Did I get a good price?

I bought this phone off of the CEO of Canpar (Huge shipping company), Phone is spotless, its the blue version, 32 gb. He even left me all of his photos, facebook and even private credit cards (Do'H), Also a 4gb Micro SD and his SIM card. I bought it for $380 + $20 for him to drop it off. Came with 2 otterboxes.
Im just wondering if I have gotten a good deal.

Above average I'd say. Many times a semi-desperate person sells it for $300... now just makes sure he didn't report it stolen...eek
EDIT: oh it s 32GB then that's not even though the markup on the 32gb are crazy

I agree about checking for stolen. In fact, before you buy any phone from an individual you should get the IMEI and serial number and call the carrier who branded the phone (if applicable) and/or Samsung to ensure the phone is legit.
32Gb for $300 plus 2 otterboxes? What gives? Was he desperate, did not care, some issue with the phone he could, or did he switch networks and it was Sim Locked? This is where I would be cautious and ask some questions always (carefully of course because it may be they need the money or don't care and you would not want to lose the deal).

[Thoughts] Return the 16GB and get the 32GB when it comes out?

I have the S4 now and love it, but I know for sure when the 32GB comes out I will be going through buyers remorse with the 16GB.
So I have a Note II as a back up, therefore, I'm thinking of returning my S4 16GB before my 20 days is up so that I can just get the 32GB hopefully in a few days. Hey, if it's longer than a few days it won't matter since I have the Note II.
Hmm....I'm sure others are going through a similar dilemma.
UPDATE: RETURNED! --- and VERY HAPPY WITH THE DECISION. 32GB here we come....64GB here we come?

Personally im content with my 16, i have a 32 Micro from my SII that im transfering over. Having things on Sd makes it much easier to transfer to and from the device.

Will this week be the magic week? I hope that it is... 16GB either way you slice it is way too small.

Interesting. I guess we'll just have to take their word for what it's worth. I'm hoping for the best....Because....
I returned my 16GB S4 today and now temporarily back on my Note II. With att making available their 32gb version this week, lets hope for the best with TM making a smart move in not being too far behind.
The S4 is by far TM's best Smartphone hands down. It would make absolutely no sense to only have the 16GB. Right? LOL ...

I think I'll wait a few months after T-Mobile gets the 64gb S4 and trade up, I'm very happy with the one I currently have + a 32gb class 10 Samsung micro-sd card to go with.

I plan to do the same once before my 30 days which start tomorrow when I get the phone & port my AT&T # to TMO. Hopefully, they will have the 32GB before my 30 days but if they don't then I'll use my GN2 until they do.

I just talked to T-Mobile, they say it will be 730$ for the 32 gbs and they will have it this Wednesday... I returned mine but I'm not sure if dropping another 100 would be worth it.

Why pay an extra hundred dollars for 16gb when you can buy a 64gb micro sd for under $60?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I have many app ideas, but don't have the skill or the time to learn how to make an app. if you would like to know an idea and attempt to make one, just message me.

$730 doesn't make a whole lotta sense for double the capacity, considering it's a norm that it's only $50 more for all android phones nowadays. I think the Rep you talked with was mis-informed.

I agree $100 more for the 32gb doesn't make sense & not worth it but I would consider if it was $50 more though. Hopefully this Weds is true.
Lets say Weds is true, can I return mine to a store if they have it, if I bought it over the phone via their Advantage program? I know AT&T you can or do I have to call in?

I would imagine the same...$50 would be awesome, but if you look at the iphone on TM's website, they are in $100 increments. Sucks I know HOWEVER, it's just one of those things (at least to me) where internal memory just comes with a price because it's a need rather than just a want for most. Either way...I'll get it.

I'm asking myself if I can wait it out that long for the 64GB LOL. It's a very hard decision you know Heck, maybe it'll launch at the same time!
Although my back up phone is the Note II (gosh I have to slap myself sometimes, because that's nothing to complain about; some people would dream to have the Note II) I think I'll have less of a "Samsung Galaxy S 4 Remorse" anxiety than I do now with being stuck with the 16GB. ....However.... I'll probably sell my 32GB then to upgrade haha...

Yeah, I think I'm going to do it too because I know for a fact my GF will get annoyed hearing me tell her "I wished I got the 32gb" all the time, LOL. In my case, I just switched to TMO from AT&T & the initial cost was higher than anticipated so I'm just trying to keep the total cost down but the extra 16GB is a need though. So, I'll just bite the bullet & get it if its $100 more but I hope its $50 though.

update us tomorrow whether it's good or bad news. btw, i don't think you can return the phone to store when you bought it from t-mo website or through the phone. you'll need to call them and ask nicely that you wanna exchange the device (with reasons of course), then they'll probably send you a new one and a prepaid label for the return of the old. i had to exchange for the s2 back then, and they allowed me to keep both phones for a few days and then decide which to send back, but can't say they are still doing the same now. good luck either way.

Thanks & will do but I doubt it will be released 2mrw though but stranger things has happened. I'm guessing by end of this month or next. Plus, nothing on twitter yet or any other news source.
I think AT&T has the exclusive in getting all models first then other carriers since hardware is identical.
Before I switched to TMO. I asked what's the return policy if a 32gb were to come out & they told me I can exchange within 30 days. Let's hope they do release it soon or I'll just stick to the 16gb.
I could always resale once 32gb comes out but that will all depend on how much I can sell for. I'm better off keeping it, if I take a big hit.

[Petition] S4 32gb and 64gb

Hey guys !
While I don't want to repeat myself in multiple threads, I created a thread into I9500/I9505 section related to a petition to make Samsung (or retailers) release the 32GB and the 64GB versions. We would like to get your help, as the request is referred to the whole world.
Please sign and share the petition.
Thank you everyone !
Thread link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2282770
Petition link: http://www.change.org/petitions/release-the-samsung-galaxy-s4-with-32-and-64-gb-internal-memory

You do realize that each size jump would increase the price of the phone greatly? It isn't going to be $50 more for 32GB version. It would be at least $100 more for 32GB and probably $250 more for $64GB. That would make the $64GB version close too $900.
Except for iPhones, no carriers would subsidize phones that would cost more than $199 price point after the subsidy this means that you'd be stuck paying for $900+ tax upfront. Only small amount of buyers would do that, especially knowing that all new Samsung phones already have the capability of microSD.

@deaffob: sdcard is not a solution for installing apps.
Between S3 16gb and 32gb it's only $60 difference. Even if will be $80-$100, I don't care. I'm sure this who already signed the petition don't care either. Sdcard is not a solution

While I agree that 16gb and a micro sd is more than enough, not everyone does. He's not asking for opinions so either sign the petition or move along. If some people want more internal storage and are willing to pay more then let them.

It's more about carriers not wanting the larger capacity phones than Samsung releasing them. Doesn't AT&T already have the 32gb version?

Yup I've got the ATT 32gb, but only available in Black... I wanted white oh well...
I'd sign the petition for a white 32 or 64gb haha.

As @elflip88 said, 8.5 GB is not a solution for everybody. I like to have lots of apps and games installed. You can't install apps on a sdcard and folder mount is not working properly.
I don't ask for suggestions, neither those who signed. We just want that version.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2

I agree with the OP. Having the option for expandable microSD card is nice for music, pictures, and video storage but it is not a solution for games & apps and app data. I feel 32GB should be default. Not every carrier offers unlimited data so cloud storage sucks for people who have a cap on their data plan.

Personally waiting for the 32gb S4. 13 MP camera and apps with only 8 gb of space? Not happening.

