They are mostly and of across retailers. It is best to wait 1 or 2 weeks until retailers get new shipment

My galaxy tab has gps and ive never used it, thats what my galaxy nexus is for lol

Apparently to some this is important. To me not so much, but I do believe you should get what you pay for, if it says GPS in the specs then the GPS should work.

I pmed you

I replied back.

I will sell mine for 500, it's the grey one. And like most people, the GPS is pretty weak and does not lock on most times. You'll be lucky to get it locked on a good day, but if you don't care about the GPS then it's in prestine condition.
I'll even pay for regular shipping.

Paid $550 after taxes and shipping

I have a sealed one that I sold to him. If you read the thread listed above you will find out why. Short answer is that i needed to return my broken one and no GS had one in stock and wouldn't get any in for a week or 2. I got cleared to return mine for a refund so I bought one from BB right after that. On Sat a GS called and told me they had one for me to exchange. So i figured I could exchange mine for a new one and help someone out.

Thanks for the clarification.

I purchased one online at officedepot.com for 531 (after tax/shipping), and I have a tracking number that claims I will have it in my hand tomorrow.
I still find it hard to believe considering how difficult it's been finding one in stock, but I'll keep my fingers crossed. Worth a shot, though.

Got mine today at Fry's!

I'm happy to say that I got mine today at Fry's in Manhattan Beach, CA. They had 4.
This really made my day but also annoyed that the whole pre-ordering is flawed.
Merry Christmas everyone!
Did they have docks?

Don't call! I did that last night and got nowhere. I was told to check online and select to ship in store to see if there's inventory.
Guys, just try to go. You'll know they sell it if you see the sign $499 where all the tablets are.
Bought mine around 11am. Only the 32G-Grey.
Just called.... one in stock but might be display model. He said fountain valley has 4 in stock.

i had the lady check the local inventory over the phone, the two in this area did not have any in stock. she took her time and checked each color/hd size specifically.
They do not have them on display in Fountain valley. I was there yesterday picking up a few things and checked the tablet area only had a TF101 on display. Fry's is generally clueless on what they have in store let alone what they do not display.

I guess they sold out then, rather than not getting any. I actually was at Fry's (Northgate one) two days ago (Thursday) and they had them in stock. I bought a 32 GB grey TFP.
Later that day I played with it and I found out it had a stuck pixel on it. I tried running a pixel fix, but it didn't work. When I called Fry's to check if they had any in stock still, the Northgate one didn't. But Roseville actually did. They had 6 in stock of the grey 32GB TFPs (probably also other models. Didn't check). So I rushed out there and swapped my TFP.
I was somewhat shocked to see they put my old TFP back with a $25 discount sticker on it without mentioning the dead pixel...
Just picked up a gray one from Manhattan beach. I think the employees are stashing them. First one said out of stock and second guy kinda didn't want to sell it to me. He tried to sell me the original one.

Lovely, this forum won't let me post the direct link because I'm new.
So, google "best buy transformer TF201-B1-GR" and the first link should be it.
hurry!
Nowinstock.net emailed the link to me. Go to the site.
Edited the link. Still in stock.

I wish they would get the docks in. The wait for 1/5 is killing me inside.

Cool, had two gift cards for BB. Unfortunately, we pay tax here unlike Amazon... Now for the keyboard...
I think Office Depot is listing them as in stock as well right now again.

id like to know about this as well.
odd that they are back up in stock... theyve been out for a few days, i bought mine on friday and just got my tracking number this morning
Got one too. Express shipping. I've been going through this since November. Amazon cancelled, best buy back ordered so I went back to amazon... then today nowinstock.com sends me the txt. Hope its true because my amazon pre order says 1/27 - 2/4. Please post when you get a shipping confirmation. Thanks!

ordered. Should be here on the 3rd or 4th
Canceled my first pre-order, but just ordered another one. I chose the free shipping, and it states that I will receive it by 1.9.12. The reason I wanted the slowest shipping, is I want to give BB as much time as possible to get it in store should I have any issues with the tablet and it can go back to the store.
did you guys get charged as well? Best buy might just charge whether they have them in stock or not...office dept didnt charge me yet, nor did new egg but i canceled that one today
verified showing in stock still

My BB card was charged immediately.
I saw that link over the weekend, ordered it on Sunday morning, and it just arrived. Did the update and all is good so far. Wifi seems to be working, but flash isn't with some apps. I suspect it's the same permissions problem that phones have and it can't be fixed until it's rooted.

