Just found this deal. Unlocked for $599, best price I have found. Anyone dealt with this place before?

Be careful...they use to be called "Exoticphones.com"
I'd be careful too...
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.
Just odered with overnight shipping. Will let you guys know how it goes. Im beyond excited!

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.

is $399.00 with a contract. so add 95 to that?

This is a pretty good deal -- except no way to get warranty. Expansys USA has a great reputation on resellerratings.com.
Will probably get mine thru ebay so I can get a SquareTrade warranty.

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.
Yesasia.com has it about $650. I only bought small things from the site,yet I feel it does business alright.

Alright Guys and Gals, I've searched high and low and I still cannot find an answer...
Does anybody know if Sprint's $449.00 or so Full Retail Price is the same at Best Buy? Or is it higher?
The Best Buy full retail is $600. RadioShack is $500.
Best Buy told me that they will not price match it.
It's a shame....
since sprint is the only one that has the $450 price tag, has anyone tried to buy an off contract device from sprint? I have a feeling that I will not find a sprint store that will sell it off- contract right away or they are out of stock. So I hope I can order it from sprint's website and have it overnighted to my house.

http://androidforums.com/htc-evo-4g/78086-600-off-contract-says-bestbuy.html
I was shocked too and didn't want to believe it at first. I went to the Best Buy where I had pre-ordered and asked. they told me it would be somewhere between $600-$700 full price.
The good news is that you should be able to get a refund. I was able to, after I told them that I had since found out that I was not eligible for an upgrade.
If you want to pre-order at Radio Shack you had better hurry (if you're in a big city) because they are sold out of pre-order gift cards here in Austin.
I've decided to get in line at the Sprint store. Verrrrrry early in the morning, if not the night before!

Thanks! The Best Buy thing surprised me too, but after I found out that they still charge $600 for the Hero and $630 for the Moment it quickly became obvious. For anyone wondering, they will give you a full refund. Just go in and tell them that you didn't know they were going to mark up the price when you pre-ordered. I paid with debit, and they gave me back my full $50+tax in cash.
I am looking to buy the samsung vibrant at the lowest possible price without signing a contract, as I'll be moving to Africa in a few months for work.
I had heard of that costco was selling them for $250 off contract, and after rushing to the nearest costco to snatch up one(or 2), i was disappointed to find it had been increased to $479.99
Does anyone know anywhere that has it cheaper. I'm already selling my xperia x10 to put towards the purchase

Yeah the costco deal ended a few weeks ago. I believe you could sign a contract for a 99$ phone then pay the 200$ ETF and get the phone for 300$. Im not sure if there are any negatives but I think that is currently the only way to get one for less then the full off contract price, unless anyone else knows about something I dont.
Oh, there is the Bing cashback route, get 35% off the off-contract phone, so you can get the phone for 325$.

I was able to get the phone from the t-mobile site for 146USD, but that was with a contract.
I just bought two from Wal-Mart for $99 each with a 2 -year extension. I showed them that Amazon.com is selling them for that price. Before that I went to the T-Mobile store and they wouldn't budge from $199. Went down the street to Wally World and they hooked me up. Happy New Phone Day for me and wifey!

most internet dealers that sell the phone for less than normal contract retail price include extra ETF (termination fees) to make sure people dont change anything on their contract (bulk of their money comes from you signing a carrier contract so price of the phone isnt that big a deal for them)

Ahhh ic...thanks for the input....makes sense
i think amazon is still selling it for 99$
bing cashback is dead FWIW.
was it 2 years for each phone or 2 years for both?
Asked Tmobile if they price match with walmart, one representative said they would, a different rep said they wouldn't as walmart's a third party seller.
They also said if i got the phone for the 2yr contract price and then cancelled, i would be charged $200 ETF and would also be charged for the FULL price of the phone
post your experiences here and let us all know how it goes...were you able to get $399? $499? did the employees know what they were doing or was it a huge hassle? if you had to argue/explain/haggle your way to a certain price fill us in on how, why, etc... and let us know of any other issues someone going later in the week should be wary of if any....
Called a shop in Atlanta yesterday and the guy said "499, eehm, no wait, 399." A friend of mine is picking one up for me to bring to Germany, told him he can go up to 499 if it's deadly necessary..
I talked to one of my local stores and was told $499....
just bumping this up for tomorrow...or today if anyone's lucky....
The stores here said.they were getting.them tomorrow; ill call one now and see what the pricing is; if I can get it for 400 off contract ill do that.

All I know is if I ordered through the premier site (business line) I qualified for an immediate 100 discount, which means I would get the same discount in stores. Could be the fact that I have a business line, but I'm not sure.
Granted, it looks like I'll be buying mine at a 3rd party reseller today since he's supposed to get it in stock and always does a sale before the release date if he can.
Also as far as I know it's $299 before a $100 MIR and AT&T lets you get the rebate on an off contract device if you have the qualifiers for data also. Which I will since I have my data plan and messaging plan.
naturefreak,
Have you found any stores local to you that are willing to sell you the phone today? I'm headed to Town Center in a couple hours..
My local store is selling it for $499 off contract OR $199 plus a $200 dollar upgrade fee. So buying off contract would cost me about 533 with tax, the other option would be about 412 but lock me into another 2 years. decisions decisions.
Pay $499 and submit the rebate for $100 back... that's what I'd try at least. As long as you have a qualifying voice/data plan I don't see why the rebate company would deny your $100 rebate...

I'm not too worried either way. I plan on showing the lady in the store tomorrow that I can order it on Premier and get an instant $100 discount and see what she says. If she gives me a hard time I'll just pay the $100 and submit the rebate form. I'm pretty sure the rebate company will give me the $100, but if by chance they don't.. no big loss. By the way, who did you ask about the $100 rebate if paying $499.. some person in the store or at telesales?

