Hi,
So I saw that Walmart has Nokia 920 for $49.99. That's a pretty good deal - however, they do not include wireless plate.
Anybody know about the nokiafreecharger(.com) site and whether they will allow free chargers for deals like this?

On that site, maybe, but everyone buying them at at&t is getting a free charging plate.
You got the Lumia 920 for $49.99 at Wal-Mart.
This is only an AT&T promotion which you have to pay $99 to ge the wireless charging pad.

If you can't buy it at AT&T, buy it at walmat and use the $50 you saved to buy the wireless charger outright.
Funny thing, I looked at the attwireless website, I did not see they mention the free charging plate is exclusively for online purchasing. If you look at the fine print at the bottom, it says "Nokia Wireless Charging Plate Offer avail. until 1/10/2013 or while supplies last. New 2yr contract w/ qual. voice & data plans req'd to qual. for Offer." and this is what I saw in the description "for a limited time, included§ at no cost with purchase of the Nokia Lumia 920. I bought mine at the AT&T store, but if you purchase the phone somewhere else, I guess you can call customer service to ask for the charging plate at no cost.
I purchased mine from an at&t store for $450 outright with no contract. I tried arguing with the store manager about the free wireless charger but he wouldn't do it. So this morning I called customer service up and explained to them the situation, the lady was super nice about it and gave me a $50 dollar credit + taxes on my current bill. So I ended up saving close to $60 dollars.
Just FYI for those who didn't get the free charger.

I know the US model is coming out VERY soon but I really want to get this phone. Right now I am an infuse owner and was looking to just buy this outright since I used my upgrade on the infuse a couple months ago. Where do you guy recommend me ordering one? Or the one that seems to be the most reliable? I was looking at amazon and a few other site but just cant decide. Thanks in advance!
Amazon. Nowhere will you get a warranty (aside from Expansys USA which offers mail in warranty back to the UK).
Plus with Amazon, my box was sealed and I got a Brazilian model that's one of the first to get 2.3.4.

Was that ordered directly from amazon, or from a 3rd party store fulfilled by amazon?
Also, they have used-like new galaxy s2 for $629.99, that qualifies for SquareTrade.

Directly from Amazon (i.e. "ships from and sold by Amazon.com"). I'm not fond of resellers for unlocked phones. I once ordered a Nexus S I9020A (for AT&T's network) from a reseller on Amazon. Sure enough, I received an I9023 (European model - not compatible with AT&T). I promptly returned it. I just trust Amazon direct and don't like rolling the dice with 3rd part sellers.
Careful on the open box...I ordered an open box SGSII from Amazon and received a friggin Verizon phone (used and beat up). Some jerkoff stole the SGSII and returned the box with a Verizon phone in it. See my photo on the product listing.
I have never ever had any issues with Warehouse deals (open box) items from Amazon, but got burned pretty bad with that one. The good news is Amazon kindly credited my account for the return and even gave me a $50 credit, making a brand new SGSII the same price. Can't ask for more than that.
I bought my gs2 from Popular Electronics, who is based in Chicago. I live in Canada. Interesting experience with these guys. They have their store warranty, which is useful. I'm not sure how long that warranty is for. They ship free to the US too. Right now, the phone is cheaper than the one on Amazon. Plus, they have a "Low price guarantee" and will match any other prices anyway.
I'm from Canada. My first phone gs2 (brand new, fully sealed with seal sticker) was defected (hardware, touch screen didn't work lol). I called them and they gladly helped me with a replacement phone. I had to pay to ship it to them though 2nd phone, another hardware defect (line of dead pixels). Once again, it was brand new and fully sealed. They couldn't believe that of all the customers they've sold the gs2 to, I was the unlucky one to have 2 faulty phones. They took that one back too and sent me my current gs2 which runs perfectly smooth. If you call them, ask for Tahal (possibly spelled as Taha) He is the man!

If you mean this photo: (http://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-m...TBQ2C/ref=cm_ciu_pdp_images_0?ie=UTF8&index=0) I've seen it. With the difference of ~$30 or so, I think it is worth the risk...

Yep, that is my photo. Imagine how pissed I was when I got home, ripped the box open only to discover that...
As usual, Amazon made it right. It does piss me off that someone swapped it and made off with a SGSII. They probably paid like $100 on craigslist for that Verizon junk. Punk.
Absolutely crazy pricing. Seriously. Totally worth the wait. Well, not really, but the whole package is! AND with a charging pad!

That's amazing, with a charging pad too! What a keeper.
Quick question from someone coming from a rooted custom ROM android user (using Launcher 7 - WP7 interface lookalike - for my last 2 phones, Skyrocket and GNote). How is the tethering situation with those (light use <3GB, unlimited contract) Windows Phones?
I want that low light camera features.
Not worth it to me if it's locked and not a Penta even at those prices. I'll wait.

pentaband all the frequencies avaliable would work on any gsm network in the world you need a developer version they on ebay few ones only black tho 800+
All ordered! Black Nokia Lumia 920 ($99) with Black wireless charging plate (free). Additional $25 off total order as well. All set to go.
Just ordered two. My wife was eligible for an upgrade: $99 for the cyan Lumia 920 and a free black charging plate. My line wasn't eligible for an upgrade, but the price was only $449 for the no-commitment pricing if you do it with the online special! Went ahead and paid $49 for my own charging plate. That's definitely cheaper than the $599 Best Buy is charging. According to the information page, they should arrive Friday, Nov 9th via FedEx 2nd day, so let's hope AT&T stays on schedule. I'll have a new toy to play with all weekend.
$449 is not bad. I'd buy one if it had AWS 1700 and if there were a way to unlock it other than begging AT&T and waiting forever. Anybody know about those?
to those that got the charging plate, did you have to add it to your cart or something or is it just included? i can't find it on the site, but i've already ordered my white 920...
I've been reading comments on other sites about not seeing the charging plate. I tried finding it by completing a mock order on the regular AT&T site and the Premier AT&T site and it seems the charging plate is no longer listed as an option. Plus, you can't even find it to order it separately. Not sure what's going on with this. The free charging plate was for the black only. They had all Lumia colors (cyan, red, white, yellow, and black) listed for $49 for the charging plate and $69 for the charging stand (black only).
C'mon AT&T, you need to keep your customers up to date on what's going on. Furthermore, my order went through, then it said it was cancelled. I just got off the phone with them, and they said I have to bring two forms of ID to my nearest AT&T store to confirm the order. WTF is up with that? I NEVER had to do that before, and I've ordered phones for my account in the past with no problems both discounted and full price.
Ok so i got my Lumia 920 via Bestbuy Mobile but it's an ATT phone.
As far as i know i'm still supposed to get the free charging plate ( i know it's on back order atm)
But I have yet to get any confirmation as to if I'm getting a plate or not.... any ideas? I've been through customer support multiple times with limited success, they either don't speak English or don't have any clue about the promotion (its on ATT's 920 page in huge red letters -___-)
I had to called AT&T after I got my phone to place an order for the free charging plate, I never got any confirmation and 2 weeks later it just showed up.

So you just called ATT tech support and told them you bought a Nokia Lumia 920 from bestbuy mobile and you never got your charging plate? I've already called a few times but att said i have to go through bestbuy and bestbuy doesn't know anything about the promo

You request it directly through Nokia, but you have to wait 2 weeks for your IMEI to show up in their system (so they can be sure you don't take the phone back).

the link says for UK residents only can you confirm it is also for usa (and hopefully canada )

You know, I'm not sure, did Best Buy say anything about it when you bought it? I would contact them, I've bought phones through them and they are really good about taking care of you. I got mine today from AT&T by the way, so cool to plop it down and charge, look, no wires ma! lol

Bestbuy didn't say anything, they thought i had to go through ATT. Im going to bug ATT again today and ask for a free one if i give them the info for the phone(i still have the box and all that). I don't want to buy a 40 dollar charger im supposed to get for free :|
i think people who ended up buying from best buy had to force them to match the ATT offer to get it, ATT won't honor it unless you buy it from them iirc.
ATT was so confused about their own offer when they launched the phone though that i ended up with 2 free plates instead of one.
go poor planning!

well i got it via best buy mobile... so technically it's still through ATT, came with the ATT sim and ATT box and such. I don't see why it's so hard to get the damn order placed... i have the phone, i have the recipe, i have all the numbers corresponding to the phone.
ATT is still confused about the wireless charger offer. I spent 50min on the phone 2 days ago and they claim they couldn't order the yellow at all, so I had to order the black charger. To my surprise, it shipped same day and I received it within 24hrs. What sucks is they won't let me cancel my other order for a red one as I'm tired of waiting. I doubt it will ship this year which im getting more annoyed by the day.

