    went into t-mobile to find out how much i would pay for the new s3 & it's $329 with a $50 mail in rebate, making it $279. WHAT>!>! every other company has it for $199. how can they justify making us pay $80 MORE?? i asked the guy to explain to me why i should stay with t-mobile then....his answer "well, that's cheaper than if you switch your minutes to a value plan" (that means that i would pay $329 + $20 a month for my 2yr contract). seriously?!?! this is WRONG!! t-mobile shouldn't be able to charge more than any other carrier....unless they are asking to loose customers...

    Every company has their own promotions based around new phones. The idea is to give you a discount on a phone so you renew your contract. Full price is actually over $600, on the Galaxy S III, depending where you look.

    For example:
    Amazon.com: Samsung Galaxy S III GT-i9300 16GB Unlocked Android Smartphone - International Version, No Warranty (Marble White): Cell Phones & Accessories

    oh i know that. & if you have a value plan (329 +20 a mo for 24 mo = 809) you are paying full price (close enough) for the phone!! now i understand that their promotions are to get you to upgrade...but when t-mobile is charging more for the phone than any other carrier, why upgrade & stay w/ (or become a new client) them!!

    That's a good point! I guess T-Mobile wasn't willing to eat the cost as much as other carriers.

    Through Amazon Wireless you can get the S III for $149 on Sprint: AmazonWireless: Samsung Galaxy S III 4G Android Phone, Blue 16GB (Sprint)

    And for AT&T, $189: AmazonWireless: Samsung Galaxy S III 4G Android Phone, Blue 16GB (AT&T)

    The promotions vary, and I wouldn't be surprised if T-Mobile adjusts the pricing on the phone. There are always different promotions. I know they even had a promotion when all of their phones were free. If they run that promotion again, you can save hundreds.
