Since the "Starting price" at Costco was $229.99, then WITH the coupon, as a new T-Mobile customer, you could get it for $129.99--that's a big difference from $79.99. And, as mentioned before, as a current customer, even one out-of-contract, the best one could do would be $169.99. I am not an ignorant consumer--I went to Costco fully expecting a higher price than $79.99. I just think that this page should not advertise that Costco was selling the G-1 for $79.99, because it wasn't. According to Costco, all cell phone kiosks at Costco have the same prices for the G-1 (don't know about other phones). @Floyds--T-Mobile says over the phone that they don't match prices, but when I went to my local T-Mobile, they offered to match the $169.99 price. Their "starting price" is significantly higher.

Because you don't like the terms on the advertisement? All you had to do was call to ask for the price. Please don't soil a thread because you didn't read the whole thing. I hate ignorant consumers.

With the coupon, the price is $129--but I am already a T-Mobile customer, so I can't get that, I can only get the G-1 if I pay $169, and that's with a 2-year contract. Very frustrating--I'm just about ready to dump T-Mobile and buy an iPhone. It's just bait-and-switch. Does anyone know if the Amazon deal is for new customers only, or if current T-Mobile customers can get that deal? I just went to Costco, and their starting price is $229.

Also to the person who said t-mobile matched their coupon - really? I called them and they said they don't match Costco/Best Buy/Sams coupons.

They start the price at $229.00 and then mark it down to $129.00. I researched and found that all Costco's sell at the same price.

You still get free accesories like a case, car charger, wired headset, and a bluetooth plus waived activation fee for new lines. Also they have a bill credit of up to $85.00 for new lines of service just for signing up at Costco. But please do not get the price mixed up on this promotion.
