Do you guys think $460 USD for a new one is a good deal for it? Thanks!
I can tell you that mine with a contract from T-Mobile was $396 taxes and shipping. I simply renewed with a new 2 year contract to get that price. Still not happy with the cost, but it was still cheaper than getting one with a German QWERTZ keyboard ( since I live in Germany and have T-Mobile in the US, too).
Oh... Hmmm, well, I'm getting it from T-mobile too, except without a contract. I think without contract should make up for it, no? Since I'm on prepaid.
wow, that much WITH a 2 year contract? i got mine for free with an 18 month one

If it´s unlocked and with no contract price is ok I think.
If you have the link where I can get it one for that price please post it here!
Sorry no link. I'm using craigslist.
Not a bad deal at all. I paid $540 shipped overnight for mine unlocked. Wasn't brand new but it basically was. Hardly used, 10/10 condition, box and all accessories. I wish I couldve paid just $460 haha ... hell, if you don't like it, you can always resell it for $100+ more than what you paid.

Do a quick search of the forum. I just ordered mine today for $149 ... No activation, free shipping...
Paying more than $150 isn't a good deal...
I´m sure prices will drop waiting all this fever of getting it first!
So if there is no rush for having it, waiting always is better.
Damm, I can´t wait to have one

many people here not realizing how lucky they are with the subsidized price from operators... *although by partially selling your soul to them on contract *
i can confirm shadixs experience cuz I paid around that much too. but in our cases, it's price after tax and includes after-sales warranty. we can buy through ebay, or imports, but no after-sales...
you paid 655, is it included warranty... sir?
peid 600
paid 600 Euros without a contract.
Everz single Euro was worth it !!!!

May I ask where you purchased one for £350? I'm in the market for one once I've sold my HTC Hero tomorrow.
What is the cheapest anyone has gotten the Note2 for and , where could i find it for the cheapest price?
mods* if this doesnt belong here please just move it, or if its already been asked please link me to that thread
For me, Craigslist or Ebay.. But Craigslist is really really.. It's 50/50. I would rather pay more and just buy at a retail store or someyhing. So many people getting their phone's IMEI blocked after buying from CL and stuff. Try Swappa

+1 for swappa. I bought a TMobile 7.0+ and an i717 off there with no issues. I'm looking for a white collar collar job this fall when I finish working beach volleyball and I'll probably be buying a Note 2 off there.
I've bought a couple on local craigslist for $400 in like new condition. They do pop up from time to time. It seems the going rate in the Ventura area is $475. I stumbled across a Verizon one for $350. It had chewed up chrome bezel and battery door. I spent $25 on replacing them and got $500 for it. So don't be afraid of body damage as long as the glass is in good shape.

been looking and have found some a lil bit lower.. im actually looking at two right now
1st) is a Sprint Gnote2 already flashed to pageplus ( which is what i would do with it if i get it anyways) for $220
2nd) is Tmobile Gnote 2 clean imei for $300
cant decide
one hand one is cheaper and pageplus works off verizon towers which would give me good reception wherever i am but fastest data speed is 2mb down .. pageplus plan for $70 with 5gb data is the plan i would get on this...
the tmobile is more expensive , i would get the $70 plan have unlimited data but some complain about call quality and coverage and i use phone for work so not sure... tmobile data would obviously be alot faster and you could talk and surf and the same time which is not a requirement but a plus..
still trying to decide ...aaarrggghhh
Check Amazon every once in a while for deals through personal sellers. For ex. I got a brand new unopened and unlocked iPhone 5 for $480 shipped about 3 months after release just because of how cheap it was.. Used it for 3weeks or so and turned around and still sold it for 788 on ebay

That doesnt make sense to me. Why would people pay more than the retail price for a used phone? People on ebay are crazy

U didnt mention its 64gb lol. Tought it was 16
I do agree that some people do crazy things on ebay especially.
I have seen crazy seller too. As in listing for used s3 starting at
899.00
But to each is his own.
I got my note2 on ebay for 435.00 includ shipping.
But I had to hunt for it almost 6 month.
I got my note 2 for tmobile from wirefly. com for 300 but had to sign a new contract

Anything on Craigslist/ Ebay/ Amazon for really cheap- Less than $400 or so, I would consider suspicious. Especially the ones that look really new. Some people claim on insurance and the one they are selling you is the one they probably got off of insurance by ripping someone else off. Ebay is a little better because they have buyer protection- but still, it's only 30 days and the original owner can report lost/stolen, claim insurance after 30 day period.
Bought a Note 2 for $500 brand new and a week later, got it blocked.
I have heard that if you meet with the seller at a Tmobile store, they'll be able to switch over the IMEI- but make sure it's not on a payment plan or you'll be screwed even if you switch over the IMEI..

Yeah, I wonder as well. I think that it's probably an AT&T question though.
Its not actually $200 off, its a guaranteed $200 trade-in for any working phone. Sure, it mathematically comes out the same in the end, but without a phone to trade, you don't get the $200.
It says in there "come back on 10/10 for the trade in", it still works until then.

Something new on the promotion site from the last time I saw it; Best Buy customers go in-store to redeem instantly. Also in the fine print it states Best Buy customers do not need to submit the form, so it looks like we can get it from Best Buy without the inconvenience of waiting 6-8 weeks for the rebate check.
Can you apply the BB gift card to the note 4 purchase if you are buying it outright?

Best Buy has their own trade in promotion that gives you an instant $200 gift card when buying a Note 4.
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/promo/samsung-galaxy-note-4-128435
So I went to Best Buy and asked one of their phone guys, about this. He said that basically you pre-order the phone (if you do it online it has to be for in store pick up, which is not available yet on their website). Then when you come into the store to pick up the phone, you can bring in any other working smart phone. Cannot have damage to it. And they need the battery and charger with it too. They will give you a 200$ credit/gift card. That can be used towards the purchase price of the phone. They will apparently let you buy the phone outright too, which I have had issues, doing with them in the past. But now with the mobile share value plans and Next and all it looks like they may have changed their tune about that finaly.
Interesting thing is that it looks like their price is 25$ cheaper than AT&T.

Wait. Any working phone? Could I get 200 for my old captivate?
Edit: aww... I just saw the details. Kinda a pain.
Thank god I decided to look on XDA before pre ordering!
FYI giftcardgranny.com (or similar site) will give you approximately 90% value of the gift card in cash.
I'm trading in an old 3gs
I have hear 2 different answers from Bestbuy on if the promo can be for off contract purchase or not.

They'll tell you you're out of luck. Looks like the Pearl has a $0 trade in value. Trade in values can be found here: https://tradein.bestbuy.com/client/#/catalog/

I tried several times. No go.
lolwut. They're two different items...
The best deal Best Buy had was getting a $200 gift card whenever you pre-ordered a GN4 and traded in any old smartphone. I bummed a cheap smartphone from someone on Craigslist for $40 and got $160 for essentially just getting the phone through Best Buy.

I ordered the full price Note 4 for Verizon on 9/25. Was scheduled to be delivered today but I just got the notice that they are out of stock. I am on the Verizon UDP with my current Note 2 still and want to keep it. I did my trade in through amazon and that went through. I am looking for suggestions on the quickest way to get a Note 4 in my hands while keeping my unlimited data plan.
I got a good deal through Amazon, $622 for the note 4, but at this point I don't want to wait for weeks to get it. Can I get it through Verizon or Best Buy and still get the rebate (mail in or instant) and keep my unlimited date plan?
Thanks in advance for the suggestions.

Hi, thanks.
Yep, I know there are two rebates. One required preorder by 10/22, which I obviously did through Amazon, but if I cancel I will not meet this requirement.
The other https://samsunggalaxypromotions.com/tradein does not require a preorder, but it does appear to require the trade in and purchase to be on the same transaction. Since I have already had my trade in processed through Amazon, this isn't really feasible either.
I was looking at the Best Buy Option. Didn't study their spin on the rebate, and they are selling the full price phone for $749 rather than the $699 I paid on Amazon.
I'm in the same boat. I just cancelled my amazon order. I was just at best buy and they wouldn't let me buy the phone outright. Computer wanted a 2yr activation to get the $200 gift card. I showed the managers that all their flyers and ads don't say anything about that being a requirement. I was there over an hr. They did nothing except waste my time.

Moved your question thread to Q&A where it should have been created - please post in the correct sections.
Thank you.
I'm typing this from my note4 that I paid 299 for via my udp
I bought it in store at best buy and used an upgrade on a 2gb line (nationwide share plan). They said they have to activate the phone, which is fine since it went to the 2gb line. After I left the store, I popped in my udp sim card from my note 2 and voila. They're offering a bonus 200 trade in gift card for a working smart phone until 10/31, but I figured I'd hang onto my note 2 for a backup if needed. I may even buy a cheap Craigslist phone and turn it in to best buy for that gift card. $95 for a note 4 with udp ain't too shabby.
Anyone that ordered from Amazon actually get any info on shipping yet? This is kinda crazy.
