for how much? on my website it shows 879. I called premier and they said they would do it for 388. but she said that i was out of contract, but im sure im not because Im pretty sure im under contract for like 3 or 4 more years because i've upgraded a year ago which adds 2 more years.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] AvengerBB:
Hmm, it shows $499 for me. I guess it depends on your discount plan?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] doctajay:
after calling into business services like 5 times I finally got someone who could find the phone. I got it $353 + $18 activation fee with free overnight shipping!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Jola66:
So.....

Anyone get their "Item Shipped" email yet? ;)

Still waiting for mine. I imagine itll ship tomorrow sometime, maybe later this afternoon.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Toleraen:
Just called, guy I talked to had it for 349, no rebate though. Those of you getting it for 299, you all just that smooth to get the rebate applied or luck of the draw?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ashwincr:
called and confirmed that the order has been sent to the warehouse for shipping, so it might ship today, I am keeping my fingers crossed. The funny thing is when I log into premier, it shows up at $879.99 and I called in and was only charged $299 for a 2 yr contract. I guess I lucked out in that the rep applied the mail in rebate as an instant rebate, obviously I didn't ask too many questions.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] pbk105:
At nearly $400 more than the no commitment price it's a hell of a sucky "premier" account. Wouldn't you say?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] sdlopez83:
Nice Im ordering via ATT biz w/rep. AS I speak!!!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] imabored:
how much are you being charged for it?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] :
My premier account shows a non contract price of $499, as I posted last night.. I finally pulled the trigger, but in my anxiety managed to submit more than 1 order. So got all my orders cancelled this morning and have to apparently wait for 24 hrs before I can order again.. :mad:

I went through business care, but they want me to get into a new line/contract. Didn't even ask the price..

I have an existing iPhone 3G contract, that I want to upgrade.. How will the upgrade affect the iphone? Will I be able to use it (Option 2a that was mentioned before: swap sims, and use the Tilt2 with a Medianet plan, etc)?

Has anyone done a contract upgrade and used both phones before?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] sdlopez83:
Just paid $299 and it will get here Saturday. Wish I would have looked into it earlier or I woulda had it tomaaa. but happy non the less. Now should I get insurance for 4.99 a month.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] :
Sorry if this is a newbie question.

What does this insurance cover? Doesn't the phone come with a 1 year manufacturer's warranty from HTC? Most CCs extend that by another year..

Also, So did u have to get the 30/data plan or is there a way around that?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] sklinger:
Another good sign.. Its now listed on the ATT Premiere site with the other phones.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] imabored:
which number did you call to get this price? i've tried 3 times and they have quoted me at 389.99. thanks.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Jola66:
THe person who sold me mine didnt even mention the data plan. I dont see it in the statement in my email either. Im guessing they will discuss it when I receive the phone can call them up to activate it.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] noggind614:
i'm hoping they get shipped out today so i can receive mine tomorrow because i was told by customer service that they don't ship on weekends, and i know that fedex doesn't do sunday shipping.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] NotTooSure:
I found the $879.99 price on Premier too. I called Premier support to order and get the price fixed, got bounced to business support, got the price reduced to $299.00 and I "may get a rebate receipt too". No shipment notice yet (just finished 15 minutes ago) but it should be here tomorrow. At the same time I had several local AT&T stores looking at their shipments today and calling me about the contents - no Tilt-2's had showed up in their shipments in Seattle by the time the Tilt 2 showed up on Premier.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] DarkDvr:
What about us, meer mortals? I don't have a premier account, just a regular customer. Can we get our hands on tilt2 today?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] davidper:
I too found the $879.99 price on Premier, so I called Premier support and they guy who helped me got me the reduced price ($299.00). Even though the call was quite long, about 25min, I did not mind because I will soon have my very own Tilt 2. :D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] noggind614:
from my understanding if you don't have a premier account you'll have to wait til next sunday or whenever a store near you will sell it to you;)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Toleraen:
Just called back, tried a few numbers, talked to several reps, finally found a guy who had it at $299 (8008661514). I was told it would be shipped out today still, not sure I believe that though given the time.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Bizybone:
I am about to call up, but how do you go about getting the price reduced? Do you insist that the price should be lower or do you just state that it's abnormally high.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ZzFDKzZ:
For those who order it on the 6th does it still says:

"Item(s) are currently on back-order and will ship when inventory is available."

