TB pricing discussion - HTC Store Officially $700

[pyrosktrrlw0788]

So it looks like the pricing is official now, $700 without contract.

First, go to htc and make sure your zip code is entered.
HTC America

Then, go to this link to add it to the cart:
Add Thunderbolt to Cart

Then click 'Cart' in the top right, voil?!

So now that we know the price without a contract:
What do you guys think the price with a 1 year and a 2 year will be?

 

[upz3]

Anyone note if you then click the device in cart it gives you phone specs and it does have battery life expectations. Doesn't mention difference between 4g or 3G.

That is hack tastic

 

[superlawyer15]

You got it to work..?

Just click cart like he said.

Anyone want to be daring and try to complete the transaction?

Edit - looks like you can't. Oh well.

Well if you just simply go forward, it can;t do anything without a CC#, so just stop when they ask for it and see if you can find anything out before that point.

No HTC/Verizon phones pop up except the Dinc. Even a search for "Thunderbolt" turns up nothing found.

I tried. I got an error when proceeding indicating I had no products. It's a little weird hack to get it to show up in your cart in the first place.

yeah it works, just follow what the op posted. it worked pretty easy.

lol i dont have 700 to try it out..and it still says "coming soon" so i dont know how it will work.

 

[pyrosktrrlw0788]

So after clicking the link to add it to the cart, it won't really look like it did anything because it wants you to add a plan. But it added it to the cart without the plan, so just hit the 'Cart' in the top right.

So back to my initial question:
Pricing predictions for 1 year and 2 year contract?

 

[SUB-dawg]

it's not working for me.

 

[TBolt2011]

If you click 'continue checkout', you get the error message you see when you click the 'add to cart' link.

 

[SUB-dawg]

nevermind! i got it. it wont let me proceed to checkout though.

 

[Edwill86]

It wont let you proceed to check out. once you add a plan it deletes it from the cart.

 

[TBolt2011]

Time to get in touch with somebody and complain about the fact that we can't buy the phone we want. Gogogo!

Edit: and by that I mean politely ask an HTC rep (however you get ahold of them) why we are able to add it to our cart, but not purchase it. Maybe they'll tell us when it will be for sale?

 

[Secretagnt]

Did anyone else notice that on the information page of the phone it staes that you can make and receive calls on this phone outside of the US and Canada ?

 

[O.G Incredible]

I even tried paying over night shipping but it still didn't work ... Lol

Has the 1 year contract ThunderBolt price been released?

I'm expecting the price to be approximately $319.99 for a 1 year contract, since the 2 year price is $249.99.

It looks like for most other Verizon phones, a 1 year contract is usually $70 more than the 2 year contract.
Seems like a 1 year contract is a better deal.

$319 seems reasonable.
