Anyone else getting this when it comes to Three UK?
Anyone know when they will release it?
How much do they charge for early termination of existing contract?
Im on 3 but I'm buying it Sim free. They will charge you the full amount for each month remaining on your contract. Theres really no point in terminating contract as you will just have to pay this amount upfront, you may just as well take out a second one.

They will charge the full amount minus 20% as you cannot be charged VAT on services that haven't been rendered yet.
Or so I believe
Like the others have said, get it sim free - £610 from clove.co.uk with free goodies!!
then get a rolling contract sim - three's SIM ultra pack for £15 is good enough for me, Unlimited texts, Unlimited internet, 1500 talk time. (£360 over 2 years, plus the phone from clove, that is £960 for 2 years total
if you went on contract with the phone, you would be tied up with it for 2 years or so, at approx £50-60 p/month maybe a £60 deposit for the phone = very close to £1500
do the math, it works out better in the long run if you get sim free phone and sim only plan.
I would sell the goodies and my existing S3 to bring the price of the phone down to around £250
It's £600 now on Clove
Ignore that, was reading an old blog post. Is still £612

Oh don't forget to purchase this through quidco!!! £60 approx cashback. I do it every year.
If you already have a contract with them you can cancel it and convert it to a pay as you go sim... You can them keep your old number and port it to the new contract.
Its a no brainer. You end up paying £10 a month for 2000min 5000texts and unlimited date..

I'm not to fussed about 4G. 3G speeds are fast enough for me, plus it's not available on my network yet, or area!
I got mine off ecell (3g version) on ebay for £500 delivered. Takes 7 days to deliver. Im getting 18+ meg download speeda anyway so no need for 4g. Ill have z ultra 2 before 4g is widespread/beneficial on three (first 4g roll out for three uk is in London and a couple of other big cities in December) this phone is so quick at everything youll only need 4g for downloading movies etc for offline use quickly.

The way I see it, I can tentatively get £180 for my existing phone and £150 for the goodies that Clove give with the phone.
That's £330. £610-£330= £280.
If I buy from mobicity it would be £520-£180= £340.
So I'd really be paying £60 more for the 3G version.
Wow, just looked at prices, looking like I would only get around £60 for the free Clove goodies on eBay! That puts the 4G at £370. So £30 more for the 4G.
Bit to much money for me right now
im going to wait till next week to see if the HTC One Max is announced and when itll be released, then choose between the 2

Probably when a newer and more attractive phone comes out...another month or two would be my guess for the corporate stores to drop the price to 250
You can get a good deal from best buy mobile, amazon, wirefly, etc. If you want to buy the phone from verizon when the price drops other better devices will be out and you're not going to be able to resist them.

Thanx. That was my guess too. But since nothing moved for almsot 2 months now, was doubting my instinct.
Will the entry of Droid 4 have any effect on the RaZr's prices?+ when is the Droid 4 coming anyways?
Also, what is the price in the USA right now? Somewhere it says 299$, somewhere else it says 730$...so how much does it cost?
299$ means only 13k in India, but it is sold for 34k...more than double...i wonder why?

Phones in the US sell at a discount when you sign a two year contract with the service provider it's not like in India. So 300 in contract is the price with contract through Verizon Wireless and 730 is without a contract. Some third party vendors will sell for cheaper though that's how a lot of us got the phone for .01 cent with a contract.

Hmmm...so does that mean you practically pay only the provider & not the manufacturers? I mean what would Motorola earn out of 0.1 Cent?
Anyways, just wanted to know if the 34,000 price tag is valid and when is the price dropping...my birthday comes in less than a month (23 Jan) and this looks like the best gift my lovely granny can give me, so was thinking of how much will it drop to?
Will it drop also or not?

Yes that's basically right the providers have contracts with the manufacturers for the phones and the providers usually lose money on the devices when they give them at a discount but they make much more money on the service so it's worth it to lock customers into a two year contract for service. I don't think anyone can really predict the exact moment the price will drop for you especially in India but I mean technology moves so fast these days I'd guess another month or two and you'll see a drop of 3000-5000 or so.

