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.

I attached pics
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

[Q] is Tmobile SGS2 worth it?

Walmart don't have it and I ain't doing any online retailer. Anybody that's paid the up front $289 think it's worth it?

Yes.
10chars

I paid $529 up front cuz I didnt want contract. This BEAST is worth every penny! Just need to root this baby to unlock its full potential.

I personally didn't see an omfg difference from my hd2 really. If anything, the most noticeable difference will stem from browsing and that is likely due to the increased sinternet speeds than CPU speeds. If you have a 1ghz device already, I say hold on till the summer. 2ghz phones and ICS are on their way already. I consider these phones to be stepping stones that is IF you can wait

yes
10 char

So far it is worth it.. I came from a g2x and sensation

No, my total was $341 but I will get $50 back in the mail, so total was $291

I went in expecting full price. I changed my plan to a new one and walked out paying 326 after tax. I just downgraded to a nexus s 6 months ago.

i was on an old plan that they no longer offered. i jumped up to 1000 minute, uliimited text, and 2gb data. ====phone for cheaper i guess

It is worth it. I went to the corperate store and paid $327 with a pack of screen protectors. Tbh, i feel this kills the sensation and am glad it returned that dust ridin thing. I dont even miss the qhd.

You sure they didn't renew your contract ?? I was going over my receipt and they renewed mine without asking me. I paid $529 aswell because i didn't want to renew my contract. Can you confirm plz? thanx.

Look on Craig's list just got a new one for 450 no tax... some people are getting multiple and trying to flip them quick

"FREE" causes a lot of issues with a lot of consumers, mostly with expectations. Plus, the "freebie hunter" crowds, the kind that will bring 50 coupons to the grocery checkout aisle and buy groupons to places that they already go to every week (and are cheap to begin with) are horrible customers.
Just adding the penny makes a world of difference.

You can't do that can you?

Yes. You're entitled to return your device if you're not satisfied with it within a particular period.
Just make sure that they cancel your contract as well.

Amazon has been pretty nice with their return policy, I have returned items that doesn't have issues but I wasn't happy with. I just wrap up everything neatly as possible and usually get full refund minus shipping.
I know there are many people on contract, but for me I wouldn't even pay 1 cent and enter two years contracts. You have to pay double ETF if you need to change carrier, one to Amazon and one to the Carrier.
Early Termination Fee (ETF)
If I terminate this Agreement before the end of my Commitment, I will pay an ETF of up to $325 if purchasing certain specified Equipment (e.g., Smartphones) OR up to $150 for other Equipment for each tel. no. associated with my service as indicated in the Terms of Service.

New TMo Zero Down Promo

Not bad...Starts tomorrow for a limited time
http://www.dailytech.com/TMobiles+Z...Smartphones+Starting+July+27/article33052.htm

I love you t-mobile
YOU KEEP GETTING BETTER AND BETTER.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S2NYT8uV_VQ

No zero down mean you don't need to pay for it now. So instead of making you have down payment right now they put that payment toward the monthly payment plan.
Say you want S4, instead of 150 down and 20x24 totaling 630, you pay 0 down and 25x24 total of 600. $30 saving. Not bad. .
But phone like HTC one, you'll be paying 0 down and 25x24 total 600 instead of 80 down (Web)and 20x24 total of 560 normally. Cost you $40 more.
Over all tmobile is being aggressive lately. .

The only part I like is that it saves money on the S4 and that if you do Jump it can save you money there to if you like to buy a new phone every 6 month's.

Yeah I'm currently on Verizon and I'm highly considering switching my lines over soon with the 0$ down thing. Need to get off this Capitalist carrier lol

That's annoying as hell.
I just talked to a Loyalty rep this afternoon to change plans and waive fees, who told me about this promotion. I asked him three separate times if the lack of down payment came back on the back end, by either increasing monthly payments or adding months, and every time he told me, No, it's $20 for 24 months.
I'm getting my Note II tomorrow, and I guess I'll see what happens with my next bill.

Do keep in mind that the only way to get the phone for zero down is to be "well qualified" if you had a deposit at start of service then you should have a discounted down payment

Also depends on which state you're in. I'm in California so I pay tax on the full retail price of the phone. Oregon I believe pays no tax. Just really all depends on the state

I switched from sprint a wk ago and went in this morning and was refunded $150 for one s4 and $150 bill credit for another. Also u have to b in the "A or B" credit bracket in order to qualify for the zero down. And for each line u open there is still a $50 charge for taxes. So 4 lines is $200 plus $10 per sim kit (new costomers).
I think thats about right.

Not at all except for the wait. They r very slow at my store. BUT... When they refund the money u will get the$50 tax per phone back as well. BUT.. u will have to pay that back up front. Ull receive the refund 48-72 business days later.

Yes you do pay extra on the back end for it being no money down, but a lot of people do not want to pay a dime upfront so for them, this is good.

I recently purchased a blue HTC One at Best Buy the other day. Had them on sale for $49.99 with new 2-year agreement. What I did was add a new line to get it at that price. Going to sell my S4 and then canceling the old line and paying the ETF with what I get for the S4. I'm midway through previous contract on old line, so the fee should only be about $230. Only thing that sucks, is that I have to tell everyone I know I have a new #. I could probably switch the numbers on the phones, but ETF would higher canceling the new line. Plus I don't think they would let me get away without paying some kind of fee if I canceled the new line because I got a brand new phone out of it. Anyhow, paying ~$300 for a new HTC One this way is a lot better than paying upwards of $600-$700 IMO.

doubt it, by cancelling that line, you give up that number and it automatically is pulled from circulation for a period of time.
