Wondering if I should upgrade, for now walmart is the cheapest @$148 , but I want to get it at less than $100 for upgrade, per phone.
Does any of you know if the price is going down? I'm just wondering with GS4 possible in February 2013, they might want to pull an iphone, and keep the price at this level until they release a new phone. Then drop $100 to $99 on contract for GS3. And give the GS 2 for a buck.
So if this is the plan, I'm willing to buy now for $150, but if they gonna drop it to $1 in couple of months, I wouldn't buy it.
EDIT: this is for at&t.

Well with the announcement of the GS4
I'm curious to see if the unlocked price of the GS3 is going to go down. Right now its about 540-550 unlocked.

i am a silver member and just hit my 1 year mark so i have $75 towards an upgrade. If i trade in my evo for the $125 buyback is it possible to sign up for a new two year contract and use the $200 to get the SGSII free?

No because the $75 off gets taken off the retail price of the phone. So The SGSII will probably be around $550 so you would take $75 off that and then subtract whatever the store buys back your Evo for.

oh ouch. thanks for the info.
Also from one of the recently released dealer handbooks, it seems they are doing away with the $75 yearly upgrade effective early October. You get the 22mo full upgrade (12mo for Premier) and thats it.
so now that the GN is 100% possibly going to be released tomorrow(12/15), what's the best price the unit is going for?
$299 at Verizon
$289 at CostCo
anyone else have it going for lower?
if you're going to get the thing you may as well get it for the best price right?
[EDIT] and yes, that Q was supposed to be a W. i blame the tiny keyboard i'm using.
you have to consider verizon's expensive plan rate times 24 months commitment.

Bingo.
Also OP, I'm sure there will be deals on Amazon wireless and others if you're willing to sign an extra contract and ETF burden.
i had gotten the Rezound for $219 at Best Buy Mobile. i have until the 16th of this month to exchange....
that being the case, if i can get it as close to a 'straight swap' as possible i'd love to keep the extra money for gas/food.
BBM price matches other stores
Called 4 Costco stores in SE Michigan and getting mixed answers. One person said the 21st. Another said "when Verizon gets them". $289 supposedly includes a bundle of other items with it. Can anyone confirm Costco will be selling tomorrow?
Costco's 289 price includes leather case, leather holster, travel charger (home+car), and screen protectors. Also includes no restock fee..so that alone seems to be a good savings overall. I get my family's phones at Costco..they're a pretty good crop of people and don't give you crap!
I saw someone state Target will have it for $199, but I have no proof.
What about Best Buy and their technology protection program? That seems like a cost-effective way to go and still be able to upgrade your device in less than two years.
With corporate discount it should be $249 from Verizon from day one. (This is how it was with the Razr, Rezound, etc.)
$155/$175 (new/upgrade) from letstalk

i dont think its going get much cheaper any time soon.
Best price for a ET4G on Sprint upgrade? Anything lower than $150?
My sister is eligible for an upgrade, she loves my ET4G so I was looking to get her one. Wirefly/Amazon both show $79 for new contract or $150 for upgrades. Anyone know anything better than $150? Damn I paid $100 when it first came out! Thanks.
Sorry for double post, I got to buy her the phone in less than 48 hours! Thanks!
Amazon Wireless has it for 79.99, I tried to post the link but I'm too much of a noob to be allowed yet.
Go to target.com and find it on there website. Its 99 bucks go to best buy they are price matching till January 20 th. Boom epic 4g for 99. Its 79 on amazon but you have to wait bestbuy you get it that day. I got two epic last week from best buy for 99 each
sent from my blobfish (if you don't know what a blobfish is, Google it)

Here is the link you couldnt post. Ill be taking this deal to get my mom this phone
You guys know that at target its $99.99 with new line but $150 with an upgrade right? And amazon is $79.99 with a new line, but $150 with an upgrade. Its pretty much $150 everywhere for upgrades.

Look for Wirefly 10% online coupon code just used it 5 days ago.
If you trade in ANY working phone (not just smart phones) to radio shack you can get it for 100 bucks.
WAAAH! How long have these prices been going on for? I paid $199.99 about a month or so ago for an upgrade
Thanks for all the replies, but I already know abt the $79 amazon deal. I need to UPGRADE an existing sprint line that is eligible for discounted upgrade - i dont need to sign up a new phone number or line. So the amazon price/wirefly price is $150 for upgrades. Regarding radio shack, do you know if that $100 price is for upgrades as well?
I believe the $79.99 deal at Amazon is only for new customers, not upgrading. If you are upgrading then it is $149.99
Ill be getting it for $79.99 next week
I got mine on the 26th from Sprint.
They were having a deal (25th-31st) if your upgrade was near that they would upgrade you sooner and I got my et4g for $126.00 with the trade in of my evo.
By far this phone is immaculate but I think I just got my first problem with it.
The vibrate is making a super weird noise that it really shouldn't be making.
Hope you find a good deal for it!
Sprint will give you $90 (as a credit to your bill) for your old HTC EVO, even if you don;t buy a phone through them.

You'd do better to sell it on fleabay.
I sold mine for $200.

Unfortunately I already traded it in and got my ET4G. :/
My Target has the upgrade for $99 as well (I'm near Seattle). Don't know if it's like that everywhere, but it is here. They've also been out of stock since Christmas so I went to Best Buy and although they're supposed to call and verify availability, they didn't! Also, Best Buy has better insurance than Sprint, 10 bucks a month and no deductible! Also, if you can get it at Target, they have a better trade in program. Best Buy was only going to give me $30 for a brand new Vibrant, Radio Shack was $65, but Target was $90! Still going to sell it elsewhere, but it's good info to have!
Networkingrus.com seems like the cheapest place at the moment - coming in at $669.99 for both colors. I am ready to pull the trigger but waiting for the announcement in 2 days, hoping the price drops especially if the US Variants are similar spec'd with LTE added.
Any other places I'm not aware of? I'm in CA, so newegg is out of the question after taxes.

In case you're in a cave today, there is an ebay deal of the day selling the WHITE one for $590 + Tax in CA.
This is a heck of a deal if you want the white one considering if you buy the phone from T-mobile it will be $300 (and if you want to cancel your contract from Tmo it will be $300 ETF + $50 for 1 month service + Tax AND a lot of hassel).

hah, i didn't bother checking the member found deals because i've given up finding a note II there... Definitely the best price $641, however not the color im looking for =/
Thanks though.
Cheapest note 2 in india / Hyderabad
i baught it for rs 36000 INR.
I don't have one, but I'm looking at the market to buy one. The Note 3 is a considerable upgrade in terms of "Which should I get if I'm buying new?". S3's are down to about $250 or so so I would say a $100 off the used price would be reasonable but I'm not sure.
What do you guys think? What type of offers should I be making? I feel like anything above $300 and I might as well buy the Note 3 and eat the 2 year contract. (I'm on a monthly plan no contract and I use unlocked phones)