ReZound is 79.99 with an upgrade/2-yr agreement
Does anyone know if this is only online or is it also in-store...I'm planning on purchasing the phone tomorrow but the Verizon Store is far and the store is obviously closed by now (10:10pm here in South Carolina). Any help or quick response would be great! Thank you!
i believe it's online only as of now. it'll go back up in price soon, though.
Alright...dang...thanks though!
If you want the Rezound and have the contract the $79 is a great deal. I wouldn't be afraid of doing it online. When I ordered mine they even comped the shipping (I ended up having to fight for it after the fact but won the minor battle) but you can ask them on chat if there is anyway to get the shipping free. The process for activation is pretty easy. One thing to note - if you have a 4G phone that you are replacing it with - they will not send out the sim card automatically. But your local store has those and can fix most anything if things get messy.
I ordered mine online a few months ago when it was $50. Phone was here 19hrs later. Popped sim card in and away it went

Hah you guys are getting ripped off if you pay more than $.01 for it that's what I got mine for
The $0.01 deal doesn't exist now... glad you got the deal...
I upgraded my Son's phone to the Rezound yesterday.. $79 + $30 upgrade fee = $109 which you pay upfront. He will have the phone most likely Tuesday.
Will see how long it takes him to S-Off.... I got it 2nd try.

Got mine from Bestbuy the other day. They matched the $80 price that Verizon had. I got $100 for my Inc 2 trade in. I got $50 freedom upgrade. That means I got $80 in my pocket as I left.
I think I beat you AshtonTS.
Go to Best Buy and ask them to price match, sell the beats earbuds because they're garbage and you've paid $30-nothing for your brand new rezound!
eh i paid $250 for mine on launch day..should've been 300, but on the website it said 250 because of a loyalty discount (not new every two because i was using an annual up anyway, so it was a weird unmentioned discount..)
i go int he store, ask if they can match it..at first they say no, so i'm like "ok i'll just go somewhere else that will, or order it online"
then another guy comes over and is like, well wait, lets see what we can do...turns out they were able to match it lol so maybe you can try in a store
Here's a question:
Why do American carriers charge such obscene amounts for cell phones?
For example, I can get an HTC One X with 5000 any network text messages, 2000 any network minutes, 5000 additional minutes when calling those on the same carrier and unlimited data (truly unlimited) for the equivalent of about $50 per month with NO upfront cost for the device (it's free).
I've seen adverts in the US that still ask for an upfront fee for the very outdated HTC Inspire and price plans that are laughable.
Am I missing something?

They are greedy.
Because the United States is roughly 40 times the size of the UK. Carriers figure they have to cover more rural geography while improving speed to satisfy customers in urban areas, particularly Verizon. Then pass the costs onto us.
Glad I got to pay a penny up front for my phone, but this two year contract without unlimited data is a steep price in the long run.
You seriously don't pay anything for your phones over in London, and get cheaper prices? Holy hell.... we get hit hard here in America. :-( Always a few $100 everytime we want to upgrade, unless we can hit a great deal, and even then... buying the phones the cheapest part of the process. I pay nearly $230 a month for 2 phones. *sigh*
Hello fellow noters
I recently out of decided to sell my galaxy note to get the nexus 4 ( to use on simple mobile) and to my dismay the g-note i717 has a really really low resale value. From what I have seen on ebay and craigslist the average cost for a i717 is around the low 300s, which for me is bad, Very bad. If you take into account the money that paypal and ebay take for the commission of the sale you are left with 250 something. This probably has to do with the release of the note2 only 6 months later than the original note.
I'm not complaining because this is still a great device but the loss of value took me by surprise, but I will definitely think twice before getting another Samsung device close to its release date.
In conclusion my friends I would advice you that if you want a Samsung device wait 4-6 months and buy it out of contract for 1/2 the price and if you are planning on reselling it later take a deep breath before looking for the resale values.
IMHO I see the Nexus 4 as a Downgrade from the Galaxy Note 1...
NO SD CARD.
Non-Removeable Battery
Max 16 Gigs of Storage.. Max..
Smaller Screen....
But.. Enjoy
All android phones lose there value fast because theres a new better one every week. The reason something like iphone hold there value so long is because there is only 1 a yr.

