I'm coming from an HTC Inspire 4G and the difference with the screen quality and battery life is amazing, I'm so happy with this phone.
I went to my local walmart and saw the phone for $99.98 and saw the ad for a Free $100 walmart gift card when buying smartphones so I got it right away.
BTW if anyone is interested in this deal, it seems that Tomorrow 12/3 is the last day that it will be available.
It's a ridiculous phone for $99, free just doesn't seem right.
Wow, I got ripped when I paid $1.04.
Sounds to me like you got ripped off $100 gift card at Walmart so you can buy more sh*t @ walmart

You can use the gift cards for gas, groceries you'd be buying anyway, maybe a case for the phone if they stock them.
It's a good deal, it's money you'd otherwise be taking out of your bank account. Unless you never purchase anything from Walmart that is.
I'll hopefully get in on this today.
I assume YMMV, so I shall pass by the Walmart tonight.
Was hoping to get this phone as a gift for somebody and with a $100 gift card I can buy some other things I was going to get at Walmart anyways.

Well walmart is pretty close to me and I usually put gas there so with the gift card I get a 10 cent discount per gallon = $2.89 for me.
$2.99! It's still $3.05 here.
I paid $0.01 for my SGS2 - how much did you pay in taxes?

<--- Feels stupid for paying $199.
I already had a contract not sure if that's why your all getting it for that price.
Also for the $99 SGS2 at Walmart is it with a new contract or can you renew your current contract for that price and giftcard?
Going to get this for a friend so trying to find my best route.

If you're eligible for an upgrade, you can renew and still get the deal.

Best Buy dropped the price to $100 on Sunday. Online retailers have had it at that for a while.
I was unaware of the amazon deal,
Thanx,
Will be shopping this weekend

I really lucked out and got it for $50 the day it came out on May 24th at Best Buy. Signed up for the phone freedom $50 gift card back in Feb and got $50 off instantly . Then they had a $50 gift card promotion going on for the phone and got that instantly as well. So walked out only paying $99 but an hour late I got an email from Best Buy thanking me for buying a phone and to click the link to download my $50 gift card. Ended up printing that up and buying a Otterbox Defender case with it....but returned it a couple weeks later for the Commuter case. Still amazed at the deal i got considering i was upgrading as well.
Why is the DNA so much cheaper on Amazon than Verizon itself? Is safe to buy from there? I mean it isn't refurbished model right?
Amazon DNA: $50
Verizon DNA: $200
Thank you for the help. It'd be cool to save $150 haha
If it was refurbished it would say. I work at Walmart in the wireless center and its 148 not that big of a leap but mabe amazon is doing a promotion or something

not that i know of let me check it out i dont think you will have a problem i buy other stuff on amazon that there has never been a problem other then once when i got the correct packaging and wrong case for the epic touch a year ago but they were great with allowing me to return it and get the correct case. i dont see a problem with it seems as if they are just doing a sale or something of it
edit: i do see that the 50$ is for new verizon customers and it goes up to 100 with upgrading. so idk if you are already on verizon or not
I got mine from best buy on a new line, I had them price match it for me. However, I did have to go to a few stores to make sure they had it in stock as well as make sure the manager approves the price match, some of them didn't.

yea i noticed the $50 version isn't there any more...it must have been a holiday/new year special. however, its cool. Thank you for the help. I'll probably end up buying from Amazon cause it'll be cheaper...I've bought other stuff from there and been okay with it, but the whole shbang with it being cheaper on Amazon compared to Verizon was like..whats the catch?
I just got two DNAs from best buy last Tuesday. They priced matched the $50 price that Amazon had. I ended up getting them both for free because I signed up for the $50 gift card offer that best buy was offering the week before. They gave me 2 $50 gift cards for signing a new wireless contract.
I switched from T-Mobile. I had the HTC Amaze. So far I don't regret the change. But the only thing that I'll miss from my Amaze is the 32gb ext sd card. It's going to take a bit to adjust the limited space that's on the DNA. Other than that, I'm really enjoying the DNA with the Venom Rom.

There is no cons from buying there I have bought phones from amazon in the past and they were brand new and worked great.
The reason some don't buy from them or Best Buy, etc... is if you cancel within 6 months or something, you pay their $350 early term fees in addition to Verizon.

so as the title states best buy price match guarantee worked in my success, that i would very surprised at!! i was shopping online sprint released me from contract using vzw prl's too much roaming they terminated me so i was shopping online at amazonwireless.com found the note 2 grey version only for 149.99 and the dna 49.99 out the door 200 bucks went to best buy asked for a manager showed him the pricing and sure enough they gave me both devices for 225 out the door i purchased the geek squad warranty. 9.99 a month per line i got it cause they give you one free battery for signing up was well worth it just for that!! and if you cancel before 30 days well then you get a battery for free and you help rep make a pinch of commision costing you nothing just thought i would share to all of those thinking that 299 was a hefty price like myself!! hope i have helped, pm me with any questions

Verizon Note 2 150 dollars on amazon
Also anytime you are dealing with commission there are also chargebacks. So no you arent making the salesman any commission. But if their chargebacks are abnormally high you could be getting them in trouble.

uh... this is different dude, i am talking about price matching amazon wireless, but go ahead troll on my man!
The only things is I found it cheaper on dell site and Amazon wouldn't match it because they only price match certain sites...dell has it for 129 with 50 bucks giftcard and bestbuy has it for 98 Buck in store

You can get it even cheaper if you have a Sam's club near by. I got one for my wife last night with a price match from Sam's for $98.88 and then the $50 Best Buy gift card on top of that.
My best but said they don't honor online prices for cell phones upgrades. Said it came from corporate. Glad for those that got it. Remember getting my rezound for a penny

Actually... the new Price match you speak of was started March 3rd, and phones (on contract) are not included in the price match.
Right on the updated Best Buy Low Price page:

With some discounts applied, some employers/schools have it waived.
I Did the same thing!
Got my Note 2 about little over 2 weeks ago for 189. PLUS got a $50 gift card that I applied towards the cost and end result was 149 bucks after tax.
What a great way to get a phone now though.. I used to always get my phones from Amazonwireless. But now that Best Buy Price Matches.. Ill be staying local till they quit doing it.

Well, crap. I'm out $199.99 now. Thanks for the tip. I just became eligible for an upgrade yesterday, and my new credit card gives me $200 at the end of the month (if I spend too much), plus 5% cash back on amazon purchases. I couldn't pass it up. I hope its better than my Galaxy S2.

I was mostly kidding, I'm sure I will love it. It's been a long time since I've had one of the latest and greatest phones. I do love my S2 though. It's the best phone I ever had and could go all day and then some on the extended battery. Should show up on my doorstep tomorrow!
So I had seen this Cyber-Monday deal earlier in the day, but in the cart when I would add the phone for a new line of service with an existing account, I would get $169.99. So after calling the wife, and her hemming and hawing over if I should pay cash or put it on AMEX (to cover the phone), she finally agreed to let me buy it with the AMEX. I went back into the cart and added the phone again, with the same option (existing account new line of service) but the price went from 169.99 to 199.99. I contacted Amazon, they could confirm it that it was indeed at the $169.99 price on their side (with the same options) but for some reason the cart was messing up. They had me buy it at 199.99 and immediately changed the price to $169.99. That plus I had a single $25 statement credit on a $75 purchase w/AMEX for anything at Amazon during December, made it a sweet purchase at $144.99.
I got the phone on Wednesday, and I'm very glad I made the move back to Sprint. We originally had a Sero account (for my wife) that got upgraded for smartphones. Since I bought my line back to Sprint, we went with the unlimited family plan and with my organizational discount, it made the second line the same cost as the Sero plan. I'm very happy indeed.

I just switched from the evo lte to the note 3 and I can't even begin to express my satisfaction with the switch. Except for trying to get used to the power button, volume rockers, home and back buttons being on the opposite sides - I am so in love with this thing.
