The price on Amazon has dropped to $229. Trying to decide if I should pull the trigger now or wait until it drops to $200.

Very true statement... I've progressively meditated away the temptation of buying the Note so far... But out of curiosity, has anyone gone out today & gotta price match @ this amazon price yet?
I called 611 on my phone to talk to Customer Service this past Saturday to tell them that Frys was selling the Note for $199 and they credited my account $100. I was just three days shy of my 30 day purchase date. All they asked me was when did i buy my phone. I didn't have to prove that the price had dropped.

I got mine at BB for 199.99 and this was with an upgrade. They price match to how much Fry's is selling them. But it wasn't that easy.
The first BB I went to didn't do it so I went to another BB and they tried checking Fry's website to see if they could find the ad. But finally after 2 hrs. I got my Note.
Funny story is that the BB that did price match had to send someone to pick up from the store that did not do the price match.
Thankgod Fry's had one store in Illinois. During their promotion I used it at local Best Buy..... 25.5 miles away or 0.5 miles over the BB distance limit.
Might be picking this baby up 2morrow... Price matching @ 229, $50 off from freedom choice, $5 certificate, and $100 dollar check I just found going through junk mail today dated from 2010 w/ no expiration date from Time Warner in my sectional's compartment chest(LOL!!) will cost me only $55 bucks.... Prolly game set match 2morrow....
Good looking out just got another fifty dollar credit totaling 100 bucks to my account.
Thanks for the heads up. My partner has been looking for the note and we almost pulled the trigger when it was 249.99 on Amazon.

I received my note from Amazon wireless on Friday last week. Setup is super easy. Just be sure you don't change your contract for 181 days or Amazon will charge you some ridiculous amount. The flexibility off ATT seems pretty good though. Go over your data for the month and they just charge for another gig at $10. I will tell you that I called after I ordered it and asked them to ship overnight as there was no option during the checkout to change shipping speed. They upgraded me for free. Really good service through Amazon. MAKE SURE YOU READ THE FINE PRINT THOUGH. You'll see what I mean about 181 days.

I was able to get the guys at Best Buy to agree to price match the $229 price, even though it was technically against their price matching policy. Combined with the $50 gift card deal I had, it was fantastic. I just hope I can do the same when my other line comes up for upgrade next month!

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!

$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!

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.
I see that Amazon has the Note for $250 (with 2 year commitment) - anyone know of a better price?
Thanks!
Jamie
I believe that's the best price by far. If you can wait for it to be processed and shipped, go with that. I ended up paying about $320 after taxes in store for mine, so you're saving about $70 through amazon.
With amazon you will have to pay $36 activation fee, so it's not that big of a savings. I still got mine from amazon, though.

Far and away the cheapest price is pay full retail. Sign up for month to month data/talk $45 a month straighttalk dot com. You will save about half a grand a year.

OP, depending on your taxes, Amazon might be the best deal. Best buy has it for 239, but they charge tax.
I purchased from BestBuy and had then price match to Amazon's $249.00 price. Then I used a $50.00 gift card from a promotion back during the super bowl I happened to sign up for and had been holding. $199.00 plus tax (on the price I paid, not the real cost of the phone like at the AT&T store) turned out to be a pretty good deal. They did tack on the activation fee. I call AT&T and after some discussion, they waived it.

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.

I contacted Best Buy (888#) and requested the $50 credit. I purchased my LG E970on 3/2/12 for $99 and was in the 15 day Price Match by one day. The rep put me on hold, came back, took down my info and said that I would get a call back letting me know the status of my credit. I was concerned that I would not hear back from BB and he said that I would get a return call within 48 hours. Needless to say, no call back so I called back and was told that BB no longer offers the Price Match on contracted cell phone as of 3/2/12. Great. I went back and read the small print details and yup, it does say that. Argh.
Going to go into store tomorrow and talk to a manager and push for the $50.00 Heck for $50.00 I would have returned the darn thing and bought it again. I can play their game too. I will add that I did not receive a call back as promised.

Interesting, I called AT&T to see about getting an early upgrade (March instead of May). I was told that they could only do 30 days early. My brother had a similar convo with them about a year ago. Seems like it's luck of the draw on who you actually get on the call.

I contacted the store that I purchased the phone from and the manager did issue me the $50 credit BUT ONLY because she didn't want an unhappy customer. She made sure to inform me that company police no longer offers price guarantee on cell phone.....yeah yeah yeah......
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?

You need to ship the phone back with the prepaid label to avoid restocking fee.
