Walmart deal coming up.

I just got off the phone with T-Mobile and the rep told me Walmart is cooking up a big promotion for the S3. I called to upgrade one of my lines and asked him if they can match or beat the WireflyFriends price and he said unfortunately no but Walmart is getting ready for a big S3 promotion. Fingers crossed that it beats the WireFly sale price.

I already got $50 back from CarToys because of Walmart's S3 price. I'm hoping they drop it farther so I can get more, but I'm not sure how much time I have left from CarToys to do that.

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.

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!!!

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.

wth do these cost so damn much more than a tablet with pretty much the same specs (gn10.1)?

On a whim yesterday, I stopped in a local Sprint store. Said they didn't know when it would be launched and wasn't expecting stock. About a mile away is another Sprint store. Stopped in there and they had 2.
Since I recently upgraded to the GS3, I wasn't able for upgrade pricing. They told me the stock was for upgrades only. After a few minutes of chatting, not only did they sell it to me, but they gave it to me for $570. :good:

Bestbuy.com has upgrade stock for 299 now.

Where did you find this?

No, I meant where did he find that they had it in stock. Lol. I know its on their site, but they don't have any in their inventory. So I was asking if he had uncovered info on having them in stock.

haha I was wondering where he seen it as well because I keep refreshing the page and still don't see a change.

Anyone know if Best Buy will price match Sprint's retail price? I am contemplating selling them back my GS3 for $349 and picking up the Note. I'd rather pay $300 than $450...

Just went ahead and bought it from the Sprint website... 650.00. + Tax ~ 700.00. Good thing I'm selling a bunch of tablets and breaking even

Best Buy Availability

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!

mine said backordered too. i really wanted to keep it - 18mo no interest, $10 in bb rewards, and $88 credit on my account. but i cancelled it. i don't want to have to fight for the $150 price match on the retail price and picked one up a sprint today. they just got a new shipment in when i got there.

What about the 50 gift card towards purchase? Would I lose that if I ordered online? I have a white one that I bought at sprint, but hubby is waiting for his to use the gift card.

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.

I'm guessing that the date they gave you is probably right or in the ballpark. I've heard from several stores that it won't be out till the 11th.

Will other stores carry the note ii?

I'm able to upgrade on December 1st and was wondering if there will be any other places to buy the note from. Black Friday is coming soon and if stores like amazon carry it I'm sure they'll dampen the $300 price a bit, but if it's only available on sprint and best buy it doesn't look like it will happen.

You can buy it from Wirefly and other online retailers right now for a discounted price.
If you mean brick and Mortar stores, Radioshack should be selling (On their website) and maybe WalMart too.

It's great that there are other carriers. I think I'll buy black friday. Does anyone know how long you have until you can activate the phone? My upgrade is available December 1. I was wondering if it's possible to buy the phone and wait a week before activating it. When I first signed up for sprint I know it was about 2 weeks after receiving my phone from amazon, I'm not sure if what the policy is with other stores and upgrades though.

Best Buy should be carrying it soon as well. They just got in the AT&T variant today.

It's a link to Wirefly that is technically designated for Friends and Family of Simplexity employees. But the link has been easily accessed by the public for some time now. I bought my last 2 phones from that link, including my Note II that I just ordered this weekend.
Just do a Google search for Wirefly Friends and Family.

Why are you bothered about this "mate" htc phone? I would rather have an LG pro 2 with USA spec LTE of available, failing that I would await a the M8 Max :cyclops:

Well, I read rumors that T-Mobile was supposed to begin selling the M8 tonight after midnight. Searched the site for "HTC One" and it came up with this page:
View attachment 2650498
I clicked the link that is shown on the right side to buy my M8. It took me to this URL: https://explore.t-mobile.com/htc-one-m8
The link doesn't seem to be working right now as it only takes me to a blank page. But this is encouraging!
EDIT:
Called customer service and found out (after four or five transfers, lol) that the site probably won't be live until 12:00am Pacific Time (3:00am EST). So I'll try again in the morning.
Also, I couldn't believe the lack of knowledge of T-Mobile employees about this phone. I called a store today to see about in-store purchase date and the rep didn't even know the phone was coming out. Ditto with the last rep I talked to. She was just able to tell me that usually during system updates and for record keeping, they operate on Pacific Time. So hopefully I won't have any troubles ordering in the morning.

The price appears to be $636 for T-Mobile customers.* As always that can change, along with the release date, at any time.
As a customer on an Un-Carrier-era plan with good credit no down-payment is required and the phone cost can be spread across 24 payments with no financing fees. For those with less credit a down-payment is required and the remaining balance is spread out over the same 24 months, again without financing costs. Or just pay for it outright. In all of those cases the cost comes out to be the same, $636 plus any local taxes.
Purchasers paying in installments can also enroll in the Jump program. Simply put, in it's latest version, it's extended warranty, insurance, Lookout Premium subscription, and a trade-in guarantee after the phone has been half paid for. $10 month to be in it. Thus in a year we Jump folks can trade in our HTC One m8, after having spent as little as $342 (over the cost of just insurance) to start on the HTC One m9 with integrated hover board functionality!
I expect we'll hear more about the new HTC One on T-Mobile after the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S5 launch on the 11th. That has garnered lots of attention and is backed by Samsung's huge advertising campaigns making it the launch of the season.
*T-Mobile makes it's money as phone service provider, not as a phone seller. Thus it's phone prices are often higher for non-customers.

Well, it looks like the link I posted earlier is up and running, but it isn't an order page. It's just a page to request notification of when it will be available for sale.
