I was browsing around the store and I asked them if they had any in stock and they said they had one, the employee went to get it and told me the price and I almost fell over, they wanted $299 for it. Then the manager approaches me and says if you buy that today I will give you 10% off.
I thought these were being sold cheaper in the stores, not that high.
Haha, that's Hilarious. I'd start laughing my ass off.
the cheap price was online only, I believe. but people were able to get it at the stores at the low price when they showed proof of online purchase.
or something like that.

I tried to hold back the laughter in front of the manager, I shook my head and said thank you if I need to purchase one of these I will more than likely be doing so online.

I'd laugh at that price too. However, still better than on the Motorola website for $499.99. Unfortunately you can't get it on the AT&T website anymore. I was fortunate to get one when they were selling them for $50. Your best bet is to go with what anothersmith did and get one from all4cellular.

I bought one in the AT&T store about 3 weeks ago. The quoted me $99, and when I asked if there was anything else he could do, the manager took 25% off, for a final price of ~75 + tax. He told me that these docks are collecting dust, and they weren't even sure if they had any to sell when I first asked.
I think if you go to another store, or hit another manager up, you should be able to get a comparable deal. Good luck!
Yeah same here. I bought my in January and it was $99, well after they ran out online. The store was even running a buy one get one half off on all the other Atrix Accessories (excluding the Lapdock unfortunately).

I wasn't aware at&t stores could vary their prices. That's pretty good of them.
Btw, how was the quality and service of allforcelluar. Considering buying there if I can't get a better d
Due to the lack of alternatives in compacts only (iphone se which has to small display, no notification led and iphone 7 without headphone jack) i have preordered this little black powerhorse. In Germany you get additionally headphones when preordering (Value 220€-300€). the ones that were presented at ifa.
when LG would produce a v30 mini i would immediately buy this. Really like the mics in v30 that allow to record a loud festival. hope that the xz1 compact will not fail at this.
i finally need a new modern phone compared to my z3 compact. i hope that the touchscreen will be this time more responsive than the one on x compact when typing letter p or q from the side through the curved glass. now lets wait 3 weeks

I'm sat with the money waiting too, not been this excited for a new phone since waiting for my Z1 Compact. Looks like they're still putting the power button in upside down though.
Debating ordering from Clove again. I can't believe that it'll be cheaper by about 12% to import to the US than buying at the local Best Buy.

Where are you seeing the price for it at Best Buy? I ordered my X Compact from Clove as well. Looks like they are offering some free bluetooth headphones if you order from them. I suppose you could sell those and knock off some more of the price right there. :good:

MSRP is $600 for the compact and the headphones are limited to the first 400 or so registered. I have some Best Buy credit, so I'll probably get it local in case I'll need to exchange it.
Is it available in the US yet

Well, Clove just told me that they won't have the Blue color, which I wanted, at launch. Apparently the Blue will be exclusive to Carphone Warehouse at launch. Looks like I'll be waiting to see what Best Buy and Amazon get.
Is there any way to get carphone warehouse to sell to someone in the US? I really want the blue phone

From their website, it says only UK. Maybe the blue color US version will be available at Best buy or Amazon here but you'll have to deal with no fingerprint scanner out of the box (hopefully firmware flash will fix).
The Blue is available from Handtec, but without any pre-order bonuses.
I read through that tmo/lte thread. Do we know yet whether the european version of this phone is going to be fully compatible with tmo/att in the US?
I'm very excited about this phone. It has been a long time since I used a smaller handset, but I think I'll like the 1 hand usability a lot more.
Hope is worth to wait 3 weeks
Preordered a week ago as an upgrade from CarPhone Warehouse hope we gonna get root soon. I am still using my 2 years old Xperia Z3 Compact without any issue except the loudspeaker issue with android 6.0.1 still there i learned to live with it. Was looking for different phones like LG Q6 but CPW cannot provide that either just like the other 4 i was asking for. Got a few dosen calls from the sales team and they insisted that i should chose a huawei P10 or a samsung S8/plus even i told them that these units are too big for my taste and [email protected] for me. Finally i spotted XZ1 Compact.

What is this loudspeaker issue that you speak of? I'm not noticing any such issue with my Z3C.
When you put it on loud during a call the other party hear crackling and bubling when they speak. I have two z3c and both duing it. Plus when i switch back to phone speaker the nic gets disconnected so nobody hear my voice. Lol

I preordered from clove, seem to be the only ones with a bonus. Carphone warehouse had the XZ1 offer of the hear headphones on the first day, but that seemed incorrect and they removed it pretty quick. Either way, the actual odds of getting a set of those headphones were really limited as it was only first 400 customers or something.
The clove offer is a bluetooth adapter by the looks of things, not actually headphones. It just allows you to plug your existing headphones in and clip it to your shirt or something. Seems like a good idea.
I've got a Z3C at the moment, but my screen is beginning to lift off and it's taken out the headphone socket in the process. I also can't imagine it'll get any more updates to it.
Uk release date is 29th hope i gonna get it soon after. In carphone warehouse i been told anyone who preorders it before 21th could get the bt headsets.

never-msrp (well known USA seller) on eBay supposedly has the Compact in stock. It's the international version, so assuming no US warranty, though. I ordered the blue version and says I should receive it by Tuesday, Sept 26.

I pre ordered a 64gb Pixel XL black. I show a shipping date of Oct 17th. My bank account was charged this morning for for the phone. Is anyone else having this issue? I should not have been charged Until the phone ships.
The amount is reserved from your credit card, and charged just before the phone is shipped. You won't be charged by your bank until the phone is shipped.
That is the way it has always been. Yes my account was charged for the total amount. I have checked my shipping status and nothing has changed. It could be the phone has shipped. I had read here on XDA that someone had indicated their shipping status had changed to shipped.
£799 isn't for me, it doesn't offer enough change to warrant that............Mate 10 looks more interesting
I just ordered my Pixel XL 2. Have not checked bank charge online yet to see if they billed card yet
I ordered but have not gotten a initial hold charge on my card...should I be worried
Anyone going to send their old one in for buy back?
Also T-mo is offering to pay for half of one if you bring it over....
I was charged as well, mine shows an arrival date of the 20th-24th for the Pixel 2 XL 64GB black.

I am sending my Pixel XL in after I receive the new one. Google is offering the highest trade value @ $400 verses $300 on Verizon.
Whenever I've ordered a phone, I have never gotten charged until it shipped. My galaxy s7 edge preorder was that way. I got a shipping notice within a day I think? Anyway, *hopefully* that means they are shipping early! I would be thrilled. This sammy phone needs to gtfo... Anyway, I checked my finance site, shows pending still. Not sure if the financing deal will work the same though. I would think it would though in case you decided to cancel the order. I guess we'll see! Update this for sure if you get a shipped notice!

I signed up for the trade in, but I'll see what my 128GB Pixel XL is going for on Swappa and eBay before I decide to send it to Google or not. I'd like to sell my cases, screensavers, and original Daydream with the phone, and of course Google won't give me anything for them.
It's not a charge. It's a pending authorization to make sure the funds are in your account. This usually drops off in 2 to 10 business days if the phone has not shipped by then. It's a very common practice I don't know why people think it's going to ship early.

You sure it won't mess up your order if you don't follow through with the trade-in? I called and was told it would. You might want to check it out.

What did they tell you exactly? Since you don't send in the trade in until after you receive the new phone, I would think that all they can do is void the trade in deal. If I can sell it for more than the trade in, that is what I would want anyway.

The recovery kit has already been shipped to me. It should be here tomorrow. I should know more then.. They said if I don't follow through with the trade-in my order would be be voided. I was shocked! He said, I'd have to cancel my order and re-order if I was going to sell my phone to my friend.

I don't really believe that, because my order was placed on the 4th with trade-in. My order shipped on the 30th. Estimated delivery of Nov 4-6. I need that new phone in my hands before I even think of sending my XL back, and that will be over the 30 days. So if I have the 2XL in my hands, how would me not following through with the trade-in affect my order? Doesn't make sense.. 30 days starts when you receive the new phone; your order can't be affected by you sending/not sending your old phone in.

I am. $400 for a used 32 GB Pixel XL Black was too much to pass up. $500 for the new pixel is fine with me. I wasn't even considering it until I saw how much they are offering for 1st gens.

