FYI to anyone interested: Sprint is selling the Moto Z2 Force Edition for $120 for the full price, no contract or lease. I ordered one a few days ago after researching the device, GREAT PHONE! It pretty much has the internals of the Samsung GS8, so I thought I should buy one and I was not wrong, at least so far.
Sprint and Best Buy are selling at $120. Not sure if anyone else is.
Also looks like we have a bootloader unlock and root method? I was so pissed about the Galaxy S7 bootloader because I pre-ordered one. Never again will I pre-order, I sure learned my lesson there.
Only "major" problem so far is the tempered glass screen protector, which I did take note of during my investigative process before purchase. Turns out I also am a victim of that, so I suppose the route is the film-type screen protector.
In summary, buy this phone at the price point! You will not regret it. Also, Sprint's Kickstart $25/mo unlimited promo plan, you can still buy this phone at this price straight from Sprint. Best Buy, you can buy it unactivated for $159, and afaik Best Buy is sold in-store only.
Best of luck to you deal searchers out there!
Yea just got one at best buy and I'm on the sprint free one year unlimited, plan service is not bad.
Hm, with the screen. I will never understand what the people mean with the scratches. I have this phone for a very long time and no one scratch until today. There are people who tell that they got scratches just after one day. How? Ok, maybe I have to wait one year to see any scratches on my Z2 Force For 799€ the phone should be over the top.
i saw the sale to late.
sprint website is out.
local stores have stock but mysterisouly arent allowed to sell unless purchased online.
att and verizon willing to price match but both are out of stock!
ebay reseller scum have plenty of stock at 2-3 X the price!
i dont buy phones often but i would buy this in a heartbeat.
i am proud to say i am totaly hosed on this sale YAY!!!

I'm looking to get a Touch pro 2 in the UK. Does anyone know the cheapest place to buy one? Most places seem to be £450+!

Ebay is the best place to get a cheap one - they sometimes go for £300 brand new, which is a great bargain!
Theres a few places about, even Ebay like the previous poster suggested. but of all the HTC approved sellers. I,lld suggest you use Devicewire. I got my TyTN 2 from them and had no problems. I also got my Touch Pro 2 from them but I exchanged it cos I strongly beeived the first one wasnt actually brand spanking new. Not that there were any marks on it but the factory screen protector was missing and there were finger smudges all over it. Anyways I got a replacement device with a discount i.e I paid the advertised price on the day the replacement device was shipped (£452.99). Handtec are cheaper than Devicewire but as I found out when I bought a TyTN 2 from them (it was returned), they sell Grey imports.

If you want it cheap, you might consider getting it on contract from Vodafone. You can get one with no up-front payment on a £35 a month contract that runs for 18 months. If you want "unlimited mobile web" then you're pretty much going to be paying £20 a month for a contract anyway, so that means you're basically only paying £15 a month for 18 months for the phone - which works put at £270, with 18 months interest-free credit. You get either 750 minutes, 250 texts and unlimited landline calls, or 900 minutes and unlimited texts.
It can be even cheaper if you're willing to commit to a 24-month contract.
The phone will be unlocked (so you can change contract at the end of 18 months) and I believe it can be debranded without too much difficulty.
I'm a personal believer in www.expansys.co.uk for new devices. Sometimes they can be a tad more expensive but I cant fault their customer service at all.
Its swings and roundabouts... I paid £450 for mine from expansys.
Andy
so now that the GN is 100% possibly going to be released tomorrow(12/15), what's the best price the unit is going for?
$299 at Verizon
$289 at CostCo
anyone else have it going for lower?
if you're going to get the thing you may as well get it for the best price right?
[EDIT] and yes, that Q was supposed to be a W. i blame the tiny keyboard i'm using.
you have to consider verizon's expensive plan rate times 24 months commitment.

Bingo.
Also OP, I'm sure there will be deals on Amazon wireless and others if you're willing to sign an extra contract and ETF burden.
i had gotten the Rezound for $219 at Best Buy Mobile. i have until the 16th of this month to exchange....
that being the case, if i can get it as close to a 'straight swap' as possible i'd love to keep the extra money for gas/food.
BBM price matches other stores
Called 4 Costco stores in SE Michigan and getting mixed answers. One person said the 21st. Another said "when Verizon gets them". $289 supposedly includes a bundle of other items with it. Can anyone confirm Costco will be selling tomorrow?
Costco's 289 price includes leather case, leather holster, travel charger (home+car), and screen protectors. Also includes no restock fee..so that alone seems to be a good savings overall. I get my family's phones at Costco..they're a pretty good crop of people and don't give you crap!
I saw someone state Target will have it for $199, but I have no proof.
What about Best Buy and their technology protection program? That seems like a cost-effective way to go and still be able to upgrade your device in less than two years.
With corporate discount it should be $249 from Verizon from day one. (This is how it was with the Razr, Rezound, etc.)
$155/$175 (new/upgrade) from letstalk

