One for me and one for the girlfriend.
Sent From My Samsung Galaxy Note 4 Pre Release Edition

Raced down to my local Best Buy this morning when I saw they had some in stock. The guy in front of me was buying one! I asked the sales assistant if they had any more and she said "Yeah, I think we have one more left, let me find it.".
Comes back a couple minutes later and asks her manager where that last moto watch is. The manager says "Oh yeah, I bought it for myself!". You mother f.. I thought. The sales assistant replies to him "How do you sleep at night?".
Guess I'll just have to wait 2-3 weeks for mine to be shipped from Google.

The guy I dealt with at the Best Buy where I bought mine was pissed that he didn't know they got some in since he wasn't allowed to make a purchase on the clock.

Best Buy Knoxville, TN lists it as in stock online and in their site inventory system, but they know it isn't. They just can't be bothered to fix it. Asshats.

It seems like BestBuy may have only gotten the silver Moto 360s, and those may be the one's that have shipped already from Motorola.com as well. Can anyone confirm otherwise? My BestBuy's all are taking In-Store pickup orders for a future date for silver but nada for black.

Friday they had Black, but it seems today it was all silver.

Mine flat out said they only got two silver and no black, and they are the only Best Buy within 120 miles that got any at all.
So the entire stock on hand for an area with a population of over a million people and ~5 Best Buy stores was two watches.
That's pretty darned pathetic, no matter how you slice it.

Mine got 2 black and 2 silver today/late last night.

It's also likely that he was making **** up. From what I've seen they all claim to be "the only one"

Nope. I was watching over his shoulder while he queried the inventory system. Also, most of the other nearby stores are smaller, or mobile-specific.
I stand by what I said: Motorola only provided two units for a combined population over a million people. (And chances are both of those were taken by Best Buy employees, which would explain why they showed stock but had none.)

I read on here that Best Buy employees can't buy stuff during their shift, so they probably stash them away until after work - you're right, that's probably why they show as in Stock all day.
That's exactly what the guy I bought mine from did with the 2nd one they got.

Yeah, when I worked there back in the day, the system would flag if you were clocked in and made a purchase. If it wasn't something like a soda or candy (for a break), you were guaranteed to have a manager talk to you about it. In my experience, always ended in a write-up for those involved. That said, it's certainly possible it was stashed. They get caught doing that, they'll also be written up.
I worked there during the time the Xbox 360 and Wii were hit items. Employees were not allowed to purchase those items. Corporate would often restrict those purchases, and people got terminated for trying to circumvent that policy.

I work at a Best Buy in AZ. Mobile, specifically. The inventory shortage described here is accurate.

Got pics of it? I'll get it from ya.
I literally just bought mine at about 5:20pst at Target but it was priced $34.98. I asked when it was marked down and they told me this morning. Nonetheless, at least I didnt pay full price. So its a win for me.
Either way YMMV per Target location. So check around!

Just picked one up at the same price.
Not really to do with price but how big is the keyboard v the dock for the Transformer? Is it easily portable in a bag say?
To the OP - what region of the country are you in?
In the southwest they are still 49 bucks (Nevada, Arizona, California)

I'm in Texas. One thing I forgot to mention is that my box had two tags. One for the price the other poster took photos of above, and another for the $17. The clerk rang up the Niger of the two. I asked her about it and she peeled back one of the stickers to reveal the original UPC printed on the box. When she scanned it, it rang up the $17 price.

Thanks geekriot. Ill have to ask a Texas friend to check the price for me and snag one.
Do you still experience type delay while using it in the browser?
My Target (in Utah) doesn't even carry it. I was excited, damn.
i found it at target for the $34 price at 2 of my local ones. I called one that was about 20 mins from my house and they had it for $17. the salesman said that the prices on clearance is based on sales in the store, and that they mark electronics clerance down on mondays
I got this keyboard and the wireless mouse for free when I bought the XOOM (well, I actually sold my semi-accurate personal details to them as I had to fill in a marketing page)
check out: motorolaxoompromotion dot co dot uk
(sorry, I am not allowed to post links so you will have to work it out)
They arrive within the next 10 days and I can not wait!

