Price through VZW is $249.99, assuming the website stopped being glitchy(I snagged mine for $219 on launch day). You may be qualified for a discount through your work or the New Every Two program and thus the $199 price. Long story short: It's probably $199 either way.
That's cheaper then instore id get it

In store is a lot more. Go with the Amazon pricing!
My price was even better. The Verizon website listed my price for the upgrade as $199, but when I got there, the rep looked up my account and said that my price was $149! Now I get special pricing through the company that I work for but if you get a discount through you company you might be pleasantly surprised like me.
Well I don't know about my work, but my line has an early upgrade which is showing it at $199, however, I have a secondary line with a full upgrade due tomorrow so as of now I can't view the price. I'm guessing it would be $149 or $199 online? Hopefully it's the same in store, I really dont wanna wait lol
Sorry to bump, but how many more people bought it in store, and what were the prices for what contracts? Also list any discounts you may have had please
Got Mine online for 199$ With upgrade and CVS Discount. In store they charge you way more fees. Also Normal price is 249.99 Plus tax (Over 300$) Online is best bet plus free 2 day shipping (Business days) I'd do online if I was you. Should come out to 250$ ish after taxes n such.
I got mine in the store. Paid 319 with a one year contract. I saw the thread about it being 199/229 and went on VZW online myself. I found the price and took a pic with my phone. Called the store and mms'd the pic the a VZW rep in the store. About 30 mins later got a email from vzw saying they refuned my card 96.00. Then a receipt followed in the next email.
I had the store match best buy's pricing on my DROID Incredible and I managed to still qualify for the mail in rebate... so at the very least if you find more competitive pricing you may want to see if they'll match in store...
I moaned and groaned about having the Droid for way too long now and having problems and spoke to a manager about possibly leaving Verizon. I ended getting the phone out the door, shipped for $49.99
Would it be better to get the thunderbolt on a 1 year or 2 year contract? If I do decide to do the one year am i going to be paying alot more than 249?
OK here's the deal. I am currently phone-less being I sold my GS2 in wake of the note. Now I have two upgrades due in May. My GF also wants a Note and she said she is more than happy with waiting. Me, I tried but I can't lol. Being smart phone less sucks. Not fun bringing my new Transformer Prime around and hoping for wif lol. So here are my options.
One of the upgrades is deff going to my GF. So that leaves one. I figured I could buy the note today for $650 and instead if paying early upgrade price of $550 saving my May upgrade for future phones like a SG3 or whatever. Or better yet I could buy a Note for $300 "full upgrade price" in May and eBay it and make some profit. I have went to all local ATT stores asking to upgrade early, but no go. Even tried customer service. Last year I got my GF a iPhone 4 early 30 days early, but they say they are much more strict now.
Basically should I just pay the retail of $650 and pocket my upgrade for the future? Or pay $550 and extend ans save $100, which seems silly.
I already told my GF I'd sacrifice my PS Vita if I was able to get the Note. I'm dying g to get one!
I also know $650 seems expensive. But I look at it as a investment. Being I would be able to sell it down the road if needed or wanted for at least 60% of my money back. And I'm not signing a contract extension. And I believe not having to pay the $36 new activation fee.
Thanks, I've been reading these forums all day yesterday. So ready for my Note!
Go to best buy they will price match at$t and you get rewards zone points, if you're a silver member they even have a 3x points coupon out now that's good through today.. 650 would get you 1950 points with coupon, equals almost 40 back in reward zone certificate.

Damn that's a good deal. I'd be all for that if I wasn't at 5 lines already in our family plan. 150 is a steal for the note! Lucky you
Exactly. I just went to google and typed in Samsung Note for sale in US and that link came up. I thought it was bs but the live chat lady actually said its a great deal and she'd walk me through it to ensure I get the $150 discount. Can't wait. Bye-Bye Skyrocket.
Man I'm always missing the great deals! Maybe I should see if I can return my note and get this deal!

Same here. I just got home and I got mine! Super happy, we had to stop at the grocery store and I was bumping into people playing with it lol.
I paid full price, gonna get my gf hers in may. And then save my other upgrade in case the galaxy s3 intrigues me. But I can't see it getting much better than the note, very happy with it thus far.
I just purchased mine for 150... I will try at&t service and determine if i will keep it.. If I decide i don't like it I will cancel my service and buy out my contract... 325... That's a total of 475 for the phone itself... Now that's a deal compared to paying 650...

I hear ya man, today was the first time I laid out full price for a device. I usually go full upgrade or early I must really love the phone
But in my case my other two lines are due for upgrade in may so my gf gets one. And the other I can save for a future "me" device . Or get a note and sell it for $600 on the bay with my upgrade. Thus means I got mine for $300.
We utilize 3-4 of our lines between me and my gf. Id like to drop one off as well and save the $10 a month.The other we give to her parents in the mid west. Otherwise I would have done the $150 deal.
The ATT reps were totally unaware of the 50% off deal too, go figure lol.
Of course they were. They don't know of any of the deals I ask about.
Pay full price. I've been selling almost 10 $500 per Note in Craigslist. Only $100 more from early upgrade
Maybe try another store I just bought a phone back in November when I signed up for At&t. I called the store and said I wanted to buy the phone outright and the guy said why do that when you can do and early upgrade because they were not able to sell the phone off contract at the time. Do you live on Los Angeles? The store I go to is really customer focused.

I paid $375
I just purchased one for $375, because my contract wasn't up until 08/12, so I had to do what they call an "exceptional upgrade". $300 for the phone and $75 for the early upgrade. I did it at one of those authorized AT&T stores, looks like the real store but they have their own price for early upgrades , compared to AT&T with their $175-250 fee. And now I see that premiere customers are eligible for 50% discount so I'll be calling them in the morning to try and get some kind of credit. Even though I really didn't spend any money because I sold my Skyrocket for $400!

sell me one lol
I'll be buying mine outright. $100 difference between outright and extending my contract and losing out on my scheduled upgrade in July? Kind of a no-brainer.
I did an early upgrade and was expecting to pay $550. It rang up at $500. The rep didn't know why. My upgrade wasn't due until March of '13.
I've searched and not found so if it's posted, just delete or whatever is necessary.
Looking at Bestbuy's web site and also calling a local store (Detroit area, Michigan), the price of the EvoLte has dropped to $100.
Not sure what other offers are included.
Also seems that you cannot get to the actual EvoLte page unless you click on the link for "reviews" for the devices.
Anyone have any info on if Bestbuy is trying to sell them out and not restock? I know they've had a bunch of returns in this area because of the constant busy signal problems when making calls with bad service connections. Just speculation, no facts. I've actually had to swap 2 EvoLte's myself.
Here's the link.
That's what I paid at Best Buy 2 months ago.
Costco $100
Same price at Costco
sorry, I cant post the link.

Of course, because you were smart enough to cash in on some of the promos available at that time.
This is the price without any promos or deductions. The list price.
They just lowered it today, at least that's what they told me when I got my price match refund back from the LTE I got for a friend last month.

I was going to pick up a Note II on Sunday but the debate between the S4 and Note 2 lasted a bit long. By the time I was ready to buy, it was late and we needed to get the kids home and tucked in. That was Sunday. I look today and... $299 online. What the hell?
Best Buy's got it for $199 wit a $50 BB gift card. Tempted to do that so long as I can still upgrade it on my wife's line and move it over to mine, keeping unlimited data.
Yeah, do a round of online shopping. I got 2 for 216.00 from price matching sams club. If you can find a deal without gift cards verizon onlone match.
"One small step for man, One giant leap for mankind" said anyone who has tried Moon Rom
Yup, I'm looking around. Best Buy's deal is pretty decent as the price was already approved and I'm sure I can make use of the $50 gift card
The one alternative stuck in my head now is that the House Finance Committee has said she's fine with me picking up the Note 3 for the assumed $299 price.
The only thing I'd have to check on there is whether or not TrevE gets tethering working on it. I might just get the Note 2, then upgrade later to the 3 as the wife wants the Note 2 once I'm done with it.
Just get it at best buy. I got my note 2s with 100 gift cards due to a price match and recently got an s4 from a deal match at Dell for 129. It isn't worth it to buy through Verizon since they don't price match and you can get it elsewhere for cheaper from vendors that don't charge a restocking fee.
Never never never buy a phone directly from the carrier. Carriers don't offer deals that can beat third party stores such as Radio Shack, Best Buy, Wirefly and etc. For example, yesterday I purchased the Galaxy Note 2 and S3 from Radio for the total cost of $179. The Note 2 is only $149 at Radio Shack online store and Wirefly.

