Tasks AOKP ROM is nice. I use it as my daily driver, but it has a few little bugs.
Most of which I can live with. My only real complaint with it is that the Voice Dialer doesn't work through bluetooth.
Other than that its superb.
I bought mine for $199 from the att store, nice red one btw then called two days later and said my cousin bought one at best buy for $99 (complete lie) and they credited my account $114

Scammer.
I have confimed on Black Friday it will be on $50 on Radioshack...
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium
I saw it at radio Shack for $99 after I paid $199 at at&t, called them up and told them about it. They informed me that they don't offer price matching.
I informed them I would just return the phone and go buy it from the shack.
They promptly credited my account $100.
So apparently anyone can get it for $99 if they are willing to work with a customer service representative.
Hope this helps people get credited

Tell me how it goes, because I really want this phone but I need it to be $99.
There was a thread about someone getting a gs3 for $99 from actually calling att and talking to a rep. I read this and called att myself. I bought mine for 199 at the store. So I called 611 and talked to someone. Told them I have been with att for a long time and felt I deserve the same price treatment as the person who got it for 99. Lady said how about 100 credit on bill. I said cool. Next thing I know it was only a 25 dollar credit. Week later I called again cause had issues with activating wife's new iPhone. After getting that resolved I told them about when I called last time and thought I was getting 100 dollar credit but only got 25. Somehow the guy this time hooked me up and gave me 2 different credits. An 80 and 28.50. And my other 25 he didn't take off. Said he wasn't going to. So all three credits took effect and I got 133.50 credit on my bill. So its like I got my gs3 for 66.50. Can't complain about that.

I got mine from at&t for 99.99 I called in and told them I saw people getting it for a 99.99 and asked if I could get the same deal, the csr had to get a manager/supervisor override but was very nice and helpful.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747
I bought mine from Frys Electronics last week for $150. Then I called AT&T and complained about the trouble I had activating it (spent 2 hours in the store on the phone, eventually had to go to an actual AT&T store). Even though there were no notes on the account, they issued me a $25 loyalty credit and waived the $36 upgrade fee. I didn't ask for anything more than waiving the upgrade fee, but they were very understanding of what I went through. I would highly recommend calling customer service if you aren't afraid to complain.

I suspect the earliest we could expect to see the price drop to $99 with a contract is Christmas. More likely scheduled around S4 release.

how the heck did you get it for $75? I didn't know about the Saturday offer from T-Mobile.
I guess I should have clarified my statement... $188 is the regular price Sam's Club is selling the phone.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using xda premium
you've gotta try those damn tmobile reps one at a time until one gives in.
the first rep i spoke with, she was willing to offer me buy 1 get the second free and i said no.
then the next day i called again and this time the rep gave it to me for 47.99 for 1 and i took it. then she said i have to pay $77. i said taxes are not that high, but she said they have to charge taxes on the full price of the phone. i thought about it and took it anyway. i think i got the price cause she said i had $250 phone credit since i was eligible for an upgrade.

I went to the T-Mobile website that was linked in the article and found that this is not really a good deal. This is advertised for new customers.
You have to pay $200 down on the sgs 2 and pay $20 over 20 months with a value unlimited plan. That is $600 then you mail in the $150 rebate card bringing the total to $450.
I'd rather pay $188 for an upgrade. But I am gonna try calling customer service again and see if I can get it for cheaper first.

I bought the phone the day after it came out but the total out the door was just short of $400. Then I would have gotten the $50 rebate.
I have a tmobile my touch 4g slide and it is a pretty good phone. I just couldn't justify $350 net so I returned it and paid the $50 restocking fee.
I got really ticked off when a co worker told me he got his from Sprint for $200. Then, a couple of days later, he told me that the cost was $100.
Why does Tmobile charge so much?

