Just curious if anybody had any opinions on where the best place to buy this beast would be? So far I'm thinking Amazon Wireless. The Rezound is $200 there and the phone that I will be getting for the wife is free. Beyond that any possible price match scenarios? Thanks in advance for your advice!
If you want it now, then a corporate Verizon Store. If you can wait, then Amazon as its cheaper and you could save on tax.
Wal-mart! If they have it in stock. It's like 220 - 230...
radioshack.com & wirefly.com have it for $249.
wireless.amazon.com has it for $229 (upgrade), $199 (new contract)
I went to Best Buy and had them price match Amazon's price of $229 for my upgrade. Great deal IMO.
I got it with the Accessory Bundle from VZW Store when the opened Monday morning for $288 total on upgrade. But, I had a $50 discount and I am a Veteran(15% Discount)... lol
wirefly.com has it for $220 for new contract. Free FedEx and no sales tax I believe. And they have the double your data offer available too.
Thanks everyone for your input...I'm seriously at war with myself about getting either this or waiting for the Nexus, I just can't decide!

This is the way to go.
$100 Amazon gift card with Hot Spot plan!
Hey! I was just checking on the Amazon price and they added a new incentive!
If you add a Hot Spot to your service at activation you get a $100 Amazon Gift Card. I don't see any fine print stating how long you have to have the Hot Spot feature. For what I was looking at it costs $20 more per month so even if I keep it for 1 month that's an $80 "discount" on the phone. Brings it down from their current $200 to $120. And I don't think Amazon taxes phones and there's free 2 day shipping.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html/?docId=1000745951
And they too have the double data available on their site.
I think I'm about to check out and complete purchase!
Is there anywhere where the retail price is slightly lower than the $650 verizon is asking for?

Craigslist or eBay lol.
I wonder if it occurs to HTC that the lack of S-off and root could effect sales.
Verizon is certainly being rather pricky about not letting me upgrade early...I've gotta wait until December 27th.
I'm on three discontinued plans...unlimited data, the $39.95 Friends and Family phone service, and 500 texts for $5. I don't want to mess with that.

same...i have to wait till like January 4th
I did the Amazon 1 cent deal. It's real. No tax, rebate, shipping charges, nothing! They actually charged my card .01! It's due here tomorrow. And unless there's a rock in the box, I'm prolly gonna like that deal.
I also got in on the 1 cent deal from amazon wireless and waiting for mine as well, it runs til the 28th so if you want to save 200-300 bucks prob the best deal you'll get
Just remember, it's for new customers only. Will not work for upgrade.

Sprint and target are offering 150 for used evo 4g, which isn't really a bad deal if you're evo is bad condition, but if yours is in good condition you can easily get 200, probably 250, and a slight chance at 300 if you post at the right time and include the right stuff.
Now there's also radioahack who is offering a whopping 100 for your evo. Like I said above if yours is in good condition go with Craig's or eBay, if not go with target or sprint. $100 ? Really radio shack?
Last of all is best buy. I'm not quite sure about there buy back program but its probably similar
Edit: wirefly is also sellin it right now for 179.99, but according to user RDCRDS, they ill jack I up to 300 if you switch the phone to another line. So for those upgrading your mom/brother/daughters lines, don't go through wirefly.
If you decide to sell your Evo through inline services, I highly recommend starting with craigslist. There are no fees or taxes, but the buyers are usually cheap compared to eBay buyers. With eBay you get a larger customer base and your item will sell for more, BUT and this a big but, sir mix-a-lots type of butt, eBay and PayPal combined, charge an arm and leg for their services. Those fees can be paid back with in 30 days so you can take them out of ur next paycheck to make your self feel better.
Heres a link to an eBay and PayPal fee calculator. If your start your item at 100 and it sells for 270 plus 10 shipping and handling, your total fees will be about 35 bucks
Once you sell, I recommend buying from sprint if the instant rebate service they're offering is still available at the time of launch. The tax charged on these phones is based on the full retail price and sprint usually has the cheapest out of all of the others.
I personally will be buying fromnbest buy because I put 50 bucks down on may 5th to pre order mine through that "secret pre order" thing they were doing.
So where are you guys going to buy from?

I think this is a pointless thread and is really irrelevant based upon the title. Ill humor you though. ATM im going with Best Buy but if sprint expands their new activation credit from another carrier thing that gives you $125 off the phone then it will be Sprint and the Sprint store I am near is not doing Pre-orders.

