I'll be getting this phone with in the next month, but I was curious what outlets you guys are aware of that are selling the phone.
I saw it on amazon 2 weeks ago for $900.00. Today its around $700, but I wanted to know if you guys knew of anywhere with even better deals.
It's a long shot I know, but I figure it is worth asking. Thanks
I would like to know this too. Seems the 'Hands Down Cheapest Place to Buy' thread is dead
Every day I scour XDA, Google, Ebay, etc looking for prices. I'm in Canada. With taxes,etc I think I'm looking at about $800 more or less (can anyone confirm that?). I think after Christmas I may go for this price but ideally I'm looking to pay about $700 more or less total. Then I'm worried about screen issues or a dead pixel which happened with the Nexus One I ordered from the States so I don't really want to ship it back overseas if this happens which it may judging by other threads...
So I'm looking for it to come down about another $100 but dont know if/when this will happen.
And ideally would like it to be released in Canada or even the US so I don't have to get it shipped which may lower that cost? But don't know if or when that will happen.
Then there is the fear that Samsung will discontinue it and I'll never get one or the prices will shoot up or something?

About $670 without VAT. From what I've seen in other threads, it doesn't apply if you're outside the EU. I think that might take the cake as the cheapest?
http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Galax...RDX6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1322262246&sr=8-1
Also Amazon has a couple different sellers with the SGN in stock. Around low 700-750s. Most of these are in the US which would be better in case of a defect.

I ordered mine from HandTec when they had it listed briefly for £418.99 plus £14.99 shipping, for a total of £433.98, (which PayPal converted to $697.46), but HandTec has put the price back to £434.90 + shipping since I ordered. May still be the best price, however.
OTOH, Amazon now has a Prime 2-day shipping seller for $739. I'd pay the extra $40 or so bucks to have Amazon peace of mind if I had seen a price that good 4 days ago.

The new issue with handtec is that fedex will charge you 30 $ 1-2weeks after u get the phone
So because I'm in Canada I'm looking at around $800
But if I was in the US or UK I'd be looking at around $700
Same thread and a few tips in here.. UK, US, CA, India, HK..... sources...

Hands Down Cheapest...
Well I still think Clove.co.uk is the best place to buy at this time simply because they're including a matching Samsung OEM Flip Case free! Also, being a commodity and having the price fluxuate by the hour (literally) keep checking MobileCityOnline.com too!
These two places at one point during the day can hit anywhere from $699 - $729 at the absolute lowest. But keep in mind Clove.co.uk INCLUDES the free Samsung OEM Flip Case. For some that's a deal maker plus most other outlets are selling this same flip case for $65 on average.
That is why if you catch Clove on the lower end of price fluxuation it's such a good deal. You won't go wrong choosing either one of these retailers that's the good news. The only possible bad news is at what price you'll end up paying for your Note.
Anyway you do it - your going to LOVE THIS PHABLET!
Abso - ****ing - lutly love it... quote me on that too.
Happy Hunting boys and girls.

I got the phone almost 3 weeks ago. I have not gotten this extra charge. I already paid $10 brokerage on delivery?

Charge $30 for what? FedEx hasn't charged me anything in the States for ordering from Handtec.
By far cheapest place to buy this phone is from India.
You get this phone for about US$ 615-620 range which includes official Samsung flip cover in the package.
If there is significant interest from people in states or UK, some of you guys can get in touch with some ebay.in sellers with good reputation and request him for shipping quote and get him to create a special thread for you guys.
Last time around with SGS2 couple of my mates from US requested a seller from ebay india this way and got him to create a private listing for them and got their SGS2.
Or if you guys trust someone from India around here in these forums, get him to purchase phones and paypal the funds to him.
Note is significantly cheaper here than anywhere else from what I have seen online.
DWI have the Note for $635 Australian this weekend and if you use the code LIKEDWI you get free priority shipping.

expansys USa $100 off GNote for net delivered $695
Use code BFNOTE during checkout and the price of the black GNote drops from $794.99 to $694.99 with free shippiong to USA address.
Hope that helps

that is a very expensive contract.
Especially taking into account the low amount of minutes and data you get.
Also paying £200 for the phone on top of the £720 is a big slap in the face...
return it and get a 'bigger' contract for less and also only pay a max. of £50 for handset

Great price for the Note from a dealer here in the US. Thanks!
Also don't forget to combine the 2% cashback for Expansys-USA through Fatwallet making it $681.

Darn! Can only select New Zealand or Australia for shipping.
Waiting, waiting, waiting for the price to come down a bit as I'm willing to pay a bit over $700 here in Canada total with shipping, tax, etc. but not willing to pay a over $800!! Just seems like too much...
I had a dream last night I was using my GNote & loving it... maybe the universe is trying to tell me to just order the darn thing

do you get the £100 of google play credit as well ?
interesting its reduced same amount at JL, Currys etc (excepting promo code) - glad I didn't get one at full RRP at release as it seems quite a drop in price ?

I always thought the RRP was seriously overpriced, Amazon UK are selling the black version for £279
Re google play credit - this is a straight copy and paste from Tesco Direct.
Claim £100 Google Play credit when you buy a Samsung Galaxy Pro tablet. Offer ends 11/5/14. To redeem, visit www.samsung.com/uk/offer/galaxy-pro-offer
Thanks for the info, ordered one yesterday. Should have it later on today
Gutted i missed out on the £100 google play credit
Also use a cash back web site - 5% off the £259 brings it down to £246. Ordered mine yesterday from Tesco Direct.

