I am dying for a new phone, I love my Nexus One but need something newer. I really want to buy the SII Sunday, but don't want to get a phone that will be outdated in less than a month with the release of the Nexus Prime on GSM (rumors they it will be available). Anyone else in this same boat, also curious as to what the Iphone will have Oct 4.
I'm in the same boat, but I've been without a phone since March of this year.
I'm gonna go ahead and get the SGS2 but if the Holiday/Raider 4G or Nexus Prime (hasn't even been announced for AT&T) comes out I'm just going to take advantage of the 30 day return policy.
If it comes out in 31 days from October 2nd then I guess I'm screwed.
Is AT&T 30 days on return policy now? I thought it was 14

I must be thinking of Best Buy..... in any case, it would be more beneficial to pick it up from Best Buy if this is true.

Well if you go by that route might as well wait for the Galaxy S III. My point is get the phone that you like. The SGSII will be good for at least two years. I will probably get both. The SGSII for sure. If you are an Apple fan then you just have to wait once a year. So many phones so little time.

Get the S2. It'll be viable for a while. Everything regarding the Prime is just speculation, and there's no telling how long you'll be waiting.
"If you're always waiting for what's coming, you'll never buy anything."
. . . and you shouldn't even be considering the iPhone -_-
Buy nexus prime.
It is nicer than S2, super amoled plus hd screen, quicker cpu, ICS.

I posted this in another thread, but I was hoping you knew the answer to this as well:
ChaoticJapan said:
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 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?

After 30 days at Costco you are locked in to the 2yrs. The 90 days is return only. But what difference would it make? If you can exchange for another model why would the contract matter?

Are you sure? Is the 90 days just for a return or a full exchange? I wouldnt know how it would be possible for them to rehonor the 2yr pricing 90 days later.. thats a hugee loss
Anyone got this in writing?

Unless you're planning to move to VZW, no Prime for you. VZW's getting the Prime as an alternative to a SGS2 variant. Everything I've read says they have the U.S. exclusive for the device. I'd guess the exclusive would be for at least six months. I'm sure it'll have HSPA+ internationally so you could probably import one and use it on AT&T when it launches overseas. Canada might be an option too.

Just go ahead and get this phone. I just got mine. No wonder why the critics are going GaGa over this phone. I haven't played with all the options yet. But the UI and scrolling on stock rom is flawless.

Costco is 14 days to return phone and get out of the 2 yr contract. You have 90 days to return the phone for money back or exchange for different phone, but your contract is till enforced. AT&T mandates the 14 day contract buyers remorse.

AT&T IS and ALWAYS HAS BEEN 30 days for money back return and Costco 90. As for getting out of the contract BOTH are 30. Absolutely not 14 days. Read it right here: http://www.wireless.att.com/cell-phone-service/legal/return-policy.jsp

That has been a bone of contention. It seems to vary depending on what Costco you go into. Some CLAIM you can exchange others (I have read) say refund only. MY STORE (Union NJ) says you can exchange for another device. At least that was what the Kiosk manager was telling everyone who walked up without them even asking. However you would need to check with your specific store and see what they say. I personally know people who have EXCHANGED well after 60 days and not only at "my" Costco.
A non-corporate store can charge anything they want at any time for the devices. Why do you think some stores/websites sell for less? They can give them away for free 24/7/365 if they want. The only thing they are under "ATT control" is the actual contract and terms relating to the contract. As for the hardware, the non-corporate stores are on their own for pricing, refunds and exchanges.
All their money is on the "clawbacks" they get for selling the contracts.
Haha, yeah I understand that. I've worked in this business for awhile so I wasn't referring to the pricing differential from one company to another..
I was just wondering how costco would receive RMA credit after 90 days+serial age.. lol not important anyways. is all good.
but doesn't matter if they let you exchange then coo, win-win.
The iPhone is 14 days and any other phone is 30 directly thru at&t
What better of the Prime? only 5 megapixels camera.

