149.99 plus $5 shipping. Sounded like a good deal and a lot of people bought them. They sold out. Then people started receiving their orders and discovering that the phones were 16GB refurbs instead. Pitchforks came out:
http://www.woot.com/forums/viewpost.aspx?postid=6806492&pageindex=1
It looks like Woot got conned by their vendor. In the end Woot wound up giving everyone half their money back and a free year warranty if they wanted to keep the phones, or a full refund and a $30 coupon if they wanted to return them.
Posting it here because the Woot forum thread might be of interest. It's certainly full of drama.