That's what mine still says.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] noggind614:
@Toleraen: i'm wondering as well if they will be sent out today due to the time. i would like to know where there are being shipped from because there is a possibility that they could still go out today

@ZzFDKzZ: i'm thinking it says that for you because you got it when it wasn't in stock. now they are and maybe it just has not been updated for you yet
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Bizybone:
Nearly forgot that my father is the one due for an upgrade, and he has the Iphone, I have the Fuze, would I need to swap sim cards before I call them up?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ZzFDKzZ:
Yeah might be that cause it says that the last time the page was updated was on the 7th.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] hybridfury:
Lol, funny story. I went looking around for some accessories for my VZW TP2 about 2 weeks ago, I went to every cellular provider in my town looking. When i got to the AT&T store their main tech guy told me I needed to drop Verizon cause my TP2 had been very "gutted" by Verizon and that the Tilt2 was gonna blow it out of the water. He also stated the Tilt 2 had a faster processor and more ram. *Sigh* I hate stupid people. Is the tilt 2 gonna come with windows 6.5 being it's getting released later than all the other carriers?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] davidper:
I just told the guy that I wanted to upgrade to the new Tilt 2. He then told me that he did not think the price he was seeing ($879.99) was correct, so he asked me to hold and after about 5min he came back and told me that the upgrade price was actually $299.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Toleraen:
If you're able to make changes to the account when you call they'll ask what number you're calling about. Specify whichever is available for the upgrade.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Bizybone:
Yea but my concern is that the Iphone and Fuze use 2 different Data Plans
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] PRTEQ:
I had talk by phone 27 minutes with a "sales rep" in the customer service, ands he CAN"T find the fricking phone to sell it to me... I am so grrrrrr I WANT IT NOW..

any of you can provide the phone number ofwhere did you get it?

Thanks in advance.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Toleraen:
I posted mine above (8008661514), I'm pretty sure it all goes to the same call center anyway. If you call up and the person doesn't know about it right away just say thanks for your help and call back. Rinse and repeat until you have your order :) Took me about 6 reps before I got it...kinda sad it took that many, but I'm just glad to have my order in :D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] davidper:
Just tell them that you are upgrading your father’s phone line, but that the upgrade or new hardware is for you (your phone line), so after they process your order they will do a hardware swap. This is exactly what my cousin did with my mom’s phone line, but they required my Mather’s permission before they proceeded with the hardware swap.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] davidper:
I too called the phone number 18008661514, as posted in page 24
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] bennyj71:
I'm a Premier member. Called three corporate stores: nothing! Called the Premier reps: Nothing! The phone is listed for $879.99 with no rebate on my site. The rep talked with her manager and he said it will be available on the 18th. I hope you guys actually get your phone. I tend to think they have taken the orders but won't send them out till next week.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] KryptosXLayer2:
http://www.gsmworld.com/roaming/gsminfo/cou_us.shtml

AT&T doesn't care what phone you use, really. I haven't had a problem switching between a Kaiser, a cheap-o LG flip phone in case of emergency, this Rhodium, and a few others in between. Not to worry!

AUSTRALIAN, but close!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Kvothe:
Arrgh, the best I could do over the phone was $829.99, and I can in no way pay that, at least for the Tilt 2. Now it might be worth it for this on the 19th: http://www.negrielectronics.com/product_info.php?products_id=2747

Maybe I'll just suck it up and wait for the 18th. I can't waste any more time, my ear is too warm...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] PRTEQ:
After almost 2 hrs and 7 reps, finally talked to some one who told me that the price is $299.00 but, since tthe hour ant that they dont do weekend shipments I could get it by monday... I dont want to wait that long, so I holded my order until tomorrow to check if any local store gets it tomorrow.

But if any of you is not as desperate as me, is available under Premier accounts at $299 (no rebate) and the direct phone number is 1-866-499-8008
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] jrob25:
just talk to my local store,and they said by tomorrow 3 pm they will start selling them

looks like im going right after school
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] davecote:
Just checked AT&T Premier web site and the Tilt 2 is listed for 349.99. With the 50.00 dollar rebate that is 299.99.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] YodaJM:
I tried that number and they told me they can't do orders over the phone :mad:

And my local store has no clue what the phone is so they likely won't be getting it any time soon.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] average_joe:
Still not seeing it on my favorite webstores...

I'm still (5:20 PM CST, 20091008) not seeing the Tilt 2 available on my favorite cell phone webstores. Has anyone else seen them online other than the AT&T Premier Online store?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] WatermelonSlim:
I don't think that link shows if you are 850 or 1900. It seems to combine them both and just shows if you have coverage at all. It doesn't break it down and show you if you have 850 in your area though.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] mspingeld:
My Premier showed $879.99. Called and got $388.00 + $18.00 upgrade fee plus $9.00 shipping. I said I've seen people online getting it for $349.99 and $50.00 rebate. I also mentioned that Verizon shows the same phone for $199.99 after rebate. She couldn't do anything further, got a supervisor who also couldn't do more but he transferred me to the "customer retention" department.

