Hey guys, I just noticed in THIS thread that Best Buy has an offer going on where if you buy an AT&T or Sprint LGOG you should get a free headset with it.
From what it sounds like, it is a good headset.
I don't know when they started this or how long it will last, but it was confirmed still going on as of yesterday (1/5/2013).
If you bought an OG from Best Buy and didn't get a headset, you should be able to go in with your receipt and ask for the headset (others in the thread have been able to).
I have not been able to get mine yet, but my fingers are crossed.
Got mine today.
It didn't seem like well known information so I wanted to post it here, sorry if this is frowned upon.
HERE is the link to the offer from Best Buy.
Edit..............
You have to be within the 30 days that you purchased your phone.
Also, it is an online promotion, but they can match it in the store.
Just show them the link, they will pull it up.
Have them Google "best buy free headset with optimus g".
Just called BB.
They said the phone would have had to been purchased within 30 days.
Anyone know if you can redeem this at another best buy location? I'm now 6 hours away from home at school.

Should be able to do this at any Bestbuy with the mobile section. Just bring your receipt.
Thanks, bleached. I will have to double check, though pretty sure I will be eligible.

Also print it out and/or be ready to pull up that screen for them on your phone or on their computer. Sometimes they don't know what promotions they are running on their website.
Thanks for the heads up. Just printed out the link for backup and will take it up there tomorrow since I bought mine 12/9/12. Just in time.

From my thread in the Sprint forum:

Just went to BB and got my free headset (was within the 30-day window). Had to wait over 45min because they couldn't bring this deal up on their own internal website and showing them the site on my phone wasn't good enough. I used their own computer to go to XDA, hit the link provided by bleached45, and showed them the deal was legit.
Well worth the wait. Thanks for posting this deal bleached45! :good:

Yeah, I just went in to the store.
It is an online promotion but they will match the deal in store.
I just got my pair.
Typical BB, I probably talked to a person that knew what they were doing at the store. I chatted with BB online and was told to go to the store, return my phone, and when I repurchase the phone, I get the headset. What? I think that person made that up as we were chatting.

I'd try at another BB. I got my headset at the store one night and did not know of the free headset promotion. I read about it online and went back the next day and brought up that screen on their computer to show them and received the headset for free.
If the employee at the store told you that it's an online promotion, that is BS. They probably don't know what they are doing or are too lazy to do it. Ask to speak to a manager. If all else fails, try another BB. Good luck.
This sucks for me. I'm over 30 days but, I did order online and was considering getting the tones.

Just got mine, too. Had to get the store manager involved but polite persistence paid off. 2 things- as stated must be within last 30 days and store must have one in stock. You can check availability at BB website.
Yea I will give it another shot at a different store tomorrow. It will be 30 days then. The store I tried today was the closest one that had it in stock.

Noticed you are in Dallas... that is where I got mine... (Midway @ LBJ) it is the only store I am aware of ( in D-FW) that has any left. As I left, there were 8 more, White box in Cell phone area. Good luck. !!
I just picked up my new LGOG this afternoon armed with the knowledge that the advertisement for the LG Tone headphones is still on the Best Buy site. The employees couldn't find it anywhere on their books or searching the site themselves. After several minutes of them searching, I hopped on one of the laptops on display and Googled "Best Buy free bluetooth headphones optimus" and it came up as the first link. The guys saw it and honored it. At least at this store (Winston-Salem), they seemed fine with it, as long as it was somewhat legitimate. My guess is that there was just one page that didn't get cleared from the BestBuy.com site from when the promotion was going on. But, it's their mistake and they should honor it. I suspect they will catch on sooner or later and remove it. I also suspect that they don't sell many of these, so it might take some time before they bother.
Apparently, I'm the first one to buy the LGOG that either of the employees recalled. They didn't even know that the Rocketfish cases they had labeled for the AT&T version were actually for the Sprint (they were shocked that they were even different sizes).
Confirmed took my phone to bb they exchanged it and threw in the headset and a penny back. Took a lil sarcasm but eventually they went ahead and matched their own online promotion

