Uggg... 830 Fitbit deal lasts till 1/8/15 according to ATT website

[awesomeindeed]

Buy it online. You can buy it off-contract and get the deal.

I picked one up today at one of my local AT&T stores.. I was not going to get one as $450 is insane pricing. I have a friend who mentioned getting a Fitbit a few days ago so I asked her to hold off and I'd sell her mine for $80.

Even with getting $80 for the Fitbit from her I still think it's overpriced.

But..

It's a very nice device and I really like the 830!

Did you buy on contract?

I bought it outright...I remember when the 920 came out I had to do the same and the Microsoft store had the on release day also.



Sorry for the head tilt, too lazy to fix =P

I've been unable to get my hands on the Lumia 830 bundle off contract (full price). I went to a AT&T corporate store and they refused to let me buy the bundle outright for the $449.99, they said they'll only sell it with a new activation or contract extension. And now I just got off the phone with my local Microsoft store, and they too told me they have the phone but the bundle version is only for contracts.

funny since the webstore for AT&T do not state "with new contract" it states
"Get a free FitBit? Flex™ wristband when you purchase the Nokia Lumia 830—while supplies last."
Nokia Lumia 830 Windows Phone 8.1 ? AT&T

I would go back and throw a fit

Thanks for the info guys

Seems odd that I ran into this problem with two different stores today then. I guess tomorrow I'll go visit the Microsoft Store in-person and see if someone will sell me the bundle without a contract renewal. I don't think I ever had to work this hard to spend ~$500 before.

I purchased mine today at full price and it came in the large white box previously shown with the device and the Fitbit..

I learned my lesson after my 920. It does say somewhere on ATT's site that you do need to activate a line to purchase the phone even outright. I double checked this morning to verify so I just went straight to MS store today.

I always purchase my phones at full price and I've had AT&T tell me I can't.. Maybe it depends on the store? No clue but I know I've never had an issue.

gahhhh. your right, I dug around a little bit and it states that It MAY require a new line.

Only in the US would you have to get a new line of service to buy a phone off contract.....

Bought mine outright from an AT&T retail store, the second one I went to.

The first one had it in stock, I know they did, but the rep couldn't find it. I learned when I went to the second store that it came in that unusual white box. This leads me to believe the rep from the first store didn't know what to look for, and concluded he didn't have it.

I had a similar issue. The rep went in the back to get the phone and it took about 10 minutes. When he came back out he said he could not find it. He asked a manager who told him it was in the promo box.

Went to our local Microsoft Kiosk to play with a live demo. Think I will grab one after I get the funds together to buy off contract. the manager told me that the price is great since you get the fitbit with it. I said that I thought you only get one with a new line, he went and looked over his paperwork, and said that nothing in his paperwork mentioned that it HAD to be with a new line. Soo..... I plan to grab one as soon as I can get the funds together. He said it would come with the fitbit.
