Hello guys,
An aunt of mine is going to London soon and she accepted to buy the Nexus for me. I need it to be unsimlocked to work with my carrier..
And the most important thing is that she can only buy in street stores.
So as of today, what's the best deal for this kind of situation (the most attractive price )? Is it easy to find in street stores ( considering it was launcher on Nov 17 so stocks should've arrived )?
Thanks

Hope you find an answer in there
Thanks for your answer!
the spreadsheet shows about same prices everywhere but my true question is how do I know which store has got it in its street stores.
While some seem to be online-only, if I consider a store like Three, will they have it in stock? How can I be sure of it?
That's my last question, thanks !
you can't know. Unless you call that specific store and ask if they have them in stock. Then again if you called today they may be sold out by the time your Aunt goes. So no guarantees. She'll just have to shop around.
Hi all,
I like to get a new Note 8 Wifi. After reading posts here, I found:
- the stock 4.1.2 has 'screen freezing' problem? Not sure what that is, but it doesn't sound good
- recent OTA upgrade to 4.2.2 may or may not fix it, and it introduced a new 'SPen offset problem'
- anything else?
Is this a bad time for me to buy a new Note 8 Wifi at this moment?
Thanks for your inputs.

I've ever experienced either problem and I've used both firmwares

not everybody experiencing these issues, the screen freeze fixed on 4.2.2. The SPen offset problem; some experiencing the issue, and some don't.
Now, consider this; currently Note 8.0 WiFi is $299 at stables (in store only), plus there's this printable coupon $75 off (expiring 9/28) that would bring the price down to around $225....for $225 what you are getting is a steal here. Of course, if you can able to locate one in Stable stores, as seems like they all sold out...but give a try, you may get lucky...
great day! i gonna have to sell my sero 7 pro and grab another gn8! if i can sell it for $75 then $150 for another gn8 is a no brainer!
Thank you all! I'll try to see if I can find the coupon then call around to see who has it so I can go pick one up!

Good luck finding a Note 8.0 in LA... lmfao... I bought mine on the 9/21 coupon. I called almost every stores in LA (WestSide all the way to San Bernandino and as far south Aliso Viejo). Some of them have incorrect inventory count, one store in San Fernando had a "broken" one. But I finally found one in Cerritos. Drove my ass there and picked it up. But as far as I can tell, none in the Greater Los Angeles area.
i picked on one. sold my sero 7 already and got the $25 credit, so only $125 out of pocket not including tax. another guy at work is going across town later to pick him up one. they've got 4 at another store. they had 2 at the one i went to but they could only find one. i was trying to see if they'd hold one.
thanks a bunch for the heads up!
and, no, it's the perfect time to get one! or another one, lol.
most stores are likely out of stock by now. however you can have them order in-store thru their online kiosk. you'll end up paying the $299 price plus the $75 off coupon at the register. next business-day delivery thru the kiosk...that's how i was able to get mine
the galaxy perks promotion ($25 google play credit, hulu plus, plus some boingo stuff) ends 9/30 though...

Yeah, I was able to order mine exactly that way. But I couldn't get the next business day delivery, unfortunately. It delivers on Wednesday... So I will not receive the galaxy perks, sadly. How did you ask for the next business day delivery? I just asked how quick it can ship and she didn't give me options for different shipping speeds, just said it will come on Wednesday...
SO I canceled my Verizon pre order to do it through best buy (felt more reliable with $200 gift card, not waiting for a mail in rebate which never comes), and they dont seem to be available. http://www.bestbuy.com/site/promo/samsung-galaxy-note-4-128435
I was in store on Saturday to pre order, and they just said it wasnt available. The Samsung "Experience Coordinator" (or whatever it is), had no explanation, was really pissed off, and just offered to text me when they become available to preorder. Anyone know whats going on?

Hearing Sold Out @BB!
Wow, I was able to pre-order mine for Verizon on Thursday, this past week.
I've been waiting for them to open the pre orders on their website because I don't live near a bb but I would be willing to drive to pick it up to save $200. If I can't order it through bb I'm gonna be pissed. I really don't want to deal with uploading the receipts and all that crap for the other promo. If I have to I will, but I would much rather deal with bb. I am pre ordering by the end of the week no matter what weither it's from bb or verizon.
When I preordered the Sprint one there was issues with their site and store connections. I had to go back 2 days later to put it in. At that time there was a message flashing across the screen that the Verizon preorders could not be taken yet. Just keep calling until they are up, you have until the 16th to preorder.

I was in there Saturday also and was told all they had left to pre-order was white. When I got home and looked online even white was gone. Bummer because the employee told me that the tradein program was very lax and that they would accept pretty much any phone as long as it turned on and didn't have water damage/major cracks.
i went in to a bb to check out the note 4 as well. Phone is sick! but i asked the same about pricing and ordering and they didnt have a clue on both! I was like really!??
Wife and I went to 3 Best Buy's yesterday to preorder for Verizon, 1st said only White was available, so I hesitated due to wanting black, so we drove to the next BB where they said preorders at their store sold out on Saturday, drove to the next BB and was told ALL BB Verizon preorders were shutdown Friday night due to being oversold. Was told this by both BB employees and Samsung Mobile employees at all 3 stores. Was really pissed because the preorder hasnt even began on BB website for Verizon - has always said Coming Soon.
Ended up preodering at Costco - 1 black and 1 white.
I know the phone is much higher through best than what saw at Verizon. The AT&T version is $825 and the Verizon version is $699.99.

