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

@ Sam's Club they are selling the T-Mobile SGS 2 for $188 for new customers & 2yr contract extensions
Walmart & Sam's Club online selling the same phone for $198

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.

That's what I paid for it on the day one. It was $330 plus tax and upgrade fee's. A total of $389

$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.

Ouch.
I went to Walmart and paid 198.00 plus tax which came to 214.34. And then 18 upgrade fee on the next bill. Plus, I got mine in release day. June 21st.

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

and grass is also green in case you didn't know.
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.
I got my phone on the 21st and T-Mobile was the ONLY one in my area to get it from. Walmart/Costco/etc had nothing.
Im going to be paying 450 or 549 for the phone

I am in Tampa Florida
Sprint and TMobile have stated they will have the device late next week but can we get a firm unsubsidized price, I usually get good inside info but the buy outright price is more secret than Romney 5 point plan

Not necessarily, the OG Note was apparently $750 retail price on AT&T.
Also, walmart just leaked some on contract prices for T-Mo and it looks to be $299 w/ contract
I gave up and got the white from Newegg for $649 and Fatwallet cashback (~4 extra percent off). If the AT&T version isn't screwed all to hell, I'll sell the international for a small loss and move on. Easy. Not interested in waiting until mid November.
If you are looking to get the Note 2 on T-Mobile and are worried about having to pay the full price. Call a tmo representative and talk about their 2 tier early upgrading plans. It renews your contract but you still got a much larger price off.

I'm on the Value plan, so... no dice for me . But for those of you on a Classic plan, this is the way to go. Although if you want, you can say you want to talk to retentions and try to get the "Android Data plan" which is an old 5GB plan for $15 a line.
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.

We have 2 in Knoxville, one will and one won't. They both have always told me over the phone they won't but this makes twice they have done it for me.
I read today that you can trade in any working smartphone and get a minimum $100 at best buy.

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.

I did the same thing when it came out but paid way more since I got it a few days after it came out now I'm wishing I would have waited.

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.
