What does the g2 promotion have to do with this phone?
tmobike?
T-Mobile did not screw you. tmobike did. Call them up and ask for a free phone of your choice.
Prices always change. Give it a rest. Next time buy from tmobile, not tmobike. Their prices are better.

Really!?!?
The exchange/return period is only 14 days if u activated in the store and 20 days over the phone or web....thats like going to wal-mart on black friday cause the tv u bought 31 days ago is on sale for 300 dollars cheaper...ur outside the return/exchange timeline....prices are always subject to change.....and of course if you get the phone when it first comes out ur gonna pay more the phone is always cheaper a month or two after release...
Everybody knows ur gonna get good deals on everything on black friday and cyber monday...so u kinda raped urself buddy

You screwed yourself, I got my 2 MT4G's for 30 bucks a piece with new contracts from T-Mobile a month ago by negotiating with them. It is not T-Mobile's responsibility to make you not an idiot.
Gonna have to agree with everyone here.
You bent over and they stuck it in... what do you expect them to do?

things get cheaper the longer their out :/ you bought it when it was brand new... take it as a lesson learned

Oh well I will just use it for 6 months and sell it for $400 on Craigs list. I will have exchanged it for a new on by then anyway as there is something between the screen and glass INSIDE PHONE as others have had same problem (see that thread). I'll have no trouble selling the new replacement for $400... heck I sold my iPhone 3g for $280 on craigslist....
The mt4g is a very nice phone and I'm enjoying it so Ill get $258 worth of use outta it in the mean time...

Well T-Mobile redeemed themselves in my eyes today via 611.. they gave me the PREFERRED DISCOUNTED ANDROID PLAN for unlimited data for $20 a month instead of $30, saving me $240 over life of my contract, which added up over the contract means i paid a whopping $18 for this awesome phone...
Now I Don't feel like I've been ripped outta $258 I paid for a phone i could have gotten FREE 15 DAYS LATER...
Aloha from beautiful Hawaii
Soooo your surprised? Every carrier gives better deals if you WAIT and not buy the phone when it first comes out. Everyone tends to buy the phone as soon as it drops. After a month they give deals to keep sales up and get more people in

So what exactly did you tell 611? I paid the full upgrade price for the phone as well ($258) and have yet to send in my $50 rebate. I was an existing T-Mo customer, by the way.
Idk if this should be in the market-place or not, but is there anywhere i can find the Transformer for under $400? Newegg is $398, best price. But idc about $2. Should i try ebay or what?
id say buy somewhere you can return it if you have an issues. really i dont think it can get any cheaper than 399.99 i got mine at best buy.

You also have to take into account possible RMAs if you get a bad version. Newegg also doesn't charge tax in certain states. So those small things could be the deal breaker if you want to save a little money.

I highly suggest Amazon. It's $398 there also and if you have a prime account you get free 2 day shipping.
Amazon has by far the best customer service out of any supplier I have ever purchased anything from. If you have any problems at all the CS takes care of it fast and easily.
I tend to get as many electronics as possible from Amazon because they give me an ease of mind should anything go wrong with the device I know there won't be any hassle to return it.
Also, there is no sales tax (at least here in texas there isn't not sure about where you are located) making the price almost equal to the bestbuy deal I believe.

Optimus Prime offers the best advise. Buy it where you have the best return policy. I am on my second TF and some members have returned theirs multiple times for different issues. My screen died and the new one I replaced it with has worse screen light leaks than the first one and I would like to return it if it gets any worse. Get yours where you will be able to return it without any hassels if you need to. On the TF, I would probably advise buying the 1 year replacement insurance from your retailer so you don't have to box it up and send it off to Asus repair facilty in Texas after your standard 30 day retailer warranty policy expires. I have read some real horror stories...
Best buy $350 with staples $50 off tablet, PC coupon.
My buddy was looking for a tablet and I sent him the coupon (that expired today 6/17) and he walked out happy.
$350 for a major player on the front line of the android tablets is a great deal.

I have bought quite a few tablets. The TF is a great device but has manufacturing issues. I like my TF, it has the most storage of any device currently out there. My 32GB TF with 32GB MicroSD and 32GB SD has more than I should ever need. The screen resolution is the best, the battery dock allows for 16 hours of use, handy on my overseas flights. To answer your question, I think if you wait for the perfect device, you will never see it. I will buy them as they come along and be educated on each one...

I've owned a Galaxy Tab10.1, and others, before returning them and making my "real time experience" with each one. So, I can say I've owned a few tablets too but I only own one now
Thank you Best Buy return policy!
However, it would be nice to have another. Could you share that extra wealth you have and send me paypal money for another? I'll add a "Thanks" for sure, LOL

The only ones I can find used are $4 cheaper. And I'd just pay that $4 for a complete new one. If I can find a used one like yours that is a decent amount off the original, ill probably buy it.

I personally am very picky about how something functions and how it should be working. I expect something to work as it should. The transformer so far does the job well other than the light bleed i have no issues. but also do understand things do sometimes with time malfunction... but not with in the first 2 months of owning said item.
i did buy the extended warranty from best buy though. Screw Asus and their RMAs thingys might as well take it to the store cant fix it. the replace it
picky me... im on my 5th phone actually with in 2 months because they didnt work as expected. i dont put up with bull ha!

I don't think it was a mistake....I got my Atrix 2 for a penny at Best Buy back in November, and that was within a month of the Atrix 2's release.
I got mine for $50 the week it came out, then Radio Shack did a deal for free and Best Buy refunded me.