I'm doing the same thing, however, I'm really liking this SG2! I have no complaints besides the lockscreen security issue, which should be easy to fix.
OK here's the deal. I am currently phone-less being I sold my GS2 in wake of the note. Now I have two upgrades due in May. My GF also wants a Note and she said she is more than happy with waiting. Me, I tried but I can't lol. Being smart phone less sucks. Not fun bringing my new Transformer Prime around and hoping for wif lol. So here are my options.
One of the upgrades is deff going to my GF. So that leaves one. I figured I could buy the note today for $650 and instead if paying early upgrade price of $550 saving my May upgrade for future phones like a SG3 or whatever. Or better yet I could buy a Note for $300 "full upgrade price" in May and eBay it and make some profit. I have went to all local ATT stores asking to upgrade early, but no go. Even tried customer service. Last year I got my GF a iPhone 4 early 30 days early, but they say they are much more strict now.
Basically should I just pay the retail of $650 and pocket my upgrade for the future? Or pay $550 and extend ans save $100, which seems silly.
I already told my GF I'd sacrifice my PS Vita if I was able to get the Note. I'm dying g to get one!
I also know $650 seems expensive. But I look at it as a investment. Being I would be able to sell it down the road if needed or wanted for at least 60% of my money back. And I'm not signing a contract extension. And I believe not having to pay the $36 new activation fee.
Thanks, I've been reading these forums all day yesterday. So ready for my Note!
Go to best buy they will price match at$t and you get rewards zone points, if you're a silver member they even have a 3x points coupon out now that's good through today.. 650 would get you 1950 points with coupon, equals almost 40 back in reward zone certificate.

Damn that's a good deal. I'd be all for that if I wasn't at 5 lines already in our family plan. 150 is a steal for the note! Lucky you
Exactly. I just went to google and typed in Samsung Note for sale in US and that link came up. I thought it was bs but the live chat lady actually said its a great deal and she'd walk me through it to ensure I get the $150 discount. Can't wait. Bye-Bye Skyrocket.
Man I'm always missing the great deals! Maybe I should see if I can return my note and get this deal!

It's still up there. I mean $150 is still $150. That's beer money, game money, etc.
I paid full price. Gonna get another new one in June when get full upgrade and give this one to the wife. By that time might be free upgrade. Then I can sell the international I just handed down to her.

Same here. I just got home and I got mine! Super happy, we had to stop at the grocery store and I was bumping into people playing with it lol.
I paid full price, gonna get my gf hers in may. And then save my other upgrade in case the galaxy s3 intrigues me. But I can't see it getting much better than the note, very happy with it thus far.
I just purchased mine for 150... I will try at&t service and determine if i will keep it.. If I decide i don't like it I will cancel my service and buy out my contract... 325... That's a total of 475 for the phone itself... Now that's a deal compared to paying 650...

I hear ya man, today was the first time I laid out full price for a device. I usually go full upgrade or early I must really love the phone
But in my case my other two lines are due for upgrade in may so my gf gets one. And the other I can save for a future "me" device . Or get a note and sell it for $600 on the bay with my upgrade. Thus means I got mine for $300.
We utilize 3-4 of our lines between me and my gf. Id like to drop one off as well and save the $10 a month.The other we give to her parents in the mid west. Otherwise I would have done the $150 deal.
The ATT reps were totally unaware of the 50% off deal too, go figure lol.
Of course they were. They don't know of any of the deals I ask about.
Pay full price. I've been selling almost 10 $500 per Note in Craigslist. Only $100 more from early upgrade
Maybe try another store I just bought a phone back in November when I signed up for At&t. I called the store and said I wanted to buy the phone outright and the guy said why do that when you can do and early upgrade because they were not able to sell the phone off contract at the time. Do you live on Los Angeles? The store I go to is really customer focused.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using XDA App
I paid $375
I just purchased one for $375, because my contract wasn't up until 08/12, so I had to do what they call an "exceptional upgrade". $300 for the phone and $75 for the early upgrade. I did it at one of those authorized AT&T stores, looks like the real store but they have their own price for early upgrades , compared to AT&T with their $175-250 fee. And now I see that premiere customers are eligible for 50% discount so I'll be calling them in the morning to try and get some kind of credit. Even though I really didn't spend any money because I sold my Skyrocket for $400!

