Steal a G1 or myTouch from WalMart

Wait, wait… that sounds bad. Not bad enough to change, but I should clarify. WalMart has knocked a grip of bills off of the original costs of these phones, and if you’re willing to sign a two-year agreement you can get yourself a G1 for $48.88 or a myTouch for $98.88. At those prices, you may as well have an extra just for tinkering.

    Um...how are these good prices considering the Droid Eris is $100 regularly priced and the HTC Hero the same on Sprint (from best buy)? Both those phones destroy the G1 and are definitely upper tier compared to the MyTouch.

    I guess if you are on T-Mobile its a decent price compared to T-Mobile's outrageous prices on these two phones ($130 and $150)....but with the Nexus One coming in the next month I still don't see how this is a "steal"...a good deal yes...steal...not really.

    Just my 2 cents

    You can get MyTouch for the same price plus NO UPGRADE FEE at Sam's Club too only if it's owned by Sam's Club not a third-party like SC Kiosks(Radio Shack). To find which one is in your local Sam's Club just call them.

    Wow thats insane pricing. Does Walmart honor upgrade discounts from the carriers?
  • Y314K
    Yes they do... You should be able to get the same deal whether extending/re-signing a contract (as long as it's past u'r phone upgrade period) or moving from one carrier to another...

    This prices are very tempting but they should be FREE by the Xmas...

    Still buying my time to do my upgrade.. Seems T-Mobile is the best over all choice for me... Just got to wait for "Project Dark" to be revealed & hope that HTC Dragon gets revealed as a T-Mobile device... But it's getting harder and harder to wait as time passes by...
