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.

50% Coupon at T-Mobile

T-Mobile has a coupon on their Facebook page for 50% off any accessories in the store http://www.facebook.com/tmobile I think I may buy the 1650 mah battery for $25.00 with the coupon. Thanks me!

Coupon
Aren't they out of the 1650mah batteries right now? Couldn't find them on the website. Also, is it confirmed that the 1650mah fits perfectly into the Vibrant? Skip that. I can probably find an answer with a search

Why can i never find anything good when there is a sale on...

The 1650 does fit just fine into the Vibrant. I'm using one now

I love how t-mo sells car chargers for $30+ and cases for 20+ when on amazon you can get them for a dollar... *not to say I would trust these at $1 but still.
Thanks for the coupon I will check it out.

too bad they don't consider phones an accessory like I do.

Serious? I have been with them since day one (my old local provider was bought up by them) and they don't do squat for me. I found out last year that I had not used an upgrade credit in 131 months and I can't even get them to waive the $200 fee for taking my wife's bastard nephew off of my family plan...

they usually wont help me out. i was looking for a powerskin case (i dont keep my phone in my pocket, like... ever.. so the issues people complain about shouldnt be a problem for me) and asked one of the local store reps why they are dickheads now about upgrades on family plans... and he hooked it up with a workaround.
scenario: my grandma is my second line. she has a dumbphone and doesnt text/data. i want to use her line to get whatever SGS2 variant comes out in august, but if i do that, i have to add data on her line, even though she wont be using the phone.
i asked the guy wtf is up with that, how it's not fair because i'm still paying the data on my line and they're getting a 2 year agreement on that line.
the loophole:
i upgrade her line to get the phone, add the data plan.
i then buy a dumbphone at full price (one of those refurbished POS phones for <$40 on her line and remove the data plan.

i bought the mhl cable with the coupon for 10.81 and tried it with my evo 3d and it did not work. Is there something i need to turn on in settings on my htc evo 3d?
my TV wasnt finding a signal in the hdmi 3 port that my phone was plugged into

I ordered "Samsung" branded items from Amazon, the low end bluetooth earbud is attrocious. The wallwart with data cable would not charge the phone. The car charger worked fine. The earbud and wallwart/cable look to have been sold a few times previously. For the hassle I'm out the shipping and could only get a refund on one of them. I've now been waiting a week on replacements. I would not pay t-mobiles prices but I will shop local for any other accessories.

Opinions on buying a nib SGS2 on ebay?

I have two questions.
I have been eyeing either this phone or the GN for a while now, and I am about ready to just shut up and grab the SGS2 already.
Looking online, the only thing that should be coming out anytime too soon is the Blaze which I am still assuming is not an upgraded SGS2 (I don't know if people are just paranoid, or ready for another Vibrant 4g situation). So it seems like I won't be kicking myself in a few months about the SGS2 (minus, MAYBE, a GN release).
So long story short.
Question 1: Have I missed evidence on why I should wait 1 or 2 months to grab a new phone?
Question 2: What would be the smartest way to get one?
Short story long again:
Ebay has new in box phones starting at 499 with shipping, but one has no returns and the other has 3 days. Will ebay/paypal protection save me if I find out there are problems with the phone outside those few days?
I hate asking this, but what problems would I want to look for? Unless they develop over time I don't want to know about the screen issues I have heard mentioned vaguely, but others seem to imply it's not a big deal so if I never notice it then it's not hurting me.
I am wanting to use Ebay because it is 100 bucks cheaper than Amazon but Tmobile would only be like 598 or something. Should I stop being so paranoid and just grab it from ebay?
Sorry, I stayed up way too late with my finger over the mouse button and I am now just about ready to start pacing but I am not getting google search results to do anything to calm or warn me yet. Is it worth the 100 bucks to buy it from Ebay instead of straight from Tmobile?
Sorry, I will stop spazzing.

Those people who have unopened boxes of galaxy s 2 are people who are eligible for an upgrade but like their current phone so they decide to make money of their contract. I recently did this.my mom didn't want a new phone so I used her upgrade to buy a new gs2 and sold out on Ebay for $500. These people are legit and Ebay will make sure you don't get scammed.you should just buy it
Question 1: Tmobile is not releasing a new amazing phone for awhile. (unless somehow the galaxy s2 HD comes over). But that is not likely at all.so there is no need to wait.unless you want to wait another year for the galaxy s3. Ice cream sandwich is just around the corner. Right now is the best time to get it.

Thanks for the response, I am just worried I get it and, say, the speaker phone is messed up and I learn about it a day or two after the return window and then I have trouble getting it fixed instead of just returning it or exchanging it.
I have never had to do that though, so 100 bucks is a lot to KNOW I can.

Seriously? You'd advocate risking getting your phone's IMEI number blacklisted to save $30?
The phones are $529 from t-mobile.
Why risk it for $30??? These "new" phones can be reported as lost then the insurance replaces it and they block the IMEI number and the sucker is out $400-$500.
BTW, Getting a "free" phone on a subsidy plan doesn't make the phone free, you're still paying for it over the 2 year term. With T-mobiles Unlimited Talk,Text, Web for $50 + buying the phone outright, over the 2 years a contract would run, you are paying out $1200+$530 for the phone so $1730. For the equivilant plan with a "free" phone you're paying $80 a month over 24 months so $1920.
So $1920 - $1730 = $190 You pay more for the phone than if you bought the phone with cash. And just looking now, you have to pony up $280 to buy the phone when you "upgrade" then a $50 rebate, so you're paying even more.
Heck, with T-mobile you can ge tthe non subsidized plan for $0 a month, pay $200 down, and finance the phone with T-mobile for $20 a month and come out ahead if you are looking for the least amount up front.
BTW, Ebay buyer protection is only good for 30 days after the sale, on day 31 the seller can report the phone "lost" and have it turned off and get their replacement.

i agree with gallaxxeess
no point saving $30 if you have a high risk of having your IMEI black listed
there's a topic about it in General

You're assuming it's claimed as insurance fraud... and with taxes it's a 100 dollar difference. I do agree there is a risk though.
Edit: so thinking about that possibility I realized its sort of dumb for me to not just call up T-Mobile and see what they say about these sort if things (knowing they'd rather I give them NY money). I am legitimately thanking you for helping me solidify my paranoia to a point.

If you wanna be happy, keep your vibrant and wait a few months. I recommend getting the GN if you have the money because it has a better screen, but if you want you could wait until ICS is offically released and then buy it.
If you have been used to the iphone screen, or any good res LCD screen, youll notice issues with the display on our GS2.

I get the phones for free by price matching at best buy.thus makes them have no mail in rebate and no monthly additional fee.

I appreciate the opinion, although I am banking on "ignorance is bliss" when it comes to higher res screens. The expandable storage and currently only over seas options of the GN are why I am just going with the SGS2, but with sprint releasing one it is making me wonder if waiting would be smart. I would be happy with whatever I get, but I am pretty sick of my poor old vibrant.

Similar situation. I just traded some BMW work for a NIB SGS2 off of craigslist. Upgrade phone he didnt want.

Just contacted CS
I asked about what they said and all they could say is "maybe...". They can't/won't verify that I purchased the phone so if the person were to claim it was stolen I would be SOL (I have read about a guy who got the seller in trouble in a similar situation with Sprint, but I don't want to go off something like that).
I guess I just have to re-budget 600 instead of 500.

why not just print the page ur phone is advertised on ? if its ebay the guy would have to setup an account every time he wantes to scam someone

Pay with paypal. If the seller claims insurance fraud Paypal will get you your money back (may take time while they investigate but they will get it). Ebay is safe to buy from with all the fraud protection especially when you pay with paypal. DON"T DO IT ON CRAIGSLIST!!!
Don't wait for the Blaze, trust me, just get the SGSII or GN.
FYI, T-Mobile doesn't make money off handsets. When will people learn this. They make money off the monthly service. They are a SERVICE company, NOT a phone manufacturer. Go ahead and ask any question you want. In fact, T-Mobile prefer you have your own phone so they don't have to subsidize you!

I bought my s2 from craigslist for $550 (white). It came brand new in a box, however headphones were missing. I have bunch of good headphones here and there so i didn't care. But the phone was in original packaging and I got within 3 days. I am happy with my purchase.
The last time i bought my galaxy 4g first series from someone advertising on craigslist, brand new phone but when i brought it home and try to use, the phone mic never worked. I called samsung and they told me to ship it to them and I received my phone back within 5 business days. They fixed it for free and even paid for overnight shipping.
I never had any issue with Samsung or Apple.
You don't wanna know my story with Dell and ATT when I ended up paying almost $2000 for a Dell Streak phone I never received.

Nexus 89.99 w/new contract, anyone got one yet?

Hey I am currently on prepaid verizon with a Droid X and I am paying 95$ a month for 450 minutes and unlimited Verizon to Verizon and unlimited data but I am wanting to get a Galaxy Nexus and finally have a 4G hotspot for my Transformer Prime. I have a 3G hotspot on my Droid X but it is just not fast enough and I am ready for a new phone.
I had looked for the cheapest place to get a Nexus and it looked like wirefly was the cheapest place to get one at 99$. Best Buys website has the Nexus for 199.99$ and I don't think Verizon was much better.
So I got on eBay to see what I could get one for and I saw Best Buy had them on eBay for 89.99$ when I clicked the link it took me to a Best Buy wireless site and applied a promotional code to my order. But I was just wondering if anyone else has bought one through Best Buys eBay store/link or whatever you want to call it.
Here is a link to eBay where I found it - https://ebay.bbymsolutions.com/detail/1124
What do you guys think? I have to pay a 400$ deposit so this looks like my best bet.

I got 2 of them from Amazon wireless. for $99 108 after tax for NYC. Easy transaction 2 day shipping and got my phones up and running in no time. I dont understand your last part where you say you need to put $400 down? what is that all about?

Verizon runs a credit check on people every time someone opens a new account and if you don't have good credit they charge a deposit and you get it back after 1 year.

Got a free Galaxy Nexus
got and email from verizon saying upgrade for free to 4G when to the verizon store
and got it for free

Well yeah, but that isn't everybody. So that shouldn't be a deciding factor unless you're in that boat.

Possible Galaxy S4 for $579.99 (no contract)

Ive been looking around for the best price before I bought the phone and I came upon costco's website, they list the retail price as $579.99 which is the lowest Ive come across. However theres a slight problem. They wont let you order it at that price, they want you to go with the $199 contract deal.
However, you may be able to price match this through best buy or another store once they get the phones in stock..

Funny - I saw that when I ordered it with contract extensive for $200. Maybe call Costco and raise a stink.
It could partially be due to them not having them yet but no excuse

If you search these forums there is a thread from 2 years ago and a costco manager says that it can be done but they almost always refuse because they make commission on the contract. Heres the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1044213&page=2 the users name is iceshark.
Anyways if that route doesnt work for you, then like I said you can try getting another store to price match costco.

so expensive now

Its preorder and not outright buy. They are also asking for a 2 year contract (which I believe they need to update their site).

htc one and galaxy s4
its so expensive, i preferred using HTC One i watched google hangout by mashable, i like the design of HTC

Unfortunately those costco wireless stores are managed by another company and could care less about loyalty to costco or pleasing their members. Yes I said "pleasing their members", you are free to LOL.

T-Mobile store is $629
Stopped in at the T-Mobile store near me today, mentioned I am prepaid and asked how much for the S4. He thought the S4 was $649, then looked it up and current price is $629 for the S4. He said they were told they would get the S4 no later than the 15th. They just got a demo S4 in this morning and I got to play around with it a bit. I was sure put off by the mock-up version of the S4 I saw at BestBuy. The real deal is much nicer in person. Anyway, he didn't give me any grief for wanting to buy prepaid and said they would switch my ginormous SIM from the mytouch out for me for free. They already received TONS of accessories for it (mostly cases). He said 3 out of the last 4 days he has been getting in S4 accessories.
I know this is an S4 thread, but since many are still trying to decide between S4 and One, the One is $579. And this weekend only you can get it for $100 off of that (via HTC rebate). Only (BIG) problem is they have no idea when they are going to get One stock in.
Hopefully this was useful info to someone.:good:

im confused? you can get the phone from Tmobile for 150 down and then pay 20 bucks on your bill for 24 months with no contract extension (you do have to promise to pay the phone off, so i guess thats the same). i know yo uend up paying 650 for it, but isnt that easier on your wallet? especially if you are a current customer or someone who cant drop 600 bucks on a new phone?

You can only do that if on the value plan or due for upgrade. I already tried :/ I'm on classic and there's a fee for switching to the value plan so just easier to buy it for Me at least

im still on the classic 1000 family talk plan, pay 30 bucks for 4.5gb of data and 20 bucks for unlimited texts, just got a new iphone 5 and S4 and paid no migration fee and my plan and services are all the same as before. although i have 5 lines and i think maybe one of them was up for an upgrade...maybe 2 so i guess thats why

Does anyone think best buy would match this price??? They have heard so over priced at $730!!

It looks cheap. You save $ 100. Very good price!

I'd wait a month or two if you can. There's gouging going on in the market because of the stock availability. Plus, first run devices (I learned this on my last few phones) almost always have some hardware issues in large quantities - waiting allows for the hardware revisions to fix these. Amazon hasn't gotten theirs yet, to my knowledge.
Not to mention once the HTC One is available widely, the two will force each other down. The fact HTC is doing a $100 MIR to bring theirs down to $479, shows that the Galaxy S4 is going to have to drop quickly to compete.
Food for thought.
