    How much you did pay for a MyTouch3G?

    Well, I been thinking of doing a handset upgrade on one of my eligible lines and using the MT3G myself, but since T-Mo is now requiring a DATA contract on the upgrade line, I'd either have to pay $199.99 + monthly data plan (that the line wouldn't use), or pay $399.99 (partial upgrade eligible) for my line.
    (and btw, I think the rep said $14.99 unltd text counts as a data plan)
    I understand that T-Mo is subsidizing the cost of the phone with the data plan requirement and all.......

    Are people paying $399.99 for their MT3G?

    Paid the $199.99.

    BTW, you should check the sticky from Antenna about what each data plan will actually get you. Remember that without the right data plan the MT3G is a pretty paperweight. Albeit, pretty indeed.

    Oh, I don't have a problem paying the data plan cost, currently I have a Blackberry plan @ $24.99 and I think the Android plan is similar and wouldn't mind switching. It's the phone cost. $199.99 is much more attractive than $399.99.

    Oh for sure. To be honest, I don't know of anyone that was able to get it for under $199.99. Of course I didn't dig too hard knowing that I would be plunking down the penny-under-200-dollars price. My brother-in-law has gone 4 years without an upgrade, his fault really, and he paid the same I did. I just laughed.

    You can get the myTouch for $130

    Surprised no one has mentioned this:

    1. Go to Bing.com.
    2. Search for "t-mobile".
    3. Click through the T-Mobile banner at the top which mentions 35% cash back.
    4. Ensure that you see the Bing Cash Back logo on the product page before adding to cart.
    5. You'll pay full price ($199.99), but you will get back 35% within 60 days, bringing your bottom line down to $130.

    More discussion here and here.

    That's assuming the cashback actually works. I fought with eBay and PayPal for months trying to get my cashback for a MacBook Pro I bought in January. I finally gave up and am currently boycotting both of them.

    I should have done this. 2 year upgrades suck.

    Has anyone tried to get a 1-year contract on the MT3G lately? Some people said they've stopped offering them. I've also read reports of it being $299 not $249.

    And yes, I'm too lazy to call a CSR myself.
