AT&T...charges your credit card when the device ships.
Best Buy is charging 749 off contract online, which is 100 dollars more than at&t but I was told they price match in the store if you show them at&t's price.
Couldn't order online because it won't let me keep my unlimited data plan. Will have to go in the store.

Some will match some will not. I think the official policy is that they do not match the carrier stores. If you go to a Best Buy with a ATT retail store nearby, they will usually call the store to make sure the phone you want is in stock there and then they will match it.
I like Best Buy because they have a 30 day return policy with no restock fee.
Hmmm.
I just tried to pre-order the Note online at Best Buy, except that it forces you to chose one of the newer data plans. I'm grandfathered on the old Unlimited plan and do NOT want to lose that... any suggestions?
Or just I just stick to ordering directly from AT&T?

Best Buy will price match any "brick and mortar "price. Meaning if it can be purchased and in stock at any store they'll price match. Just not any online price

Just go to the B& More store. They should be able to do it at Best Buy mobile.

I just did my pre-order at Best Buy.
You put $50 bucks down and get a $50 BB gift card as a deposit that you can use towards your phone or not.
The guy said they are getting it on release day and not 2 days earlier like At&t but also said the computer many times doesn't really keep track of early release info etc....just standard release days. Either way, I will swing by on the 17th just in case.

Can you order through Best Buy if you're an AT&T Premier customer?

That's why I decided to go with AT&T, since it was $100 cheaper than what Best Buy offers for full price.
Because that's the price we got them at. it sucks because if we got them at 650 my employee price would be around 500 if you're buying outright though we will gladly price match atts 650

Subsidized: BB making money on your monthly bills. It adds up nicely for 2 years.
Unsubsidized: BB making money on phone sale only.
Most 3rd party retailers ask more than AT&T's list price for unsubsided price.
This is not a surprise. Bestbuy's unsubsidized prices are always way over everyone else's. The same can be said for pretty much any product they carry.

True. It's better to buy the phone outright from AT&T itself. Although BB has one of the best prices when it comes to upgrades, after awhile when it goes down, of course. I've never used Wal-Mart to upgrade, even though I heard they have the lowest price when it comes to upgrades.
I have always been successful in getting Best Buy to match the ATT store price on no commitment prices. Best Buy has no restock fee just in case you are not 100% you will keep the phone, which I am never sure when buying no commitment. Plus, it is easier to get gift cards from Best Buy...
As far as being taxed for $749, sounds like a state issue...

That does suck. They are not required to do it. The one I shop at has like 3 ATT stores within 5 miles so they call to make sure the phone is in stock at the ATT store and then they discount the phone to match.
Maybe find a BB with ATT stores close by?

I'll do that next year once I'm due for my upgrade. I'm going to use it to get the S3 once it comes out and see if anyone would price match it. Although I'm not hopeful.
The Note was the one thing that was going to get me to upgrade and renew my at&t contract...which I hadn't done since 2007 with the original iPhone.
But unless a 3rd party vendor drops the subsidized pricing rather soon to a more reasonable price, I won't upgrade.
On top of that, my current contract doesn't let me use LTE...due to APN issues. So I'm gonna wait to see if someone finds a way around that (if it's actually possible).
They don't make money off the subsidized phone over the 2 years. They get around $200-350 from the phone company after the sale.
I was a part of the group that started BB Mobile in 2006.

Thanks for clarify that. The main profit comes from the 2-year contract. What I didn't know is AT&T pay them up front.
I went back to AT&T and got mine today. Was expecting it to be $575 like website, but was $540 instead. They must have matched Verizon's deal. Glad I could not get website to work last night!

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 tried to get the $540 price and failed as well. I said "my friend got it for $540" (since you guys are all my friends ) but he said that is the NEXT pricing and I had to pay the $579. Oh well - I still think that's a great price for a device of this caliber and I am a happy owner.

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.

"Show rooming" as its called will never go away and Best Buy isn't the only company that is losing business because of this. Right now it's a matter not just on competing in price but also the overall experience. Best Buy has made improvements on this for sure in the past year and I'm very sure will continue to keep improving as well. It's never a bad thing as a consumer to have choices in the market for where to buy products. Especially since the demise of Circuit City which you can't deny did hurt more than helped Best Buy for a good deal of time by not having a direct specialized electronics retailer competing against them.

Hello,
So I bought an HTC One last May at full price so I could use it abroad. I now want to replace it. What are my options here? Will T-Mobile give me credit if I return it to them? Or would I have to sell it and then buy a phone at full price again?

Most likely: Sell the device and either buy a new one outright again - or use T-Mobile's EIP financing (and then sell the old one).
Out of curiosity; what are you looking to replace it with?
