Sandisk 32gb Card on sale now at verizon

Yeah i know the evo is not Verizon, but they got exclusive rights at this point to sell them, and they have them on sale for 99.00! Best deal i have found so far, and obviously authentic unlike the ones on ebay. Normal price on them is 149.99, so i dont know how long they will be on sale. Supposidly some people buying the droid x's have been getting them for 50.00, but when i asked them, i didnt get any further discount other than sale price

If your not geting the droid x, you cannot get the 32gb micro sd card for $100 in the store. But you can get the 32gb micro sd card online only without the droid x for $100.
Ordered mine 2 hours ago. Overnight shipping free.
Sent from my HTC EVO

That is untrue, it is onsale in stores as well. picked mine up about 2 hours ago for 99

im assuming this is a class 2 card right?

yes class 2

I actually bought one of these yesterday, and my wife is about to freaking kill me. Anyone want it? 100 bucks and its yours. PM me for my paypal info. Verizon said its a special item and they dont do returns. Erg.

It is 32 gb. The item name, description, and sandisk item number all point to 32 gb. If the arrived unit is a 16 gb, just return easily with the invoice/email/whatever. There are no pictures on the conformation or shipping invoice anyways.

I wouldnt have ordered one if the sandisk part number refered to a 16gb card. Everything seems legit and good so far!

[Q] Cheapest place to get Galaxy Nexus for someone in US?

For someone in the United States trying to get the HSPA version of the Galaxy Nexus, where would be it be the cheapest to buy from (after tax, shipping, VAT, etc)?
I've been trying to get my hands on the GNexus, but paying 750+ USD just doesn't seem worth it (even if it won't come out in the US for a month or two if at all). Can we compile a list to compare the prices of all the retailers (online preferably) that are selling the phone?

That's still a bit pricey... about one hundred more than what I am willing to pay (I got both the Nexus One and Nexus S for <$600). Is that the cheapest price anywhere?
Does it come with a warranty or insurance?

Unless they start selling them in the US directly at retailers, you won't find one for under $600 any time soon. Right now Handtec is the cheapest at just under $700 as others have said. When calculating your price keep in mind that some credit card companies charge a foreign transaction fee of around 2%-3%.

That's it! I'm sleeping under a rock! Someone wake me up when the Galaxy Nexus is under $600! I have nothing else to live for! :'(

ok, got it... £450 is a pretty reasonable price to me, since i'm gonna be in the usa next week i'm thinking to buy it, so i'm wondering if i'll need to pay any import duty...

Youre also paying the premium of it being imported and the satisfaction of having it early. Its not a high rollers club thing. Its just reality at the moment. The more my atrix rebooted the more i want to throw this phone out the window even though its a nice and capable phone. My nexus hopefully will be here by friday. Oh yes it will be mine.
Sent from my samsung gt i9250 which is in the wrong country.

They come out in Canada on the 8th so there should be more of them out there so the price should (theoretically) go down

No. Probably still looking at $700usd with all the fees, shipping and taxes. Some of us thought about that but the savings are marginal.
Sent from my samsung gt i9250 which is in the wrong country.

Here is how to get the Samsung Galaxy Nexus for up to as little as $465 in the US:
1. Sign-up for MrRebates.com to get 2% cash back from Expansys-USA.
2. The phone on Expansys USA is $750, but you can use the discount code 20OFFLS to knock the price to $730. (It has to be a US seller in order for you to be able to use step 3.)
2. Since you use MrRebates.com, you get 2% cash back, which brings the effetive price down $715.
3. You can use the Price Protection feature of your credit card to get price drops of up to $250 reimbursed, but only if the transaction was in US Dollars. So if, within 60 days, you see the phone advertised in the US for less than $730, the credit card will give you the difference.
4. This might reduce your total damage to $465.
We may not see a full $250, but I venture to say that a $100 price drop is virtually guaranteed.
Other have mentioned to use BigCrumbs.com instead for 4% cash-back. Their reviews are not quite as good as those of MrRebates.com though.

Interesting about the price protection... i never knew that. I did some quick googles on it, and it seems most credit cards don't have it anymore, or the restrictions make it useless.

