Amazon sells it for $175 with $25 rebate. Just placed an order and hope I can get it before the Thanksgiving holiday.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] fone_fanatic:
If you read the amazon reviews people are getting their confirmation email and its telling them that they will receive the device end of December...
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Sunira:
I had initially placed my order for this phone through Amazon but then I was quoted a December 31st ship date! I thought there must be some mistake so I called their help desk and told them I had ordered the phone and even paid for one-day shipping and they told me it didn't matter because they weren't actually getting the phones at their warehouses until mid-late December! I wouldn't wait up, I guess.

I bought mine in an AT&T store for 370. Can I return it and get it cheaper some other way? And STILL have it on my plan?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] bpm2000:
must be running low. i ordered o nthe 18th with "2 day shipping" and the estimate is November 26th delivery lol.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] mattyv:
the coupon only works once and the 25 percent coupon seems to be dead
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] kgbeezr1:
Excellent! Thanks for posting. I had been searching high and low for a coupon code that would work with upgrades, and this one does.

Are you opening a new account, or upgrading? Just curious.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] tenxo:
ESC25 enter this code for $50 off tried it 11/21/08
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] californiarailroader:
That's incorrect, they are in stock at Amazon now (they originally were due to be in stock this Saturday, Nov,22nd, I guess they got them in a day early), I ordered mine this week and will have it early next week from them :) I can get the $25 rebate for sure, though Premier has a $50 rebate and I may try for that.

Edit-What reviews on Amazon did you read? There are only 2 reviews on there for the Fuze, and neither one even mentions email form Amazon-

http://www.amazon.com/review/produc...cm_cr_acr_img?_encoding=UTF8&showViewpoints=1
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] fone_fanatic:
oops, not reviews, but in this discussion. The original poster is given an estimate of dec. 31st and 2 others say their estimate is dec. 17th. But the latest post mentions that they are now back in stock and there is a little trick he did (change shipping method then return it to original shipping method) and it updated his estimated ship date to the 26th.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] californiarailroader:
Ahh, okay. I remember when they first showed up on Amazon's site, the page said they'd ship in 4-6 weeks, then this past weekend that changed to Nov.22nd. Now they are showing them as in stock, so I am guessing they got them in a day early.

Edit-From their site tonight-

HTC FUZE Smartphone, Black (AT&T)

Buy new: $499.99 $174.99 (when purchased with new service plan)

Rebates: $25.00

Price After Rebates: $149.99

In Stock

Eligible for FREE Super Saver Shipping.

I ordered mine with 1 day shipping, if they're in stock it should ship out today and be here Monday, though the date is still showing the 26th (I originally had 2 day shipping selected). Those are estimates, so I'm sure they update them as they go.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] fone_fanatic:
ahh ok, yeah i noticed that about 2 days ago when i was researching options to buy the phone.. but just realized right now that amazon is out for me because:

oh well.. i guess i just have to get it from at&t, which isn't a problem its just that my premier discount isn't showing up when i try to upgrade device online.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] californiarailroader:
Yeah, that's the one thing Amazon doesn't do is Family Share Upgrades. It's kinda odd, because you can do them at letstalk and wirefly.

When I looked at upgrading to the Fuze online from AT&T, they showed no discount either, just the $50 mail-in rebate. I checked a little deeper and apparently my Premier isn't doing any discounts for it, or at least I can't find any.

Edit-Letstalk has them for $249 with upgrades (free after rebates on new lines only), and Wirefly has them for $224 after rebates for contract extensions.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] rrider77:
I also placed an order with amazon on the 17th and the estimated shipping is also on Nov 26th.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] californiarailroader:
Did you get 2 day shipping?

