An existing T-Mobile subscriber reportedly spotted a T-Mobile G1 Android phone already at their local Costco store. After being quoted $349 (and an ETA of Nov 10) by the corporate store for a mid-contract replacement he claims to have snagged a mid-contract upgrade plus a free bluetooth headset for $229 simply by visiting the Costco kiosk. According to his report, the new subscriber price at Costco is $179 which is the same as the corporate stores. If you’ve been hunting down one of the new Android phones and your local T-Mobile is out of stock – it might be worth a call to your local Costco to see if they have them in stock. I’d recommend you verify your upgrade price as well since mid-contract replacement pricing can vary depending on how long you have left on your contract.
