Best Buy Luck - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

Curious how many people got it from Best Buy. We're trying to see if theres a method to the madness of how it was distributed to the stores so randomly.

Got 2 with 2 upgrades in san antonio texas this morning.

how much?
150?

There were 6 at my best buy but got it from the Sprint store cause they opened sooner. I guess the reward zone points would have been nice but I needed the phone.

199.99

I drove 50 miles as best buy was my only option to obtain one on launch day. I got the first one. I am stoked. They had six.

I sat with my new pals at Best Buy and we watched RSS as the 2 (that every store in the district had in transit) popped into the system. I had 1 held at another store just to be safe. I also got a $50 Sprint gift card just in case that fell through. Worked out perfectly since best buy didn't have any accessories but Sprint did.

Awesome. So they left the status as in transit to avoid presales. Interesting tactic lol

Its apparently not really showing up in a lot of systems. I was there 15 minutes after opening and got the first one. The person had to physically check if hey had it. Computer didnt say they did.

Got mine from best buy. Fantastic phone. Well worth the upgrade.
I was first to get it at the store. 6 people behind me.

Got it at my local Best Buy. There were only 6 in stock and my friend and I camped out an hour before it opened. They didn't even know that this phone existed until we asked for it and they looked all over their inventory for it.

I got mine at best buy for $199.99. My local store had about 10 of them and i was 1st at the store.

Picked mine up at a sprint store here in Pearl City, Hawaii. The Best Buy right next to it wasn't getting their shipment in until next week, or so I was told. But the Sprint store did not have any available to anyone who did not preorder.

None of my sprint stores locally have them, one of the managers texted and asked me to bring it by so he could see it.

hey wingz it was crazy last night huh? first none showed up in the system and now our best buy has them for 199. im on the way to check it out now

You mean...they wouldn't sell you the phone off contract? Like you couldn't buy it for $700 or whatever it costs? To buy the phone for $300 you MUST be in a 2 year contract....and your current contract must be expired or about to expire.

They get a commission on new activations and upgrades, so most likely no incentive to sell to you at full price. Not defending or condoning this sales tactic, but they also might have had limited stock and would prefer to sell to new activations or upgrades (spiffs and commissions, again being the incentive).
Sucks...i know.
They wouldnt sell it to me for $649.99

i had no problems, even activating it on my SERO acct. i was offered an "early" upgrade for $225 and then buy the phone at the reduced price. i didn't go for it since i want to be off contract asap. i don't like being on them if i can help it.
I've had this happen before most likely its not a corporate store. Other stores have there own policy's on who they sell too.

buy it online, deny the store dbags commision
They call sell it to someone else who is a new or upgrading customer and get the stats and possible commissions involved. Business man. Sucks to be on the crappy side of it though, but if you were using an upgrade or a new customer you'd likely appreciate this policy. Probably just a "that" store thing, try another location.

I've often heard people say this. If yo are planning on leaving, then why even buy the phone. If you are otherwise happy with the service, why not sign a commitment and get the price reduction? It only makes sense. Besides you can buy out your contract ANY time. Also Sprint changes their TOS so often you can usually get out for free anyway. Not to mention excessive data roaming will get you kicked.

I just had the same thing happen, except I have two lines and they want $450.00 combined.
That plus the additional costs of the phones $600 seems too excessive to be enslaved for another 2 years.
To go with the threads theme....I went to buy the phone outright today so I call beforehand and ask if they have stock, yes, and more then a few. Once I show up I explain to the guy that i'm going to pay outright, and he goes into his spiel on the accessories. They love selling accessories, and how I need a 64GB card cause the phone will be slow after awhile without one, and that this comes with a stylus, which he goes to demonstrate (of course doesn't work due to the theft magnet) and says its only used for texting...yes. I tell him i'll just take the phone which he wasn't happy about.....But I was nice considering I can be a real prick at times, I admit.
So he disappears in the back for 5 minutes only to emerge and walk towards me, then turns around as if he forgot his lines, then turns to me and says they only had 2 (One was sold before I arrived) and 1 on a 24 hour hold, would I like his card to call tomorrow? I say no, it's apparent I was being lied to if not now then before I arrived and we will not be doing any business. In all fairness this store if always fully stocked with jerks and I rather go to the dentist then go into this place.
Thought the general policy is phones go to people on contract only for a few weeks, and then you're allowed to buy it outright. Granted policies can differ and it's generally the premium, in demand phones, but it favors people willing to commit. Suck it up or find a different place to buy. Most stores I know sold through, so if I have people willing to commit to a contract and get me a commission, I'd tell you to come back when I have a steady supply, policy or not.

