for all those wondering where “thedude” got his fuze for $199. its due to the CUSTOMER LOYALTY PROGARM by att. basically after you excede a certain amount of months, you get a $50 discount and after some more, you get $100. this is only for phones over $200. its scaled down a bit more if you are purchasing phones for less

Interesting. I’m way out of contract — it was up 6 months ago. I guess I should call on the phone and ask AT&T what they can do for me.

Upgrade discounts vary on the average of your last 3 monthly bills as well as how long you have left on your contract. You can get anywhere from a waived upgrade fee to the waived fee with a $50 discount to the waived upgrade fee with a $100 discount.

I don’t get it. I’m eligible for an upgrade, but the price I see for the Fuze online is $299

“Your Price*
After Mail-in Rebate:
$299.99
* Pricing valid only on Premier.”

How would I get it for less?

Does anyone know why the claimed battery life on this phone is so much better than on the Sprint version?

I just went through the at&t site. I just hit my upgrade eligibility last week.

@mahtom:

why would it drop? the at&t tilt has barely dropped in price…same with some of the blackberrys and they have been out for a good year or more now.

it would be nice if it dropped down to $200 but still…money is tight this year…

I got the bold for 160 after rebate. I work authorized retail and we dont carry the iphone, so I deserve that price for the BOLD. holla.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again:

Verizon, you have fucking embarrassed yourselves by not releasing this phone in a timely fashion. I can only hope you have the good sense to release it in ‘08.

I’m eligible for an upgrade from my poor little 8125, but $300 is a bit steep for me, especially with Christmas coming up. If someone could point to where the $199 upgrade price is hiding, it’d be appreciated…

I live in Arizona in the Phoenix area and none of my local AT&T stores have the Fuze in stock! AHHH! My worst nightmare has come to pass…

They aren’t sure why, they said they were supposed to get it and they don’t know why they don’t have it..

I guess I’ll just have to get it offline.

To Doc,

Yes the phone does have accelerometer.

To The Rest,
I’m assuming the $199 price will be either through Walmart, LetsTalk or Wirefly.

P.S. – the BOLD rocks! :handface:

How do you get an upgrade discount?

By: Gary

Gary — Tue, 11 Nov 2008 15:43:25 +0000

..Yes it really is quadband umts…
And the only way you paid $199 after rebate is if you had an upgrade discount.

By: cadman

cadman — Tue, 11 Nov 2008 15:42:27 +0000

to thedude.

By: zephxiii

zephxiii — Tue, 11 Nov 2008 15:32:47 +0000

UMTS/HSDPA (850/900/1900/21000 MHz)

By: ben

ben — Tue, 11 Nov 2008 08:29:10 +0000

$300?? Yeah, so much for that. Sadly, the price probably won’t drop down either. I think I’ll go to t-mobile and pick up a G1. Peace out At&t. you have failed me.

I’d be surprised if people seriously considering the Touch Pro/Fuze would really go with the Omnia instead. I don’t think TouchWiz holds a candle to TouchFlo 3D

This is the same as the upcoming VZW Raphael, right? (I don’t care to hear “but VZW will cripple this” just want to clarify it is the same model)
The phone looks pretty sweet though unless a devoted WinMo user I imagine it will lose the battle against the Bold, IPhone, and even the upcoming Omnia.

My upgrade is this month and I’m looking forward to playing around with this phone.. I have a Vu but it isn’t cutting it for me.

Yeah, AT&T loves the wi-fi because it means less data being used in our data networks. I don’t understand what other carriers objection to this is.

By: Paul

Paul — Tue, 11 Nov 2008 04:38:30 +0000

WiFi on this one too! Amazing how AT&T seems to get it!