Probably the chip to support hspa+ 72 made it cost more than the lte models.
I think it's just T-Mobile's pricing structure. With my now-gone New Every Two discount on Verizon, I paid $130 with a new two-year contract for my white 16GB Galaxy S3.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2
I believe it's a mix of T-Mobile having cheaper plans for voice/text/data and also it could be the fact that the phone uses HSPA+.
I got mine on June 21st so I can't complain. Plus I have nothing but excellent contact with T-Mobile and excellent cell/data service.

dont know about wirefly but I bought mine from Costco for 179.99$
I don't know what the other sales are. But tmobile can beat em. Especially if your contract is about up.
Got mine for $79.99!
Ask for retentions, or at least customer loyalty. But retentions can do even better. Google tmobile retentions deals galaxy s3 for more info.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
Did you just tell the automated machine retention? I didn't know that I'll give it a try.
I did try that but still got customer loyalty. I loyaly offered me $279 for phone, $150 credit bringing it to $129. Also got. $20 5gb data plan and a $10 per month bill credit every month for 24 months. I told her I wasn't ready to pull the trigger yet and would call back. Asked her if she made notes on my acct for all she offered which she did.
Called back next day and this time made sure I got on with a retention specialist. They saw notes on my account so honored all the offers. I said I didn't think I could accept because it still meant I had to initially pay $279 which I couldn't afford to do. He did some looking at something and said he could bring it down to $229. I asked if I would still get the $150 credit which I did. I told him I still didn't have that much to spend initially and he said he could apply the cost to my next bill, so after credit I would only have to pay the $79 on my next bill!
Oh and I also got free overnight shipping!!!
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
Wow, that's amazing. Been with them for almost ten years with multiple lines, hopefuy that helps me out. Thanx for the info, I will be glad paying 150. Guess I will give this tomorrow a try.
Good luck! Its definately worth trying.
I've been with them since the Voicestream days, over 10 or 11 years ago. That definately helps, especially if they think you are gona cancel.
The other thing is my contract had already expired which gives max leverage.

I'm continuing this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1951870 here because it relates to the Sprint version.
Ok so here's what I was able to find out. The first store i called said that the phone was in the computer but not in stock could possibly come in tonights or Wednesdays shipment. The second store said that Sprint isn't going to release the phone till the 11th to which I replied they released it Thursday and she was like oh well that's weired. So I called the Reward Zone Premier Silver customer service and they weren't able to tell me exactly what I needed to know so I was transferred to .com support. This is what they said. The phone is available to order NOT PREORDER. Where it says "coming soon" that means it's coming soon in stores. When you add the phone to your cart you add all of your plan info and then pay for it. They said it ships in 5-7 days.
If this helps you please hit thanks!

Called two Best Buy's this morning in the North Dallas area. Still not in the inventory system (don't know if their inventory system is national) - so none in stock at the store. They are taking pre-orders though.
Couldn't hazard a guess on which channel is actually faster.
i've called 15+ stores twice a day since the phone launched. the responses have been mixed, but over time the general consensus is now shifting to "it won't be available in store until Nov 11." i've pre-ordered it at a store, but in the meantime, i also bought one on their website. original delivery was 10/31-11/1, but just got updated to 11/8-11/19. if they start showing up in store before i get mine, i might just grab one there and cancel my online order. but i figure i've already missed launch day and have been waiting anyways, so what's a couple more days?
Called around to several stores today and wasn't able to find any phones or anyone who could tell me when it's going to released.

Talked to a Best Buy Mobile sales associate from a local store again today - this rep (taking it with a huge grain of salt) said that the carrier (Sprint) corporate stores would have a two week exclusive from launch. If true, that puts the date in line with the AT&T launch date: November 9th.
If I didn't have all those Best Buy gift cards from my Photon trade-in - I would've gone to the corporate store by now.

Did anyone buy the device without changing their contract and if so how much did you pay?
I know at&t quotes $650 but I'm sure there are ways to buy buy for less (aside from getting axxount credits)

$650. Only way to lower that is the early upgrade thing for $550, but it extends your contract.

Yes it's $649 unless you're able to get the store manager to cut you a deal like I've had done once or twice in the past. I'll be returning my IP5 tomorrow in exchange for the Note 2. I hope they aren't too mad at me. Battery life on the IP5 leaves a lot to be desired.

