I called about pricing today and received some crazy information.

From the website the 6301 is $79. The T339 is $49. I called into T-Mobile's 800 number to see what pricing was on a 1 year contract. Anyway, after about 10 minutes they lady quoted me $119 on the 6301 and $109 on the T339. When I explained that those prices were higher than the website she told me that because I am an existing customer (one month left on my contract) those were the best prices I could get.

Then I call my local T-Mobile store. He quotes me $50 w/ no rebates for the T339 and $130 w/ $50 rebate on the 6301.

Between the website, customer service, and a T-Mobile corp store I have three different prices for these phones. Unbelievable.]]>Jun 23rd 2008 8:26PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/06/23/t-mobile-adds-nokia-6301-and-samsung-t339-to-hotspot-home-stabl/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/06/23/t-mobile-adds-nokia-6301-and-samsung-t339-to-hotspot-home-stabl/Jun 23rd 2008 11:40PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/06/23/t-mobile-adds-nokia-6301-and-samsung-t339-to-hotspot-home-stabl/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/06/23/t-mobile-adds-nokia-6301-and-samsung-t339-to-hotspot-home-stabl/
The first CC rep quoted you prices after rebates on a 2 yr, then the after rebates prices on a 1 yr. The in-store rep quoted you prices pre-rebate on a 2 yr. Pretty straight forward, it's always a $50 premium for a 1 yr contract with T-mobile.]]>Jun 25th 2008 12:33AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/06/23/t-mobile-adds-nokia-6301-and-samsung-t339-to-hotspot-home-stabl/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/06/23/t-mobile-adds-nokia-6301-and-samsung-t339-to-hotspot-home-stabl/
My main thing with this phone is talk time of 6 hours and the wi-fi feature. Never had a flip phone and not a fan of the color. Only thing I was impressed with was I was told the wi-fi upgrade for my 3-line family plan would be $9.99 for all three lines which is a damned good deal, if that was in fact true.]]>Jun 28th 2008 12:09PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/06/23/t-mobile-adds-nokia-6301-and-samsung-t339-to-hotspot-home-stabl/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/06/23/t-mobile-adds-nokia-6301-and-samsung-t339-to-hotspot-home-stabl/I upgraded from a Razr v3 silver.

T339 - Cannot Lock out t-zones. Some apps you can lock like tasks, and calendar.
V3 - Option to Lock Internet, AOL, and a number of other items.

T339 - None of the following are changable: external side buttons, Internal keys, soft keys.
V3 - Most buttons are changeable.

T339 - The side dedicated camera button gets in the way BIG TIME. I keep hitting it by mistake and turning the thing on. Very annoying.
V3 - Does not have this problem.

T339 - HAS WI-FI and so far works AWESOME!
V3 - Unfortunately, the V3 does not have this problem as it does not have wi-fi. ]]>Jul 1st 2008 11:35PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/06/23/t-mobile-adds-nokia-6301-and-samsung-t339-to-hotspot-home-stabl/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/06/23/t-mobile-adds-nokia-6301-and-samsung-t339-to-hotspot-home-stabl/Jul 1st 2008 11:40PM
