A deal came across that I could not turn down someone was selling a brand new 55inch 3d smart tv and a 3d bluray player with 2 pair of 3d glasses for a $1,800 dollars I said all I had was $1,000 truth is I had $400 bucks on me and my note and after 15 minutes they called and told me they would take the $1,000 so I put my note on Craigslist and sold it in a half hour and I know I got a good but I miss my note and I was wondering do I get another note this week when I get paid or do I wait for the gs3?
If I was you I would wait for the Galaxy Note 2.

I'd say resell the 3d TV. They were getting rid of it for a reason.
Then buy another note.

they sold me the tv because they really needed the cash the tv is 2 months old i have the original receipt and the tv is still under warranty
Enjoy your new 3d smart hdtv while you wait for the HTC One X or the GS3.
Where is the receipt from? Best Buy?
You might not have a sweet a deal as you think, because there have been some great specials on the Samsung UN55D6900.
And as far as him having the original receipt, you can get an original receipt for anything. You buy whatever item you want a receipt for at full retail price using your credit card, get and put the receipt somewhere, then take it back to the store and say you lost the receipt but you purchased it using a credit card. They check the purchase using the credit card and that's it, you just returned an item but kept the original receipt.

While a valid point, I don't see anyone going through the trouble to do this for something as large as a television. I can see it being on sale and being flipped on Craigslist but not the original receipt method, unless someone (and I know these people exist), was very dedicated.

Yea I even took the receipt back and got the extended warranty on the tv the fact is I know the people and remember them buying it they are not strangers they even saved all the original packaging and I figured it would be easier for me to get another note then it would to get a tv like this ya know
My brother actually sold his 4s today and got a note and I rooted it for him and hooked him up with all the best apps and games it felt good holding it again makes wanna go get another but I am curious about the gs3 dose anyone know if it has a release date?
I cannot justify paying more than 1000 for any TV
Than again people tell me the same thing about smart phones

Just be careful of watching in 3D for too long you can get a massive headache. And 3D is not recommended for small children under 7, it could permanently damage there eyes.

No brainier for 1,000 with the free BD player and glasses included. If you need an extended warranty I suggest squaretrade through Costco. 99 for 3 years, it doesn't matter if you bought the TV there or not or whether you are a member or not (they charge an extra 5% to non members)

Thanks a lot I'm going to check this out

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.

Sometimes when I need a hard drive or something RIGHT NOW to fix a down piece of gear, I'll stop there to get it. Hearing the "lies" they tell people sometimes just makes me want to yell RUN! QUICK! Before you get ripped off!
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

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.
So I'm curious, am I the only one nuts enough to considering selling his GS3(probably on ebay) for the 4-500 price to get Note 2?
I've recently gotten an itch for a tablet but don't see the need of one when I've got my phone and really think this would be a nice in between for the two.
Lots of people have just look through the other threads and you'll see a ton.

I'm actually a salesman for a VZW Retailer, I'm waiting to see how the rest of this week goes before I make the decision.
sold my s3 yesterday for $400 - gnote on the way. UR not crazy
Definitely the right choice. The pen changes everything…if you like retouching and doodling
Gs3 sold last month and have been using this stupid iPhone ever since preordering.
I am also definitely selling my s3 for the Note 2. My only problem is i don't have a back up phone and have to buy the Note first before I can sell my s3. How are you guys selling it for $400. Mine is absolutely mint and everyone on CL low balls at around $300. If i can get $350 i would be happy since i bought mine at full retail.

Price it for $395 with many CLEAR pics. Mine sold in 15 minutes with the guy coming to me. Also, if you need an interim phone, buy a thunderbolt and a sim adapter. I paid $50 for my thunderbolt on CL. Many are going for $80 - $120. You can just resell it when done and lose your $3.00 sim adapter investment
If you sell on ebay be sure to make it known that you are verifying the condition of the device with photos and video before shipment. That will discourage the scammers from trying to swap with a busted device and then sticking you for the money. Or even better when they break it within the first day and try to claim you sent a a damaged item.
Otherwise you can get burned because ebay will usually side with the buyer on any dispute. I learned the hard way with a previous smart phone sale. Took a month to get my money back along with a busted phone.

Just know that on eBay you have a lot more in fees, even if it sells for $50 more on eBay most of that will end up being paid to eBay/PayPal anyways.

So i work for verizon and the Note 2 just came in and man this is awesome its quick and everything and i believe bootloader is locked. Also im making vinyl stickers to cover up that damn branding they will be on amazon soon $5 for 5 in white or grey If devs or anyone needing info on it just ask ill try my best :fingers-crossed: But this may be my new phone :good:
I played with it today and I realllly like it. I dont even care if the bootloader is locked. I have an n7 for hacking lol

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.

Hey guys, just sold my one x today and ready to get an optimus g. So excited and cant wait. Where is the best place for me to get one off contract? ebay? craigslist?
I got mine off fleaBay, but I can't say where the best place to get one is. If you already have service with AT&T, it might be worth it to buy it unsubsidized through them. That way you get both LG's warranty as well as AT&T's. Amazon didn't have any for sale off contract (not sure if they do now yet) but if they did, that's the route I'd have gone. Buying through eBay can be sketchy. I got lucky to get a good unit (knock on wood) from a seller with a super high positive feedback percentage. It's still a risk though. If it goes belly up, I have to try to get LG to honor the warranty, which might be a struggle. Craigslist is strickly "as is" with no hope of any remedy other than buying a new one if anything happens to it, but if you get a good enough of a deal it may be worth the risk.
TL;DR: It all depends on how much you're willing to pay for peace of mind.
picked mine up sunday for 487 including tax at the att store. includes warranty and return period, if I was an idiot it would also include the option to insure the phone. mostly outperforms my tegra3 device with two cores tied behind its back (eco mode)

Your eBay receipt should work. I know it will for the SquareTrade extended warranty.

Thanks for your replies guys, i think ebay is my best bet. Im willing to spend up to 400 max, not to say it isnt worth more cause im pretty sure it is, but with the nexus 4 back in stock on the play store, its either an optimus g at 400 bucks or less ( the optimus is the one i really want) or i just get another nexus 4. Thanks guys!
Picked up mine brand new off of craigslist from a guy who gets a hefty discount for 175. It was from best buy.
I got a good deal on mine off of Craigslist. Traded my skyrocket plus 150$ I bought my skyrocket on Craigslist for 200. So basically add that 200 and 150 so I paid 350 for it. Not to bad really.

Sorry dude. I just sent the prince of Nigeria a large sum of money. Maybe when he gives it back which he promised to do, I'll take you up on that offer.

Nope. In emporia Ks. Lol. Can pay by PayPal or whatever u would like. Any unsecured payments like money order or whatever I would provide tracking info before you have to send payment. This is a hundred percent legit. Got good feedback on eBay and some other forums as well.
Please use this thread to discuss devices other than and any comparisons with other devices on or about the Note III in this thread and any other off-topic issues that are not needing a new thread.
Post with respect, this is a helpful community, hope we all learn from this stuff in here.
Was the only customer in my local Sprint store this morning. They took over an hour because they were having problems with the new Note 3 and new One Up program. Got it back at home though now. Absolutely LOVE it!!!!!
Good luck to everyone getting it this morning! If you're also using the One Up program then be prepared to wait. They said no one else had been able to do it yet. I was thrilled that they were for me. I was willing to wait all day if I had to though! Lol

My experience was not that bad considering I did a number swap with my girlfriend. Essentially she got my S3and I took her EVO 3D to do the One up. I did the number swap Friday the 4th so I actually couldn't do the One up til the next day. Went in at 9 was out of the store before 9:15. Compared to my S3 the N3 is a beast all its own and I love it.

