Hey guys,
I rec'd mine, OEM ... regular price is about 70$ in stores ... 32$ + 6$ shipping on this site..
Definitely convenient when you're out and about, always having an extra battery (I keep mine at work and switch daily):

Nice price!
Would be nice to mention that shipping is only to Canada. Tried adding it to my cart and could only select Canada. I'm in NY.

My favorite part of the cart is the fact that it asks you select a country and the only one available is Canada?
Possibly because it's sold from "Computers Canada"?
Why is there a country choice?
If you registered your Note 3 with Samsung, they send you a 50% off any cell accessories under $50, with free shipping if you spend $50. So basically on the Samsung website, it would be $25+shipping if you only order it alone.

when you log into your Samsung account on the phone, it automatically registers. So when I entered in my info while setting up my phone, I got an email with the code.

Title says it all. Also if you use the coupon code, you get an extra $25 off at checkout (which will make it $175+ tax.) Plus there's free overnight shipping. And if you got the phone from anywhere else, see if you're still in the price match window, as I am. Going to get my $100 back from BB now. Hurry!
Coupon Code: 25RAFLTC

Yes sir they did, just got back from getting my difference. I did call in advance just to verify and they told me to come up and bring a print out of the site the deal is on. $106 in my hands.
I tried that Coupon Code and, it says "Coupon is not valid. Must enter coupon through Refer-a-Friend link your friend sent you."
I bought my Note from Verizon on Thursday for $299. Do you think LetsTalk will match it?

LetsTalk is cheaper, so I'm guessing you're asking if Verizon will price it. Then the answer is no, they won't.

I'm sorry, most of this info was provided from a post by Captain53 at AndroidForums. (I just shared the info here and on a few more sites I visit.) I, myself, didn't purchase through them, so I'm not sure of the procedure for the coupon code. I just used the info for BB to price match it and wanted to share for those who haven't bought the Note 2 yet because they were waiting for a price drop.
Thanks for the heads up! Best buy gave me money back also.

I just took my phone in and showed them frys / Sams club / sprints site. The manager told the girl helping me to make sure the price shown was for upgrades.
Well let's just say the girl helping me was beautiful and I made it a point to smile, be nice, and make good conversation (flirt) and she didn't verify anything just matched the price.
I'll probably go back just to say hi :beer:

In terms of price matching at Best Buy I had a bad experience. The manager in the cell department told me that they only price match the price of the corporate stores. That's it. Won't match Amazon, Wirefly or other websites. He even showed me on his computer Best Buy's position on cellphone price matching.

Frys / Sam's club show it at $250, I had best buy price match that [kinda-- I just got a real friendly girl that helped me out too].
I too found out the hard way BB does NOT match online retailers [not to say some don't get lucky--BUT it does CLEARLY state it on their site].
So I talked to different stores, and I so happened to go to one a few cities away since the one in my town was lazy [the system was down and didn't to do it manually]. Luckily for me it worked out great!

Wouldn't it be worth going back and getting the price match retroactively for $100?
I added a fifth line to my SERO plan. They wouldn't give me $100 credit for porting a BOOST MOBILE number so I spent $10 on a Walmart Tracfone and port that number over. Corporate store had problem adding a 5th line to SERO without changing plan so I ended up calling it in. Now I got to wait on 2-5 days shipping.

so you bought the phone at 350, then realized you could price match, came back and did a price match after the fact? Or did you price match on the day and time you did the upgrade? Because I bought two note 3's October 4th and tried to price match today (about 6 days later) and was told no, you can only price match on the day of the fact.

Sorry I wasn't clear. By took my phone I meant my old E4GT (s2) and showed them on that. If you want the discounts try another person / manager in the store. If not then try another store. If all fails you can go the route of returning them within 14 days or threatening to unless they match the price.
Good luck.

Is this code directly through Verizon?
At BestBuy
Placed an order for it online at 9:30am this morning with in-store pickup.
Picked up mine SM-N900VZKE (made in china) at 10:30am at local BB store in Queens NY. Since I am keeping my unlimited data plan I've paid full retail price ($799.99) online then called BB Mobile and asked them to price match it with VZW. They verified thet the price listed on VZN is $699.99 and just credited me back $100.
I also tried to use Verizon30 code on verizonwireless dot com but it didn't work, at least for off-contract phone.
So far I like the phone. I can tell you that the screen is definitely brighter than the one on N2 (which was my primary complaint) and I feel that the sound volume is lower than on old phone. It is 13g lighter than N2 but the speakerphone is not as good.
Now all I need is a root

If they give you any guff, ask them what the benefit is to you for bringing your business to best buy. works 90% of the time.
If that doesnt work, tell them you were interested in the Geek Squad protection. Once you say that, the employee will avoid everything that may deter you from the sale. If you get the price match cuz you said you wanted geek squad, pay the $9.99 for the first month and then simply cancel it the next day. You will get your full money back with no hassles.