Pretty simple. Social network apps and 4 big games. And this on the S3, with 11gb free space
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2

The partition for the OS ,stock software, and future updates on the Galaxy S4 uses 6GB+ of internal memory.
I think that once the stock OS starts taking up close to half of internal memory, its time to start thinking about an upgrade in memory standards.
Apple and HTC both offer 32GB and 64GB models. I don't see why Samsung couldn't at least give the option of more memory for those who want to pay more for it.
With that said, I debloat every phone I get and even with 60+ downloaded apps installed I haven't even filled half of my internal memory and use a 32GB microSD for any media or files.

I had an att prick brag about his 32gb to me in person. I chuckled, and showed him how i made calls over WiFi, then poped my cover and showed him my 64gb microsdxc card,..
"So I still got 32gb internal and can put the 64gb in there!" he says. so i retort, " but your still in contract and paying more monthly then I am even after the TMO financing" -- i watch as he releases an uneasy chuckle as he realizes he is getting boned monthly

Guys, another problem with those 8.5 gb available memory is that not everyone have unlimited data with their plans. I like to save offline music with Google Music and all those is going into internal memory. At least Google should leave us install and save all that music into the sdcard. Then, Google Maps in offline mode have the same problem. I have the S3 but after getting the S4 I don't plan to upgrade a while. I think a 1.9GHz is enough for a phone (my laptop have 2.1 GHz). I don't want to be out of space all the time. I want to get the unlocked S4. I would pay $100 more just to get the 32GB version. Why in South Africa the 32gb S4 is standard, while in Europe and US we all get the 16gb ? Isn't that retarded enough from Samsung ?

they have a wifi calling app now, don't forget, LTE for TMO is still MIA in many places.
The un-carrier plans are ridiculous, so much the FCC required them to change the wording.
149 for 16gb + 20 per month for 24 Months 480, That's 630 for the phone.
Where I live ATT has better penetration, and I get discounts through my Employer, no discount for Tmo, that was enough to make me switch to AT&T.

I pay 80 for 500 mins, unlimited texts, and unlimited DATA, truly unlimited not that cap off at 2gb. I paid 329 down for my phone so I'm only paying 12.5 a month. Will probably pay it off early so I can have a small bill.

I still get a discount too. 15% on plan plus device discounts and accessories. I refer people to tmo all the time and thats additional $$$ per person/ was so I wasn't really paying for service.

Was NOT aware they had wifi calling finally (UMA) - Good, it is about time. Helps take the traffic off their backbone. '
Any clue if the 'RAT' feature is able to be removed from the ATT version?

Another device VZW goes the middle route?

Since HTC wants any sale they can can get, VZW would have no problem getting the 64GB version of the One. Why is it VZW does not offer this like AT&T? With no sd slot, a 64GB seems the best option for non cloud liking, app & media buffs. It took a few months of customer heat before VZW relented in offering the 32GB S4.

because ATT has exclusivity on the 64gb

Such an arrangement for a OEM that needs sales volume seems odd. Is this confirmed? The same was said on the 32GB S4, but was never confirmed though assumed. I could "buy" that one, since Samsung is not exactly hard-up for sales volume. HTC very much is at the moment.

AT&T Promotion

So, AT&T confuses the hell out of me...
Their press release and promo page both say you can get the Gear S2, but if you order anywhere else, they offer the Gear Fit 2... totally different products. On AT&T's website, I cannot find the Gear S2 unless I do a Google search. Even then, it won't let me add it to my cart as it says my plan doesn't qualify. WTF!? I tried chatting in, but the rep told me I can only "upgrade" at a corporate store and not online. I think I'd honestly rather have the Gear S2 vs. the Gear Fit 2, but if I can only get the Gear Fit 2, I'd rather have the MicroSD card. I've just been itching to have a semi-decent watch for work, and not wear my nice Citizen Eco-Drive (I'm in IT at a hospital), which is why I'd rather have the Gear S2. Argh!
Promo Page: https://www.att.com/deals/samsung-galaxy-note7-bundle.html
Press Release: http://about.att.com/story/samsung_galaxy_note7.html
Other than that, I see Target is offering a $100 gift card and the Gear Fit 2 or the 256 GB MicroSD... but it's only letting me choose Silver.
Best Buy has nothing special other than the Gear Fit 2.
Samsung direct offers the Gear Fit 2 or the 256 GB MicroSD card.
Sam's Club offers the Gear Fit 2 or 256 GB MicroSD card plus a $150 gift card.
Costco is unknown at the time... I'm betting they'll do something similar to Sam's Club.
Long story short... I had no plans to upgrade my phone until about April next year, but my LG G3 started giving me the BSoD and it needs to be replaced promptly. I'm excited that the Note 7 is coming out and think it'll be a great [expensive] replacement. I'm honestly choking at the fact of buying a $930 phone (after tax), since I got my G3 for $50 on launch day (thanks Best Buy).