I'll be buying mine outright. $100 difference between outright and extending my contract and losing out on my scheduled upgrade in July? Kind of a no-brainer.
I did an early upgrade and was expecting to pay $550. It rang up at $500. The rep didn't know why. My upgrade wasn't due until March of '13.
ReZound is 79.99 with an upgrade/2-yr agreement
Does anyone know if this is only online or is it also in-store...I'm planning on purchasing the phone tomorrow but the Verizon Store is far and the store is obviously closed by now (10:10pm here in South Carolina). Any help or quick response would be great! Thank you!
i believe it's online only as of now. it'll go back up in price soon, though.
Alright...dang...thanks though!
If you want the Rezound and have the contract the $79 is a great deal. I wouldn't be afraid of doing it online. When I ordered mine they even comped the shipping (I ended up having to fight for it after the fact but won the minor battle) but you can ask them on chat if there is anyway to get the shipping free. The process for activation is pretty easy. One thing to note - if you have a 4G phone that you are replacing it with - they will not send out the sim card automatically. But your local store has those and can fix most anything if things get messy.
I ordered mine online a few months ago when it was $50. Phone was here 19hrs later. Popped sim card in and away it went

I upgraded my Son's phone to the Rezound yesterday.. $79 + $30 upgrade fee = $109 which you pay upfront. He will have the phone most likely Tuesday.

Got mine from Bestbuy the other day. They matched the $80 price that Verizon had. I got $100 for my Inc 2 trade in. I got $50 freedom upgrade. That means I got $80 in my pocket as I left.
I think I beat you AshtonTS.
Go to Best Buy and ask them to price match, sell the beats earbuds because they're garbage and you've paid $30-nothing for your brand new rezound!
eh i paid $250 for mine on launch day..should've been 300, but on the website it said 250 because of a loyalty discount (not new every two because i was using an annual up anyway, so it was a weird unmentioned discount..)
i go int he store, ask if they can match it..at first they say no, so i'm like "ok i'll just go somewhere else that will, or order it online"
then another guy comes over and is like, well wait, lets see what we can do...turns out they were able to match it lol so maybe you can try in a store
Here's a question:
Why do American carriers charge such obscene amounts for cell phones?
For example, I can get an HTC One X with 5000 any network text messages, 2000 any network minutes, 5000 additional minutes when calling those on the same carrier and unlimited data (truly unlimited) for the equivalent of about $50 per month with NO upfront cost for the device (it's free).
I've seen adverts in the US that still ask for an upfront fee for the very outdated HTC Inspire and price plans that are laughable.

They are greedy.
Because the United States is roughly 40 times the size of the UK. Carriers figure they have to cover more rural geography while improving speed to satisfy customers in urban areas, particularly Verizon. Then pass the costs onto us.
Glad I got to pay a penny up front for my phone, but this two year contract without unlimited data is a steep price in the long run.
You seriously don't pay anything for your phones over in London, and get cheaper prices? Holy hell.... we get hit hard here in America. :-( Always a few $100 everytime we want to upgrade, unless we can hit a great deal, and even then... buying the phones the cheapest part of the process. I pay nearly $230 a month for 2 phones. *sigh*
My cheapest long term option right now is to buy a Note straight up. I haven't seen any place under VZW right now. I wanted to get one for around 600. Most of the ones on ebay are going for more than original price right now.
Any suggestions for is VZW price of 699 the lowest price?
VZW price is the lowest I have found. I am going to buy it at Best Buy though so I can put it on my Best Buy CC and get 18 months no interest.

Search this forum and you will find a few threads already but I would say Amazon wireless is the cheapest but it is out of stock as of now... Tax depends on your state of course.
Best buy will pm vzw, then open a cc account...they will knock $20 off, then if you opt to pay the full amount when bill comes in, they take 4% off. Not a bad deal.
I purchased mine at BB and they PMed VZW. Also 18 months no interest or 4% rewards points. I just checked Amazon and they have it in stock for 644.99 and free shipping

Best Buy Purchase
Hi everyone,
I see people have purchased their Note II through Best Buy using some 18 month 0% financing. Does this mean that you can pay installments of the full retail price of the phone?
My mom's current VZW plan that I am on only has one basic phone on it in which I plan to transfer someones upgrade on it to get the Note II. But if Best Buy does the installment payments, I'm going to figure out which is cheaper to purchase and which is cheaper to upgrade between the Note II and the iPhone 5, which my sister really wants.
Looking forward to advice/suggestions.
Thanks,

