Just took advantage of the TMobile BOGO on the V30+. I'll also be eligible for the LG $400 prepaid card. That'll pay for the down payments on both devices and T-Mobiles prepaid card will pay off one of the devices. ?
I was considering the same, buy you have to add a new line of service, so I don't have a need for that yet. But this is a great deal!

I was under the impression that if you took advantage of the BOGO offer, you could not use the $400 rebate as well on another LG product. Am I incorrect about that?

I didn't see anything stating the likes of that. The BOGO is through TMobile and the $400 is through LG. 2 separate agreements.

The $400 TOS agreement says you can't use it with the 2nd BOGO phone.
LG is probably financing the carrier deals, so technically it's all through LG?
Read point #2. The second phone in a BOGO deal is not eligible to be purchase #2 for the $400 gift card.
But point #1 says you can buy ANOTHER LG PRODUCT and still qualify for the $400 gift card.
Just can't be a BOGO phone, because you are already getting that FREE. You have to pay full price for TWO devices to get the $400 gift card.

You can only receive one prepaid card. Through LG. That doesn't count on the one from T-Mobile.
That's stating you can't go buy 2 other LG products and get 2 x $400 cards.....?

Read point #2. The 2nd phone may not eligible since you already got it for free (if the BOGO offer is really being done through LG).
But it says an "LG BOGO" offer. You need to make sure the deal through T-Mobile is through T-Mobile or is it really through LG?
I suspect it's through LG. I may be wrong.

This BOGO is through TMobile. That's why TMobile issues the card? Hmm. I've done the BOGO several times with T-Mobile and always received the maugactures promo offer on top of TMobile. IDK. I guess I'll find out soon enough.

I got the impression that the Second BOGO unit can't be treated as purchasing of Second Unit of LG in order to get $400 LG Gift Card as you already treated it as BOGO promo.
But you can buy any other LG product (mobile or electronics) as a Second Purchasing unit, you may also buy the 3rd unit of V30 if you want to, to get $400, I might be wrong , since English is not my first language.
The Wording is confusing but I have ordered from T-Mobile by adding the line

Don't know. The wording is kind of tricky. We will see when I submit mine in 15 days.
OK, just placed order for LG V30 US998 (carrier unlocked version) on B&H website. So, I'll qualify for the $400 gift card from LG when I order the 2nd one -- and I have 45 days from purchase of the 1st device to buy the 2nd device. (You have to buy the 1st device by December 2.) So, if they ship on December 5 (as predicted right now), I'll have this first one in hand in less than 2 weeks.
I don't expect bootloader unlock and root until end of December, maybe into January... If it's 6 weeks like the LG G6, will be mid-January. So, this first one may not be my daily driver, but I can mess around with it.
Then, within 45 days (probably about the time the LG V30 gets root), I'll order the 2nd one and get an even later "manufacture date" (December or even January manufacture date). THAT one will be my phone, and this first one will probably be my wife's. I'll have to order the 2nd one by January 10, if my time limit is 45 days from when I placed the first order.
Another reason I'm waiting to order the 2nd one is LG has not yet officially announced this open market US998 model. So, we don't REALLY know the specs. I'm hoping for a V30+ option... If so, that will be my 2nd LG V30, which I will use as my daily driver. I know B&H Photo has been listing this US998 for like THREE months now (I posted a screenshot in THIS thread in early September), and only in 64GB. But LG has still NOT officially announced this "open market" US998 phone, and no other sites except for B&H list it, even though there WILL be other authorized retailers. I'm hoping for a V30+ surprise when LG does officially announce/release that model.

Damn, I'm jealous.
There are no such kick ass deals in my country.
Looks like the v30 community is well established already.
Enjoy the lgv30s chazzmatt.
Just bought two cheapy cricket lg stylo 3 phones for my kid and a replacement backup phone. Didn't buy it for custom ROMs I bought it because it was $30.... but the phone has virtually zero community.
The stylo 3+ has a small community, but apparently that does not apply.
My 2015 Moto X Pure is finally dying, and I've been eyeballing the LG V30 as a replacement (need an SD card, headphone jack, and flagship specs). But I don't want a carrier-branded phone, since I'm kind of married to my custom roms and Substratum themes. The official U.S. LG V30 website is interesting. If you go there (http://www.lg.com/us/mobile-phones/v30) and click on the BUY NOW button, you get a ton of options for mostly carrier-branded models, and a few interesting "coming soon" options.
The B&H preorder button that's live is for the V30, but there's a shaded out button for the V30+ instead. Amazon has two buttons as well, for the V30 and V30+, but both are still disabled. There's a single V30 option for an "unlocked" model, but it too is disabled for now. Personally, I'm waiting to see the V30+ options from Amazon and B&H. I hope they're the open market versions. I won't place an order until things are better clarified. But I can only hope my trusty Moto holds out until then...

