I just saw this pop up earlier this afternoon: http://www.wirefly.com/product/veri...refly_Google&gclid=CMmSwZniz7MCFUid4AodAmsAIw
It says for new Verizon accounts only. I don't know how long this will last. Think for Black Friday there will be deals to be had for the phone?
damn you beat me to it. but yeah, really good deal!
I read somewhere that best buy will have 20% off cell phone purchases but I'll be damned if I'm going to wait in line for 2 days to save $40...

Yeah, I hear ya. As with the previous few Black Friday deals for me, it'll all be done with a click of the mouse and that's it.
Man, I hope they keep it at this price.. I have 3 other lines I'll be bringing over to VZW if the DNA turns out to be as good as they say.. (I'm switching to VZW anyhow, not just for the DNA) :silly:
Wirefly would let me create the pre-order. But, VZW configrmed that I am not eligible for an upgrade until February.
Then, the fine print for Wirefly said that if for any reason the service is not maintained for 181 days, or the service is fraudulently added, etc, they will charge an additional $400 per smartphone.
I figured that this was just yet another way for VZW to screw me over, so I bailed.
Best thing i can do is vote with my dollars and take revenue away from Verizon ASAP.

I just pre-ordered mine through VZW and got 50 dollars off (149.00) for signing a new contract. Though there was a 30 dollar upgrade fee and 11 dollars tax. Came out to 191.XX and I'm selling my Rezound for 200! Good deal! xD
Just ordered mine through my available upgrade, no tax and did overnight shipping. Came out to 169.99
Does anyone know of any current deals going on for the DNA. I was hoping to wait for Amazonwireless to put it on sale for a .01 like they did the rezound but no luck so far :/
Hey
hello im a new member
I ordered mine from Wirefly as well, but for $129.99 with free overnight shipping.
$20 coupon code: TB20 or RETAILMENOT20
Call them and tell them the coupon was for $20 off AND a free overnight shipping
Profit
So far I have bought 3 DNA's using wirefly. For my girlfriend, her mother, and myself. Of course I end up getting the one with light leaking through the screen from the menu key light. Looks like a light/dead pixel but its much larger than a pixel would be on this screen and only visible when the menu keys light up. Customer service has been very good, they are going to ship me a new one and once I get it and set it up I can ship the other one back.
I used WIREFLYBLUE83 coupon code and got a free bluetooth.

So, I plan on getting an extended battery once Verizon ships me a new HTC Rezound (due to speaker & overheating problems) and I was curious about where you got your extended battery, and the price you paid for it?
Well, I took a trip to Verizon today and was told that they didn't have any in stock and I would have to order it for 79.99. Obviously, I know there has to be cheaper.
So guys, lets hear it, where did you get your Battery + Back, and at what price?
I bought mine right from Verizon, they where on sale for $30 each (I bought three)

yep, got the same price at verizon. They didn't have any out front, matter of fact, none of the rezound accessories were outfront...
Price was 59.99, rang up 29.99, was told that happens all the time. I asked how long the sale would be going on and they thought until at least the end of the month.

I went and got the extended battery today and they told me the sale was over, it rang up at 49.99. Did a bundle deal and paid 42 after tax. I did take care of my overheating problem though. Used to hit 127 degrees and lose 25% of battery playing shine runner. Now it didn't go over 111 and lost 8%. I'm happy.

I got mine for $30 yesterday when I got the phone. Now the phone weighs about what my Incredible did with the 3500 mAh battery.
Thus far...rather light usage since I really don't have "new phone syndrome" this time, I've barely budged the battery indicator with the phone up for four hours. The Incredible would be down below 85% under similar conditions.
First post...
I just picked up mine from the Verizon store today for $32 after taxes. Just gave them my number and they applied the discount...
I'm not seeing it on the site. Guess I'll just go to the store and check.

Yeah, just go in the store give them your number so they can look up your account and see if you have a discount. It may work on other accessories as well.
Picked mine up today. If you haven't done it yet, it sounds like tomorrow is your last chance.
KORM via the beast known as the Rezound.
Just grabbed one today myself...doesn't really add too much weight to the phone or anything....salesman said he thinks the sale ends tomorrow or the 3rd, so if you want one half price, you're running out of time.
im picking up a rezound tomorrow at verizon and selling my bionic. so the extended battery in the store is only $30?? the rezound after company discount is only $259 so i hope the battery is only $30!
Ya I went on the 31st and at first he's like wow its 60 bucks so I'm like whatever ill take it -_- then he said he was going to try to get me I discount and he asked if I want 2 for 1 so I obviously I said sure, and I thought, well that's better than 1 for 1 and then he finally asked if I want one for 30 and I was so happy. I batteries amazing by the way

The Rezound is now $199 online at VZW.com. I wonder if they will honor our "worry free" period and give us the difference back?
I upgraded to the GNEX and was told I had to the 15th to return it. I did return for a $35 restocking fee, then go the Rezound. Can I still get $100 credited? What should I say to the CSR, I have a feeling that aren't going to give in easily?
They must have a lot in stock, surplus or b/c of the sales decline in HTC.
EDIT: Just got off the phone with the rep, he credited my acct $100 of my next bill. I don't know if thats because I had until Jan 15th until my "worry free" grace period was up or if they will honor everyone? I would try it though, he didn't give me any problems when I asked for it. He actually said he had no idea there was a price drop.
They usually do if you buy it within 30 days, so it wouldn't hurt to try and post your results. Good luck

Tell them you bought the phone for the $299 and now its on sale. I did that with the thunderbolt they sent me letter with $50 dollars off and the price also dropped a $100 so they gave me $150 off three weeks later.

