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.
My s3 is pending pickup tomorrow

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.

you should be able to get 400 easy...hell gs3's with cracked screens are going for 300. Ignore the lowballers!
That's good to hear and know. Maybe ill try ebay. I hate not having the instant cash but just saw a blue s3 going for $405 with multiple bids and like 2 days left. I mean my accessories in the box and still in their plastic.

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.

I sold a Nexus 7 16gig for $120 and a iPhone 4 for $120 yesterday but I was impatient. If I was smart I would have off loaded that Nexus 7 a few months ago. Still a nice tablet hands down but I want to focus on one device and that's the Note 2.
Folks who are getting the Galaxy Note 3 on Sprint who aren't being scared off by the FUD being spread in the triband thread, here's our own discussion topic!
Now that Sprint has officially announced the Galaxy Note 3 launch on October 4, let us discuss! It's kind of strange they haven't set up pre-orders yet. This leads me to believe they probably won't. With a little over a week left until the launch, it appears that those who order online won't be able to get it until October 7th/8th. Also heard rumors that Sprint won't have the pink option or 64GB version available. It sucks but oh well. At least 32GB is the base model this year!
What color are you getting?
Are you getting the Galaxy Gear smartwatch too?
Accessories?
-I'll be getting black, since white has LED light bleed.
-No Galaxy Gear
-I have two bumper cases (clear and white/black) and a crappy S-style tpu kickstand case with a few screen protectors. I'm not sure If I will get the flip cover yet.
Are you guys excited? I sure am!

I bought my SGII Epic 4G Touch through them back in 2011. I bought it for the same price as directly from Sprint while convincing them to give me a discount equal to the activation fee (~$36) - essentially to "waive" it. I also accumulated some best buy reward zone points
Best Buy is a fine option when purchasing on contract if you can find a deal. I'd probably look elsewhere for off-contract and full-retail purchases, though.

I have been doing a time analysis of how (email, calendar, social media, video's & gaming, music) and where (location) I use my phone the most etc..
I have come to the conclusion that the places where I happen to use my phone the most and during its most intense use of bandwidth also happens to be the places in which I have access to great wifi signal. I know this isn't how most folks use their phones but its really how I use my phone and when I don't usually have a great signal. I just pop out my mifi and I am having a great signal once again. Is it irritating that Sprint dropped the triband? Yup and Yup. Is it a deal breaker for me to go to a slower and smaller phone? Nope and Nope..
The things that I am more interested in hearing about is
What Dac are they using for the audio processor?
Can I use usb 3 as a digital for my audio amp?
What will the transfer speed be on my USB3 HD which is running a 500gb SSD
Battery life
Has anyone been able to use a 128GB sd card in the unit, and have it recognize all 128GB?
What screen protector works best in direct sunlight.
I wonder how the charging port lines up compared to the Note II. Hoping I can still use my Note II car cradle and charger

The Note 3 for Sprint will be a world phone. Love it!
So after 3 years and 4 months since I've owned Sprint 4g phones, a new tower in the area went live with LTE. Here's to hoping it doesn't take another 3 years for the tower near my home to be upgraded. I'm ready for my Note III....

just so you know. I havn't had a problem with best buy increasing price for products but if that is the case, they price match with the carriers. they also give you the lower price for pre-orders. for example if you order an item and its fairly certain it will retail for say $50 and then release rolls up and it is $60 they will sell it to you for the $50. you may just have to mention it to the employee checking you out but the managers know whats up.
Can't link to BB price match due to new user =) but google "Best buy price match" and it will be the first link
I have had to mention the PM once and the employee just had to get the manager to sign off on it which he had absolutely no prob doing. took maybe 2 min after I had mentioned it. then the lady behind me did the same thing because she was there for the same product for her son I would assume. (high end gaming headset)

I contacted the owner "Corey" from Trim Leather.
And he says he will have a line of cases out within 2 weeks for the Galaxy Note 3.
I know someone who has an Iphone case and the work is pretty awesome.
This will be my case for the GN3.
I have linked his page to the below.

More like he is probably busy getting his device. Has anyone ever dealt with best buy with an upgrade before. They usually sit on hold with at&t customer service forever especially on release day. Patience I'm sure he will let is know when he can.

I actually don't care if Best Buy has any cases in stock and never upgraded or anything at Best Buy before simply because I don't want to deal with 3rd parties when my account is involved.