i dont think its going get much cheaper any time soon.
What is the cheapest anyone has gotten the Note2 for and , where could i find it for the cheapest price?
mods* if this doesnt belong here please just move it, or if its already been asked please link me to that thread
For me, Craigslist or Ebay.. But Craigslist is really really.. It's 50/50. I would rather pay more and just buy at a retail store or someyhing. So many people getting their phone's IMEI blocked after buying from CL and stuff. Try Swappa

Here's the link to an earlier thread ... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957825
+1 for swappa. I bought a TMobile 7.0+ and an i717 off there with no issues. I'm looking for a white collar collar job this fall when I finish working beach volleyball and I'll probably be buying a Note 2 off there.
I've bought a couple on local craigslist for $400 in like new condition. They do pop up from time to time. It seems the going rate in the Ventura area is $475. I stumbled across a Verizon one for $350. It had chewed up chrome bezel and battery door. I spent $25 on replacing them and got $500 for it. So don't be afraid of body damage as long as the glass is in good shape.

been looking and have found some a lil bit lower.. im actually looking at two right now
1st) is a Sprint Gnote2 already flashed to pageplus ( which is what i would do with it if i get it anyways) for $220
2nd) is Tmobile Gnote 2 clean imei for $300
cant decide
one hand one is cheaper and pageplus works off verizon towers which would give me good reception wherever i am but fastest data speed is 2mb down .. pageplus plan for $70 with 5gb data is the plan i would get on this...
the tmobile is more expensive , i would get the $70 plan have unlimited data but some complain about call quality and coverage and i use phone for work so not sure... tmobile data would obviously be alot faster and you could talk and surf and the same time which is not a requirement but a plus..
still trying to decide ...aaarrggghhh
Check Amazon every once in a while for deals through personal sellers. For ex. I got a brand new unopened and unlocked iPhone 5 for $480 shipped about 3 months after release just because of how cheap it was.. Used it for 3weeks or so and turned around and still sold it for 788 on ebay

That doesnt make sense to me. Why would people pay more than the retail price for a used phone? People on ebay are crazy

I do agree that some people do crazy things on ebay especially.
I have seen crazy seller too. As in listing for used s3 starting at
899.00
But to each is his own.
I got my note2 on ebay for 435.00 includ shipping.
But I had to hunt for it almost 6 month.
I got my note 2 for tmobile from wirefly. com for 300 but had to sign a new contract

Anything on Craigslist/ Ebay/ Amazon for really cheap- Less than $400 or so, I would consider suspicious. Especially the ones that look really new. Some people claim on insurance and the one they are selling you is the one they probably got off of insurance by ripping someone else off. Ebay is a little better because they have buyer protection- but still, it's only 30 days and the original owner can report lost/stolen, claim insurance after 30 day period.
Bought a Note 2 for $500 brand new and a week later, got it blocked.
I have heard that if you meet with the seller at a Tmobile store, they'll be able to switch over the IMEI- but make sure it's not on a payment plan or you'll be screwed even if you switch over the IMEI..
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.
I'm selling my G2 guys. I bought a G4 and am awaiting it's arrival this week. I know the G4 isn't as high end as it really should have been, but I really want to try that camera out. Also, the unlocked bootloader sounds awesome.MOD EDIT: No selling/trading/buying on XDA. Use swappa.com and you may have a discreet link to sale in signature only
$229..? No offense but that's way out there. Mint condition Sprint G2's are going for less than $150 on CList. Actually got my current G2 for $100 (not the norm, but lucky me). Even brand new GSM (unlocked) models are on eBay for $189, and we all know the CDMA models usually go for less.
Good luck.
ROFL ...$229 OP.. Seriously!??! Yeah good luck with that. Greed kicking in too much here OP.
I know its more than I'll get for it. It's just a buy it now price. The reserve price is wayyyyy lower. I always throw a rather high buy it now on auctions. It has an Otterbox and ZAGG shield as well. You're right tho, I will lower the BIN to $200.
Edit: eBay wont let you adjust the buy it now
