Nexus S 4g for $80 out the door - Nexus S General

At a sprint store. I went to complain once again about my second evo's lack of working data roam and saw it.
I have an upgrade available. Should I?

No, Sprint dropped the price to $49. Also, that means new phones are coming out so they are getting rid off these older ones.

What would be the price at best buy

its $80 at best buy on upgrade
online its $30

OT here, but I was told if I purchased this from Best Buy, which I did, I would be charged the activation fee unless I purchase directly from sprint.com. Thing is, Sprint.com has different phones different prices than Best Buy or Radioshack.
I would wait with the upgrade, IMO. There are going to be so many killer phones come around the holiday season. You can suck it up for a couple more months

The only phone coming out that's worth getting is the Nexus Prime. Hopefully they cover all the carriers with it.

Are you sure the epic had horrid support from Samsung. My girl had one and having all those galaxy s phones did not help unlocking and getting aosp on it. Alot of the talented devs on sprint are here or on the evo 3d, just one thing to make note of

If you just bought a NS4G at Best Buy Get refund today (8/17/11)

So I recently purchased a NS4G from Best Buy ($100 + tax for 2 year upgrade). Today, however, they are free at Best Buy! So if you purchased a NS4G for Sprint in the last 30 days, bring your receipt in to your local Best Buy and they will refund your money! I was told you don't even need to bring in the phone, just receipt. I'm heading there right now lol
Really?? Will I get cash back or store credit??

Did they mean you have to go to the same BestBuy location you bought it from to have the difference given back to you or are you saying that you're trying to get a refund on something you bought at ANOTHER retailer that is not BestBuy?

My local store is asking $330 for the S III!!!

Not only is the $280 you need to pay to purchase this phone online outrageous when compared to the other carriers, but my local store is asking for $50 more!!! Are they insane? What happened with T-Mobile and the S III? People don't want it that bad, guys!
Sorry for the rant.
tax, fees, etc.
T mobile cannot afford to subsidize these phones at the same rate as the larger carriers so you have to pay more on contract.

$280 is already insane. Don't let your stores charge $50 more on top of that or you'll be shooting yourself in the foot with one of the most anticipated devices of the year. My 2c.

Yes, Walmart sells T-mobile phones for new and existing customers. They have computers at their wireless center for each carrier. It allows them to perform upgrades just like you were at a T-mobile store.
I paid the 299 to Att since my voice plan did not qualify for the $100 instant rebate, didn't like that but I sold my iPhone 4 for 270 so it wasn't that bad of an upgrade for me
Hey at least your not buying it off contract. I bought it off contract from my local tmobile store for $680!! I'm still in shock recovering from that impulse buy, looking back I could gotten a way batter deal on Craig list. But this awesome phone is slowly helping me forget about my hard earned cash.

Hearing you paid only 214 for the phone kinda piss me off, but at the sometime I still got the phone on day one. If wal mart in Illinois had it I would had been all on it for those prices. Make me wonder why T mobile can't come up those prices themselves

How is this a thread? Yes as it was discussed for the last few weeks; T-Mo is selling the GS3 for $330. You can buy it from Costco and Walmart for much less.
Carry on.

I paid $279.99 through T-Mobile after a $50 mail in rebate. My activation fee/upgrade fee was waived. T-Mobile does charge more for phones but you save money on the plans. Right now I have unlimited Talk/Text/2GB Data a month for $69.99.

Sell my Nexus S?

I really want a Galaxy Nexus for AT&T but I'm currently in a hard financial state. If I was to sell my device which is in good condition aside from a small scuff on the corner, how much should I sell it for?
I'm still not sure if I sell right away because I might wait for the new nexus so the price drops. I'm just looking for a good reference on price so I can ponder it over. Thanks in advance to anyone who offers help.

When I was looking for a sprint one (which i since decided to cancel my contract shortly and go prepaid but thats another story lol) I was able to find a few for ~400 or so. I've seen a couple online retailers selling for ~450.
I haven't even seen any used ones though. Which kind of irritates me as that would probably be the only way I could get one. Seeing as I prefer to buy locally and not have to be without a phone for any major period of time.

Yes and no. Sprint sells them for $550 new. So online retails selling @ 450 are actually selling lower then sprint. Believe me I think its stupid too. This is one of the many reasons I'm ditching sprint in September/October and going gsm/prepaid
350 on the play store new when I'm only selling my phone for 130-150. Lol. I don't have that kind of cash to front at the moment.

Galaxy s5 for under $13 at Best Buy!

I just upgraded my phone to the s5 at my local best buy in Knoxville, TN. It cost me under $13 for an upgrade. Here is how it worked. I signed up at the beginning of the year for the $50 off a phone if you upgraded at Best Buy. They also have a promotion going now that you can get a $50 gift card that you will get via email like 15 days later (the gave it to instantly). Then they price matched Amazon at $112 and some change. So you take the $112 and subtract the $100 in gift cards and you get my $12. That's an awesome deal if you ask me!
Best Buy will price match up to 14 or 15 days so if you recently purchased one from them you can go back and get some of your money back. Hope this helped someone out.

It's up to managers discretion. I have 5-6 in my city and 2 of them price match amazon. I'm hoping the S5 Prime will be cheaper on Amazon than Best Buy so I can price Match and use my Best Buy card

On topic of price matching at best buy with amazon the price match fine print CLEARLY states they will price match Amazon as long as its sold by Amazon.
So just print out the ToS and show it to them if they say no.
Works every time for me.

My "extend your 2 year contract" pricing was $149.99 before tax.
On Sprint.
:crying:
My contact was up on Sprint. Sprint wanted $199. Amazon wanted $99 for renewal. I got it from Amazon. Plus I believe I'm getting a $25 gift card from Amazon after I activate the phone. So, $75 after rebate. Not bad. It ain't as good as $13, but its better than $199!

I know is almost a month old, however I upgraded to the S5 tonight at Bestbuy here in Knoxville, TN. They price matched Amazon (contract phone), and received a $50 gift card from BB...so out the door was $59 after taxes... Not $13, but not bad either.
I went to Best buy because they had the S5 for $99 as an upgrade. I waited till Sunday because it was my only day off, price went back to $199 for Sprint and down to $99 for Verizon. So I asked about $100 for old phones. Girl checked pc and my 3yr old Galaxy S slider was only worth $5. I went to Sprint owned store and paid $199 but felt more like a loyal customer.

Got mine for $99, gave my wife my S4, sold her S3 on Swappa for 190. Someone is not too bright for sure.
I got mine at Best Buy also but they told me they would not price match online stores. Brick and mortar stores with in stock phones only.

best buy LG G3 for $99 plus $50 gift card

Best buy has a deal for new and existing ATT customers. The best deal I've seen since you also get a $50 gift card. You must activate before 7/12.

That's a kickass deal. I was thinking of spending about 630 for the phone outright but 100 dollars with a 50 dollar gift card after activation sounds good.
I have a few hours to think about this haha

That would be great if they honor it. Let us know how it goes.
How do you activate before 7/12 if the G3 isn't released yet? Am I missing something? Should I be driving to BB right now?
I'm guessing AT&T and Sprint are in stock, but maybe not Verizon.

Enjoy downloading 50gb a month on your cellphone (or hotspot) without any charges. Sprint might have crappy network signal at times but they make up for it with that IMO.
