Free Skyrocket (or GS2) with purchase of Galaxy Tab 8.9 - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727

I was just at my cor store this afternoon and was about to buy a Skyrocket as I'm sick of waiting for a decently priced Galaxy Nexus. My buddy was about to ring me up when his manager said, "did you tell him about the tablet special for tomorrow?"
Turns out, if you buy the Galaxy Tab 8.9 tomorrow for $479, you get a FREE Skyrocket or GS2.
I have 2 lines that I can upgrade, so this is perfect for me! I think the GS2/Skyrocket are great phones and to get one for free with the purchase of the tablet is killer!
I get a tablet and a phone for less than the price to import a Galaxy Nexus. And I know the skyrocket will get ICS.

Where is this?

The pricing should be available at all AT&T cor stores! I live around the Phoenix, Az area. Talked to the manager today. His store has only 3 tablets, but 6 phones.

Don't you need to sign a 2 year data contract on the Galaxy tab to get the free Skyrocket?

That is correct! But I have a second line I pay for and haven't used in about a year anyway, so I'll just throw it on that. Sure, it's an extra $15/mo for data, but I can live with that. It'll be nice to have data on both my devices anywhere I go. And I'll root the skyrocket and just tether when I want to do heavy data on the tablet away from wifi.

You have to sign a contract on the tab if you want to pay the 479 price or else you pay 629 for no contract for the tab and get the gs2 for free with a 2 year contract.

galaxy s2

Hi , At&t is offering me galaxy s2 for $230 as an early upgrade offer. my contracts ends in nov 2012, so if i take this upgrade offer, my contract would end in nov 2013, should i go ahead with this or wait for some new phones in june/july.
There will always be a better phone coming out in a few months. If you wait for summer, it will be the holiday season.
Samsung sold over 10 million GS IIs before selling a single one in the US.
Any flaw, what so ever insignificant, in the captivate is fixed in the GS II. It feels amazing in hand, super smooth and fast, plus there is already 7 different ROMs, and it hasn't been out a month yet.
You cannot go wrong with the GS II. Go into the store and play with it. After two weeks I have yet to find a flaw, or a way to make it lag, or hesitate.
My question for you is: how do I get att to let me renew a year early? (For next time)
Sent from my Galaxy S II (i777)
AT&T is letting me upgrade a year early also. Pretty sure it's not a full discount upgrade, or what, but my contract isn't up until 2012.
the original retail price is $199 and they are offering me for $230. I just called customer care and asked for an upgrade for s2 they gave the above option...this is with a 2 year contract....

Don't do it! You'll feel ripped when the SGS 3 comes out, Think about how long the SGS 2 has been out outside the USA..... Or you can can get the GS2 as it is one of the greatest phones out there right now and it flies like the wind.
*Get Chance and Luck*
My contract ends in January 2012, but I got a Galaxy S II off-contract.
The thing's AMAZING!! Super light, amazing screen, extremely fast, the best in every aspect.
The price is not, it's $599 off-contract. But do what I did, scout craigslist and find people who are selling it new in box at a good price, or sell your captivate, or trade.
The deal I scored was $360 + hacked Motorola Backflip, and I have a spanking new Galaxy S II.. Just don't deal in a bad neighborhood and always make sure it's the Galaxy S II (Say's it on the back)
Save your contract/upgrade for the Galaxy S III

Patience and Negotiation my friend. There are people out there that just want to sell the phone and one needs to take advantage. Did the same thing for the original Galaxy S (Captivate), got it new in box for $350 when it was $599 at the time.
does the galaxy s2 with live wallpaper make the phone slow down when scrolling through apps?
what I wanted todo was..take the early upgrade option now and take it early next time to..by doing this I will have a new phone for a cheaper price...

It does not lag at all, it's buttery-smooth and shows no sign of lag considering the powerful specs and the hardware-accelerated browser, launcher, and touchwiz applications.

You get a faster upgrade cycle (discounted upgrades every year) if your bill is over a certain amount per month, which I think is around $100

That stopped this year. They changed it, from 12 months to the normal 20. After upgrading in September, I next qualify 5/2013. That's why I was curious how he got them to budge at all. I have another line that qualifies in December (start date 4/2010, never renewed), and the phone broke, I tried in store and over the phone, they won't let me upgrade early without adding like $100 to the price of the phone, not the gentle $30 the OP got.

The new LTE phone is not worth it considering that it sports a slower processor, and LTE isn't widely implemented

I have always had an 18-month upgrade cycle with them, $75 "earlier than that" option. But, I've been with them since the Cingular era courtesy of corporate discounting.

I was with att wireless, before they were Cingular, with a corporate sponsorship this whole time. In the past I have had 18 or 12 month cycles too. The att store told me they changed the policy a few months back so all future renewals are not eligible until 20 months. I'm ecstatic with my phone now, so it doesn't matter now, but if in a year I can upgrade for only an extra $30, I'll be all over that. Maybe by then the LTE phones will have battery life worked out, and my area will have LTE

I was talking to one of the managers at my local AT&T store and he was saying that he could upgrade me early and renew my 2 year contract, he said I would get the phone at the 2 year contract price, the only catch was I had to buy $200 worth of accessories to go with it. Of course he pointed out the the Jawbone Jambox is $200. I might use it for the Skyrocket that's coming out, I'm just having a hard time parting with my Cappy.

AT&T Galaxy Tab 8.9 w/free Skyrocket Deal

So i went in to the AT&T store on Saturday to upgrade my phone since I was due. I was talking with the sales rep about the Skyrocket and slobbering over the 50Mbps download speeds, and he said if I was interested in the Galaxy Tab 8.9 I would get the Skyrocket for free. I told him I wasnt interested because I didnt want to get another data plan and the one for the Galaxy Tab 8.9 was $35/mo. He said I didnt have to get a data plan for it. Surprised, I told him I had seen the deal online but that it says you must get the $35 data plan. He said they found a loop hole in the system that allows them to skip the data plan for the tab as long as I have a data plan on the Skyrocket (which of course you have to have anyway).
So long story short, I walked out of the AT&T store with a new Skyrocket and Galaxy Tab 8.9 for $450 (he gave me a $30 discount over the advertised price also ) and I still have my $30/mo unlimited data plan on my phone. Essentially I got the Tab for $200. Did I get a steal or is this a known thing?
Love the tablet BTW, and it has a 4G LTE radio so if I ever want to get data on it I can.
Congrats! Yeah they have been doing this deal since black Friday but the post was a few pages back.
Enjoy! I passed on the 2 contracts deal myself ($450 plus $35/month x 24 months makes for an expensive tab) but if he got around that it makes sense.

Details on the loop hole please?? I need as much ammo as possible when I go visit my local att store!!
I did the same exact thing. Going to cancel the data in a few days since I wanted to try it.

Really this is working??
I almost pulled the trigger but only will use tablet on wifi so.. extra data plan ruined it..
details please.. im heading to att in a few hours..
I didnt have to cancel the tablet data plan, they never even put it on. He didnt elaborate, he just said they found a way to enter it into the system as it only validates that one of the devices (ie the new phone) has a valid data plan. It was a corporate AT&T store, not just a reseller, not sure if that makes a difference.
my sales rep gave me a 50$ account credit to try it after a month and then said i could come back and cancel it. i didnt want to be screwed over, so i wanted to know if he was 100% sure. he then gave me his home phone number as well on the back of the card and said text him whenever i wanted to cancel it and he would let me know when he was in the store next and he would do it.
I've just tried it and it didn't work. They tried everything, at least it looked like it. No deal. I even offered to switch from an iPad 3G plan, but without commitment, it can't be done for less than 629 or so.

commit then cancel
By cancelling you incur an ETF on the tablet if you don't return it. That was the whole point of the 2 yr contract discount no?
OP, what does the the receipt say? my guess is it would show how to get the tab rung out. Possibly the phone first, then the tab?

Sofar this device is non-rootable. I got it thinking i could root it and make real nice but unfortunately nobody has fiured out anything about root for this device. I am so far pretty disappointed with the device. It is slow and glitchy i have had it SoD many times for no apparent reason? Also i use Swiftkey X and have Swiftkey Tablet installed and it isn't anywhere as good on this as on my Skyrocket or Infuse. I still have not gotten it to do spell corrections on the fly or at all. Dolphin HD doesn't work properly and the Dolphin tablet version sucks.
It just sin't anywhere as good as my Skyrocket and it shoukd be as good or better than the phone. I may end up selling this paper weight.
I love the tablet personally. no problems what so ever.
I am also talking to a few devs about rooting
I agree it's not perfect. I'll wait a few weeks and try it out. You think it will ever get ICS?
OP and others who were successful: could you please PM me the name of the store + rep?
I just tried two at&t store in Manhattan (Wall St and across from the Public Library on 5th) and neither was willing extended any concession whatsoever. They insisted on getting a 2-year contract on both if I wanted both the free phone + subsidize-priced tablet (otherwise would have to purchase full retail @ $600+).
Also, were you an existing at&t customer: did they look up your account and perhaps saw you were eligible for an upgrade/ have a high average monthly bill or anything along those lines?
TIA.
Your best bet is to buy it on Craigslist. I've seen them going for less than $400.
How did you get them to give you a $150 credit?
Hmm...i really feel bad for you guys in the USA on ATT. No free tethering, and they rip you off on deal we have that are much better here. In Canada you can get a Galaxy tab 10.1 and a Skyrocket for 249$ and your contract only covers the skyrocket, so basically you can cancel the data plan for the Tab after a month. And since we have free tethering, you dont really lose the data on the galaxy tab

I walked out when I heard they wanted a 2 year contract. He came and got me and talked to his manager. They do have the option to discount these things.
Where are you located?
Yes, one rep last night told me each store as a budget for that purpose.
I suppose you have to go a store with very slow sales. I waited for the end of the month, thinking they'd be eager to make their monthly sales quotas, but I guess it doesn't work in NYC. There is just too much money.
Gotta try a far away at&t store somewhere ... or Canada given the deal being mentioned above.

Galaxy S II free or Galaxy S III $179 which would you choose?

Note: This is all about T-Mobile
Costco has the Samsung Galaxy S III for $179
T-Mobile has the Samsung Galaxy S II for $0
What would you do?
BTW, hackability is my #1 priority. Right now, the S3 has fewer options than the S2 so that is my hangup. Also why I don't want a Galaxy Note.
If those are the only two you're considering, I'd go with the S III just because you don't want to be thinking about an upgrade before your phone has even arrived. I think in the long run you'd be kicking yourself for buying an older device.
The dev support for the s2 is going to drop off eventually and the S3 is only going to get larger.

I'll let you know how that works out for each of those devices. I just bought them both. :laugh: My wife gets the S2.
I'll pick the T-Mobile has the Samsung Galaxy S II for $0 as it is free
I currently have the S2 and it's awesome!!! But why would you go for the older model when the new model is out there and it's freaking awesome as well??
If you are looking for more hacking support then I would go with the SII only because I doubt the support for it will die down soon... The hardware in the phone is superior to other smartphones that came out in the same year. With a dual-core processor and a gig of RAM, I don't think the SII is going anywhere anytime soon!!
i just bought the s3 for that price and i'm loving it. i went from the s to s3 and what a jump.
I'm an S2 user (well, sort of - Epic 4G Touch) and am quite happy with it; it performs exponentially better than what I had before (a 1st-generation iPhone...).
Is the S3 from Costco being offered as unlocked? If so, I'd go get both; nab the T-Mobile-offered S2 for free, then move the SIM card to the S3 and sell the S2. However, if Costco is only selling it with a carrier plan, then that probably isn't going to work, in which case I'd say to go with the S3.
I would suggest you to buy a s3 .. then sell it to me for cheap .. hahahaha.
Ps go for s3
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
buy the galaxy s3 from costco as im pretty sure they dont require you to be locked onto a plan, whereas if you choose tmobile you'd probably get a locked device and you might have like a very long contract.
the samsung galaxy 3 is more powerfull and son have more hackers too
Both good, buy the s3.

Hi All,
I am currently looking at changing my phone. Finally have a little financial back up to get one. I am interested in getting the Galaxy S III or Note II.
But i do not want to go for the dual core version of S III that is widely available. Since there are so many models of the internationally available. Can you let me know which S III models are available internationally can support LTE in USA? I see there is GT 9305 which supports LTE but its frequencies don't match the US carriers.

Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
Yup. But
Look at it this way... $150 for S3 now, which you can get for $600. So that is a difference of $450. But on the plans i save $45 a month average. I am talking about unlimited talk text and 2 GB LTE plan. Contract for that would be $119 per month IIRC. Which would be $65 on prepaid. The difference covers up in 10 months and the rest 14 months you would be saving.
Plus no hassle of breaking terms, switching carriers, selling it for a decent price and whatever.
I'd go for the s3 unless your comfortable with a bigger phone then I'd go for the note 2. Both are very hackable and very good phones.

Sprint tab3 for 49.99

As title says .. just got the email..course its with 2yr..I have the 10.1 tab2 but thinking of getting this for my daughter..thoughts?
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
Sounds good to me, i paid 299 euro for the 8 inch one, and if remember correct the 7 inch was 199 euro. So 49,99 USD sounds almost free, go for it.
Sent from my SM-T310 using xda app-developers app
I picked up 2 on Friday from Sprint. There is a $5 monthly plan which gives you basically no data, or a $15 plan that gives you 2GB of data. With the Wifi Tab 3 retailing for $199 with 8 GB of internal storage in the US this is a good deal. The major kicker is if you break your contract right away the fee is $200, so basically you can get a 4G enabled Tab 3 with 16 GB of internal storage for $250 and then no data plan.
I went for this deal last week as well, bought a Case/Pen combo from Amazon for 15$ w/ free shipping.
I used an additional promo code that has since expired, gave me a $50 statement credit.
I went with the $5 for 25MB of data plan, I plan on using this wifi only or with my unlimited VZW line if LTE band 13 is unlocked.
So after tax this is going to cost 54.43 - 50 + (22 * 5.34) = 132.59 USD
Now to start reading about what I can do with this thing Hopefully bootloader unlock, custom recovery and custom rom's are available.

One thing to note on this tab.. it is does not have the same specs as the wifi tab 3.. this one has 1.5gb ram (wifi is 1gb), this one is 1.7ghz, (wifi is 1.2 or 1.5.. I forget), and this tab has 16gb of storage) It seems to have a few quirks... I seem to have issues transitioning from cellular to wifi once in a while which requires a reboot.. I bought the Samsung folio case, which is pretty nice, and doesn't add bulk.. but sometimes the flip cover keeps the screen active...
I'm happy with my purchase.. 49.99 - Activation fee waved, and I opted for the 15/month plan.. sneaky SOB at the sprint store added a 13.00/month protection plan without telling me. Sleaze!.. Luckily I found it and removed it today. Love WAZE on this this tablet, and this fits perfectly in my console so it's like a huge GPS...
I also see that it's loaded down with useless applications.. I hope root comes soon, and somebody cooks a nice bloat-free ROM for this..
Order mine a few days ago just came in today. Ordering 2 more for the kids (and turning mobile data off.)
Went in to the store yesterday and picked this up. It was "Tablet Tuesday" that Sprint is doing this month so I walked out of there without paying anything for it. Tablet Tuesday is $50 off on tablets so of the initial price of $49 is still there next Tuesday it can be gotten for free then also.

did the same thing yesterday, however was unable to open a new line so they asked me for a $50 deposit on the line. activation fee was waived b/c of my discount so i did walk out with one for only $50, not a bad deal....only wondering how come there isnt any messaging app? theres a phone# associated with the tab so...

I went yesterday too but there was no mention of Tablet Tuesday. What do I have to do to qualify for this? Does it have to be a new account? I added the tablet onto my existing Sprint plan.

I had read about it on s4gru.com so I went in and asked about it. Not sure if every store is doing it. At my local corporate store they are doing it every Tuesday in October.

I wish I knew of this when I went in yesterday. If my store was participating in this, do you think I'll be able to go in with receipt to take advantage of the deal after the fact?
I just got mine and I really like it. Do it on sprint.com and use promo code "Mobile50" to get a $50 account credit for doing a new line

I couldnt get mobile50 to work when I ordered (online last tuesday). Hopefully cust svc can help once I receive the device (back ordered)

ROMs
Would it be possible to use ROMs from the regular Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 with the Sprint one, or would I risk a brick by doing so?
I got mine rooted and awaiting for custom recovery so far it's great. But I'm spending more time on my note 3 ATM

How'd you manage to root it?
I am thinking about getting this for my nephew for Christmas.
Go to kingoapp.com and dl the app, once your tab is rooted go to the play store and get supersu and make that the default root app and uninstall the Chinese one

I just got mine yesterday. Too good of a deal to pass up. Not the best screen resolution, but lots of good features. I hope some rooms show up pretty quick. Can't stand being stock and way too much bloatware..

The promo code "Mobile50" is no longer valid. Anyone have another?
