I happened to walk into Verizon today and got the OEM extended batter for $32 after taxes! I was taking my girlfriend to look at phones again and asked the rep if they had any in, he said yes, as a matter of fact we have a special going right now for them! Couldn't pass it up!
And, FYI I hate extended batteries, but this phone is a monster and we all know it needs the power! I am very pleased! I would suggest everyone try if they don't already have one!
Yep, I picked one up today also. They're 50% off.

They actually argued with me today. Told the guy to scan it and see, and then he's like, oh I guess they are on sale. Swear sometimes that verizon didn't want my money...

I had no idea they were on sale, the rep handed it off to another rep and after my Military discount told me a different price. I told him the first dude said it was $29, he went to check and sure enough. Good thing the first guy mentioned it, otherwise I would probably have paid full price.
is it worth it? i'd have to cut one of my TPU cases to get it to fit lol

I picked it up earlier around 2pm I put it in the phone to drain it(45% upon installing), and even with 4G outtage and LTE antenna on I am still at 12%... lol. It is now 11:11.
Edit: Another thing I like, the antenna contacts are metal rather than that paper like crap in the stock back. Also, this battery doesn't seem to get as hot.
Great news. I'll have to buy online now. Thanks
Edit
Can't find it online. I guess I'll have to stop in a store.

I got mine tonight from the Verizon corporate store at the Promenade in Scottsdale. It wasn't on the floor. They had to get it from the back.

They have been 50% since launch of Rezound, when I bought my stock Rezound battery for my Thunderbolt they were both on sale and have been since. You can get them online as well, if you get a work discount. Don't log in just go to check out.

theyre not on their website at all... they took it down after the fiasco where people were getting them for like 5 dollars

I would think this goes in the accessories sub forum. Just saying. And I got my battery around $30 when I picked up my phone on Nov 18. Definitely gives the phone a more solid feel. They sell cases that fit with the extended battery. And a holster also.
This wasn't an accessory discussion, this was a heads up to folks that they are on sale if they hadn't already known. Notice the broad general discussion? Weren't you threatening to block me? lol, get out of my thread troll.

yeah, sucks that they won't give me the sale price and my 25% accessory discount...
Anyways, I have 2 of them now which means I should never have to plug my phone in at work again (or anywhere else for that matter).

Eventually you WILL have to recharge your batteries, right?
Bought mine on Amazon when I bought my Rez, and I think I paid almost full price. Should have gone to a VZW store...

My phone was pretty good on the stock battery, now I will keep it charged and in my truck for that off chance that my extended battery might die.
Thank for the info I also get 25% off of anything I buy so it should be pretty good deal then.

They don't stack the discounts. You get the better of the 2 offers. I get an accessory discount too, but they couldn't apply it.
you can get just the battery for $15 from htcpedia. i got one case/battery and an extra battery so it's great
We are getting ready to switch from sprint to att. I am looking at getting the note and I have a few questions. How is the gps chip in it? Have there been issues loss of service or sleep of death with the note? I currently have an Epic 4g Touch and it has issues with LOS and SOD as well as a weak gps chip and I am hoping that samsung didn't do that with the chip on the note.
So far...GPS has been 99% accurate for me...
-Once you go NOTE, you'd say 4 inches a Joke
GPS is extremely fast and accurate on the note.
Sent from my CM9‘d SGH-I717 using xda premium.
You might get loss of service but 99% of the time its because you have the wrong modem
No SOD ....at all
You should be good
GPS is very accurate

Samsung went above and beyond on the GPS. The Note has access to the usual AGPS and GLONASS, making it basically the most accurate phone out there.

Well first off the note is a great phone i love mine. And as far as the gps goes i used mine just this weekend to get me all the way to beach(which is a five hour drive for me) and it never lost conection once the whole way there.
AMAZON.COM has it cheaper than BestBuy. Get the Note or if you can wait save your money and wait for the Note 2.

If you have a sams club near you check them out for a note. I bought mine there and the nice thing about them is you only pay tax on their prices not full retail. Though amazon you don't pay taxes at all
I guess it depends if you want your phone today or tomorrow will determine where you go.
As for the phone, it's a wonderful phone and everything else it can do, just make sure that you play with one so you know how it fits in your hands

I was happy until they lied to me about having to give back my current device. I gave in and gave them my s3. I'm happier with the n3 anyway.
Sent from my SM-N900P using Tapatalk 2
I upgraded with the one up program last night. The first sprint store i went to said that i needed to give my s3 back but the 2nd sprint store didnt say anything...
You only have to give back your phone I believe if you are still under a contract. I was not under a contract any more but traded my phone in under their buy back program because it's always a hassle to try to sell them on eBay and Craigslist.
Sent from my SM-N900P using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I did too. I should have put a junky old phone I had on the line and then upgraded because they would have taken that phone instread of the Windows.phone. good reminder to anyone with a spare old phone doesn't seem like sprint cares what phone you trade as long as.it is active on your accout.

