good authorized retailer to buy Samsung Focus off-contract

Does anyone know of a good authorized retailer to buy the Samsung Focus at? It seems as though the best I could find is AT&T for $350 off of contract. That is pretty good. Does anyone know of any others?

That's the best one, and the one I was going to recommend.

it does seem like a very good deal... if nothing else pops up by the end of the day, i'll head there to grab it

Just make sure to explain to them that it is the online price and you can't buy it online without the service agreement. It says to go to the store to buy it with no commitment pricing.
They rang mine up at $400. I explained the online price and they adjusted it.

I got mine from eBay from a store called "Gazelle" for $225. It was an open box item in mint condition - it came in retail box with everything - looked like I had just bought it from AT&T.
They have more in stock. They also have a 30 day no questions return and refund policy, pretty rare for an ebay store.
I've not had a single problem with it - applied NoDo and everything is working fine.

also a good find! this should be helpful for other's looking for a Focus at a good price.
I have to stick to an authorized reseller though, as I have a rebate that I am looking to use only valid at an authorized store

Yeah, sorry, I missed the "authorized retailer" bit. Speed reading..LOL
Still, $230 for an off contract Focus in mint condition is pretty freaking good right?

daliy steals, have you received it yet?

Mobile.dailysteals.com is selling the Samsung galaxy nexus for 559.99 + 4.99 shipping for only today, I'm thinking about picking one up as this is the best price we will probably see in months.

Order one. Hope it gets here soon.

I think i will order one too but im not sure how good the website is and how and how they would act if you need warranty work.. I might give them a call and ask.. ill edit my post later with their response!
DailySteals DOES NOT have phone support.. Now im not so sure what to do :/

Just took the plunge and ordered one from DS - I hope I don't regret it. Paid via PP, so if there's an issue - I can hopefully get my money back fairly easily.
This is the lowest price I've seen on it, and I've been watching Amazon - lowest there is $654.99 (includes shipping).
Fingers crossed that all goes well with this transaction...

Ordered one as well. Wonder what build it will come with.

They are a very legitimate website, I know people who've ordered form them they usually have some good deals
Also I think it includes a 1 year international Samsung warranty

I've bought a few things from DS and have never had a problem with them. I'm so tempted right now.

Condition: New Packaging: Retail Warranty: 1 Year International Brand: Samsung Model: Galaxy Nexus i9250. It says this under the info

Anybody have any experience with this site? Is it a legit seller? Why is it $100 cheaper than everybody else? I'm skeptic because i fear there is a catch. Too good of a deal.

International warranty does not apply to usa. Check amazon reviews of many samsung international phones to verify.
My grandma beat me down and took my nexus. Sent from a jitterbug with beats by dre.

I had a unlocked htc touch pro 2 and the international warranty worked for me when i dropped my phone in coffee. They charged me a $28 international warranty fee + shipping to chicago.
I don't see why samsung would be any different.

I read on another forum that the website is known to sell black market items and one thing that they are know for is their long shipping time.. I think they are legit but it might take time for us to receive the phone..

ive purchased from them before they usually take a week to ship out the items and they always use ups and give you a tracking number if that helps

This was pretty much the price point I've been waiting for. Ordered.
Let's just hope it doesn't need any warranty service.

I Hope it doesn't take a month to get it though...

So, if i buy this today and something better comes out at CES, how long do i have to cancel my order? I'm pretty sure it's not going to ship before CES.

I am almost sure something better will come out at CES from either HTC or Samsung but for me its not the octo core, 148 megapixel camera.. Its that this is a NEXUS phone! FTW!

need help on a price

so im looking to sell my extra nexus CDMA it is in almost perfect condition accept that best buy ruined the volume down button when they put on the a zagg screen protector
so im looking for ideas on how much i could get for it.
replacement part is only ten bucks, just dont feel like doing it my self

Well you'll get WAY more than $10 back in return for just fixing the issue yourself before selling it. Most people won't buy it broken, even if it is just a $10 fix.

GSM model has a much higher resale value. The Verizon ones have been in the mid $400's for a while.

Sorry for the OT, but 500 for a basically new GSM GN? Is that a good deal or normal? Because that seems cheaper than anyone is selling on the internet. (retail, I mean. I don't know anything about 'used')

You can find them retail around $600 shipped. I got mine for $565 with a coupon. So used in the low $500 range isn't crazy for GSM.

Motorola Atrix lapdock from At&t store.

I was browsing around the store and I asked them if they had any in stock and they said they had one, the employee went to get it and told me the price and I almost fell over, they wanted $299 for it. Then the manager approaches me and says if you buy that today I will give you 10% off.
I thought these were being sold cheaper in the stores, not that high.

Haha, that's Hilarious. I'd start laughing my ass off.

the cheap price was online only, I believe. but people were able to get it at the stores at the low price when they showed proof of online purchase.
or something like that.

I tried to hold back the laughter in front of the manager, I shook my head and said thank you if I need to purchase one of these I will more than likely be doing so online.

I'd laugh at that price too. However, still better than on the Motorola website for $499.99. Unfortunately you can't get it on the AT&T website anymore. I was fortunate to get one when they were selling them for $50. Your best bet is to go with what anothersmith did and get one from all4cellular.

I bought one in the AT&T store about 3 weeks ago. The quoted me $99, and when I asked if there was anything else he could do, the manager took 25% off, for a final price of ~75 + tax. He told me that these docks are collecting dust, and they weren't even sure if they had any to sell when I first asked.
I think if you go to another store, or hit another manager up, you should be able to get a comparable deal. Good luck!

Yeah same here. I bought my in January and it was $99, well after they ran out online. The store was even running a buy one get one half off on all the other Atrix Accessories (excluding the Lapdock unfortunately).

Handtec has it for $631 and you'll get it overnight. It'll also be a UK phone vs. Malaysian which is what Expansys has been shipping. If you're rooting and ROM'ing it won't make a difference. Also, if you need warranty repairs, you have to send your phone to Expansys who then sends it to an overseas affiliate who sends it to HTC. If you buy it in the UK your warranty is with HTC directly.

Sorry but Plemix's price is $599
anyone tried those sites before??
do you know which version do they sell??

I got mine from Amazon. Not the cheapest, however, you'll get your device overnight, the support is good, and you have 30 days time to return your Device without a reason, even if it is unlocked. If you want to get a Replacement, they send you the replacement overnight, and you can send your old phone back in the same package the new one came in. This is quite helpful if you have a one x with problems...

Plemix is legitimate, I used to get my phones from them. Their company should be located in HK, so I would guess the version should be asian. E-mail them to check, I remember them being pretty good at responding back.

have you ever tried them?

Are you asking about Negri? I placed an order with them over the weekend the one x first came out and didn't even get an acknowledgement, though my amex payment went through. When I emailed on Monday, I was told sorry nothing available and they had no idea when stock would come in. So I cancelled my payment through Amazon and got an immediate email saying oh gee they had one for me but it would cost $70 more to ship. I said no and ordered from Expansys. Have been happy with my one X since. I don't like being jerked around and won't deal with Negri again.

someone in another thread said expansys is selling the malaysian model??? i don't know. the one i received came in a box that said taiwan, indicating taiwan production and system language choices were all european. in fact, american english was not an option - so i downloaded morelocale2 to get that. there is the option to use keyboards from a larger group of languages that include asia.
i would check with expansys re model being sold, as i imagine that could change depending on what's available in the supply chain.
i should add that in another thread another uk retailer was listed. i am sorry, i can't remember the name.
