beats the heck out of best buy's outrageous $700+tax
Radio Shack $400???
Radio Shack should be the best deal (off contract). They are selling it for $499 off the shelf. However, I am pretty sure you can use the 1st time Radio Shack "FourSquare" check-in 20% off deal to bring it down to $400 plus tax. I called my local store a week ago to verify that they would accept the coupon.

How does this discount work?? I will google it right now but if you know how it works, let us know. Thank you.
I just came from the sprint store... I went in there with every intention on dropping the $549 and keeping my Evo. But after playing with the phone for about 30 minutes honestly I just couldnt justify it. The speed was cool, the 3D was eh... but there just wasnt enough to make me feel like I needed to switch. And this is coming from someone that bought the original last year day one full retail. Plus I didnt really realize how much I dislike stock until I held my evo beside it and did a comparison of all the things I wont be able to install until HTC decides they want to unlock the bootloader. Ill probably get it at some point but my interest level dropped a lot after actually playing with it for a while.

And its actually $599 at radio shack. The $499 was a misprint and the stores here arent honoring that price.
thanks for the input, maybe i should go to a sprint store and actually play with it a little bit. So far radio shack had told me that the foursquare 20% off does not apply to wireless. Ill try a couple more radio shack to see if i get a different response.

Id advise it... the store I went to had 3 models on display and two Views. I mean dont get me wrong its a nice phone.. but not nice enough for me to feel the need to spend 500+ on it. Im on an advantage club line thats the only reason I was gonna do it but now ill probably just wait until whenever we can upgrade and get it. Ironically, I had sat down and was about to pay for it and all and even the chick that was ringing me up said it didnt make much sense and I agreed so I said id just wait. Supposedly we'll be able to upgrade Monday but if not I dont think ill be mad lol.
Just give it 3 weeks or so when full root is out..prices should drop a bit ( if you are okay with buying used)
I personally am waiting for full root then jump ship from the 4G
Radioshack does not honor any coupon on wireless phones.
Accessories yes, no phones
you might be right, we are all just in the hype of the "newest and baddest" that we forget a little logic and just go for it. I think Ill wait a little bit. I just got the nexus s and i love the phone. Its smooth and does everything i need it to and fast. I guess I'll wait for the meanwhile, I'm not going to dish out $500+, but i wont lie when i woke up this morning i was whilling to. Maybe ill just get a tablet for that money.

Speaking of tablets, the View was a lot smaller than I expected in person.
I have some lines without contract. Id buy one and sell for a bit less. Like 550 shipped if anyone wants one. Pm me. Already have one extra to sell.

I have a Dell Streak...even though it is running 2.2.2, I LOVE it.
I wanted to take a look at the SGS2 just to see if it was as good in person, as
it has been in the press.
Stopped by a blue shirt store (Best Buy), strolled around looking for it. Couldn't find it. Finally a drone asked me if I was looking for anything. Said, yes, but you don't have it. Told her and she said, "oh, we have them, we just didn't bother putting them out". LOL No display for the device, nothing. I said do you even have a non working one. Oh, I guess I have one behind the counter, but with the new iphone coming out....I just turned and walked away.
Best Buy has become such a joke. About all it is good for, is going into the
store to actually HOLD something in your hand, then buying it from Ebay or
Amazon for LESS.
Stopped by a corporate death star store and saw a FUNCTIONING one. Wow! Fast, smooth, BRIGHT. If it wasn't for the smaller 4.3" screen vs the 5" screen I have on the streak, I would have gotten one right then. If the Note comes to the shores before 2012, I'll get one, or just bite the bullet and get the SGS2.
Kind of hard going back to a smaller screen when you get use to a 5 incher.
Yeah Best Buy has gotten bad. I went to make a simple exchange of Infuse for Galaxy S II and left those crappy headphones home by mistake and she wouldn't let me exchange. There was another Best Buy on the way home, stopped in there and the guy didn't even ask about the headphones. They were sold out at 12:15 though so I had to get a return and go to AT&T to get the phone.
The pricing in there is ridiculous. They are butt raping people, 40 dollars for a 6 ft HDMI cord? Get out of here.

