Yup! Everyone is spending time with their new babies that arrived a bit early. I can already see myself burning 4 hours the evening of March 24th.

can't say i'd blame ya, i did the same thing with every smartphone i've gotten my hands on, with the exception of the Treo, I didn't get that one by choice so it was the red headed step child

No step child here; the HD2 is the supermodel, rocket scientist, athlete, rock star child that every parent wishes they had.

So its 149 new, 249 upgrade at the shack and 239.99 new or upgrade from tombile?

actually i think it's 199.99 from tmobile either new or upgrade, whatever the price is, you won't find a fragmented pricing model at tmobile, ours is unfortunately but it works out well for our new activation customers

Please don't flame me, I'm as stoked about the HD2 as everyone else is but I guess I don't see what the excitement about radio shack is.. Are we this excited because it'll be available from a store other than T-mo directly or because it's $50 less for contract pricing? I don't get it..

Also, what about the no-contract price? I assume that it will stay at $450?

Cheers.

I for one think its cool we actually have a phone worth having at launch however i'm sure most people interested are more excited about the pricing.
and unactivated pricing is 549, unfortunately

All this hype for $50 off of T-Mobile's price? Man I would easily have paid $700-800 for it off-contract if that's what they were charging. I even called every Walmart within 50 miles of here to ask if they would sell me one early for $500 ($50 more than T-mo's price) but they all said they weren't allowed to. To each their own I guess.

I can understand the excitement if I were an employee at Radio Shack though!

Either way, it's going to be amazing I'm sure. I'm getting mine at 10am tomorrow

I too would have paid 700 or 800 for this device (even though I now know that this summer might see me testing and considering the HTC EVO). But you have to remember that saving $50.00 on any type of purchase is something many people would be thrilled to and perhaps need to do.

BTW' I just heard from an unhappy friend who says she's is on Flex-Pay and there for RadioShack will be charging her $249.99 rather than the 149.99 price. WTF! That just seems wrong to me but perhaps I don't know the business structure behind it.

Anyhow, my RadioShack opens at 9:00 a.m. so you know where I'll be. I also called ahead and they said that they can go ahead and special order a 2nd standard battery for me which I might as well do since I'm using a gift card. Ordering the standard battery because I do not want the extra thickness of the extended. Down to hours rather than days; simply wonderful.........

Fair enough!