Note 3 versus Galaxy Mega
Hi, I'm thorn between the Note 3 and the Mega. I know the Note 3 has a faster processor, more memory, ram and better screen resolution. currently I have the Note 2. I need the biggest screen I can get. don't use the Spen too much so no need of it. Anyone have tested the Mega?
A heads-up that Amazon just got the black model in stock -- I got an email saying that my earlier order has shipped, and it shows 2 more in stock currently. http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Galaxy-Note-Black-Sprint/dp/B00FJ8WBJG/ref=pd_sim_sbs_cps_1
Price is $299.99 for an upgrade, and they don't charge tax to most states (including IL), plus my Chase Freedom card is offering 5% cashback from Amazon purchases this quarter... so my bottom line is $285... pretty good, I'd say.
--
Well shoot, I see that the upgrade price is now $249.99! I'm chatting with customer service now to see if I can get a credit.

My order has been changed to reflect the new price! FYI, amazon's price match policy on cell phone purchases - http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html/?nodeId=201077510

At the link I pasted. Choose individual or family account, and the option "I have a Sprint account and want to upgrade my current device to this one" gives a $249.99 price either way. Are you seeing something different?

I would like to know as well. It would be nice to get some of my money back.
Just a heads up to anyone considering moving from the HTC One to this phone should do it. I loved the speakers on the One but the battery life, screen size, and expandable storage are completely worth the switch. I'm really loving this phone and I use the stylus and S-Notes way more than I ever thought I would.

I just ordered it through Amazon online. I chose a random plan and called Sprint to activate it and keep my same plan before turning it on. Worked like a champ on this phone and my previous phone two years ago.

Ok... I was eligible for an upgrade so I went to Amazon and picked the Note 3 for Sprint. Sero obviously isn't a plan Amazon offers, so I chose one of the plans they do offer and ordered the phone. The phone showed up the next day. Before turning it on, I called Sprint and said I bought a new phone and want to activate it, but stay on the same plan. They said no problem and activated it. Done.
Two years ago when I was eligible for an upgrade that was the method Amazon told me to use if I wanted a plan they didn't offer. Just in case it didn't work, I didn't turn on the phone until I had confirmation from Sprint it would work.

Note 3 vs HTC One Max?
I picked up my Note 3 on 10/5 and have 14 days to return. I'm thinking about checking out the HTC One Max but the non-removable battery may be a deal breaker for me.
Note 3:
My Cons:
Call quality is so bad
I rarely use the SPen (only to show off) so it's useless
hardware power button moves around alot (super minor)
WatchON and My Magazines sometimes pops up with it not responding (I don't use them)
My Pros:
Screensize/resolution is AMAZING (I came from an S2 Lol)
Battery life: WOW. I stream Pandora all day, utube, txt/emails, and I can still get about 24 hr usage with my HEAVY use.
SD Card slot
Removable battery: Awesome for traveling
Charging: WOW. charges from 0-100 in about 2 hours and 30m
HTC One Max(rumored specs) :
My Cons:
Battery: Non-removable battery???? May be a deal breaker for me.
Size: It was looking to be 5.9 view-able but now they think it will be the same 5.7 as our note 3? The phys size looks like it might be half an inch or so bigger then the Note 3. Will be disappointed if the view-able screen is 5.7 instead of 5.9.
My Pros:
If screen-size will be 5.9, this will put me one step closer on making me want to switch.
Similar battery life as the note 3
SPEAKERS!!! I'm a media person, and stereo/front speakers might push me over the top to switch.
Just minor things that I've though about. Please let me know of your thoughts!
10/18 will be the last day I will be able to undo my note 3 purchase with no penalties (besides the $35 restocking fee). I think the HTC One Max will come out on 10/15 as rumored so I'll be trying it in store to get a better feel of which phone suits me best.
How were you able to retain your sero?

Once he physically got the phone, he called and just activated the phone on his current plan, which is a SERO.
WTF is a sero