Probably eBay..I'm in Tampa and wouldn't take the risk of walking up to a stranger with $700 in cash... End up in a stand your ground case or something.
Out of curiosity which store did you get them from? I'm going to try another store tomorrow with better luck hopefully.
If it wasn't a corporate store, I'd agree with James873. The non corp stores suck in my experience.

I do that kinda CL cash. Just meet in a mall. The you go your separate ways in the crowd. Never a parking lot. Could even do it at a sprint store. Not illegal to scalp phones.

Purchased each phone at a different Sprint Store, but the first was on North Dale Mabry, and the second was on West Kennedy, both stores are Corporate.
Also, check Gulf to Bay Sprint Corporate store, they had some too, but I just did not want to drive all the way out there for a white one, not the Titanium.
You should be able to score a Note II, between those three Corporate Stores.

excellent idea, would definitely be willing to meet at a Sprint Store or even a 3rd Party retailer in the shopping mall.
using that method, this weekend should be easy enough to get it out of the way.

Yeah, douche bigalow from my story above was north dale, and when I got to Kennedy there was no lie like 20 people at the store and I didn't feel like waiting. I'm in the next town over tonight so I'll try the corp stores here. Good luck selling although not sure why you bought the phones if you didn't want them, and why not just return them.
Sorry op for the thread derail!

A corporate store is a location that is actually "Sprint Store", rather than say, "Sprint by tCell" in the Shopping mall, which is a 3rd party retailer authorized to sell Sprint phones and Services.

Can your guy inside confirm the lack of headphones in the box?
Also color options? White available?
He doesn't seem to be good at timely answers. My wife heard All stores are only getting 5 each and I asked him if it was true and its been half an hour ago and still no answer. I told him I need 2. I'll ask but can't promise timely answers.

I'd like to echo this sentiment. From what I've heard, from people's dealings with AT&T customer representatives, there's a thought that the white version will be available on Friday in stores. I really want the white version... so... can we get a yay or a nay?
Thanks!

I will be at the store nearest me at 8:30 Friday morning to try and get one. I am *so tired* of getting the runaround by ATT reps. First the inability to preorder online, then the phone rep telling me there's nothing she could do and they had no idea, and to go talk to a store. One store telling me that I could come back in a few days and preorder it from them, then saying a few days later they didn't even have the SKU in the system. *Then* that same store told me I wouldn't have a hard time at all getting one, however, I called back yesterday and they said "We aren't getting very many, you might want to be here early." ARGH. This shouldn't be this frustrating.
Just checked att website says they have them in stock to purchase at my local att store in upper darby, pa!

My local store just call me to let me know they have more than enough in @ the Town Center Jacksonville, Fl. Too bad I got a really good deal via premier support by phone. They were going to give me the phone for 299 with some freebee's but was adding a line and just keeping with no phone/data on it. 9.99 a month...Premier CSR gave it to me same price and did an early upgrade (6 months early!). I'm happy.

Try this link: http://www.att.com/shop/wireless/devices/samsung/galaxy-note-ii-titanium-gray.html?source=IC0GM8014bT00a0lO# (copied it from the AT&T website after going to the Samsung Note II page). Under the "Add to cart" button there's a "check in-store availability" link.
This really sucks. I went to an at&t store and waited until they opened this morning. They had 5 galaxy notes for sale but they would not sell me once because I would not sign a new contract. I tried buying the phone for full price and they told me it could be over a month before they are able to sell the GN2 off contract. I called customer support who actually called the store because they couldn't believe they wouldn't sell it to me. Customer support ended up saying its up to the manager to decide if they have limited stock...blah blah blah.
Terrible customer service from at&t as usual. I don't know what to do about it now because even customer support would not let me order it from them directly on the phone. I have a business account with them so I am waiting to hear back from my company rep but this BS should be allowed to exist. I am literally willing to give them $650 + tax for a phone and they won't take my money. If it wasn't for my grandfathered unlimited data plan than I would think about leaving them. Does anyone have any similar experience or suggestions on how to make this happen for me? I really wanted to get a GN2.

All of the local bestbuy stores to me have useless (or carefully uninformative) employees. One store told me it wouldn't be in until black friday, another said to check back monday because that's when the trucks come with new stock.
I would buy from AT&T, but the black tie plan is worth it's weight in myrrh. I'll wait until I can be insured with no deductible.
.^^^^I agree i had a chance to buy one at att store but helf back vecause i didn't want to pay $10 a month on top of $200 deductible. Where BB is $170 one time and no deductible.

Outright geek squad can be returned at a pro-rated cost so it's really not beneficial to pay monthly if you think about it like that. Right now I'm waiting for them to say my Note 1 is not reparable so that they "junkout" my Note 1 so that I can get my Note 2 at no cost (actually ending up with $100+ in store credit)
Oh and it's not Best Buy that is holding onto the launch til Sunday. We have a hard street date of 11/9 for the ATT Note2 it's just that a bunch of stores did not get them in yet.
This reminds me of the SGS3 release when people did not get their phones for a week past the release date and some 2 weeks.
Same story here in St.Louis...was there and the AT&T Friday morning when they opened at 9am...now the AT&T store has one reserved for me at 11 am Sunday morning when they can sell them...They hadn't even put one out at the AT&T store yet till I asked to see one..BB didn't have any out or in the back...nor any cases for them either..Both places had them inbound along with the new LG one coming out..
Can hardly wait till I have mine home...I've been using a I-phone 4s for the last 3 months (very long story )...and been playing with my Captivate for the last week loading different JB roms...missing the hell out of it when the good wife gave me her upgrade and I jumped at the chance..She was holding out for a new 5...but seeing them she decided she liked her Cappy the way I had it fixed up and can wait till my upgrade hits next August She likes JB
Sorry for the long story...I'm feeling like a kid on the night before Christmas
Mac
Another kid before Christmas here. I went through the warranty dept. My upgrade is May. I got several doa refurb GS II's, so they gave me a One X refurb. I was just going to let that hold me over until the GS IV when I qualify. But its got stuck pixels, the refurb I got to replace it was scratched and on the unrootable update, so I sent it back. Now that the update was rooted I was going to get another. I asked if I could somehow get a new one instead of another refurb. They said sure ... For $99 with early upgrade. Instead I asked for a Note II, on Monday. They said I would have to wait until yesterday, they couldn't pre-order an early upgrade. So I called really early Friday morning so I could get it overnighted and play with it over the weekend. Turns out I got standard shipping instead. So I may have to take Wednesday off work, or a half day.
It all worked out though, I called back to see if Wednesday was really when its expected, and asked again about the $199 price match. I got a $128 credit, so I faired pretty well. But, I may overload the UPS mobile site with all my refreshes until Wednesday.

I picked one up (white) at the AT&T store in Roosevelt Field Mall in Long Island, NY. They had two when I walked in and before I left I overheard
another customer asking for it.
Yeah, a few AT&Ts had it in my area but I want to get it from Best Buy. Silver Rewards gives me 60 days to return with no restocking unlike AT&Ts 14 days and a restocking fee.
It is now showing up as available at all stores in my area for pickup (Buffalo, NY). It looks like att had the weekend head start. I will be going to pick up my preorder as soon as they open today.

i ordered my Note 2 from AT&T on Monday (straight off their website) and apparently it's on backorder.
anyone here have any experience with their shipping system? this is my first time ordering a phone off their website, and definitely my first time on backorder with them. was curious how long i should expect to wait before seeing my phone.

i ordered it online because none of the stores in my area had it in stock on monday (closest one that had it in stock was 80 miles away). i called around and asked. guess i'll just have to wait and see how long it takes.
i was checking for the white version, btw. i'm kind of deadset on it, just prefer the way it looks by far over the grey.

I ordered on Saturday the 24th and was told it was in stock, then I called yesterday and they told me it was on back order, I got so mad at them for telling me one thing, and it was not true. Just an FYI the online matched the in store price for me. On black Friday my local att store was having buy a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 for 300 get the note #2 for 50.00 or a SG3 for free. I took the SG3 and sold it, and called the online division and asked if they would use my upgrade and sell me the note 2 for 50.00 and after getting the ok from his boss I am getting the Note 2 for 50. Can't wait to get it hope it is not on back order to long
Just got an email tonight at 7:25 pm Eastern Item has Shipped and mine is White as well so hang in there its on the way
I've been checking my local stores 2 or 3 times a week since launch, but haven't managed to get one yet. I did find one in stock last week, but when I got to the store, the line was out the door and I didn't feel like waiting.
At this rate, it sounds like I might as well just wait for the Note 3.
----edit----
Okay, finally nabbed one tonight. 1 hr, 15 min wait though.
walk into your local ATT or Best Buy and purchase it, take it home with you same day.
Wow these things must be selling well!
I noticed when i got mine a couple weeks ago they were sold out online, and it showed most stores around here as out or limited quantity, at least with the white one, only one store around here actually said "in stock" and thats where I got it.