Nothing exceptional. I just explained I purchased it on Thursday online, and noticed that the price dropped $100 today. I said, "Can I get a credit applied, or do I need to refuse delivery and reorder", but I doubt it's even necessary to say that.
Just ask for the credit. There won't be a problem with timing of a few days.

Worked for me, first try. All he did was call the store to confirm the price and credited me the money on my next bill. He didn't give me any problems, all I said was I ordered the phone for $299 and I saw $100 price drop.
I just got off the phone with Verizon. I have to wait until I accept the delivery and activate the new phone before they can issue me a credit.
FYI, Verizon offers a 14 day price guarantee (that's what the rep told me on the phone), So if you ordered yours within the last 14 days, call in and get your money!
If I bought my phone at the Verizon store do you guys think they will honor the 100?
Sent from my HTC Rezound!
Rep I just spoke with said they only honor price changes up to 15 days after purchase. I asked about the people who bought it during the holiday return period and she said no. I was nice to her, and she was nice back, incase anyone is curious how the convo went.
Rep said the credit is automatic but she did notate my account.
Good call. I got my phone new years day and they had no problem crediting my account. Good looking out.

Now... I'm waiting for it to be $99
I have always been an early adopter and paid full price when things come out. My current Droid Incredible works fine for what I use it for so I will just wait a bit. Figure another month perhaps and $99 will be the new price. Keep the other $200 I saved for other toys.

I actually got my rezound for a penny from amazon.
There must be a new flagship from HTC coming to VZ. I meant wth?
If it matters, I bought my Rezound on December 9th and Verizon credited my account $100 today. I called 611, had to sit on hold for a while, but I'm $100 richer now!
My cheapest long term option right now is to buy a Note straight up. I haven't seen any place under VZW right now. I wanted to get one for around 600. Most of the ones on ebay are going for more than original price right now.
Any suggestions for is VZW price of 699 the lowest price?
VZW price is the lowest I have found. I am going to buy it at Best Buy though so I can put it on my Best Buy CC and get 18 months no interest.

Search this forum and you will find a few threads already but I would say Amazon wireless is the cheapest but it is out of stock as of now... Tax depends on your state of course.
Best buy will pm vzw, then open a cc account...they will knock $20 off, then if you opt to pay the full amount when bill comes in, they take 4% off. Not a bad deal.
I purchased mine at BB and they PMed VZW. Also 18 months no interest or 4% rewards points. I just checked Amazon and they have it in stock for 644.99 and free shipping

That's the internation version that's not compatible with Verizon.
For the OP, keep an eye on Craigslist. Saw one the other day one day old with body skins for $600 but warranty is questionable when buying second hand.

Same here... I started with a 16gb S3 from Craigslist and had that swapped out about 3 times and then I got a 32gb from craigslist and swapped that one out once so as long as you keep the insurance on your account than I think you are okay... They never questioned me about any receipts or asked me where I purchased my device from. :good:
I got one of craigslist for $500 on Saturday. I'd been watching them on ebay when I found this one. There are a couple more in my area for around that price.

Best Buy Purchase
Hi everyone,
I see people have purchased their Note II through Best Buy using some 18 month 0% financing. Does this mean that you can pay installments of the full retail price of the phone?
My mom's current VZW plan that I am on only has one basic phone on it in which I plan to transfer someones upgrade on it to get the Note II. But if Best Buy does the installment payments, I'm going to figure out which is cheaper to purchase and which is cheaper to upgrade between the Note II and the iPhone 5, which my sister really wants.
Looking forward to advice/suggestions.
Thanks,

Yes you can make a min payment of $25.00 a month and as long as you pay it before the 18 months are up you pay no interest. Just don't be even a day late or BB will start charging you interest and you lose the 0 % financing. Also as of today you have to spend a min of $429.00

Well you'll definitely have to pay $429.00+ if you're going for either phone at retail value, lol.
Love using Amazon Wireless.. no tax in my state, 2day free shipping and 30 day return policy on the phone!... even returned my SGS3 on the 30th day and no problems what so ever
I bought mine off of craigslist for $500. Just gotta watch the listings and haggle with people. Always check the ESN before accepting any device. Just call Verizon tech support and they take care of it no questions asked. I swap phones every couple months or so and my TEP has remained in tact, no questions asked. I carried my TEP over from a Verizon Galaxy Nexus, an iPhone 5 and now to my Note 2.
Best Buy Financing
Just read up on the 18 month financing if making a purchase from Best Buy...You need a Best Buy Reward Zone credit card. I guess that's not an option anymore.

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.

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 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.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
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?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
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.

This is interesting. I might have to stop by to confirm they can do this.

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