I was under contract on both my lines (note 2 and s3). Had 11 months to go on one line, 8 months to go on the other. Esn swapped those lines to an evo 3d and a photon, went to the store an hour later, and did one up for 2 note 3s. Note 2 currently on craigslist, s3 will be once I replace the screen this weekend. Woot!
I also went with the One Up program since my normal upgrade wasn't available until 1-1-14. Very nice having to only pay $49 for the GN3!! Also I did NOT have to give them any device to start the One Up program! Not sure if it was because the device active on my line wasn't the device I bought at upgrade price which locked me into the 2 year contract, or what it was. I kept getting mixed answers whenever I asked a Sprint rep, either by 611 or at a local store. When a 611 rep told me I didn't have to give them my current device, I asked her to put a note on my account stating that I didn't have to just in case my local store told me I would have to on launch day.
$0 down was an amazing deal for those of us who took advantage of that offer while it was available!! Sprint is no longer doing $0 for the One Up program, and didn't really even advertise that they were doing $0 down! Just glad that I got in on that awesome deal!

Good find, but unless someone here has ordered it, someone might need to take a plunge and buy it.

You cant really tell. It has the same model number as our battery but how do they have so many? I would say look at the seller rating but I don't know how accurate/dependable those are cause I never used eBay before. Personally I would just wait for samsung to release it on website.

Better to just wait for local pickup or order direct through Samsung with the price being $52.40 off of eBay!

with that price and the fact that it's from Korea, I'd bet that it's genuine
It's legit. I got one from another Korean eBay seller. It's utterly identical to the one which shipped with the phone apart from some of the writing being in Korean on the new one. It's just too close to the original to be a knock off. Of course Korea is going to get Samsung product before everyone else - the main factory is there.

Couple of pics. Since I'm using the camera in the phone I can't post both batteries side by side.
Definitely looks genuine

The 100% genuine one is listed on Samsung's website but is on backorder. Reserved mine and got an email stating within 14 business days. If you guys register your note 3 on Samsung's website they'll email you a 50% coupon. It'll be a steal for only $20!

What kind of power plug is there on the end that plugs into the outlet? South Korea doesn't use 110V AC do they? Did you have to buy a voltage converter?

Well, crap. I'm out $199.99 now. Thanks for the tip. I just became eligible for an upgrade yesterday, and my new credit card gives me $200 at the end of the month (if I spend too much), plus 5% cash back on amazon purchases. I couldn't pass it up. I hope its better than my Galaxy S2.

I went from an s2 to the note 3 and its like going from a SS camaro to a Zr1 vette. The camaro is fast but the zr1 is a whole new ball of wax.
Just super bad ass.

I was mostly kidding, I'm sure I will love it. It's been a long time since I've had one of the latest and greatest phones. I do love my S2 though. It's the best phone I ever had and could go all day and then some on the extended battery. Should show up on my doorstep tomorrow!
So I had seen this Cyber-Monday deal earlier in the day, but in the cart when I would add the phone for a new line of service with an existing account, I would get $169.99. So after calling the wife, and her hemming and hawing over if I should pay cash or put it on AMEX (to cover the phone), she finally agreed to let me buy it with the AMEX. I went back into the cart and added the phone again, with the same option (existing account new line of service) but the price went from 169.99 to 199.99. I contacted Amazon, they could confirm it that it was indeed at the $169.99 price on their side (with the same options) but for some reason the cart was messing up. They had me buy it at 199.99 and immediately changed the price to $169.99. That plus I had a single $25 statement credit on a $75 purchase w/AMEX for anything at Amazon during December, made it a sweet purchase at $144.99.
I got the phone on Wednesday, and I'm very glad I made the move back to Sprint. We originally had a Sero account (for my wife) that got upgraded for smartphones. Since I bought my line back to Sprint, we went with the unlimited family plan and with my organizational discount, it made the second line the same cost as the Sero plan. I'm very happy indeed.

I just switched from the evo lte to the note 3 and I can't even begin to express my satisfaction with the switch. Except for trying to get used to the power button, volume rockers, home and back buttons being on the opposite sides - I am so in love with this thing.
