I believe he either does not have a qualifying upgrade or does not want to buy it on contract however wants the phone in which case your best bet would be the waiting game on craigslist or ebay.
I'd advise against Craigslist or Ebay. I had to get two replacements from Best Buy before I got a Nexus S that operated normally. If you get a phone off Ebay or CL with an unresponsive back button, you're stuck with it or you've got to sell it and try again.

I agree, I never buy things off ebay for that reason but at least with Craigslist he can try the phone before buying it (or at least you should always try before you buy, if they won't let you don't buy it).

Again, I'd say play the waiting game with Craigslist. What phone do you have now? Might be able to sell it and get some money for that and cut the cost of the Nexus S down. Alternatively, there are other phones out there that are cheaper off contract will function just as well.

580 is NOT bad when you compare it to other smartphones with no commitment pricing. $20 cheaper than a iPhone 4 actually.

If you buy the phone full price, your service is $20/month cheaper (Even More Plus plan instead of Even More plan).

the SNS I9020 is actually over priced if you ask me

I have both of those phones.
If I could only have one, it would without a doubt be the Nexus S.
I paid almost $700 for my i9000 last July.
Here's some math to help you feel better about buying unlocked.
If you were able to buy it at the discounted price, your total cost of ownership would look like this:
$199 Nexus S + extra $20/month over 24 month Even More contract = $680
If you buy it unlocked, your total cost of ownership looks like this:
$529 Nexus S, no contract on Even More Plus = $529
Even if you're on Even More right now, you also qualify to drop it down to Even More Plus if you're more than 12 months into your contract. So it may look like it's a lot of money up front, but you're saving more in the long run and won't be under contract.

Why did I spend so much money on this phone again? I remember with my iPhones they retained their value, this is a HUGE degradation in a matter of months? I guess I won't be able to sell this phone when I'm ready to upgrade.

You do realise there's a HUGE difference between an iPhone and... well... any other phone, right? People flock to iPhones like gnats to a sweaty forehead. And not even just the US. Hell, i sold my iPhone 4 that i had since they came out to someone in Russia for $450. That was enough to cover the cost of the iPhone when i originally bought it, PLUS the Atrix. I've only ever seen one person NOT in an AT&T store that had an Atrix. Just about every smartphone you see on the street is some version of the iPhone. And with the 3GS now being $49.... I'd imagine that ratio will be even higher. People don't know how to find a good phone. They know what is crammed down their throat no matter where they turn... and that just happens to be any Apple product, really.
Hell... look on TV. You see at least 5 iPhone commercials for every single Atrix commercial... and they advertise the lapdock more than the phone itself it seems.

Dunno, they still seem to go for a fairly nice sum of money. I'd imagine it would still be rather nice a bit from now, especially being a dual core.
yeah store was closed here. I tried calling att to see if they would price match the 100 bucks at bestbuy and they told me nope and if i wanted bestbuy's price i should cancel and goto bestbuy. does att charge a restocking fee for canceling a plan within the 30 days?

Yes. Check their website for the exact amount.
BTW, they give this phone for free in Europe with contract.

I ordered mine through Amazon for 1 cent with free 2 day shipping with a new contract. No taxes on the value of the phone and its 1 cent out the door. It may be free at Best Buy but be prepared to pay sales tax on 699.99 (their regular price wtf?). Thats $57.74 where I live (OC at 8.25% sales tax). Best Buy is not good for new contracts but good if you are renewing your contract because Amazon charges 99.99 for renewals. It is still free for renewing your contract at Best Buy.

Sales tax? What's that? I don't pay no sales tax.
I got mine 2 days ago for free at best buy. Sprint model. I live a hour and a half away from the closest best buy, so I called to see how much it was. The lady that answered said free. Well I drive up there and its $99 with upgrade. So I told the manager what happened and he gave it to me for free.

No you can get one under your name. You keep the iPhone you have. I got the Nexsus S on Saturday and will be going tomorrow to get my $99 back. It is actually cheaper to get on contract and cancel later as you will only have paid around $340 vs $529 buy out right without contract at Best Buy.

How can they offer a discount with an ATT plan????
Seems suspicious to me...but good luck if you go with it!
Im only guessing here but I bet a phone vendor could sign you up for ATT with any phone, like an iPhone. Then turn around and sell that iPhone at retail to another person. But give you the 2 year discount on the Note.

That's exactly what I was thinking. Vendor signs you up for a new 2 year contract with at&t. They choose iphone 4s as your new phone. They keep the 4s and sell it for like $600 bucks. They are then able to offer you the note for $599
I would cut the middle man out and just do it yourself if you don't already have an at&t contract or are not in upgrade status.

Did you order for $599, or did you do the contract? If legit, the contract is very tempting.

The contract is only $200 cheaper. If you instead extend your contract with buying an iphone 4s, you'll come out far ahead. You'll pay $200 (instead of $400) and you can sell it on ebay for $600 at least then use that money for the Note. So in effect the iphone route is at least $200 cheaper for the same end result. That is assuming this is legit, and ignoring ebay fees (use craigslist.)

I also just called them up. I work in NYC and they seem to offer local pickup, so what better way to see if they actually have it in stock then to walk over there...The person that answered said it was out of stock and due back in, in about 2 weeks.
When I pressed for a more specific date, he just said he wasn't sure, but about 2 weeks.
...All kinds of red flags here.