I don't believe that either. When checking out with the trade-in, it was almost like a separate line item or transaction. You have to pay full price up front for the phone and I really doubt they would void your purchase after already shipping your new Pixel XL 2.
If I had a bunch of extra accessories, I'd definitely try to sell it as a bundle for more.
One of the great things that happened with my S8, aside from the phone itself, was the bundle being offered at the time. VR headset + 256gb memory card and bluetooth wireless AKG (?) headphones for $100. Is nothing like that being offered this time?
it looks Samsung is 150% confident they will smash it this year with s9 range - no sway gifts offered - hahaha - for me they'd need to offer a Tesla X model complimentary with the phone - to buy it
AKG headphones bundles still there. Depends on the country I guess.
I'm just waiting for the BOGO like they had last year.

nothing bundled here they are offering extra money for old phone or cash back on hdfc cards.
Yeah I remember when early adopters used to get stuff like chargers and sd cards, Gear, etc, but looks like that is done.
i just got a standing cover, not bad
Depending on the country/store i guess. Bought mine with screen insurance, Harman kardon onyx 3 and an instore gift card for about 60 dollars. Total cost for the phone+insurance+onyx 3 after one year is about 1000 dollars.
I got it from my carrier - Orange (Romania). It came in a bundle with a Samsung BT speaker called Scoop. I also received a 50 euro voucher for accessories and 1 year of premium insurance.
There have been some discussions during the last week of Jan regarding a bundle of S20 + buds+ for free if you Pre-order.
I'm on Tmobile US and did not see any mentioning of that, nothing was mentioned also during the announcement.
Does anyone have any details on that?
Thanks.

It does and it doesn't! Pre-order on Samsung.com and you get a $200 samsung shop credit, which you can use for the buds+.
I'm on the tmobile Jump program so I was planning to upgrade through them.
Last year I did the same for my S10+. They ran similar promotion and I got my Buds..
Just hoping that tmobile will do the same though no info from there on that.
amazon rulz
hi everyone,
pre-ordered my S20 Ultra Silver Grey on Amazon and l got the confirnation that after i will receive them, i will also get the Buds+ from Samsung. super!
Pre-ordered a S20 Ultra 5G yesterday on Italian Samsung website and, yes, there is the free buds+ promotion. Yeah!!!!
For the S10 you bought the phone then submitted a receipt to Samsung. They give you a credit for the price of the buds, but you could spend it on other things if you wanted.

I think there was a form I had to fill up with Samsung... But whatever that is, I hope I will eventually get the Buds+ for free if I get my phone through Tmobile.
I get the buds plus for free as well , just as well with the 1500 spent on the 512gb version , only a pain not getting mine until march 12 ( holland) and not on the 6th like everyone else.went for the grey version as i have not yet had a grey phone before. The option for the free buds was in the ordering options on samsungs website.
pre ordered from UK Vodafone not sure how you submit proof of purchase for the buds+ offer when you buy through their call centre?
anyone have experience in this with previous deals with UK Vodafone?
So in the US, we get a $200 credit, no free buds. I was hoping for the free bauds, and the credit. Oh well.
Doesn't the freebie depend on if you buy from the carrier or from samsung? I know it has differed in the past. Hoping for the credit though so I can get the buds and a case

In the us, only the $200 credit is available.
It comes with a $200 credit, and have the option to spend or use it during the pre order. I used it to buy the Galaxy Watch 2, added $49 only.
It depends on the region. US and Korea get a credit and for example Europe gets the Buds+.
T-Mobile just reminded me you get the credit when you sign in and register with your new phone on Shop Samsung. It'll be the $200 credit.
Just preordered the Ultra. Used $200 credit for the free AKG Noise Canceling cans instead (I already have way too many true wireless earbuds, but didn't have any NC anything, so that made up my mind).
You have to go on the Samsung shop app once you get your phone if you ordered outside of Samsung.com or Samsung shop and enter your imei and upload your receipt from your carrier. Then you will get $200 in like 2-6 weeks. I actually got $235 because I registered when they first sent emails out about pre-orders.
I got an email this morning saying pre orders were ready. When I clicked the link within the email, I followed through with the order and was able to get the $235 instant credit since the email was tied to my reservation. Was able to order myself the new Galaxy Buds+, the 45 watt fast wall charger, and black silicon case. Not a bad deal at all especially with me getting $600 off for my S10+. Said delivery by March 4th, less then 2 weeks away ???
