Price drop!

'allo fellow xda heads. i'm not sure of the specifics on it but at the mall they are selling this phone for a mere 149.99 just thought id let you guys know

meh.
I took the day off of work. That day would have been overtime. Plus I put $50 on a giftcard at sprint just in case my BestBuy connection didn't pan out.
All-in-all it cost me $350 or so for a $700 phone that I paid (-$150) for at BestBuy.
$50 really doesn't phase me.

i bought at retail, I wonder did the retail price drop to 449

I got mine via wirefly. Was on sale for $149, and used Bank of America's Add It Up rewards program to get another $50 off. $99 for this phone, I can live with

At letstalk you could have this phone for as low as 79.99

I got mine preordered at wirefly on sept. 7th for 124.99 with overnight shipping. Walmart selling them for 99.99 with new contracts. BOA discounts at wirefly get them for under a hundred. Because Sprint allowed this phone to go into a third party retailers frenzy with now premier or general preorders, we've seen intense pricing competition weeks before it's official release, yet alone now.

Sams club it was $193 out the door including CA sales tax. They found a loophole so they didnt charge tax on the whole phone price, just the subsidized price.

At the mall at a sprint store?

You're obviously jealous, nothing wrong if someone enjoys working at Radio Shack and that's a damn good price for the plan.

Busted my display...

So I busted my display and SD no logner mounts either. I'm four months out for contract renewl and upgrade pricing. Does anyone have any tips for talking to Sprint and getting it advanced?

Call and ask customer care... They have been known to help a good customer in need if they are able

Cant you also buy out your contract early for like $10 per month remaining?

With 4 months left your etf is only 50 bucks.

Yeah that's a great idea all. Thanks!

i have a white lcd replacement for sale if you wantn to fix the phone and try to sell it to cover the cost of your new phone and your etf cost.

Where can I get a white GS3 other than Sprint or Best Buy?

When is the Best Buy exclusive on the white Galazy S3 for Sprint going to end? I need to get one off contract, but I refuse to pay $699. I know Sprint is an option but I'm trying to avoid paying tax on the purchase.

Don't only chics buy white phones?? ;-)

Radio shack?

Nope, they don't carry it for Sprint. Apparently only Verizon and AT&T. Seems Best Buy and Sprint are the only places that carry it for now. Sucks. Guess I'll have to keep checking Swappa and Ebay.

how does purchasing from a retailer let you avoid tax?

Most online places won't charge state tax if they don't have a retail presence in your state. Plus Sprint is forced to charge both a state and federal tax on the sale of their phones which ended up being about 15%. I'd rather wait and find it somewhere else.

I'm looking to buy it full price. My contract is up in a year so I have no interest in renewing.

They only have blue

Radioshack has them, something called direct2u meaning they don't have it in store, and can only be shipped to you

Where Can I find a Galaxy SIII for cheap?

I need to find a place where I can find the SIII the cheapest one with a contract and another without a contract.

Called AT&T, told them I had read about people recently getting the S3 from them for $99 but they were at $199. Would they offer any deals/price matching. Said she could not but gave me a $70 credit towards my "purchase", which actually came off of last months bill. Went to Sam's and bought the phone for $148, 6% sales tax brought me to ~$157. All said and done, this made my purchase, on contract, be $87.
Off contract - would try Ebay, craigslist, or swappa.

off contract price new is lowest at AT&T $549 plus tax.
Used on craigs list will be around $400

Not true, I bought my brand new white GS3 a couple of months ago from ebay for $475 with $10 shipping. You just have to keep an eye out on "Buy it now" newly listed items. I find that people that list with buy it now tend to just want to get quick cash, and don't care about getting top dollar. Always make sure you check out their feedback and always deal through PayPal.
Some list the buy it now listings with best offer options for lower prices too. Just stay away from the auctions.

I'm in a really tight spot, my sister pre-order the iphone 5 at radio shack and they made her purchase a gift card for $50, to buy the iphone 5 when its in store. Now I'm thinking of her getting the SIII. However, I don't want to her to pay for $200 for an SIII when I know radio shack had it for $100 not too long ago. Do you think I should just make her buy the iphone 5?

Amazon wireless for the contract one. And swappa for the off contract one.

I traded mine straight up for a s3. Gotta be patient. I had to pass a lot of deals. The S3 has a lot of hype, so people want a lot for it. But the One X is great. Id do 100 max if you had too.

This is the dead best. Throw in their warranty and you never have to worry about bricking it either..
But what do you mean that you got a $100 "refund?" I got mine for 175... how do I get a refund also...
Actually, the absolute best deal if you don't care about the warranty is Walmart online. I don't know if they are still offering it, but they had it for $250 online with a $100 dollar walmart gift card. That is the cheapest that I gave seen it. Hands down.
So 175 or 150.

I had bought mine from best buy 3 weeks ago for $299 on an upgrade. So I went in there yesterday and showed them amazons upgrade price of $199 and they gave me a refund of $100 to match it.

Another data point: I bought mine from Best Buy about 2.5 weeks ago for $240 (2 yr contract). Went in yesterday and they credited me the difference to match Amazon's $199.

I am sure a lot of people know this and have read the terms and conditions during checkout...watch out for the ETF fees for both the distributor and carrier...I believe Amazon Wireless charges $200 on top of ATT $325 and Walmart Wireless charges $400 ETF on top of ATT $325 ETF. If one calculates out the discounted price with the double wammy ETFs...the total cost to buy out the Note II comes out to be a little more than purchasing from ATT or Negri.
I think Negri Electronics has the best deal right now...but they are still out of stock. Most 3rd party distributors have a delay in shipping the i317 right now.

Assuming you guys dont know how to read because OP is looking for Note 2 WITHOUT CONTRACT.

Looking for Rogers version. Looks like they changed it from att to 317m unlocked version. Which gets 3g/4g/LTE on ATT.
