Yay front page news. Good job JB, hopefully we’ll sell lots of these and upgrade lots of people to this amazing phone! ONLY $149.99 FOR A NEW ACTIVATION ON T-MOBILE FOR AS LOW AS $79.99 A MONTH WITH UNLIMITED DATA AND TEXT!
BTW…

wow, this phone looks amazing. i am a radioshack employee. We just got a few in today. it looks AWESOME!!!
Watermark that! Nice scoop!
Betcha only 4 stores in each region get maybe 2 each. Same thing they do with every high-end new phone. “But hey, this Cliq is very nice as well.”
@outerpip –
SLC isn’t a good market to gauge what’s happening nationwide but my district has 6 in transit as of today, and if SLC North is getting that many, larger districts should be getting plenty for everyone
BTW – Laos101, thank you for not posting our internal memo right on the main page. And keeping only in the actual story page, I appreciate that.
@outerpip – 4 stores in each REGION?! Nooo, probably 4 or 5 stores in every single district will have 1 or 2 in stock, and we can order them if we don’t have them. I have always been able to get phones in stock within a day if we don’t have them. Plus we make more money if we sell you the HD2 that almost every other phone, so why would we sell you a Cliq. Having a bad sales experience sucks balls, which is why I always try to level with my customers and tell them what is actually a good deal, and a lot of the times I let them know that I’m making good money off their sale and make sure to thank them etc. If somebody at Radioshack has pissed you off before, give me your e-mail address and I will e-mail you a $10 coupon that you can use on your HD2 on top of all the other discounts we’ll be offering. And I’m dead serious, post ur e-mail and when I work later today or tomorrow I’ll send you the coupon form my terminal at work.
@JQuill –
not a problem.
$149 for HD2 with 2 year, damn nature u scary. 3 weeks ago a dude i know bought a european unlocked one for a grand on ebay. WP7S royally screwed HD2
Actually, you make more money off a Sprint sell then a T-Mobile, but yeah, an HD2 will give you more than a Cliq. I just remember when phones like the Touch Pro and the Moment came out, my whole metro area had 2 of each of those for the first 2 months, and after 2 months, never saw any Touch Pros. Plus, they try to use Wireless VIP to get you a phone, but you have to change plans to whatever the program requires, and, the pricing is somehow different. I’ve just witnessed so many bad sales reps that will sell anything to you just to get a sale. Nothing directed to you at all. And yes, pesok, 149, but if you go so a T-Mobile store, you’ll be paying at least 249 for it. And that if you are eligible, otherwise you’re probably looking at 600.
The upgrade price at Radioshack is $249.99. If you’re activating a brand new line of service it’s $149.99. Thing about me is I never go into a sale thinking what’s going to make me the most money, because 95% of the time people can tell when you’re bullshitting them. I never bullshit my customers because A – I am a terrible liar to begin with. And B – If they get what they want and like me then they’ll come back and buy more stuff from me in the future.
@pesok – The one your paid a grand for has lower specs than the U.S. version as well man lol. The U.S. version got a MAJOR hardware upgrade, I would return that shit as soon as possible. Or sell it to some schmuck on craigslist.
I saw a non working display model at RS at the mall yesterday.
I am on Sprint but with no new WinMo devices for a while, and none seem to be coming to Sprint, I am thinking of switching to T-Mobile to purchase the HD2. I currently have a Diamond, but am itching for a new device, and Sprint ain’t filling that craving.
I do have to give the switch some thought though, as Sprint service has been good to me.
The price of the HD2 seems pretty good though. I had previously heard that the HD2 would cost upwards of $800.00. Guess that ain’t true!