Alright fellas, since I have already got 12 of the TP's I will give you all a giant tip. There is one store that has at least 3 in every store I've been too. The price is higher but the do price match and come with a carrying case which best buy TP's don't. Head to your local Aaron's Sales and Lease. Do not tip them off that you want to buy all their stock if you call to check on quantity otherwise they will just say they have one. Aaron's typically will lease these out at $50.00 per month for a year and they like to make money just as much as the next Joe. I personally made the mistake at the first store but learned my lesson after this.
Please do not ruin this for everyone by calling every Aaron's store and telling them you will buy "their stock" and tell them the price drop over the phone as they are oblivious to it at this point. Once the employee learns of the drop in price they will magically end up reserved when in reality they will buy them and sell them. I want to see my awesome devs here on the Evo 3d forums get them before others, hence the post in these forums and not the HP Touchpad forums.
Good luck, and once again call and ask if they have "1" in stock. Drive, walk, fly, and or skip to the store, but do not ask total stock until you are in the store and ask them to price match Best Buy or you will fail (i experienced this in the first store).
My local Aaron's only had 1 in stock and it was used and heading back to a "shop" to get it fixed.
Almost.
Called and they had some coming in but retailed at $899. I assume they price match? Because that is ridiculous. Went ahead and put my name down and figured it is worth a shot at this point.
Unless you are in a small town there should be plenty of stores. I just realized also stores similar to aarons like rent a center may carry them also. It's worth a look.

Sorry this is a dumb question, I called my local Aarons and they have some, so I'm going to head up there when I get a chance to get away from my desk, but I'm confused at how this place works. They charge you monthly if you wanna rent-to-own, but can you buy them flat-out too and they'll price match? So I should be able to bring in a print-out from best buy or hp.com and I'll be able to walk out with one at $149 or $99?
I just called and placed one on hold for tomorrow. Aarons is a rent to own store, correct? They will just let you buy one outright for 99.99? Will they price match even if best buy is out of stock? I always thought they would have to at least be available for the competitor to price match.

I found some stores by me that have stock. Some of them are in more "rural" areas and lemme tell you, those people are a fack ton nicer and polite that the dikheads in blue at worstbuy. Very helpful. They def have no idea whats gong on with the fire sale. They said they were out but unloading a truck as we speak and 6 are on it. They are even holding some for me! Hopefully it goes through. The toughest part is going to be price matching. Here are links to online retailers sites if anyone is interested..... (I'm not trying to sell or solicit anything with these links MODS, just posting them as leverage for fellow XDA'ers to use in price matching, no banwagon plox)

I think you got lucky with the employee you spoke with. When I called the woman I spoke to was trying to get all my info over the phone to start a contract on the touchpad. She seemed kind of aggressive. I hope she doesn't give me a hard time. I just want to purchase one, not all.

I just got my rezound from Amazon wireless. I love the phone however I.have the light leakage and its already overheating. Do I.need to send it into Amazon or can I return it at a local Verizon store? I I've read both circumstances happening. Just wondering if anyone else has done either yet. Also if u send it in can u get a loner? This is my first Verizon phone. Thanks
I think you have to use amazon for the first 30 days then you can use verizon. It may be worth it to put up with it until verizon can help you.

Any way to confirm this. I suppose I can call tomorrow.I'm.stuck in class right now. If that's the case ill def wait the 30 days
I got both a Rezound and RAZR from Amazon. The Rezound is great, but I had some serious issues with the RAZR overheating and searching for signal. Called Amazon, they shipped me a brand new phone. Swapped SIMs, mailed the old phone back. Problem solved, and it didn't cost me a dime. Think shipping was 2nd day air.
EDIT: I also tried VZW first, because it would have been quicker, but they directed me to Amazon.
So they send one first... Have the replacement phones been without flaw or is it the same gamble. Might be better to wait the 30 days and use Verizon so I can check it...

Amazon is excellent for returns/exchanges hands down. I assume it will be the same process you request an exchange and they ship it out to you. They generally gave me overnight shipping for free (even on a saturday) to get me non-defective item. Then you just ship it back to them within a resonable time frame with the included label and you should be good to go.
You guys do realize Amazon will send you a brand new phone and if you wait 30 days Verizon cannot swap in store and will send you a refurbished phone thru the mail.