I got everyone beat: used my insurance on a Lumia 950. Paid my $150 deductible for a V30 because they had no more lumias.

You paid $150 + the insurance cost monthly for as long as you've had the phone. Which appears to be 2 years. The cheapest insurance with T-Mobile is $10/month I believe. That's $240. $240 + $150 is $390. Plus however much you paid for the Lumia at that time.
Imagine me at a party.....

I've been looking at the pre-order page on BB to see if the Verizon version was available to pre-order online. Last night the price showed as $299 on contract and not yet available. Today it shows $349 on contract and not yet available. Did they up the price or is this just an error?
Wont let me post a link to it...
crap that isnt good. i was hoping $699 for off contract. crap time to sell more stuff!
still $699 at verizon! yay
Hopefully that is not the price in store as well.
Its still cheaper than verizon considering that they will accept my htc rezound as a trade in phone while verizonwireless will not.
Just hope I get some one who knows how to transfer an upgrade from one phone number to another.
When I pre ordered in store it was 299 better be that when I go to pick it up or there getting a ear full

fyi from what they told me, pre-ordering the phone doesn't mean locking in the price. if the price changed you're responsible for the new price. that's what they told me in store anyway

According to the website, the ATT and Verizon Note 4 variants are listed as $299, the Sprint Note 4 variants are listed as $349. I think its safe to say that our Note 4s are still the same price.
I'll wait until it is cheaper off contract than $700. Can't afford **** that expensive

The Verizon price has been changed back to $299 as it was originally. Part of this past week it was at $349 on the BB website.

What worst is that no more pre order for Verizon note 4 from BestBuy. I went to BB today and their system can't do pre order for Verizon N4 and so is the website, however, you still can preorder note4 with AT&T...
Maybe it's an error in their system?
Up to this day you have not been able to preorder via best buys website.
I preordered my Verizon note 4 (white) last Friday and my wife preordered her Verizon note 4 (also white) yesterday (Monday) without any issues. The phone is $299, $100 after trading in ANY working smart phone that isn't damaged (cracked screen, turns on, no water damage). There is NO minimum trade in value required unlike the Samsung promotion ($10 minimum value). They make you buy a $50 gift card as a "place holder" for the phone, you have 48 hours to pick up the phone after it arrives otherwise they will sell it to someone else. All gift cards purchased (the $50 place holder) and the $200 one you receive for trading in a phone, can all be used toward the purchase of the phone immediately.
I have spoke to the store manager, customer service, the Verizon and Samsung reps at the store. The customer service rep did say you need to bring in the charger for it, the others did not say that. I'm going to bring mine in either way. I also took their names down in case they try to pull a fast one. I suggest anyone else does the same so there are no surprises when the phone arrives.
Good luck
I'll put chargers in my car, but I'm not bringing them in unless they make noise about it. My store just said charged working phones without water or cracked screen damage.
Based on 6.5% sales taxes.
Unfortunately part of the deal ends today.
This is what I did:
I paid full price for the phone because I am a current customer; $598.80 plus tax.
My total payment in the store was $589.73 after tax because I traded my Nexus 4 for $48.
Next step; called customer service so I could get a credit in to my account of $60, which is the online discount that T-Mobile is offering right now. Tough work but it tuned out fine.
Submitted my claim for the promotional offer in the LG official website where they are giving an $100 Visa prepaid card. Promotion ends today 12/14/2014.
Find out that AT&T was offering $55 for my Nexus 4 trade. Just because of that I will be getting another $50 credited in to my account. T-Mobile courtesy.
I am patient and very cheap lol
You can submit your claim for the $100 prepaid card up to “no later than midnight PST on 1/16/15”. So technically you have until then, because you can always play with the scanner and change dates on the bill.