Bottom line: $259.99 + tax. Free shipping (2nd day), no upgrade charge.

I was nice through the whole thing but I did insinuate that I was considering going to Verizon if we couldn't work something out. (I didn't mention that Verizon's site shows the phone as "out of stock" ;)

I'm happy with the price and, overall, I'm satisfied with AT&T's service.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] YodaJM:
Nice, which number were you calling?

I keep getting the run around.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] :
Just got off the phone after 25 mins with a lady and then an hr with a gentleman. Both were very nice.. (I started with a complete dork who knew nothing.. Politely hung up and called again..)

Tilt2 $425+tax no contract price. ;)

Now, I'm the optimistic kind, but waiting for bad news when I try to activate the phone.. :( Keeping my fingers (&toes) crossed.. And oh yeah, hopefully this won't get cancelled like my orders last night :mad:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] rowedave76:
Any clue why AT&T is still listing the phone as 879.99? It seems they could save some overhead by listing the correct price instead of having people spend time on the phone talking with an hourly employee.

The worst part is I think this is pretty normal for the "premier" site. Last year I think they had the Fuze listed for more on the Premier site then on the regular one.

Fortunately they had me complete a survey, at which point I let them know their web storefront sucked.

I'd still rather go in a store and look at it first so I may end up waiting anyways. But they probably would have sold me one already if they had their website set up.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] YodaJM:
Its showing up at $349.99 for me. When I called they did say that prices are different for each company. Are you eligible for an upgrade? Maybe it shows that price if you are not eligible for an upgrade.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Bizybone:
Well I just got mine ordered via Premier Webpage for $404.84 :(.

Spoke to a representative via Webpage chat and she confirmed to me the price should have been $349.99. I asked about a rebate to which she responds, " The price is with rebate itself as you have said that the original price is more than $800."

Not sure if she enabled me to see the correct price or what, but after logging out and in a couple times It still showed $879.

I then decided to log out of there, was using Firefox as the browser. Logged in using Internet explorer and voila, it was there for $349! I Chose next day shipping which was ~$14 + ~$21 tax.

I cringed at the price but oh well I got mine ordered. I will be off tomorrow and if I happen to see one in a local store I will die.

Good luck to you all.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] DarkDvr:
Ok, for us simple mortals... here's the Tilt 2 buying guide:

Price (WITH A NEW 2 year contract): $299 (NO REBATES), FREE NEXT DAY shipping with FedEx. NO CHANGES TO THE PLAN. AT all. Whatever plan u got - they don't touch it.

Don't call stores. I've called pretty much every store in orange county - nobody has them, 98% never heard of it ("Ti.. Tilt... TWO??? WTF? U mean Pure?")

So, call this number: 866 499 8008 (corporate)

Tell them that you're not a business customer, but you _SHOULD_ be eligible for the Tilt 2.

They will ask for your number, SSN, etc, and will tell you that you're eligible and they have the phone (if it's not out of stock by that time... mine wasn't).

Say "YA BABY WOOO", then tell them that your wife/friend/cat got this phone thru this line for $299 shipped, NOT the $389 they may offer you. 5-10 minutes of persuasion and you'll get it. NO REBATES by the way.

Give em ur address, card number, boom - get ur phone next day.

Have fun. I'm getting mine saturday morning.

:dancing banana:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] rowedave76:
I've been eligible since last December. I'm currently on a family plan and a Premier member due to my work.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] YodaJM:
For the rebate even though it doesn't show on the Premiere site, you should be able to fill out the form for the Pure (from the regular AT&T site), which has the Tilt 2 listed on it.

As long as you meet the requirements for the voice & data plan you should be able to get the $50 rebate no matter what price you paid for the phone.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] YodaJM:
Try IE like the guy a couple posts above. The $800+ price is probably stuck in your cache and thats probably why using IE worked for him.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] rowedave76:
Bingo. I log in using IE and I see 349.99. No one at AT&T uses Firefox?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] mspingeld:
I called the number on the Premier site, sorry, didn't write it down. I got a bit of a run-around as well, but with a little perseverance, I got a pretty good deal.

My small company has 4 phones and we haven't upgraded anything in a few years. Not sure if that helped with the final price or not.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Bizybone:
We probably just needed to clear our cookies for the changes to take place.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ashwincr:
all of you seeing $879.99 clear your browser cookies or use another browser that you haven't used to view the tilt prelaunch page. thta should fix the pricing error.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] :
Thanks for the clarification. Saturday delivery.. Wohoo! When did u get ur order in?

