[Q] Question about the walmart price leak? - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II

Question, I've waiting for this for to use my upgrade ever since Samsung announced it in late Aug. I've seen everywhere that it's available through T-Mobile (Online and at some stores) and Wire-fly but both seem to be out of stock. Does anyone know if the leak from the Walmart wireless was true about having it for sale for $299 and if so, does anyone know when it will be available?

I've seen it quoted on the Sears Web site for 299.99 as well.

Anyone want to buy a new laptop dock? 85$ shipped

I haave an unopened laptop dock that i decided im not going to use after reading reviews so if any one would like it, i can let it go for 85$ shipped? It is unopened/new in box. Paypal only please, and only shipping inside the US. Thanks guys!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1357291
After reading above i don't think someone will be interested in buying it for $85
If you still have an option of returning it do that or wait for ATT to go out of stock
You may be able to sell at this price if you ship to Canada. The AT&T deal for the $50 lapdock is a no-brainer if you live in the US, but us Canadians are unable to purchase from AT&T as they require a US credit card and a US billing address.
There are currently no lapdock deals up here anywhere near that price, unless someone can prove me wrong?
+1 Anyone know any deals?
50 dollar deal is over, 85 is a good price again!

$75 refurbished on AT&T's website is better!
Are you willing to ship to UK?
Did you sell it yet? I could be interested since I live in Canada!
Me too. Ships to florida. P.o. box.

49.99 price tag at LetsTalk online

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.

[Q] Will Best Buy sell Sprint Note 2 on Oct 25?

Or do I have to go to a Sprint store? And, can you upgrade at Best Buy?
I know you can upgrade at best buy not sure if they will have it on launch day though. I'm hoping to get the att version there soon as well. I wanna get that $50 gift card.

I'm hopping they'll have them in on the 25th. I love Best Buys return policy if I ever have a problem within 30 days. While the Sprint stores look at me like I have 3 heads if I try to return anything.

Called Best Buy and confirmed that they will carry the Note II on Oct 25 and you can do in-store upgrades on every carrier except for T-Mobile.
My best buy said they didnt know for sure but said most of the time they get them the same day as the carriers.

Considering Best Buys launch history, they should have it. Also, Best Buy is only allowed to sell 3 carriers per store. They always carry ATT and Verizon but some stores carry Sprint and some carry T-Mobile. If I remember right, it has something to do with a contract with Verizon that they won't sell more than 2 other postpaid carriers. You can call your local Best Buy Mobile and ask what carriers they carry if you need. But whatever carrier they don't carry in-store, they can Instant Ship you one

I liked that and the Black Tie Protection. Everything was a hassle with Sprint. I hate Sprint Customer Care.
Both of my Best Buys don't know (Pasadena and Pearland, TX). Neither know anything about a pre-orders either. Guess I just have to try to walk in there at 10:00AM on Thursday.
Just went to Best Buy
They told me they would not have the Sprint version until November 10th or 11th.
If you signed up for the phone freedom program with them back in January. They give you a $50 gift card for each number you upgrade. I've done it with four lines so far.

I don't know how credible this information is, but the manager at my local Radioshack (in DFW) said that no retailer is getting the Sprint GNII before the 11th. Considering that the Note 2 is not being pushed heavily by any carrier and that even most Sprint stores only get a few at a time, this does sound pretty reasonable.
My distribution channel only has the Tmo version. I thought since they synced the launch day for Tmo theyd do the same with Sprint. Turns out there is a snafu with Sprint pushing out to third party distros. All my customers are waiting though because they know I have the best price anywhere. :highfive:

That's strange, I picked mine up at my Sprint store on 10/25 at 9 am, they had 15. I brought it to work, a coworker saw it and immediately wanted one. He erred and waited until he got off at 6:30 pm and visited three different stores who were all sold out for the day. He was pissed and ended up ordering it online. Its interesting because if you check other forums, folks have been picking them up at stores all over the country on 10/25.

BTW, my store is a Corporate store, don't know if that defeats your concern?
Two locations in the Milwaukee area only had 1-2 of the white left as of about 2PM. I had the last gray held for me at another store, visiting my closest one that I had set up an appointment for online.
I don't think Sprint realized how popular these would be.. Two nearby corporate stores sold out within 10 minutes of opening - Luckily, a third party store in my area received a shipment and held one for me.
Our local store is OOS today. I had to see it first before deciding to get one, so I ordered online.

Tele_sales at Sprint confirmed the 11th as well as the accounts management dept. They said the phone wasn't going to even be released until then. Weird to have 2 release dates. They obviously had no idea that this device is the best thing they have out, by a long shot.

My understanding is that Sprint wanted first dibs before selling through 3rd party retailers. I called my local sprint store (nashville) and was told that I could go in the store and have it shipped by Monday/Tuesday if I went today. I'm gonna hold out so I can go through Best Buy and not have to deal with mail-in rebates.

Yup.....I was told that even though I'm eligible for the upgrade, that I would have to do a mail-in rebate.
Weird. I know of no rebates for this phone. 299 upgrade/new line.

Not true, i went to Sprint (non corporate store) on the 25th at 9 and got mine with an upgrade for 299. They stopped doing the mail in rebate a while back. I got my gs2 at the corporate store a year ago with an upgrade and had no mail in rebate either.

Hmmm....good information to know. What sure what the rep was thinking so it sounds like a trip to the sprint store is in order tomorrow.

Will other stores carry the note ii?

I'm able to upgrade on December 1st and was wondering if there will be any other places to buy the note from. Black Friday is coming soon and if stores like amazon carry it I'm sure they'll dampen the $300 price a bit, but if it's only available on sprint and best buy it doesn't look like it will happen.

You can buy it from Wirefly and other online retailers right now for a discounted price.
If you mean brick and Mortar stores, Radioshack should be selling (On their website) and maybe WalMart too.
It's great that there are other carriers. I think I'll buy black friday. Does anyone know how long you have until you can activate the phone? My upgrade is available December 1. I was wondering if it's possible to buy the phone and wait a week before activating it. When I first signed up for sprint I know it was about 2 weeks after receiving my phone from amazon, I'm not sure if what the policy is with other stores and upgrades though.
Best Buy should be carrying it soon as well. They just got in the AT&T variant today.

It's a link to Wirefly that is technically designated for Friends and Family of Simplexity employees. But the link has been easily accessed by the public for some time now. I bought my last 2 phones from that link, including my Note II that I just ordered this weekend.
Just do a Google search for Wirefly Friends and Family.

Our local best buy said they would price match the wirefly friends and family price. ymmv. radioshack is supposed to have it for 249.99, but our local store doesnt have any stock yet.
