Yeah once you're on your billing info it tell you your taxes before confirming the order.

It's actually there on your left side of the screen after you put your billing adress, the site picks up your zip code and shows your tax and total while you're putting your credit card info.

yeah im pretty sure well have to pay taxes buying online im more than sure.
would be too good to get it for $500 flat or $500+shipping.
anywho here in FL well be paying somewhere around ~$540 online(plus overnight shipping)
SO if im gona have to pay ~$550 online and have to wait till monday to order the phone for TUESDAY, and we can somehow get it for somewhere(before tuesday) for around ~$560 doesnt sound bad to me, it depends if youre expecting to pay a lil extra to get the phone earlier.
But regardless, i honestly dont see us getting the phone tax free on the website just being realistic here

Sales tax is required to be collected if the vendor has a physical presence in that state.
Ie; Amazon has no physical facilities in Florida, therefore, they don't have to collect the tax. MetroPCS on the other hand, DOES have Corporate stores in Florida. It doesn't make sense that Metro would "waive" the taxes, THEY have to pay them and if you don't it comes out of their profit.

Never mind. I see it. Right when you go to step 2, it shows it. My total for the Motion would be $162.23 w/ taxes. $13.23 worth of taxes for NY -__-!

lol hes right i just remembered this from my macroeconomics class i think lol
but they are locked into a contract with a 350.00 etf when thwy upgrade of sign a new contract.. they end up paying for the phone over the 2years..the phone off contract for 16gb is 549 and 32gb is 599 for sprint,verizon, at&t and tmobile

still not the samething, to come up with $500 at one time over paying $200 is a lot of money, and I never said anything about contract phones to start with, so my point is his argument to me was wrong.

Metro's price is the lowest of any carrier at this point. I doubt it'll drop lower than it is now.

If a business has a physical store in any state you pay taxes, and metro has 6 stores in my little town.
To each his own, but if you spent $300 on the Esteem a year ago and now are going to spend $500 on this one just because it's the next cool thing; you'll probably spend $700 next year on something better. It gets expensive after a while for something you make phone calls on.
