Availability at Best Buy and Radioshack????? - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

Has anyone been able to get a definate answers as to wether Best Buy and Radio Shack will be getting the Epic Touch 4g? If so what price did they say???

It sure doesn't seem like Radio Shack knows what's up. They didn't have a clue what phone I was referring to and told me to check back on Thursday afternoon after I said SGS2, Epic Touch, and finally Samsung Galaxy S2 Epic Touch 4G! Wow..really?

I got verification from my buddy who is a manager at RS, it will be sold there.
BestBuy isn't positive, but, the guys I spoke with there said they would be shocked if it wasn't going to be there... Will know for certain tomorrow afternoon.

I spoke to guy this morning at my local BB and he said they stock tonight and to check back with him late to see if they got any. They also finally added the touch to the radioshack website today, so I assume they will soon know whats up at my local radio shack.

I called best buy she started talking about the og epic... Smh... She said check back on monday... Im going to have to order from sprint on friday and wait until monday 8(

Its confirmed at Best Buy for Friday but price is still unknown. Was gonna be 199.99 but may be 149.99 thanks to walmart

I've heard confirmation of BB Friday morning at open, should be the regular $199.99 price with contract that is being advertised. From my experience, BB hasn't dropped prices until pretty much everybody else has, but I guess it's never too late to change

They will price match though!

Really?? Do you think they'll actually do that since the price being advertised from Wally World & Wirefly were for pre-orders? Wouldn't be a pre-order if we picked it up after release at BB...I have a feeling (being a former employee of theirs) that they won't budge a nickel.
That's just my feeling though, anyone feel differently?

Im actually hoping that the 149.99 walmart price will hold through to the brick and mortar stores. Then with a little luck you can persuade best buy to match. Otherwise 199.99, but Im not sweating it too much. Im going to either sell or trade my evo, which should help me out quite a bit. Then with having to carry a phone for work they will kick in some monies for a new device every year. I just have to find someone to have one in stock on launch. I just got off the phone with my sprint store, which is a sprint store by wireless paradise, and the said that they are backordered bad. He then proceeded to tell me Sammy didnt make enough and that Im going to quite lucky to get one on launch.... I will be the worlds saddest panda if I dont get one of these. I havent been this hyped about a device since lite brite.

Employees cant buy them till next month unless your doing a straight up contract like a normal customer. But we just looked in RSS (inventory) and it looks like 5 per store. My buddy watched them unload and from the truck to the cabinet 5 was it.
BTW, 199.99 You may get your store to price match walmarts 149 but its gonna depend if the manager will honor it. I like my 2nd job so Im not pushing the issue.

Sprint tech here, we are allowed to do a one time courtesy repair for $35.. I do them all the time. Unless the techs there are douches, I don't see why buying a screen and replacing it yourself is worth it.. Just saying. Have you asked about it?

Lmao no is not a joke I called Sprint a few times, first time they were acting like they didnt care cause I told them that I prefer to cancel the line. Anyways I called them back they took forever and the manager told me that if I'll wait for the next bill I would be able to bill the phone to my account ugh.. well I told him that if it was going to be the way I prefer to cancel my line... The last customer representative was nice tho , she asked me.how many times I called about The same problem and saw that I been having bad 3G data on my account (called before about it ) , well she gave me two options to get refurbished phone or try to see if management will move my upgrade ( due on January 1st 2012) I told her If she can check for the upgrade instead she said ok I was on hold for five minutes, and then she told me management approve it , so now I have a upgrade the will be available in a few hours , Idk if to get the EVO 3D and return it and get the photon 4G , any ideas ?
Well I guess there customer service is getting better at least
Sold my broken EVO (screen) for 160$ plus some extras like extended battery anf got me the EVO 3D oh well I ma miss been rooted but is gonna help me gr off my phone lol, I pay 215$ with tax and I got 30 days to return it , I want to say Adios guys and hopefully see you with another device in the future

Verizon Release Date

Hi,
I'm a moderator over at Android Forums. I regularly get leaks from a Vz insider. I wanted to share this information, as I didn't think it was fair to be miserly with it. S/he says the phone is coming out on 11/17.
I posted the complete messages here. S/he gives the reason it's coming out on the 17th in the follow-up message that I liked in the the url above.
Sincerely,
Steven
I'm reserving myself to the possibility that we'll get a November 30th release. That way, anything else is better and I don't bug out until then.
On the other hand, you did get me to re-activate my account on your forums. (and consider premium...)
i was under the impression that the 17th was just for EU

Do you either of you know were to get a coupon code? I'd like to save as much as possible if I decide to get the 16GB model.
The only concern I have about handtec is their supply. On the blog they say they will be filling the backorders. I hope it will be enough left afterwards.

I don't blame you. I am fortunate that T-mobile and At&t work pretty well in my city. Verizon is the best but, at my house the other two carriers work just as good if not better. HSPA+ is very fast in my city. This is why I don't have a issue with going with T-mobile. Sprint was the worse when I tried it.

Yeah, major city (Columbia, SC) and Sprint's 3G never exceeds 300 kb/s. 4G? Forget about it, at least until they get their LTE built, but that may not happen until 2013, and I'm not waiting until then. I may come back if they get LTE and unlimited data in my area, but it doesn't look good as far as the unlimited data goes.
I'm waiting to get the Galaxy Nexus on Verizon for a couple of reasons. One being the current double data promotion and the other being I can get a 19 percent discount through my employer, so I can get 10 gigs of data each month for like 94 bucks a month, or 4 gigs for 74 bucks a month.
Oh look, the guy who wrote that pre-orders open today is now quoting Lee Johnston: https://plus.google.com/u/0/117220625678034723010/posts/bYLDTzCfoRV
I think these two should get together and host a seminar on how to talk out of your ass.
I just called verizon
I just called verizon and spoke with a rep. he did not even know when. so I asked him this "do you feel it will be out before christmas" and he told me "well I honestly cant tell you for sure because even I am unaware of when the release or pre-orders start for the nexus, but if you haven't seen any ads or much marketing for the Galaxy Nexus then it will probably won't be here until early next year, but again that is only my speculation." So even a Verizon Rep has little faith in his own company.

and NO this is not official but its the best thing ive found out from verizon

Get your upgrade early...

I was able to get my upgrade early by buying out the last 6 months of my contract. it cost me 65 bucks that they bill to the account.
Radio shack has a deal right now on the nexus for 199 but you get 100 off when you trade in a old smartphone.
I ask the guy if there going to do the same with the sg3 and this is what he told me. after the first two weeks of sg3 sales there going to offer the same deal around the first week in july. I'm guessing the sunday ad will have it that 2nd sunday in july.
so I bought the nexus and got my 100 bucks off so it was only 99.99. he then had me come back today and return it but was able to transfer the credit to my pre order of the sg3. bam sg3 99 bucks LOVE IT.... but yeah now I have to wait for it.
Hope it works for anyone who try's.
Badassss info! Do you know the max amount of months they will let u buy out????

Early Buyout has been going on for a while now.
I can confirm that. Sprint told me the same thing when I called to turn on caller ID blocking since they are now wanting to disclose your full name on caller ID instead of just your number.
For those of you who have done this, is it as simple as calling Sprint, buying the rest of your contract time, and then somewhere like a radio shack or best buy having it in their system that you are upgrade eligible?

I bought mine out. It had 13 or so months left on it. $135 that will be billed to my next Sprint bill.
When you call make sure to ask for account services. Otherwise you'll be bounced all over the place.
Hell of a deal considering I just sold my Epic 4G touch for 350 on craigs.
220+135+35 activation fee = 370. I got my phone for 40 bucks outta pocket YaY

My original upgrade before the $45 buyout was August 1st. They told me if I don't upgrade early by that date, they would refund the $45. Hope that helps.

Sam’s Club Black Friday Ad Lists Galaxy S3 for $0.96

http://www.droid-life.com/2012/11/07/sams-club-black-friday-ad-lists-galaxy-s3-for-0-96/
Sam’s Club is now the owner of the “Best Black Friday Deal Award” for the time being. According to their Black Friday ad, they plan to sell the Samsung Galaxy S3 for 96 cents ($0.96) the day after Thanksgiving. Yes, if you are a part of the club, you can pick up the hottest phone of the year for less than a dollar, as long as you are down to sign a new 2-year contract. Talk about a steal.
They will also have the Galaxy Tab 2 7″ and 10″ tablets for $179 and $299, respectively.
Lol good luck grabbing a phone! they will only have a certain amount in stock to sell for a freaking dollar!!
You cant beat best buys deal right now $99.00 with a new contract!! :thumbup:

I've worked for Sam's Club over 9 years.. Most stores will have more than enough.. Last year most of our .96 cent phones lasted a few hours.. Plus your biggest lines will be at walmart and other retailers.. I say if you want a sg3 for .96 cent.. You have a big chance in getting one on black friday..
I know a few people who will be out there lol. Luckily I picked mine up on launch... 1st person to own an S3 in my area

I want to get one for my wife but our upgrade doesn't kick in until Dec 1. Any chance they would waive the early termination fee for 8 days?
If not then paying $50 for a GS3 is still an awesome deal once I add the ETF.