Turns out that I got the phone for $17 cheaper than title said. T-Mobile pays you $50 + the difference on the trade price of the competitor. Good to know!
How are you guys changing the date on the sales receipt from the phone?

Hey guys, I am just wondering if I should go with the AT&T Model or the unlocked model. I will be using this on AT&T and already know that the h815 has the same bands. I just want to know if that is a good choice or if I should wait until the 5th
The 815 who knows when the bootloader will be unlocked on ATT model. Carrier phones you have to delete all the carrier iq crap and bloat software. Ordered a 815 on eBay can not wait to get rid this one m8.

I have a T-Mobile H811 that I am returning. Put myself on the list to get an H810 from AT&T when it's released, however after seeing this thread I decided to pay the extra $60 (AT&T phone is $620, H815 on EBay is $680) and just get the fully unlocked H815. The only difference in bands I saw was that the H810 has but the H815 does not is the LTE 2300 band. H815, otherwise, has others.
Here is a screenshot comparing the bands from the website PhoneMore.com.

But then you don't get the 100 dollar best buy card or the lg freebies. So that's at least another 30 bucks worth. So that 660 - 130 = 530$.
Maybe I'll regret it later, but I am trying the att version.

I'm buying the phone full-retail, so according to Best Buy, I don't get that offer as it's only given when an 'upgrade' is used. Definitely will miss out on the LG freebies unless AT&T is running some sort of promo.
I got a call from the EBay seller who said that the phone could ship anywhere from May 30th to June 15th...so I have decided that I will keep whichever phone comes first unless it's a day apart. Meaning, if the H810 (AT&T) arrives on Friday next week and the H815 is scheduled for Saturday, I'll go with the full unlocked. If the unlocked one is like a week longer, forget it, I'll keep the AT&T one.

I'm buying it at full retail too. Where does it say only upgrades? I even read the fine print. Just says when you purchase. If I don't get the GC then I'm not buying it from them either lol.
I'm going with the H815 unlocked model mainly because of the unlocked bootloader and the faster non-carrier reliant software updates.

Good points.
Thanks for your help guys, I have purchased one of these http://www.ebay.com/itm/281696933232 it was only $10 or so more then a contact free version, Comes with a free case and screen protector, probably both low quality but hey its included, and saves a little bit more money. As for the LG G4 Promo, I am sure I can find a way to get it
I found somewhere the att version was listed as having band 29. Do you lose that by going with the unlocked version?

I do not believe you'll lose the LG freebies, as long as you provide an IMEI# and proof of purchase, you should be able to get them. The carrier/retail store stuff will obviously be lost, but as mentioned previously, the upsides far outweigh the downsides. I will never get a carrier branded phone again, unless I am THAT desperate.

You can get it from Amazon now too (815), which is what I was waiting for. Not a fan of buying from Ebay. Hoping to still get the lg freebies since amazon is an auth retailer. Dropped the bestbuy ATT preorder.

AWESOME! And it's a few bucks cheaper!
I'm cancelling my EBay order and my AT&T pre-order and sticking with the 815. Definitely trust Amazon more myself.
So I am actually potentially debating about switching from the m8.
Couple questions to throw out there:
1. Do you know if the 815 will support VoLTE / HD Voice on AT&T?
2. Do you know how the warranty process would be handled if there was an issue with the phone? This would be the *only* pro I see out of getting the AT&T model over the international model.

Just a word of caution: You are not buying from Amazon. You are buying through Amazon, from somebody else in their marketplace.
I don't know anything about that seller, so maybe it's an American one, and you'll still qualify for the LG offer, but the point is, we don't know.
I agree with you, though, I'd rather buy through Amazon than Ebay, just in case there are problems.

I have the H815 and bl not unlocked yet.
I just order my LG G4 H815!! Since I have no plans to root my G4! The H815 is the best choice because it will come free from any carrier bloatware that it cant be uninstalled... Also, the H815 gets future updates way faster than the H810!
I had trouble ordering my G3 on Amazon 3rd party seller I ordered the F400 they sent the d855. They wanted to charge me restock fee and shipping back. It was a nightmare.

