How much would you buy the Galaxy Tab now? - Galaxy Tab General

Since the wi-fi version will come out on April 4 and the fact that the SGT has been out since November, how much do you think is a good price for a used SGT?
I have looked on Craigslist and the average price for the T-mobile version is $400.
There seems to not be a lot of AT&T version.
I do not want the Sprint or Verizon version.
Do you think a used SGT for $400 at this time is a good deal or should it be less?
I have the Xoom currently but I want to buy the SGT for my wife. It is small enough to put it in her purse.

Another question for you guys:
1. Would you buy the brand new AT&T SGT with its current price or a used $400 (with no tax) on a T-mobile SGT ?
Thanks.

I paid $499 for my VZW Tab and it was worth every penny. If you are buying it for what it does out of the box you won't be disappointed. If your like every other idiot I've met and you buy Android devices for what some developer MAY develop EVENTUALLY or not at all, you will be disappointed.
I also think $400 is a little high atm for a used Tab.

$300.00CDN. No more.

My threshold was sub $300. When it hit $299 at Costco for the VZW tab without a contract, I jumped on it. Development and BT capabilities are behind their GSM brethen, but it was worth the significant savings to me and it runs well for me overclocked to 1.4ghz.

I just paid 300 usd for my sprint one and love it. I dont like any other carriers data plans.

Price Increase So Soon?

I've got melting plastic in my wallett, itching to be used. Given the prices from last week, £360 for a Galaxy Tab, I was trying to resist til the 14th to make my decision.
But today I though, nah, must have one. Playback my DivX... Hooked up the two websites and...
Nope, that's me put off for a while.
Carphone Warehouse want £399.
Tesco Direct want £449.
Clove want £442
Expansys want £499
PC World want £407
Amazon want £408
Scan £450
Ahh well. Looks like Im waiting for the Galaxy Tab 2
try bestbuy.co.uk, main page says 399, but further down it mentions other deals, such as tab+16gig upgrade+pay as you go sim for 359
There going for $250 on contract in the U.S.
I got mine for $50 from TMOUS! Great deals to be had stateside.

how did you get it for $50 Pittphan? i'm also looking to pick one up on contract. if i can get it less than the advertised $250 on t mobile i'd love to do so. thanks!
i just check tmo's site and it's increased $100 off contract. last week i was considering getting another galaxy tablet and it was listed as $500 off contract for about a month. now it's back up to $600 off contract - you do get $50 off if you order online though.
actually it seems the price changes depending on what page you view -
prepaid is $600 plus web discount of $50 off. LINK
"normal" contract says retail is $500 LINK
kinda stupid to list the retail value differently for the same product.

Factory refurb SGT 7 (cdma your choice of vzw or sprint) on woot today!

The daily deal website Woot.com (trusted, i've ordered quite a few things from them in the past, they are great) has original 7" Galaxy Tab CDMA units on sale (your choice of sprint or verizon) for $199 +$5 shipping.
seems like a great deal considering that I paid $350 on ebay for a well cared for tmobile SGT 7" about 3 months ago, and that seemed like the general used going rate. (honestly i feel a little insulted that it can be had for such a low rate now).
anyhow, just wanted to let people know about a great deal if you guys are interested. I am in no way affiliated with woot, just a happy past customer who is always out for a great deal.
http://deals.woot.com/sellout
also, btw, woot only keeps it's deals up for 24 hours max (or until they sell out of units), so if you're interested: the sooner, the better.
I JUST bought mine... it was too good to pass up, even if the model is not a good one for flashing on, which im sure it is because i've been looking at a 7inch tablet for a while now, it was too good a deal for a 16gb 7in for me to pass.
i got 2. one for my GF one for my Dad. I have a 10.1 and love it. A little dissapointed that it only has gingerbread but i guess thats because it is single core.
I was going to get my GF the Amazon Fire but a full tablet for the same price seems like the way to go.
not going to activate 3g though. wifi is fine.
Maybe the fact that Woot just sold 1500 CDMA tabs to a (generally) tech-savvy audience will spur some additional CDMA tab development ... never know!