CNET Review

The review devices obviously went out today. I'm finding more of these than I know what to do with . . . trying to just post reputable / relevant ones.
Guess this will have to give me my fix until Friday

The video is from CES . . lol. My bad. Lame.
Man you are fast, I was just reading this! The press review embargo was probably lifted today. Hopefully some more in depth reviews coming.
And then wait for them to find some huge flaw in the Note the day it ships to us.

I think it will be a solid phone. Promised myself after the captivate to NEVER buy a phone without reviews or waiting a week or so. I broke that with the skyrocket because I was in San Antonio on launch day and it was $150 there versus $250 in Dallas. Since I am buying off contract I must be patient...I keep telling myself. It is great to see the enthusiasm for the GNote!

It was the GPS. I fiddled with it for 3.5 weeks before returning. Trying the GPS fixes etc. I was so disappointed in Samsung. Never could get it to work well enough for me. That is one thing I check now! The other is the bluetooth.

best place to buy a new Rezound??

I love my phone and want to buy another one for a spare.
I have an upgrade available but don't want to use it, I would rather just buy a phone outright.
What is the best deal anybody has found to buy a brand new Rezound outright??
Amazon.

Well no. Sometimes ebay sellers have a "surplus" of new phones and try to clear them out at a high-midrange price before the demand goes down. If it were me, I'd go the ebay route. If there's a problem with it, ebay guarantees returns and all that. I never buy directly from a person without a middleman.

I bought my Rezound new, sealed in the box from a Verizon employee who won it at work in a contest. They already had one and needed some cash.
I paid $200.00 cash for it (after ESN was verified, etc.)
Might be the BEST 200 bucks I have ever spent.
So back to the question, watch Craigslist and have the seller meet you at at VZW store to verify the ESN. You might not find NIB, but you should be able to get a good used one for a very reasonable price.
What he said. ^^^^

I have to agree with chef Thomas I've bought a whole lot of phones on eBay brand new, around a lil over 400 sounds right for that market.
I'd go that route or craigslist local. Sometimes there's similar deals in your local area and you can do the deal in person just get the ESN ahead of time, and check it then and also check it at time of purchase.
There's a tool for that by the way I don't have a link handy but can send you one.
If you buy a phone from.an individual make sure when you send them the money it clearly states it's a purchase of a phone, because you can dispute the payment and get your money back but if its marked as a gift your stuck like chuck, it used to be that way at least.

I paid $350 for a mint condition rezound on eBay about 3 months ago. It also came with an extended battery and a car dock. I feel like it was a fair deal.

I'm guessing you are under contract so if rezound was on the acct the esn will be blocked until you pay the etf.

Yes I just ported my number to Google Voice and waiting for that to go through to automatically cancel my contract. I am going to pay Verizon what they need right after the number is ported. That's why I was waiting to post the sale on swappa. I wanted to make sure all was set with Verizon first.

as RQUIETT stated, yes this phone has its ups and downs as they all do.
I got my Infuse for 1 penny as a refurb and never had issue one with it. after Thanksgiving, I got my Note and 2 S3's for under $100, also refurbs.
well worth the money.
between contracts, data plans and need accessories and their availability, that's up to you. in my opinion, XDA is the one that keeps us current and keeps our Notes looking and feeling new and up to date
With the latest JB update, the phone is alot zippier. The hardware is still nowhere near the new phones, but it is more than enough for regular/daily use. And as mentioned before, there will be new updated ROMs to keep this phone going.
It sounds like OP is fine with the screen size, so if the price is reasonable (considering how old this phone is), I would recommend it.
Just note that the resale value might drop alot once the new Note 3 comes out later this year.
Ok thanks guys. I found it used. A family member will sell it to me for $150 and the note has no screen scratches and light scratches on the body. What do you guys think? Is it at a good price?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda app-developers app
Yes. In Vancouver Canada, you can flip it for at least $250.
Sounds like a deal! I bought one with one case for $300 and another with a few cases for $210. Hell, I'd buy another if I saw it for 150.