I check the offiical LG V30 "Buy Now" page for updates on either Amazon listings or unlocked V30+ listings.
No luck yet with Amazon, but I do see that B&H has a listing for the V30+.
$929.99 with a "coming soon" note. No release date provided.

Apologies if this was posted elsewhere. I did a quick scan of the board.
It was but it was a bit buried in a thread, I can't find it again to credit that user. Thanks for putting this up more prominently though, it's helpful.

Mentioned and briefly discussed here, but not a standalone thread,
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=74756966
So, thank you. I plan to other this as my 2nd LG device purchase for the $400 gift card.
Ahh, I'm sorry. Seemed thread-worthy. I scanned for a thread, but didn't search for in-thread mentions of the listing.
Still holding out for an unlocked V30+ preorder on Amazon.
But if we start getting close to whatever B&H's ship date winds up being without an Amazon listing going up, I may cave.
My poor 2015 Moto X is not long for this world, I'm afraid.

B&H Photo $820 price on the 64 GB LG V30 variant was cheaper for me than "$800" Best Buy LG V30 -- (really about $848 here in GA), once you factor in no local taxes and free shipping. That's even before any price matching.
Amazon also charges local tax.
So, probably going to buy from B&H Photo again, for the V30+. Plus they price match.
I still need to call them or email, to get the $20 knocked off.
I'm actually in the NY/NJ area, so B&H will ding me on taxes no matter what.
BB has the open market version? It's not US Cellular's?

No, it's not. It's the "open market" version which will get bootloader unlock.
LG did the same thing for the LG G6 US997:
U.S.Cellular sold the "carrier" version and B&H Photo, Best Buy, Amazon and other authorized retailers sold "open market" version of the US997, which got bootloader unlock.
Now this is the open market version of the V30+ -- which is available for pre-order. Whereas, U.S. Cellular has been selling their version since October 6.
Right. I want the open market V30+, preferably through Amazon or BB.
For some reason, I thought the BB V30 (not plus) was the US Cellular version.
Good to know it wasn't. Thanks!

Me too, and the sales tax thing is a moot point in Oregon luckily. Hopefully Amazon gets it soon, though the 110 dollars markup just for extra space seems slightly exorbitant. Amazon pricing could be a little lower but who knows. Will have to squeeze some more life out of this Nexus 5!

B&H Photo will price match. And they actually lowered the V30 initial price by $20 between preorder and actual ship date.
I wouldn't be surprised if V30+ ship price turns out to be $899 or something...
And if Amazon or Best Buy has lower price, they'll match that.

Just pre-ordered the "open market" LG V30+ from B&H Photo.
Also replied to the first order's email for the V30 and asked them for retroactive price match $20 refund, since Best Buy is selling it for $799 (plus tax).

That would be brilliant, hope that is the final price.
Getting closer... Finally the B&H Photo web page for V30+ is updated with specs. As expected includes "QuadPlay Headphones". Still no shipping date...
I guess the surprising price difference is mitigated somewhat by the inclusion of the updated headphones.
I wish there was a ship date. Day by day, my 2015 Moto X Play is degrading more and more. I may just have to buy the regular V30.

I haven't seen anyone review the Quadplay non-B&O earbuds. I should take a look around. I do think the price will come down. I think the Sprint V30+ was working out to $750 from Best Buy if you made the payments at one point during November. Sigh, I miss the Nexus days of getting great specs at a great price. I'm like ChazzMatt where without wireless charging I'm not buying, so the OnePlus and Pixel announcements were quite disappointing. I will say that updating my Nexus 5 to Paranoid Android's Nougat ROM has given it a new lease on life. It's still slow but I think I can afford to wait a little longer (even if I don't want to!).
Does the LG V30+ not have wireless charging? I thought it did?
Anyone want to take any bets on V30+ release date and when the US998 will be placed on the LG Developer Bootloader Unlock list?
1) European H931 released first week of November.
Placed on the LG Developer Bootloader Unlock list three weeks later.
2) North America "open market" 64GB US998 V30 released first week of December.
Not yet on the LG Developer Bootloader Unlock list, but it's not been three weeks yet...
3) North America "open market" 128GB US998 V30+ will be released when? First week in January? LG seems to want to S-T-R-E-T-C-H this whole process out.
When will both North America "open market" variants be placed on the LG Developer Bootloader Unlock list? By Christmas week or 3 weeks AFTER the V30+ is released? (Remember, took SIX WEEKS for LG to add the G6 US997 to the bootloader unlock list...)
Any predictions?

