You're gonna love this as Zune Pass was the main reason I even considered WP7.

agreed. Been waiting for it. I've even got a ZuneHD. Lol im looking forward to the dam artist backgrounds etc on my WP7. My Zune does it and its nice eye candy. I imagine I'll subscribe and try it out. I use my phone for Bluetooth music in my car and at work.
In addition to that, if you don't have it by that date, the price will be only $9.99 and you won't get any 10 free tracks every month.
Good and Bad.

yeah I see that...the free tracks would've been nice but at least the neighbours up north are finally getting it. Long time coming.

Actually, that's great for people who don't want to spend the extra five, although I do. Considering Spotify, Zune needed a cheaper option. Wonder if they could do a streaming only option for free?
Great, now I can use my real Windows Live ID, unfortunately I bought a bunch of games on this US based account.
But this problem with messenger integrated to your primary ID is total bullcrap.
My mind is spinning to decide what the hell to do.

It's a worse deal. They're basically giving you $9.99 to spend however you want every month with the current pricing structure, so you only pay a net $4.99 per month for Zune Pass. With the change, it's a worse deal - through and through.
There's no reason to now pay an extra $5 per month for $10 worth of tracks. Any Chimp can see this.
If you cannot afford that, then you can't afford to have a smartphone with a data plan, either, IMO

Use one ID and stop tying purchases to one account while trying to use another for this and that. You can always use a different IM application and/or service if you wish to be incognito.
Having this use this account and that using that account can be confusing for users, since apparently the context sensitive search button was removed due to "confusion."
I just received an email that the same plan will be forced on new users in America as well. No more 10 song downloads for new subscribers. Existing subscribers may keep the $14.99 plan as long as your subscription is maintained.
This change also takes effect on Oct 3rd.

Yeah, that's the only solution if I want messenger integration. I picked up all the XBL games when they were deals of the week, so that kinda sucks. Achievements will all be gone now too.
It's not confusing, it's more of a thing that pissses me off. The current Live Messenger app is horrible and would rather use the integrated one, along with being organized once and for all.
Yeah, the search button change pissed me off as well. Was so much faster when searching for emails and contacts. Should've made it "hold for 2 seconds to get bing"

Just wanna give a big thanks on the deal....just upgraded my g2 to the s2 like 3 days ago so went with website....very happy this early in the am.....will see how it works as I have my own energy consulting giddiness..hopefully another usefully tool ...thanks again all who posted.
It's pretty neat. Free, they only charge u like 2.75% per swipe or something like that. Can have the customer sign on the spot and have the receipt emailed/text to them
Didn't know its always been free, just saw that t mobile was giving them away so I posted...

They charge $10 so some kid doesn't come in and clear them off the shelf... when you get home and create your account, they issue you a $10 credit to your balance... = free. There is no "minimum monthly" anything, that's the point... its a by swipe percentage and that's all. IV used square since they first started with my business... great!!! They directly deposit right into my bank account. Very very nice.

Thanks for the post. Will be starting my own business soon and this hits the spot dead on.
Just ordered one last night myself. Not sure what I'm going to use it for at the moment but considering I just found out I'm being laid off at the end of the month maybe I can get creative and find some sort of legitimate at home business or something

This is so cool! I do freelance computer/game console repair & now I'll be able to take cards
I ordered a bluetooth headset, TPU case, stand with extra battery, and some textiles on Nov 28th using the 50% off code. I got the shipping notification on the 29th. On December 6th I called into Samsung because UPS shows they never received the package. They submitted a lost package tracer that same day with UPS. It's now the 12th and still nothing. I called Samsung back and they said they did not get anything back from UPS yet and that she would talk to the manager when he/she is in. Of course they hope to get back to me by the end of the week... I've waited 14 days for my order to get here and the end isn't in site yet. My patience is starting to wane.
In the mean time is anyone else experiencing shipping issues with their orders?
be patient, sometimes this stuff happens. I know it sucks. This is one reason I do not like to order online. I enjoy being able to go into a store to find what I want and walk out with it.
Good luck.:good:
I feel your pain, but at least you were able to order the pieces you wanted. Everything I want is backordered and I can't place the order with my coupon until/unless they are in stock.
My order took forever too, give it some time.

Unfortunately a couple items are still on back order but I decided to order what I could anyways and hope that the coupon is not a one time use since it allows up to 10 items.
I ordered from Samsung using the 50% off and they took my order on a wednesday at 5:00pm and I had it Monday at 8:00am (would of been here Saturday but UPS doesn't do residential on Saturdays..*****es:silly
Anyways I had a great experience with them and plan on placing another order within the next week. There is another thread on here somewhere and a TON of members placed several orders and all did fine. I think you just unfortunately were part of a F' up. It's how Samsung handles it from here that determines it.
Got a call from UPS today researching the issue. As far as they are concerned I never got the package and they never shipped it. They are contacting Samsung about it.
so where are you guys getting this 50 percent off code i keep hearing so much about?
I just ordered the Smart Dock (yep they are in stock now) and the Desktop dock (with audio out) and the coupon code worked for my second order (yay!). I'll have to laugh if this order gets here before my order I submitted last month.

If you register your Note II with samsung they will send you an email with a 50% off code. Also you can check out this thread as a bunch have shared the codes that were sent to them: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957986
Argh! Samsung finally gave me a resolution. They cancelled the order and refunded my money. I was wondering why they didn't just ship it out. Then I went back in to order the stuff that got cancelled and the Black TPU case was on back order... reason found. To bad they didn't decide this earlier in the day so I could of had everything sent in one order instead of two. Oh well hopefully I'll at least get the orders this time.
FREE UNTIL 9/26/2013
From now through Sept. 26, you have the opportunity to score an extra 10GB of Google Drive space, no extra charge.
The requirement: Install the new Quickoffice app for Android or iOS--which, incidentally, is also now free. Then sign into your Google account via that app. Presto! You get another 10GB of gratis storage.
Google recently purchased Quickoffice, and the fruits of their labor have finally bloomed. The app is now being offered for free for both Android and iOS, so you can do your document creation and editing without paying a cent.
Best of all, if you download the app, you can get 10 extra gigabytes of Google Drive storage for free! Sign in with your Google account in the app by September 26 and you’ll receive that 10GB for two years. Don’t expect to see it immediately; Google says it’ll be added to your account in the next few weeks.

Enjoy....

Well, it is not free UNTIL 26.9.13, it is free without restriction, only that extra 10GB you can claim until 26.9.13. Also "recently" is very inaccurate, Google bought it more than 1 year ago.

Huh? You lost me buddy!
It's free to download in the play STORE!! FYI
And to your "recently" quote! They may have bought it a year ago. But it's now being announced that's it's available for free until the 26 of Sept. But the Sept 26 date is for the extra 10 gigs of space you GET.

No, I did not lost you, buddy. Let see:
"FREE UNTIL 9/26/2013" ... definitely not true, it will be free without restriction, that means also AFTER that date.
"Google recently purchased Quickoffice,..." ... also not true, at least I think "recently" should be maybe couple of months max, not more than a year in this case. In this case is June 2012.
from your last post "But it's now being announced that's it's available for free until the 26 of Sept." ... also not true, it will be free without restriction (as I already told).
You are only right about that until 26.9 you should get free space.
Also, I see what did you probably mean with "FREE UNTIL 9/26/2013" now, you were talking about that free space. But from the context of subject of this topic it was not clear.
But nevermind, Happy QuickOfficing for everybody.

3 businessman go into a hotel to rent a room
The room is $30
each man puts in $10
After the men go to the room
the clerk realize he's over charge them by $5
He calls over the bellhop and give him the $5 to return to the men
On the way to the room the bellhop realize he can split the $5 evenly among the three men
So he puts $2 in his pocket and gives the three men back $1 each
So the men have now spent $9 each
3 times 9 = $27
the bellhop has $2
Which comes to $29
where is the 30th Dollar?
Sent from the "DOG" pound
They couldnt have spent 9 each because they were overcharged by 5 dollars so two of them really spent 12 and one of them 11 that makes 35. So when they got back the dollar they really had spend 11 and of them 10 and the clerk got his 2. That's what I can think.

Ok, this is actually very easy. The problem of this problem is that you have 2 independent counters (one for paying and one for the change) which you have mixed up and that's why you get different values for the equation (one starts form 1 and ends at 30 and the other starts form 29 and ends at 0) (look at them like vectors). So you should count like this: They pay 10 each = 30, but they should've payed 25. Ok, assume they have payed 25 and receved 3$ for the return, now they have 28 + 2.
The main thing is to realize that you have 2 vectors instead of one.
Or if you are more into C/C++ another way you can look at them is like a vector and it's index numbers. The vector starts from 1 and the index from 0.
Another good example of this would be if you count the fingers of one hand without counting the last one twice. You'll end up with the number 9 instead of 10.

I have, you asked where the 30th $ went. I told you, it hadn't gone anywhere, you are just watching two different vectors... That's all I'm saying. Everything else is just for clarification. Obviously I've failed at that, but the ground assumption is correct, right? (having two vectors)
Aliens.....
Those damn aliens stole the dollar...
Or the the feds caught the poor bellboy on his way to the room and made him pay taxes on the 5$.
He is currently serving 5 to 10 for tax evasion.
