Get your upgrade early...

I was able to get my upgrade early by buying out the last 6 months of my contract. it cost me 65 bucks that they bill to the account.
Radio shack has a deal right now on the nexus for 199 but you get 100 off when you trade in a old smartphone.
I ask the guy if there going to do the same with the sg3 and this is what he told me. after the first two weeks of sg3 sales there going to offer the same deal around the first week in july. I'm guessing the sunday ad will have it that 2nd sunday in july.
so I bought the nexus and got my 100 bucks off so it was only 99.99. he then had me come back today and return it but was able to transfer the credit to my pre order of the sg3. bam sg3 99 bucks LOVE IT.... but yeah now I have to wait for it.
Hope it works for anyone who try's.

Badassss info! Do you know the max amount of months they will let u buy out????

Early Buyout has been going on for a while now.

I can confirm that. Sprint told me the same thing when I called to turn on caller ID blocking since they are now wanting to disclose your full name on caller ID instead of just your number.

For those of you who have done this, is it as simple as calling Sprint, buying the rest of your contract time, and then somewhere like a radio shack or best buy having it in their system that you are upgrade eligible?

I bought mine out. It had 13 or so months left on it. $135 that will be billed to my next Sprint bill.
When you call make sure to ask for account services. Otherwise you'll be bounced all over the place.
Hell of a deal considering I just sold my Epic 4G touch for 350 on craigs.
220+135+35 activation fee = 370. I got my phone for 40 bucks outta pocket YaY

I bought out my contract for $45 bucks

I think I'm in the $125 range (eligible for upgrade May 2013), if I buy out the rest of my contract now do I have to upgrade immediately or can I let it ride awhile and see what I want to do?

why not let a few months go buy and drop to a lower tier then?

My original upgrade before the $45 buyout was August 1st. They told me if I don't upgrade early by that date, they would refund the $45. Hope that helps.

Do you know when this is supposed to start?

I saw the note 2 on walmart.com for $139.99

But this is for new customers only...
My contract has been up since october but I'm under my uncles account, so would I be able to create an account and just port my number over?
Also, I believe Best Buy will pricematch anything on walmart.com till the 31st...so people who really will sign up for the first time, I believe this will be the cheapest route..I've never seen it so low lol
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda app-developers app

when exactly did you see this and what zip code did you use? When I do a search theydont show the price. Meaning if Best Buy cant confirm the price its a no go. Ironically they show prices on other phones but when I use my zip it shows no available which means I need a zip code that shows a state that has them... Mine is in transit from BB after returning it back to Sprint Store for $50 less at Best But THEN of couse I see this. Not too late though since I havent even received it yet
Thanks

I wouldn't worry about the shipping time for Amazon. I just switched from Verizon to Sprint because of this Amazon deal for $99 and it originally said 1-2 week wait. On Dec 27 looked at my account and it said that it wouldn't ship until Feb 4th, the next day I received an email stating it was shipped and was here 2 days later.
I'm so glad I got this phone for $99, makes the sting of not having 4G any more better since this phone is fast as hell. Now I just need to sell my VZW Nexus.

Best buy denied me! No online only price match.

They can't deny online price, they can only deny the new price for a renewal. I would go back and if they still say no talk to the store manager and if still nothing then call the 1800 number. The online price match is a best buy policy that may be extended for the rest of the year. My local store said if they take it away they will still honor it. Good luck and don't just let them do whatever they want. Fight for it.
Sent from my Amazing Galaxy Note 2!

I would buy it from walmart.com, especially if you live in a state like my state (CA) that charges prices on the full retail amount of the phone before discounts. a phone like the Note 2 is easilly a $50+ tax, but on walmart.com, they don't charge tax so it's $139 out the door. I bought mine last month when it was $199 ($299-$100 walmart gift card) and was charged no tax on the phone.

HTC One Mid Night Release Online?

I plan on purchasing my HTC One M8 online at tmobile.com
It will be my first time making a purchase from the online store on tmobile.com, does anyone know at about what time will TMobile put the phone up for sale on the website?
Will it be at midnight? Or will it be around 8-9AM similar to the time retail stores open?

Why not just go to the store tomorrow?
Sent from my SGH-M919 using Tapatalk 2

Especially since you would have to wait for shipping

No point on ordering it on line and wait for a Monday shipping. I'll be in line at the store at 10am

My work hours are 14 hour shifts and store will be closed by the time I get off. I work Fri Sat Sun LOL will be Monday when Im off again.
If I do over night shipping I can have it on my door step saturday if im lucky or Monday morning.
Which is why im wondering if the phone will be up for sale tonight at midnight.
Has anyone bought a 0day phone online before from tmobile.com?