Verizon has a 14 day policy normally, but now if you purchased the phone after 11-15 you have until Jan.
Wouldn't the phone have a warranty through htc as well? Sounds like ill be contacting Amazon tomorrow though. Thanks a lot guys. Hopefully that one doesn't have the light leak. Lol watch me have a new problem. Is rather have the leak than pink buttons and all the other problems I hear about...

I'd be willing to bet that it was a CSA who probably doesn't understand what light leakage is. Between my 3 rezounds and everyone I have looked at in the stores you can see the LEDs through the bottom of the screen when the soft keys light up which is what is causing the bleeding. There is no way to fix it except by turning off the LEDs or by lowering their intensity to improve on the light leak.

Went into verizon and they won't take the phone tho it sounds like I may as well deal with it. They really pissed me off though. I wanted to put on my work discount. Supposed to be 22% line 20% data. I called and reviewed online before I got verizon and the rep told me I would get the discounts. The store wouldn't discount my data because he claimed I need to have a 5gb data and hotspot plan. I was never told this and most likely wouldn't have canceled at&t during the penny sale. Anyone think I could complain enough to get this changed? Can't seem to find a phone number for them to save my life lol

Three, actually. I know it sounds like spam, but I'm dead serious guys. I also know that this really belongs in member found deals, but I wanted my photon family who's helped me so much to definitely see it. Anyway, details.
Staples has three iomega hard drives on clearance in the store. Well, I happened to get email coupons for those same three hard drives that offered more off than the total purchase price (yes, the coupons are valid on the clearance price), making them free. I have personally used all three and shared them with family members - they work over and over again.
One staples I went to didnt show one of them as being on clearance, but when they checked it was after all. I can't guarantee that they're all on clearance everywhere tho.
Two are attached as screenshots directly from my staples app. The third is a link as I had to hunt it down this afternoon - it had mysteriously disappeared from my app since last night. Hope they work for you guys. Enjoy!

Damn, that sucks. The two stores by me ran out of stock before anyone caught on I guess. Still worth a try I think, especially the other two, since I know the coupons weren't pulled from the website until about 3 or 4 hours ago.
I hope someone gets one or two at least before the coupons quit working.

I kinda thought that myself. I figured they had to and that was why the coupons started disappearing so no one else could use them.
They had all three coupons at the service desk, so I don't know. The one by me is not very big or busy so I don't know why. They just said to come back next week with an updated coupon. I'm going to try another store today or tomorrow

My wife and I went into the ATT store in our neighborhood Saturday for her to pick between a SGS4 and a One, and see if we could get her an early upgrade. She's not due for an early upgrade until July and her Samsung Infuse is not performing well anymore and we wanted to take advantage of their trade-in offer. After waiting for about half an hour and haggling with a sales associate and the manager, the were not convinced and we left empty handed. A co-worker put me up to calling customer service and after explaining the situation and our in-store experience and a brief hold, the rep came back with some awesome news! She was approved to not only let my wife have the early upgrade, but a FREE upgrade to the black 64GB! And just to sweeten the deal, she threw in free overnight shipping!!! We're expecting it to arrive tomorrow. I think i'll keep the black one and let her have my silver 64GB.
All of those TMOUS and VZ subscribers who say ATT has terrible customer service have no idea. I have been with ATT since 2006 and have never needed to call customer service. This is not bad for a first experience!
West exactly did you tell the rep?

I simple told the Rep that I need my upgrade 2 months early because my current phone wasn't working for me anymore. she understood my problem and said retention department could help me. Five mins later she came back and said since I was nice and in good standing that she could approve my upgrade and wave my upgrade fee. I need a larger screen due to losing most of my eye sight in an accident she said the only draw back was I'd have to pay for whatever phone I wanted right then . So I told thanks and then spoke with her supervisor letting him know how great she was. Being very decent is the key even if you need to speak to a supervisor ask nicely and erasure the Rep that you understand that she help as much as they could. So I paid for my phone and they shipped it out ocernight. Be patient be pleasant they get ****tiy people calling all the time so it helps to be nice.