Your "total damage" will only be as low as the cheaper one you could get in the US. And since the phone will never be sold for $465 unlocked in the US, you'll never get a full $250 back. Like you said, a more reasonable price we'll see for the US unlocked version is about $600.

For example this one: http://www.capitalone.com/cash.

ebates.com has 6% cash back from expansys-usa again today so i ordered mine for $750 - $20 coupon - 6% ebates cash back - 1% credit card cash back = $678.9 in the end (hopefully). oh and if you're a new ebates.com user you get a $5 cash back bonus.

Thanks for all of the tips everyone. I think I may pull the trigger today and get the Galaxy Nexus from Expansys.

[Q] Buying the glide from AT&T store without contract

Is it possible? i have a friend that should be int the sates on October and i want him to buy it from the AT&T store, but can he buy it without any contract or a sim card?
if not is there any other way? i don't want to buy it directly and ship it to my country cos the taxes here will make the purchase unjustified (will add more the 125$ not including the shipment).

Yes, you can buy any phone that AT&T sales in stores without a contact.....except the iPhone. Currently the off contract of the Captivate Glide is $500 though from AT&T
If I helped you, please press the Thanks button

Or via amazonwireless.com
(ps. I hit thanks by accident on your message and i don't know how to remove it!)

I bought mine from Amazon Wireless, as phone only (phone upgrade), $ 399, and then unlock with an on-line service ($ 25).

the problem wit amazonwireless for me is that i need to have a US adress, there is a service for that but the charge an arm and a leg.
plus the taxes to import the phone makes it unwise to buy it online. i need to cheack with the customs again, maybe (if buddha will premit) there wont be import taxes on this phone (VAT will probley will be but its low amount).

I live in Europe and went to US in March and a tried to buy this phone in a AT&T Store and it was not possible. Even to buy the phone without contract they require a contract plan. I did buy the phone thru ebay later. I would suggest you the same if you have access to US address.

Do you mind telling us how much you paid without shipping then how much was shipping. Just to give others an idea on what they can get via eBay?

The phone itself has cost $389,99 and international USPS Express shipping was $44,99. This was quite cheap compared to the $600 (+ shipping) on Amazonwireless back then.
Btw. If any German is interested in the taxes I had to pay: It was about 63€ (~19%)

now days the glide cost 400 dollors via amazonwireless and the shiping in the staes is free.
i think i got lucky cos i have a friend that is gona visit is family in the states sooner then expected and he agreed that i will ship this to his family house, and he will bring it to me when he come back. so i can get away from shiping and taxes via customes.

yeah ebay its the only place to buy a phone anymore, altho some pawnshops will cut good deals. seems 300 for a new or refurbished phone on ebay is the going rate & most folks dont mind shipping outa country.

helpslip is there a problem buying from amazonwireless if i ship it in the US?
i can arrange a frined living there to get my package, dont know if he have AT&T service and actualy don't care only want the phone with no contract.

i wouldnt think so altho i have zero 1st hand experience w/ amazonwireless, if its ran the same way as amazon your purchasing from an independent seller sometimes just a dood w/ a garage no different than ebay & ebay now has 30 day buyer protection so they refund price & shipping (& return shipping if needed) if something doesnt arrive or doesnt work etc... ive even been refunded after more than a year for an item that didnt arrive from australia (to usa) altho i keep in contact w/ seller through ebay so they could verify a problem.
damn i sound like a shill for ebay sorry.

now i got confused. i saw that i can buy from amazon wireless an locked phonw with or without a contract and also from amazon.com itself that its seems sells from independet seller (like the market). whoshould i choose? at least i have some time to think about it cos my firned will be in the states in a month from now.

I bought from Amazon Wireless, which is Amazon direct. They will sell you a locked phone without contract.
When I bought it, it used to be wrongly labled as "unlocked" I contacted them and they offered a full refund. Since I'm in the UAE I didn't want that, just an unlock code, to which they said they can't help me with that. So I ended up unlocking from AmericanUnlocker.
I prefer to buy direct, in this case it would be Amazon Wireless, that'll help with returns.

thank incidentflux you made my choice clearer. i will buy it from amazon wireless direct. also the delivery is free and will take 2-3 days to my friend's door.
unfourtuntly it will take a while until i will get it, hope ics will be out by then and if not the inc3ption rom will be a great choise

Glad to help. Yes shipping is free as well. But the smartphone will still be locked to AT&T by the way, which is an inconvenience.
I also ordered the SanDisk 64GB MicroSDXC

Moto 360 for $100 + tax at RadioShack

So I read on reddit about Moto 360 being $100 at RadioShack due to them going out of business and I called my local store and luckily they had one in stock. They won't tell you the price on phone, you have to go in and then they will punch in the 60% discount code which brings it down to $100 + tax. This is a great deal thought I let folks here at XDA know.

4) RUN THERE! lol
Profit = 100.00+ tax

I can confirm this in NC
I went to a Radioshack in Roxboro, NC that is closing soon and saw they have about 4 moto 360s for $100 a pop. I bought 2. Went to 3 Radioshacks in Durham, NC and two weren't closing just yet, the 3rd was but unfortunately pretty much only had cables and other crap left. Apparently they packed up all the quality stuff right before.

I tried a bunch and can't find any

I doubt anyone who got it for 100$ would even sell you for the same price,when they can put it on ebay for 200$.

I doubt it. The whole point of these steep discounts is to clear inventory for that particular store. So there would be no point to ship it to a store where they're trying to clear all the existing stock.

Nothing available in the Seattle area, it looks like.

Not just for the watch
The ones closing in my area were knocking prices off everything 80% I dropped like 3k on all kinds off and have made my money back on selling it and am keeping the things I want. I got a note 4 edge store demo in mint condition for 130 bucks lol and I sold it for 500 because I like my mate 7 better and they even sim unlocked it for me.

Maybe I should have bought one

Did anyone order from Best buy and checkout show a $200 BB gift card included ?

Did anyone order from Best buy and checkout show a $200 BB gift card included ? The best buy web site shows you get a $100 best buy E - gift card with purchase of pixel or xl. Well when I ordered my black xl with payment plan on a new account the offers came up on checkout one was a $200 gift card and the 2nd option was the $100 gift card. The $200 gift card option listed something about available until 11-13-16 I believe. Any way I picked the $200 gift card I just hope that is what I get just because their web site only lists the $100 e gift at the main purchase pages. Unless the $200 one is a verizon one ?
Any way I ordered the black xl 32 gig model. I wanted 128 gig but bb does not sell the 128 gig. Another odd thing is during checkout verizon required me to port in a number from another carrier ? Maybe that is part of the $200 gift card. Guess I should have taken a screen shot of those offers for my proof so I for sure get the $200 gift card and not the $100 e gift card which is a bb one.
Also odd thing they showed the black xl 32 gig in stock at local best buy stores where the ship options showed 11-2-16 for 2 day shipping and 11-7-16 for free shipping those being expected delivery dates, so they estimated mine for pick up today being ordered today, where verizons web site lists them as being back ordered until 11-9-16 but this bb deal is better with the gift card plus a free chromecast.
So if anyone wanting a good buy check out best buy and chime in if you got a $100 or $200 gift card coming and if you can tell if your gc is a bb or verizon one ? The $200 one listed verizon promotion so hope the $200 is a verizon one and I will add it to my verizon bills lol.

This cool be why you seen the additional 200 applied. Their giving 100 GC for any Verizon phone purchased on device payments...

The $200 gift card is for a new line of Verizon service at Best Buy. It's been going on for a couple weeks. I bought an iPhone 7 in store last week and received it at the time of the purchase. The gift card is for Best Buy, and I was able to use part of it to pay for tax on the phone. The following terms indicate the gift card will be delivered after an online purchase. The $100 would also be a Best Buy gift card, but it would go to Verizon customers that are not getting a new line of service.