Edit-Since it's now showing the Fuze as in stock, I'd think our orders would ship out today, and that would move the arrival date up a day. Check again on your order, Nov.26th would be the arrival date.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] johnny13oi:
I find that none of these codes work on an extension with a family plan. I did however try and mess around and got the EWC50 code work multiple times to get the phone for free if opening a new line. Don't think it would work though because they would probably catch it.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] fone_fanatic:
in the [Q] How much did you pay for your Fuze? i remember someone stating that they got it for $199.99 by upgrading on att premier site. Also another person suggests calling in before placing the order and making sure all your premier discounts are there and some even got the $18 upgrade fee waived.

Right now not even the $50 MIR is showing up for me, and my $100 upgrade advantage discount, which was there a week ago when i considering the bold, is missing as well. Like i said in the other thread, i'm just gonna hold out till black friday, and if i can't get a good deal then, i'll just call up att and ask why my premier discounts aren't showing up. I just hope they'll still be in stock!
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] californiarailroader:
It's the same on my Premier too, the rebate is missing now, though it seems to come and go, it's probably an error somewhere. Oh, I have an update on my Fuze order at Amazon-

"Shipment #1: Shipping Soon We are preparing these items for shipment and this portion of your order cannot be canceled or changed "

WooHoo!
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] rrider77:
Ya I have the 2 day shipping and mine still says the 26th.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Fenny:
You can get the phone for FREE after MIR when you purchase it off of http://htc.letstalk.com/ with a compatible voice plan. (AT&T Nation 900 w/Rollover® or better). then if you are on premiere, just activate your service discount online via your corporate link.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] clia:
Thanks for pointing this out.

amazon.com ran into technical difficulties in early afternoon yesterday. No cell phone orders could be placed during that time period. After about 2 hours the problem was resolved and at the same time, the inventory status for this item was changed from "Ship on 11/22" to "in stock".

I placed my order at about 4:50 pm yesterday afternoon (PT) - the order status pages showed immediately the estimate delivery day on 11/26 with a note of "credit check may delay..." (I am existing att customer). By early morning today, it changed to "shipping soon"

With free 2 day shipping selected, I expect to have it delivered on Tuesday 11/25 if they can send the package out today.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Dinghani:
I bought the FUZE from Amazon on the 18th and just checked and unit has been shipped. With 2nd day shipping should get it early next week, just in time to use on the long T-day drive.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] californiarailroader:
I just got an update from Amazon saying my Fuze had shipped, it's 1 day shipping so it will be here Monday, I'm stoked!

Edit-Yep, UPS says it's on it's way and on time, it'll be here Monday :)

Free ATT Fuze using the EWC50 code?

Okay am I crazy or can this actually be right? My girlfriend just signed up with ATT and got set up with a family plan for us. She got the Iphone already and what not AND the family plan as I wasnt ready to get my phone yet the lady at the ATT store said I could just come in and get added onto the plan with the fuze when I was ready. Makes sense right. Well I read this thread and decided to give it a shot and went through the check out and what not and put in the EWC50 code after going through everything, plan etc etc... obviously fake plan since she already has one. I really just wanted to see if the code worked. Well I put it in a BOOT load of times and I came up with the end price being free.. FREE.. I wouldnt even have to pay $50.00, what the hell this cant be right?

Is there a way to go in and add my phone in online? Cause if this is right and I can get the phone FREE as opposed to going into the store and buying it then that's obviously want I want to do!

Take a look at the two screen shots I've attached. The first just shows the "mock" plan and what not I set up for this test purchase run through. The second shows the final check out price. Like I said I put in the promo code the EWC50 a few times and it came down to that price. I would just hate to actually run it through and have them call me up screaming haha!

Let me know what you think though.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] iservealot:
I see that too.

Did you try placing the order?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Aaron McCarthy:
Free Fuze

Just placed the actual order. I logged into her account, which like I said was set up with the family plan already... went through and added a line to the account.. picked the fuze, then added on the data and voicemail.. went to check out.. and the code was still active from playing around with it before and placed the order... nothing was charged.. Here's a screen shot of my bill.

