Yes i jus picked mine up at my local sprint they had limited inventory 6 in total, but i was there when the doors swung open. Man I can't wait to fully explore this device
I got mine at a sprint store as one Best Buy said they would have them and after calling a few times yesterday including 5 min. before they closed and they didn't get them in yet. So i went to Sprint.
I didn't see it on the website around midnight, but saw it earlier today. Just placed my order in through telesales a minute ago. The reason I didn't get it through the store, is because i'm OCD and want a screen protector on it before I start using it.:silly:

I was waiting at the Sprint door this morning when they opened.....along with a couple of other guy.
Got Mine with the Samsung cover.. Sweet.
I took my wife to a different store this afternoon to upgrade her iphone to a iphone 5.
This second Sprint store said they sold out of the Note 2 within the first hour.
So...Now I have a new Note 2 and a new iphone 5 for side by side comparison...I tried really hard to convince my wife to get the Note,
but she had to have the iphone.
Man I can't get mine until Monday hope there are still some left

When the Note I came out Costco sold it for regular price with Flip Case and two Screen protectors. Does anyone know or have gotten the Note II
at Costco? If so does it come with same accessories? Haven't had a chance to make it down there to ask them.
I was told they are getting it near launch date. They already sent back original Note inventory. Accessories unknown but usually lame except for one OEM they include.

AT&T at Costco....
I was at Costco before as well, and noticed that the Kios/stand didn't have the AT&T phones anymore. I asked what happened, and they said they are no longer doing AT&T phone in the store, but will still do it online... I'm not sure if it's all Costco, or just in my region(Northwest)....
I asked about the Note 2 as well, and they were only able to answer for the carriers that had in the store..
I have not seen it online(haven't checked yet today) on the Costco site... so, just ended up pre-ordering from AT&T...
I work there...we still sell at&t phones and service through the with wireless advocates kiosk. I have no clue what the accessory bundle is going to be, but I'm pretty sure its going to be 279.99 or 289.99...we don't sell phones outright. Only new, upgrades, and add a line.

So, at least it's not all of Costco Kios that AT&T is pulling out of.. was hoping that they were still at the one in my area... as I liked getting the accessories as a bonus..
Do you know when it will go live online for order? I know when I ordered the SGSIII, I was able to pre-order it online.

I do know its only going to be for home delivery as of now. You'll be able to go online yourself or go to a kiosk and the employees there will order it for you. Kind of sucks, I understand why (note is still considered a niche category phone).

Unfortunatly, the person at that time stated that they couldn't order any AT&T phone at the Kios, and it has to be done only online, as they got rid of the AT&T display..
So, not sure what the story is.. haha... either way, I'm good with the online order from AT&T direct...
Thank you everyone for your input. I will be purchasing my phones from Costco from now on.

Depending on the type of account you have, they will honor the 14 or 30 day return. After that, 90 days for device swap for same device. Just an FYI for you. As long as you're not one to abuse this policy, they will help you anyway they can.
Only downside is they hardly ever have pre-orders. I've only seen the one s for tmo.
If this isn't in right place, please do move it.
I had my new Note I for 44 days, decided they're not going to give Note I JB anytime soon, if ever, so I took it back Best Buy and got the Note II.
I paid $150 for Note I and extra $150 for the Note II.
Total cost with contract was $300.
(Note I is going for $100.
Then this weekend I saw that Best Buy had it on sale for $200 w/2year contact. So I went back and they gave me back $100. That sure made my day! It WILL go back up by this weekend.
That's how I got mine and sold my T.mobile to them ! Good riddence and glad to be back on AT&T.

Better jump on it TODAY as it's the last day for it before it goes back up to $300. In my case, I got a $100 back since I bought the Note II two weeks ago. That was a NICE surprise, getting a $100 back. I was happy to spend $300 as this phone is worth every penny!
I opened a new line to snag this GNII at Best Buy... my contract on my line isn't due until November. Ill gladly pay the $10 a month for the 'add a line's charge. Or pay ETF up front, its still less that the no-contract price.

I'm in a battle with them now because I bought mine on Sunday when the deal was introduced. The rep told me that I would be able to get it, but when I called back to ask about how I'll be receiving it they told me that I won't. They said because I ordered the phone before the 10th, I'm not eligible. So I called corporate. They sent me to mobile post customer support. And I finally got a case number.
The last guy told me that since Sunday, it has been a huge problem because 90% of the reps don't know how the deal works... So they have had a lot of angry customers. Hopefully I'll get the gift card. It would be nice to have the phone for $150 instead of $200, which is cheaper than the lowest I've seen which was on amazon in 2012 for 175.
The $50 gift card is to compensate those who missed the $100 discount.

First, do you homework on the deals... and let me make this clear... you've got to talk to the right person. Always. Reps, especially on the phone, will give you nothing. The ones working in the phone area will give you nothing. This is what they're taught to do. I ALWAYS talk to the service department and if I have to, the store manager. Never been turned down. Of course I have silver status, so that means I spend a lot of money at BB. They want to keep me happy.
I have silver status which gives me 45 days to return or change my mind.
I had the Note I for 42 which I paid $150 for it. Two weeks ago, I paid another $150 for the Note II. Now I got 45 more days. Then last weekend they refunded me $100 of that for the $199 deal at the time for the Note II, then yesterday, a $50 gift card that the floor guys didn't even know was going on.
The deal got sweeter today as the weekend special says this:
If you get a Samsung Phone with a two year contract, you get $100 off on select Samsung Notebooks.
Look online or get their deals ads when you go to the store.
Computers & Tablets : Samsung_Laptop_Tablet_Phone_Offer_103656 - Best Buy
Guess what... since I'm in my 45 day time frame, I got a Samsung Notebook w/$100 off today.
Am I saving money or what!!! :victory:
I essentially got mine free... I was having a problem with my Atrix 2. It was my third one in a year. The rep offered to sell me the note 2 for 299. I argued and complained and eventually got him to sell it to me for 150, including overnight shipping. The next day it didn't come. I called in and raised hell again and they gave me a 100 dollar credit on my bill for my inconvenience. The rep PROMISED me a Monday delivery. It didn't come today and the tracking info says it will be delivered on Wednesday. I called and raised hell again and they gave me a 50 dollar credit.
I have to wait for 2 more days to get it, but that ain't bad for a free note 2,

etf, 350 vs $240 for the line at 24 mos PLUS getting an additional upgrade. just add the line. i am gonna do it for a back up phone. get best free phone and sell it. (best buy's buy back was great for this) put chip into a $10 go phone. this should about cancel out the cost of the contract.
Go to Radio Shack $199 on att and they trade in phones as well. Plus you get people who actually know what they're talking about

Yeah in for 4, Started a thread on Slickdeals last night. Switching from Sprint.
If people here are anywhere near slickdeals people you might need to say "2 year contract needed" , LOL.
Dang just my luck I just ordered the Note 2 on Friday. I have to wait until I tomorrow and see if they still have any 99 cent refurbs. Upside was the phone was 200 before taxes but I could save myself 199.
att knows galaxy IV will put note ii to shames? maybe that' why they want to get rid of note II?

Ok the galaxy S4 will not put this phone to shame. Why cuz it has a better screen, and a few more features. Samsung loves people like you to go& buy the latest and the greatest!
As far as the refurbish goes. It just a bunch of phones that got returned for minor issues, bad charging ports, screen not coming on, phone stop powering on, etc. So that's why they're getting rid of them to the public. Not because of the S4 release. Why not make more money on something that was broken b4! It's a common practice in electronics business..
But me & refurbish :thumbdown: there's always the possibility that your going to run into some of those same issues. I've had friends with refurbish products, I've also owned some myself..
But hey for 99¢ why the he'll not right
Just my 2¢

I just ordered one this morning.
The down side, after upgrade fees and taxes it cost me $90.00. Still not too bad of a deal.
I'm considering adding a line to my account to upgrade from my gs3. I have fat fingers and typing on a larger screen may be easier for me. I am hesitant to get anything refurbished though. So many choices I just can't decide. I would hate to wait until Wednesday and be disappointed by the gs4 and all the refurbs gone.

Except for my current Note II every upgrade I've gotten from ATT over the last 3-4 years starting with my Blackberries have been refurb. Every one of them lasted. I was shocked, because I was worried also.
Obviously doesn't mean bad ones weren't put out. But my 2 cents is I've always saved 100-200 bucks getting the refurbs , and I've had great success with them.
Sucks now since I've upgraded to two Note II's over the past months and paid the $250.

ordered mine today! updating from an SGS Cappy. This little beast has done pretty well, running 4.2.2 now, albeit a little boggy.:good:
Just waiting on the wife to get home, I'm all over this.
I may just add the insurance to be safe.
I am a bit confused about the messaging though, I'm pretty sure we both get charged 30 a month for family messaging unlimited, but it is only 20 per person? There is no explanation on their website.
Should it be just 30 for both of us or 30 each?
I had the family messaging, it was $30 that includes all lines.

Just ordered 2 of them. Was a little confusing, I added the data plans, couldn't add a family texting plan all it would say is "current" so I think it will still be there, but whatever. Does anyone use Google voice for texting? Can I just eliminate a texting plan altogether?
Upgraded (via my mom's contract, heh heh) and I am SO excited. I have a GS2 running 4.1.2 but I know someone with a Note II and it's beautiful. I am so glad I looked at the AT&T site today, heh heh.
Thanks for the heads up! I got one for my wife and one for my daughter. Both are happy.
My 14 day refund period on my new Note 2 just ran out Friday. Argh why didn't I wait 3 more days! I had been waiting to decide on the HTC one and finally decided on the Note 2 just last week. I thought this price drop might happen but I assumed it would have been done already. Like after the HTC launch.
Oh well. That's life.
There is one saving grace. The store seems to have forgotten to reset my upgrade. So if something else is better I can still upgrade on the cheap.
I actually ordered the 99 cents Note 2 this afternoon. It was actually free. They have a $25 instant web promo going on also. But they won't "give" me $24.01. It just shows as $0 on my order slip.
I get new activation waived via ATT premier also for new lines. I added a line.
So will automatically switch newly activated line to flip phone. Cancel data. Switch my sim from my iPhone 5 to the Note 2.
Cancel the new line in one month. Total out of pocket cost ($315) for Note 2..
Not bad. $315 is cheaper than the $500 they are going used on craigslist and close to $600 on eBay.

