outright ? meaning you paid full retail price ?
if so then i would either keep it and wait OR take it back and go elsewhere to buy the phone... keep in mind you might get hit with a restocking fee

What are some things that everybody is doing to get ready for your new phone? Easiest way to transfer contacts, music, etc? Any other thing that you are setting up for the Note?

Contacts - already have them all in Google Contacts - will sync as soon as I add my account to the phone.
Music - Google Music - see above.
Angrybirdsbackup Free
Run backups in various apps - DGT GTD, Profiles, TiBu, etc.
Wrote down all my free apps from Android Market. (Paid apps all show up when you sign in with your Gmail address. All Amazon apps show up when you log in.)
Backup my Captivate's internal SD to my PC.
Biggest thing is backing up game data, wherever it's saved.
Settings - no big deal. Gonna go through them all anyway, starting from scratch - no backups needed.

I was able to see the full price the moment it went on pre-order. I got mines for $650 + tax. I was going to order it through Best Buy, but it was $750, and I didn't want to pay $100 more and a hefty tax.

I upgraded off the website and it only cost me $299. I dont believe I was available for an upgrade though. Who knows.

Htc one only $169.00 on walmart

http://wireless.walmart.com/content/finder/?oem=208&referringdomain=wm&oflag=specialoffer
I posted this on the costco page. Its a good deal but we don't know their supplies so it could be a while. It just says it will ship when available.
Last year Walmart had the GS2 (i777) in stock on release day. Incidentally I'll buy there on the 5/3 when my upgrade eligibility returns.
Just make sure to stop by an AT&T store after and have someone check your account if you're trying to keep unlimited data.

just as a heads up if you call at&t they will probably allow you to upgrade early. My upgrade was not available until May 8th and they told me I can upgrade. You will have to wait until Friday when the phone is released because they can't do preorders
Wal-Mart associate here. Good luck getting any new release phone. They are shipped my manufacturer at will and we cannot order them. Also replenishable stock on contract phones is almost non existant. I would have purchased mine from my employer early but the stock is just not there and never is. Wait a few weeks.

How can they offer it for cheaper? Everybody makes it sound like this is exactly like signing up at an AT&T store. But for cheaper. At Walmart.

Because they get incentives from carriers for new contracts and renewals which they can pass on in the form of device discounts.
Does Walmart charge your card at the time of purchase or when it ships?
Also, do you think this price will be available in store on Friday?

where to buy at&t version without contract?other than at&t website

Hi every one , i wanna buy the at&t htc one without contract but i can't order through at&t because i don't have a SSN , BestBuy has it way overpriced at 700$ , where else can i get it for 600$ without needing a SSN or a contract?

Good luck getting AT&T to unlock it, too. I have been trying for weeks. They refuse, have given me a runaround, have tried everything they can from saying it's a contract phone (it's not I got in a giveaway) to it's not eligible for unlock, to I have to wait til my contract is over... My contract was on an Inspire and ends in August. They're liars and thieves at AT&T.

Craigslist is only as good as the people in your area. I think he's trying to order it online only anyways so GL to the OP
thx guys for all the replies, but to get everything clear , i am not living in USA, i wanna buy it online as gift for a friend in USA, i can get it on walmart but they are asking for 650$, a 50$ premium over at&t unactivated price , amazon put it for 700$(although sprint version is ther for 550$), i can't buy unlocked from htc website as they require a USA issued credit card. and expansys is very expensive
Besides ebay. Walmart is your best bet.
thx all, i think i will buy through walmart, does anyone know how long does it take to be delivered? and can i choose a certain date for delivery?
If you run into any trouble, let me know. I keep going back and forth on whether I'm going to keep the Developer Edition of my AT&T variant.

Do you lose grandfathered unlimited on Verizon when your next contract is up

Sorry , if this has been answered before. I haven't worried about losing my unlimited data because I was happy on my Rezound. Now, though I am really looking at one of the newer handsets coming out this fall. I realize if I subsidize the phone I will be forced to give up my unlimited , but I notice my contract is up in December . Will I be forced out of unlimited in December even if I choose not to upgrade my phone ? If so I might as well take a subsidized phone otherwise I lose plan regardless. Just wondering if anyone has gone through this process recently.
Thank you for any responses.
You dont lose your unlimited unless you make some types of changes to your current plan, or you upgrade without buying your new phone outright. You can also keep your current plan if you have insurance on your phone and make a claim,upgrading that way.
Sent from my DROID3 using xda app-developers app
Like the post above don't make any changes to your plan and don't buy a new phone and sign a contract. Might wanna check out eBay or something for cheaper phone as new phones out right cost anywhere from 300-700 bucks.

If they no longer carry your phone, they will give you one of equal value when you gotyour phone If they have none with same specs. At least that is how I upgraded from my Inc to Spectrum then this Rezound.

extra $10 back if you bought from best buy
Thought this would be relevant here,
If you bought your phone in the last week or so from best buy, using the app "Ibotta" you can get $10 cash back. Because I already did it I can't look at the offer details such as dates or restrictions. But I bought my note 3 for $272 after taxes .(10% in silicon valley) and got my $10. Not much, but something for sure.
I was sad to find out Samsung stopped offering the Google play credits so went out searching for more. If anyone has anymore Samsung purchase deals let me know haha.
Just got the Sprint Note 3 from BB for $149. Was expecting it to be $199 as I saw over the weekend, but it is now on sale for $149. Galaxy Gear is also $50 off when purchased together.

If your upgrade eligible and your contracts up.....add a line and get it for the $149. Call sprint and cancel the line thats off contract then port your number over to the line you added. Then you can sell your original phone and youll probally break even or get more then the $149
