Holiday Specials for GSIII on Verizon - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

Anyone know of upcoming specials I might wait for?
I'm looking at pulling the trigger on one of these in the next 3-10 days.
Looks like right now if I want a Black one I can get it for $199 on contract.. but if I want white or another color, I'm paying at least $244-249.. which I don't understand, but whatever.
Thanks for your input!

i doubt they will be black friday prices but they should be cheaper. Just gloating, I snagged on from Sam's Club for $.98.:silly:
amazon has them for $79.99. http://wireless.amazon.com/Samsung-...=INDIVIDUAL_NEW&sr=1-1-entd&qid=1355352361679

Best Buy is selling them this Sunday for $50, new or upgrade.

Thanks, definitely gna get my brother one he's jealous of mine. Lol

Too late now but sams club had a free with two year contract. I'm sure something like that will come around again.

I had purchased mine at a 3rd party verizon dealer that offered price matching and took in a screen shot of Amazon's price and got the phone for 60$ (though the week before i had paid 80 for my girlfriend's the same way, the price went down after a week, i was quite surprised)

lol already too late for that :/. rooted 20 minutes after buying.

What do you suggest then is the cutoff point for what makes sense and what doesn't? I'm dealing with a thunderbolt with poor battery life and slow response time, but I like having no contract. Any tips on how to analyze this?

I got mine at staples on saturday and made $30 on the deal. They took my old Dinc2 and gave me $50 for it. I got another $5 in store coupon which brought it down to $45r for the phone. They also were doing a $50 mail in rebate on all phones $99 and up which puts $5 in my pocket. They also gave me a $25 Google play gift card. Needless to say, I upgraded both my phone and my wife's phone too. With both phones they paid me $60 to take them.

Been there done that I also "had" 2 thunderbolts 1 I had 6 remans 1 had 1 reman with the promise they will work 3 trouble tickets and 1.5 months later I slipped into 2 s3 with unlimited data and upgrades left intact.
I spent a butt load of cash to protect them all in all 60 gigs later I'm on top
GET THE FREAKING TOTAL EQUIPMENT COVERAGE $6.99 A MONTH
IT EXTENDS THE FREAKING WARRANTY UNTIL YOU BUY ANOTHER FREAKING PHONE THEN STILL KEEP THE FREAKING WARRANTY
CRYING ON THIS FORUM ABOUT THIS AND THAT PRICELESS
THEN YOU RIDE IT OUT TILL SOMETHING GOES SOUTH THEN PLAY THE GAME trouble tickets, remans, problems, software bugs that won't fix themselves updates that won't ever come cancelled hardware failure
"HARD RESETS DONT NOT FIX HARDWARE FAILURE"
I HATE GOING TO THE CORP STORES BUT SOMETIMES YOU WILL HAVE TOO SO THEY CAN NOTE THE ACCOUNT THE PEOPLE ON THE PHONE CANT SEE WHAT THE PHONE IS DOING
I have rambled on here how to get a different device many times
And I read the same stuff over and over
Someone needs to fix the freaking app so it will find what your looking for

I dont know about this. I do believe you are telling the truth, it seems like no one at best buy knows. I was at best buy yesterday and the guy told me 24th along with motorola Xoom. I have a droid x and my 14 days are up on the 23rd. If its the 24th I am going to go in on the 23rd and return the droid x and get the thunderbolt the next day.

Both Minnesota Districts have no Thunderbolts in stock and 0 on the way, and 0 in the territory warehouse. I watched as the employee in Lakeville, MN today showed me the RSS page (Best Buy Inventory program). Had the right SKU, $749.99 price. Sad to say but it is really looking like the 24th. Keep in mind, these are the 2 districts their headquarters reside in. There wasn't even any in Edina, the location that is literally across the street from Best Buy HQ...
The question to the Florida guy, did you physically see these stock numbers?

Lol... while I hope it comes tomorrow, this forum is getting ridiculous. I didn't receive a call from my best buy, but I don't care. I won't be using my pre order unless it comes with free tethering or an ounce of gold. $750 off contract? Might as well start a line and pay the etf... wtf.

Trust me I want to believe! I was just throwing in what I found today. And im not calling the guy in florida a liar either. Having worked at best buy in shakopee, mn for nearly a year, 3 years ago, I never saw a product that suddenly change to show tons of stock and see none on the way. Only way I see this as being possible is if Verizon and best buy made a huge deal along the lines of "hide the tracking info in case the iphone sales flop we will let you exclusively release it early." Just my thoughts.
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
Well I've bought alot of Phones from BestBuy In some cases, they would not get that phone until Fedex delivered it on that release day. I dunno Maybe the Verizon rep is right or wrong, but never the less its coming this month.
I don't know why they'd release it without advertising...most likely to help the iphone get as many sales as possible, but that's just sad. this thing is a beast, and deserves the kind of marketing the EVO got from Sprint..

where about in orlando, send me a pm id love to know people personally with thunderbolts nearby
in regard to some to stores not getting them and some will.....
a week ago i made a post saying it was gonna be the 14th, when i was on the phonewith various people from besy buy corp, id say about 50/50 of the time, id get a response saying...stores will start selling them on the 14th, however the stores who had the bad winter storms could be as late is the 17th.
is wisconsin one of those state that got 2 feet of snow by chance?
with that said, id think that was period when the phones were actually shipped, (when all the snow went through the midwest areas) apparently with a "tell no one they are here" note stuck to them? just my theory for what its worth i guess

[Q] Best price for an Infuse

OK, I'm ready to give up my Backflip, and move up to a Infuse. I saw that Best Buy has them for around $100, any better deals out there? I am elgible for upgrade, with ATT, and saw that Amazon has it for $150, and Walmart for $130.
Damn 100$ isn't bad at all,doubt you will find better.

I just upgraded to the Samsung Infuse 4G through AT&T website and got a refurbished one for $19.99.
Just today 8/27/2011 so dont know how long its been at this price. I had been checking in on it for some time but the owest they had dropped the refurbished one
to was $149.99 so I was surprised it was $19.99 so I had to get it.
I picked mine up for $97 at Sam's Club.

Wal-Mart Special!
Just seen today with a qualifying 2 year contract they are going to for $98.99..I paid $160.00 for mine at our local Costco.
If you're a costco member, it might be worth the extra money to buy it there. They give you 90 days to decide if you like the phone, with unlimited exchanges and model swaps.
I believe, if you wait a week, you can get the sgs2. Fyi

$19 at Costco ... special sale. There was a big sign last Thursday on the mobile booth. Think it lasts a few weeks. This was in Union NJ but I assume it is national (I think it is in their latest coupon book).

More like "at least" 3 weeks.
bleh...at this point I say wait for the Holiday
Thats for the info! I'm not a costco member, but will look into that this morning. My thought on the sg2 is that it will be $200 when it is released (next week, next month, whenever), and will not come into the $50 range anytime soon.

I believe you can tell them you want to "check it out" and they will give you a 1 day shopping pass but you pay 10% more. It's also possible you can buy at the mobile kiosk without being a member (just like the pharmacy). Besides, you must have at least 1 friend who is a member.
Just looked online, Costco on line is $119. I did notice that several of the phone prices are cheaper instore, vs online. Walmart online was $129, but $98 in the store. Might be time for a road trip, nearest Costco is 50 miles away.
or, as my wife is advising me, I could just wait........

I doubt you'd be able to buy it without a membership. I don't know about the one-day pass, but when I purchased mine at costco, the mobile kiosk sent me to the regular checkout with a voucher to pay (where they checked my costco card as usual), and they had me wait there while someone ran back to pick up my phone/accessories.
One additional point is that you do get a free car charger and some other useless crap along with your purchase, so if the prices are similar, you save the $5-10 if you actually want one.