Notice it says in the summary: "Total Savings Today $349.00"

IF this does work.. I went into the account right after and it didnt show anything in there showing the order, mind you it could be because its 5:12 am and the order hasnt actually been processed yet, then this is the best deal ever.

That said.. If they still mail the 50 dollar mail in rebate thing I am going to just laugh my ass off... Apparently its what? a 50 dollar visa car thing that can be used anywhere including paying your cell phone bills? So I could potentially get a free 350 dollar phone AND 50 dollars from them? This all seems way too good to be true here.

I expect she'll get a phone call tomorrow apologizing for the mistake haha.. I'll keep everyone posted.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] alenaski:
I want it for free

I bought Fuze last week. I have iPhone 3G - so not sure which one i like more. Some features are beter on Fuze, some on iPhone...

I bought it on ATT online - got $50 discount with coupon (new line that i will convert to family plan add-on to my existing account).

But if it is possible to get Fuze for free - i might return it and try to get another one...
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] iservealot:
Let me know what they say.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] volcomnator999:
doesnt work for upgrades? i dont see a promo code box
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Droga:
Yeah... let us know!! Because I am so ready to return mine and get a free Fuze even though I will lose my number. :D
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Eric03:
Do any of these promo codes apply for family-plan upgrades?

I have a family plan with AT&T Premiere and when I go to upgrade my device there is no place to enter a promo code. I went through the whole process twice and looked very carefully.

Thanks for the help guys.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Aaron McCarthy:
Well when I first did the "mock" run through to see if the promo codes went in and how much I could get off (basically ordered the phone for free) it had a place for me to put the codes in... obviously. Then when I went to add it on through the family plan there was no space BUT because I had ran it through before it showed the phone as free because it was somehow already saved in the shopping cart I guess. SO what I would recommend doing is doing a run through just purchasing the phone normally (no family plan.. not logged into your account or anything) and then cancel the order .. well not cancel just clear your order and log in then do the run through again and see if that works.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] OlSarge:
Thanks Blowfish64, the "25percent" in the promotion code woked us. Two phones on a renewed family play were discounted. :)
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Kraize:
I'm so pissed at AT&T. I can't even access Phones and Devices. This is all I get and I called and called and they have no idea wdf it means. I can't even see any phones to even try to upgrade to them. Happens on all 3 lines of my family plan. 2 are not eligible to upgrade and 1 is. This even happens when I try to add a line! Anyone want to log into premier and tell me if they see otherwise in Phones/Devices?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] william8004:
Around 6:40 pm Central time, ATT shutdown the EWC50 promo code. It doesn't work anymore.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Kraize:
I know! I was just about to post this :( I was ordering 3 fuzes for free too! Damn it! :( I guess they figured it out after dozens of people entered it a billion times and tried to get fuzes for free lol.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] kgbeezr1:
Some goober on the Fatwallet forum used At&t's online chat and told them about the coupon code working repeatedly. Also, someone claims he ordered $3k in accessories (for free). I'm sure that raised a few flags if it's true.

I added a line to my plan this morning and got the order in for a Fuze (no accessories), but I have a feeling the status is going to read "order cancelled" any second.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] william8004:
What about the orders that went out? I'd like to know about those. (no particular reason):rolleyes:
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Aaron McCarthy:
Well I had ordered the Fuze around 5 am on saturday or sunday.. I dont recall. I posted pictures of the code going in and coming up with a free price of the phone (check page 3for photos). Today my order number FINALLY brings me to a page that says the phone order is in progress... Hopefully this will all work out. They assigned me a phone number and everything so.. fingers crossed. I didn't even think of ordering in accessories. So stupid. I was just excited that I could "possibly" get the phone for free. I have been waiting to see if ATT was actually going to release the omnia and was debating whether I get the fuze or wait for the omnia. Well.. free Fuze or paying 300 or more for the Omnia. As much as I want the omnia I want the Fuze which is free more haha.

