Goodbye...

I called Sprint to buy out the rest of my contract (was eligible for upgrade on Oct. 1st), after about 25 minutes on the phone I agreed to pay $45 and my upgrade date will be reset! I love my E4GT but I just can't resist the new Evo. It's been fun... without the ICS kernel source... with a WVGA screen... but it's time to move on. The Evo is the best phone on any carrier now. I've put up with Sprint's 3G for this long, I suppose I can put up with it for another year. I don't get WiMAX at my house anyway, so it's not like I'm losing much.
Would be funny if they released official ICS/kernel source on the 18th. I'm not worried. I am excited.
Plus, for anyone wondering, try calling and asking about the buyout program! Just make it sound like you've already talked to people at a corporate store, like you KNOW what you're talking about. There's a $119.99 deal at Wirefly for the Evo, I think you get a $10 Google Wallet credit too. After the $36 upgrade fee the phone is only $146! Sure, you don't get it on launch day, but I think saving almost $100 is a good reason to wait an extra two days.

What was the point s2 is so similar. Should wait for nexus jellybean come Nov. You will be begging for jellybean leaks this time next year

Will you be selling your E4GT?

The thing about Wire fly is u can't change the phone on the upgraded line until 6 months after purchase, otherwise they bill u an etf.

He means you can't upgrade your secondary line with the evo, and immediately swap the evo on the primary line. Unless you're six months out from upgrade period. I do that every time with Sprint.

Whoa. You just made me jump off the couch. Do you know about Bank of America's Add it Up for wirefly? if you buy it through the BoA Add it Up link to Wirefly, you also get $50 cash rebate about 4 months later (just to make sure you stick with the phone).
I already preordered from sprint for my girl's line but I can cancel anytime before it's shipped I believe....
Also, $45 buyout for an Oct 1 upgrade? That seems way low. I'm due Sept 1 and that's making me think about it...
And I also think the Evo LTE will be a small step above our SGSII Epic Touch.
Edit. Can you link us to the $119, I'm seeing $149.

The EVO LTE is going to be awesome. I just bought the One X on AT&T and it is a MUCH better phone than the E4GT. Definitely a worthwhile upgrade. I would go back to Sprint for the EVO LTE but there is no Sprint LTE in my area, but with AT&T's I can get 25-28mbps down, and it's everywhere. Can't argue with that lol.

I spent a good amount of time in the At&t store today fapping to the phones. Loving the One X they have.

Don't get the white one

Can you expand on this a little bit? I have a BOA CC already. From looking on the add it up site i see you only get 5% cash back on electronics. Can you post any info you have on this $50 cash rebate?
Shoot I went from canceling my 199$ preorder with Sprint, to Best Buy (149.99)and now finally wirefly at 119$. I am more than happy to save another 50$ on the phone, and end up paying $70.
Although I have a feeling paying $70 might be a pipe dream.

This won't work for those of us trying to upgrade, however.
But I may try to print this out and take it to Best Buy and see if they will price match (not knowing that it's only for new customers).

Yes, Walmart usually is between $50 and $100 cheaper. I tried to upgrade to the Note II through them, but when I added it as an upgrade the system told me the quantity in my cart was more than allowed and kinda froze there. I don't know if it was a system glitch or what. But I assume you'll eventually be able to upgrade through Walmart.
Note, last time I upgraded through Walmart (to Galaxy S II) my data plan got removed all together. I had to call AT&T to get my grandfathered unlimited Data back. My recommendation is to call AT&T after any upgrade and make sure your plan has not changed. Upon upgrading to the not II through AT&T my $5 for 200 text messaging plan (no longer offered) was removed and I had not text capability at all. I had to call them get it back.

I purchased the Note 2 from ATT on Friday. Today I see that Walmart has it for 250, so I chatted with the ATT rep and got them to price match it and they will credit me $50 back into my account and got the activation fee waved as well. Only been with ATT for 2 days and I already like their CS. Good bye Sprint, you wont be missed

yeah. i getting tired of calling att to save that 50$. called 3 times, no deal at 199$ !

Called CS to get $50.00 credit to my account but before she did, she gave me a big stink on how ATT does not match competitors prices and that was a one time

I didn't get that. It's like all businesses. They don't like to give much away lol

I bought mine last Friday adding a new line and paid 300.00 think I will give them a call and see if I can get something back since I have both notes hopefully I can get the 100.00 and activation fee back...

Ordered mine yesterday, be polite, tried 3 times, the last one I talked to tried to accomodate me, and I even requested the upgrade fee waived. And by the way, I am not yet due for an upgrade. so Early upgrade, note 2, and waived fee. I tried to have them match the S3 on Bestbuy and Samsclub, they said no and just go to the store on Black Friday.

I tried to price match T-Mobile at $49.00, called twice, second time to premier, no deal.
Got it for $199.00 on a 3rd call very easily, just said: "Look, the reason I'm calling is, a couple of friends on this enthusiast forum got a great deal for $199, what can you do for me?" She said she would talk to her manager, did it, and they accepted. Without me asking, they waivered activation fee and gave me free premier shipping, but it should be shipping on Tuesday only (asked for the White Note II).
So I'm very happy with this, can't wait. Hopefully before thanksgiving I'll have my new phone!

Got note 2 white 249 $ best buy mobile with code. Called att premium and they would not match this price. So they loose the sale and good will.
Best buy mobile ebay had the discount best buy mobile from site didn't. Only hitch I had to call for a closer store pickup.
They had an open box phone waiting at the store which I declined. To swap it for an unopened box they had to return the phone and discount the new one.
Bottom line they can do whatever they want only if they want to and you're nice to them.

There are two "equal" deals . You probably selected 249.99 with new account. There is absolutly the same $249.99 deal for upgrade. Both are sweetened with $100 e-gift card for Walmart today so final price $149.99+tax

According to the fine print it is for new and qualified upgrades. The eGift Card will be mailed out by the second week of January though.

I tried getting att to match the offer but no go. Fortunately I was able to upgrade my line through walmart without ay changes to my family and data plan Total came out at 249 with 100 gift card = price hard to beat. So excited to be a new note 2 owner!

I bought a Note II and a galaxy SIII from Walmart Wednesday. 2 dang days early. .

Hope it still is $249 tomorrow. i got mine at best buy today for $299. they won't match the $100 gift card, but I would rather have best buy's black tie protection and i used their buy back program to trade back my Note - got $300 for that

Called ATT for a price match they successfully gave it to me..I already called a week ago and said I seen it at best buy for 199 so they gave me credit for 100 bucks...I read this thread wrong....at first I thought it said 149.00 so I called ATT again Today.and said wallmart has it for 149.00 and a 100 gift card..sure enough I had to speak to a supervisor and got credit for 50 bucks..to equal 149.00 total cost. Then just read this and it said wallmartS price was 249....opps...lmao
So I learned they must not check..because I was wrong and still got the price match..lol.

Went and upgraded both my phone and my son's phones today. Got myself the Note II and my son HTC's One X+. Hell of a deal. Had to order them online since the local stores didn't carry them at all and of course they are both backordered, but at least I didn't have to pay any sales tax since the outfit was out of state. Not bad paying $399.98 total for two top of the line phones and with getting $200 back in gift cards makes it a steal as far as I'm concerned. Will likely have to deal with the typical screw ups of Walmart messing up data plans and such with AT&T next week but that's a small price to pay and one I've never had and issue getting cleared up. I've ordered my phones from Walmart the last several times and they always seem to get something wrong. But they have great prices so I keep going back.

Buy now or later?

I know I'm getting the Note 3, it is just a matter of when. I dont necessarily want to pay $704 for a phone, but I just sold my Note 2 and am running on a basic phone (not fun). On one hand, i really would like a new phone to ensure quality but I also am okay with waiting a few weeks. Do you guys think I should just bite the bullet and buy it or wait a few weeks and pick up one from ebay, craigslist or swappa? Will prices even be that different after a few weeks? Thanks

I wouldn't buy from Craigslist or swappa. Too much risk. They work for one month, person stops making payments, then bad imei. If you do buy, go through reputable sources.

Because of the EIP, I would say T-Mobile (or any authorized stores) would be the safest place to buy. The used market is too risky now because of the EIP T-Mobile started.
But, I do have one suggestion if you do buy it off of Craigslist. Meet at a T-Mobile store and if it's possible, have a T-Mobile rep confirm that the specific phone has been paid off. If the seller is legit, then he would have no problems doing this for you.

Sign up for Jump and you can give back your phone and get another new one in 6 months. Any payments remaining on your old one go away and you start over with payments on the new one. That's why the zero down is a great deal. You won't be out the $199 down payment that some people paid if they pre-ordered before today. I believe Jump is only available on the Simple Choice plans. Not available if you're on Monthly 4G I think. It costs $10 per month and doubles as phone insurance also.

What is the difference between ordering the phone at Best buy vs Sprint corporate? Will I still get the same service and support with sprint if I upgrade with Best Buy? I've always wondered this and bought my phones directly from sprint. With the current pricing at Sprint, seems like BB is definitely the better way to go.
I am on a 1600 minute, unlimited texting and data family plan with TEP insurance if it matters.

If you buy from third parties like best buy, sprint will charge u 50 bucks on your account (according to a sprint rep)

I have upgraded through Best Buy and Amazon in the past. Your plan with Sprint does not change. Your Sprint Service/Support does not change. You have the ability to add TEP to your new phone (you may have to call Sprint to do this, but you have a window of time - i think 30 days - to add TEP to any phone).
The only thing I would be wary of is if you are in a grandfathered plan like SERO. Then you need to deal with Sprint directly.
I have never been charged extra by Sprint by going with a 3rd-party. The only possible extra fee (on top of the phone cost) is a $36 activation fee that Sprint charges, as well. Even if Sprint didn't charge this, Best Buy still comes out ahead.

I wonder what the chances are Best Buy will ship earlier or later than Sprint?

As an FYI, I was not able to get the order to process on BestBuy.com, or through the 1-800-BestBuy. I had to go in-store to preorder. And even then, I had to work it out with the mobile manager to get the $50 gift card offer.
Now, that pre-order doesn't commit me to the device, as I haven't actually paid for it yet. So if anyone has any success with BestBuy.com, please let me know!!

My pre-order just seemed to go through smoothly!
And I can confirm you'll have to pay a $36 activation fee with Sprint (not payed with the Best Buy order).

Upgrade. About 5 months late actually, I could have upgraded back in July. Now I have to decide what I do with my old Galaxy S2...

At what point did your order processing fail? Maybe a problem with the "Submit to Sprint" part, or something with your browser? or just bad luck lol
