Thought this might help people here. I recently ordered Samsung Galaxy S2(I777) from Att for $0. For some reasons this ONLY works when you order through a tablet. Worked for me, let me know if this works for anyone else.
Nope, $99 from my touch pad
That's pretty nifty. Could it be related to the buy a Tab get a free Galaxy promo?
TouchPad doesn't count, even att knows that.

So does this need to be done from any android tablet? Or just samsung tablets?
Is it a user agent thing? I know ICS Browser + has a honeycomb option. With that option and desktop it still shows $99. TouchPad running CM9 A2. Did you have a certain link, or just go to att.com? Was this an upgrade, add a line, or new customer account?

So no success for anyone except OP?, interesting..... by the way, I saw bigfoot and the chupacabra this morning, all on my phone they got for free by ordering with a tablet....
Seriously though can Someone with a non touchpad tablet verify this, I just got my phone/new contract least week so I can still take advantage of this...
.
I got two GS 2's from Walmart basically for free back in December here in Vicksburg MS. They were running a sale where you got a $100 Walmart Gift card if you bought an Android device. I bought one and they gave me a gift card which I used to buy a second GS2 and recieved another gift card. The Phone price was $98. I then used the second gift card to buy come groceries I needed and of which the money was for anyway. The $4 extra dollars went toward the tax. I was out $9.72 for two I777 Galaxy S2 phones. I noticed the phones went to $130 after that, but now they are back to $98 again.

Figure I could help some potential buyers out.
After reading on this forum that Target Mobile had the Galaxy S2 for $99 I decided to go to the store last night and check it out. Sure enough, they are $99. The saleswoman then asks what kind of phone i currently have/whether i am eligible for upgrade/etc.
I tell her that yes i'm eligible and I have a Captivate. She says "cool you should be able to get $95 on a trade-in"...
me: "uhh, really?" At this point I don't really believe her at all as I've never heard of such a thing with these phones and even if they do trade in i have no reason to believe they'd give me $95 for a used ~1.5 year old phone.
So she says "let me check it out on the CPU". She plugs in the info, comes back, and says "yep, you can get $95 for your captivate, and get the galaxy s2 for $5+tax.
My jaw probably hit the floor, after picking it up I ask her to show me the dotted line and I'm in.
So...for all you cappy owners, hit up Target Mobile!
Was you're captivate rooted or romed?
Thats... unbelievable. Im going to go try this out...
Thanks for sharing your awesome experience!
Edit: Target website is still showing the GS2 as $199. I also called a few local stores here in California and they all confirmed that the device is $199. Where did you see that Target was dropping the price to $99?
Or you could sell it for $200+ on craigslist

i guess this really depends on the area. I'm trying to sell mine on craigslist and no one is even biting (and I'm selling it for less than $200)
I bought mine from Walmart last Friday. I always buy my phones from Walmart since I get alot free gift cards BC of my job.
I only came $2.69 out of pocket.

Hey Red5, I don't remember which thread I was in...but i was lurking a bit last week trying to make a decision on a phone and i saw someone posted that Target Mobile had the SGII this week only for $99.
I walked into the store last night and they had a price tag of $99...

You forgot to include how much your bail-bond was.
Trade-In
I sold my cappy on eBay about 6 months ago for $250.
Right now they are selling em for about $200 bucks.
If your cappy is in like new condition with retail box,
no cracks, chips, scratches and all accessories which
it came with, you can get an easy $200-$225 bucks
even now on eBay.
So $95 bucks trade in is not a good deal at all unless there
is something wrong with phone.
hmm interesting. Mine had quite a few chips on the back. It was laggy as hell and was rooted so i'll take $95.
In store only man. Online is the full $199.99.
Edit: Target deal.

I just sold my Captivate for $250 using craigslist in the Denver area. Granted it was unlocked and included an extra battery, but it was still a great transaction.

I sold my captivate for 200 also. Targets are now buying your old phones. obviously at a lower price but the thing is whether or not you want to deal with trying to sell it on eBay or Craigslist. Then you have to ship it or meet the person. It can become a hassle. I would of done the same thing knowing I could get a gs2 for 5 bucks right then and now. Not having to deal with or waiting for someone to buy my old phone. Great job in getting the phone for 5 bucks.