Boy you got that right!
Sometimes when I need a hard drive or something RIGHT NOW to fix a down piece of gear, I'll stop there to get it. Hearing the "lies" they tell people sometimes just makes me want to yell RUN! QUICK! Before you get ripped off!
My local Best Buy store got 2 in stock today for AT&T. 2?! Luckily, my regular AT&T store had plenty so I got one there. Slightly harder still was finding a screen protector. After 9 months out of contract I'm back, but it's all good.
You guys must be going to some shady best buys. The one i go to they know me by name and always know what im in for before i even ask for what i want. They also price matched AT&T for me this morning and gave me 10% off for my whole purchase because im a rewards member. Me and Best Buy are friends. lol

Both best buys near me got two each, and one of them is always being slammed by tour busses. I don't know why so many best buys are only getting 2 GS2s each but thankfully I got one of those two so I'm happy.

We got only small quantity of gs2 cause of at&t. We were told that they wanted them because of the extra add on packages and accessories. We are considered second to corporate att . That went over employee news. We can do something called a instant ship though. Which takes about 1 biz day. Cause we basicaly get it from a near att store. lol

Does the Best Buy package come with the HDMI adapter? My box doesn't have one but I read in a review that AT&T was including it free.

That's what the BB guy told me. He said he could get me one from another store, which I assumed was another BB. I asked him when would they get another shipment, and he said Thursday's is when the truck came in. I said thanks, then drove over to AT&T.
Best Buy can be a PAIN, I will readily admit that. However it can really depend on the service. I tend to get really good service at my local Best Buy. And since we recently bought a new home and upgraded out TV, fridge and washer Dryer, I had a BUNCH of reward zone points. So I pre ordered my GS II at BB. when I got there they where great, they returned my $50.00 pre order to my card. Price matched the "rumored" $148.88 Wal-Mart price, and did it all pretty dran quick too. My total OOP for the phone was $1.88. So while I can agree that in many cases BB isn't the best, currently I am a fan.
I have not had an issue with Best Buy. I had gotten my Nexus S there, now my SGS II and everything went smoothly. They even price matched WalMart for me.

Just a heads up, not all GameStops sell Tablets and because of that not all GameStops will be displaying and/or selling the Prime. If you go to GameStop you can use the tablet section to find locations that are actually tablet stores and they will most likely have the Prime for display. Hope that helps stop people from running around town looking to check one out only to be disappointed.
I understand it's not available at all Gamestop stores, I was just trying to see if anyone has played with one yet. I am stuck at work all day and haven't been able to go to one yet. So has anyone played with one, if so what are your thoughts?

Ok np, I just wanted to point that out, as this is the internet and some people may have read that and not be aware of the fact that not all locations carry them. I personally would but I honestly don't feel like driving to the nearest one which is about 20 miles just to check it out. I will be patient. There is another thread where someone purchased a unit from GameStop, so if they are receiving their units other retailers are as well so it's only a matter of time before they start shipping for pre-orders. I'm personally hoping my Newegg order ships this week.

I called my local ones that are listed and 2 out of 3 have it in stock. One of them already has them a full stock of the Asus in the store, but won't sell them until the 19th. Another store that didn't have the demo said they will be getting the demo plus the rest of there stock in by Thursday, but also won't be selling it till the 19th as well. I wonder how he was able to buy one right away. I think I might try and get one in store if mine doesn't ship by the 19th.
GameStop near me had one in stock.
I was the first one in the door when they opened.
The manager did not seem to know the one he had was a demo.
He sold it to me with a pickup date when it could be 'released'.
I was surprised he seemed clueless that it was a Demo only.
I would really rather have the 64GB version I have on pre-order but with all the turmoil over supply issues I decided to lock it in while I could. I can always sell it on Ebay if the 64GB comes in.
i went in a played with it but he woudnt sell me one

The gamestop 75miles away from me has a 32gb champagne gold (purple) one & believe me i have no problem making that drive & getting it in that color either lol.
gamestop related: i noticed they removed availability online for the prime as well as the games that came on the device.. that area is now blank.. wish there was more information on gamestop.com
So is this so called "purple" Prime ugly? because the color "purple" is a better fit for grandma or my mum...
So let me get this right.. I can walk into a gamestop (assuming they have the prime demo and stock..) And pay like $5 to reserve one that I can then pick up on the 19th? If so I may aswell just cancel my pre-order and not have to pay shipping and not have to wait an extra day fir it to get shipped...
Anyone have any information about this?