Co-worker got a similar deal. His problem was that the online system would cancel his order immediately after completing it. It happened twice. He called not to complain, but simply to order the phone and got it free with free overnight shipping. His account was eligible for an upgrade, though.
The store manager has the power to give u an early upgrade within 30 days of the eligible date. Its funny BC some managers will say well it has to be in the same calendar month or ah it's gotta be within 14 days. U got lucky!

Hello,
I've had the MOST DIFFICULT time locating this phone. No one has them except Corporate Sprint (and Verizon) stores, at least in my area. It seems that Best Buy decided this is a phone they will NOT stock in stores...ever. I have called and visited over 5 Best Buy or Best Buy Mobile stores. None of them have it, and none were able to order it. I ordered it from BestBuy.com on release day, with a promised delivery by Monday, November 18. Well, I got an e-mail basically saying it was out of stock, and they expect to receive and ship orders within 30 days. I called Best Buy Mobile and spoke with a representative, who transferred me to a manger to find out more. The manager then called HTC for availability information, but HTC said "You need to call Best Buy." So then I called HTC and spoke with a representative, who transferred me to a manger. They called Best Buy to find out more information, and Best Buy said "You need to call HTC." PATHETIC. Between the two companies, SOMEBODY has to know when these phones will be in stock. And if they knew they didn't have any to begin with, they should have listed "backordered" on the website, and not "Add to cart."
Then today I called Wirefly.com and placed an order with them, and after giving all my information and going through all the steps with the representative, it turns out they, too are out of stock!! I opted for expedited shipping, in hopes to get it before Thanksgiving. But Wirefly.com says they "expect" to have more info on availability within 72 hours, but I don't trust them at all.
What is going on!? Is it just me, or is this the worst HTC product lunch ever!? I've heard (rumor) that they are trying to pull a card from Apple's deck, and create a false sense of demand. I'm a fan, and I've upgraded to a new HTC phone every year for the past 7 years, but I'm no idiot. I know HTC has neither the popularity nor the market share of Apple or Samsung. Not even close. So why is this phone so hard to acquire? For now, I'm going to leave both my BestBuy.com and Wirefly.com orders pending until one of them ships and they confirm it by sending a tracking number, then I'll cancel the other.
Side Note: For those wondering "Why don't you just buy it from the Sprint store?" I want to buy it from Best Buy because they have it for $250, plus they will give me a $50 gift card for upgrading through them, so that results in $200. Also, I like the advantages of the My BestBuy program. Wirefly had them for $200, which I would have been okay with getting it there. Sprint is asking $250, and they seem unwilling to match any of the others' offers. I'm going to try a different Sprint store tomorrow, where I know one of the managers. Maybe he will be willing to match Wirefly.com's offer. I'm tempted to order from Amazon.com, but I fear I will get the same "backorder" nightmare.
Any help is appreciated...
Yesterday,trade it,miss my note 2 ?
Where did you get it?
My local Verizon store had it in stock on launch day. I did get the same run around at Bestbuy before going to the VZW store. I too was a big fan of my note 2 and the jury is still out on the Max but I like it for now.

It's a Global Phone meaning it has the radios to do it. But knowing verizon it will be locked.
On a side note: Please don't post the same question on every thread in addition to the thread you already created. It's impolite.
I have seen this asked in several threads as well as a dedicated thread for it. If your not a noob then why aren't you using Search. You can always refer to your previous post about the same thing in the at&t thread.

If You like custom roms and mods no If You dont yes
Where? Sprint Store
When? The Saturday (1 or 2 days after it was released?)
How? I asked to be notified by email of when it was coming by way of the HTC One Max coming soon landing page for Sprint. They did, and the page asked if I wanted to check my upgrade eligibility, so I did, and qualified for the One Up promotion, but it involved setting up an appointment to go into a authorized store. This was on a Friday. I made the appointment for Saturday, and waited all of about 7 minutes and they started the ball rolling.

Impossible. You must mean $100 and a two-year contract.