LOL...exactly.. that sales woman jacked you man
I currently have a Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket with AT&T. I also have an Acer Iconia A500 10" tablet. Both are rooted running custom ROMS. The tablet is actually running a leaked ICS. I have been proposed this offer. A guy has an upgrade available. He wants to buy me a brand new white galaxy note in exchange for these two devices.
If it were you would you accept the trade?
No. LOL he should give you cash, you can decide how much depending on condition of your phone and tablet. Wait a few and watch Note's price drop.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
Skyrocket eBay average sold* price for used phone in perfect condition: $400.00
Iconia A500 eBay average sold* price for used tablet in perfect condition: $300.00
SOURCE.
That is $700 and for that you can get a brand new I7000. That guy would only have to spend $300 on a white note and take a $400 profit off you.
*"Average sold" means the average price for that specific item that actually SOLD. Not the price they are listed for sale.
But you cant calculate it at 300 he is also giving up his upgrade. You have to look at the average sale price of the Galaxy note and its close to 700.
I did actually consider selling both the items and turning around and buying one myself but then I go through the hassle and time of selling them, hoping that I get enough out of them. I also go without a phone in between the time the skyrocket sells and I get the note because it is my only phone.
I am not eligible for an upgrade at the moment so I would pay that $700 price tag. Yes, he may only pay $300 but he wins by getting both devices and saving some money on the purchase and I win by getting the note without the trouble of having to sell both devices and hoping I get enough.
The question I come down to is if the Note is a good enough phone to ditch the skyrocket whose only advantage over the note is that it has NFC and the tablet, which I hardly use because I have a laptop and an iPad, for the note that has the larger screen.
The main things I use my phone for are as a GPS navigator, a web browser, and a camera. The larger screen would seem to be better suited for all of that. I would hope that posting this in the Galaxy Note section you would have some insight as to the performance of the device as well as the customization available (ROMs, Kernels, etc). I've owned the devices I'm giving up, I haven't owned the Note. Just looking for pros and cons and personal opinions. No need for comments like "He's ripping you off" or what not. Just explain why you think he is.
Thanks guys!
I would take the trade. Trying to sell stuff on craigslist or eBay is such a pain. But that is me and I was desperate for the note. I had my skyrocket + $200 cash on my end on craigslist looking for a trade. So if you are impatient and don't mind taking a little hit go for it. The note is an amazing device. I also have an iconia and I have not used it in a week.
However if you are asking here that would indicate some trepidation on your behalf. Trust your gut.
I would take the trade + $50-$100 cash back from the guy who has the Galaxy Note
if it were me....i would not do it.
he is winning either way you look at it. the Rocket is a great device in its own right......plus a tablet?
sell one or both and see where it leaves you. at&t has the note 649 right. if anything trade the rocket to him plus a little cash and keep the tab or vise versa
thats my OP
700? There's one in marketplace right now for 550 shipped. They're going to be on the market for about that much for awhile..your choice ...easy deal for trade or sell your devices for what they're worth and pocket 150.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
I came from the Skyrocket and dont regret it at all. Probably biggest decision is how much will you miss a full tablet. I would say he is making out a little ahead and may be able to talk him into 50 dollars or so but if its what you really want its worth it IMHO.

He still has an iPad, and from what he says he uses his devices for, the iPad more than fulfills the 'full tablet' requirement. No, it isn't an android tablet, but the iPad still surfs the web well, apart from flash.
i would tell him the skyrocket or the acer iconia and $100 for his Galaxy note - if he says no then tell him to go F** himself.
Good luck
I more or less did this exact thing, since I wasn't eligible for an upgrade on the Note. I sold my SR and a Toshiba Thrive on ebay for about $680. But then you take into account Ebay fees and then Paypal fees and you're out almost $100. So the offer is not terrible really, if you wanted a Note anyways.
My Samsung Galaxy Note™ is smarter than your Honor Student.

Too much driving from Florida.
I wasn't serious anyway. You'll end up losing out on the deal if you trade with the guy. Try to sell them separately and you'll come out even. The Skyrocket should get you $300 on Craigslist easy. That alone should be enough to pick up the Note from him and you get to keep the rocket and the tab

I assumed as much Just figured I'd call your bluff.
After looking around craigslist and ebay I could probably break even with enough money to buy the note but then I go through the hassle of selling them and then being without a phone if the phone happens to sell before the tablet and I don't have the money for the note yet.
It basically comes down to whether or not I really want the note. I've been to AT&T twice to play with it and like the phone but that one wasn't rooted, OCed, or running a custom ROM. I know it has to be faster than the one they have on the floor.
So far I've seen comments that people have switched from the skyrocket to the note and don't regret it. I'd be curious if there is anyone who does?
I had two skyrockets with in a two week period and both developed problems and were returned to AT&T, I told them to keep the skyrocket and I would pay the difference for the white note and I think that the Note is a much better phone than the skyrocket!!! It is a great phone and a even better tablet, I have not touched mt Galaxy tab since I got my note.
I have a deal pending on my SR for $350 shipped and the Iconia 16gb A500 will probably get you $250 so that's $600 from you. If you pay the paypal fee and shipping like I am, I'm only really getting about $310 for the SR. A NIB Note is getting about $550 so it's really more a question of...Do you feel like you are losing out or getting what you want? I have the Transformer Prime running CM9 with a case and I hardly use it. My phone is what I spend most of my time on.
First, thanks to everyone for posting about the differences between the OG and the SR. Because of the 1.5 vs. 1.2, I assumed the SR was better. But after more research, and reading what all of you posted, I decided the obvious choice was the OG!
Anyway, so as a Premiere member of AT&T upgrading a 2nd line on a family plan, I could not find the OG as being available to me at all, not refurb at $10 nor new at $100. Got tired of waiting for AT&T to make it available to me, so I went to the Sam's Club website. I did check there yesterday, however, I don't remember seeing today's pricing of $48.88, I recall it being above $100. Anyway, I am not sure how long they would have this pricing, but the lady I spoke to did tell me that the free overnight FedEx shipping is today only. If you order it by 3 pm, it will ship today and FedEx does deliver on Good Friday, so you should get it tomorrow. Otherwise, you may need to wait until next week to receive it.
I don't know how the AT&T website looks on your end, but I tried going in as a new user on the AT&T website and the OG seems to be in limited availability, if even available at all, right now. I presume they are trying to force people to get the SR, but I don't know. This Sam's Club deal gives you another option. And, a BRAND NEW phone with full one-year warranty and free shipping all for $49 is a deal! I snagged one just a bit ago and I am SO excited.

