I am already owning HTC One X. It was too large after HTC Sensation but i am already used to. Is Galaxy S III as good as HTC?)

Define as good, personally I believe it's better. Hate HTC, worst battery out there and now they sealed it. Nahh thanks.

I will buy it when it's available on Verizon in the US. Like, the 1st day it's available!

I might when the price is down, whether the screen still retain all the issues from previous Samsung phones and with the news of upcoming Nexus devices, I'm waiting for now.

No pre-ordering yet, just waiting, but I will see what people think about it, and then consider buying it later.
For one thing, the price does matter.

Definitely yes

i was keeping money from september to buy it when it cams out to market!

The endless addiction!
Just bought an xperia S and already impressed with the S III, although i hate touchwiz as an experience from S and S II but i guess i'll give samsung another chance with the S III !!!

Good to know most of people keep updating their devices to new models, good job!

1st day purchase
Sent from my LT15i using XDA

I'll get it around the start of June.
Getting it off Handtec UK.
It's around 720 Australian dollars with shipping.
Since I'm an international customer I won't have to pay for VAT.
That'll make it much cheaper than buying it here, it's like 799 for 16GB.

You guys think it's a good site and good deal?

Waiting a month or so might be a good idea. Price will drop

How much did you sell your phone for?

I just sold my HTC One X (International) for $350 after tax, shipping, and insurance. How much did you sell your phone for in order to buy the Nexus 4 in a couple days.

I sold my 16GB T-Mobile Galaxy S III with a dented corner (dropped it) for $390 locally on craigslist. I figure that after tax and shipping costs, I should break about even for the Nexus 4 and I didn't want to deal with Ebay and all their fees.

Sold my gnex for $275 on craigslist

Generous!
I'm going to sell my perfect and pristine (screen etc) white Gnex for about 250 Euro, I think. However, going to wait a little longer for some 'good news' we are all hoping for. I wonder, have there been rev.2 Gnexi, hardware wise?

Haven't yet as I need a phone while I wait for the Nexus! How could I possibly sell mine before getting a new phone and be left phoneless? No sir, would never happen voluntarily!
Anyhoo, after a couple of days to make sure there are no major problems with the Nexus, I intend to trade in my Galaxy S2 for £147 in my local CEX shop. I know I could get more for it on Amazon but there's no guarantee of a sale and it's far more convenient to just walk into the shop than faffing around with the postage and packaging etc.
So that effectively halves the price of the 16GB Nexus 4 which I intend to buy.
Roll on Nexus 4 release!!! :victory:

not sure how much of a deal this is. Considering you can get the 32GB for $449 at BestBuy Canada
http://www.bestbuy.ca/en-CA/product/samsung-samsung-galaxy-note-10-1-32gb-android-4-0-tablet-with-exynos-4412-processor-grey-gt-n8010eaexac/10220829.aspx

With only a 90 day warranty you'd probably want/need to add SquareTrade which is another $100 making it $480. How great a deal it is depends on how you feel about a 90 day vs. a 1 year warranty.

Absolutely never buy from 1 sale a day. They ship slow ( took 3 weeks once) and only offer 21 day returns from date of purchase. Horrible customer service.

I bought my 32gb in Canada for 449 at future shop as well. For once somethings cheaper in Canada. I belive the 16gb is 499 in the US.

Note 3 for Full No Commitment Price?

Do you guys think the Note 3 is worth getting at $725? I don't have an upgrade, but am really want to get the Note 3..

That's a super hefty price for just a phone! I don't think it's worth it. Maybe at $500? I'd take it.

lol
This phone costs 1000 usd in norway and im still getting it ! Cant wait for it to get release since my note 2 got stolen and i got back on insurance

It's not just a phone, it's a power house! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2438466
However, its initial price is indeed abusive anyway.
I would suggest waiting a couple of months till prices settle a little.
And if you still think price remains abusive, set you eyes on a Note 2 which is going to be 30/40% cheaper in comparison and it's a GREAT phone ( I have it)
You gonna have 2 choices:
1) Note 3 State-of-the-art phone but quite expensive
or
2) Note 2 an excellent phone nevertheless and way cheaper
:good:

Yes its just not a phone, it is a phablet. But anyways my justification is that I just sold my HTC One and will be selling my S4 for a combined total of 750. So I'm basically trading two phones for one. Also I saw that m4sta2k was going to buy it for $1000!! which makes my purchase alittle bit better. ha.

I dont know about the Note 2 being way cheaper. I remember paying full price last year ($650) and its currently $704 on AT&T's site. I guess its success caused a price increase. I can see it going down a little but not much. I would love to get the Note 3 but I really love my Note 2. Hoping to get the 4.3 update and some other goodies in the update before the end of the year or I just may get the Note 3.

