lol I have that same feeling, any idea on RAM and Internal storage?
Do you really think that the store will sell out so you have to spend money pre ordering it?

well the first best buy I went was sold out so I just went to another and said F**K it and money is not an issue.
You do realize that the group of numbers right below the Val number is the transaction number? Which means any best buy employee can go print a duplicate receipt and claim it as their own? Just an FYI.
By the way, I totally pre-ordered my EVO. Can't wait for it!
I canceled my Best Buy preorder after learning they were charging $600 for the contract-free version, so I'm waiting to order one at my local Sprint store when they start taking names.

Where did you learn that, if you don't mind me asking??
EDIT: OK, I found the thread on Android Forums where some guy claims he had supposed phone conversations with 3 different BB employees at 3 different BB stores and that they all said $600. I'm sorry, I just don't believe it! Even if it is true (which I doubt) I can easily cash in my $50 BB gift card and walk 100 yards to the Sprint store to buy it for $450.
Are you sure that guy doesn't work for Sprint or Radio Shack?

did not know that but thank you for the tip, much appreciated!!
How much should you pay for the pre-order?
199? or full price?
OK, I take it back. I was just made aware of the fact that Best Buy is charging $599 for unsubsidized Heros.
Sprint only only charges $429.
I also just noticed (in the fine print) that the $50 Best Buy gift card is NOT redeemable for cash.

Were you able to get your money back from Best Buy when you canceled it? Do you know if there is a time limit for canceling? Does anyone know when Sprint will do preorders for the Evo? I ask because I just made my preorder today at BB and realized afterward they will steal $150 from me (it's not stealing, it's Capitalism which I'm all for, it still sucks though) and want to avoid that if at all possible.
i preordered in bestbuy but on my receipt it said to pick it up on june 5th?anyone else?

I made the stupid mistake of creating $300 in gift cards to help budget for this. If I get stuck having to pay another 300 there will be problems. They're going to adjust my price or refund my money.
As I understand it, you can use the gift card towards the price of the phone. Just pre-ordered mine today too.

I went in and they instantly gave me cash (paid with debit). I'm sure that you'd be fine getting a refund all the way until June. Just tell them that you don't want a marked up phone, and they hadn't released the price when you paid.

is it possible for att to price match this? i see no point in having paid 250 for this phone when i could ahve got it for 30
It's $29.99 only for new customers.

Why did I spend so much money on this phone again? I remember with my iPhones they retained their value, this is a HUGE degradation in a matter of months? I guess I won't be able to sell this phone when I'm ready to upgrade.

You do realise there's a HUGE difference between an iPhone and... well... any other phone, right? People flock to iPhones like gnats to a sweaty forehead. And not even just the US. Hell, i sold my iPhone 4 that i had since they came out to someone in Russia for $450. That was enough to cover the cost of the iPhone when i originally bought it, PLUS the Atrix. I've only ever seen one person NOT in an AT&T store that had an Atrix. Just about every smartphone you see on the street is some version of the iPhone. And with the 3GS now being $49.... I'd imagine that ratio will be even higher. People don't know how to find a good phone. They know what is crammed down their throat no matter where they turn... and that just happens to be any Apple product, really.
Hell... look on TV. You see at least 5 iPhone commercials for every single Atrix commercial... and they advertise the lapdock more than the phone itself it seems.

But yea... even if you did go elsewhere and tried to get them to price match, they'd probably see that it's for new customers only. I mean... they usually say that right around the price somewhere.... somewhere that's not easy to miss.

Dunno, they still seem to go for a fairly nice sum of money. I'd imagine it would still be rather nice a bit from now, especially being a dual core.
yeah store was closed here. I tried calling att to see if they would price match the 100 bucks at bestbuy and they told me nope and if i wanted bestbuy's price i should cancel and goto bestbuy. does att charge a restocking fee for canceling a plan within the 30 days?

Yes. Check their website for the exact amount.
BTW, they give this phone for free in Europe with contract.

Damn good price!
This might be a first for when the CDMA variant will go for more used than the GSM. I'd imagine used prices will start dropping on these rather quickly, especially the docomo version.
CDMA Galaxy Nexus's will be $200 used in no time.
I would say the GSM will be about $300 and the white being $350-400 probably.
shipping + tax makes it 437 to FL.
not buying it as I already have one ...
Yeah. same price its always been on ebay once you add the tax and shipping...

Weird. Usually American sites allow Canadians to at least purchase it online and get it shipped to somewhere in America. I personally live close the the border and go over all the time so it's pretty normal for me to purchase things online and ship them to America and pick it up when I'm in America every week or two.
Ah well, I imagine I'll be able to with proxies or something.
yes $437 to Florida that is a copy of my checkout webpage
For me it was only 409.50 w/ shipping, tax said 0.00, I didn't go any farther than complete this purchase though.
Thinking about going for it.
Friend is in the US currently, more people regularly come & go as well. Is it possible to buy it soon from AT&T or TMobile, will it be unlocked & how much would it cost, does any kind soul have all the answers?
Thanks much guys.. :good:
And, of course as it's almost 6am here, I posted in the wrong fckng forum.. Can a mod please move it to Q&A? Thanks. & Sorry..
Not from AT&T. T-Mobile charges $499 without a contract.
not sure about att yet but t-mobile usa is selling its for like another 150 $ + off contract ...i think you better off waiting on play store to have them in stock again save you money.. not sure if t-mo had them instock on stores or online.. just trying to make money t-mob:silly:

Well, we have the Euro conversion if I buy it from there; it'd only be 43 Euro more (not including any taxes, not sure how that works over there) compared to getting it here so it's not too bad.
The question of course, is, what happens with warranty. Probably royally screwed.
And whether it'd be sim locked; probably not as it is off contract..
P. S. You see, Google are fairly clever. They just turn the $ to €. It costs 350 Euro here, that is +/- 450 $.. :banghead::thumbdown:
There isn't a separate "T-Mobile version"; it's identical, so it will be unlocked. As for warranty, I dunno who would be responsible for that. Maybe LG? The best thing to do is to call T-Mobile and ask which stores will have it and what they'll do about warranty if the phone is used abroad.

That doesn't include tax. Chicago has the highest sales tax in the U.S. so you can expect it to be about $550.

Scalpers are the scum of the Earth.
In a just world, they'd have a $1200+ car bill tonight. Because anybody selling a Nexus 6 like only bought it to resell it instantly, keeping the rest of us from getting a device.

Nope.
Just scalpers. And I stand by what I said.
If someone is willing to pay it, who cares. Nobody wants to live in a world where prices are set and governed.....it's counterproductive. If people weren't willing to pay this much there wouldn't be people selling them for this much. If you want to cast blame, blame the people paying the exorbitant prices, not the ones simply giving them what they want at the price they are willing to pay.

Very safe as long as you do it smartly. Do the transaction in a Starbucks (I sold OnePlus phones through that method easily) or a bank during daylight hours. Have them xfer money through Google Wallet, not Paypal, or even a 3rd party like their own banking software. If they want to bring cash, meet at a bank so the bank can verify the authenticity of the money.
