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

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.

My T-bolt was pre-ordered with wirefly shortly after midnight pst.
Anyone else go this route? I should have it Friday, fingers crossed!
Mine is as well, gotta love not having to pay state tax at best buy!
Funny thing, I didn't even know wirefly was preordering tonite. I just happened to return my giftcard from the preorder at bestbuy.
I hope you all used fatwallet to get an additional $25 cashback. There is a coupon for a Transcend 4GB MicroSD Card & Mini & Standard Adapters.
So instead of Besbuy and its $300, it is 175 from wirefly thanks to fatwallet. I actually didn't remember at first, so I had to cancel my first order and redo it with fatwallet.
I ordered as well, i hope the standard fedex shipping gets here before monday
I don't even see it on the site? Did they pull it off?
EDIT: NM, it suddenly appeared. If I do this pre order, it's not going to mess w/my plan, right? I've got that 69.99/month for 450 minutes, unlimited data and 5 friends/family.
We don't know VZW pricing yet, do we?

What I'm afraid of is losing the $20 credit I get every month for the "special" plan that I'm on (that's the one that expired on 1/31 and was "only" available to special people). It's $59.99 (+) 29.99 (-) $20 = 69.98 for unlimited data, text, 450 minutes PLUS 5 friends and family (usually you only get that on 900+ minute plans). It wants me to add a plan to my cart and of course THAT plan isn't available. ~sigh~
I think I'm going to HAVE to get it from VZW so I can save the $30 w/my final NE2 discount. I wonder if VZW will have a $50 "visa" rebate to get the price down. I did the pre-order w/BB and have that $50 GC but they won't do the NE2 credit, I've asked several times. Coulda returned the BB card I guess, but I'll end up using it, I do shop there upon occasion :-D
Don't know if Wirefly has improved their activation process but I remember when the Incredible first came out, a bunch of people purchased from them because it was cheaper and they had issues with shipment, activation, and customer service. If I recall correctly there were people unable to activate their phones for almost a week. Just an fyi.......

Lets start listing where the SGSII can be purchased, and for how much.
We all know AT&T now has it for $199 on contract, $549 outright.
Amazon shows it as $150 for a qualified upgrade. The phone page is down, but you can still add it to your cart and order it.
Sams' Club also has it for $169 for a qualified upgrade, $199 for a new line
Weird that a new line would be more expensive...
Samsung Galaxy S II for AT&T - Sam's Club Mobile...
I got my Wife's Infuse there for $99 a few weeks back, and they even let us keep her Unlimited Data plan. Works for me.
Still waiting to see if CostCo will have it tomorrow. I like the idea of their 90 day return policy just in case the Nexus Prime is too tempting.

I was thinking about doing this too... So, say if I were to buy it from CostCo at the 2-year price, would I be able to return it within its 90 days for a refund along with terminating the plan early (with no early termination fees of course)? So if this does happen, I should be allowed to buy the Prime, after the return, for the 2-year price, right?
I'm asking this because I was under the impression that, before 90 days, CostCo only held returns/refunds for the handset itself, and not for the 2-year service plan. And that AT&T were the only ones who could offer a refund/cancellation of a 2-year service plan, in addition to the handset, but this would only be before 30 days. Is this true?
Walmart's in store price is going to be 148.88 , but their website is listing it as 164.99 for qualified upgrade. But none of the local Walmart around here have received any of the phones yet in store. I'm going to try to get best buy here to price match.

I am going to call the cell phone kiosk at CostCo before I head in to get clarification on the actual terms.

Sam's Club doesn't have it, neither does Costco.
I'll go to BestBuy and see if they price match WalMarts, if not, I'll just go to an AT&T store.
Theyll prob announce it on the 11th but doubt it will release on the 11th lol

I just spoke with someone at CostCo Wireless. He has no idea when they are getting it, so buying it there is not an option for me, but I was able to get clarification on their return policy.
They offer the standard 30 day return if you just flat out don't want the device, with no penalty regarding your plan, and your "upgrade" can be rolled back, so same as an AT&T store.
For up to 90 days you can exchange your device for a new one if something goes wrong with yours. After 90 days you are dealing with the standard 1 year warranty through AT&T.
None of the other retailers in my area have the phone yet, so I am heading to my local AT&T store to buy it.

Upgrade. When the preorder page went live there was no way to perform an upgrade. After about an hour, they added the Note into the selection phones you can use for an upgrade. I was worried they weren't going to allow upgraders to preorder, but I was wrong.
First time poster.
I just tried upgrading a line that was eligible, but the price is coming out to $399 and I can't seem to get the $100 dollars off to make it $299.

