Garmin Nuvifone G60 - one year contract?

[Ic0nBoy]

Spoke to CSR at Amazon and she said the link we have used above is a cached one and the item is no longer available.
I thought I would keep trying and was able to place an order with Amazon and got a confirmation email. Got free two-day shipping for a total of $75.48

Will see if the order actually goes through properly and ships or Amazon will say "sorry, not available".
I figure for $70 odd, it's not a bad deal to have a decent backup phone — unless of course they lower it to like $30! Ha! Ha!

I called Amazon and spent 25 minutes and spoke to two reps.

The G60 is out of stock and Amazon has no info on when (if) they will have any. I think we know they won't get anymore, don't we? The last few must have left the shelves quickly at $69.99 ! I wish I was fast enough to grab one.

Now I wait for June 9th and the various reviews that will surely come on the A50 Garminfone.

Looks like Amazon might have it in a month or two...?

[Spazmogen]

I'd like to think you're right, but the fact that AT&T pulled it from their website doesn't bode well.

Now on Amazon it shows In Stock :

Try adding it to your shopping cart.

Well...thankfully, I have a shipping confirmation from Amazon. Looks like I got one just in time before they ran out. Anyone else manage to snag one...?

[Jim1348]

No, but I did tell several friends about this. I think all they would need to do is put an old SIM card in the G60 and get it unlocked and it would function as a stand alone GPS.

did it arrive?

Are you Ebaying it for 3x your cost?

Hasn't arrived yet. Delivery is June 2nd. Getting 3x the cost would be nice.
I have two options:

1. keep it as a backup phone incase I break/drop my old one.
2. Sell it on Craigslist or try and trade for something different e.g. Palm pre Plus that is GSM or for a different Android phone.

Any suggestions if I go for #2?

[Spazmogen]

On ebay they're still going for $150 - $185 US.

With shipping profit, you could get 2 or 2.5x your purchase price. Better yet, fax AT&T and get a free unlock code for it too then sell it. Unlocked gets a lot bigger pool of interested people, rather than just AT&T customers.

Check out closed ebay auction: 250637475762
It sold for $207.50 on May 29th. It was mint, not new condition.

Thanks Spazmogen for the tips.

[Ic0nBoy]

Whooo-hoo! the Nuvifone actually arrived a few minutes ago!

[Spazmogen]

Are you going to send a fax to AT&T to get it unlocked?

[Ic0nBoy]

Are you going to send a fax to AT&T to get it unlocked?

Yeah, definitely. Do you have the fax/contact details for whom I need to send the info to get the unlock code, and what info I need to fax them? Thanks!