Just got off the phone with ATT. Their promos stink. You can get an S2, 7" Tablet, or second device - catch is - all 3 of their "promos" come with mandatory 2 year plans. I just want the 256 meg card (with no 2-year contract) like the others offer.
Only thing I want to look at is the Next plan where I can at least pay around $30 a month instead of a lump sum.
What I don't know - I've read Samsung (regardless of AT&T) is doing a promo where a choice is the 256 meg chip, but haven't found the details yet.
Edit: Check https://promos.samsungpromotions.com/galaxyoffer for the promo. It's a "limited quantity" thing, and you need a receipt & IEMI numbers off the phone, so I guess it has to wait until you get the device.

The Samsung promo is separate from what AT&T is offering. You can still get your choice of the Fit2, SD card, etc, you just have to process it directly through Samsung. I talked to Samsung promotions today and confirmed this as I felt exactly the same way about ATT's promos sucking...

No, ATT itself is only offering the S2 or some cheap tablet for free in exchange for a 2-year contract. The Gear Fit 2 and 256 GB card are processed through Samsung Promotions online after you get your phone. This is true for all the carriers I think. The exception is a BestBuy purchase which they fulfill at the store at the time of purchase. When you go online to start the redemption process, it asks where you bought your phone from, if BB, then it says you don't need to do anything online because they have a separate agreement with BB for point-of-sale-fulfillment. So, I doubt it's possible to get more than one promo item unless maybe you get the S2 at At&t and something else through Samsung, but I'm not sure if Samsung would have anything to say about that or not.

The "free" devices are $480 ($240 each) in committed wireless services. If you wanted a Gear S2 it's not a bad deal because $240 is only $15.00 more than buying a warrantied new Wi-Fi version. And you'd have cellular connectivity for two years as a bonus. Without this promo the tablet's $0.99 with a two-year data commitment and $240 for a low spec 8" tablet is a tilt. But you can't have one without the other so the deal's not that great (great for AT&T in boosting their post-paid line adds though) unless you were looking for both a watch and 8" tablet anyway.

After talking to a store rep and phone rep I am getting info that Att is doing a Bogo with the Note 7, I don't know if that is for new customers or not but I am thinking about dumping tmobile since we are going to sign up for direct tv. They are also offering to pay my etf for both lines from tmobile as well which I really can't say no to.
The only reason I was with tmobile is the unlocked phones but it looks like samsung is not having that with the note 7 these days. I will confirm this deal later on today after going back to the store and speaking with the rep, if this is true its a sweet deal.

I just did exactly what you're thinking about doing, loved the deal I got with Tmobile but the service pretty much sucked. Got the BOGO. The paying off the phones thing is a little hokey though, so I'm just gonna sell mine. Say you owe 600.00 on your phone to Tmobile. You trade in a phone (required by ATT) and it's worth 300.00. They credit your ATT account 300.00 for the trade and issue a Visa gift card later for 300.00 after you've submitted your final bill.
FYI, I think TMO is offering BOGO tomorrow only.

Sam's Club is offering a $300 gift card for new DIRECTV subscriptions. They're also offering a $150 gift card for pre-ordering a Note7. I don't know if they're combinable with each other or the BOGO but it's worth checking out.