Hey, that worked 2 years ago when I bought my Bold 9000 at full retail. I swear I buy phones way too often. Since I bought that phone I have had the 9700, the Backflip, the SE C905A, the Motorola Backflip, and now the Nexus one. Next up is clearly the beast of a machine Atrix.

$299 is better than $349. For some reason my shipping, even one day shipping chosen, is on Monday September 20 instead of friday the 17th through amazon as well. But for $50 I can wait a weekend. Add in the Samsung $200 promotion on my Note 2 and you get the phone for $99.00. You can't beat that.

17th, 18th, 21st, honestly those few more hours or days are meaningless. If it is worth $50 to some to get it on the 17th for sure, god bless them. I am fine either way, even though I plucked down the extra $3.99 for one day shipping. I may change even that. To each their own though. I bought the Note 4 for a myriad of reasons, but the main one that I am looking forward to is the VR headset by Oculus/Samsung which uses the Note 4 as its brains and screen. THAT is the real game changer among the new cell phones this year. There is not nearly enough attention to how big that will be. And that doesn't come out until November sometime. So I am fine with my Note 2 a few extra days.
My Note II + $398 = Note 4 + Samsung Gear VR.

Ok... Pre-ordered. BB will give me the $200 for my ancient LG Optimus (heh heh). Here's my gripe... I was told I would have to pay the tax on the full price... $799 =$80... Arrgh. Total out of pocket = $164.
hmmm. BB told me specifically they don't charge tax on the full amount but only on the $299
Lost my Note 2 back in August and have been waiting... using my Epic4G since and its killing me,lol.. And no one wants a trade in for the Epic.. :crying: Guess I'm shelling out the 299 if I want to play, unless I can wait for a few more weeks and see if I catch a deal on Amazon AFTER release.

I hope that's the case. Maybe the SR was wrong. Doesn't even seem legal.
I'm really surprised if BB matches Amazon on cell phones, since on their price match page it states:
Our Low Price Guarantee does not cover:
The online prices of retailers not listed
Contract mobile phones sold by any online retailer
put 50 down for two lines on my account, wife wanted white while i picked black. Luckily bestbuy agreed to take 2 ZTE avids i had bought off ebay for 10 bucks each for the $200 trade in .
While this wasn't my first (or even second) choice of device this year, but it seems it will be the best one available and will be my first 'Note' device. Will be fun to see if there is anything new dev wise.
I'm stuck, do I do the best buy deal and get phone for 99 bucks BUT have to pay for their geek squad protection plan 11 bucks a month for 24 months (+$244) or do I wait and hope Costco gets it, pay 299 for it but only have to pay 99 bucks for protection plan that has no deductible so $400 up front? What do you guys think?

It really depends on the state / tax jurisdiction you live in. California, for example, requires retailers to charge the sales tax on the full retail price prior to discounts / subsidies. Other states may only require tax on the final amount paid to the customer.
I just pre-ordered mine today, the sales rep couldn't tell me the full price of the phone today bc its unknown untill Friday morning. I know sprint will be seling it for $720 but wonder if bestbuy will increase the price to the point were the $200trade-in will be worthless.

It wouldn't shock me. Personally, I've never seen the point in buying phones through Best Buy unless you want their device protection program. It's usually cheaper to just buy it directly from the carrier, either online or in-store.

The price is $799, I ordered mine off best buys website. My total price was just a little over $900 with expedited shipping. They are supposed to price match Amazon's price at $720 when I get the phone. Then I will get my $200 gift card for my trade in when I go into the store. Long story but last Monday they couldn't take pre-orders for Sprint so I had to order online, the manager told me to come back in with my trade in to get my gift card after I received the phone.

Why on earth would you pay $900 for a Note 4? If you wait like a day after the release date you'd see some on ebay for probably $500 where people paid the $300 & renewed their contract just to flip it and make $200 cash.
Hell, even if you setup a new line, paid $299.99 for the phone under a new 2 year contract then canceled the line and paid a $350 ETF, that's still $650 instead of $900.
My note 4 is arriving tomorrow and it's free. Samsung is giving me $200 for a trade in and Sprint is giving me $150 for changing to them from Verizon. Contract price $299.99 = me making $50.

That's what I had to pay up front since best buy told me they were out of pre-orders. Once I get the phone I'm supposed to take it to my local store and they will price match Amazon at $720 then I'll get a $200 gift card to make my total $520. I don't do contacts anymore with cell phone providers. I prefer to buy my phones out right and new. I've been burnt on eBay and craigslist!
You are the only person I've heard of that has said anything about buying a note 4 off contract and getting the 200 go. Everywhere else has said it has to be on a contract agreement, via contract or easy pay.

I don't know who "everywhere else" is but my local best buy store and the best buy mobile post purchase support line have confirmed to me that it is available if you buy the phone outright. I guess I won't find out for sure until I this weekend (I'm out of town). If for some reason I don't get the gc, the price is just not worth it to me. I'll return it and get the nexus 6, which I may do anyway.

I will confirm or deny this. I will keep you posted.
I just came from BestBuy and the $200 incentive is a gift card that you get when you buy a Note 4 + bring a working phone to tradein and either put it on an existing line or a new line. The giftcard can be used in any transaction you want like toward the note4 transaction a new TV, Laptop, etc..
Something i forgot to ask is if BB will match Amazone outright price????...... i heard that BB only match "with contract price" ...if some can let me know i will apreciated!!!
Thanks!!
note; the only situation that the gift-card can't be use toward is when choosing SPRINT EASY PAY.... the reason as to why is long and confusing... sorry!!!