Already paid for it, att said it'll take three days to refund my money spent. And it's sold out in all the att stores near me.

Wish I would have thought of that before. I called att and they tried to give me the run around about everything.

Ordered mine Saturday got it today, Friday. Hang in their I am sure it will be there soon
Keep calling! That is what I did and with a few clicks on my last call (could have been coincidence but. ...) the Rep said "okay refresh your Page" and then it said something like fulfilling or something along those lines, and I got it like the next day!

well, after my third phone call to AT&T about this i was informed that the phone is NOT on backorder, the fulfillment center has my order in their system and is still processing it.
there is nothing they can do to expedite the process, they said check again on Monday and if it hasn't shipped by then call customer service yet another time.
how hard is it to package a phone and ship it off, seriously?
Walmart Wireless.com Order
I purchased my SN2 from Walmart wireless.com today for $299.99 with a $100 e-gift card and no tax. My shipping status shows awaiting inventory and before I ordered it there was a message saying it could take up to two weeks. I guess I will just wait and see what happens. From my research all of the other retailers in the area have the phone in stock or just got it in stock expect for Walmart. I am sure this is due to the $100 gift card. Anyone else order from Walmart wireless.com?
Its in stock
I just ordered on wed 28th and got on 30th. ATT overnighted for free. keep caling.
Just join the forum, I want to add you can check stock of the Note II in you area by going to att website and select the Note II, it was out of stock as of last night for my area.
Weird. I literally walked into an AT&T store yesterday and grabbed one, no wait or anything.

S4's selling like hot cakes!

I can't seem to get my hands on one yet everywhere I went today had said they were sold out already. Hopefully this phone beats the sales of every other smart phone on the market!

One thing is for certain...they are not selling like hotcakes, simply because the device is only available through customer care, online, or at a very few select corporate retail stores and the occasional Costco etc. The vast majority of none corporate stores do not have them in stock yet. The 15th...maybe...who knows for sure. Perfect example is the VERY busy T-Mobile store down the road from me (Portland, OR), does not even have the One yet, let alone the GS4. The kicker is they don't even know for sure when either phone will come to their non corporate store. A very large percentage of Tmo's base gets their phones through these 3rd party Tmo stores....and they are still in the dark. It really has been a colossal blunder of a launch for both phones.
Uncarrier is great...but they need to focus on strategy and having some sort of nationwide information network for their employees, where all Tmo branded retailers are able to give the exact same response...to someone from Portland, Maine to Portland, Oregon.
Glad I got mine through customer care with next day air... I must give Tmo credit, as that went very smoothly.
:good:
I agree. Hopefully they really sell good come the 15th

I purchased my SGIV on-line first day through t-mobile and got it the next day.. Couldn't believe how fast that was!
Not sure why your having problems ordering..

While you wait maybe get a case and (glass) screen protector too. This thing is so fragile, you don't even want to risk a minute playing hot potato with it. I've already had several close encounters, but luckily my Spigen glass and case are here. Looks great with it!
Just picked up my first Android device last night. Black S4. T-Mobile made the process pretty easy. In and out in 20 minutes. I come from a jailbroken iPhone 4, been using iPhone since the 3GS came out. Got super bored of it and hated the tiny screen. So now I'm off my family's AT&T plan and boy HSPA+ > 3G. Several people in the store were buying the S4 and they had plenty in stock.

I got lucky and ordered mine online the day they came out. It was actually a real hassle since I was a new customer and they online order bit didn't work and I ended up having to call them to finish the order and then they sent me a pre-pay SIM card instead of a post-pay SIM card which eventually had me wind up at a T-Mobile store to fix all of their mistakes. Hope you get yours soon and with less hassle than me.
yes, samsung's device getting better and better day by day, just since i9000

Surprised PDX wasn't carrying at that time, on the 8th almost all the Beaverton/Hillsboro stores were selling them. The store in Cedar Hills started selling them the night of the 7th because they just had them sitting there.
But glad you got yours timely after ordering with Customer Care.
