Price drop!

'allo fellow xda heads. i'm not sure of the specifics on it but at the mall they are selling this phone for a mere 149.99 just thought id let you guys know

meh.
I took the day off of work. That day would have been overtime. Plus I put $50 on a giftcard at sprint just in case my BestBuy connection didn't pan out.
All-in-all it cost me $350 or so for a $700 phone that I paid (-$150) for at BestBuy.
$50 really doesn't phase me.

i bought at retail, I wonder did the retail price drop to 449

I got mine via wirefly. Was on sale for $149, and used Bank of America's Add It Up rewards program to get another $50 off. $99 for this phone, I can live with

At letstalk you could have this phone for as low as 79.99

I got mine preordered at wirefly on sept. 7th for 124.99 with overnight shipping. Walmart selling them for 99.99 with new contracts. BOA discounts at wirefly get them for under a hundred. Because Sprint allowed this phone to go into a third party retailers frenzy with now premier or general preorders, we've seen intense pricing competition weeks before it's official release, yet alone now.

Sams club it was $193 out the door including CA sales tax. They found a loophole so they didnt charge tax on the whole phone price, just the subsidized price.

In reality GN cost me just £218 I made some money buying/selling iPhones and bought myself iPhone 4 which I`m selling tomorrow for £300 And because I bought GN on credit card, these 218 will be spread over 12 months, so, won`t feel cost.

I got mine on contract with Three from a Threestore in Preston. £40 a month with a free phone on the one plan (2000mins, 5000 text, 5000 three to three mins, unlimited internet). Just to add as well, the phone is unbranded and unlocked for any network. The only network related app i have is the Three app (downloaded myself but very useful).
I looked in to buying the phone and going on a sim only contract as this sometimes works out cheaper but for me it's simply not the case.
Contract
Phone FREE
Monthy £40
Over 24 months £960
Sim only
Phone £499.99
Monthly £25
Over 24 months (for comparison) £1099.99

Due to the 30 day price guarantee I recieved $50 back no questions asked (show reciept of course).
Big thanks to OP for putting $50 back in my pocket. I probably would have not seen the one day price until too late otherwise.

Makes me want to open another account so I can get one for my daughter. Her Birthday was yesterday. She probably would be the only 6 year old with an S3 lol.

Just a FYI i saw a ad leak for sprint stores selling gs3 at 50 bucks on contract only on black friday
http://www.engadget.com/2012/09/27/sprint-black-friday-ad-galaxy-s-iii-sale/

Picked one up for the wife today. Im not camping out at the Sprint store on BF. They will probably only have 10 in stock and the store will be a mess.

Thanks to the Best Buy buyback plan, I just swapped my son's 4g touch for a GS3 and walked out with a $180 BB GC. I do believe that's going toward a Transformer Infinity..

was worth an hour of my time!
I got into BB 1 minute before closing last night... felt bad about making them stay long, but not TOO bad (since there were about 10 other people still getting their new GS3's!)... big step up from my old Epic. I agree with the other folks here... I hate black Friday shopping... I'd about rather gnaw off a limb than do that...

picked up mine on Sunday for $38.86 after my $50 phone freedom discount and a $20 gift card. I think its kinda dumb they taxed me on the $99.99 price.
Also, not sure for how long but if you get a phone at Best Buy, you'll be automatically upgraded to Silver Rewards Membership.

Wow now that's cheap

I have a question. I went into Best Buy on Tuesday (the 16th) and paid $199. Is there any way for me to benefit from this deal, or did I just miss my chance?

Yea, Sprint is the cheapest you will find it in store. I bought a sealed one off eBay for $600, plus no tax.

I have a hard time believing Amazon isnt going to drop price this phone over the next few weeks. Last year i got 4 E4GT's - 1 for $79 and 3 for $0.01. I dont expect the GN2 to be $0.01 but where does it say this phone will be price locked ? Anybody have any proof ? I cant imagine it staying at $299 for too long on Amazon no matter what during this holiday season. Bought 1 for $79 the week of thanksgiving and then the week after all the phones went for $0.01 until Dec 19th or 25th whereabouts. This high price is killing me. Trying to hold off...

Best evidence I know of is the arbitrary upgrade pricing release date of 1/1/2013 long after seasonal sales. $299 is only for new contracts as of now.

I think best buy price matches sprint off contract price though.

Well I went to sprint and the phone is actually 700 because of an off contract purchase fee. I left because that's bull. So their actual price is a lie. So after tax its 740. So I will find one on Craigslist hopefully sooner than later. The only plus is no activation fee on off contract phones

Ive seen them for around 650 sometimes less on ebay. or you might try best buy to see if they will price match sprints 650. they did that for one person on here.

Did you guy's see that the Galaxy S3 is free on TMO this weekend? The Note 2 is $199.99 right now. However these prices are with special mail in rebates. Some on SprintUsers posted this screen shot. Seems like some awesome mail in credits. $49.99?

This is the dead best. Throw in their warranty and you never have to worry about bricking it either..
But what do you mean that you got a $100 "refund?" I got mine for 175... how do I get a refund also...
Actually, the absolute best deal if you don't care about the warranty is Walmart online. I don't know if they are still offering it, but they had it for $250 online with a $100 dollar walmart gift card. That is the cheapest that I gave seen it. Hands down.
So 175 or 150.

Another data point: I bought mine from Best Buy about 2.5 weeks ago for $240 (2 yr contract). Went in yesterday and they credited me the difference to match Amazon's $199.

I am sure a lot of people know this and have read the terms and conditions during checkout...watch out for the ETF fees for both the distributor and carrier...I believe Amazon Wireless charges $200 on top of ATT $325 and Walmart Wireless charges $400 ETF on top of ATT $325 ETF. If one calculates out the discounted price with the double wammy ETFs...the total cost to buy out the Note II comes out to be a little more than purchasing from ATT or Negri.
I think Negri Electronics has the best deal right now...but they are still out of stock. Most 3rd party distributors have a delay in shipping the i317 right now.

Assuming you guys dont know how to read because OP is looking for Note 2 WITHOUT CONTRACT.

Looking for Rogers version. Looks like they changed it from att to 317m unlocked version. Which gets 3g/4g/LTE on ATT.
