Best Buy

I went in to best but today and picked up one if the best buy mobile magazines. I saw a picture of the Galaxy Nexus saying it was coming to Verizon but it was called the Nexus Prime in the magazine. It was priced $299 on contract and $799 without

That $799 off contract is just... wrong. And the Nexus Prime thing is an obvious placeholder. Why not take the magazine and give a pic to us?

LMAO @ the $799. that's why i don't do business with verizon. the big red are crooks and a half. and then some. and what's sad is people are being robbed willingly.

$799?! Ouch! I was going to wait until Best Buy or other US vendors get the GSM/HSPA+ version. But I may as well get one for $700 at Handtec right now.

I believe the $799 pricing is unsubsidized. It also says the rezound is $799 off contract which we know from vzw it is $649.99.

Edit: ^ beat me to it

The 799 is the best buy price. It's always been that high for a non-contracted phone. To give you an example: Sprint has the EPIC 4G TOUCH S2 for $499 while best buy charges $699. But their subsidized pricing matches all carriers. and they even price match against all carriers.

$799.
wtf

Interesting. As long as it comes out before January 25th

$654.00 - the cheapest?

Looking to get my hands on another Nexus after mine slipped and fell into the ocean last night. Too much liquor I suppose... You guys know anywhere cheaper than here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/browse.html?ie=UTF8&marketplaceID=ATVPDKIKX0DER&me=A1QPS08K9FKKNF

I ordered mine from here but it was $10 more when I bought it. Fast shipping and what I got was a brand new condition unit with all accessories. Nothing wrong with it whatsoever that I can tell.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Open-Box-Un...Cell_Phones&hash=item20c0b65166#ht_1264wt_905
I don't think you'll find them any cheaper. But if you want it you'd better hurry as there are only 4 left in stock and they sell em fast.

Pay the extra and get from negri or expansys so you have warranty. If you buy from Amazon or newegg you'll only have the return or maybe just exchange period as your warranty.

OK, I exaggerated. You get 15 days of warranty where you can exchange the phone. After that, you're left with a likely UK phone in the US trying to get support from Samsung. Ain't happening.

Still try again. Some of us ordered from expansys and negri for a reason. We might have to wait but we have warranty. Cheaper is not always better in this case. Thats why coreyl is laying down awesome customer service in the expansys thread.

Also because of expansys's exceptional customer service i am going to order my car dock from them. They goofed on some orders and coreyl went above and beyond making up for it. Ordering a couple accessories at a premium is the only other way to thank them.

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

Google said it will be available in the US starting Tuesday. Canada, UK, Australia and others will be available in the coming weeks. Noone really knows when. I am hoping before September. But I have no idea.

Agreed, but I am not surprised. I mean Chromebooks have only been available here in Canada for only a couple months. They were released back in 2009/2010. Also the white Nexus 4 was never offered on the Play Store here like it was in the US either.

From my understanding it was available early in the US through Amazon with next day shipping available as well. Other videos you watched were probably from larger tech review sites that were at the Google event and received a free device to review.

Yeah, the 30th was the release date. Though Best Buy and Walmart started selling them early, soon after the device appeared on Amazon and could be shipped with next day. Eventually I believe Google added it to the Play Store, and I can only assume they told everyone to just sell the things.
I got mine at Best Buy yesterday evening. They had 4 left when i got there.

If people wants abseloutely the device, b&h can offer the shipping to canada.

Well I've already ordered a keyboard dock for the asus tf101 from them and never got an issue. Thing is, if you use purolator ground from them, you will already pay all taxes and brokerage so you should have no issue.
Here's their purolator ground explaination:
B&H offers ground service into Canada via Purolator. To expedite the entry and customs process, B&H consolidates all Purolator shipments daily into Canada. When shipping with Purolator, B&H is the Importer of Record as a Non-Residential Importer (NRI) into Canada. Duties and Taxes are therefore the responsibility of, and are paid by, B&H Photo. B&H will charge the customer a fee equivalent to the duties, tax, and other applicable cross border fees at the time of order. Once you have paid B&H Photo, your merchandise will be delivered to you without interruption.
All orders are imported to Canada as casual goods and are subjected to Provincial Sales Tax (PST). If you are a business or corporation or otherwise exempt from duties/tax, please contact the B&H customer service department to obtain documentation to file a claim for reimbursement.

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.