Good choice my man .
Had my i777 since the day they were released (paid $200 - a great deal even at that price), and my wife has been oggling it since it came out of the box. Her upgrade popped in as available today on AT&T's site when I paid the bill, so I went ahead and got one at this price! She's really excited to have the awesome powerhouse of a phone coming via overnight shipping. Thanks OP!

Samsung is now offering a trade in for older phones after you buy a new samsung galaxy and send your old one in with a receipt.
http://www.samsungupgrade.com
I777 is quoted for $140
Which makes sense considering u can sell one in eBay for between 200-300.....
For those who don't wanna deal with selling to someone, its easier.
1. Buy S3 (Amazon preferred for $150)
2. Register IMEI's of trades and print pre-paid postage from http://www.samsungupgrade.com
3. Ship phone and receipt of new S3 (or Note) purchase
4. Receive check from Samsung in about 3 weeks (able to track status through website)
The I777 is going for $140 but you could also include up to 6 phones per redemption and they buy many manufacture's phones not just Samsung.
look's like it just went down but I already got mine through
Edit: Could also try http://www.samsungsafe2switch.com/
They should have clearly indidated as $140 for a dead, unpowered SGS2, $150 for SGS2 that runs stock ROM and $300 for SGS2 running custom ROMs such AOKP or CM9
I plan on unlocking my sgs2 and selling it on ebay. They look to go from 250-300

I believe target still has it (single/primary= $150) and Amazon (single= $150).
I called At&t and and pre-ordered from premiere to get activation waived and once I showed them it was $150 at target for the same line they offered $50 in credit on my bill.
For the last few days the S2 (I777) has shown 'out of stock' on the AT&T website and now is not showing up at all. Has anyone heard any noises about AT&T discontinuing this device?

If you go to your local at&t authorized dealer, they will probably be able to get one for you.
Here in CA you could only purchase online or call in to order. Yet they just had a $9.99 with contract that is how I picked up mine this time. First one I sold and than saw the special and said YES... I just went to look and yes nothing is there it was saying out of stock after the sale. Hmmmmmm
I know Sprint is selling there's for $50.00 with contract my co-worker just picked it up... But hey the l777 is still cooler and sexier...

You may have better luck searching at stores in a non-LTE market - the i777 went AWOL from all the stores as soon as the LTE network went live here in the SF bay area. They were heavily pushing the ****rocket, even though their own maps show that I live outside the planned LTE coverage area (by a few miles).

Strangely enough, Seattle does not have LTE yet.

In my area the i777 hasn't been in stock anywhere for atleast a month now. I was in the same boat when my wife's upgrade came up about a month ago. Nobody had this phone in stock, not even the att store (it was online, but price wasn't conducive). I finally just settled on getting her the i727 (Skyrocket). Its a really nice device. A little bulkier than the i777 but she's had a good experience with it. Just upgraded it to cm10 (she was running cm9 flawlessly since day 1) and its running great. I actually prefer her display
Originally we had planned to sell the Skyrocket and use that to just buy her an i777 outright. But the Skyrocket wound up being a good device. You could always go that route if you don't plan on buying insurance anyways.
I just ordered a new GS2 from ATT. The invoice order I received in my email referred to the GS2 as the "discontinued Samsung Galaxy S(TM) II"
Business strategy to force users to migrate to the Galaxy S3.....instead the Galaxy S2 still is a actual phone...
Go to WalMart they got crazy deals on the S2, if I were u go hunt one now they'll be gone out of stock before you know it!
Thanks to all who replied. It is looking like there will be no more I777's. Buzzkill.
I guess the GT-I9100 will still be around but, of course, with no subsidized price from AT&T.
I just got my SG2 two days ago. When I called AT&T they told me places like radio shack, wal mart, and sams club would be must likely to have this phone. I got mine from sam's club for under $20. Just a thought for you

Walmart had a special about two month's ago for $ .10 for new or upgrade or even add a line. They sold out in less than twenty four hours I was told. Then I saw the $9.99 on ATT said okay gotta have it. Makes sense if ATT was trying to clear the stock for the Skyrocket and S3. Being it seems they are trying to only do LTE these days.
I am thrilled I got it though.
I am glad I got mine also. I have a HTC one x and the SG2. I am loving the root abilities on the SG2 and the ease of rotting it

Yea man, Walmart is definitely the spot to check out. I picked up mine and my fiancés GSII'S for 10 cents apiece!