I added the line to my family plan for 10 bucks a month , 10 x 24 = 240$ , no cancellation fee needed. I will keep the line because I can now upgrade every year.
So it has confirmed the Note 2 is skipping the 4.2.2 update and skipping to the 4.3 update (Source). But the update is rumoured to be releasing around Q3/Q4... The Note 3 on the other hand will be announced this September, and may be released around November just like the Note 2... The Note 3 is said to come with 4.3
I think I will be getting the Note 3, with the new hardware specs and all, but I may stick with my note 2... what do you think?
I'll get whatever is new at the time of my upgrade

Doesn't really matter. They're doing what they feel they need to do. These devices were not made to be tampered with like we do. So honestly I can't blame them. With the amazing developers on this site there will always be a workaround. And Samsung is a rock solid manufacturer of smart phones. I ain't goin anywhere

ATT let me upgrade every iPhone on a yearly basis. Until the iPhone 5 came around and I wanted to jump ship to the Note 2. They just suddenly changed.
I spent 6 hours on the phone, multiple days, trying to get them to give me the note Note 2. Some of the people were just outright nasty too. Claiming I never did such a thing with the iPhones.
So when the Note 3 comes out I'm filing with the BBB, getting out of my contract, jumping over to Tmobile.
Contact the bbb because they wont upgrade u? Haha

For terrible service. I live in rural NY, but a popular one at that. I follow ATT's stupid cell tower news, and they can add towers in my area until the cows come home - but its always spotty.
My coworker just switched from ATT to Verizon doing the same exact thing after I recommended it to him. He filed a complaint, ATT called him the next day, the following day he sent his phone back and went to Verizon for his new contract, and the next day he was sitting next to me with a brand new S4.
Three days flat.
The only reason I recommended the idea was because a friend had done it to switch from Sprint to Tmobile after his screen broke.
Even if I need to lie about it to really drive home the point of the terrible service they've given me and my family for over 6 years on separate accounts, I could care less. According to ATT, I already am a liar anyway.

For terrible service. I live in rural NY, but a popular one at that. I follow ATT's stupid cell tower news, and they can add towers in my area until the cows come home - but its always spotty.
My coworker just switched from ATT to Verizon doing the same exact thing after I recommended it to him. He filed a complaint, ATT called him the next day, the following day he sent his phone back and went to Verizon for his new contract, and the next day he was sitting next to me with a brand new S4.
Three days flat.
The only reason I recommended the idea was because a friend had done it to switch from Sprint to Tmobile after his screen broke.

Well I personally was nowhere near as phone dependent as I was 3 years ago that's for sure. With new work and having to need constant phone service and email access to be on the ball, it wasn't as bad.
And now TMobile is offering all these great plans at such low prices. And even an insurance plan that lets you upgrade not once, but TWICE every year. I could never see myself upgrading twice, but I'm a hardware sleuth so I like the yearly and am willing to pay if thats what it takes.
After doing the math out, for me and several family members to switch, it would be almost $20 a month cheaper on Tmobile even with that insurance plan for me.
So lower cost, plus better service in my area, plus the upgrade insurance plan looks pretty damn sweet. I'd say anything to get out of the ATT contract to be honest. And again, they already called me a liar anywho. -.-

More than 90% of the complaints get solved. Especially when it costs $500+ for a cell phone provider to dispute a BBB claim.
I mean, you did after all tell me they will laugh me off the phone when you in fact submit claims online But hey, what do I care if you believe me or not.

Dude $500 is pocket change to them. That's my bill for like 2 months with a couple smart phones on it. Believe me. ....they're not going to back down over 5 bills

Yes, they're going to spend $500 to dispute a customer who is going to leave them anyway when they could just let said customer go, get his phone back, refurb the phone, and sell out another contract without losing a dime or time. In fact, they make double with the refurb phone technically. Resolving the dispute all together too.
EDIT:
I mean if you honestly think this is the first time people have done this successfully, and you're going to argue it like it is, then you need to reevaluate some of your logic
My next phone (in about a year and a half) will almost definitely be a Sony or Nexus.
I have had 3 Samsung smart phones and before that 2 Samsung, 2 Motorola, 1 Sony Ericson (sp?) and of course the venerable Nokia back in the day.