Well, I can only talk about how things go over here ( Holland ) and about sim lock free phones ( no plan/contract)
The Note2 is already around 100 euros cheaper ( 132$) than one year ago costing around 560$ at my favorite webshop
It will get even cheaper after Note3's sales warm up
Anyway I will be visiting NY next month and gonna check some gagdets prices in places such as B&H ...

700+ is the usual price, it was the same for my note 1 and note 2 upgrade

i just dropped $745 on mine off contract from verizon

I can beat that price, but not by much.
T-Mo is selling it for $703.99 full retail.
http://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phones/samsung-galaxy-note-3.html
I know this is an off contract price but I'm not sure it's an unlocked device.

Cheapest UK price I've seen is from Handtec, where I got my Note 2 from when that was released. It's currently 586 then a fiver postage, I'm literally on the site now about to place the order, but reluctant to until I know which variant is gonna see the most community activity, 3G or LTE.
As the the ones listed on, Expansys, Handtec, Clove etc are all LTE, looks like my decision had been made for me but would still love to know what version is gonna sell more.

How tough is to buy a phone without contract (simlock free) in the US ?

You're not beating the price. He meant with tax included. It's $699.99 and you don't have to pay for the SIM with Verizon. Neither phone is unlocked.

This is still better than ATT&T at $725+tax

That's a rip off to pay that much and your device and not be unlocked.
True you could probably hack around and unlock lock it, but it's the principle.
It does not pay to be first when it comes to electronics.

Should you upgrade to NOTE 3 ?

I feel it's not viable because of the high price.. in India is quoted at Rs.49990 nearly 800 USD .UNLOCKED... way too expensive... think Samsung has got the pricing absolutely wrong this time... 40k should have made me think off an upgrade.....

It depends on whether it has features which one really needs and which cannot be found on NoteII. Maybe you look at it from that angle.

Just wait till its available (25Th September on wards), 49900/- is the MRP should be available or around 47.5k give it lill more time till October end and u should be able ti buy it for 42/43k, most of the online store are selling sony Z1 for 43k where as its available for 40700/- locally.

Personally I won't be updating this time around. The only features which really grabbed me are the new note taking ones but I don't even use my note 2 for that. I have a note 8.0 which is much better for the purpose. Phone calls, texting and email work just fine on the note 2 and battery life is great so no reason to upgrade until note 4.
Sent from my GT-N7100

No. Maybe N5 or N6. I have my N2 for 6 months.

No , going to Note 4 or S 5

No, Note at All
Actually I am very happy with note 2.
Who will go for 49000 INR mobile phone.
Rather I may buy another Note 2 for my wife because I can get it at 28000 INR only.
Practically there is no app in the Google Play that could not be run perfectly on Note 2

I was going to but my dad just got an s4 and I've been setting it up for him. And honestly most of the new features are pointless and possible battery hogs.
Granted there's 1 or 2 i would like. But unless I can get it for say 50 quid plus my phone? I don't see the point.

Yeah exactly, unless you have money to burn it's a bit pointless.

That's just the launch date price and in store price. I buy my phones off of Amazon.es, since I'm here in Spain. They go down in price really quickly. The note 2 was 700 euros when it launched last year, in October (mid october) I bought it online for 540. Which is 160 euros off the list price in stores. 8 months later in store it was still 700 euros.
I think stores have to get more competitive or else they will lose more clients. I can't beat lower prices, free 2-3 day shipping and being able to buy stuff from home. I still go out and buy stuff, but really expensive stuff is a lot cheaper online. I found my current house thanks to a listing online! haha.
Back to the topic: I am thinking of the Note 3 as an update to my Note 2, but not this month or maybe even next. November? December? January? I love my Note 2. But I am also eyeing the Sony Xperia Z1 as well was waiting for the Nexus 5. After we get some proper reviews I'll think about it. But I honestly think that 550 is a good deal for the Note 3. I refuse to pay more than 550 for any mobile phone (unlocked of course). So just wait a few days or weeks or maybe even a month and you'll see the price drop quickly, especially online due to competition with other online retailers.
So... Are you going to buy it ?

For battery the LG g2 is also nice!

No I dont see any reason why I should

Just wait for the JB 4.3 update for your Note 2....then you will have a note 3...except for the tacky plastic simulated leather case. Admittedly, it may not run as fast as the Note 3....but it will do everything the note 3 can do....why waste your money if you have a N2?:fingers-crossed:
