You should but they would probably want to charge you a restocking fee of $35. Maybe they can price match it for you. Best Buy offers great sales from time to time and they don't charge restocking fees so I buy my phones there instead lol

Just got back from Best Buy with an extra $50. I like their 30 day matching program. Thanks for the info.

Its been 35 days as i bought it on launch day....will best buy still do best price match ?

So if I go to an att store they will give me $100???

Thanks!
I bought mine 20 days ago and then bought one for my sister yesterday. I called A&T and they credited me the difference for both phones back to my account. Appreciate the information.

They will credit the account, they wont give you money back like in cash or anything. But the credit is fine with me

Got my infuse from wal-mart today. showed them the online add from best buy and they gave me my phone for $99.

I bought my infuse about 2 weeks ago, I always buy my phones from bestbuy but for some reason only AT&T would upgrade since my actual date was June 26th. So I went back to AT&T and told them bestbuy had a special for the infuse,at the time they were selling for $150, which AT&T gladly matched. The girl who was cashing me out told me accessories were on sale, buy 2 get 1 free, I told her I didn't have any cash for that right now. A few minutes later she tells me to go pick out a case, so I did ($35) she than walked across the store and grabbed a set of 3 screen protectors and a car charger, she than asked me which id want, a blue tooth head set or a set of panasonic wireless blue tooth ear buds, I took the ear buds. Next she tells me "shhh, don't tell any body" the ear buds are sick, ill be streaming music at work walking around the building why my phone is at my desk, not too mention I can pause, play, skip, and answer my phone and they retail for $100. The stuff I for for free was worth more than what I paid for the phone, so id feel a little guilty going back in and asking for an addition $50 price match, but I might. Lol

May have to swing by the AT&T store...I have only had mine a couple weeks.

Went to Best Buy yesterday, got my $50 refund and bought a 16gb class 10 microsd card they have on sale for $39.99.

I went to att I asked for price match, they wont give me back my $450
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA Premium App

I went to Att and they charged me another $100 because I asked for a price match and bestbuy is selling for more than Att. Some of these stories .......

I bought my Infuse 4 days ago for $199 at ATT. I went to att store and told them i'd be returning it and going to BB, and they gladly knocked $100 off my bill and gave me a free case....pretty cool

I ordered mine from costco online so I could have 90 days to exchange for the Attain if it does come out soon... I just emailed them to see if they would match the price. I'll let you guys know what happens.

The $399 off-contract price I paid makes it difficult to sympathize.

Lol I would never pay more than $100 bucks for a phone especially now that newer and better phones are coming out so often. But that sucks though I must admit.

Well 1 penny at amazon. So def not worth returning just for a penny.lol

i paid 260 for mine. bought it from ebay...
it depends, but atleast i m not stuck with it for 2 years, or giving it back early and paying another 100 some for new device.
i will use it five six months and sell it for 240 i guess..

35$ at the shack . Happy so far .

is back at $79.99

its free(+tax) at costco, well at least in northern cali. plus if u break it in the first 90 days, they will still accept it as a full return

Just go to at&t,ask them to price match someone who has it cheaper. I bought a case,car charger,and got screen protectors free (buy 2 get 1 free). And they made the price of the phone free

Same price NO tax on AmazonWireless. Except, ironically, in Cali where I believe Amazon now charges tax.
How broken does it have to be for a Costco return...i.e. will they take a bricked phone? Will they also swap it out for a different model (Infuse?)

Nice find.

Less likely on any of the phones you would be interested in. More likely on the older phones.

my daughters line is up for an Upgrade on 20 Dec. Called tonight to see if they would let me upgrade now since its a month away so I could get it done before christmas...told me sure, as long as you don't want to upgrade to any 4G phone. Pfft, 20 Dec it is. I also asked if waiting til 20 Dec was going to net me any discounts or other pricing offers, said, Nope none planned. Oh well.

The only free Verizon phone radioshack is gonna have is the stratosphere. Black Friday will have cheaper phones but the razr is not included. I can't remember the prices off the top of my head.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium

Anyone know if the Rezound will be discounted? I can only upgrade directly through VZW though.

...before you buy the Razr please ensure your prepared for
1. a crappy display
2. 4G/3G data popping in and out and dropping completely (ala Bionic)
3. alarms not functioning properly
4. missed phone calls/texts
(my experiences in 4 days with it)
if your going to upgrade, grab the Nexus Prime ...Samsung may be plastic, but they function at least 95% of the time

As far as "deals" are concerned, I'm never buying from a VZW store again - not unless there's a darned good reason.
I'll probably be buying at Costco - They're deals are usually really good: Some of the cheapest pricing, with nice accessories thrown in for free. I might try Amazon or Best Buy, too.
Now that VZW has tossed the "New Every Two" plan, I plan on tossing VZW.

Like I said, no real sales on any of the newer stuff.
$200 for a XOOM probably isn't a bad deal, if it wasn't for the monthly cellular contract you have to purchase with it.

Just saw a commercial on TV last night that Verizon will be offering the red DINC2 for free on black Friday. My wife watches this website every year around this time, check it out.
http://bfads.net/
They list a ton of the black friday deals for all kinds of stores.
Also, Amazon.com has all Verizon phones for 1 cent. (with an upgrade). This includes the Bionic, Rezound and Razr.