What a ripoff!!
I can get the tab pro 8.4 in Australia for AUD$347 (£190) with express shipping...
You guys sure get shafted lol!
Out of curiosity since they say it can take up to 30 working days; has anyone that got their Google Play credit claim confirmed about the time of the Tesco offer in the UK received it? It's been two weeks since I submitted mine and still nothing.

I bought mine from John Lewis.
It took exactly 2 weeks from applying to getting the code.
I've just received my £100 credit, after almost three weeks.

I just ordered one for $280 shipped, got an email with the coupon code cellphone20 which took another $20 off the already awesome price of $299 for this phone. Hurry, limited supply. Guess mine is going back to amazon!
This is for the 32GB White Frost Nexus 6
$326 with tax, the code is not working for me, I get a "Oops, we’re having technical issues. You can try your redemption code again."
Ebays coupon system seems to be not working.... Nice find though
I ordered this for my brother this morning. Awesome deal
Out of stock!!!

Jumped on this deal earlier today! Sold my OPO and returned my 3rd gen moto g when I was able to get a invite for opt! After using the opt its not a bad phone, decent only thing I don't like is the speakers or shall a say speaker... Saw this on AA yesterday for 299! I'll sell the opt once my N6 gets here!
To those on the verge of purchasing,
Just got an email showing the Redmi Note 2 Prime (32GB) being on sale for the next few days.
Oddly enough, the black version is $10 cheaper than the white one: http://www.gearbest.com/cell-phones/pp_229218.html?vip=56770
I've been waiting for a special offer to pop up before I bite the bullet and buy it, this may very well be it!
P.S. Not sure what the policy is on referrals, but I like to be direct, so using that link will only help me get a discount on the phone itself, it doesn't seem to award any commission.
But also remember, you will never know if what you are ordering is in stock or not. Until nothing arrives at your address. Be warned before using Gearbest.com

Gearbest is so shady and I will never use them again, I'd recommend staying far away.
I ordered a Chuwi Vi10 64GB w/ keyboard case on 9/11/15; I had to do the "sketchy" ID verification also, but they took my order and my money.
I received a broken keyboard on 10/2/15 , and over 30 days later, still no tablet.
Now the replacement keyboard is out of stock.
They suggest I find an alternative keyboard to replace it (for a custom keyboard/case made for the tablet, WTF!).
I've re-ordered the tablet & keyboard from banggood.com, got my fingers crossed.
P.S. Techtablets has other user reviews for Gearbest, they pretty much suck!!!
I also suggest to stay away from gearbest.... I cancelled my order because it appeared as "processing" for too many days.
They answered my tickets with delay and always with generic apologies but never gave me a real dispatch date. As I heard there are many people waiting for their redmi note 2 I assume they just don't have enough pieces in stock (despite they show all the phones as available).
I still have another order made on 09/27 yet "processing".
I didn't cancel it only because those are 20$ of accessories for my xiaomi yi and in this case I don't care to wait too long, but still this tells me how efficient they aren't with their business.
I'm still waiting for my redmi note 2 from gearbest.com I ordered on 30th September. How long after cancellation did you receive refund? As of now they don't seem to want to answer my ticket!
Sent from my Moto G 2014 using Tapatalk
08OCT I asked to cancel the order and be refunded
09OCT They replied asking me if I would prefer to be refunded or get a GB credit
09OCT I say I want the amount to be refunded into my Paypal account
12OCT They confirmed the order was cancelled and refund processed (they said to wait 3-5 working days)
12OCT Got notification from Paypal about refund
12OCT Refund available into my paypal account
Before coming to the forums and reading this, I ordered one from this site (though it was before the sale). So far it has been smooth, as yesterday it shipped. Hoping now that there's a phone somewhere in that package...
I've ordered a Redmi Note 2 16 GB from Gearbest. Took them about a week to dispatch my phone and another week to get it(used a faster cargo choice).
The only issue i have with the phone is bloatware which everyone seems to be having but other than that the phone is stable and fast.
Just buy the TDD version to get a discount
Geekbuying has it on sale too, only for 10 days
Geek buying
I just ordered the 32 gig version from geek buying hopefully their better than gear best! Does anybody know if it works on T-Mobile/Metro PCS?
Thumbs up experience with everbuying.net for me.
The problem with gearbest and many other sites that never have real stock and needs the money from the orders to buy the phones. In some cases the phones are out of stock from the manufacturer and they have to wait. I made the order for the prime the 19st of september and ships the 4th of october.

Hotmid.com is another good alternative, delivered a bloat free phone to Sweden in 8 days standard shipping.
Picked 16 GB chinese version with microSD for 110 USD today, NOT from gearbest.
The price of an Honor 8 (US Version) has dropped to only $261.00 USD. This is down about $50 from only a few days ago.
EDIT: The price seems to be jumping around. Sorry if the price is changed when you click on the link. I just bought a Pearl White model for $260.00.

B&H had the 32GB for $299.99 & 64GB for $349.99 for the last couple of days. I just checked and they are back to the regular prices. I was going to wait and go into the retail store tomorrow (Sunday) and pick one up, but I missed it.
Anyway, I just ordered the 64GB pearl white model on Amazon. Amazon currently has the 64GB model at $319.99. Not sure how long that will last.

Grabbed a 32gb on Jet.com for my mother for $290 after that 15% of first three orders code (max $20). Got the Axon 7 on Jet.com for $325 last year. You can save $10 just using their opt-out of free returns, etc. Some nice deals to be had if you can stack savings around $30 in total.
I've seen them for as low as $240 but never needed one. The front speakers are why I chose the A7 over the Honor 8. Hopefully the speaker isnt as bad as the 5X she is replacing. Almost went with the Moto G5.
