I know I know I'm crazy right?
But Amazon has a history of dropping prices like crazy every couple of months on Android phones.
Look at the droid bionic... it already has been dropped $170 off the retail subsidized price by Amazon a mere month after it was release
And of course we also have black friday/cyber monday sales coming up soon
Not looking for an exact answers, just interested in your opinion on how many months you think it will take before the Amazon price drop to $0.01 w/ a two year contract?
Btw anyone else holding out for the Amazon price drop?
unfortunately for 1-3 months I believe that this phone may be one of the best on the market, without much competition until other phones are released. Retailers are likely to capitalize on this.
I got mine from Amazon Wireless for $149 out the door with 2 year contract.
Would have been over $200 directly from AT&T.
Don't know about Amazon, but I got mine for 50% off last Tuesday (online, with free activation, and free next day shipping). It was $99 per phone with new 2yr contract.
If I have to guess, maybe in 1yr it may be .01?
SEE WHAT I MEAN GUYS?!?!?
A mere month since it's release date and Amazon Wireless has already dropped the $300 Droid Bionic down to FREE http://wireless.amazon.com/dp/B005IQOFW0
Makes me wonder just how quick the Att Galaxy S II will get the same treatment... it has to right? Especially considering that it sells for $100 less than the Bionic and the Bionic has only been out a month with a $300 price drop.
Cant wait boys, cant wait
I bought my last phone for $0.01 on Amazon. Great deal at the time. Unfortunately I payed $240 plus $40 activation for this one.

My question, I still have two weeks to return to Best Buy before my 30 days are up, will Best Buy cut me a deal based on this?
Or, more importantly, will Amazon honor my unlimited data grandfathered in if I upgrade through them?
Well damn I just did an upgrade last week with Amazon wireless on the at&t galaxy s2 for 220$ i'm wondering can I get it for 1 cent and have the rest of money added back to my card?

If not, then send it back and have them credit you... then do the upgrade for a penny.
The penny deal is for new contract and line only. Can't do upgrade for a penny.

Good catch. You probably saved some people a lot of hassle for nothing.
I've been watching the web, ebay, craigslist, and tech store's sites for a few weeks now, hoping to score an HTC Flyer at a great price. No luck so far. Was going to use wi-fi only so I don't care about carrier.
But I must be missing something. Best Buy has them for $299 brand new, but they consistently sell for hundreds MORE than that on Ebay. What am I missing?
Depends on your Craigslist locale. Here in NYC, I see them from 225 to 270. The black Sprint versions, Evo View 4g models go a bit higher cause of the built in 3g/4g and 32gb storage. EBay deals have had the Sprint version for $240 on several occasions now, keep looking.

Best buy is Oos , and has been for a while. That's why the discrepancy.

Actually, last few airports I've been through have them in the Best Buy self-serve Kiosks. I haven't stopped to see the price.
Not to rub in any salt, but just picked up a brand new in box Evo View off CList for 250 an hour ago. On the bus on my way home now, can't wait to molest it.

You can get on for $298 here. but I bought it for $239 a few days ago so just keep an eye out. I read that it would be 199 at sprint after x-mas here but I think that is on contact

You can have mine for $260 shipped.
Hey Guys, is US $300 a good price for a couple of months used SGS 2 international version? I thought I will wait for the SGS3 but I feel like it would be release only after 4 months or so and will be affordable only after another 2 months. Any opinions /suggestions or can I get it cheaper anywhere else? The phone is in good condition.
yes, it is a good price, i doubt that you will find it any cheaper anywhere else.
new goes for 400 - 450.
Yes, it is a good price. I think it is a good option.
Even if you did want to sell it for a SGS3 in the near future it would probably retain its value better than most other phones on the market.
You'd get most of your money back.
Just searching twitter and I came across these two posts from Currys PC World confirming they will be selling the Nexus 10 on the 13th in the UK.
Good news!
Not sure if we'll be getting more official news nearer the date. Was the Nexus 7 "officially" announced as an in-store release?