I clicked the link and it shows $699. I then tried to search Amazon and it said not available for my zip code? Weird!
Sprint is giving me the boot for excessive voice roaming and best buy said they'd give me $275 for my phone and it's only 199 for a new line so I'm already making money off the deal I guess I'm just being greedy and trying to squeeze them for more lol.
Gonna miss unlimited data but I guess the silver lining is being paid to switch. Bonus is I'm running goodness rom now and it's available for Verizon too!

Honestly I work at a Verizon premium retailer and I can say I don't know why we don't price match. Thing I hate though is people getting the phone somewhere else and asking us to fix the screwed up plans or transfer contacts and put on screen protectors. If you don't want to spend the extra money here, don't ask us to do work for free, as we are 100 percent commision.

Only problem is he wants to transfer upgrade and when I got my Note 2, best buy told me that only Verizon could do it because they would only do it when I upgraded, not before and have it ready on my acct. Amazon couldn't do it either.
Looks like I missed Amazon's $149.99 price. I was going to hit Best Buy yesterday and got caught up with other things so it didn't happen and we figured on getting it Saturday. Amazon has it at $179.99 right now. Not bad and still the cheapest price for upgrading a line (new service is cheaper).
As to the upgrades, no, I won't be moving upgrades around. I'll be upgrading my wife's line as it's eligible for an upgrade. Then just move the phone to my line and reactivate her current phone. Once the Note 3 is out, I'll need to move my upgrade over to her line to do it again so I may run into the necessity of using Verizon there. I'll have to see how that goes.
Radio Shack is offering $149 for new customers & $199 for upgrade.

Well damn. Amazon went back up to $199. NewEgg's got it at $189. I'd do Costco but Best Buy won't price match them (the $50 BB gift card is still a solid deal) and I doubt the Costco deal includes extras. I guess if you snooze, you lose
Whatever the best price, hopefully I'll have a new Note 2 later this afternoon.
$149 deal
Gnoop not sure if you've already made your Note 2 purchase, but if not "letstalk" is still running deal for $149 new customer or upgrade and it includes upgraded free next day shipping as well.

I did pick it up but thank you for the info. I ended up getting it at Best Buy on the last day of the gift card deal. The gift card was able to be used immediately so it came to $149 and I walked out of the store with the phone working. Now I just need to wait for Amazon to ship my case and memory card.

Something else interesting on the AT&T vs. Verizon question: Straight Talk now supports AT&T LTE for $45/mo.
My G2 was $540 on release day, as were some others that I've read about.
It supposedly has to do with the difference between the AT&T Next price and the Full Retail price, with the former needing to be price-adjusted by the rep, but most reps don't realize they need to or have to.
My reps never understand why I want to buy phones at full retail (I've bought like 5 or so in the last 6 months). It must not be common?

This.
Multiply the "Next" price by 20 and thats what you pay + tax for any phone in the store.
in this case its 27x20=540 + tax. The listed retail price is meaningless.
Whats really interesting is the new iPhone 5c is listed as $20 on Next pricing which would effectively mean it will only be $400 brand new, but their listed retail is like $549

Holy crap. If I can get a 5C for $400, I would totally do it just to have another smartphone.
I have a problem
I bought mine on launch day and the display said $579 no contract price, but I was charged $540 (before tax). I thought it was odd, but wasn't about to complain. This phone is a steal at that price.
It was $540 in stores when I picked it up on Friday. So glad I didn't order online for that 575 it's showing. I'm in Dallas too.

I'm surprized more people don't do the buy on contract and just pay the ETF. I mean $199+$325 is only $525. Plus it looks like you only pay tax on the $199. Or maybe I'm missing something.

I thought about that too, but wanted to save my upgrade for whatever comes next. Also, it depends on which state you live in. In the lovely people's republic of California, we have to pay tax on the retail price regardless.
