Go to your local AT&T and ask about the Note and tell them you have it preordered at bestbuy and ask them if you could get it from them they will sell it to today at least that's what I was told I am really thinking about getting it
You could always give it a try. Although I'm skeptical about this happening.
I can't speak for all AT&T stores, but I know that wouldn't work at ours.

When I told the guy at AT&T that I got my skyrocket from bestbuy you would of thought I killed his born lol they hate bestbuy I say if your desperate enough give it a try the worst they could say is no
I'd say it's worth a shot if you have the time and you live close-by to an at&t store. And if you're really welling to pay $300 for a new contract.
But for some people, they probably feel that $300 is a rip-off for subsidized. So they're gonna wait for other 3rd party vendors to drop the price first before making the purchase.

If you have been to a store that has both colors of the GS2 Skyrocket on display, then it should be easier for you to make a decision. Just think of the Note as being larger than the Skyrocket.

The sales lady at Sprint across from the Falls in Miami told me i couldn't buy the phone unless i bought 2 accessory's that they were doing a bundle only sale.
I told her to get me a manager, she went and spoke to someone and when she came back she was rude and told me she would just do it.

Happened to me @ RS. Then the manager walked over and I said are you really going to force me to buy a screen protector and an Otterbox case?!? He said no u don't have to, we're not forcing it on you. Then the salesman helping turned to the manager and said, "oh we're not?". I was about to flip out! *SMH*
My CSR asked me if I wanted any accessories, I said no, he said "are you sure" , Yup.. ok no no problem... I worked sales before I get it, he wasn't pushy with me, sorry you guys getting ****ty people :\
My sales lady wasn't pushy at all. She asked if I wanted to buy any accessories, I told her no and that was the end of it. I was in and out of the Sprint store in like 15 - 20 minutes.
Went to Sprint store and wasnt even asked if I wanted any accessories.
i actually bought a mount and car charger needed one for my evo and never got around to it so i decided to do it now or i probably never would. plus i got a extra discount.
I work at a Sprint store and we don't do anything like that. You can walk in and buy one with no stipulations. Do you know if it was a corporate store or indirect retailer?
I've had it happen. They are never supposed to do it but sometimes they will when they think they have a hot phone. It's to boost their sales numbers. Last time they did it to me I emailed [email protected] and had the manager of the store chewed the F out.
Also you can say yeah I'd love to buy the accessories and then right after they ring them up go you know what I don't want those anymore please return them. Make sure to open them first though so it really screws with them.
When my uncle bought his evo the same thing happened to him. Are you sure that its a corporate sprint store, because if its not and its a 3rd party sprint, they try to pull that bs on you.
I work with some sales reps that do that to customers. Some managers train/tell the employees to say crap like that.

what best buy did you go and get your from? i only ask cause im from the area. I usually go to the one by the international airport in River City.
I was asked if I want to buy accessories. I said no. The rep said "well, you'll really want to. This is a $500 phone you're buying here!"
I wanted to respond with - "I will buy some accessories, but not your overpriced junk." But i didnt.

The lady in telesales tried to get me to pay $54 for a blue tooth and something else. I only noticed it because she gave me a total of $260. When I inquired about the phone being $199 she came clean about the accessory bundle.
I would have gone to store to buy, but I'm on SERO still. Only choice was to deal with telesales and now I have to wait until 28th to get my phone.... sucks too because my tp2 has been broken for a month.

I have a Dell Streak...even though it is running 2.2.2, I LOVE it.
I wanted to take a look at the SGS2 just to see if it was as good in person, as
it has been in the press.
Stopped by a blue shirt store (Best Buy), strolled around looking for it. Couldn't find it. Finally a drone asked me if I was looking for anything. Said, yes, but you don't have it. Told her and she said, "oh, we have them, we just didn't bother putting them out". LOL No display for the device, nothing. I said do you even have a non working one. Oh, I guess I have one behind the counter, but with the new iphone coming out....I just turned and walked away.
Best Buy has become such a joke. About all it is good for, is going into the
store to actually HOLD something in your hand, then buying it from Ebay or
Amazon for LESS.
Stopped by a corporate death star store and saw a FUNCTIONING one. Wow! Fast, smooth, BRIGHT. If it wasn't for the smaller 4.3" screen vs the 5" screen I have on the streak, I would have gotten one right then. If the Note comes to the shores before 2012, I'll get one, or just bite the bullet and get the SGS2.
Kind of hard going back to a smaller screen when you get use to a 5 incher.
Yeah Best Buy has gotten bad. I went to make a simple exchange of Infuse for Galaxy S II and left those crappy headphones home by mistake and she wouldn't let me exchange. There was another Best Buy on the way home, stopped in there and the guy didn't even ask about the headphones. They were sold out at 12:15 though so I had to get a return and go to AT&T to get the phone.
The pricing in there is ridiculous. They are butt raping people, 40 dollars for a 6 ft HDMI cord? Get out of here.

My local Best Buy store got 2 in stock today for AT&T. 2?! Luckily, my regular AT&T store had plenty so I got one there. Slightly harder still was finding a screen protector. After 9 months out of contract I'm back, but it's all good.
You guys must be going to some shady best buys. The one i go to they know me by name and always know what im in for before i even ask for what i want. They also price matched AT&T for me this morning and gave me 10% off for my whole purchase because im a rewards member. Me and Best Buy are friends. lol

Both best buys near me got two each, and one of them is always being slammed by tour busses. I don't know why so many best buys are only getting 2 GS2s each but thankfully I got one of those two so I'm happy.

We got only small quantity of gs2 cause of at&t. We were told that they wanted them because of the extra add on packages and accessories. We are considered second to corporate att .

That's what the BB guy told me. He said he could get me one from another store, which I assumed was another BB. I asked him when would they get another shipment, and he said Thursday's is when the truck came in. I said thanks, then drove over to AT&T.
Best Buy can be a PAIN, I will readily admit that. However it can really depend on the service. I tend to get really good service at my local Best Buy. And since we recently bought a new home and upgraded out TV, fridge and washer Dryer, I had a BUNCH of reward zone points. So I pre ordered my GS II at BB. when I got there they where great, they returned my $50.00 pre order to my card. Price matched the "rumored" $148.88 Wal-Mart price, and did it all pretty dran quick too. My total OOP for the phone was $1.88. So while I can agree that in many cases BB isn't the best, currently I am a fan.
I have not had an issue with Best Buy. I had gotten my Nexus S there, now my SGS II and everything went smoothly. They even price matched WalMart for me.
I am not going to call because they will think im crazy. I ordered my note at the best buy in Dickson City, PA. not sure if they got notes yet. I really hope they got my white one. they originally said they may not.
So, anyway, anyone know if there best buy did (or didn't) get notes and cases?

I called Thursday, nothing, I called today, nothing. I went into the store tonight and they had a dummy one sitting out, first time I picked one up, felt good in the hands. My BB said they believe they will have them Sunday,
I called three best buys around the Chicago Land area and they each had only 2 white galaxy notes...did not ask for the blue. The 3 stores included the 1 that i placed my preorder at. I asked if i could pick it up but they said no that the phone will be released on sunday and to be there when the store opens.
My best buy has notes in. Went in to pick them up, but the rep had no idea what he was doing. He walked around the store for a good 30 minutes and came back and told us that they aren't releasing them until Sunday.
I got the email on Thursday that mine was ready to pick up. I called em, and I asked if I could pick it up. The chica did say mine was there but I had to wait until Sunday at 10am to pick it up.
I tried to explain to her that the internet doesn't lie and my email said I could pick it up. Then she had the gall to tell me the internet lies but that she wouldn't lie to me. I told her I had an exwife that lied to me all the time. She said she was different than all those other women. So I asked if she would marry me. Of course she wanted to go on a date first. I then asked if I took her on a date if I could pick up my note early. She still said no. Gaw

HAHA, I've bought my last three phones from Costco. I won't go to the Verizon store anymore.
When we bought my Wife's Inc2 we went to Verizon first. They wanted $199 so out of blind luck we checked Costco, they had it on sale for $30! Best part was that Costco only taxes you on the actual price you pay whereas Verizon taxes you on the full retail price regardless of what you pay for the phone. Don't know how that works but its the case in California.
Also, since we are on the subject: If you pay with your Amex card you get an additional 1 year warranty on the phone. Said Inc2 stopped charging after 16 months of ownership. I called Amex and after answering a few questions we get the full $30 +tax credited to my account essentially making the ownership of that phone free. Good stuff.

Well its however you wanna pic your poison man lol the Note 2 is awesome and all and its super fast and feature packed but to drop that kinda money on it while you have an s3 thats able to root and unlock is hard to ignore Personally Im gonna wait till s4 comes out cause its looking like 5 inch screen and 1080p :good: But it all depends on what you do for a living and what you want your phone to do haha

Haha i may just buy one so i can trade phones off and on :silly: And i work for a premium retailer and dumb ass corp haha i hate those guys i try to preserve all the unlimited data plans i can
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:
