One X was $50 lower. They'll likely open preorders soon. Worth waiting and seeing before committing elsewhere at full price.

Hey guys, just got back from Best Buy. Ordered my Pebble Blue GS3

Not for me. My family and I are on a 4 line family plan, i'm opening a 5th line to get this at the discounted price that way when my daughters line is up for upgrade (in July) I will just have her plan ported over to the new line and drop her old line so we're back down to 4. I'd rather handle this at a local store/branch just in case any issues arise.

If my local Radio Shack is offering them for $150 on preorder, I am going to req. a price match.

Thanks so much, I'll have to do this some time before release. Which no one knows... since Verizon says July 9th.

Yep Yeah, that caught my eye too, but oh well, as long as I get my phone i'm good.

With Target announcing a one week delay in launch, and now Costco doing the same, I hope Best Buy still kicks it off as planned on the 21st. Anybody heard anything?

Haven't heard anything different yet. I hope we don't see any delays. I'm very anxious to get my phone lol

Same here....I called Best Buy Mobile a couple hours ago to see if they could give me an order status and maybe a solid launch date...I got neither. Oh well, I'll follow up on the 21st and go from there. I'm done wondering and worrying

Online Verizon Pre-Ordered!!!!

I just pre-ordered mine, I am doing a 1yr contract so it cost me $269.99 $293.17 w/state taxes. 1yr because I am planing to go back to tmobile some day
anyone else ordered online?
Pre-ordered mine this morning. Decided to pay the full retail price since I don't like being on contract.

wow, but with no data how will you use it? wifi? or does it have a simcard slot?
He just means he's not committing to a year of service, so he's free to cancel and sell the phone at anytime. If Verizon offered contract-free pricing, I'd do this too but since they don't the one year price sounds like the best bargain.
Pre-Ordered mine...locked in for two though!
can someone explain what do you mean by full retail price?
I don't live in the states but I'm going for a visit next month,
can I buy the phone for the full retail price and that's all?
pay nothing else? no commitment?

You want to chose the month to month option. This will allow you to purchase the phone at full retail price.
I pre-ordered mine through Best Buy. I like their warranty program better. It cost a little more, but there is no deductible. Just bring in broke phone, walk out with new.
Pre-ordered mine first thing on Monday morning. Switching over from the dreadful AT&T service.

Hi guys, I pre-ordered mine on the 19th but they still haven't charged my card. Should I have been charged or are they waiting till it ships to charge me? Has this happened to anyone else? I just want to make sure I'm not the only one.
Most stores when you preorder something, it won't come out til it ships. I just ordered mine last night, gonna go the route of not paying my whole bill for a few months, take a couple late charges.
Got my incredible today
well I pre ordered mine by phone and I already got it. They must of made a few errors but I have mine on the charger and getting ready to start it up for the first time....
Gratz man! I went in to the store to see when they would get it. 29th. I have it preordered at best buy but I'll go for whichever gets them first.

being that it comes with a months free unlimited service, he didnt really overpay by that much and he wont have to sign a new contract or renew his original one. not really that bad of a deal if u do the math..............................

Yes. Free unlimited tethering, calls, data, and messaging. Pretty much anything except international calls. The trial runs out June 20 according to the Sprint flier that came with it.

For what he paid he definitely overpaid. Retail is $450, so he paid $225 to get it less than two weeks early. He could have gotten the hotspot for more than 7 months for the same amount, or put that towards two years of the extra $10/mo. Either way, he better be totally happy with his purchase.
I get mine this Friday. I see you have that Google I/O informational form in your pic. Is that included in the phone's packaging?
The reason i ask is because I asked my seller about that form and he said that he didn't have it. he said that it might be packaged with the phone itself. He never opened the phone's packaging. So I told him that I'd just find out when i receive it.

Well it depends on where he would have gotten the phone from. Sprint $450..you can say he probably overpaid, $500 RS....you can say he overpaid, BB...I don't think he overpaid. i think its a great deal if you think about it.
Free everything for a month, no contract....etc.
And plus I'm sure there will be big shortage of these phones when they release. I stopped at the bestbuy by my house earlier today and the Rep there told me that this is the biggest preorder they ever had. I'm not sure if he was just talking about this particular store or Bestbuy in general. Just like the Incredible and the iPad this will be backordered. And if you think paying $670 is too much ....wait until June 4th
I think if you really want the phone, you saved up for the phone or whatever if you got the money then go ahead and get it. Because getting one on the 4th is not guaranteed.
Not to reign on some peoples parades of cost, but depending on the store, they may not sell you a phone off contract. I Lou of holding out for new customers and upgrades. Happened to me when I wanted a pre had to hold out a month for when online orders came around

Looks like Costco will be selling the Xoom on Feb 24th and a little plus is that it will have a $35 mail in rebate to take care of the stupid 1 month data requirement...
Looks like I will be going to Costco on the 24th.. Great thing is Costco has a great return policy (90 days) so if price drops within that time period its definitely going back for price adjustment or just return and re buy...
Wow, I'll bet BestBuy will match the activation fee now. Let the price wars begin!
With the activation fee waved, the first month of service is manageable. Or perhaps it can be canceled within 3 days as others have speculated for a refund.

Doubtful as Best Buy cannot do anything with your bill. They might be willing to take 35 dollars off the price of the thing, but very doubtful
Is this true? If so I just jizzed in my pants. My family calls me a Costco Evangelist. I was all worried that I would have to return this tablet every 14 days at Best Buy until a wifi-only version came out.
With Costco I might keep it, or just return it once when the wifi-only version comes out. Costco is awesome, beyond their EPIC return window, they also have an almost unlimited return policy for things that stop working. I have returned things 12 months later with no problem.
Were you seriously going to return and repurchase a xoom every 14 days just so you can say you have the thing first?
I'm not sure that that's something you should openly admit to, just seems sad.