Thinking About Getting a G2x

So Someone localy is gonna sell me there 3 month old G2x thats in good shape for 100 dollars.. I currently Have AT&T. I know it says it doesnt support AT&T`s 3G bands. But I also read somewhere that it is possible. I dont know what the posting date for that was. But Would there be any way as of now? or is it still A no go.
And Would it be worth buying for the 100 to resale it maybe?
Also what would be the process of unlocking it? cause with my galaxy S2 I downloaded an app. Could I call up tmobile asking for it since I dont have a tmobile account? or how much would it cost for me to get it unlocked? (The cheapist site) Thanks
Buy it for $100.
Resell on ebay $220-260 depending on the condition

The first question you should be asking is why is he only selling it for $100? He could easily get double that. Just because the phone is only 3 months old doesn't mean nothing is wrong with it. I buy and sell phones on craigslist quite frequently and I'm always wary of the deal that seems too good to be true. Remember, often times, if it sounds too good to be true, then it probably is....I'd exercise extreme caution.

Some ahole complained and I had to remove the link from my signature. Some jerk-off from the AT&T Nitro HD thread. PM me for my website for unlock code. Thanks for thinking of me.
BTW, $100 for a G2X is a steal, whether you get 3G service or not. If you want to spend more money look for the new Lg Nitro HD for AT&T. 1.5Ghz dual core Qualcomm cpu and larger screen and on AT&T you get 3G and LTE.

Who's returning their 9gb for a 25gb?

I think we can start a lawsuit against samsung for false advertising. Just joking but when you say I'm getting 16gb, that means 16gb. I dont give a rats **** what youre thinking about installing etc etc just dont use my space and say I have a 16gb device. Sorry for the quick rant but really who's going to go with the "32gb" version?
While I would gladly pay the additional $50 to upgrade, I don't want to pay that plus a $35 restocking fee too. Then it wouldn't be worth it especially if there is a fix to allow the swapping of internal/external memory.

I'm holding out for the 32gb device anyhow. Regardless of carrier and Samsung bloat, there is still a slot for expandable memory. I understand its frustrating with the percentage of space taken up. Computer companies do the something, just not to that scale.

True but samsung over does it I think, even on their laptops. Recovery partitions up the gazoo

Took mine back last week. Will pick up the 32 to play with. But still love my HTC One. My only issue was memory so will be happy. Will go black mist this time

I'm leaning towards doing this and come back only and when the bootloader is unlockable for sure on the 32gb version. I updated with the ota yesterday and who knows what that mucked up. I know its been marked as a safe ota sorta but this locked bootloader situation isnt making me want to keep this 16gb thing. But one thing I know is I do like this device, performance not bad at all, battery life better than I expected. I'll come back for a 32gb unlockable at&t device and if not I guess I'll go international. Cant wait for custom roms

that........... is AWESOME! I love this country, don't get me wrong, and I didn't say anything about Americans being the only ones who are sue-happy, but I couldn't love this pic any more than I do! Even with me absolutely despising coffee or tea or anything like that, haha
Anyone considering purchasing the lg Optimus g pro?

I think we can start a lawsuit against samsung for false advertising. Just joking but when you say I'm getting 16gb, that means 16gb. I dont give a rats **** what youre thinking about installing etc etc just dont use my space and say I have a 16gb device. Sorry for the quick rant but really who's going to go with the "32gb" version?

Well, how about that new laptop with the 320GB hard drive that only has 250GB of free space due to the OS and recovery partition? </rant>
Seriously, I just got a 64GB microSD card from Newegg for $54, so I'm perfectly happy and loving my new S4!

They're my 2 favorite sports teams, so sue me.