Note keeping its value and gaining value

I have been looking for a note and noticed that the prices haven't came down and have risen in some stores. Thats pretty cool and shows its a great idea.
I'm selling my and Ebay for 600
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
oh yes! I seen the cheapest one from Amazon Fulfilled was $630 last month...I got mine for $680 - $10 (credit for future purchase) on 12/30/2011.
Now the cheapest from Amazon seller is $725.
It is pretty remarkable. I got it for $649 from Amazon two weeks ago...now it's approaching $800.
Prices will tank once AT&T launches so if you are on the fence today, I'd sell while it's hot.
No mine isn't for sale
I wouldn't sell if I bought unlocked international for cheaper than $650. ATT locked down and filled with bloat will suck. I wish I hadn't dropped and cracked mine. It also shows that it is a product consumers really want.

I don't think it is too wise to be getting the ATT version which is a big downgrade with its Qualcomm S3, especially the international version is also compatible with its network.
We got them all over hong kong. I spent 550 usd for this one.

Only reason why prices are going up is because less people are importing the Note now that AT&T has announced its version. I guess from their perspective, some of these gray-market importers are worried that people might no longer purchase their stock now that it is available in the US.
Less supply = Price jump.

I don't buy it new egg can't keep them in stock. On amazon they are going up in price when everything else decreases.
i have been looking for a galaxy note for a week and it is out of stock every where i have looked.
I noticed a general drop in supply and increase in demand for all devices, probably seasonal.
People want Samsung smartphones and there were supply problems. At some point, of 250 suppliers only 20 had the product in stock.
Also the S II increased in price and was/is available here in Europe for 450 euros, just 50 euros less then the Note. Supply dropped so much that even used S II could get more then 400 euros. The Note is at 500/550 euros here. Was sold out on Amazon (not amazon marketplace). At that moment the price of a used Note and a new Note were the same on Amazon Germany (marketplace).
But the Note is not the S II. The Note is a niche product and nobody knows how big this niche will be in the future.
On Ebay the best worldwide price for a new Note is 519 euros + shipping.
About the Note i717 version, it is not the same phone. The i717 version has lte but no exynos. It is has value in the US, but outside the US, in many countries it is not LTE compatible.
So outside the US, with the i717 version you do not get exynos and also do not have the benefit of LTE. And the i717 has this typically american modification of the 4 touch keys.

In the States everything but the note has dropped. The Galaxy nexus is down and available everywhere and so is the s2.
When the US major carriers get their version specific hand sets you would see a sharp drop in prices, increase number of users/modders and even other unwelcome posts in the forums. Till then enjoy

In the US the market for Note international is a small, unofficial, importers market.
Officially, the Note International does not exist on the normal US market. Samsung USA does not offer it or list it as an existing product.
Why should a product that does not exist on the US market fall in price?
It may even increase in price when people find out the international version is much better because it has exynos. With the price of i717 falling from everyone selling and the Note international price rising from everyone buying.

99% of the users wont care for specs, what they care is about how they get the device and how easy it will be to obtain after market support and also those phones that come free or partially paid with the contract. But lets just wait and see.

More but not by much.
The thing with the Note is that once you use it you realise how fantastic it is. This feeds through to reviews and word of mouth. Was playing with a friends Galaxy S2 today and it felt so underwhelming and small . Samsung have redefined PDAs with this device. Can't imagine going to anything smaller or slower.
I bought the white note 5 days ago and I love every second using it. Its pure magic...
White is truly beautiful on this device.

[Q] Nexus 4 or T-Mobile Galaxy S 3

I have run into a problem! I LOVE Google and have been waiting for the Nexus 4 to be available. I am due for an upgrade so TMO will sell me the N4 for $200 but the S3 for free. Which one is better for the next two years? Should I dish out $200 and get the Nexus 4? Or should I save my money and stick with the S3 and perhaps get the much awaited S4..