Sorry if I was unclear, but I was complaining that the OnePlus 5T and both Pixel 2s did not have wireless charging, which the V30 and V30+ do have. I don't often thank Apple for anything, but the inclusion of wireless charging in the new iPhones will make it ubiquitous. Google should never have abandoned it on the Nexus devices.

I'm betting you're right! But yes, this has been one long, drawn out process. People are still so used to buying their phones from carriers in the US so unfortunately us open market purchasers will always get the shaft for the foreseeable future. Although most people don't need nor care for open market unlocked phones that don't come with payment plans, so why not put it up for sale? It's obviously being manufactured and available. LG is simply throwing money away because a lot of people (people that don't care about wireless charging for example) have moved on to the Pixel, OnePlus 5T, etc. Who knows, maybe they are making enough from carrier sales, they don't care. Just frustrating to wait.

I know they lost money on me. I wanted TWO LG V30+ (for wife and myself), but was forced to buy at least one V30 before the December 2 deadline for the $400 gift card. I'll still buy a V30+ for the "second" purchase -- but yeah frustrating I couldn't buy two V30+ and get $400 off. But not released yet!
And yeah, I hate people are "settling" for inferior phones just because LG doesn't know how to release a new phone properly! They ANNOUNCED both LG V30 and V30+ end of August. It should have been EVERYWHERE by end of October. We're almost 4 months after the global announcement and they still have not released all the phones to major countries.

Short version, love it. Using very slim Tudia case. I set it up last Sunday, been using it all this week. Very fast, very smooth.
Battery life is very good.
I keep my display at 70%. Lower than that, and the colors don't seem to pop. I tried it lower, like 60% and I could use it, but I like the overall look at 70%.
Small thing, but the fingerprint sensor is amazing. I barely touch it and it unlocks. Sometimes I accidentally unlock it and lock it back in a split second because it's so sensitive.
There's one email app I use that's annoying because it stays immersed when in the email list and doesn't show the navigation icons at the bottom. I have to force them up. But that's the app, not the phone.
Can't wait for bootloader unlock and root.

Courtesy of the V30 reddit.
Probably a pricing error. Possibly a "missing" pallet of phones that someone is trying to clear out quick.
Interestingly, the description and title claim fedex shipping, but the shipping offered is $25 for China's standard "yea it'll get here eventually" shipping.
Still, it's there if anyone wants to give it a shot. Worst thing that can happen is you receive a rock and Paypal refunds your money.
And there's a competing seller:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/LG-V30-Plu...152868735242?_trksid=p2349526.m4383.l4275.c10
$33 + $19 shipping. Total cost is a little lower.
And then confusingly says "FREE Fedex Shipping" to U.S. and a bunch of other countries.
Trying to figure out what the scam is. Because eBay/PayPal will give you the money back if you don't receive the item or you receive some kind of counterfeit, right?

That seller only allows you to buy one item every 10 days. Something strange going on. I bought one, just to see. $40. Tampa, FL.
But I made sure to buy with my credit card, so I can easily do a chargeback when I discover what the scam is...

He'll probably say it's mistake in listing, or something.

I bought the Verizon one out of curiosity. If it's legit (for some very wierd reason I can't even imagine), a friend of mine with AT&T will gladly pay me $40 to replace her LG G3 with this. Yeah, Verizon model doesn't have LTE band 12/17. But it has LTE bands 2, 4, 5 and HSPA. For $40, she won't complain.
If it's a scam/wrong listing, I'll get my money back. I'm more curious why listed in Canada dollars on U.S. eBay.
And IF legit, why $40? Even if bad ESN (stolen/non payment of account), people try to charge more than that. Like the Sprint phone scams... But he has "more than 10" available, so sounds like a batch of refurbished -- yet it says "new", and even refurbished LG V30 are going for $300-$400.
I'm so skeptical, but curious what the "explanation" will be.
