Just ordered mine. Best Buy nearby selling for $199 and local at&t store $149.
Got mine for $50 at best buy when it was on sale for $99 plus a free $50 gift card for renewing contract agreement and used towards the phone purchase. BEST deal I've ever gotten on a phone! Lovin the G2.

I was able to price match Amazon at Best Buy. Just got my VZ LG G2 yesterday. Loving it so far.
--Keith
Amazon now has it for $39 for a new line of service and $99 for an upgrade on VZW.
Got my G2 for free when I added a line online with Verizon from Bestbuy on 10/26. Best free phone ever!
Anyone know of any stores that sell these phones without charging tax on the full price of the phone? If I were to buy on Amazon as an upgrade, I'd have to pay $60 or so if taxes.

Wow, you guys down in the states get some amazing prices for phones on a plan. I think the best offer I've seen in Canada for the LG G2 is $150 locked on a plan and those plans usually cost from $70-$90/mo.
I ended up picking up my LG G2 for $379 + $40plan.

Yes AT&T charges a $36 activation fee on your next phone bill. I actually went online and went through their online chat representative and got it waived today.
I've not paid an activation fee since my first Android the GS2.

I noticed there wasn't a thread for this here. I wanted to post just in case someone is about to buy this phone. It's a great deal. I went to my local Sam's Club and confirmed the deal.
I want one but sucks I'm not a member there. Hope to see more deals.

Only if you're starting a new contract, not for upgrades.
Actually you guys have it wrong, Sam's will have it for $0.96
Seriously? Just got my phone about 2 weeks ago. I noticed Radioshack was having a $50 price for upgrade/new contract on black friday and was already kind of annoyed by that, should have waited, oh well.
I believe it is $35 for a business membership. So if you don't have a membership it will cost $35.96 for this when you upgrade with a two year contract. Correct me if I'm wrong on the price. I don't know if they wave the fee either.
Most times these are new activations and NOT upgrades. If you want a GSII and are not currently on ATT, this is the time to do it.

Take it back, then buy it again on BF. You have a 30 return policy.
Does this apply to adding a line on a family plan as well? I know it does on Amazon, but I'd like to get the phone same day on black friday if possible.
Has anyone asked Sam's Club if this is for new lines only or do upgrades qualify?
Really looking into getting this phone, just don't want to pay $148 if I can get it for cheaper on black friday.
Here's the link to the ad and several others.

The phone is going to be 96 cents. Even if there is 36 dollar activation, it's still cheaper than everyone else. Except amazon, but there it has to be a brand new line. We don't know about these other ones yet.

I simply went to Best Buy and asked them to price match. I don't have a Sams membership. I provided them with the printed add off the pdf that Sams posted online and $.96 + tax later I had my new phone. Yes prior to Black Friday. I was adding a line.
What was the price being taxed on at best buy?

can I upgrade for that price at bestbuy? I never upgraded from bestbuy before, but would they let me upgrade a different line and use my sim instead?
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
I am planning on getting this deal as an upgrade. I went to my Sam's and they said this is valid for upgrades. The activation is $18 for upgrades and $36 for new contracts. He also said that Verizon is waving the activation fee for BF and generally when one company does it the others follow suit. So he said at might be free activation as well.
For me I am not holding my breath on this free activation but it is still a great deal either way. It is available online and in store.
Does anyone know what price the taxes will be taxed at? This could be the deal killer...

I'm coming from an HTC Inspire 4G and the difference with the screen quality and battery life is amazing, I'm so happy with this phone.
I went to my local walmart and saw the phone for $99.98 and saw the ad for a Free $100 walmart gift card when buying smartphones so I got it right away.
BTW if anyone is interested in this deal, it seems that Tomorrow 12/3 is the last day that it will be available.
It's a ridiculous phone for $99, free just doesn't seem right.
Wow, I got ripped when I paid $1.04.
Sounds to me like you got ripped off $100 gift card at Walmart so you can buy more sh*t @ walmart
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using xda premium
You can use the gift cards for gas, groceries you'd be buying anyway, maybe a case for the phone if they stock them.
It's a good deal, it's money you'd otherwise be taking out of your bank account. Unless you never purchase anything from Walmart that is.
I'll hopefully get in on this today.
I assume YMMV, so I shall pass by the Walmart tonight.
Was hoping to get this phone as a gift for somebody and with a $100 gift card I can buy some other things I was going to get at Walmart anyways.