Do they insist on the $30/data plan? :mad: Can you get by with a voice only plan?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] rowedave76:
Thats it. I went in and cleared all my 'att' cookies. Now I see it as 349.99 on the Premier site.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] DarkDvr:
No, the best part is that they don't care what plan you have. She didn't even seem to care if there was a data in it. She said that "you're only getting a new phone upgrade, it doesn't matter what plan you have with it."

I got my order in like 30 minutes ago. Tried to talk to her supervisor to commend her service, but they didn't have one on the floor.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] YodaJM:
Well I finally it for $275 and $30 credit on my next bill after a couple hours of trying to get a hold of someone who could actually do something for me.

Though the guy who put this order through wasn't the brightest in figuring out what the shipping is other than "It should be out by tomorrow or Saturday".

But for that price I can't really complain about when it'll arrive.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] :
Someone here said they might cause trouble when activating the phone.. Thats why I'm keeping my fingers (& toes) crossed.. :D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Bizybone:
Now to see if Gazelle.com will be able to take my Fuze :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] sakshaug007:
Were you eligible for a phone upgrade? I'm not until March 2010. Would they just sell it to me for full retail? (which is how much by the way?)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] AvengerBB:
Has anyone received a shipment notification?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] iceman4357:

Well this is fantastic. I just found out I'm eligible for a Premier account or whatever ... but the Premier registration thing (and the "whole system" according to the rep) is down. Argh AT&T you drive me nuts.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] DarkDvr:
I think you can upgrade ur phone before ur contract is up, but for a fee.. I've had something of that nature done to my account 2 years ago.

But yeah, my contract is up in November, so I was eligible for upgrade/renew in September.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] DarkDvr:
Bah, nah, I'm sure there won't be any problems with activation.

I already got a simcard for it, im renewing a contract for next 2 years.

Besides, if they said you're eligible and they sold you the phone, they are 100% liable to deliver on their promises and activate it for you.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] noggind614:
@iceman4357

did you receive a tracking number with your shipment confirmation and when did you place your order?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] :
Oh, they will be happy to activate it for you - after you have parted with a pound of flesh (or an arm + leg) : fork over $$$ for a $martphone data plan + voice mins..

Their new rules lets them legally pull this on you ("every smartphone activation needs a smartphone data plan") - and ur only choice (as of last month) is to arbitrate if u don't agree or get ready to send your new toy back..
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] DarkDvr:
Yes, also, the sky will fall down on me and I will die with my unactivated Rhodium in hands.

Besides, it's a PDA, not a smartphone, so they can go to hell, lol.

:D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] :
lol.. Lets hope for the best! I'm more than eager to retire my Q9H..
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Kawinma:
Tried to do this. Somehow because I'm on a Family Plan I'm.. technically a Premier account? however, the lady -- REAL nice -- said that they're backordered and to check tomorrow morning and to just call the Premier line.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] bugsykoosh:
They finally updated the general business center site: http://www.wireless.att.com/businesscenter/HTC-Tilt-2/

If you have a business tax Id you're in:)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] DarkDvr:
Hmm, the lady that was helping me said "Let me check if you're eligible....... yep, you are eligible, now let's see if I have them...... yeah I do have them, would you like to order one?"

Yeeeeeeeeeeessssssss.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Kawinma:
Well, someone's lucky.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Kvothe:
Much hard work but got my Tilt 2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Utilizing this advice, a billion phone calls to all sorts of folks that I reached with this number, and mad perseverance, I was finally able to get a Tilt2. I am not a premier customer. I reached someone for help with orders who told me she could only help me if the website wasn't working. It wasn't (for me at least because I didn't have a premier account which I didn't flaunt). Still I was eventually able to convince her to let me order the phone. I got it non-commitment. No extra upgrade costs or anything. It was $538. This includes all tax and second day shipping. She said it was the "full retail price", which isn't horrible without commitments but nothing to brag about either. It charged my card, so I guess its a go. I got an order number, but since I don't have a premier account and I haven't gotten a confirmation email yet, I can't check on how it ships (hopefully she'll send me a confirmation email, but that lady seemed crazy tired after I was done with her). I'll call about it tomorrow, but I think it should be in the mail. It was a arze ton of work, but maybe it was worth it. The things we do for phones... I'm off to have a beer!:D:D:D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] kone002:
called premier and here is what they told me.

They said no then yes they could sell it. Price offer was 38something $386 I think..and there was no option to credit change or rebate me anything. I told them no. Good Luck everyone else!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] RacerX10:
Didn't work for me. Maybe I'm choosing the wrong options ?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] DarkDvr:
I'm honestly glad it worked for you =) And yes, it's totally worth it. You did good =)

Oh and $538 for TP2 w/o contract is a damn good price in my books.