Thanks. I was partially looking at it as a convenience issue (not having to deal with reselling, no fees, no uncertainty of what it ultimately sells for), but you're right, $200, or even $100, is a big chunk for convenience. But ultimately, it's not very convenient if "electropirise" screws you over.

Watching this thread since I wouldn't advice anyone to order anything from that website and I'm really curious to see if they will deliver.
There's another thread discussing the website that OP bought the phone. Always use the search button.
Just wanted to make everyone aware that Amazon is selling Notes for $660 shipped. That is the cheapest I've seen ANYWHERE on the web. I picked one up today through amazon, fulfilled by the oem shop.
Hopefully I'll get a new unit that hasn't been opened.

As an employee of best buy in Canada I can tell you that the company won't be selling the phone outright. (Galaxy nexus wasn't sold either) Makes absolutely no profit (all profits come from activations not phone sales) so your best bet, and mine, is the Google play store.

UK buyer here. I was under the impression that the £279 for the 16 gig included tax.
After having another look on the "Devices on Google Play Terms of Sale (Great Britain)" page it states:
All prices include VAT.
All applicable taxes will be presented at checkout, even if they are not displayed on the product page.
So what is it, the price shown includes VAT, or it doesnt and an extra 80 quid will be thrown on top of the 279?

Purty fast shipping and cheap.
You could have agreed for a Nexus 4 contract with TMo, pay 200 for the phone and immediately cancel and pay the ETF for 200. Total, 200+200+tax (free activation promo).

what a waste, ur $.
For someone that lives in the US and had a decent phone [Note 2], it makes very little sense to me why you'd go to ebay for the Nexus 4.
Just wait a little dude, and you'd save yourself even more money.
They reason I did the deal is because I make money buying and selling phones and also I have an Int s3 and a backup Note 2...I have alot of people here where Im from who wants the Nexus 4 and will pay top dollar...I usually buy every phone that comes out and maybe keep them for a month at the longest and resell for something else...its a hobby...I already got a sell for my nexus 4 for 650...bcuz like me people dont wanna wait 4 weeks or more for a phone...sorry if you guys dont understand I myself like to try out every phone instead of being on here saying this phone is better or that phone is better...I just try them all...maybe ill find a phone worth sticking with but I enjoy all of them...but once again its just something I like to do and its a hobby sorry if I offended some of you...just was stating a deal I got...

So let me get this straight Note 2 sells for 700...S3 sells for 600...Iphone 5 sells for 800....do anyone get my drift...and the nexus is better than all of those...I bought one for 500 only to sell it for 650...so basically everyone thinks this phone isnt worth wat others are selling easy for...c'mon man....Im a hustla I made 150 profit can anyone blame me....damn...no dissrespect.... but if you had 500 to spend to make 650 in the same day why wouldnt you....and Ceejay I made a 100+ more than you on my 8gb Nexus...lol
uhhh who would buy a 8gb for $650?!?! 16gb don't even sell for that much on ebay, so you're not making any sense

I have never understood why eBay brings high prices. Some people just get in bidding process and feel urge to bid more.
Just all comes down to how bad someone wants the product .
And someone's phone might have broke,water damage etc and they cannot wait 4-5 weeks. They need a phone in 1-2 days.
So lots of factors why someone would pay $650 for a $400 phone ($350 plus 5-10% sales taxes plus $13 shipping).
And some people either are afraid of craigslist or just live in an area where there aren't a lot of craigslist sales.

How is your headphone hole? I have the black one and it's 1mm off, enough to have the jack curved sideways a bit when plugged in.

Minus your $60 ebay fee, minus $20 paypal fees, minus $10-15 in shipping to the winner of the auction, means you netted $555. Meanwhile the guy that sold it on CL for $520, netted $520 and didn't have to deal with running an auction, or shipping an item out. Seems like a lot of extra work for $35.
You are insane. You said you sold your Note 2 but you have a backup note 2? WTF!? Who has money to waste like this. I'd much rather wait for the phone and pay $350 than way over retail. Yes those other phones are high priced but that's what they set them for retail. The Nexus 4 is better but was set at much lower retail and I'm not willing to pay over retail. I don't have $600 to go waste on a phone.

next....just got another one in off an even trade of craiglist...I traded an international s3....I know have both phones nexus 4 and note 2....+150 to buy accessories for the Nexus 4 guys....now do you all have an clear understading....
Im a business man and dont have time to wait on phones from google...money and time dont wait on no one neither will I...but once again this is what I do buy sell trade phones...
you guys bought your nexus to keep and hold...not me...I bought it because i wanted to try it out and sell it for the next big thing...like i said in my first post phones are a hobby for me....i get bored with the same phone after about a month...so thats why I buy sell and trade i love the new experience....hope u guys understand that everyone has something they like to do or something their good at....phones is just my thing man...just look at my previous device list thats only from a couple of months ago and I didnt list everything just got tired of typing like now lol...
If you're asking if we would have done the same, the majority of us would answer no. People are calling you crazy because you were willing to pay a huge premium; you don't necessarily have to agree with them if you're happy with your decision since it's your money and your phone at the end of the day.

You can do whatever you want with your money -- I just can't believe that you got a 8GB Nexus 4 for $500 (intending to keep it and buy accessories with the $100 "profit") to changing your mind and finding a buyer in your network (without phone in-hand) for $150 more, all within 20 minutes.
I think your business model and obsession with phones no matter the premium makes no sense, but to each his own.