I see it as a huge upgrade because
I don't need more than 16GB of storage because I don't put 50000 songs on my phone when I don't listen to them all anyways.
I don't really need to remove the battery ever, and it has better battery life than my note which is horribly awful.
It has android 4.2 official from the get go, and will get future android updates a week or so after announcement. Current note doesn't have official 4.1 yet, and 4.2 is out! And CM10 is still not stable. I'm so done waiting 6 months for an android update, especially with how awesome the changes have become.
Screen is a bit smaller yes, but it's higher PPI.
2GB of RAM is very necessary for anyone who is a power user. I constantly have to reload apps.
Quad core krait is awesome and should never lag. note1 lags often.
It doesn't have LTE which does actually suck but will be better for battery life and HSPA 42 in Canada is pretty good
And it's $350!
You could argue the Note2 is a better phone than the nexus4 and in many ways it is, but I still think getting android updates is more important for me. And the price is great.
I'll be selling my note1 for $300 next week. It's lower than I'd like but allows me to upgrade to the nexus4 for very cheap!
Sound Like They're Getting Your Money.
I"ll Keep My Note *1* And My $30.00 A Month T-Mo Plan And Jamie's ParanoidAndroid JellyBean Rom All Day Long Over A Phone That Won't Allow Me To Expand My Memory Forcing Me To "The Cloud" And Not Even Allowing Me Access To My Phone's Battery Making Me A *Slave* To A Charging Outlet...
Enjoy Your Nexus 4....
The main reason I'm switching is because even with the blaze radios my speeds are very very slow. I am going to miss the spen, and my 32 gb sd card but due to the lack of support from Sammy to their devices and the low resale value I refuse to spend 700$ on a note 2.
The reason for this post is to tell you guys to get prepared for the loss of value when you try to upgrade from the note.

I haven't sold it yet and I'm not complaining, I love this thing. I don't really mind if the nexus loses value because it only costs 350$, but that is another topic.
the Note does have a low resale value if you take in to account that it used to cost around 700$ and now you have to negotiate with someone to barely get half of your investment. Samsung products do devaluate quite fast because they flood the market with their phones, release new version every 6 months and they give retailers the option to sell the phone at the price they want. I got an S3 four months ago for 615 and I went to the same store today and saw it for 500. There is nothing bad with that, if you use it to your advantage and wait a while to get a great product for 2/3 of the its first retail price.

How do you figure it is triple? I have been on At&t since 1994. Not going to change. Have 5 lines with them. Always had great service. It would make no.sense not to get it subsidized for me. Going to to pay same price for service whether off or on contract.
from a galaxy far far away....
The triple is for the overpaying the service (I used to pay 120 more or less monthly on att for the past 5 years now I pay 50 everything unlimited) and if att works for you awesome, but all of this talk about subsidizing strays from the fact that the note devaluates pretty fast.
I've never seen a phone hold value...Technology is constanly upgraded and replacing other models every month..Just the way it is..Computers are worth half as less in about 3 months as well...
Ello mate!
Honestly if you want to sell your note then that's perfectly fine. You don't need to justify your decision to sell to the people on this forum because what is it to them if you sell or keep? Lol I don't know why people get butt hurt over it when it has nothing to do with them. Will they be using the phone or is it for you? Also don't let people's opinions discourage you. The nexus 4 is awesome and I want to get one as well....note is great but i have decided it's just too big for me. I am a very active person and it is actually getting in the way rather than simplifying my life. Can't go running with it. Can't take it to the gym..nope! Can't walk around the gym with the note in my gym shorts lol. I don't want to shell out additional money for another mp3 player.
I agree with you on the resale value. I put mine up on Craigslist for 430 and got so many low ball offers it's ridiculous. I am just going to keep it now ... meh.
I am buying a Note II this week, but only because my corp plan lets me it it for $200. The Spousal Unit would never allow a $750 + tax phone purchase in this house.
If I get $300 for the Note I then I am happy, since it lets me purchase the next upgrade for next to nothing.
That said, I am thinking of holding on to the Note I until December when the official JB comes out. The Note I does lag on stock rom a bit (never tried the custom JB ones), and I want to be able to sell it to non-XDA folks with full S-pen support. I am thinking that the Note I stock experience will be much better in December, and that if I show it to a couple of people I know they will be happier with it then. If an offer comes by before then, I'll let it go at that time I suppose.
My brother just sold his Note for $300 to a guy in Sudbury. He was a bit disappointed as well.
I told him it's a niche phone with low demand in a small market.

Read the important part in red which you missed. If you have ONE LINE, non-contract makes sense in some cases. If you have more than one, nope.
As for the OP's whinge, who cares, everything that isn't a "durable product" devalues fast, think about how many THOUSANDS your car devalues the second it's "used".

100% true! the nexus 4 will be worth nothing as Google drops its price, and I sold one of my skyrockets for 350 on Craig's list so I'd sell my note 1 for $400 up, and I'm in Fl too. Its all about the condition of the phone. If your note is mint like mine you'll sell it for $400 cause people will rather pay $400 for perfect condition than $300 for some old scratched up junk. In 6 mo. Your $350 nexus will be worth $199 or less cause its used. How's that for devaluation.

Well that and Apple sells all their hardware at a high margin keeping the prices high at retail.
Please use this thread to discuss devices other than and any comparisons with other devices on or about the Note III in this thread and any other off-topic issues that are not needing a new thread.
Post with respect, this is a helpful community, hope we all learn from this stuff in here.
Was the only customer in my local Sprint store this morning. They took over an hour because they were having problems with the new Note 3 and new One Up program. Got it back at home though now. Absolutely LOVE it!!!!!
Good luck to everyone getting it this morning! If you're also using the One Up program then be prepared to wait. They said no one else had been able to do it yet. I was thrilled that they were for me. I was willing to wait all day if I had to though! Lol

My experience was not that bad considering I did a number swap with my girlfriend. Essentially she got my S3and I took her EVO 3D to do the One up. I did the number swap Friday the 4th so I actually couldn't do the One up til the next day. Went in at 9 was out of the store before 9:15. Compared to my S3 the N3 is a beast all its own and I love it.

Hi, I'm thorn between the Note 3 and the Mega. I know the Note 3 has a faster processor, more memory, ram and better screen resolution. currently I have the Note 2. I need the biggest screen I can get. don't use the Spen too much so no need of it. Anyone have tested the Mega?
A heads-up that Amazon just got the black model in stock -- I got an email saying that my earlier order has shipped, and it shows 2 more in stock currently. http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Galaxy-Note-Black-Sprint/dp/B00FJ8WBJG/ref=pd_sim_sbs_cps_1
Price is $299.99 for an upgrade, and they don't charge tax to most states (including IL), plus my Chase Freedom card is offering 5% cashback from Amazon purchases this quarter... so my bottom line is $285... pretty good, I'd say.

Well shoot, I see that the upgrade price is now $249.99! I'm chatting with customer service now to see if I can get a credit.

My order has been changed to reflect the new price! FYI, amazon's price match policy on cell phone purchases - http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html/?nodeId=201077510

At the link I pasted. Choose individual or family account, and the option "I have a Sprint account and want to upgrade my current device to this one" gives a $249.99 price either way. Are you seeing something different?

I would like to know as well. It would be nice to get some of my money back.
Just a heads up to anyone considering moving from the HTC One to this phone should do it. I loved the speakers on the One but the battery life, screen size, and expandable storage are completely worth the switch. I'm really loving this phone and I use the stylus and S-Notes way more than I ever thought I would.

I just ordered it through Amazon online. I chose a random plan and called Sprint to activate it and keep my same plan before turning it on. Worked like a champ on this phone and my previous phone two years ago.

Ok... I was eligible for an upgrade so I went to Amazon and picked the Note 3 for Sprint. Sero obviously isn't a plan Amazon offers, so I chose one of the plans they do offer and ordered the phone. The phone showed up the next day. Before turning it on, I called Sprint and said I bought a new phone and want to activate it, but stay on the same plan. They said no problem and activated it. Done.
Two years ago when I was eligible for an upgrade that was the method Amazon told me to use if I wanted a plan they didn't offer. Just in case it didn't work, I didn't turn on the phone until I had confirmation from Sprint it would work.