http://twitter.com/CurrysPCWorldUK/status/264360450437808128
Great news! It'll still retail at £389 though right?
Hey guys, I work in Currys/PC world.
The big hint towards us getting the Nexus 10 was when they announced a partnership with Samsung to build a dedicated area for Samsung products. And it looks like Nexus 10 might be one of the main items
Edit: We normally get the Products in days before release, so I'll let you know if/when we do get it. Can't wait to use it and get it out on display
Converted 95% of the customer who came to buy an iPad from me to either Samsung Note 10.1 or Nexus 7's. Now it's time for Nexus 10 to take the limelight :laugh:
Great , Off to Currys then for me on the 13th!
It also says they have a 28 say repair policy for faulty units. That sounds less attractive. Is any other real store stocking them?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2
Surely its a 28 day exchange policy? Better than Google's 15 day return period.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
21 day return policy according to their website. Any faults and they'll replace it straight away.

Good news, means I can test for light bleed myself, Just hope they don't increase the price at all. I much prefer to buy from shops and walk away with it in my hand.
I'm hoping to find out when argos get it. Got some vouchers I want to make use of.
Funny they announced the nexus 7 32gb before they should have, yet no ones heard of a n10, even though it's been revealed ?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
I will pick it up from Curry's on the 13th if the price is no more expensive than direct from Google.
Do we know if it will be the 16 or 32GB version?

PC World/ Currys needs more employers like you, I was a big customer of theirs, but now a days their staff is just horrible, they know very little about their products and its just awkward talking to them, even tho PC World prices can be decent.
Will you stock the 16Gb as well?
Sent from my Nexus S using xda app-developers app
At a guess it will be the 32gb model only. Same as Walmart.
Probably be priced at £389.99 so only a little more expensive than buying from the Play store.

So Nexus 10 is confirmed to be in Currys stores in the UK on launch day. Anyone have any idea whether the Nexus 4 will be stocked anywhere in the UK in stores on launch day?

Not at the price google are selling it for, apparantly LG have recommended a retail price of £599, and all the UK phone shops will take advantage of that, the bets are google are selling them at cost or less than cost to get market share.

LG are pioneering a new Sales strategy, its called 50% ON
I predict extreme results.
They'll never sell that for £600 when you can get it direct from google for 320. That's just stupid.

That can't be true. The phone companies will be selling it for free on contract. Yes the price maybe higher then the play store but it's masked in a 24 month contract.
There's no way it'll be £599 anywhere though. That's nearly £100 more than the S3 was at launch.

My bad, Sorry pressed the wrong currency button! lol meant to press the € not £, LG are prizing it at €599. Here's a story about one.
http://crave.cnet.co.uk/mobiles/lgs-nexus-4-price-tag-leaves-european-shoppers-fuming-50009689/
Is the titanium grey S9+ 256GB at 869 pounds a good deal?
I am thinking of buying it. i have seen though in Amazon the same phone going for 789 pounds
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Samsung-Mi...0048646&sr=8-1&keywords=s9+plus+dual+256&th=1
Should i go for that one?
Another relative question: In less than 3 weeks it will be the amazon prime day. Should i delay my purchase for then? Is it likely that there will be a discount or some promotion for the sim-free model?
Thank you!!
Anyone?

not much lesser than 799£. amazon UK has the 128 for £869.00 which i searched for , yes wherever you seen your price, it can be beat by your choice. I saw your amazon link, and yours is dual sim too. The USA doesn't have all the options as you may have soon. If you can spring it, jump on it. Of course the seller you chose hasnt had its first review yet. Be sure whoever the network supports all your needs first in relation to the device.
Thanks for your reply!
I live in UK...
What phone do you currently have? The reason I ask, is Samsung UK's trade-in program an option? I just traded in my S8+ for a £300 discount for the S9+ 256GB from Samsung direct, working out £629 outlay for the S9+.
No one will know for sure of course, but I doubt Prime Day will have any deals on a new flagship like the S9+.
I have a note Edge n915.... It s not listed in the phones that can be used in the trade in promo... I even emailed them since older phones are included and they told me that I can't trade it.
I will sell it though to one of the sites that you can sell your mobile. Some give 140 pounds for it.