So we'll see how this all works. It's a shame they canceled the code but, not suprising really.

I've attached a picture of the order page. Remeber this was using the EWC50 code multiple times and getting it for free.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] K_Rock:
I wouldn't post something like this on Fatwallet or slickdeals because it would get shut down immediately. Why would someone post that and ruin it for others that could slide under the radar?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Aaron McCarthy:
maybe it was someone who had JUST bought the phone at full price and was pissed.. who knows. Either way not cool. But at the same time it's not like they wouldnt have found out eventually.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Aaron McCarthy:
Officially Shipped

Well it's offical... They officially shipped out my phone yesterday. As before.. free... using that 50 dollars off promo code. It really is a shame more people couldnt have used this. I have been waiting for this phone for a long while. I'm origially from up in Canada and we actually got the HTC Touch before anyone in the states did by months and months... I think the Diamond was released roughly the same time in Canada and the states. I knew I was moving down here so wasnt really in the market to upgrade.. and I really wasnt looking forward to buying a 350 dollar phone when I have to buy out of my Telus contract up north... which is going to cost me damn near 200.00 to do unless I can find someone to take it over.

But yes.. free fuze on its way!
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] bsm471:
Lets Talk ATT FUZE free with new contract

www.letstalk.com $99 with $99 mail in rebate
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Kraize:
That's been stated. And it has some conditions also. If you have an individual plan it is great, even then, you can't TOUCH your contract until 6 months later. You can't change anything, and if you have a family plan, you have to upgrade every line.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] thisperishedmin:
damn...i'm feeling ripped off now after buying mine from a store at the standard contract price just the other day :P
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Carl G35c:
I feel cheated bc I missed this thread....

I have no one to blame but myself :(
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] californiarailroader:
That's only for new lines, a Fuze upgrade costs $249. I got mine at Amazon for $174 on upgrade, plus a $50 mail in rebate from my Premier, so it will cost me $124, not bad for $500 phone :)
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] treoreloaded:
im so glad i found this thread. i just ordered mine today from AMAZON. what a great deal!
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Keland44:
that's a nice deal on amazon with it worked with family plans

i'm a priemier user and i can't input the discounts i didn't see a plan to put them

would be interested in seeing if any other codes pop up
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] stevelion:
In all likelihood, the deal originated from someone over on FW or SD, not here on XDA.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] clia:
~~~~~deleted.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] rmyc:
Damn, im off of XDa for a few days and i miss this.. Shiza!!!

u have a corporate discount on my account, how do i log into primer or sign up for it?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Aaron McCarthy:
Well got my Fuze today.. Free using that 50 dollar off code. Hopefully there were a few others that were able to take advantage of this offer while it lasted. The phone is definatly WAY better then my HTC Touch. I cant say I'm the hugest fan of the keyboard persay (only because I'm not used to one now) but I wasnt against it and I didnt want a diamond as I wouldnt be able to pop in an SD card. No good!

Anyway.. got it.. works great.. AND after getting it for free I can send in my rebate form and get thr 50 dollar visa gift card. So really they just paid me $50 for using there phone. :P
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] pazookie:
you all suck who got it for free from att lol i dont know how i missed that code ive been looking up and down for deals and stuff lol
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] californiarailroader:
There is no place, the $50 Premier rebate is a mail in, as is the standard $25 rebate for non-premier customers.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] runnyeggsham:
I heard the coupon wasnt meant to be stackable. It was a fluke and AT&T is going to take the lost just like that???

I didn't know Live.com could be used to pay for these things.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Aaron McCarthy:
Well I sure hope I dont get a bill later saying I owe 350.. I really dont think they can do that. Maybe cancel an order before its shipped but after they've given everyone their phones its not like that can just say... oh yea you owe us such and such amount of dollars. Wouldnt go over too well... in fact they probably didnt even realize that the codes were working like that till a boot load of phones had been ordered and shipped so. It is what it is. It's not like the company lots alot in the grand scheme of things. My family plan with them is 60 dollars then my fiance has an iphone with the data package which is 30 dollars and I too have a data package.... 30 dollars.. then unlimited family text messaging plan... 30 dollars. soooo they are making TONS off their plans!
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] runnyeggsham:
Aaron, I agree with you. But, I dont know man. I got one too :)
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Kraize:
While that is true for things you buy at a retail store, it does not totally apply to this since you signed into a contract with them. Besides. When you cancel within the first 6 months of your contract, you must pay ETF ($175), First month bill ($40+), Activation ($36), AND EQUIPMENT COST ($300/$400). The equipment cost is different than the first month device costs. If you try to end the contract before 6 months, you'll end up paying around $550.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] runnyeggsham:
With all due respect, I'd like to differ on your accessment. I don't know where you get your info from. But I have the "terms applicable to at&t nation gsm plans" on hand and nowhere does it say that you have to return or pay any monetary value for equipment cost upon early termination. There is not even a 6 month clause anyway on the contract agreement. This is the national AT&T contract btw, not an authorized dealer. I would scan it on a pdf and post it if you want to back up your claim against what I have on paper. It does say that the phone needs to be returned if you do not want to be charged a $175 ETF fee within 30 days of activation, and a activatio refund within 3 days of activation. The only equipment listed is the phone with no reference to equipment, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera.

I read in the FW thread that a lot of people got their items recalled from Fedex. It seems those people got a lot of stuff for free or tried to. So how do you explain the ones that got through?? AT&T realized their "mistake" with the expensive orders only and not the small ones??????

I really want to see your source. You can't renege on a price mistake. Lots of online retailers, including Amazon, make price mistakes all the time. Some gas stations nationwide incorrectly punched in the wrong price into their machines and end up eating thousands in loss. Were they able to recoup their mistake? Not from what I read my friend. It's not like anyone hacked their system to get a low deal. They provided the coupon and the order system.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Quatre:
best price on Fuze for existing customer with family plan

now that EWC50 is long since done and even "25 percent" doesnt' work, how can one with 2 lines on a family plan with one line currently eligible for upgrade discount get the fuze for the cheapest price possible.

$299 on att.com is not worth it. att blocks amazon from allowing ppl on family plan to upgrade a line to a new phone.

price on att.com is like $349 with 50 mir. lets talk you can't do it either with fam plan but there its 249.

there has got to be a way to get this phone for a reasonable price if you have a fam plan and eligible for an upgrade on one line.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Quatre:
woo. finally. nothing was working and spent a long time on the phone with att and letstalk and amazon. finally got a good superviser at att to just credit my account to match the price difference from amazon because he knew of the issue with att blocking amazon from accessing ppls family plans and therefore customers not able to upgrade a line on fam plan through amazon.

problem is most employees dont know of this only high ups at att know they do this and they dont tell their employees and only when a customer knows of it will they match and even then you get a 2 hr runaround.

i went through this previous years trying to order from amazon and finally found out that it was totally att's fault not amazon and they do it on purpose so they really should match it but even supervisor hands was tied to direct match and had to credit my acct. the diff.

ugh what an ordeal but finally got the phone for a decent price.

now ill have to find the good cooked rom to get rid of the att bloatware when i get it and have the phone and data working on it faster then i heard it does with att rom.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] YodaJM:
I'd like to know that too Quatre...

Silly AT&T and their lack of Black Friday deals :(

Edit: Oh you posted your followup before my post. What price did you get from them in the end?

And whats the deal with AT&T blocking Amazon from upgrading Family lines? Just so I know what angle to go for.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Kraize:
Okay. I guess what the rep on the phone told me was wrong. Although I'll look through my contract and scan it if I find it. Well. If any of you had a premier account, at&t had a cyber monday sale yesterday.