Yes you can make a min payment of $25.00 a month and as long as you pay it before the 18 months are up you pay no interest. Just don't be even a day late or BB will start charging you interest and you lose the 0 % financing. Also as of today you have to spend a min of $429.00

Well you'll definitely have to pay $429.00+ if you're going for either phone at retail value, lol.
Love using Amazon Wireless.. no tax in my state, 2day free shipping and 30 day return policy on the phone!... even returned my SGS3 on the 30th day and no problems what so ever
I bought mine off of craigslist for $500. Just gotta watch the listings and haggle with people. Always check the ESN before accepting any device. Just call Verizon tech support and they take care of it no questions asked. I swap phones every couple months or so and my TEP has remained in tact, no questions asked. I carried my TEP over from a Verizon Galaxy Nexus, an iPhone 5 and now to my Note 2.
Best Buy Financing
Just read up on the 18 month financing if making a purchase from Best Buy...You need a Best Buy Reward Zone credit card. I guess that's not an option anymore.
I just wanted to post this for all of you considering getting a new phone on AT&T, such as the One, S4, Blackberry, etc. According to what I have read, it looks like AT&T is starting a promotion tomorrow that will give an instant $100 or more credit toward a new phone of your choice when you trade in your old working smart phone, ( 3 years old or less). This may help in the decision making process for many people.

I just posted an article on this on our site! LOL It's a pretty good deal!
It will push me back into the store tomorrow. I was in the store today and almost bought one, but I wanted to consider it a little longer and wait until the weekend. I am done thinking about it, lol.
well i already traded in a phone directly through HTC for $100 and its gonna be for a visa prepaid card. plus you have to do this in store and they dont have the 64GB version available at stores. i guess its a good deal for those that missed the cutoff for the HTC deal though.

I actually signed up today and received a code. My 8525 qualifies for HTC, but not for AT&T.

What did you tell him that you got the $200 credit? I just signed up with AT&T a week ago and I still cant get my 36 dollar activation fee waived

Wow glad I came across this thread.. I'm locked in a 2 year contract with my s3 so this will definitely ease that upgrade fee
If I bought my One brand new from craigslist could I use this to get an S4 or another One?

Cool, so this is retroactive?
I got my One on release day, so still within the 14 days - if I go back to the store, they should credit me, right? I have a Nokia 900 that I would gladly trade in for an easy $100, lol.

An 8525? Wow. That is old. HTC was taking that for a trade in? I wish I would have known. I could have dug mine out of the drawer.
I had the One..exchanged it for the S4 and came back to the One. Anyone that that has the S4, should definitely get the One if you can, while the bootloader is still unlockable
I'd rather go on swappa or any number of other sites and sell my old kit for a lot more than $100 unless it's an old phone. Just about any decent, present day smartphone is worth more than $100. They're just catering to those who either don't know there options or don't want to deal with trying to sell on their own.

You could go pick up a cheap android phone from virgin mobile for $30-50. This would get you $50 off. I'm trying to find out what phones are eligible. I sell my stuff on ebay too, but a free $50 is nice to stick it to at&t

They've extended the offer, you still could.

I checked. They showed a $0 payment for an 8525. For a galaxy sII, they offer less than AT&T. But, Swappa is a better deal than AT&T.

From everything I've been told, it's $100 minimum.
Just wanted to say, bought my One two weeks today and went back to the AT&T store to see if I could get in on this promo. Not a problem at all, traded in an old HTC Inspire 4G and they gave me the $100 credit, which by request, they applied to my bill. What's great is, average selling price on eBay for the Inspire is around $80.

i just told them that i see that you guys have the trade in promotion going that you get 100 dollars for trading in your used phone. i actually read this thread wrong which is why i called inthe first place lol. because i thought they give you 100 dollars on top of what they already give you. the wife traded her iphone 5 and i traded a nexus 4. the rep gave me a 200 dollar credit no questions asked. probably because she can't see on her system exactly what phones we traded in.