Forgot to post this last week...
My original pebble blue S3 went "missing" (don't ask- alcohol, strip club, parking lot brawl = no more phone).
Got a replacement through Asurion which ended up being a brand spanking new in the box black version, not a refurbished one. I tried to convince the operator at Asurion to give me an S4, but she wasn't having it! Thought I'd share the info for whatever purpose it may serve

Not sure what's sexy about shelling out $100 plus $120/year for a phone you got for $49 originally. I dropped Asurion after the three replacements they sent failed within days or never worked at all. Clearly what they send out are usually returned items from Verizon's stores. Verizon gave me a $100 credit and a new phone after I complained to a tier 2 supervisor.
Paying monthly plus a deductible just never made sense to me. Better to get a good case and if it does break either wait it out to buy it for your next contract or Craig's list it. You'd get a better deal.

Never bothered with those sort of plans. Last winter I slipped on ice and fell on my S3. Fortunately, I had a good solid case and the xGear tempered glass protector. Bottom line, phone suffered NO damage. XGear protector did it's job sacrificing itself which I was more than happy to replace with another.
I'm also told some Homeowner's policies can cover electronics such as phones.

i buy my phones through a site called wirefly.com great prices good service and most importantly they offer insurance 7 bucks a month no deductible and if they cant fix it they send you a brand new phone and its a pretty quick turn around

Because if you ever have any defects past the 14 day period you get the extended warranty on your phone = 2 years instead of 1. Also you get FREE overnight shipping which is $15 for them to ship the warranty replacement to you. Otherwise they give you free crappy media mail which takes like 3-5 days for you to get your replacement phone.

Walmart is sold out in both colors of the refurb units.
The release coming up in Sept is for the note 3 phone or are they releasing a new note 10.1 tablet also?
I really like my Note 10.1 and they would have to come out with something mind blowing for me to upgrade when a new note 10.1 comes out.

Yea i saw the walmart deal on gizmodo earlier. Best buy has it for $330 refurb. Mine consider that option as well seems to be a great tablet. Thanks for your response!
I bought mine refurbished on Woot.com for $299 and honestly it's just as good as brand new... I have been scared of refurbs before but now I think it's one of the best ways to go. even bought my wife a refurbished note 8.0 on ebay for $289 and hers is just like a brand new unit as well, plus depending on where you get it, most refurbs have a 90 day warranty (but if it turns out to be like my purchases, you won't need it)

The only reason I'm here is because of the $249 walmart refurb deal 2 days ago. That being said it depends on where you get the refurb from. Walmart has a very good return policy and I can take it back to any physical store without restocking fees. And there were over 500 online reviews with the majority indicating that the tablet came in brand new like condition minus the original box. That was enough for me to pull the trigger.
if it's not too late i would wait unless you want a cheap tablet to hold you over, samsung are supposedly going to announce a 1080p note series 12" tablet soon so look out for it, i'm interested myself but i am still happy with the note 10.1 though.

wish i would of saw that walmart deal sooner. they have it now for $299 which still isnt bad..
I have a question for those of you purchasing Walmart refurbs: what build number shipped on your device? My daughter and a friend's daughter both purchased Walmart refurbs and arrived with UEUCMA3 and would not update through the system. It just says the latest updates have been installed- which is obviously not true. I updated my daughter's (via ODIN), but I am curious about the experience of others.
Thanks,

The best way to get the update when auto update does not work is With your computer using samsung Kies software.But ODIN Flash is fine too..
Just letting you know there is another option..
I to agree with some of the comments above. I do not think i will upgrade to the next gen note 10 tablet.my note 10.1 runs perfect and does all i want.Also its likely to be 500.00 to 600.00 . That is a alot of money. I hope my note 10.1 will be viable for another year or so.. I also would NOT WANT A tablet bigger then 10. inches . 10 inches to me is a Monster .. Giggles.
Anyway Buy buy buy...... its half price and refurbs are useally returns or non sold new devices reboxed to sell with less warranty to clear out stock..
@erica_renee, I did try kies before ODIN, same result.

Yes, I picked mine up from Walmart and am very happy with it. Brand new looking, only difference is the refurb packaging.
It handles everything I throw at it and don't think I will need anything new anytime this year at least.
I paid 279 which was an excellent deal in itself. 249 is insane. You could probably resell if on ebay for a profit which may be why they are now sold out.
Buy one of you get the chance!
ps . I even got the drop and spill insurance since it was so inexpensive.
I bought a refurbished one from Walmart. I went with them over Best Buy because Walmart offered a two year warranty for like $40.

Lost out
I would say yes to the OP question.
I myself was going to purchase a second Note 10.1 and when I went to get one of the $259 refurbs at Walmart they were sold out, I lost out on a great deal.
I see the reburb units have hit Ebay now and the cheapest I see is $299, still a good deal, the seller sold over 380 white units and 130 gray and the white is about sold out.
.
Walmart should still have more. I got mine plus two years of warranty for $299 and some cents. I was actually considering getting the TF300 don't know why I chose the Note, but it was a sound investment.

This. The fear of refurbs is a weird failure the QA folks missed. $299 and a 2year warranty is a good deal. Just make sure you know how to take advantage of their warranty (receipts, boxes, etc) before you need to. Taking pictures/scans of the receipts is a very good idea if you don't need the originals. Thermograph paper doesn't last too long.
They emailed the warranty information.
Had $37 in eBay Bucks and picked this up:
