Availability at Best Buy and Radioshack?????

Has anyone been able to get a definate answers as to wether Best Buy and Radio Shack will be getting the Epic Touch 4g? If so what price did they say???

It sure doesn't seem like Radio Shack knows what's up. They didn't have a clue what phone I was referring to and told me to check back on Thursday afternoon after I said SGS2, Epic Touch, and finally Samsung Galaxy S2 Epic Touch 4G! Wow..really?

I got verification from my buddy who is a manager at RS, it will be sold there.
BestBuy isn't positive, but, the guys I spoke with there said they would be shocked if it wasn't going to be there... Will know for certain tomorrow afternoon.

I spoke to guy this morning at my local BB and he said they stock tonight and to check back with him late to see if they got any. They also finally added the touch to the radioshack website today, so I assume they will soon know whats up at my local radio shack.

I called best buy she started talking about the og epic... Smh... She said check back on monday... Im going to have to order from sprint on friday and wait until monday 8(

Its confirmed at Best Buy for Friday but price is still unknown. Was gonna be 199.99 but may be 149.99 thanks to walmart

I've heard confirmation of BB Friday morning at open, should be the regular $199.99 price with contract that is being advertised. From my experience, BB hasn't dropped prices until pretty much everybody else has, but I guess it's never too late to change

They will price match though!

Really?? Do you think they'll actually do that since the price being advertised from Wally World & Wirefly were for pre-orders? Wouldn't be a pre-order if we picked it up after release at BB...I have a feeling (being a former employee of theirs) that they won't budge a nickel.
That's just my feeling though, anyone feel differently?

Im actually hoping that the 149.99 walmart price will hold through to the brick and mortar stores. Then with a little luck you can persuade best buy to match. Otherwise 199.99, but Im not sweating it too much. Im going to either sell or trade my evo, which should help me out quite a bit. Then with having to carry a phone for work they will kick in some monies for a new device every year. I just have to find someone to have one in stock on launch. I just got off the phone with my sprint store, which is a sprint store by wireless paradise, and the said that they are backordered bad. He then proceeded to tell me Sammy didnt make enough and that Im going to quite lucky to get one on launch.... I will be the worlds saddest panda if I dont get one of these. I havent been this hyped about a device since lite brite.

Employees cant buy them till next month unless your doing a straight up contract like a normal customer. But we just looked in RSS (inventory) and it looks like 5 per store. My buddy watched them unload and from the truck to the cabinet 5 was it.
BTW, 199.99 You may get your store to price match walmarts 149 but its gonna depend if the manager will honor it. I like my 2nd job so Im not pushing the issue.

That's the Best Buy price, I imagine it will be $699 for the 32gb from Verizon. I kinda wish I waited although I'll be gone for over a month.

I have no doubt it's the 32GB version. I don't think it will cost that much on Verizon though. However I was willing to pay close to that for shipping it overnight from Espansys so, I would pay it for a 32GB model.

I see.. I wish they would hurry up and release the 32GB sim-free version so I can order it! Probably going to take months to arrive here and like they did for the SGS they will "arabize" it for the middle east which I hate (the arabization, not the middle-east )

Best Buy's off contract Verizon phones are usually quite expensive. That $799 price is being inflated by Best Buy. Anyone thats going to buy this phone off contract should just get it from Verizon, probably a bit cheaper.

Doesn't BB price match though? If so you should technically be able to get it for whatever Verizon sells it for off contract.

I have no inside knowledge, but my hunch is that VzW's off-contract price will be about $650. And I wouldn't be surprised if Amazon sells it at a subsidized price of $150 before the end of this year.

they never price match carrier out the door pricing. neither does walmart. i tried with other phones..lol

Hopefully amazon will have a lower price. Also costco is usually cheaper or they throw in accessories. We got my wife's stratosphere for $30 with accessories vs $150 at Verizon. They had the razr for $289 with a dock and car kit.

possible removal of discounts for friends?

I just noticed this... has anyone else noticed this? I personally don't work there but a friend does but if sprint will remove it. Their 3G isn't worth it and ill move over to t-mobile prepaid ;D

Really? still getting your discount? I hope sprint isn't trying to find an excuse to get shafted by costumers that are post paid.. they aren't exactly the greatest in my area ;p
btw found this on another forum by corys00
"Since the end of July any time a line is upgraded on an account with a discount the account must be re verified for the discount. They are cracking down on former employees still taking advantage of discounts they are no longer entitled to. "

Thats only to prevent former employees and their friends from remaining on employee discounts. As long as the main account holder is still an employee you still get your discount. If they have left or been terminated, well they and their friends don't deserve the discount, so the plan will be switched to an appropriate regular customer account. As long as you aren't trying to get an employee family and friends discount and there's no employee on the account you have nothing to worry about.

They will either contact him directly or check employment records to verify current employment I doubt they will contact you directly, just the employee whose account/employee discount its under

I'm on my own plan but under my dad's business discount and they always just call him to verify my eligibility so with and employee I'm sure they'd either call the employee or just check the records to verify they are still employed with them, they are just trying to prevent former employees and their friends and family from using the employee discount when they no longer work there and aren't eligible any more, which technically constitutes fraud anyways since they are obtaining discounted services by fraudulent means

I saw that notice as well and I am on of the people who will be affected by this. This is BS, if you signed up for a friends a family discount many many years ago and no verification was required then, and who knows where that friend is now, why should I lose it? I don't even remember the persons last name it was so long ago.
They have taken away every single benefit that I have had for ten years or more, if I have to pay more for Sprint I am gone. Unlimited is great, no doubt, but I doubt they will stay unlimited once LTE is rolled out.

If you do not work for a company that is eligible for the discount and you are using someone else's discount you do not deserve it. If you want employee prices, then have your friend or family that does have a discount add a line for you.
Just because you know someone who is eligible does not mean you can use their discount on your account.

Well when I signed up my friend provided me with the info/link to sign up and it was no problem then, and it CLEARLY said friends and family on the sign up page. It was so long ago I don't even remember the name of the company.

I know people who work for Sprint, did I use their discount? No. I paid full price just like the majority of Sprint customers.
Yeah it sucks that you're losing the discount that you were never entitled to but quit crying. If it's really so bad go pay full price with another provider. Either way you will be paying full price.

Sam’s Club Black Friday Ad Lists Galaxy S3 for $0.96

http://www.droid-life.com/2012/11/07/sams-club-black-friday-ad-lists-galaxy-s3-for-0-96/
Sam’s Club is now the owner of the “Best Black Friday Deal Award” for the time being. According to their Black Friday ad, they plan to sell the Samsung Galaxy S3 for 96 cents ($0.96) the day after Thanksgiving. Yes, if you are a part of the club, you can pick up the hottest phone of the year for less than a dollar, as long as you are down to sign a new 2-year contract. Talk about a steal.
They will also have the Galaxy Tab 2 7″ and 10″ tablets for $179 and $299, respectively.

Lol good luck grabbing a phone! they will only have a certain amount in stock to sell for a freaking dollar!!
You cant beat best buys deal right now $99.00 with a new contract!! :thumbup:

I've worked for Sam's Club over 9 years.. Most stores will have more than enough.. Last year most of our .96 cent phones lasted a few hours.. Plus your biggest lines will be at walmart and other retailers.. I say if you want a sg3 for .96 cent.. You have a big chance in getting one on black friday..

I know a few people who will be out there lol. Luckily I picked mine up on launch... 1st person to own an S3 in my area

I want to get one for my wife but our upgrade doesn't kick in until Dec 1. Any chance they would waive the early termination fee for 8 days?
If not then paying $50 for a GS3 is still an awesome deal once I add the ETF.

Refurbs?
I stopped by the the Sprint kiosk at my local mall today. The price for the S3 upgrade was $199.00. So I told the salesman about some of the Black Friday prices and the fact that Walmart had it for $149.00 a few weeks back. His response was that the phones at Walmart and Bestbuy were refurbs. I don't think that's the case, but how about it? Does anybody know if these vendors are actually offering refurbished units?

I think The 96¢ deal at Sams Club will probally be just for new contracts. I say that because if you check the Sams Club web site now they do have 2 different prices for the S3 depending on whether its a new contract vs. being eligible for an upgrade on an existing contract. Currently it's 99.99 vs 149.99 respectively. So my guess is that if they are offering 2 tier pricing now (actually 3 tier since you can also pay full price with no contract), the 96¢ price is likey the lowest and I wonder what the price will be for an upgrade. Still 49.00 or 99.00 is a good deal seeing as I paid 199.99 each for 2 S3's a few months ago. Iv've got a third number on my account and its eligible for an upgrade.

About that Sams ads is bad news for me becuase here in Puerto Rico Sams only sells AT&T and T Mobile phones.

I'm guessing price matching from other stores wouldn't be an option with this ad because it's a 'club' store.
I could see a Best Buy sales manager having a stroke when they see 50 GS3s being sold for $47 less than what BB will be offering on black friday. :laugh:

I saw the note 2 on walmart.com for $139.99

But this is for new customers only...
My contract has been up since october but I'm under my uncles account, so would I be able to create an account and just port my number over?
Also, I believe Best Buy will pricematch anything on walmart.com till the 31st...so people who really will sign up for the first time, I believe this will be the cheapest route..I've never seen it so low lol
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda app-developers app

when exactly did you see this and what zip code did you use? When I do a search theydont show the price. Meaning if Best Buy cant confirm the price its a no go. Ironically they show prices on other phones but when I use my zip it shows no available which means I need a zip code that shows a state that has them... Mine is in transit from BB after returning it back to Sprint Store for $50 less at Best But THEN of couse I see this. Not too late though since I havent even received it yet

Got a kick out of that. Told me the same thing - heck, even the order confirmation told me it would be end of January. Got them about a week later (on Christmas eve)

This is what I like to hear.

Is this the best deal I'm going to find for a renewal? The only thing that bothers me is that it's a 1-2 week wait on Amazon.

I wouldn't worry about the shipping time for Amazon. I just switched from Verizon to Sprint because of this Amazon deal for $99 and it originally said 1-2 week wait. On Dec 27 looked at my account and it said that it wouldn't ship until Feb 4th, the next day I received an email stating it was shipped and was here 2 days later.
I'm so glad I got this phone for $99, makes the sting of not having 4G any more better since this phone is fast as hell. Now I just need to sell my VZW Nexus.

Best buy denied me! No online only price match.

They can't deny online price, they can only deny the new price for a renewal. I would go back and if they still say no talk to the store manager and if still nothing then call the 1800 number. The online price match is a best buy policy that may be extended for the rest of the year. My local store said if they take it away they will still honor it. Good luck and don't just let them do whatever they want. Fight for it.
Sent from my Amazing Galaxy Note 2!

I would buy it from walmart.com, especially if you live in a state like my state (CA) that charges prices on the full retail amount of the phone before discounts. a phone like the Note 2 is easilly a $50+ tax, but on walmart.com, they don't charge tax so it's $139 out the door. I bought mine last month when it was $199 ($299-$100 walmart gift card) and was charged no tax on the phone.
