Just checked.
edit: scratch that. It's there but when you click to actually order it, it's a blank page. They are probably doing it right now.
Anyway, just thought i'd post it.....
Buy it in-store! It helps build hype and it's fun to sell phones like these. Then laugh at people buying iphones with 3.5" screens haha
We work on commision

Upgrade. When the preorder page went live there was no way to perform an upgrade. After about an hour, they added the Note into the selection phones you can use for an upgrade. I was worried they weren't going to allow upgraders to preorder, but I was wrong.
First time poster.
I just tried upgrading a line that was eligible, but the price is coming out to $399 and I can't seem to get the $100 dollars off to make it $299.

The price of the phone is $399 but there is a "$100 discount". Are you encountering this price at the time you have to pay? I think maybe the discount won't be visible in your cart until you are actually ready to pay. You have to select the Note as your phone, then click "Add a Plan" and select the appropriate data plan.

Well just pre-ordered mine from AT&T online.
I am only 7 months into my current contract (Samsung Infuse 4G) but my Note upgrade cost is $299.00 + $18 onetime fee / 2yr contract extension. Plus I'll ebay my Infuse in a few weeks so that'll help lower the cost.
I tried BestBuy but it wouldn't allow the upgrade pricing. Oh well...no free case.
HOPE I don't regret this...but I don't think I will...the Infuse (4.5") has kinda gotten me used to larger smartphones.

HOW HOW HOW ?????? You shouldnt be able to do that. I cant!!!
Pre-ordered Carbon Blue shortly after midnight using via AT&T Premier with my employers discount for monthly service. Ordered new line with "voice-restricted data-only" at $36/mo after 20% employer discount (currently I'm Sprint w EVO 4G). Was not eligible for $100 discount due to no voice-plan. Price was $375 - $25 employer discount + $21 state sales tax = $371.
And, yeah, this data-only plan (which claims "unlimited data") does not seem to be available to the general public, it's somehow tied tied to my employer-discount negotiated plans. Will be trying to use VOIP to handle the very low number of calls I make each month, but that's the topic for another forum.

The Premier website is freakin' annoying. They're listing the thing at $399 then forcing you to get a rebate. I thought Premier customers were supposed to get preferential treatment!
EDIT: Oops, looks like the discount is applied automatically when you check out. Still, it's annoying -- like they're trying to make you think you're getting a better deal than you are.

My T-bolt was pre-ordered with wirefly shortly after midnight pst.
Anyone else go this route? I should have it Friday, fingers crossed!
Mine is as well, gotta love not having to pay state tax at best buy!
Funny thing, I didn't even know wirefly was preordering tonite. I just happened to return my giftcard from the preorder at bestbuy.
I hope you all used fatwallet to get an additional $25 cashback. There is a coupon for a Transcend 4GB MicroSD Card & Mini & Standard Adapters.
So instead of Besbuy and its $300, it is 175 from wirefly thanks to fatwallet. I actually didn't remember at first, so I had to cancel my first order and redo it with fatwallet.
I ordered as well, i hope the standard fedex shipping gets here before monday
I don't even see it on the site? Did they pull it off?
EDIT: NM, it suddenly appeared. If I do this pre order, it's not going to mess w/my plan, right? I've got that 69.99/month for 450 minutes, unlimited data and 5 friends/family.
We don't know VZW pricing yet, do we?

What I'm afraid of is losing the $20 credit I get every month for the "special" plan that I'm on (that's the one that expired on 1/31 and was "only" available to special people). It's $59.99 (+) 29.99 (-) $20 = 69.98 for unlimited data, text, 450 minutes PLUS 5 friends and family (usually you only get that on 900+ minute plans). It wants me to add a plan to my cart and of course THAT plan isn't available. ~sigh~
I think I'm going to HAVE to get it from VZW so I can save the $30 w/my final NE2 discount. I wonder if VZW will have a $50 "visa" rebate to get the price down. I did the pre-order w/BB and have that $50 GC but they won't do the NE2 credit, I've asked several times. Coulda returned the BB card I guess, but I'll end up using it, I do shop there upon occasion :-D
Don't know if Wirefly has improved their activation process but I remember when the Incredible first came out, a bunch of people purchased from them because it was cheaper and they had issues with shipment, activation, and customer service. If I recall correctly there were people unable to activate their phones for almost a week. Just an fyi.......

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.

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.

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.

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.

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
Biggest big dog there is, NOTE!
Ahh thanks! With tax that matches Amazon but I get it instantly
Is it available in black?
I was at the Costco in Azusa CA where they were selling the phone for 129.99.
Seemed like a good price. They sold out of the silver ones though. No blacks either. Call around to local Costco to see.

I stumbled upon this at Costco over the weekend and was happy to find the deal. I'd been thinking about moving from Verizon to AT&T for a while now due to needing better 4G/3G coverage in a few areas and this sealed the deal.
Funny thing is that if you'd asked me what phone I was getting a few weeks ago I probably would have said a Galaxy S4. My last few phones on Verizon have been Samsungs (a Fascinate and a Galaxy Nexus) and I've been pretty happy with them overall. But after playing with the HTC One for a while I found that it fit better in my hands and that I liked the screen better. (Those are two of the most important phone features, IMHO.) The more distinctive looks of the phone sealed the deal and great pricing was just icing on the cake.
It is a great price and Costco has gear return policies. 90 days.
I regret purchasing square and trade be a because Costco has a 100 up front and only 25 deductible.

Can you do an upgrade with Costco in the store? I was looking at their website and it seems like the offer is only for online.
I asked them and he said you can, but I would call for clarification. I'm confused with this:
The $70 discount said you have to have an "available 2 year upgrade" and sign a 2 year new contract.
What qualifies as a 2 year upgrade? Just a general available upgrade or it has to been 2 years?

I was on a month to month contract with ATT (switched from Verizon and used an old GS2) and upgraded in store at the $159.99 price. I actually need to go back and get my $30 back for the price reduction.
Most contracts for subsidized phones are for 2 years so the carrier can get their money back. You have to sign the 2 year contract agreement with ATT or face an ETF should you choose to end it earlier. Pretty standard these days.
Another important thing to mention about Costco is that they only charge you taxes on $270 rather than the full retail ($549 IIRC) so it came out to much less than what it would've cost direct through ATT (about $180 total after tax with the $159.99 device price).
does this mean no taxes online order or through the in-store? Also, no HTC One in black at this point. I will wait another week and see if they get it in stock.

I'm not quite sure about online but I certainly had to pay taxes while in store.

I see you live in CA, so those taxes will apply to me as well when I upgrade. I'm excited to get my HTC One and SGS4 in July. Hopefully they have similar deals to the ones right now!
Anyone know if Costco will allow me to use the upgrade on one of the lines on my family plan, then just switch the One to my line??
Sent from my One XL using xda app-developers app
Yep. They can handle that
I picked up the one from costco over the weekend. They had no problem keeping my grandfathered unlimited plan. They didn't have the black and told me to come back any time within 90 days to exchange when it arrives.
Just picked up the One on this deal. mmm. Initially, I really wanted black, which they will ship you, but I also wanted immediate gratification. I am getting to like the silver more and more and the free accessories kit isn't horrible
Oops. looks like my xda sig needs updating
after uimptin
If you upgrade through Costco and sign a 2 year renewal would you need to stay on the data plan for 2 years as well?
Or you can still drop the data plan by switching back to a dumb phone without any penalty from Costco?
Looked at one today at a local Costco. The silver one on display was full of gaps and the buttons sticking out all over. They told me that they could order a black one to have it sent to my place. Also, I got 90 days to exchange or return if I don't want it. I think I'm gonna wait till HTC straighten out this gap issue.

I looked over all the paperwork and the best I can tell is there is no penalty by Costco and it seems you can kill the contract after 14 days and pay the $325 ETF.

Is this the tiny gap along the top, most noticeable near power button? It almost looks like the edge of the white plastic there has a slight difference in level.

You still have the ATT ETF to deal with if after 14 days.

my bad. Heh, I want to do the same. The black is now on Costco's website, but listed as Backordered :\
I went back to AT&T and got mine today. Was expecting it to be $575 like website, but was $540 instead. They must have matched Verizon's deal. Glad I could not get website to work last night!
What a glorious machine!!!

Something else interesting on the AT&T vs. Verizon question: Straight Talk now supports AT&T LTE for $45/mo.
My G2 was $540 on release day, as were some others that I've read about.
It supposedly has to do with the difference between the AT&T Next price and the Full Retail price, with the former needing to be price-adjusted by the rep, but most reps don't realize they need to or have to.
My reps never understand why I want to buy phones at full retail (I've bought like 5 or so in the last 6 months). It must not be common?

This.
Multiply the "Next" price by 20 and thats what you pay + tax for any phone in the store.
in this case its 27x20=540 + tax. The listed retail price is meaningless.
Whats really interesting is the new iPhone 5c is listed as $20 on Next pricing which would effectively mean it will only be $400 brand new, but their listed retail is like $549

The Verizon deal only works on contract. If i could pick up the G2 from Verizon off-contract for $540 before taxes, I'd go get it right now.

Holy crap. If I can get a 5C for $400, I would totally do it just to have another smartphone.
I have a problem
I bought mine on launch day and the display said $579 no contract price, but I was charged $540 (before tax). I thought it was odd, but wasn't about to complain. This phone is a steal at that price.
It was $540 in stores when I picked it up on Friday. So glad I didn't order online for that 575 it's showing. I'm in Dallas too.

I went into my AT&T store to buy it, but they would only sell it for $575, not $540. I asked them about the $540 price and price matching, etc. No go. Didn't buy!

I would have still paid $575 for this phone. It's that awesome. But I'd like to know why there are inconsistencies with the price. Even the display in the AT&T store shows $575.

I tried to get the $540 price and failed as well. I said "my friend got it for $540" (since you guys are all my friends ) but he said that is the NEXT pricing and I had to pay the $579. Oh well - I still think that's a great price for a device of this caliber and I am a happy owner.

Yeah, it's still a great value, especially when you stack it up against the Note 3, iPhone 5s, and GS4. You get a lot of phone for the money.

I'm surprized more people don't do the buy on contract and just pay the ETF. I mean $199+$325 is only $525. Plus it looks like you only pay tax on the $199. Or maybe I'm missing something.

I thought about that too, but wanted to save my upgrade for whatever comes next. Also, it depends on which state you live in. In the lovely people's republic of California, we have to pay tax on the retail price regardless.

I just got upgraded to HTC One 3 months ago. So what will be the price in the store if i want to buy this at full price $540 or $579 ?
Also could you guys give the exact address of the store that sold it for $540 in Dallas.