I originally tried to order the phone on bestbuy.com and the first way i did it it gave me the option of a $150 gift card then i tried to open a new line on my account and it gave me the option for a $200 gift card..... couldnt get it to work online but went into a store and got my new pixel xl with a $200 gift card....... Last week i dont think the offer is valid anymore though

No actually the $100 best buy e card was the first option, where option # 2 was the $200 gift card. After searching the net I believe the $200 gift card is also best buy one. I wish it was a verizon gift card to pay my verizon bills with lol.

The list the offer for $200 gift card is extended to 11-13-16 I believe but it is still in effect for sure.

I had a not so fun experience with best buy on line order of a black pixel xl 32 gig. I ordered like 6am on saturday morning. The web site listed in stock and for pick up that day so I pulled the trigger. So like 9:12 am est saturday morning I got an email and text both showing the order was ready for pick up. So I made a 35 mile drive to get to the store to pick it up. I was there an hour guy couldnt find the phone then they tell me oh only the free chromecast that came with the order was there lol. I was like wtf your email and text did not list only part of the order was in. So I asked to speak to the sales guys boss and explained hey this was not right I feel that you should be able to give me a gift card for wasting my saturday afternoon and my wasted gas. He said oh I cant do anything. So I said I would like to talk to the store manager and he refused also said he cant just give out gift cards. I said then how about you at least take back the chromecast that I really had no use for and just give me a gift card for its value and he said he couldnt, I think doing that was not being anything but fair and no deal. So I was going to write down his name and he gave me his best buy business card. I said ok I will call customer service about it when I get home.
So I did and the woman looked my order up and she said yeah shes not sure why their web site let me select store pick up when the pixel xl is on back order until 11-7-16 She apologized and said there was nothing she could do on the phone not shipping until 11-7-16, and I said well I just feel like I got the run around and wasted my saturday afternoon and 70 miles of driving gas as 35 miles each way. So she offered me a $50 best buy gift card I was shocked as I was expecting less of a gift card maybe half that. I thanked her and said I felt that was more than fair and I really appreciated it.
The gist of it is best buy at their stores no longer have a 100% customer satisfaction policy anymore, and either cant do anything to make things right or they just plain refuse to, but if you call customer service they are more willing to listen and be fair and make things right, well actually for me they more than made things right which I appreciated what they did to fix the situation.

The $200 gift card is for a new line of Verizon service at Best Buy. It's been going on for a couple weeks. I bought an iPhone 7 in store last week and received it at the time of the purchase. The gift card is for Best Buy, and I was able to use part of it to pay for tax on the phone. The following terms indicate the gift card will be delivered after an online purchase. The $100 would also be a Best Buy gift card, but it would go to Verizon customers that are not getting a new line of service.

How did you manage to use it to pay the taxes ? I thought they list you get the card after you activate as in they send it to you ? Or did you purchase out right if that makes any difference as mine is on the payment plan lol

I ordered Saturday ( yesterday ) from Best buy and I just already got the $200 bb gift card emailed to me. I was shocked figured they would wait to send it until after the pixel xl was activated. A nice surprise, the card being a verizon gift card would have been more nice but hey cant look a gift horse in the mouth lol or at least we shouldnt lol. Would be nice if you could use a best buy gift card on your verizon bill and being bb is a verizon dealer they could really do that if they decided to and verizon just credit back bb for it, but yeah that would be having your cake and eating it too lol.

Use it this way
A BB gift card is good for anything BB sells, purchase a visa gift card with the BB card
Problem solved profit.

I bought it on the payment plan, since that was listed in the terms, and the Best Buy outright price is higher. If you buy in store you get the gift card at the time of the phone sale, so they allowed me to use the gift card on the sale. When I returned the iPhone the Best Buy employee only found two stores in my state that listed having the Pixel currently in stock.

Mine had the pixel xl listed in stock but it was wrong and its on back order. I got an email the day after with my $200 best buy gift card. It definitely makes up for the phone being overpriced.

My best buy order of my pixel xl 32 gb that I placed on 6am est saturday the 29th was estimated to be on back order until 11-7-16 then yesterday the 31st I got a ship email from best buy and the UPS tracking showed it actually got picked up. Crazy thing is I didnt pay extra for shipping but they must have given me free overnight shipping because UPS shows its for delivery today so yeah that is one day shipping lol. Very much a nice surprise