Much better thread then the another released date one.
So what you are saying is if Best Buy sells the phone for an extra $100 then everyone else, say $599, that is the price I will be paying tax on? Do you have to pay the tax on the full price of the device anywhere you go? If that is the case, I wish I didn't put $50 down at BB because that just seems wrong!
Can someone confirm this is how it works....

Its to what YOU pay. Lets say sprint is the only one that gave an instant rebate and all other places you have to mail it in. $200-50=150*1.07(for 7%)=$160.50 vs 200*1.07=214-50=164. OK so the difference is 164-160.5=$3.50. So it costs you
roughly a gallon of gas. Nothing to fret about. Also Best Buy has reward zone stuff and well the people that work there usually aren't as dumb as the people that work in a sprint store.
Also in reference to your $100 more that would cost you $7 in tax. Basically take the difference and multiply it by your tax. add the 1 in front of the decimal to add the tax or add a 0 to find out how much the tax is.

I understand the math but thought I would be paying the tax on $200 and not on $600 from Best Buy. So it is actually $400 more then I ws expecting to pay tax on and we are about .0875% here. If you trade in your device, do they give you the tax for it like when you trade in a car?
when I preordered mine at best buy the guy who rang me up told me that the gift card is refundable. I'm pretty sure bsed on past experience that best buy is going to charge 599 for full retal and sprint is going to charge 499. So pretty much you're looking at a 10 dollar dfference if the tax rate in your area is 10%! 50-60 dollars.
Wow that's pretty much the 50 down payment

im gona get mine at best buy because in oregon i can get a real deal. probobly around 250 with my 2 year upgrade in september
I already purchased two from wirefly. 179.99 no tax, free shipping and 50 bucks off when used with my BofA add it up. I might have to wait a few extra days after launch but I am patient. So out the door 129.99. This is of course upgrade price.
I went in to Sprint to preorder mine today. This is a corporate store and I asked about the mail in rebate, he told me they are going to be using mail in rebates again with the EVO 3D. He may not have been right, but I do remember when Sprint stopped mail in rebates they said it would be temporary.

I have read elsewhere on here that Best Buy charged people tax on the total cost of the phone. I have no reason to disbelieve these people but that was not my experience. When I purchased my evo from BB last year, I was only charged tax on what I actually paid for the phone. I'm not complaining but I do wonder why this is not uniform all over.

It depends on the state. From what I've read, that's how it works in California. Stores don't get to decide how they charge sales tax on items people buy...state/local government does that for them and they just pass it along to us .

That's only if you order online I think. I recently upgraded one of my lines and had to pay the $18 'upgrade fee'. I tried a couple times to get them to credit it back since I've never had to pay an activation fee because of my work discount, but they just told me their policies changed and it was a 'valid' fee lol. They said the only time it was not charged was online orders only. I can activate/switch as many phones as I want using the online activation thing and not get charged...but having the guy at the store punch in a few numbers costs me $18.
Just Bought mine from WireFly moments ago, $179.99 Free Shipping.
Wirefly is ok but if you have a problem with the phone it is 100% harder to get it fixed replaced because they do not have local stores.
For 20$ more ill go with best buy.Plus if in 5 months if you take the phone off that line they can hit you up for 300$
I got 1 evo from them and had a lot of problems.

i've heard/read nothing but bad things about wirefly. i wouldn't know personally b/c i've never used them. is there a perk to preorder with best buy over preordering with local sprint store? seems like i will pay tax/upgrade fee in both places.
I just switched to to sprint. I had the Nexus S 4G but i had reception issues, so I went and got the EVO. I'm gonna return that when the EVO 3D comes out atBest Buy.
Lets start listing where the SGSII can be purchased, and for how much.
We all know AT&T now has it for $199 on contract, $549 outright.
Amazon shows it as $150 for a qualified upgrade. The phone page is down, but you can still add it to your cart and order it.
Sams' Club also has it for $169 for a qualified upgrade, $199 for a new line
Weird that a new line would be more expensive...
Samsung Galaxy S II for AT&T - Sam's Club Mobile...
I got my Wife's Infuse there for $99 a few weeks back, and they even let us keep her Unlimited Data plan. Works for me.
Still waiting to see if CostCo will have it tomorrow. I like the idea of their 90 day return policy just in case the Nexus Prime is too tempting.

I was thinking about doing this too... So, say if I were to buy it from CostCo at the 2-year price, would I be able to return it within its 90 days for a refund along with terminating the plan early (with no early termination fees of course)? So if this does happen, I should be allowed to buy the Prime, after the return, for the 2-year price, right?
I'm asking this because I was under the impression that, before 90 days, CostCo only held returns/refunds for the handset itself, and not for the 2-year service plan. And that AT&T were the only ones who could offer a refund/cancellation of a 2-year service plan, in addition to the handset, but this would only be before 30 days. Is this true?
Walmart's in store price is going to be 148.88 , but their website is listing it as 164.99 for qualified upgrade. But none of the local Walmart around here have received any of the phones yet in store. I'm going to try to get best buy here to price match.

How did you get them to price match is there an ad i can print somewhere?
I just spoke with someone at CostCo Wireless. He has no idea when they are getting it, so buying it there is not an option for me, but I was able to get clarification on their return policy.
They offer the standard 30 day return if you just flat out don't want the device, with no penalty regarding your plan, and your "upgrade" can be rolled back, so same as an AT&T store.
For up to 90 days you can exchange your device for a new one if something goes wrong with yours. After 90 days you are dealing with the standard 1 year warranty through AT&T.
None of the other retailers in my area have the phone yet, so I am heading to my local AT&T store to buy it.

OK here's the deal. I am currently phone-less being I sold my GS2 in wake of the note. Now I have two upgrades due in May. My GF also wants a Note and she said she is more than happy with waiting. Me, I tried but I can't lol. Being smart phone less sucks. Not fun bringing my new Transformer Prime around and hoping for wif lol. So here are my options.
One of the upgrades is deff going to my GF. So that leaves one. I figured I could buy the note today for $650 and instead if paying early upgrade price of $550 saving my May upgrade for future phones like a SG3 or whatever. Or better yet I could buy a Note for $300 "full upgrade price" in May and eBay it and make some profit. I have went to all local ATT stores asking to upgrade early, but no go. Even tried customer service. Last year I got my GF a iPhone 4 early 30 days early, but they say they are much more strict now.
Basically should I just pay the retail of $650 and pocket my upgrade for the future? Or pay $550 and extend ans save $100, which seems silly.
I already told my GF I'd sacrifice my PS Vita if I was able to get the Note. I'm dying g to get one!
I also know $650 seems expensive. But I look at it as a investment. Being I would be able to sell it down the road if needed or wanted for at least 60% of my money back. And I'm not signing a contract extension. And I believe not having to pay the $36 new activation fee.
Thanks, I've been reading these forums all day yesterday. So ready for my Note!
Go to best buy they will price match at$t and you get rewards zone points, if you're a silver member they even have a 3x points coupon out now that's good through today.. 650 would get you 1950 points with coupon, equals almost 40 back in reward zone certificate.

I just purchased mine for 150... I will try at&t service and determine if i will keep it.. If I decide i don't like it I will cancel my service and buy out my contract... 325... That's a total of 475 for the phone itself... Now that's a deal compared to paying 650...

I hear ya man, today was the first time I laid out full price for a device. I usually go full upgrade or early I must really love the phone
But in my case my other two lines are due for upgrade in may so my gf gets one. And the other I can save for a future "me" device . Or get a note and sell it for $600 on the bay with my upgrade. Thus means I got mine for $300.
We utilize 3-4 of our lines between me and my gf. Id like to drop one off as well and save the $10 a month.The other we give to her parents in the mid west. Otherwise I would have done the $150 deal.
The ATT reps were totally unaware of the 50% off deal too, go figure lol.
Of course they were. They don't know of any of the deals I ask about.
Pay full price. I've been selling almost 10 $500 per Note in Craigslist. Only $100 more from early upgrade
Maybe try another store I just bought a phone back in November when I signed up for At&t. I called the store and said I wanted to buy the phone outright and the guy said why do that when you can do and early upgrade because they were not able to sell the phone off contract at the time. Do you live on Los Angeles? The store I go to is really customer focused.

I paid $375
I just purchased one for $375, because my contract wasn't up until 08/12, so I had to do what they call an "exceptional upgrade". $300 for the phone and $75 for the early upgrade. I did it at one of those authorized AT&T stores, looks like the real store but they have their own price for early upgrades , compared to AT&T with their $175-250 fee. And now I see that premiere customers are eligible for 50% discount so I'll be calling them in the morning to try and get some kind of credit. Even though I really didn't spend any money because I sold my Skyrocket for $400!

sell me one lol
I'll be buying mine outright. $100 difference between outright and extending my contract and losing out on my scheduled upgrade in July? Kind of a no-brainer.
I did an early upgrade and was expecting to pay $550. It rang up at $500. The rep didn't know why. My upgrade wasn't due until March of '13.
Mannnnn why is galaxy note so expensive here in VA???? gal note 300 + 38 dollars activation fee + 30 dollars 3gb data plan(?)
I hear some people paid 150 for gal note with contract.. can you guys help me where I can possibly get them for cheap?
As it is right now that is the regular price. I think Amazon had it for $250.00 for some time not sure if it still that price . Anyone that got it for less was pretty much a fluke. I got it myself for $150.00 as an upgrade and they waived any other fees and this was at Bestbuy and I consider myself very lucky.

