You go through a lot of phones. I had a iphone 3g. Then infuse. Now this. And I couldnt be happier.

Agreed, not a good deal. They were on sale for $174 for a month on Amazon
I find it funny that people still pay full 2 year contract pricing.
Only 2 phones I could not find at least 50% off asking price is iphones (new iterations) and latest blackberry bold (do not know why this still cost)
All in all welcome.

$299 is what most carriers are selling it for, especially on contract upgrade/extension. You sometimes get a better deal on a new contract (i.e., you aren't a current customer.)
Amazon had them for about $175 for a little bit but not on a contract upgrade. Then they went to $249, then $289. They seem to be back to $249 now on most carriers.
Usually the cheapest place is cartoys.com based in Seattle. Among other things, you get free shipping and no tax unless you live in Washington or a couple other states. AT&T (and I assume the other carriers) charge tax on the $699 list price. So here in California, the tax is about $60.
Cartoys finally has them available at $249. I did manage to get the only two they had a couple weeks ago at $149 each! I had been following their web site and they accidentally had posted them on the website at that price. I called and they discovered they shouldn't have posted them on the site because they didn't have any stock. So they took them down from the web site. I called a few days later and they had two phones in stock. With some taking, I was able to talk them in to selling them to me. But I wouldn't expect to see them at that price again for a bit.

Right now handtec.co.uk and clove.co.uk have the phone for $690. The phone was released yesterday on Bell Canada and is $650 off contract. But im not sure those of us in the states have access to that without a Bell Canada account. Has anyone else found it cheaper?
Newegg 12/13: $699

You're going to pay about the same price no matter who you order from. Even from Canada. Your other priority is who and how your warranty will be handled depending on who you buy from. You found the cheapest already so scratch.if you're itching that bad. I paid a premium to order from expansys in the states. I ended up paying $741 USD.

I got it for 549 euro today, which is around 734 USD.
unfortunately my eagerness to play with new tech doesn't mesh well with premium drop prices. this thing will be $600 new in a months time, not sure i can hold out that long

If it is $650 new in Canada chances are it will be that in USA also. Gotta pay if you wanna play now. Waiting though will probably save close to $100 USD.

523 Euro in Munich!
Before the Unlimited Data Date passes you by if you have that plan! They are now showing the Galaxy Nexus for $49.99 on many sites: Wirefly, Target Mobile, Kmart, Sears, Newegg etc on a two year contract extension. Also many companies will price match this. Can't go wrong with this price.

Amazon had it for a penny a few days ago. New lines only.
Wow, sure beats the $300 I dropped back in December!
Just got mine 3 days ago. Couldn't take advantage of the penny deal. I made vzw upgrade me 6 months early because of their new "screw everybody" share plans. Had to buy the phone from vzw. 150 after 50 dollar rebate.

I was in Costco today and noticed that the T-Mobile GS3 has dropped to $199 no mail in needed. I bought two of them when it released last month. Since I was still within 30 days I was able to get it adjusted. Nice to walk out of Costco with an extra $100. Anybody else that bought from Costco should be able to do the same. Enjoy the extra cash!

Wow this is ridiculous.
Super pissed that I got it from a T-Mo retailer now...anyone know of anyways we can get adjusted?
Yeah... the costco deal finally pushed me to trash my 2-year old vibrant and upgrade.
I still can't get used to how massive the SGS3 is.

I yelled at retention for a few days, eventually they gave me a credit. First they said I could return, pay the $50 and buy it from Wal-Mart, then that didn't work so they gave me a $50 credit. Then they said I could do it in a few days "when the system reset" showing me eligible for an upgrade. That didn't happen either. Then they said they would sell it to me from customer service for 199 or I could buy it from a retail store and they would credit my account. Worked out, just had to pay a bit more up front.
Yea, this is how i got my phone about 2 weeks ago. They even had a deal where you could get a GS2 for free on another line. It should be the same at every Costco. So i payed 199 for the GS3 and my dad got the GS2 for free. So worth it. Big upgrade from my Mytouch 4G
I order one from target at 199

Now i just gotta wait for ups
Keep in mind that at Costco, they charge you tax on the pre-coupon price, so here in WA, where tax is 9.5% it kinda sucks. But they do have great customer service and free accessories.

This is true, but it's not being calculated from the MSRP either, it's calculated off their reduced wholesale price, which for me in CA, for 16GB SGS3 was $389.99, and that came out to $34 in tax (8.75% tax where I live.) Compare this to T-mobile who wanted to charge me tax off the full $629.99 MSRP, which would have been $55 in tax, and it's still $21 cheaper, even if you can talk t-mobile down to the $199 price.
Cheers
Does anyone know the cheapest place to buy an S3 with contract with T-Mobile in the U.S.? The cheapest I've found is Costco at $179.99
Sent from my GT-P3113 using Tapatalk
So far I think that's the cheapest unless u open a new line tmobile had it for $99 but not sure if the deal is still ongoing. Also check a target store for a limited time it was 160 I think

Buy it from either Wirefly or Newegg, I bought mine from Newegg and I've had a couple issues with the first two I got and their really good with returns and I got my replacements overnighted to me the next day.
If you can wait until Black Friday all the sales will put everyone against each other.
Last year I got my E4GT for a .01 cent sale through Amazon Wireless.

Wal-Mart. $148 on full renewal. Just bought mine last Friday.
Might have to call around to the area Wal-Marts. Only about half seem to carry T-Mobile contract phones.
Got mine for $179.99 with a MIR for $50 - drops it down to $129.99. It was done over the phone though, but no upgrade fees or anything like that.
Just ordered my Note 2 from LetsTalk.com for 206.99
They have a sale on it for 229.99 until 12/31
Plus I added a coupon code at checkout for 10% off which was another -23.00
For a total of 206.99
The coupon code is: TALK4TEN
Also my upgrade isn't available until 1/1/13, but I was able to have my order placed on hold until then for the same price, just had to chat with a rep.
Amazon Wireless $149.99 with a new 2 year contract. They did had it for $99 last week.
Currently it's on backorder 1-2 weeks with amazon. That price is only for new lines, not upgrades, upgrades is still 199.99. LetsTalk has it in stock. Either way, still a much better price than through sprint.
Also no tax for a lot of states, which is a savings of another $60~ish for most states, as new lines and upgrades tend to charge the tax on the retail price of the device.

It may say backorder but amazon usually ships within 3 to 4 days, on top of that bb will price match online retailers and to me getting it locally is always better. Also I've had good experience with geek squad warranty.

best buy will price match amazon wireless. I got my phone from best buy last week. I had a $100 gift card i wanted to use. They priced matched the upgrade price of 199.99. after the gift card it was about 112 out the door. Cant beat that price for a new note 2.

I was lucky enough to have my bb price match it at 150 and then at 99 and mine was a renewal. I just got lucky they weren't strict about it.

Like its been said before, even with their expected dates being couple weeks they usually ship within couple days. Plenty of people have reported this on several forums. Plus you can always check if your local bb will price match the new price on a renewal something that a lot of bb stores have been matching.
