I bought 2 8GB units the last time around. This is what it shows for me today for the 8GB version:
Thank you for your previous order. You have reached the limit for this item.
i thought the limit was 5 last time
Word around the campfire is that the limit has been lowered to 2 per account. Why they thought 5 was a good idea before is beyond me, given the anticipated demand for such an aggressively priced item.
Anyone who received this phone from previous purchase, please let me now how long do they take to ship/deliver you? Can I get this before Dec 6th without any express shipping?
I bought one last time, after a lot of attempts. Later received an email that it was back-ordered.Yesterday night email came that my phone would be shipped this week and they will reimburse me shipping charges ($13 for 2 day shipping)as a courtesy. Looks like they got new stock. Good luck to everybody!
fwongsjsu said: So I am currently a Tmobile customer. If I get this phone will it work with tmoble? Can I just remove my sim chip from my current phone and then insert it into the N4 and it'll work just like that or wil I have to bring it into a Tmobile store to get it activated? I currently am using a MyTouch 4 g. Thank you.
yes, it will work with T-Mobile. It uses mini-SIMs, so if your current phone uses them, you just need to transfer. If your current phone uses a regular SIM (or you use an iPhone 5 with a micro-sim) then you need to get a new SIM. I had no problems getting a new SIM with my current number in the local T-Mobile store, and they did not charge me anything for it - and I'm on prepaid.

Mine arrived within 96 hours after ordering. Others were put on the "back-ordered" list and are still waiting.

i don't suppose the iphone's got a card slot and changeable battery does it?
HappyScrappyHeroPup said: This is a good deal because T-Mobile offers the same phone for $150 more off-contract.
$349 for an up-to-date off-contract smartphone like this is a great deal. Few up-to-date smartphones reach prices that low, and of those that do, most of them are Windows phones.
I don't get why T-Mobile is selling this phone at such a huge markup...they make their money from selling phone service and contracts, not the phones themselves. It seems silly to sell this for $200 with 2-year contract required, especially for a crippled/locked version. Why not for (say) $50, or at least something more in line with the ($300+ off retail) subsidy paid for other phones?
Is this a case of them paying an inflated price for these phones to get a guaranteed supply? Or do they just pay a much lower 'wholesale' price for the other phones they sell than I'm thinking?

Yo Ma-Ma said: argentum said: It only take micro-SIM? So I have to get a replacement SIM card from my carrier? (tmobile prepaid)Yes it takes micro, either replacement or cut down. I bought a cutter off eBay, from this guy http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170946250181
I don't necessarily recommend this seller over any other, but it did arrive pretty quick (1st class mail from Cali) and it did the job.
I practiced on some old sim cards before doing the real one, I recommend the same if you can. I found I had to really push the card way in or it was almost into the metal/circuit board.
PS I definitely DO NOT recommend the sim adapter that is supposed to let you use the newly-cut micro back into a mini slot, really trashed the pins in my phone when I tried to remove. luckily they were just badly bent and none broke.
berkeleyman said: which pre-paid carrier would be best to activate this phone on? Looking for decent monthly rate for ~100-200min + data If you have good Tmobile coverage it's $30/mo for 100 minutes and 5G data, unltd texting.
Otherwise if you have better ATT coverage or consistently need more talk minutes, I'd recommend Straight Talk $45/mo unlimited talk, text, minutes (really a 2G cap on data though). You can ask for ATT or TMobile ST card.