Stores by me are all opening at 8, probably for the S5 also.

Its not on the site yet.... 1am EST....

Chose the expedite shipping for $24.95 cause I can't wait, ETA is 4/14.:good::good:

I chose Saturday delivery which was 24.99 so I hope i get it tomorrow since I will be at work all 14 hours today!

I was the second at my Tmo store and there other person was getting a GS5, people that walked in after me were getting the GS5 and there were a couple samsung reps there. I was like y'all need to chill. The samsung rep asked me why I was getting the M8 and I was like it's 90% metal, I don't like plastic. He smiled and walked away hahahahhahaha

Just got mine! Loving the 3D camera mode.

I can confirm that WeakSauce does not work on this device because we don't have /system/lib/libdm-systemaccess.so on our devices.
That's okay, because HTC Dev will generate a bootloader unlock code for the device, so you can unlock the bootloader and root that way.

Pixel XL 128gb availability?

Does anyone know when they're going to be available to order again? I've been on Googles waitlist for awhile now, there's no ETA. and i sent them an email yesterday and they replied back with this..
Hi Jeremy,
Thanks for getting in touch with Google.
I understand that you'd like to purchase a new Pixel phone. I know how curious you would be right now, however, as the system states, you'd have to wait till the product is delivered to you. The shipping is based on the location, area and the type of city you're in. We don't have information about the shipping of an order. It's based on the Estimated delivery date issued to you. As you've already got the information about the delivery, that is the best date we could give you at the moment.
I wish we had any additional facilities, however, as the company has its own policies, we wouldn't be able to deliver the product to you in short period of time.
I hope you understand our limitations.
If you have any more questions, please reply to this email. I'm happy to help!
Thanks!
Mike A

I have a feeling I'm gonna run out of time with the note 7 and wanted to go with the xl, but i can't wait forever.
Anyone have any insight?

Check nowinstock website and run the page refresh extension with "out of stock" phrase alert.
They've had them available for ordering on and off every week. They had many last week, in stock lasted for days.

Good news, I did google chat with a product specialist and they checked the warehouse and said the Pixel XL will be back in stock at some point in time before this week ends (when it happens it will probably sell out again, so pay close attention to it)

Shouldn't i get a notification from them that they're back in Stock if I'm in the waiting list?

Hopefully that means Verizon will be getting an influx of XL's too. I'm starting to worry that I won't get my preorder before I go on vacation in December.

Gotcha. I got mine ordered. The way you posted it made me think you were copying and pasting it from somewhere

I order my pixel xl around November 5th~8th (can't remember when exactly) and google told me it would be delivered at around December 15th-19th. Today I got an email that they've already sent it and that it coming till the 22th. I signed for the accidental protection deal cuz I'm not a careful person :S I hope it pays off.

Congratulations!

tried to register on that site (nowinstock) and it told me that they don't accept emails from that provider....It's a gmail!??? oh well...so much for setting an alert. looking for a Quite Black 128gb XL... manual refreshed it is...
EDIT: Got it figured out. col site, never knew it existed...

Does anyone have any idea why it takes so long to restock these phones? Why are not cargo ships full of them unloading every day? I would guess some component is in short supply?
And an observation, why did google make a useless 32G model with no expansion slot? If they made a 64G and 128G model there would be a lot less problems. Of course most people would probably buy the 64G model and they would not get to sell the $100 upgrade.

Anyone Received The $50 Credit?

Sooo, I didn't think I was getting this, but I got an email saying I was eligible last week. Anyway, this week will be 4 weeks since I received my phone. I'm hoping to get it by next week in case Google has any black friday/cyber Monday deals.
Anyone gotten the credit yet?

still waiting for this crap

Lucky you, I preowned and I am not eligible for a stupid reason. I can't even find the deal anymore to see why. Big disappointment in that.

I takes a few weeks dude. They wait until the return period is over so you don't get a free $50. Last year with the home mini, it was right at 4 weeks if I remember right. So, it should come any day now.

I wouldn't be surprised if they wait the full six weeks in order to get past the Black Friday deals.

Check Google Pay, my credit showed up in the Google Pay app even though I didn't get any email or notification

Yeah! But buy what though?
But what are you all planning to buy with it? So far my options are the Pixel Stand or Skullcandy Riff. Leaning more towards the Riff, good reviews for $50, wireless & assistant too. As for the stand, they aren't that special, just another wireless stand. I see soon more certified and Made for Google wireless chargers coming in the future which could be cheaper than the Pixel stand.
Also, expires this Dec 31. So have to use it before that! So might just go for that Riff.

Does this only apply to those who bought directly from google store?