What about price matching? Anyone sell it for less?

Outright price has always been cheaper from AT&T. Everywhere else I've seen is $699.99 or more.
What kind of deal u had with the manager to get it cheaper than $650?

When I purchased my last S3, the manager went in the system and marked it down to $399 since I'd purchased so many phones. Just have to be nice to people sometimes.
Im hoping bestbuy will price match it for me in a coupla hours here.

I never had any luck getting them to price match. I forget the reason/lie they always gave.

How did you guys manage to get one off contract? I showed up early this morning and was the first into one store and they would no sell me one without signing a new contract. I even called customer service who called the store to clarify and told me it was up to the manager to decide whether or not they would sell it to me without contract because they are in limited supply. I called another store thinking maybe it was just that one at&t store and I was told the exact same thing by the other store. It's driving me crazy because I was ready to fork over $650 + for this phone. Customer support wouldnt even let me order over the phone because they claim that the phone isn't even in their system yet. Very disappointing day so far...
Picked mine up from AT&T for $550 plus tax = $593
They extended my contract for 2 yrs from today.

I had an account already but I just told the guy I was paying the no commitment price and he didnt question it. Rang me up in about 3 or 4 minutes and I was done. I have no idea why they wouldnt sell it to you off contract. My best friend has simple mobile and he went in t mobile to buy his and they let him get his too with no problem.

I literally walked in and said I was buying for the off contract price and that was it, guy rang me up and gave me my phone. My brother works for bestbuy mobile and he said that sometimes stores will do that to maximize sales because thats how they will make there money, off the contract instead of the phone. So if you were off contract i can see why they would be pricks about it.

Man this sucks for me. I am still under contract but the guy didn't even ask. I have called about 10 stores and the story has been the same except for one guy who offered to sell me one for $750 cash only!! I laughed in his face before I hung up that phone. I have a business account and I finally got off the phone with someone who was willing to help me order it, but get this, they charge businesses $100 more for the no contract price...$650 vs $750. That is so close to Best Buy's price of $800 that I stop from ordering it. I will speak with my company's account rep next week but this is really shady business even from At&t. Without my grandfathered unlimited plan I would be walking out the door at this point.

Yeah, you got that right. South Florida = Scumbag Land. This is the shady dealings I have had with a major company in a while. There shouldnt be this big of an issue buying off contract. It clearly lets you do it on the website, although when I tried that it makes me set up a new line of service or I have to act like a new customer. I even thought about buying it as a new customer and then canceling the line, etc. but that it just way to much work for a cell phone. Why they can't just shut up and take my money....I'll never know!

Hey Note2 owners (and soon to be owners),
I tried all afternoon on launch day to pick up one at non-commitment price, but all the AT&T stores here in Los Angeles area wouldn't let me as they were in "limited stock" and reserved for new or upgrade accounts. I even called a friend who knew a manager but he said the same thing. The only way was to order it online as it ships from warehouse.
I do have an issue though and I was wondering if anyone else is in the same shoes as I am.
I placed an order online that same afternoon, but ever since and until now it still shows "Status: Attention" on my order status page. I did call AT&T Premier to make sure, and the rep told me that it's still being processed and take anywhere from 24-48 hrs to finish processing the order, considering that the weekend was non-business days.
Is anyone else who ordered online on launch day still show that status? I've been stuck on my old flip RAZR phone for a month now since my issue with my S3 being fraudulently reported stolen (a story I might like to tell someday).
Just wondering if it's just bad luck with me or something. I just want my Note 2 and carrying this RAZR is kinda embarrassing lol
Thanks guys for any input.

My online (pre-)order status went from "Pending" or "Processing" to "Shipped". I never saw an "Attention" status, and I believe others here who did said it indicated that there was a problem that was holding up the order. Probably good to check with them again.

Why not order it online? That seems to have worked smoothly for most people. I did that (for the full no-contract $650) and kept my grandfathered unlimited data plan (although initially AT&T changed it to a 3GB plan, and I had to call and have the unlimited plan restored).