I am for sure
not I... 16 GB of free space isn't worth $86 to me...
Some folks have been able to get a refund on their $35 restocking fee after calling in to a CS retentions rep. Be nice as usual. I've been thinking of telling them that I won't renew my contract if you charge me a restocking fee. It might or might not work but if I do exchange, I plan to talk to a retention rep & ask for a refund.
i wont be switching. 9GB is still plenty large for my taste. If I need more space, an SDCard will suffice.
Nope, I've already got a 32GB microSD card in there and if/when I fill that up I'll be able to pick up a 64GB for less than the price difference between a 16GB and a 32GB,
I'm on the fence here, only thing really pushing me towards returning the device is the darn ota I installed yesterday.
In related news, if you cant beat em sue em....

Best thread title of 2013. Thumbs up.

Verizon is shipping on the 4th!

Just got off the line with Verizon, im on a launch day galaxy nexus and called to see if I could upgrade to a n3 and keep unlimited data.
I originally preordered under my month to month feature phone line and saw people able to keep unlimited.
I called and the rep Dawn said she personally owns a n2 and is upgrading, I did not pry, but she said "when they ship out on the 4th"
I asked and she confirmed multiple times that they are shipping on the 4th..
I have the whole call recorded, I just need to edit and upload.
So, I was able to upgrade the main line and confirm I could keep unlimited data.
The extra treat was her telling me multiple times that they are shipping on the 4th and us guys who preordered should get our devices
On the 5th.
Again, I have the proof on the recorded call and I will be posting a link shortly.
I can't vouche for honesty of the rep, she sounded informed and checked with supervisor multiple times...
Let's see how this plays out!

when did ATT charge your card before they shipped?
Omfg this gnex is so slow to edit this call!!!
Which would mean that I wouldn't get it until the 7th since I'm having it shipped to my office
That would still be (3) days earlier, which would still make me happy, but I can't say that it doesn't hurt to see other people on other carriers get theirs sooner even though Verizon announced pre-ordering first. #StupidFirstWorldProblems
Interesting...I wonder if stores will have it on the 4th...

Definitely hopeful that this isn't a hoax!
Talked to a rep earlier about upgrading my shipping to overnight and she said maybe the 8 or 10

Oh for the love of all that is good! You should have picked a different title for the thread. People who are freaking psycho over a phone are gonna flame the hell out of you if it doesn't ship out on the 4th.
I personally enjoy reading what others are told and the rumors that may or may not be true. We could do a fantasy league for phone ship dates. Oh the passionate discussions.
Seriously, thanks for posting. I'm definitely ready to go get my new GN3. Crazy how my old phone suddenly seems like total crap and the only resolution is a GN3!
Went by my verizon corporate store after a deer tried to jump over my van and crashed into the back of it. Then a red wasp attacked me going down the road, after a panic stop the seat belt hung my shell holster. Didn't see it in the road and ran over it. Had to get another. Anyway they said the 11th for the N3 in store.

Who Ships on a Friday?
I don't hold anyone responsible for "leaked" info that doesn't actually come to fruition, I think we are all hearing different things (because no one really knows), and no one should get bent out of shape over a phone. I will miss my beloved GNEX. ALTHOUGH, WTF VZW? Who ships on a Friday? I really hope they meant arriving on the 4th. Anyway, I checked with the store I preordered mine at here in Seattle. They told me it was supposed to ship this week, in typical VZW fashion, they will be the last carrier to ship. The guys said they would update me with the shipping info when it ships. Waiting impatiently!
K- Heres some of the 45min call,

I listened to the .mp3 files, and yes, you're right. The rep did confirm the 4th. I hope she actually knows what she's talking about. The fact that the Verizon Galaxy S 4 released a week earlier than the pre-order date is encouraging.

I wondering if I heard right but she confirmed that you can go into Walmart or other retail like Best Buy and still keep your unlimited?
I preordered at Best Buy and again on the Verizon page when the glitch was open. If Best Buy calls me to pick up my phone before Verizon ships it out will I still be able to keep my unlimited if I go the Best Buy route?