Just a quick FYI for you guys, I have not visited my local Best Buys (Milwaukee, WI) but I did call a couple and they said
they did not get any Samsung cases in at all for the Note 3. This would make sense since they seem to be back ordered everywhere.
This might be the first time I can remember recently that the cases were out of stock but the phones were not.
My local Best Buy did not have any accessories for the Note 3.
No official Samsung accessories at my local Best Buy but they did have the Platinum case branded Seidio kickstand case with belt clip.

Went to Best Buy on Thurs, Samsung dept guy told me they'd have cases in on Friday. Went back Saturday, nothing. They never came in. FWIW, also checked out an AT&T store, Sprint, and Frys. Nobody had anything.
I ordered a tempered glass for my screen from Amazon but it's not here yet so I went to best buy and they had zagg invisible shields for the note 3. So pick up one of those til my tempered glass gets hwre.

I returned the two cases I bought at T-Mobile, that Tech 21 stuff is way overpriced especially for a folio case with no window at 45 dollars and a tpu for 35 bucks lol. I'm surprised BB doesn't have anything yet since they are selling the darn phone for 4 different carriers, I don't mind paying that kind of money for a case but it better be a name I can trust like Otterbox, Speck, Seido or BodyGlove. Went to Samsung site and even their S-View cases are on backorder, man I thought the G2 was going to be a ***** to get a case for but they had plenty of choices compared to this.
Its probably going to be a few weeks before any of the Sammy accessories roll in to BestBuy.

The Tech21 case isn't bad TBH but it just makes the phone too wide and tall! I know it's for that edge protection but still. A Speck Candyshell Grip would be far better for the same price!
I remember reading a lot of Samsung backplates when the note was announced. To date I can't find these any where, in store or on the internet. It looks like they haven't been released yet. Is there a time for this?
I asked the same question a week ago nobody has any idea apparently.
Accessories for the Note 3 have taken an extremely long time to hit retail or anywhere else. Best Buy just started selling the S-View cases no more than a week ago and the phone has been out since September on some carriers. They still don't carry any other cases besides that one. There online site is starting to populate with stuff such as the wireless charging back and one other case, but that's it. Still not in stores either. Dont know what the hold up is with the Note 3 accessories.
Check out obo store very cheap free shipping world wide and great accessories

Would have preferred the $50 of Play Store credit, but any freebie is something. Just hope they take the packing slip which I got from Vodafone as proof of purcahse, as I appear to have nothing else official.
And for those of us who bought it on launch? Nothing!
I'm quite annoyed at Samsung right now. US owners who bought it at launch get 50$ free google play credit, yet those of us in the UK get bugger all (apart from this flip case and that's only counted if you bought it in the last 5 days). Come on Samsung, sort it out!

Your annoyance is nothing compared to mine!
upgraded at phones4U shortly after the note 3 launched and not even 2 weeks later they have an offer where if you take a new 4g contract you get the galaxy gear FREE!
2 of my friends did it and they have £300 smartwatches that cost them nothing while i got nothing.
P***** OFF!!!
Ha I feel bad now for mentioning it.
Still, better than nothing at all I guess
Just had an email saying my claim is valid (Vodafone sent a paper invoice yesterday which I was able to email to Samsung). Lets see how long it'll take for the cover to arrive then.

Still waiting for mine. Turns out that despite emailing them a photo of the Invoice, them replying with thanks we'll process your claim, they then ignored the attachment. Fortunately I was able to annotate a picture highlighting the supplier, date and product using the phone and it's finally been processed.

Got it delivered today.
Mine finally arrived, but I took the cover off after a day. I use Light Flow to managed the LEDs and they get hidden.
Trying to take photos becomes a pain because you need to hinge the away from the lens, but not over the screen.
If you have the cover flipped back for too long if will stay open. You can restore the position by leaving your phone face down, but then my phone is face down.
Placing on my stand at night, one position results in the cover falling forward, another results in the phone being pushed away, at night it tends to be dark and I just want to put the phone down.
During the night I can't quick glance at the phone, tap home or power to check the time.
It's a nice cover, feels good, just impractical. Thank god I didn't spend £40 on it.
I got mine today.
Its a flip wallet cover. I thought it is flip view cover. What you have received guys ?
