Anyone get their nexus 7 at bestbuy? I already bought on the Playstore but sent it back for refund after 5 replacement because of screen bleed. Any reviews for nexus 7 lte on bestbuy. Thanks!

Got my wifi version at best buy in August. Pretty much the same as anywhere else, they aren't special like they get selective stock. Return policy is a good reason to get it from best buy though.

You can take it back to the store and get a refund without hassles or having to mail it back.

Pretty sure it's 15 days unless you buy the year protection plan.
I bought my Nexus 7 at best buy the 2nd week of August. It's working just fine, I love it.

Do they charge you 15% re-stocking fee for "no reason" refund?
A while back, I returned a TomTom GPS because there was issue with the firmware such that it is not pronouncing the exit name, just "Exit in 100 yards". It was an issue known in TomTom forum because they were trying to break into a US market (they're primarily sells to European countries).
I went to BB, have an email from TomTom printed that say they know about the issue, and BB still want to charge me 15% restocking fee. Mind you, this was back when GPS still cost $499. After 1 hour going back and forth, they brought in a "tech", who just HAPPEN to know about the issue (he uses TomTom too) and then the Manager relent on the refund without 15% restocking fee.
So in the case with N7, how can I "prove" to them if my N7 have multi-touch issue, screen bleeds, etc that are known problems?

No questions asked within 14 days. I never get refused for even just telling them I didn't like it. No restocking fee ever mentioned

So my 2 day old n7 has touch screen issues as well as a lose corner where I can lift the screen up. I bought it from Amazon. Do I contact them, or Google?
Amazon....
That is what I thought thanks
Amazon has about the best return policy of any American company. In the first thirty days, I would never mess with the manufacturer. I even pay (slightly) more to buy from Amazon because of this. Well, and the free shipping...

If anything goes wrong with the tablet after the return period you would contact Asus directly for warranty service.
And how are they to deal with, am I better off buying a square trade warranty?
ST does a 5 day turnaround. ASUS has a pretty bad record.
However, for the first year, ASUS' warranty is primary. ST covers what they don't. After the first year, ST handles it.
So, for the first year, it doesn't make any difference (other than a drop and spill claim.)
Any word on when we'll be able to pre-order? I already signed up on the info/promotion page but what about actual pre-orders?
I'm thinking some time after the contest is over. The contest ends on 9/15 but the winners aren't announced until 9/18. So lets say you won but you won't know until 9/18 and you placed a pre-order on or after 9/15( if it was open ). Then you would be stuck with 2 phones and that doesn't make sense because then you will want to cancel your pre-order if you won. So I'm thinking after this whole contest thing blows over on 9/18 is when pre-orders open. But its anyone's guess lol
edit: After re-reading the email they send you, it says "If you are one of five lucky winners, we'll notify you by 9/18/13." So I think sometime after 9/15 definitely.

I'll be using that same plan with my note 3. I found this thread to be really useful. It covers the T-Mobile $30 plan and VOIP setup.

I do this now with note2, same plan....and will with note3. Since I only have 100 min on plan, I got a seperate google voice number, and use the obihai 202 with it. Free voip through google voice at home, then the 100 min tmobile....look into obihai, been using it for couple years, its flawless with goole voice, crystal clear
The obihai 110 works excellent as well., only way that plan works for me, is this device and all the free calls at home.

I doubt there will be a backorder for this phone...but I was wondering what time of the day it would come. During the day/night etc.
That would determine where I have it shipped to.

That depends on the delivery company (UPS, FedEx, etc) and your (highly specific) location. Those variables are out of our hands - The only way you could hope to make a guess is if you knew which company T-Mobile is using.

Are they going to have both black and white in store on the release day? I know the note 2 was only available in titanium in store in my area. The white, we had to order on the phone.

I guess you're right, as I don't see it available on their prepaid website. I'd either buy it in store or even better, buy the T-Mobile version from Negri Electronics so you don't have to pay sales tax.

correct me if im wrong, but Negri doesn't offer Warranty for the phone outright. You have to purchase an additional $99 or $129 plan
Since I'm going prepaid, I'm just going to visit a T-mobile store and pay full price, rather than pre-ordering for the online store. It's better that way because you aren't forced into a credit check and a plan (if your a new customer like me) when you only want the phone.

Got the phone, having dinner and then home to do the swap. Rep at BB is a former Verizon rep and also said I could just swap sims. I will probably do it online as I don't think my tbolt Sim will fit in the One without cutting it.

I'm so pissed....I'm 7 days out of my return policy......$150 too much, so disappointed
I am still within my return period with Costco which ends on Tuesday. Can anyone tell me how to get the BB deal and keep my number?
Would going into BB, buying it, transferring my number, then going to Costco and returning it work?

Upgrading Through Insurance/ Extended Warrenty
I went to the Verizon store and asked a rep how i could upgrade my Incredible 4G to the HTC One, since my phone was cracked he told me I had to go through insurance and pay $100 deductable to get it replaced. Would this still be able to work with the Best Buy version??? I currently am due for an upgrade but I don't want to loose my Unlimited Data at the moment or shell out the full retail price for the One. And is the $50 deal only for new 2 yr contract?

This is what I did. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=44892727
I kept hemming and hawing for weeks about whether to get the One or S4. Seeing the price at BB clinched it. Wanted to continue with HTC. I had the Thunderbolt since it release. Thank goodness for root and developers. Now I wait patiently for root to be obtained without having to send my phone out to be s-off.

He meant he paid $150 too much. He bought it for $199 but now it's $50, so he could have saved $150.
I don't know about you, but I generally like saving $150 whenever I can.
Sent from my HTC One.
I like the seeing the price of phones go down, but I can't help but think that when a phone like the One drops to $50, people get the impression that HTC is not a good phone.
My wife has an s4 and my sister in law just got one. I told her she should have gotten the One and her response was "I'm not getting an HTC."
There are so many people that won't even touch an HTC phone, and I think it is because the carriers drop the price immediately so it looks like a failed product. I haven't checked, but I wouldn't be surprised if the S3 costs more than the One now. I am quite sure the Moto X and s4 will not drop in price anytime soon.

Thanks for clearing that up for me, that's exactly what I was saying.
Its so small, yet noticeable. Paid the full price for the phone, but I'm thinking if I take it back, they'll think I did it. Just because its there, its driving me crazy. What would you guys do?

If you got it from an authorized retailer and you've only had it for a day or so I would bring it into the retail store and try to have it switched out. Call them first, be honest. Hopefully somebody decent will help you out or get authorization from a manager.
It will help if you have some sort of print out (order tracker details stating delivery date and time if shipped or receipt if bought in store) saying when you bought or received it. Call multiple stores until you get the answer you want. Be somewhat confident and aggressive that you paid good money for the phone and you deserve a minute t condition decide upon arrival.

It depends on who you bought it from. If you boutch it from a retailer take it back they'll replace it. But if you didnt you may have a hard time returning it, much less getting a replacement from the same person. Thats why whenever I buy something ie ebay/craigslist/amazon, as soon as I get it I take pictures of it, with the same days newspaper in the picture so it validates the date. and i make sure they have pictures of it before the package it.

I would take it back today. Same day with the nick almost guarantees a replacement even if they do think it was you. You probably lose 50 percent of your chances even by the second day and then from there you might be screwed.

I don't think so I purchased an AT&T version and a tmobile version both were perfect. I haven't seen any complaints on the forums, although a few they seem to be very few and far between. Good luck I'm rootin for the little guy.

Update: Ok I went to the T-Mobile store and they really hesitated to swap out my device. The girl had to call her manager. She did question if I did this, and I told her very humbly that I did not. She was like, well you had the device for 10 hours. Her manager then agreed to let her swap it out.
New device seems fine. No nicks on the bezel.
Hell yea buddy. I was very persistent with them and finally they sold me an sm_s900t with no service plan. It's funny though, I'm actually cancelling my att service tomm and headed to a T Mobile store to start using them as my new wireless carrier. I had no idea that their data plan was so good until today. Peace ATT. I've been with them for 5 years and I still pay 110 a month for my current plan. Better plan for $40 cheaper on

Exactly my scenario. Using TMO on an unlocked att iphone 5S, they sucked. Using a TMO GN3, it's a whole another story. I'm using the $70 prepaid plan, but plan on porting my two att lines over soon. I am so sick of AT&T's locked boot loaders, and them throttling my data every month. What pisses me off the most is not everyone on the old unlimited data plan gets throttled. I was really shocked to see TMo LTE light up in so many places today. With one bar, I pulled 25 down. Yea att is faster, but who cares. Now I won't have to monitor my usage with my unlimited plan.
Yup that's the first thing on my to do list tomm. Att who? Never heard of em.
Should be no problem returning it
One of my buddies, we'll call him " Butterfingers" dropped his brand new T-mobile Note 3 2 hours after opening, while sitting in his room. It fell and slightly dinged a corner. He went to T-Mobile the next day and they overnight a new phone for him, no questions asked. LOL
Glad it worked out for you.
Long story short. Bought the note 7 on a 2 year contract. Verizon will not let me swap for another phone on a contract and are forcing me into a dpp. A rep suggested i return to Samsung directly. Called them (i recorded the call) and they said they will refund me $869 plus $25 for my case and tax. Has anyone else done This? Seems i will profit over 600 doing this. Thoughts?