That $200 comes with a huge caveat. You have to pay $15 a month until you pay off the total of $499.99.
$299 or $349 off contract versus $500 "upgrade".
Yeah no thanks T-Mobile

That's only true with some plans, others just have the $200 price (after $50 MIR).
I'm due for an upgrade, too; I'm thinking about buying the N4 from the Play Store and then using the upgrade on a free S3 (through this upcoming sale: http://www.tmonews.com/2012/11/t-mobile-holding-two-day-samsung-sale-on-november-16th-17th/) and selling the S3 to get some/all of the N4's cost back.
I was thinking the same thing!

I was thinking the exact same thing! Except why go through all that trouble when I can keep the SIII..Because when the S4 comes out I can simply sell the SIII for a reasonable price which will help me get the S4 but the N4 is cheap with Google meaning I cant sell it for much cheaper..
S3 is beast but slow with updates and more expensive when buying off contract. Nexus 4 is beastly but not as much as S3 and you will be first for updates plus $329 off contract. Get the Nexus.

The S3 will be free for me with a sale TMO is having next friday though Also the US S3 (the one I am contemplating on getting) is duel-core while the N4 has a much appreciated quad-core CPU so wouldnt that make the N4 superior to the S3?

If s3 was offered for free I see why there is any hesitation. s3 for sure and is no brainer.
I would go with note 2 though if u were to pay 200 for a new phone on a contract.
N4 ON CONTRACT for 200 is such a ripoff and is just absurd.

While I would have liked to have seen it come in at $499 and $549, I agree that $549 isn't unreasonable.
I don't understand, when it was thought to be $499, EVERYONE was like " oh yeah, it's mine" and "take my money" but all of a sudden it it $50 more expensive and everyone is like "oh hell no, no way Samsung you aren't going to rip me off"
Doesn't make much sense to me that $50 would make that big of a deal but hell what do I know. All I know is I still plan on getting it!:good:
Yeah, I would have obviously been happier with a lower price point. But when the new Nexus 7 came out and it had a small price bump, it was a pretty reasonable thing to do. I'll definitely be getting one at release.
Yes I was expecting 499$ too .... What a shame, I'm still getting it tho

Couldn't agree more.
This was never marketed as a budget/low-cost tablet. This is the (as far as I know) top-of-the-line Android tablet for the foreseeable future. I'm pleased to see it start that low. Heck, I know that's already a lot cheaper than the Note 3 I bought, lol.
If they will do the convert Dollar -> Euro, in italy the note will cost 449€.
But i think they will sell this at 599€...

The 16GB Wi-Fi version will be available for purchase at $549.99 / €408 while the 32GB Wi-Fi version will be priced $599.99 / €445. Both versions can be ordered directly from Samsung or Best Buy, Amazon or Walmart and others.

Well the comparable closet high Android tablet is Sony Xperia Z Tablet with S4 Pro quad core CPU and 2 GB ram and only 1080p display which is selling for £399.
Note 10.1 on the other hand has better CPU, more RAM, better (or at least sharper) display and Wacom digitizer, I can't see how can it could be same price or cheaper then Sony.
It's pricey but that's this the only android tablet with pen function, so we don't have the luxury for shopping around for cheaper price.
The same reason old Note 10.1 never really came down in price.

Please don't post if you can't bother to format or spell correctly.
This price does indeed suck. Samsung seems to overprice and make us wait for sales. Problem is that online purchases will be taxed soon inside the us. The note 8.0 was priced 399 us dollars at launch but can be had on sale or refurbished at 299 and below which isn't too bad. 499 and I probably would've just bought it at Newegg right away but I'll wait on reviews and some custom roms first. Hopefully someplace will have it for at least $449 tax-free before the stupid Internet tax hits.
