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.
Hello XDA:
I'm looking to shop for a Galaxy Note 2, with clean IMEI number, anyone know of a best place to buy it off the contract? I want a brand New in the box etc...
If anyone know, please post the deals in this thread...
Thanks,
I'm sure it will help many people who are looking to buy one.
Went to best buy. Traded in my phone. They paid me about $200 bucks for my phone, and beat Tmobile's price of $319 for the note. Best Buy sold me a note for $219 bucks, and THEN they subtracted the $200 they gave me for my old phone. I walked out with a new note 2 only paying $37.70. (I must make notice that I also purchased their warranty which replaces the phone if ANYTHING bad happens to it *minus theft* and a case, which they also matched the price of another site on and since they didnt have any otter boxes)
All in all, i think Best Buy has the competition beat here, but i please IMPLORE others to post me a better deal....maybe then i can tell them to price match that and they can give me some of my $40 bucks back lol!

I bought mine from a tmobile store owner for 650 cash. The owner had used it for one week and just likes to try all the phones out. Got a free 32gb Samsung card, case, battery and screen protector. Oh ya and some random car charger. Came with a bill of sale and IMEI number on it ^_^

Lol, scott that kinda sounds shady but i believe you. I just was not aware that any corp store could do that. Especially giving the accessories with it.
Kinda makes me wanna think twice about returning my phones next time. I do that alot...and by that, i mean like the guy, buy and try new phones quite a bit...at least, ones they don't end up sending me for free

It was a tmobile store but not an official one. It is called emobile in garden Grove ca. All I wanted was a legitimate bill of sale. I tried ten different people on Craigslist but no one would even give me a bill of sale.

Hey guys,
I'm buying a note 2 on craigslist, so I wanted to know what to check when buying it. Since, I'm going be using it in Canada I don't think it makes a differences if it's blacklisted... Just wanted to know if there's anything specific to check.
Check the bezel for dents, chips, and imperfections. Also check the buttons as a few had sheety home/vol/pwr, and of course the liquid damage indicator. Hope that helps and enjoy your Note !

I also bought mine off craigslist, 2 actually, the first one was factory sealed unopened. att version, paid 480 dollars.. called att and got a unlock code for free.., the second one was used but in great shape, t-mobile brand had box and all accessories for 500. no unlocking as I use t-mobile.
but be leary as some posted on there wanting to meet at an atm at night, that was awfully weird, so didn't follow through.. always meet where you have people, public place restaurant etc.. also be leary of the china copies that will look like the real thing study pics or go to your retailer and look under the batt at the sticker etc.. always test...
I would most definitely download speed test because ther are knock off siii and note ii that looks really good on the surface but can't fool the speed test

I bought a videotron (canadian t889v) one off craigslist also. Picked it up at his house. That way I can always hunt him down. Guy sold it to me for 350 $. Thought for sure he screwed up and it was going to be a note 1 but sure enough note 2 and working perfect.
PS. Cant you just unlock it yourself? There was some code you dial and are able to unlock it. Simple and free. Worked for mine.
Link for unlock. Only worked for me on stock.

I have done some forum reading and have learned a lot from it (I think...) but I still have some remaining questions seeing as some of the posts are old and I'm sure things have changed by now.
Some things I have learned, correct me if I'm wrong.
SGH-i317M:
- Model provided by Bell
- LTE
- Up to 75Mb - 150mb Depending on towers
N7105:
- LTE
- Uses more battery in LTE mode
- Up to 75Mb - 150mb Depending on towers
N7100:
- NOT LTE
- Up to 21Mb to 45Mb Depending on towers
The thing is I live in Fredericton NB Canada and after looking over the Bell Tower Map there are no towers around me that are faster then a 21Mb to 45Mb. and knowing Bell it will be years before there is any here... With that in mind I have come to an unfortunate conclusion that LTE would be useless to me at this time. So I'm thinking of get a N7100. (correct me if I'm making the wrong choice)
The question I have about the N7100 are:
- Will it work with Bell Canada?
- Will it have better Battery life because it doesn't have LTE?
- Any one know where to buy one in Canada?
Thanks in advance for any help you can give!
No Canadian Note 2 users out there?
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T using xda premium
Yes N7100 will work for Canada. As for battery life note 2 already has a big mah capacity. I'm using N7100 with Rogers right now. I got mines locally so prices will vary. But should be in the $600 range

I just went to buy my N7100 at Newegg.ca and now there sold out... They had some yesterday there gos that idea... :crying:
Ok, Enough Crying. What is the current story on SGH-i317M?
For some reason Rogers sell it for $650 but Bell if $730 for the same phone.. What the hell is up with that?
So looks like I'll have to buy the Rogers one, I assume it can be rooted to work on the Bell Network?
What has the ROM action been like as of late for the "SGH-i317M"? I know in older post people where saying there was not much support, is that still the same?
http://www.expansys.ca/samsung-gala...tphone-16gb-gray-unlocked-850-1900-3g-236052/ (It says $675 on front page but its $650 + shipping when u add to cart)
No idea why Bell has a higher price one. Just unlock the phone and it can be used with any of the carriers.
Was just about to order that one from expansys.ca then I seen it is out of stock looks like I'm back to the SGH-i317M again.
You can try this $625 + shipping instock atm lol

Get Bell version if you need lte. Get N7100 if you want better roms.
I got N7100 for the better roms and mods. All data plans suck in Canada. Too small for Lte.

I know about rooting and all that stuff (I rooted my last 2 phone) and I'm sure I'll figure that stuff out later...
but, I have never bought a "Unlocked" phone before dose that mean I can just place my old SIM from my SGS2 (that I will cut down with tin snips :good . in the N7100 and it will just work? or will I have to install a cretin ROM or Radio to make it work on my existing Bell Plan?

Yes u can just take out your old SIM card from SGS2, just make sure its MicroSim. No need to install any special ROM/Radio
So... I received the phone today from canadagsm.ca and not only is it the wrong model it's the SGH-i317M (I ordered the N7100) and on top of that it's was USED! It still had some ones old SIM in it... So I'm sending it back, there paying for shipping back (we will see if that happens...) And they said they will send me the right phone "IF" they have it. other wise they will give me a refund. I think I should just get a refund ether way I don't trust them at all now, and I would recommend no one buys from them. I see other people in the internet saying they got used phones from them too.

It's not you fault I should have gone with my Gut and not my Heart. My Gut said "This company looks sketchy" and my heart just wanted the phone.
I have now called them 3+ times in the past 9 hours and it is always the same lady on the phone and she always sounds frantic. Like her world is crashing around her (witch it will be if I don't get 100% of my money back..) she keeps saying she will email me a shipping label but it has been over 8 hours and still nothing...
If I had to guess I would bet that this company is actually a Cell Booth in a Mall and they are selling refurbished phones as new ones (and for the same price as new ones!) and are also doing online internet sales too.
Looks like I'll be waiting a lot longer for my phone now then I wanted :crying:
They sent me a return shipping label! Fingers crossed :fingers-crossed: I get my money back. I still don't trust them...
I see Newegg.ca got the N7100 back in, I just ordered one from them. I have ordered many times from Newegg and they have always been good and safe.
If you are in lte area, i317 definitely worth for speed.
But Samsung canada sucks over updates.
Not even multiwindow update has been released.
If you are not in Lte area, N7100 is best option, considering battery life and on time updates.
Note 2 rocks.

I got my n7100 from expansys.ca and use it on the Virgin Mobile network (Bell). To be honest, I don't care for lte as data plans are so small and I consume over 60gb of data per month on my phone, so the advantages of s faster Internet are hampered by a small bandwidth allowance.

I shiped out my Phone on Monday. They received it on Wednesday and Paypal sent me an Email saying there is a Pending Refund from them for the FULL amount! I have to wait till next Friday to make sure I get the money, but it's looking really good so far! Thank goodness, that is a lot of money to be out, the wife would kill me. :crying:
I got my N7100 from Newegg yesterday and it is awesome! Thanks you Newegg for not trying to scamming me!
I cut down my BELL Sim Card with tin-snips and a box cutter, put it in and everything worked! Things are really starting to look up. I also got the update for dual screen witch the Canadian phones don't even have yet.
I never rooted it yet. (no need to where everything worked) but there are some things I don't like, that rooting might change so I might in the not to far future.
I'd like to thanks everyone for there help. I'm sure you'll hear from me soon enough with more questions.
I've been searching for one for a while now, but I can't find anything. Samsung told me I had to get one through Verizon, and Verizon said I have to get one through Sammy. Unless they aren't selling them anymore, someone has something backwards. Do you guys know where I can snag one up if they are still for sale?
When I called on Thursday they said they are no longer available. But someone stated they had 83 units left. I found one online used and just pulled the trigger.... Getting sick of my iphone.....
Bummer. I've been looking online for a while now, no such luck though.

Just went through the same thing. Samsung's help was just about worthless. I was continually told Samsung doesn't sell phones directly. Finally went through the business department. Because the phone was shown on their site but not available as of 8-7-15, the business rep first tried calling the warehouse to see if anyone knew if it would be available in the future. He got no definite answer. He was going to send an email to corporate and let me know when he received a reply. I was told it may take a week for an answer. The issue may be that because the Note 5 was soon coming they may not restock. My problem is that from I can see from Note 5 leaks, the phone may not have the features I want, ie. removable battery and sd card. Because I like my Note 4 and it has a verifiable good root for the developers edition, I was going in that direction. Two months ago, I had a chance to buy the de phone from Samsung. I was certain that the team at xda would get root and held off. Boy am I sorry for not buying when it was available. Well, we can only hope that our team here will get this working on our retail versions.
I'm looking at selling off my mint DE version since I'm leaving my Unlimited Verizon account. Is Swappa still a good way to get the most resale for now a "unicorn" like the VZ Note 4 DE? Was considering that or eBay, but worried about eBay hassles. I'll then pick up a T-Mobile Note 4 to put on Cricket.
Can I buy it?

Im waiting for my DE to be approved on Swappa ... its up for grabs, I love the note 4 and everything about it but I want something different. Im actually tired of roms and rooting.

I bought two of these and they arrived today. Seem legit.
EDIT: Wait a sec. This may not be "Unlocked" after all. It doesn't seem to be the right version. I have SMN910VZWE.
Unlocked GSM, not a developer edition. Equates the phone xapable of being used on Verizon or AT&T