Thanks wonder around elect dept and for the last one 17.49
Got one!
Picked the last one up in Camarillo, CA for $17.49

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
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda app-developers app
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.

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.
Sent from my Amazing Galaxy Note 2!
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.

A Story

A story, by 640k
I have been fascinated by the Moto360 since its initial hype. I had hope it was the smartwatch I was looking for, in an attractive package. Reviews passed, days passed, inventory passed and I still had yet to pull the trigger. It was a Thursday and I managed to leave my gym clothes at home (I usually work out at lunch). Instead of exercising that day, I went and spent money.
Actually, what had transpired that day was this; After a few days of stalking the watch online and coming up short with various methods of wedging in a discount, I finally stumbled across a slickdeals thread that explained if you can find a returned watch at your local Best Buy, you can use a 10% off coupon and get one for less than $200. I was stoked. Ready to buy my first smartwatch, I started checking inventory of my local stores.
All of the Best Buy stores near me had nothing in stock, not even a new one, but for some reason that day I decided to head there anyway. Once I entered the store, I realized I had no idea where to go. It wasn't a smartphone, it wasn't a tablet, and it wasn't in their fitness tracking device section. Where would they place this watch? After some quick guidance, I was led to a display. In the display was exactly one black and one silver Moto360. I played with the demo watches a few times. I picked up the box a few times. I put it on my wrist a few times. I even walked away. Twice.
My lunch hour was running short and so was my decision. I knew that even if I purchased this watch online, I would succumb to taxes. I took the plunge. I rushed back to the office with my purchase (and my cooling lunch) and hurried back to my desk. I ripped open the box (and my lunch) and almost immediately started charging it. I joked around with my friends on Lync about what my wife would say through all of this. I planned for the worst.
That night I kind of hid the watch by keeping my arm under the table. I could tell my wife was suspicious. I could feel her glaring at the watch to determine if she had seen it before. Finally upon putting my 4 y/o to bed, she demanded, "did you get a new watch?" I paused. I answered, "yup."
"How much was that?"
"I got a really good deal!"
The conversation kind of ended. I felt like I escaped unscathed. Not much else was said but I could tell I was being judged. Little did I know, my wife had no idea what I actually purchased. My kids figured it out before she did. Fast forward to the weekend. Pandora is streaming on the ChromeCast. I show the kids how I've got the images from the music playing on my watch. They think it's kind of neat but are not sure why. The wife walks in.
I get a glare. Then, a snide comment (and probably an eye roll). She's busy, so she moves along.
By this time I feel as she's figured out the situation. The watch doesn't come up in conversation again, until last night. I get an email on my phone and immediately check my watch. I read the email, then dismiss it.
"Did you just check something on your phone with your watch?"
"Yeah!"
"OMG, smartphones are ruining society, you don't have to be connected ALL THE TIME!"
It took my wife all of five days for her to realize what I had purchased and I now know to expect another snide remark about connectivity, etc. (while she's got her face buried in her Facebook).
LONG STORY SHORT, I LOVE THIS WATCH!

I like your story 640k. I went into a Best Buyt thinking if they had one in stock I would buy one. Of course they had one left so I bought it. My wife came home later that night and I immediately told her I had bought a smartwatch. After a couple of questions she let me be.
Every now and then she sees me glance at my watch and swipe away a notification and says that is kind of cool.
I have a story. It's a short one.
This watch is rarer then rocking horse s**t! Ordered 1st October. Still awaiting stock.

If you order on a store, you can put a certain amount of money down and decrease the amount paid each month or the amount of months left to pay.
If ordering online, you only have the option given according to your credit.
-Edit. They only have Black and White?! I really wanted the Green version.

Article was posted online yesterday that US carriers are not getting green anytime soon.
Gold should be available to order on T-mo in the next week or two.
Remember that if you purchase it at a T-Mobile Corporate Store you won't have to screw around in case you want to return the device. If you order online, you have to ship it back (you pay for shipping) and only then will you receive a credit on your bill...in 2 billing cycles!

if you are a new jump user and put more extra money down it lowers your payment each month. However, if you're a existing jump user the payment stays the same no matter how much you put down the only thing that lowers is the amount of months you'll pay.

Seems dubious to me could be wrong but why single out one supplier (ebay seller?) bad wording errors if that was the case then why is it not posted on Samsung's sites.

Well, could be any number of reasons, maybe it just got released internally?, no idea. It does makes more sense to me that those devices affected can be identified by some sort of triage, rather than recalling all devices (which semed odd since the start). I followed the QR code and it des link to samsung website. I am not saying that this is 100% true, but it does make sense. Posted this to stop the massive Note 7 abuse before someone may regret it
I agree, this is a badly written letter and looks completely fake.
.
I am not convinced quite yet.
It's badly written because it's written by Asians? Perhaps?
I am Asian by the way. And this is fine. I've seen far worse letters than this.

I don't disagree.
However, I'd wait for tomorrow. It's the weekends here, so I'll look out for Monday for any kind of announcement.
I would really hope that this company wouldn't fake an internal letter like this. I wouldn't be surprised if Samsung took a faked letter like this extremely seriously considering the circumstances. So I'm on the fence in this one but really hope someone wouldn't take that chance. It has a customer number on it. Someone could easily call Samsung and get this verified.

Fake. There is no chance they would publicly announce a world wide recall, then a day later say 'Oops, we mean world wide recall. Except for this batch of phones. Our bad.' If they where wrong about that batch of phones they would get crucified. Nope, that seller just doesn't want to deal with the headache of returning all the units they sold, and returning all that money.
So if you bought from this seller you stuck with the phone you have or file a case with eBay and get your money back since you're within 30day eBay return policy and buy another device when they are fixed. That's your only two choices.

My UK Note7 pre-order was canceled on the 1st Sept, so I'm waiting to see if Samsung can narrow down affected batches and release the unaffected devices...
If you want to check the date your Note 7 or any Samsung device was manufactured type this into the phone dialer *#12580*369# the "RF Cal" field is the date of device manufacture, if that information even helps in anyway Im not sure yet.
A worldwide recall is just that. Every phone that was sold. This letter is total BS.
This is one of many reasons why eBay just even an option to buy stuff for me. If it isnt Amazonable then it's not worth it, I get you want a deal and access to unlocked devices and whatnot but eBay has and will always be that "scummy dark alley" place for sellers, and by the looks of this letter (which looks so sketchy) this is another prime example of that. I wouldn't trust this at all, looks like he's just wants to keep his money and not deal with returns.

Yes. If it were real, Samsung should fire their PR. You don't go anouncing a worldwide recall and then say whoops, we didn't mean it. And wait a whole weekend to correct it. This is a huge blow for them and it is exceptionally hard on us customers worrying we might have ticking time bombs in our possesion. If they back out of their statement after a weekend of not caring, they will ruin their reputation further. They will appear non credible. Excuse me but exploding phones warrant Samsung managment and PR works all weekend!
I agree. This letter is fake. It's a (mostly) well done fake, but a fake. IMO, it's Tropical trying to keep from having to take back all the phones they've sold.
In the US and the EU they would have little choice, in Singapore I'm not sure if they can weasel out of it or not.
I've already received my email from Amazon saying that they will send a full refund for the phone and any accessories I have purchased there. It was not this seller (Tropical) but of course as an FD model it is grey market and was sold without warranty. The email also said that if I sold the phone I should notify the person I sold it to so that they can return it for a refund. Lastly it stated that the return hadn't been hashed out yet and not to send it until they were ready.
I'm going to extrapolate a little here with a few guesses. The fact that Amazon also specifically mentioned a further buyer and my phone is already grey market implies that Samsung is going after all the phones regardless of where/how they were purchased. That they don't want me to send it yet gives me the impression they don't know exactly what they are going to do with it or how the process will go which would mean Samsung hasn't yet hashed it out internally how they will handle the grey market phones and given that information to those that sold them.
Those are guesses Gents, I have no special knowledge, I'm just reading the tea leaves.
I bought my phone from LuLu Mall here from Riyadh ( SA ).
Model is : SM N930FD
Made in Vietnam.
How we can confirm that my phone will also come under the recall process ? I have been using the device for like past 3 days and i don't feel any Lag, battery drain or Over heating while charging or using the phone.
