Pretty sweet. And free shipping. I am pretty pumped. Amazon had it for 79.99 but they were going to take a month and half to process and ship it.
I done did use up my 2 upgrades before Christmas. My kids did want sgs2's. Oh well. They have MoPhos and are happy with root.
For the life of me I can not figure out how to get that price upgrading a line on my family plan. Anyone able to help out a random idiot?
Call Customer Care and have them put it in the system, it'll take 24 hours, but it will show up as a full upgrade to the retailers. That price might be for new customers only, not renewals.
You guys realize these discounts are because the phone is being replaced at ces, right?

Actually the SGIII will be unveiled at Mobile World Congress in February and if tradition holds it won't be released in America until Q3.
It only took a day for mine to process and three days to ship on amazon.

I paid $199.99 plus taxes on launch day, I gotta say $49.99 sounds much better. Good things come to those who wait!

^ This. SGS2 came out June/July internationally, but we (Sprint) got it September.
But without a doubt, the SGS3 is going to be announced very, very soon.

Maybe the razr or nexus with free accessories, our 50 dollar price drop,I mean something has to go down right?

Maybe on black friday? If not Verizon, I'm sure someone will have a deal. Other than that, I'm guessing the prices will remain the same throughout the first month. Costco always gives away free accessories and discounts, but I don't know if you have a membership.
The thing is that I have to upgrade through Verizon.there the only ones that do the 1 year early upgrades

The double data is the black friday/ holiday deal. Up to 10g u get double with purchase of a 4g device...I have unlimited with at&t but might switch for 20gigs of data...I use at the most 16gig in a month...

Might want to double check that... my understanding of their new plans is they got rid of New Every 2 back in January, and in April-ish got rid of 1 year contracts. It's either 2 year subsidized price, or full retail.

Nope I still have my early upgrade waiting, Verizon rep told me and it says it on my Verizon.

NegriElectronics has a deal for this weekend to get the Galaxy Nexus for the lowest price I've seen so far, $685.50! Plus, it's free shipping in the US!
I thought I got a deal by ordering for 704ish from them a while back, but this deal is the lowest ever and is only for this weekend. If you were on the fence, now MIGHT be the time to act for the GSM version.
Coupon Code is: VZSucks
It knocks $45 off the price tag!
Good price and negeri, say what you will about them, are shaping up to be a good reseller.
I'm giving this serious consideration...
I'm really tempted to go through with this. I was at Best Buy yesterday talking to one of the Mobile guys. I'm really starting to think there won't be a GSM version available for retail sale in the US. Someone please talk me out of this! I'll will really hit myself if by the end of this month a GSM version is available in Best Buy less than $550. I wanted the 32GB GSM model but I feel like I've waited too long already.
Should I wait until the ides of December and see what happens or jump in on this Negri deal?

it will not since the phone will be from another country and not incorporated into their system. even then, if they actually would allow it they wouldn't be able to replace it for the same phone.

They charge tax so don't forget to factor that into the equation based on where you are. I got mine from Negri for $705 but after tax it shot up to $764. I was just thankful I saved $35 from a code.
Negri is the way to go... although I've heard mixed stories about the customer service they give but I'd recommend them. I got my phone super quick.

Yeah I know I got ripped off. If negeri is selling at $685, they are still making a profit, believe you me. And to think I paid $750...Expansys must have made a TON of profit on the units they pushed out just before Thanksgiving.
Oh well. Money. It comes and goes.
Does this phone come unlocked already!? I went to pre-order my own but it says (Verizon) next to it. I just want to make sure I get the unlock version other than the wack a$$ Verizon one. Please let me know.
Thank you
I just got off the phone with T-Mobile and the rep told me Walmart is cooking up a big promotion for the S3. I called to upgrade one of my lines and asked him if they can match or beat the WireflyFriends price and he said unfortunately no but Walmart is getting ready for a big S3 promotion. Fingers crossed that it beats the WireFly sale price.

I already got $50 back from CarToys because of Walmart's S3 price. I'm hoping they drop it farther so I can get more, but I'm not sure how much time I have left from CarToys to do that.