The price of the phone is $399 but there is a "$100 discount". Are you encountering this price at the time you have to pay? I think maybe the discount won't be visible in your cart until you are actually ready to pay. You have to select the Note as your phone, then click "Add a Plan" and select the appropriate data plan.

Well just pre-ordered mine from AT&T online.
I am only 7 months into my current contract (Samsung Infuse 4G) but my Note upgrade cost is $299.00 + $18 onetime fee / 2yr contract extension. Plus I'll ebay my Infuse in a few weeks so that'll help lower the cost.
I tried BestBuy but it wouldn't allow the upgrade pricing. Oh well...no free case.
HOPE I don't regret this...but I don't think I will...the Infuse (4.5") has kinda gotten me used to larger smartphones.

HOW HOW HOW ?????? You shouldnt be able to do that. I cant!!!
Pre-ordered Carbon Blue shortly after midnight using via AT&T Premier with my employers discount for monthly service. Ordered new line with "voice-restricted data-only" at $36/mo after 20% employer discount (currently I'm Sprint w EVO 4G). Was not eligible for $100 discount due to no voice-plan. Price was $375 - $25 employer discount + $21 state sales tax = $371.
And, yeah, this data-only plan (which claims "unlimited data") does not seem to be available to the general public, it's somehow tied tied to my employer-discount negotiated plans. Will be trying to use VOIP to handle the very low number of calls I make each month, but that's the topic for another forum.

The Premier website is freakin' annoying. They're listing the thing at $399 then forcing you to get a rebate. I thought Premier customers were supposed to get preferential treatment!
EDIT: Oops, looks like the discount is applied automatically when you check out. Still, it's annoying -- like they're trying to make you think you're getting a better deal than you are.
Has anyone seen any in stores/etc? I really want the black one, but am running out of time to buy the phone and still be eligable for the $100 trade in promotion which makes it much more worth while. Most stores I've called say not announced... but one store said a few stores have started getting them. I'd even consider the unlocked or dev version from htc direct, but hence no black available there either...
I'm starting to wonder if the black is worth the extra $100 over the silver... but I'm not sold on the silver yet.

All I know is they are over -150 orders in and they are just waiting for them to start showing up. If you cut it close get the silver and just trade it before the 14 days. I am hopeful that it will be either tomorrow or early next week.
I have not heard from a single person who has got it...
I've seen it in store as a demo and was offered one today but ended up buying the silver. I'm in Atlanta for your reference.

Make sure you call before you go. I had three stores tell me the silver was in stock when the HTC one was released when in fact it wasn't.

If you trade it, even though it is the same phone, you are still in the hook for the $35 restocking fee, right?

probably but I'm sure you probably can try to argue that it was suppose to be out the 19th and you had to get the rebate just to see what they said. I just talked to AT&T and it may be better news she said that the preorders and now at -144 so either they started shipping some or people canceled the orders.
I guess I'll call some Best Buys today then... I bet they'd even price match Walmart's $150. I'll also try calling a few corporate stores again today, though I'm sure they're tired of people calling.

I was at best buys yesterday and almost purchased a silver one. They approved the price match with walmart without hesitation. Decided to hold off and wait for the black but it's getting really difficult.

I actually got my silver on the 18th, but no rebate, just the media link streamer. I'm not sure it is worth the extra $35.

Just called them. They do not have the black in stock as I suspected. I doubt there are any black units in stores currently since the AT&T preorders haven't even shipped.

Unless they actually checked the availability right in front of you there's reason to believe them. I've been misled several times already.
I don't follow market trends or tactics but if I had to make a guess. You will see the black show up on the S4 release date.
Additionally, I'm surprised BB matched Wal-Mart. The price match doesn't include wireless phones. At least that is what their policy states.

my BBY said they stopped that practice. And I was trying so hard to wait to see if my Radio Shack was getting it so i could do the $50 Play store card. but they have no info on it. So I called ATT chewed them out and got the silver one for $150 free overnight and no activation fee. Im currently siting by the door lol im so impatient couldn't wait any longer:laugh:
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!
What a glorious machine!!!

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

The Verizon deal only works on contract. If i could pick up the G2 from Verizon off-contract for $540 before taxes, I'd go get it right now.

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 went into my AT&T store to buy it, but they would only sell it for $575, not $540. I asked them about the $540 price and price matching, etc. No go. Didn't buy!

I would have still paid $575 for this phone. It's that awesome. But I'd like to know why there are inconsistencies with the price. Even the display in the AT&T store shows $575.

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.

Yeah, it's still a great value, especially when you stack it up against the Note 3, iPhone 5s, and GS4. You get a lot of phone for the money.

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.

I just got upgraded to HTC One 3 months ago. So what will be the price in the store if i want to buy this at full price $540 or $579 ?
Also could you guys give the exact address of the store that sold it for $540 in Dallas.