Refurbs?
I stopped by the the Sprint kiosk at my local mall today. The price for the S3 upgrade was $199.00. So I told the salesman about some of the Black Friday prices and the fact that Walmart had it for $149.00 a few weeks back. His response was that the phones at Walmart and Bestbuy were refurbs. I don't think that's the case, but how about it? Does anybody know if these vendors are actually offering refurbished units?

Course he would say that. He's bitter you weren't going to buy from him.
I'd suspect that it would almost be illegal to not advertise them as being refurbished.

Did this apply to upgrading a line or do you need a totally new 2 year agreement? I have two lines I've been sitting in upgrades for a while now.[/QUO
I think The 96¢ deal at Sams Club will probally be just for new contracts. I say that because if you check the Sams Club web site now they do have 2 different prices for the S3 depending on whether its a new contract vs. being eligible for an upgrade on an existing contract. Currently it's 99.99 vs 149.99 respectively. So my guess is that if they are offering 2 tier pricing now (actually 3 tier since you can also pay full price with no contract), the 96¢ price is likey the lowest and I wonder what the price will be for an upgrade. Still 49.00 or 99.00 is a good deal seeing as I paid 199.99 each for 2 S3's a few months ago. Iv've got a third number on my account and its eligible for an upgrade.

About that Sams ads is bad news for me becuase here in Puerto Rico Sams only sells AT&T and T Mobile phones.

I'm guessing price matching from other stores wouldn't be an option with this ad because it's a 'club' store.
I could see a Best Buy sales manager having a stroke when they see 50 GS3s being sold for $47 less than what BB will be offering on black friday. :laugh:

I saw the note 2 on walmart.com for $139.99

But this is for new customers only...
My contract has been up since october but I'm under my uncles account, so would I be able to create an account and just port my number over?
Also, I believe Best Buy will pricematch anything on walmart.com till the 31st...so people who really will sign up for the first time, I believe this will be the cheapest route..I've never seen it so low lol

when exactly did you see this and what zip code did you use? When I do a search theydont show the price. Meaning if Best Buy cant confirm the price its a no go. Ironically they show prices on other phones but when I use my zip it shows no available which means I need a zip code that shows a state that has them... Mine is in transit from BB after returning it back to Sprint Store for $50 less at Best But THEN of couse I see this. Not too late though since I havent even received it yet
Thanks

Is this the best deal I'm going to find for a renewal? The only thing that bothers me is that it's a 1-2 week wait on Amazon.

Got a kick out of that. Told me the same thing - heck, even the order confirmation told me it would be end of January. Got them about a week later (on Christmas eve)

I wouldn't worry about the shipping time for Amazon. I just switched from Verizon to Sprint because of this Amazon deal for $99 and it originally said 1-2 week wait. On Dec 27 looked at my account and it said that it wouldn't ship until Feb 4th, the next day I received an email stating it was shipped and was here 2 days later.
I'm so glad I got this phone for $99, makes the sting of not having 4G any more better since this phone is fast as hell. Now I just need to sell my VZW Nexus.
Best buy denied me! No online only price match.

They can't deny online price, they can only deny the new price for a renewal. I would go back and if they still say no talk to the store manager and if still nothing then call the 1800 number. The online price match is a best buy policy that may be extended for the rest of the year. My local store said if they take it away they will still honor it. Good luck and don't just let them do whatever they want. Fight for it.

I would buy it from walmart.com, especially if you live in a state like my state (CA) that charges prices on the full retail amount of the phone before discounts. a phone like the Note 2 is easilly a $50+ tax, but on walmart.com, they don't charge tax so it's $139 out the door. I bought mine last month when it was $199 ($299-$100 walmart gift card) and was charged no tax on the phone.