I'm in Charlotte right now. I've tried Best Buy and they said no because it's web only.
I paid the same thing. It's a standard price for newly released premium phones nowadays.
It's worth it. See if you can't try BB to price match Amazon.

It's definitely worth it! However, in addition to the 300 dollars there is tax, in states like CA they charge that on the full retail price of the phone.
YMMV
my brother gave me his galaxy note for my birthday. He said that he exchanged his phone and got a $150 credit. He had to pay the remaining balance for an upgrade phone, $150. I don't know if you have a phone that you can exchange (he had an HTC Vivid 4g for ATT). Thing to note, he traded his phone at a certified reseller and not at a corporate store. YMMV.

Should still be valid. $50 off.
I note it is worth every penny.

http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Galax..._1_1?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1332795228&sr=1-1 amazon has it on contract $250 and I don't believe they charge shipping or tax.
I personally purchased my note on release day from Sam's Club and walked out out of pocket under $300 and they charged me only $16 activation fee, no clue why. Sam's Club only charges tax on their sales price and not tax on the "full" price. I did a 2 year agreement and they transferred my unlimited data plan. Also I love my note, I've practically given my girlfriend my tablet, though it's an Adam so no big loss there
$229 at fry's. Best buy will match. I did it. Out the door $280
Biggest big dog there is, NOTE!
I got mine for 150 through some AT&T promotion. Today I switched by black one for a white one even though I was two days outside the 30 day window. They even waived the restocking fee. Woo Hoo!!!
Feel my pain, I paid $688 with tax Got it early couldn't wait for my upgrades in May. But I figured I will get 2 for $600 in May with my 2 due upgrades. Give one to the GF and sell one for $550 on Craigslist and make most of my cash back that I paid outright for mine. In the long run it will cost me roughly $100 bucks to have it 2 1/2 months early. Worth it to me. Can't stand waiting.

Look online at their weekly add then select the mobile phone section and itslike the first thing posted
Also I just got it sunday

Ahh thanks! With tax that matches Amazon but I get it instantly
Is it available in black?
I went into ATT today to grab my wife her own LG G2 and saw the price was $49.99 online versus $99 in the store. They actually price matched it in the store. I was kinda bummed that I paid $99 the week prior and they gave me a $50 bill credit to offset the price from my purchase. How awesome was that. So if you are looking to get this device $49.99 so should be reason enough for this beast of a phone. If you are within your 14 day window they may also give you the $50 bill credit. I attached my receipt for the non believers.
Nice! Thanks. (I hit your button, too.) Did they also waive activation fee? Looks like activation was $0 on your receipt.
I just bought mine last week, and the store said that 49.99 price only applies to online purchases. Very bummed, considering all the camera problems I'm having with it. They said I can return since its within 14 days of purchase but there is a restocking fee of 35 dollars which would make my total savings of 15 dollars + hassle of return and wait for mail delivery.
You lucked out!
Remember, they also offer %50 off bluetooth life+ headsets, if you are into that sort of thing.
Also, was anyone able to score some free goodies from AT&T with contract extension/renewal?

Not true. I would go to another ATT. My receipt proves they can do it. The LG is at discount and is not apart of the Online Only deals.

There shouldn't be a restock fee if it is defective

I just spoke to ATT, rep Christina. She said there is restocking fee if the phone was shipped to you, even if you ordered in store, and even if it is defective.
You need to ship the phone back with the prepaid label to avoid restocking fee.
I also placed my order today via same rep and hope to receive the phone by Friday.

Best buy has same offer on black friday. If you can't wait till then you can get it for $99 plus you get $50 e-gift card
Costco has it for $80 including accessories and free activation/waived upgrades in most instances ie. if you ask.
Don't forget, att currently has a $100 trade in program that i used to buy a pebble smartwatch cuz the guy was cool enough even though I didn't buy it there, just saying...

Paid $39.99 Canadian for my G2 today.
Paid full price on release day. Proud of it; worth every penny.
Kudos to those that are getting discounts now, I simply couldn't wait!

I paid full price on release day then complained to ATT the price dropped to 99.99 and they gave me a $50 credit
Deal or not, the G2 is a Beast!!!

I paid full price the first time, then I broke it, but had another upgrade eligible line, so I bought a replacement for 49.99 through Amazon. lol:good:
