“T-Mobile apparently has a trade-in program that may help those who can’t decide what to do with that old iPhone. From April 1 through May 19, you can trade in an iPhone for up to $350 credit towards a new HTC HD2. Participating T-Mobile dealers will be authorized to give a minimum of $100 credit (max $350) to those trading in their iPhones. The iPhone must be functional and in working condition; screen not broken, damaged or leaking; and no liquid damage or corrosion present. According to the details, activation is not required with the credit being applied to the fully priced HD2.”

If you’re looking to ditch an old and dusty iPhone for some HD2 goodness at T-mobile (assuming they have some HD2s in stock), you’re in luck – the Trade-in program is live!

“T-Mobile’s not officially selling its world-beating HD2 until Wednesday, but if you’ve a Walmart nearby and hankering to get HTC’s latest and greatest a few days early, it might be worth a trip out. JDMiPhoner managed to score one from his local Wally World a full four days early, and he’s been kind enough to unbox it, boot it up and give us a few first impressions on video.”

So I guess I’m happy I live in a country where money talks and official release dates walk, as evidenced by this lucky man’s ability to pick up an HD2 ahead of the March 24 official drop date. He has the first “official” consumer unboxing, so feel free to take a look and further solidify your HD2 want or justify your HD2 “skip” status!

Am I the only one who thinks the Nissan Cube looks like a regular vehicle a giant picked up between his thumb and forefinger and squeezed.