Well walmart is pretty close to me and I usually put gas there so with the gift card I get a 10 cent discount per gallon = $2.89 for me.
$2.99! It's still $3.05 here.

I already had a contract not sure if that's why your all getting it for that price.
Also for the $99 SGS2 at Walmart is it with a new contract or can you renew your current contract for that price and giftcard?
Going to get this for a friend so trying to find my best route.

Will Best Buy price match Verizon Wireless if I'm buying off-contract? I have $400 in Best Buy Gift Cards, so I'm going to buy it from them regardless, just would prefer not to have to pay $100 extra.
I've heard of people getting Best Buy to price match, but have never tried it personally. What's the worst that they'll tell you? Sorry, we can't do that?

Verizon and asurion will definitely not warranty your device from a device bought off Craigslist. I've tried before, and contacted various VZW reps and asurion rep

No, it was $599 at launch on Verizon and still is.
another cheaper way to get this is(verizon retail price), price match this to bestbuy for 599 and then use chase freedom credit card to get another 5% cash back(at bestbuy).
Or use amex credit card(by syncing them to twitter) u get 20$ back for 200$ spent at bestbuy..
and then use the chase freedom to pay the remaing 400$ and get back 5%(20$) at bestbuy .

Damn! Special friend pricing? I've been wanting the DNA, but I sure would like to pay a little less than $600.
wow $450 is very nice deal.
my bro was up for an upgrade end of this month, and my father in February 2013, (I bought Inc4 day it came out as my 2 year). My father gave me his upgrade for my bday(in Feb.) present.
So, I took my brothers upgrade and early upgraded to get the DNA (will be here Monday) and my brother can use my father's in Feb.
Paid $246 with tax and all the other crap.
$450 though is a heck of a deal.
Can't wait to get this phone, can't go wrong with having a DINC4G LTE for back-up either , should be ok til 3/2014 lol

That's how I ended up with my One X.
If you want the BB price, but want to buy from AT&T, check if your credit card has some sort of price protection. My card has it. I just had to call in and they open a claim. You fill out some paperwork and send in the advertisement with the price and they send you a check for the difference up to $250. I'm waiting for my paperwork for the OG right now.
BBUY price match to Amazon $50
Best Buy has a deal right now where you can sign up before Sunday to get a $50 gift card when you upgrade, but they will also price match to Amazon.
I got the price match a few weeks back and got the phone for $50. The $50 gift card would've been nice, but I had to buy before the end of last month for another deal. $50 credit on my AMEX is better than $50 at Best Buy.
tl;dr Best Buy price match to Amazon = $50 plus tax [on unlocked price].

Best buy makes commission based on how many they sell. So if it is free they make commission only but if it is more they make commission plus the price. The phones are worth 600 so either way your carrier loses money in the short term which is why there are contracts to keep you locked in. Best buy is paid by carriers for giving them 2yr customers.

Where would I get a best price for an upgrade for OG?
I tried Best Buy and they said they only activate new lines. I'm not sure if I was lied to by a sales rep so they would not waste time on customers with lower commission than activation a new line. Other places have the same attitude. It seems only ATT stores do upgrades and also phones are the cheapest there when you upgrade.
BTW, I am eligible for an upgrade (not early or anything).

Best Buy Mobile employees do not receive commission, and they also do do upgrades so you were lied to or at least misinformed but it wasn't because of commission... Perhaps a misunderstanding or a new employee, but as far as I know Costco is the cheapest right now but Best Buy will match any ones price so Best Buy is always the cheapest if you use price match.
The question is which stores have good prices on phone upgrades?
(They usually advertise new line prices only and upgrades are more expensive than AT&T store)