Note 3 vs HTC One Max?
I picked up my Note 3 on 10/5 and have 14 days to return. I'm thinking about checking out the HTC One Max but the non-removable battery may be a deal breaker for me.
Note 3:
My Cons:
Call quality is so bad
I rarely use the SPen (only to show off) so it's useless
hardware power button moves around alot (super minor)
WatchON and My Magazines sometimes pops up with it not responding (I don't use them)
My Pros:
Screensize/resolution is AMAZING (I came from an S2 Lol)
Battery life: WOW. I stream Pandora all day, utube, txt/emails, and I can still get about 24 hr usage with my HEAVY use.
SD Card slot
Removable battery: Awesome for traveling
Charging: WOW. charges from 0-100 in about 2 hours and 30m
HTC One Max(rumored specs) :
My Cons:
Battery: Non-removable battery???? May be a deal breaker for me.
Size: It was looking to be 5.9 view-able but now they think it will be the same 5.7 as our note 3? The phys size looks like it might be half an inch or so bigger then the Note 3. Will be disappointed if the view-able screen is 5.7 instead of 5.9.
My Pros:
If screen-size will be 5.9, this will put me one step closer on making me want to switch.
Similar battery life as the note 3
SPEAKERS!!! I'm a media person, and stereo/front speakers might push me over the top to switch.
Just minor things that I've though about. Please let me know of your thoughts!
10/18 will be the last day I will be able to undo my note 3 purchase with no penalties (besides the $35 restocking fee). I think the HTC One Max will come out on 10/15 as rumored so I'll be trying it in store to get a better feel of which phone suits me best.
How were you able to retain your sero?

Once he physically got the phone, he called and just activated the phone on his current plan, which is a SERO.
WTF is a sero

Are you sure??? The Graphite 64GB still shows up for me though.
Secondly, was your CC charged? Mine has not been yet.
Yeah it was greyed out for me and when refreshed, closed browser it did not return for purchase just said join waitlist... So I switched over to aluminium and it worked as I said I don't really mind as it will be in a otterbox style case anyway... As for cc I used a debit card so it listed the trans as pending.. Had to wait till the temp hold was released and I could repurchase.. The card declined a few trys and on looking at bank it was pending for a few minutes

Ok. Thanks for the information mate.
Now the wait begins
@prgopala
Yeah listed as shipping on November 2, same as the US I believe for the 6p so good to see we got something on time even if it is the remaining unsold devices the initial release countries lol

Yes. It will be great if we get the phone at the same time as other countries even though it was listed just now.
Ridiculous pricing though. The 6p is cheaper than the nexus 6 was in the states. And we still pay more than last year. I think I'll skip this year. My n6 is still mint, so I might as well keep it some more.
Just so you guys know, the nexus 6p is for $744 with a $20 plan - no contract on virgin.
Im getting this because stuff paying the $900 aud price gouge.

virgin's coverage is garbage, telstra i read is not really interested in nexus devices and i have had a terrible time with optus in the past.. leaves not much choice for some. Replacing a tired 2013 Note 3 thats over 2 years old. If on the other hand, I bought the N6 last year, which i had planned to do i probably would have kept it, i like the size and the device plus paying for new premium device each year is not within budget
You can get the n6 cheap now on the google store.

That's actually a great deal. 32gb only, but still $200 cheaper than buying from google. Nice find.

[INDEX] Huawei Nexus 6P
i just checked virgin mobile and indeed they are selling the N6P/32gb/black for $744, just the phone, for existing customers.
no other option for phone color and memory.
still a good deal if you're with them, stuff paying $899 for a nexus device...

I highly doubt it, the carriers don't actually consider prepaid users as customers.
With virgin, what you can do is sign up for a sim only plan, get it set up and working, then use your account to order this handset outright @ $744, then if u want, cancel the virgin account after 1 month.

You just sign up with virgin on a sim only plan, pay the money for the device & $20 for the first month's plan & cancel straight away in store. No more virgin bs & n6p in hand. Laughing. F u google. Why no love? We're a lovable bunch aren't we?
Am stumped on what to do. I want the N6P 64g and only Vodafone's doing a plan for $75 bucks a month. The thing is I've been with Optus for over 25 yrs and be hesitant to leave them over voda.
Is Vodafone any good these days?
Half the reason am considering it is cause with the online deal you get a case,headset and huawei talkband b2 worth $229 alone.
Is it worth the switch guys?

Anyone have any info when the 128GB versions may be released?

I've heard Vodafone definitely has improved from its fiasco a few years ago. It is now more or less decent. Unfortunately, that is still no indication whether or not Vodafone is any good for you. The best way to go about still is to get a Vodafone sim and to try it out at your usual locations eg. home, work, frequent places.

I checked coverage for my area and it says 4G but until I try as you said I may not know. Everyone I know is on optus and been with them so long. Optus has a 32g version but don't know if that's going to be enough storage.