dont know about wirefly but I bought mine from Costco for 179.99$
I don't know what the other sales are. But tmobile can beat em. Especially if your contract is about up.
Got mine for $79.99!
Ask for retentions, or at least customer loyalty. But retentions can do even better. Google tmobile retentions deals galaxy s3 for more info.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
Did you just tell the automated machine retention? I didn't know that I'll give it a try.
I did try that but still got customer loyalty. I loyaly offered me $279 for phone, $150 credit bringing it to $129. Also got. $20 5gb data plan and a $10 per month bill credit every month for 24 months. I told her I wasn't ready to pull the trigger yet and would call back. Asked her if she made notes on my acct for all she offered which she did.
Called back next day and this time made sure I got on with a retention specialist. They saw notes on my account so honored all the offers. I said I didn't think I could accept because it still meant I had to initially pay $279 which I couldn't afford to do. He did some looking at something and said he could bring it down to $229. I asked if I would still get the $150 credit which I did. I told him I still didn't have that much to spend initially and he said he could apply the cost to my next bill, so after credit I would only have to pay the $79 on my next bill!
Oh and I also got free overnight shipping!!!
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
Wow, that's amazing. Been with them for almost ten years with multiple lines, hopefuy that helps me out. Thanx for the info, I will be glad paying 150. Guess I will give this tomorrow a try.
Good luck! Its definately worth trying.
I've been with them since the Voicestream days, over 10 or 11 years ago. That definately helps, especially if they think you are gona cancel.
The other thing is my contract had already expired which gives max leverage.

I'm continuing this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1951870 here because it relates to the Sprint version.
Ok so here's what I was able to find out. The first store i called said that the phone was in the computer but not in stock could possibly come in tonights or Wednesdays shipment. The second store said that Sprint isn't going to release the phone till the 11th to which I replied they released it Thursday and she was like oh well that's weired. So I called the Reward Zone Premier Silver customer service and they weren't able to tell me exactly what I needed to know so I was transferred to .com support. This is what they said. The phone is available to order NOT PREORDER. Where it says "coming soon" that means it's coming soon in stores. When you add the phone to your cart you add all of your plan info and then pay for it. They said it ships in 5-7 days.
If this helps you please hit thanks!

Called two Best Buy's this morning in the North Dallas area. Still not in the inventory system (don't know if their inventory system is national) - so none in stock at the store. They are taking pre-orders though.
Couldn't hazard a guess on which channel is actually faster.
i've called 15+ stores twice a day since the phone launched. the responses have been mixed, but over time the general consensus is now shifting to "it won't be available in store until Nov 11." i've pre-ordered it at a store, but in the meantime, i also bought one on their website. original delivery was 10/31-11/1, but just got updated to 11/8-11/19. if they start showing up in store before i get mine, i might just grab one there and cancel my online order. but i figure i've already missed launch day and have been waiting anyways, so what's a couple more days?
Called around to several stores today and wasn't able to find any phones or anyone who could tell me when it's going to released.

Talked to a Best Buy Mobile sales associate from a local store again today - this rep (taking it with a huge grain of salt) said that the carrier (Sprint) corporate stores would have a two week exclusive from launch. If true, that puts the date in line with the AT&T launch date: November 9th.
If I didn't have all those Best Buy gift cards from my Photon trade-in - I would've gone to the corporate store by now.

Staple has coupon code that works the same, just bought one for myself. Go to staple and use coupon code "18702", works for any tablet over $149. Not sure how long it will last but you can always return it later.
You can get that price any day at best buy. Why in the world would you go in on black Friday.

Well I work at Best Buy and can tell you it's not a black friday deal (they have had the ad on the website for a few weeks now) Cyber Monday I don't know. They were selling the 16 gb for $199 last week but the sale was only a day or two. Best Buy does price match pretty much anywhere so if you see any for cheaper online bring in the ad and they'll price match it.
If you have a $50 gift card to go towards it, its definitely worth the extra few bucks to get double the memory. My 2 cents anyways. Good luck with your purchase!
Nexus 10 is sexy though so may be worth the wait!
EDIT* After Re-Reading what I wrote, I don't want you to think this was a shameless best buy plug, he mentioned he had a $50 gift card there so I figured that's where he would want to purchase it! Thought I would clear that up lol.

I think it was a 1 day sale. I didn't even see it advertised. I only knew about it because our Google rep had told me in store. I will tell you that if you just buy one now that you should have until January 14th to do 1 price adjustment if they do lower it during that time since we're in the holiday season.

That's a whopping 8.6% discount. But it's still a savings of $30.
I went and got it for $349. Pist, but I got the $25 play credit. Im s till hopping for a price drop to see off they would honor it, from what the best buy guy said a few posts back.

I wasn't going to update my 7(especially after just getting a nexus 5). But then I saw googles free shipping offer +$25 store credit and seriously started considering it since my old nexus 7 felt so slow compared to my new phone.
Then I saw 32GB on sale at Nebraska Furniture Mart on black Friday for $225. At that point I decided with all the OT I've been putting in at work I deserved it.
While it doesn't compare to my phone in fluidity, speed and smoothness, it's definitely a nice upgrade from the old 7.