I got mine from Best Buy two nights ago by asking them to price-match NewEgg.com's price of $229.00, but they gave me a little bit of grief at first. The guy that was working in the cellular sales department in my Best Buy said he wasn't too sure if they could match online retailer prices, so he walked off to search for a manager's approval. I didn't wanna get hosed, so I followed him just so I could hear his/her explanation if the manager wouldn't approve the price-match. Of course, the manager started off by saying that they didn't price-match to online competitors, but she explained to me that she "...would do it for you[me] just this one time since you[me] drove 35 minutes to get here and the Best Buy Store in your town said they would price-match for you[me] based on the stated list on our corporate website< Best Buy Low Price Guarantee >. I'm aware of what our website says, but technically it's up to the manager of each store to decide if their store will price-match against those stores listed on our site." This caught me VERRRRYYYYY off guard and I honestly don't think she was being truthful with me about that policy being up to the discretion of each store manager. I think it's a company-wide policy, but there's a little bit of fine print on their "Best Buy Low Price Guarantee" page that I didn't notice until after I had gotten home with my Note 3 and just re-checked the policy just for ****s-n-giggles. In the second paragraph, it states:
"The Guarantee is limited to one price match per identical item, per guest and does not apply to: Contract mobile phones sold by any online retailer, the online prices of retailers not listed, the online prices of products shipped from or sold by third party vendors (Marketplace vendors) on designated major online retailers websites, post purchase price match requests to competitor's prices, Best Buy for Business™, offers that include financing, gift card offers, bundling of items, free items, pricing errors, mail-in offers, coupon offers, competitors' service prices, items that are advertised as limited-quantity, out of stock, open-box, clearance, refurbished/used items, our and our competitor's Deal of the Day, daily deals, special hour sale event items and credit card offers, BestBuy.com Clearance & More and Marketplace items, and items for sale Thanksgiving Day through 11:59 p.m. on the Monday after Thanksgiving."

BUT finally, for us smartphone "enthusiasts" and all Best Buy customers wishing to take advantage of their price-matching policy, the VERRRRRYYYY last bit at the bottom is what you want to pay attention to:

Good Luck!
So I'm planning on importing a Z2.
I'm on AT&T, are there any unforeseen consequences to doing this?
I just want to make sure I don't screw myself.
Thanks in advance.

I did it and it was painless. I had my concerns but someone on another forum recommended a reputable dealer "e-bagel-tw" on eBay. He accepted my "best offer" price and the shipping was free. Since it's an international phone, it has to have AT&Ts LTE enabled after you get it. Some people have been panicking thinking they're stuck with 3G, but it's perfectly compatible once you download and install the right files.

I can confirm that ebay seller "e-bagel-tw" is legit. I ordered my purple z2 from them and had it in my hands in 2 days from Taiwan to U.S. Phone has worked flawlessly for the 2 weeks I have had it.

I'm thinking of ordering as well, I've grown impatient with my handtec order. Did you guys get the noise cancelling headphones or dock charger? His ebay listing doesn't mention either. Thanks.

I bought my phone from this seller too. When I realized that the was no charging dock in the box, I contacted him and he sent me the dock free of charge.
Such a good and honest seller. He deserves your business

Do you know a reliable source for these files? Just getting my ducks in a row.
I'm also on AT&T. I will say that I'd you don't already have the correctly enabled sim card, the system will give you a 3G only one of they enable the Z2 in your account. I had to go back and get them to fake the system into thinking I siding a different model so that it would provision LTE on my account.
Other than that, turn on LTE in the settings and use the system software to download the Internet settings and you're golden.
FYI, I dealt with the same seller and have the same comments about how great he is.

I wish I was paying more attention at the time. I took the phone to a local AT&T device support location in NYC when I realized I was not receiving data. The tech there couldn't figure it out at first either which is when mild panic started to set in and I backed off to let him fiddle with it. Eventually, he had a eureka moment when he stumbled upon a setting that required the download of a little file that allows the phone to connect to US LTE carriers. AT&T was one of the choices. Now in my phones settings: tools...wireless networks...more...internet settings...accept...and one of the three choices is ATT.
I'm going to order one as well. Probably will use the same seller.

What were the other carrier options under US? Was T-Mobile one of them?

I saw a few people with tmobile saying they got LTE going.
Can anyone confirm the noise canceling earphones from the suggested eBay seller? Thanks

I didn't want to be a time waster and make a ridiculously low offer so, I said $850 and it was accepted.