I just got my charger plate today. I ordered red, but they sent me a black one along with a note stating:
"Thank you for your purchase of the Nokia Lumia 920. Please find your FREE wireless charging plate enclosed. Regrettably, due to the popularity of the Lumia 920 and inventory constraints this Holiday season, we are unable to fulfill your choice of color for the charging plate. We wanted to ensure that you got to enjoy all the great benefits of wireless charging before the Holidays."
I ordered back almost 1 month ago too.
Got mine today it was black too, have a red phone no big deal though, just glad I got one for free

I got my Lumia 920 and was told to re-order the wireless charger for free 15 days after the day I purchased on November 15, 2012. I called the ATT customer service on Dec 17. They told me that the wireless charger is not free and it is sold at 49 dollars. I was confused and the customer service told me that my account indicated 49 dollars to be charged for this wireless charger. Therefore, I just told them to cancel this order and credit this amount back to my account.
Mine came in black too with an apology letter, but I actually prefer the black charger

Hey everyone, I've been looking to get a gs4 lately and haven't had any luck finding any deals online or in stores for a full price phone. Does anyone know of a good deal for the white gs4 on Verizon? (no factory unlocked phones I want the Lte) any help would be appreciated.

Best deal I found was Costco. $200 with a two year extension of my contract which was nothing to me, I'd have stayed with VZW with or without the discount.
NOTE: The Costco kit also includes screen protectors, a pop on plastic case, a car/home charger and a cable for the charger.
I got mine at Dell. It was $160 for an upgrade and came with a $100 Dell e-gift card. There's a $50 gift card option for general public, while the $100 one is for Dell Advantage members (free to join). Also came with free two day shipping. Just gotta find a way around the $30 Verizon upgrade fee

I didn't find any when I got mine at full retail, other than I sent in the rebate just to see if they honored it like they did in the past even if I didn't re-up for the 2 years. However, it seems like they denied it this time, but I chatted with a rep who forwarded it to the 'corporate office', so maybe it will slip through the cracks... or I'll just get it completely denied. Other than that, eBay / craigslist is my only idea, unless you can find any verizon wireless gift cards at a discount, I didn't.
I got mine from Amazon, it listed it for $179.99. However, they didn't charge the $30 upgrade fee so all in all, it's $200.
Not too bad, imo.
In all honesty,anytime I shop for anything online, I google a coupon for that site. For example, I bought my Galaxy S4 through Wirefly the other day, and googled a Coupon. I found one that knocked $20 anything which helped (sort of) offset the activation cost!
Just try your local craigslist. I bought one that was just 2 weeks old with an otterbox defender in exchange for my S3 and $100. There were a few listed in the $400 range.
Well I'm trying to jump on the deal that Best Buy is doing offering a free wireless charging pad buy it only says "coming soon". Anyone have any luck getting a preorder through Best Buy?

noticed the same thing you can only preorder the s6 not the edge for some reason and they only show black white or gold. My brother in law works there he said to come in. so I'm heading to best buy at 3pm will let you know how it goes. I'm looking for green, blue or gold in that order lol
I just pre-ordered a 32GB AT&T S6 Edge in black. Make sure you add the charger to your cart to get it free. It won't do it automatically.

Don't think the charging pad is free...BestBuy is charging more than you can get it from the carriers directly. Just a ploy to get you to buy it from them first. So you are still paying for the charger. Think about it? $50.00 per order x how many orders = major $$$$$$

What? I just preordered a 64g S6 Edge online and got the $60 wireless charger added for free. It wouldn't let me choose the charger for pickup but says it'll be delivered for free on the 10th.
My issue is the platinum version says 'coming soon', but when I asked as CSR if I could preorder the black in the meantime and switch when available in order to get in on the charger she said yes. The charger is 'while supplies last' so I wasn't going to wait and pray. I'm going in to the store later today to check the demos so I'll talk to them later.

The 2 year contract and NEXT pricing options at AT&T and Best Buy are identical. Best Buy's unactivated price may be $35 more than the no-contract option at AT&T, but I've never had a problem getting Best Buy to price match a phone's retail price. Plus you get rewards points from Best Buy. I don't know where you are getting the $50 figure from.