Sad, nah. Exploitive, yes. The problem is that I want a wifi-only version, but I need a tablet now. I have been needing one for a few months now, but was unhappy with all the options available. If they would do the wise thing and release the wifi-only version first or simultaneously, I wouldn't have to play games. Or if they didnt mark it up 250$

Heh, good point, my bad =)
Take this with a grain of salt but I spoke with one of the phone guys at costco on the 15th and he said they expected to have it for about $100 less than best buy and verizon just like they currently do on the galaxy tab. I tend to believe that considering marking a $500 item down to $400 is a lot bigger of a cut than knocking an $800 item down to $700 is.
I talked to my buddy at the costco (yea i work there myself). The email said they will get the live demo starting on the 22nd. It also said starting the 24th they would get the actually product. It didn't say the price though. You WILL be required to get a month of service. The rumor is about $100 less just like the samsung tab. If i get anymore info, i'll keep this updated. I'm also waiting to get it myself.
Now how about the Wifi version $100 less at $500!!! Oh, what joy that would bring!
I really want this soon, price is my only concern. They better announce the Wifi version next week and say it's coming in no more than 1-2 weeks, I've waited far too long...I can't stand it...

ALL CARRIERS!!! If you purchased your Galaxy S3 ftom Best Buy go get your $$$

So bestbuy price matches right? Well radio shack has the S3 for $149.00 online as part of a extra $50 off any new phone. So as long as that offer is good for retail stores(dont see online only anyware so I assume so) Anyone who bought from bestbuy is entitled to $50 back from their 30 day price match guarantee.
If you want to see just goto Radioshacks site it's on the main page and if you click into a S3 it will say $149.99
Edit: I can now confirm personally that it works... 2 phones $175 back on price match #winning!

Just hit up my local Best Buy and got $108 and some change back from my purchase of 2 GSIIIs. Thanks again for the tip!
I got my S3 for 149.99$ because i bought the Evo 4g LTE and then exchanged phones, so the giftcard was applied to my evo's 199$ price... could i go back and have them price match to save another 50$?
Well I had some little snooty B**** not price match because none of the Radio Shacks around here have the actual phone in stock. I'm going to be calling them daily and as soon as I find one in stock, I'm running back to BB and hopefully getting the price match.
I may also try another BB or two before then, just in case they are more easy to work with.

BestBuy in Westbury NY just issued me my refund. As i walked in I saw the MGR of the mobile department on the phone with a customers phone. He gave it back to them and customer walked out. I asked him about the radio shack promo and he said he was just on the phone with the radio shack down the block and that the promo was only for new subscribers. After i showed him the print out from the net that clearly states new line/contract or contract extention, he went on the web himself, verified and issued my refund of $54.32.
If you were that guy in the hat and a cast on your hand that left BB in Westbury, go back and claim your refund.

$50 google play credit with purchase of Nexus device

So, I saw this come up, my phone is set to be delivered tomorrow. I wanted to know if I was eligible. The rep said no, device must be purchsed between 11/28-12/1 and at the rate things are going, none will be in stock on 11/28 so no nexus purchases will receive the $50 credit. ugh...
https://play.google.com/intl/ALL_us/bf-cb/promo-terms.html#play-credit-offer

Correct, but these were all sold out now, and it is still only 11/27 so none of these were eligible for the $50 credit which states it must be purchased from 11/28-12/1
..
Wow. I just ordered a 64 GB MB and missed the window by 3 minutes

Thats quite subjective, its 11/28 over here already and I'm sure the rep would let it pass by being only several hours if you're on the west coast. You ordered weeks ago.
I wish I could get it when I buy it from T-Mobile tomorrow, lol.
And now its finally sold out on all 4 models.
edit: its back
Just my opinion but with as bad as this launch has been, Google should be offering this promo to anyone that was able to even buy a N6.

They really should be. Mine hasn't even shipped yet and they've already offered a better deal.

So, I saw this come up, my phone is set to be delivered tomorrow. I wanted to know if I was eligible. The rep said no, device must be purchsed between 11/28-12/1 and at the rate things are going, none will be in stock on 11/28 so no nexus purchases will receive the $50 credit. ugh...

Is this just through Google when you purchase your phone or do you get it also when purchasing from a carrier?
Yeah Google and Moto failed at the N6 release. I just finally got a working N6 today. I should be able to get the $50.00 dollar Play Store credit!

I got mine from AT&T and so far it's fine. I've been going back and forth with the Edge. O would like that credit.

I just asked two representatives, and they both said that this was only valid for Google Play Store purchases.

Google Play and Sprint purchases only and I guess it has to be between a certain date.

i had that opinion as well, and emailed google about it. they were having none of it. denied after 3 attempts. f them
That is technically a $50 credit to make up for Sprint charging $50 more for 32GB version... if Sprint is dropping the ball Google felt they do not want to drop it and offered this.
If someone orders via Google Play, then great, but all who purchased devices from google play should be eligible since return policy still applies until 14 days are up... but, who would return the phone back because of $50 credit...
I may sweet talk their rep into getting the credit since they are shipping me the replacement due to Vertical and horizontal lines banding on my initial phone I got...
Besides that this phone is an absolute phone of today's market!!! Must have, and yes it is big
I called google about this a few hours ago. I told them I had ordered my nexus on Nov. 5 and just recently saw the $50 play credit. They transfered me to a nexus 6 device rep and he wasn't able to give me the $50 because i got it before the promo but he hooked me up with a $25.

Sprint doesn't charge more for the 32GB version anymore.