So only $5 needed to put down to reserve one? If so, I'm going to do that also asap..lol
So what about the looks of the purple? Is it all decepticon style or what? That is really good news that they are taking pre-orders in store.. If that means I can walk in on the 19th and pick up my decepticon prime then I may just have to do that ASAP!
i dont mind the purple.. just gonna get this... carbon fiber and screen protector. screen protector for smudge prevention ofcourse. no smudges for me!

I was looking to buy one of these tablets from Micro Center, but it seems that they have gone out of stock with them and removed them as a listing from their website (you can still get to the item if you google it for some reason, they didn't delete the actual page..). I saw that best buy has them in stock, but I was just wondering if any other stores have it in stock because there is no best buy close by but there is a micro center (odd, I know).
If anybody could help link me to some stores (not online) that have this item, that would help me out a lot.
Thanks!
Target supposedly has some in stock. They are in stock online. You can call your local store to see if you get lucky.

Wow,
That really sucks man. Guess it just wasn't meant to be just yet.
Just a heads up, I'm in Montreal
If you're looking to getting the prime, I walked in to the BB at Fairview Pointe-Claire to buy my Dock and they had 6 in stock on Saturday around noon.
They seem to be getting them on a regular basis every week around Friday.
I recommend you call on Thursday/Friday/Saturday morning to see if they have any.
They seem to receive their stock right before the week-end, because I picked up my first Prime from FS on Thursday two weeks before (also Pointe-Claire)
And just a heads up, not all store will carry it, due to it not being available in french so I was told by a FS store manager, so chose your store locations carefully, but Pointe-Claire BB and FS are your best bet in Montreal from my experience.
Thank you all for the help, but I ended getting a tf101 for
$350 at compusa. Im not using this device for hardcore graphics or anything so i figured a tegra 2 would suffice.

What's up everyone, made a new account but am familiar with the xda squad.
Anyways, I just placed an order yesterday (My birthday!) for the Sony Xperia ZU C6833 (Version suited for 4G LTE) from atgsm.com
It's based in New York and they sell other phones as well. I plan on using this with my T-Mobile account and their 4G LTE service. I received a call from them today saying they got a wrong shipment, they got the C6802 instead. The lady told me I had to wait another week or so for the new shipment to come in, in this case the C6833 (4G LTE)
Does anyone here have the C6833 already and is this normal for them to get wrong shipments and/or has the device simply JUST released? And if so where did you get it from? I'm sure I'm not being scammed as I've read about others buying the C6802 from atgsm.com so nothing to worry about there.
Thoughts and comments?
Thanks for your kind understanding!
Oh man..sorry to hear.
I almost pull the trigger with them last week. I emailed them and asked them if they have the c6833 in stock. They replied with a YES. But then i found a better deal on ebay $710 bases out of Texas. I checked their feedbacks and saw that 4 folks had already received their c6833 with no complaints. So i went with the Texas shop. Its coming Monday. I hope im getting the c6833.
I hope you will sort things out smoothly with yours. But i hate the fact that they lied. And also the wait.
Thanks bro appreciate the info, could you be kind to link me the ebay post if it's still available? I can still cancel my order. I already ordered a case and some screen protectors so I'll need the phone asap, it's a nightmare looking at a leather case without anything to put in it lol.

If you want, i can link you. You then can send them an offer them $710 with free shipping any colors. They might accept.

I want to keep the sony logo on the front. I just bought the full front and back screen protectors from Xtremeguard. I youtubed their products and they are awesome, especially for $6, the Spigen glass is too expensive and again..the wait. I also bought one of those thin flip cover from China. Im planning to purchase an OTG cable for reading thumbdrive directly to the phone. I was gonna pick up a magnetic dock charger, but too many bad reviews on it.. I will also buy the sbh52 bluetooth headset when it comes out.
Nice! Where can i find the cable to read USB drives directly? Does it read it just like a regular micro SD card or any other external storage device?
Also, do you think it's possible to have an HDMI output on the device or some sort of adapter so I can connect it to a projector or a tv? That'd be awesome!