I'm coming from an iPhone 4 with a 3G micro-sim. So that kind of forces me to go get the HTC One X at an AT&T store so I can get a new micro-sim that's compatible with 4G LTE. I will also be buying off contract, so I assume its going to be $550 everywhere?

some places are 629 like best buy, and most should price match att.

Do you think best buy will match the radioshack price of $150?

I don't see why not? I haven't done it but when the skyrocket was released and select marketes were selling it for 149 i got my BB to price match... but some BB wouldn't so it depends on the BB.

They wont match online pricing, only physical store matching.

Is the 149 only online

Even if they do manage to screw it up, you can always get it back

I'm driving cross-country, leaving tomorrow, (this is why I didn't pre-order), but I think I'll be somewhere in Oklahoma City when the stores open and I'll stop somewhere there and pick one up

AT&T store, I won't shop at best buy on principle.
Sold my iPhone today (why the hell did I buy that thing?) and am picking up myOne X tomorrow

As much as I HATE best buy, a longer return window is better. Doesn't matter what I purchase, that's always a plus.

If you have a defective phone, you will now it within 1 week of purchase, especially us with this new phone, nobody has been putting it down and not playing with it. After a few weeks with the phone, you wont be returning it, lol.

Any other advantages by buying at Best Buy over ATT other than the longer return window?

June 20th ....SGS3 T-Mobile

You may have already heard the news released today about the Samsung Galaxy S3 arriving in stores on June 20th (fingers crossed ) but I thought I would post it for others to see. T-Mobile also has included release dates for a few other phones like the Galaxy Note (way too big ) and the Mytouch line of devices. The fallowing information has been provided by TMOnews.
Samsung Galaxy S III 16GB Metallic Blue – June 20th
Samsung Galaxy S III 32GB Metallic Blue – June 20th
T-Mobile myTouch (Huawei Phoenix) – July 11th
T-Mobile myTouch (Huawei Buddy) – July 11th
Samsung Galaxy S III 16GB Ceramic White – July 11th
Samsung Galaxy Note – July 11th
* I got my eye on the Blue 32gb. SGS3....(Pebble Blue)
What are you all thinking?

July 11th for me, not wasting my time with the blue version. White is just too pretty.

Hope they release the radio for the note before the release of the t-mobile note. I just don't see myself rockin a smaller screen lol

Not sure about price...How much does a Note go for on other networks? Probably similar pricing? I bought my SGS2 for full price the day it came out and I kicked myself for doing so. I had the MT4G in one hand and the SGS2 in the other, what am I supposed to do? lol....I called T-Mobile this afternoon to check on my upgrade status. and what do ya know? This June I will be due for a full upgrade, just in time for the worlds greatest smartphone aka SGS3. Or until a better phone drops 2 weeks later....haha. My guess is no less than $600.00, and who knows about the difference in price from the 16gb to the 32gb? I cant imagine it being over a 100 dollar difference between the two, but what do I know. Our luck it will be like $850.00 or something ridiculous...

T-mobile is notorious for making you pay way too much for a phone even when you have a full upgrade available. Needless to say I'll be waiting to see reviews and developments before I jump onto any of these, even though the galaxy III is calling my name.

My opinion, these phones hardware are ahead of the software. I think all the high end phones are going to pretty much work the same until we have some software they fully utilizes quad core.

The last time I bought a phone, upgraded, and added a 2 year contract on my plan was when I got a Blackberry Curve 8900 right around when the phone came out for close to $300. I've been using a jailbroken/unlocked iPhone I bought from a friend up until I got my S2 about 6 months ago. I paid $400 dollars (With a $50 dollar rebate, whoopdeedoo...) out of pocket with an obvious full upgrade at a T-Mobile store not an "Authorized" reseller. Close friend of mine paid the same amount as me shortly afterwards.
I would have much rather have paid the glorious $99 dollars you paid. Did you get it during a promotion?

Thats very strange. I have never seen a subsidized phone at T-Mobile cost $300-400. It was a sale when I bought mine, but the normal price was $199

I got my TMO Sensation 4G in 8/2011 and it cost me $229 up front. Was supposed to be $249, but the salesclown screwed up and initially said $199. I was going to walk away, then he offered a bit less and I took it since I really wanted the Sensation. My big mistake, picking the phone first instead of the carrier. I didn't realize TMO coverage is not so hot here in Vegas. I will be switching to either Verizon or Sprint in 14 months unless TMO dramatically upgrades their coverage.

Just found my receipt, the breakdown looks like this.
Phone price - $279.99 (Discount - Normally $499.99)
Sales Tax - $43.59 (Based on the full price of the phone)
Upgrade Fee - $18.00
Upgrade Fee Tax -$1.58
Total = $341.58
I feel molested after hearing you paid a whopping $99 dollars....

What part of town? The Sensation 4G has mediocre reception, I had one. T-Mobile's biggest problem is EDGE coverage, not a total lack of. Thankfully after two years of them basically stopping any major investments in the Las Vegas area, they are picking back up again. Mountains Edge just got 4G HSPA+ instead of the 3G it was on.

Dude I can't wait!!!!!
