Xoom car charger 50% off at Verizon (ended; 3/24)

For all who are interested in getting a car charger for the Xoom, now might be the time. Verizon Wireless has a sale with 50% off. No idea when this will expire or if it's available in all areas. Follow me.
EDIT: It actually includes free shipping as well!

I see the standard dock is on sale as well -9.00 off

Thank You!!!
I just ordered mine. This was a necessity for me as I know my wife will be on my Xoom (Angry Birds, no doubt) during our long trips down the coast to see family.
$15 is a great deal.

Can't seem to be able to buy it from the Xoom, though. Only option is "Wish List".

Make sure you use the compatibility check and Put in the xoom. Then it will let you add to cart. Thanks to the OP! Ordered mine earlier today after reading this. Great deal!

Just ordered mine with free overnight shipping. Can't beat that

Ah, thanks! Also, if there's a VZ store near you, you can get it in-store for the same price. Headed over there now.

It gets worse- they charged me $14.95, exactly, just as it was listed on my pickup order- not even the 8.75% CA sales tax! Ah well, perhaps I can save someone else some time with this info ....

Thank you.
I have to be honest here though this is really the way to go:

Buy it one time and your done for life. Wire it up and stick it under the seat. I believe AutoZone and Advanced Auto sell them at reasonable prices as well. I mean of course you could go to WalMart but come on people spread your money around.

These inverters are ok however, the 12v car type charging cords are less wear and tear on you autos elect. system. I drive a semi and our company had increaced service costs because of drivers useing these inverters in the trucks. I am not saying dont buy one I was just giveing out some info. to think about before buying a inverter.

I bet one of the reasons they sell this cord so cheep is that they wanted to know who has a 3G/4G xoom that has not signed up for a data plan. I bet they will use this info. to try and sell you a plan. Who knows they may even have specials that will come up with less of a cost for their data plan. But I know they will at least use your shipping adress to send you offers. Over night shipping is expencive! between $11.00-$13.00! (they have to be loosing money on this cord + shipping) I myself dont care if they send me junk mail as long as I get this cord OVERNIGHT shipped to me for this price!. Its a good idea for the company to do it this way.

I am not sure I understand this reasoning. When I bought mine from Costco, they took my info and recorded the serial of the Xoom. I did not get the data plan. So they have my info already and can easily see that I am not using their data plan. Why would they need to sell an accessory to determine this?

Its a cheap way for a company to get a mailing list for selling stuff!. Its not a bad idea in fact, its a good idea!. Remember other cell companies are going to be adding the xoom to their service plans soon (Sprint to name one) compitition is a good thing for the customer!. Also, just think about it for a second.... This also provides Sprint a advance way to check your credit as you use your card when buying the cord, and there by filter out customers with sub standard credit for their services. Then when they offer you a "special plan" they will know they can aprove you when you sign up. Makes sense now?

Of course, that is the same with all companies. But to say they are selling these to find out who is using their data plan or not does not make sense. If my grandma ordered the cable for me and does not even have a Xoom, how would that help them determine whether or not someone is using data? You don't need to enter any information about your Xoom to order it. Does not make sense. I am sure Verizon already has the serial # of every Xoom sold and can easily see which ones have data plans and which ones do not.

Ok tell me why they would pay $11.00-$14.00 for over night shipping and charge you only $14.99 for a cord with free over night shipping? (the kindness of their heart? I DONT THINK SO!) trust me its for marketing their service! companys dont give away anything for free without getting something back worth more to them.

I am not sure what you don't understand about they already have your information when you purchased the Xoom. They already know whether or not you have data plan with them. What difference does it make whether you buy an accessory from them or not? They already have your info! And what does a car charger have to do with finding out if you have a data plan? Nothing. It is for charging your device not accessing data. You are not making any sense.

Best Buy or Sprint.

Are there advantages to getting the HTC LTE at Best Buy instead of Sprint?
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium

I prefer Best Buy. The biggest reason for me is because with sprint you have to send in for the mail in rebate's while with Best Buy they are instant so you don't have to wait 6-8 weeks to get your money back. Also sometimes the prices are actually cheaper at Best Buy.
Also, the sales people at Sprint stores work on comission while those at BestBuy do not.....the sales people at Sprint are like used car salesmen. They will promise/say anythnig to get you to buy something so thety make money while those at Best Buy do not since tehy get paid the same regardless and thus are usually more honest.

Doesn't matter. The first 30 days are covered from both places, if you have a problem in the first 30 days just bring it back and they should give you a new device. After the 30 days, you have the warranty good through one year, and you have to take it to a sprint repair center.

Very good question, and glad you asked actually.
Would probably respectfully say, Best Buy would be your best bet. You get the phone the same day as you do with Sprint, but the mail in rebate is already subtracted from the original retail price which is a +.
Hope we helped you come to a conclusion

Best buy also offers the buy back program. I got it for free but I think it now runs like 30-40 bucks. Basically they take the full price of the phone before discounts and offer you a percentage back which varies depending on when u bring it back. I know after a year they give u 40%. So the evo was what 650-700 when I bought it I think. Well after a year they pay u 40% of that. It goes down a little after that but slowly. Just makes u be able to update every year still without the upgrade.

Much appreciated to all. Sounds like I'm going to best buy.

Mail in rebate??
So wait, the $199 pricetag is after a mail-in rebate through Sprint?? I was unaware of this. So you pay like $299 up front?
Does Best Buy have the May 7th pre-order also?
Oh... I think I have a $50 BB gift card! That may have made this decision easier. Haha.

Correct. Some stores/managers MAY wave the mail-in and give it to you instantly, but I doubt it.
And yes, BB will get the release the exact same day as sprint.

I choose best buy. They hook you up. I got my og EVO from there, and they threw in a case for 5.00$
Helped me setup my phone, and they made me feel right at home.

Believe it or not Radio shack is amazing to buy phones. they are so desperate on phone selling. a few of my friends work there and they always have amazing deals for phones either with discounted price or with free goodies.

so how much is that new evo LTE gonna cost retail? I'll have a crappy $150 rebate, but i'm not paying $650 for that phone. Is there around this at all? threaten to cancel?
which would be better then?

I believe I heard $550 MSRP, but that seems pretty low actually.
You can do the buyout program. It's like $20 per month early; something like that.

theres pros and cons to both. Sprint has more freedom to do things but Best buy can many times give you more out the door but yeah Radio shack is stepping up.

Best buy trade in or Ebay?

So I think I am going to ditch sprint and their crappy data speeds and switch to Verizon. Best buy has a deal right now that you can get a free nexus with a 2 year deal.
I stupidly bought the buyback thingy when I got the phones. I would get $40 for it. I've seen them go on ebay for higher than that. Since my phone is rooted should I sell on ebay because it may be worth more rooted?
Thankssssssssssss.

So you have an evo you are looking to sell and your asking if its better to sell on eBay or trade it in?
Is it a clean esn?
If it is, its worth a bunch! Depending on shape $135+/-
If its not clean, I've still seen them all going for $100.
I bought a bad esn, very clean one for $80. And that was way under all current bids.
This pricing was about 3 weeks ago
AOKP anything

I would try to sell it through craigslist (local only). The phone is worth $100 all day long if its in perfect working order. Don't hold out to get more, cause you probably won't. I am starting to find SGS2 for $100 - 150's, get what you can for it since it's still worth money.

I'll try that too. Seems after more searching on Ebay that's the route I will go if I don't get a local sale. I actually have 2 evo's. Mine is in good shape (dropped it once) with no problems. It's rooted with SensuAOSP right now. My wifes is in perfect condition with the latest ota on it, not rooted.
How much do you think I should ask? $80 for mine and maybe $100 for hers?

It just depends on how bad you want to get rid of them. Sounds like they both should pull $100, I wouldn't differentiate the price between the two unless that one drop of yours made a BIG difference in visual quality. From my experience, start with Craigslist for a few days at $120, then go to Ebay with plenty of pics. Some people recommend still trying to sell on Craigslist while you have it listed on Ebay at the same time, but I'm not a fan of that. To each their own though.

+1 to this man. CL ONLY.

Believe it or not Best Buy gave us $120 each for our phones. Not bad. We are the proud owners of 2 Samsung Galaxy Nexus. I loved my EVO but I am so happy to make full use of a smart phone on a better network.

Did you have to sign up for a new contract in order for it to sell for $120?

I can't remember if I had to sign a new contract or not for the buy back. I think they would have done it for an upgrade as well.
They actually gave me $120 PER PHONE!
Needless to say I went with that vs selling on cl or ebay.

3rd party insurance

When I was contract I usually just use what they had but now being off contract gsm riding carriers like the wind. What phone insurance is there. I dropped my nexus the other day and cracked the screen and I'm pretty sure I've messed up some of the hardware since right after I started getting FC's and missing files. Just wondering so when I buy the lg nexus I'll have some insurance on it. Thanks.

They normally offer insurance to phones bought off ebay but i think you can get it..
Its like 29.99 for one year and phone can be used or new.
you just send it to them and if they cant fix it for a low fee like 50 bucks, they pay you the full price.

The thing is that I'm buying this phone, either the S4 or the One, off contract full price so best buy always charges like $150 more for off contract phones. Its not worth it.

With my selling experience on eBay like 85% of the bids come within a couple hours of the end time. Trust me you'll get $300+. PM me and let me know what you get! I'm thinking of doing the same and paying the difference to get the S4 with no upgrade. I have a ton of accessories too.

I have 3 cases 3 oem batteries and one extended battery and two chargers and a S3 with the box in perfect condition. Thats why when I went into Sprint and the guy was saying" Just pay the early upgrade for $100 and give us your old S3 we will knock $106 off the upgrade price which is $450. lol I asked if he was smoking crack and then said he77 no. Lol. It was funny and sad to listen to them try and "convince" me to do a early upgrade.

Could that $106 go towards and upgrade ?
Either way I would be better off selling my gs3 for $250 minimum and that would cover the upgrade fee.

So this is how it works. If you are eligible for a upgrade or buy the phone off contract, you get to keep your device. If you want to upgrade early it is whatever price they say depending on where you are in your contract and they take the device you are using and give you some ungodly amount for it, whatever they give you for the phone goes toward the upgrade. Which is a ripoff.

If you would have checked Thursday 4/25/13 best buy was giving $350 for the phone as trade in value. I had buy back on my phone which guarantees me $280 right now. But because the trade in value was higher than buy back, I would have received $376.50 if I traded my phone in. I was stupid not to do it. I still get $280 but that's almost $100 difference lol

Re:
If you want to do the early upgrade what you need to do is find an old phone from
Sprint with a clean esn and trade it in. Then you can pay the early upgrade fee and get phone with subsidize price. Then sell the phone that your S3 on ebay or craiglist foe 300+ and that way you'll save some money. For the early upgrade fee they just need a phone to be trade in but it doesn't has to be your current phone it just need be a clean esn phone. You trade in like an old blackberry or the first Evo or it could even be feature phone like Moto Rzor but with clean esn.

All together how much would doing the early upgrade cost? Cause buying off contract is like $750+, obviously if it's cheaper than that, then doing the early upgrade would be wroth it!

From browsing the HTC One forum you can ask bestbuy to price match the retail price for the carrier. Some say it worked, others said it didn't. Can't hurt to try.

I already asked they said they price match everything but phones. I'm just selling mine and buying new off amazon, they have the same prices as Sprint.

If you want to do the early upgrade what you need to do is find an old phone from
Sprint with a clean esn and trade it in. Then you can pay the early upgrade fee and get phone with subsidize price. Then sell the phone that your S3 on ebay or craiglist foe 300+ and that way you'll save some money. For the early upgrade fee they just need a phone to be trade in but it doesn't has to be your current phone it just need be a clean esn phone. You trade in like an old blackberry or the first Evo or it could even be feature phone like Moto Rzor but with clean esn.