Hey guys, my name is Jorge and im new to the forum. I ordered my C6833 from Negri Electronics last Friday and it came in on Wednesday with a little help from 2nd day shipping. First time ordering from them, but they were helpful every step of the way. One thing that annoyed me about Negri was their constant price decreases. The phone had went down in price twice before I had even received my phone!! I was given a price break refund so I cannot complain too much. Hopefully you get yours soon. Its a really fun phone. :good:

Thanks Jorge for your input!! I couldn't order from negrielectronics.com NOT because of their reputation, I've watched countless review videos on YouTube and most of them got their phones and supplies from them, but rather because of the price. I could always cancel my order if something happened to go wrong or if they just took too long, resting assured that my money is still safe as they only charge the credit card once they ship out.
Hopefully you can post up some pics of the phone and whatever accessories you'll put on the Xperia ZU! It really is one hell of a phone, I'm coming from an SG3 haha. Let me know how your service with them was and are you ready to root it and put a custom UI so you can maximize the screen and use it in tablet mode/phone mode at will?

aww man. I see what you mean. I got anxious to order since I had been waiting on it for months, so I just pulled the trigger. $100 dollars difference is quite a bit. I just checked and it is only 30$ more than atgsm.com price is currently, but im sure that will come down again in the next couple of days. I contacted Negri about a price match once again, so we shall see what they say.
I ordered the Incipio Feather case and chopped that up since they left out the magnetic charge port. Made a thread with pics in the ZU accessories section you wanted to check that out. other than that I am waiting on the tempered glass screen protector to come out. I too am coming from GS3, and theres no comparison on sonys UI and touchwiz. Sonys version of android just feels so much better IMO. But thats probably because I came from iphone before that.
I have very good experiences from AtGSM, I bought both the Xperia Z and the Z Ultra from them and that was by visiting the store itself. I like their product selection and that they got new devices in stock quickly, it just took a few days from that Sony started shipping the Ultras back in August before they received them.
So I can recommend the store. For those living in New York, it is actually worth to visit them since it is a different experience - the store is a small office actually. Not like a cellular store with demo devices etc, just this office with a store room at the back. They always show the device to you so you can check it out before taking the final decision.

Thanks man I appreciate the input! And that makes me feel a lot better,I order on Sept. 18 so in couple of days they SHOULD be having the C6833 in stock now. I couldn't wait for the US version I needed it now! Besides, the US and INT versions are both the same except for AT&T users, which I'm not (T-Mobile) and I should be able to connect to their 4G LTE speeds if I'm correct.
Thanks again, I'm based on the west coast o I don't think I'll be visiting their office anytime soon, but definitely I'll order there again if I need anything and they have it at a discounted price.
I just picked mine up from Overseas Electronics on Saturday for $760 after tax (I believe they have it in every color. I got mine in black). Since they're located in Chicago and I'm only an hour away, I just made the drive up to their shop and picked it up. All I can say is this thing's awesome, although I'll admit the battery issue needs to be addressed and the touchscreen on my device needs to be recalibrated. The manager also informed me that the new headset and smartwatch will be in stock this week, so I'll eventually get my hands on the SBH as well. Be sure to check them out though!

Fedex delivered the c6833 this morning. Magnetic charger cable and xtremeguard full screen protectors came also. Im good to go. Protector screen are on. Phone is rooted with latest firmware. All contacts, music, pictures, emails, etc transfered. Paid pge bill using this phone, went smooth, no lags. This phone is awesome. Waiting for my flip case. Gonna learn how to transfer all the heavy files to my 64gb sd card since the phone is rooted. Have fun guys.
PGE bill?

Wow man.. you look all ready and set! The magnetic transfer/charging cable is a must have although I'm not getting it just yet, I'll be alright wit the standard micro usb cable for now.
Mind I ask, what firmware do you have? And are you using something like CM because you transferred everything and all your info to your phone at once? I'm new to Sony and I'm not that familiar with it's rooting process, I for SURE don't wan a brick! Samsungs are more of my specialty but I need just some quick tips preferably from someone who already has done it. (I've seen the forums on here about rooting/troubleshooting as it's sometimes darn confusing!)
Thanks for the info on FedEx shipping out your phone though, hope you enjoy your device! I can't wait or mine, it's coming Friday!
