EDIT: Sorry guys, but this coupon code is no longer valid. But it was fun while it lasted, huh. Also, as of 10/8 Negri has increased their price for the unlocked T-Mobile Note 3.
Went to Negrielectronics. Their price is $689, and I used a coupon code (NE20OFFCART) for $20 off, for a total of $669. This is considerably less than T-Mobile's unlocked cost ($704+tax). I got free shipping (Fedex Ground) and no tax as well.
Availability shows as 10-4-13, so i'm hoping that mine ships no later than Monday, as i'm probably not in the first batch of pre-order shipments. EDIT: Now says 'Coming Soon'.
Negri's website now shows the White T-Mobile Note 3 as 'In Stock' with 'Add to Cart' (instead of 'Preorder'). The Black version, however, still says 'Preorder'. Also, Negri's blog (http://goo.gl/iTQyTv) states that the first orders are being shipped out as of yesterday (9/8), and at least one person has stated in this thread that they have received their tracking number.
If you have received your tracking number, please post below with your pre-order date, which color you ordered, as well as your expected delivery date. It will help people figure out where they are in the queue.
Forget all of the above. I have cancelled my order with Negri Electronics. After three weeks of waiting for them to ship, Negri posted on their blog and basically confirmed what many of us have suspected for the last couple of days. Negri is buying their devices from shady suppliers who are selling them used devices. This has resulted in at least of couple of people who thought they were getting NEW Note 3s actually having their devices BLACKLISTED on T-Mobile. In addition, at least one person has received a device rooted with Knox tripped (and thus a voided warranty).
I was willing to put up with the three week delay (though now I feel like an idiot for doing so), but these new issues are unacceptable in my opinion.
Yeah but it's black.

They have a white one for pre-order now.
I was gonna buy from them but my lack of patience got the best of me lol. Ended up buying from a local T-mobile store instead.

Would this be a unlocked bootloader, region unlocked US version?
I went to the store but when they told me the device was locked I decided to buy at Negri's to save me the trouble.
Has anyone with the TMo version verified its locked?

I have heard that the black one has a better soft-touch feel while the plastic has a hard plastic feel (I played with one at an AT&T store).

That's so weird, because that white one must have just appeared after I ordered mine.

I don't know about a bootloader. I think the unlocked refers to the SIM unlock so that it can be used with any GSM carrier.

They haven't shipped any yet to my knowledge, but I don't see why they would advertise it as unlocked when it is not. But when I get mine I will confirm.

No, I bought the unlocked version. I don't even see a version that would require a plan. I don't think Negri sells phones with contracts/plans. Are you sure we're talking about the same site?

I asked in Chat about the Unlocked and they said I had to select a wireless plan. But I'm thinking they were just trying to push the sales up. I even sent them the link to the phone. But that was untrue.
Already clicked for you! I'll clcik this one too.

Thank you for the reply, Reading here on XDA the T-mobile US phones did not have the region lock stickers on them, thats why I was wondering.
Discover is also offering 5% CB if that helps anyone out
delayed shipping
FYI, after talking with the CSR, it looks like the 10/4/13 delivery date is delayed until a week later on 10/10/13.
So will this be the same version, in essence, that i would get directly from tmo? For example, will the negri version still have wifi calling and come in the tmobile packaging?

I thought wifi calling was an Android feature that works with T-Mobile and not a T-Mobile feature as per se.
I'm selling my used 32 GB Pixel XL (Google edition) on Swappa. It's got regular wear and a tiny scratch on the screen. I'm not selling it here, just wondering how much would be good to list it for? I'm selling it with the Spigen Case I have.
Idk? Try searching Swappa for how much others are selling theirs for, and adjust from there depending on how fast you want to sell it?
Sorry. New to Swappa. Thanks.

The most recently sold "Good" condition, silver 32GB Pixel XL sold on Swappa for $620. That included a Daydream VR unit, fwiw.

Haha. I'm including a Daydream Headset too. Maybe I'll try that price.
So when I pre-ordered my Pixel 2 XL, the site told me my Nexus 6 was worth $0 as a trade-in. Anyone else have this happen to them? Is there any way to negotiate this?
Maybe they got flooded with them and cut trade ins of them off?
I have 6p and they're giving me 150 bucks for it.

if its through VZW, they are of no real value to them.
Even through the google store itself, max is $80 for the 64GB version $70 for 32GB.
They are going for twice that price on swappa, much better off selling it yourself.
Excellent, thanks for the info!

Fantastic. The OP however has a Nexus 6, not a 6P.
I got one even better. 2 months ago I got the ASUS ZenFone AR... Still in new condition... Verizon will only give $50 for trade in LOL... Verizon is a joke...
I'd say 90% of the time you are better off on swappa then trading it into VZW. Although, I got $280 for my Note 4 a few weeks ago.

I have Verizon and want to buy a Pixel 2 XL with an unlocked bootloader, refurbished or new. I know I can purchase a new one from the Google store but the price is still $799 for the 128 Gb model. On Ebay they are under $500 now but getting an unlocked bootloader is near impossible because most are Verizon phones. Does anyone know specifically where you can buy one besides the Google store?
Look on swappa for a Google edition Pixel 2 xl. Good prices and they verify the imei to make sure your not buying stolen stuff.

Second vote for Swappa. I've bought 4 phones from there over the years with good experiences.
Great, thanks for the suggestion! I'll check Swappa out.

I looking to upgrade to a 3 xl... Pm me maybe we can work somethjng out
Black 64gb unlocked play store version.

I would go through Swappa and try and sell your phone there. It was a good experience for me. I bought one and don't need another one, but thanks anyway.
Swappa even states if it's a Google Edition or a Verizon
I recently ordered a pixel 2 unlocked that was a refurbished unit (yesterday) and then i read here on xda on the how to root pixel 2 Nathan chance's thread that explains how to root, a user states that he received 4 returhished units and all had encrypted bootloader's. His original device did not. Google pretty much told him tough luck. Then I read a few write ups on Reditt and on Google help site about the same thing. The refurbs have the switch and you can flip it on, however when you key in the fastboot command to unlock bootloader it fails. I canceled my order akd swappa got upset so I hooked me up with the links and told them to sticky that ****!! Seriously pissed me off!!
I'm traveling in the US (European guy), meaning no permanent address. I need a phone otherwise I'm lost.
Just got the 3a Xl unlocked and the speakers are toast. Rattling, crackling. I need to replace it and I have a problem.
Amazon returns and stuff takes time, plus the most time I spend without moving is 2 days. Current location is LA. Can't order it because of that.
Retail stores all tell me they don't have any unlocked phones, order online. Can't do that.
Is there a place I can go to that sells this phone NEW and actually has warranty?
Oh and did I screw up my warranty by joining the beta program? Bootloader is locked still, no root.
Also: it's 2019. How hard is to manufacture a phone that works? This shouldn't be a problem. At all. Ever. With any product.
Yes, Best Buy stores have the Pixel 3a XL