Can you forward that link. Mine just showed $749.
I think it depends on the color - black is listed at $692 and white at $749

That's what I saw also. I preordered the white from Verizon for $699.
I had the same experience... not able to Pre-Order online so I went into my local store. They said pre-orders were sold out as well. I called the Best Buy Mobile store and was surprised to hear him say they could pre-order black or white still. Ran up.. pre-ordered the phone!
Apparently BB allocations for the N4 are tapped out. Verizon obviously got the lion share of allocations.
Anybody thinking they will get the offer for full price sales are dreaming even more now.

The $200 deal is from Samsung so that stills good, just that Bestbuy is sold out with their limits so you can't pre order from them any more, but you could get N4 from Amazon or Verizon.

Well in our mall Best Buy Mobile is like a very small mini store. Also have been reading reports that this promotion will jot work unless you do 2 yr contract or edge plan... However I clearly asked and made sure that I could purchase the Note 4 at full retail and receive the $200 trade in value on my Motorola Droid X.
Employee said that it says clearly when activation 2 year contracts when they do promotions like this but this promotion had none of that wording. Simply towards any "purchase". Got it all in writing and had them sign it so I would have a "leg to stand on" if for some reason that went against what they were telling me.
BTW they said they had several in both black and white they could still pre order and their store hadn't reached they're limit
Who s going to preorder it ?? Pre order starts may 29 12:01am
I tried pre ordering on best buy website but it wouldn't let me. I called them and they said that they are in the process of removiing all ordering of AT&T devices online. You now can only order or pre order in-store only. But they weren't certain that you could even do that any more. The rep and a supervisor stated its a recent change as of last week. I called Att and they said the only promo's they had was like $5 off a stupid selfie stick. So I will be trying my to get best buy and their $100 gift card to let me order it through them instead of Att. We'll see I'll be stopping by tomorrow.
BTW Att said they will have pre order starting tomorrow and available on the 5th

I was able to pre-order from Best Buy as a 2-yr subsidized phone instead of NEXT. Just had to go into the store. No real hoops to jump through, took about 10 minutes and a good chunk of that was from a frozen computer. Although I still haven't been told when I'll be able to pick it up. I'm hoping it's same as AT&T stores.
I may get the h815 version. Had the major att bands for lte
I had preordered through BestBuy because of the $100 gift card but was going to buy the phone straight up for $629.99 but they had a later release date (6/12). Checked the preorder through AT&T and they let me do a 2 year contract and get it for $199.99. Which to me is a way better deal IMO. So cancelled with BB and ordered with AT&T earlier today and I just got an email saying it shipped. :good::good:
I wanted to preorder through AT&T, but they don't ship until after the 12th, so I just went ahead and ordered from AT&T, because it ships by the 1st or 2nd....

Pre ordered this morning and mine will be shipped out monday 6-1.
Anyone heard if Bestbuy will be shipping on 6/5 instead of 6/12?
still undecided if i get the tmo or att version to run on att
or maybe switch carriers to tmo. any thoughts? in far north Dallas.
I ordered from Best buy yesterday. The chick wouldn't tell me anything about when they would be ready for pick up. The only thing she said was that they usually have the phones before the carriers do. I'm not in any hurry to get the phone I just needed a new phone because my screen is going out on my G2. Otherwise I probably wouldn't even upgrade. Hopefully we get emails saying they are ready for pickup sooner rather then later though.
Just went into ATT store to pre-order to get the spare battery and 32G sdcard. One wrinkle ... I still have unlimited international data (YAY) and there was absolutely no way to preorder and keep that. I was there for over an hour, most of it with the rep on the phone trying to figure out how to keep the unlim-data.
Turns out you can NOT pre-order and keep that feature - it will force you to a 3G plan. The only way is to walk in and buy one *from store inventory*, then I can keep the unlim-data.
So be careful - if you have expired features, they may get whacked ...
With the pre-order you can get a 7" tablet for $0.99, but it's a new device on your plan - $10/mo. By buying from store inventory, it's an 8" tablet with stylus.

Preordered through BB as well (ATT). 6/5 verified, well the truck gets in the 4th so I may see if I can pick it up a day early
Is it confirmed that you don't get the $100 gift card if you buy the device outright without a contract?
Anyone that ordered through AT&T get a shipping confirmation yet? I was reading in another thread that one user that also ordered from AT&T checked his status and it says "Back ordered" . Just checked mine and it says preorder processing. I did order on 5/29 around 12:30am.

After preordering phones through at&t website for years, I figured I would have learned my lesson about their mess. I have not gotten any info yet either except preparing to ship for the past few days.
Update: Just got my tracking.
FWIW I went to an AT&T store today to potentially go and pre-order one. However the rep told me that they would have ample stock on Friday and it would just be easier to come back then and pick one up in store. They assured me that stock would not be an issue. That might be a good alternative for anyone looking to pick one up.
So I just got the email with the tracking info. Says it will be here on Thursday!

Hello guys,
I haven't seen this question been asked often here after the recall, but I am very interested to know when the Note 7 will be back for retail sale? I chat the a CS from AT&T yesterday, and she told me online order for Note 7 is not available yet and only some local stores may have some for sale. Does anyone have any information about this (especially US market)?
Thanks
I believe reading somewhere Oct 21st date....also read some where certain US providers are already selling it...

I ordered a black phone from Verizon. Supposed to ship on 10/5. I wanted black and that was good because the blue was showing a week later. The local store was also showing 2 in stock. I tried to order on line and pickup, but they wouldn't go for it. I hate dealing with the people in the store so I just ordered on line.
Found a black one at BB day before yesterday. Only one I could find.
Wife ordered one last Friday from Verizon... got it on Monday... I know Verizon is selling as of last week
Sprint is selling them as well.. I know because I just got mine.. Local stores have had them for a while now as well.
i kno t mobile started oct 5 but ATT no word when why not just buy T-mobile version full price and it will be unlocked then u can use on any carrier you have?
