Nowhere. You will not find dirt-cheap, unlocked smart phones anywhere in New York City.
Perhaps from a crackhead or thief.
Mobilecityonline.com has a storefront in Tribeca. Its worth a shot.

My friend works as a manager for the rogers call center in montreal and he tipped me that an email has been sent from purchasing HO in Toronto that Rogers will not purchase any quad-core phone except the HTC One S until Q4 2012. My friend is very credible and even though we had debated on the fact that this is a ridiculous claim because it would go against the normal evolution of technology, he assured me that the email comes from high up the chain of command. But as he pointed out, the GS2 was released in back in June 2011 and Rogers didnt acquire it until October.
In any case, i believe him because he would lie to me but i'm curious to know why...this would naturally mean that unless a snapdragon S4 variant is released, no GSIII for Rogers Canada until October
I believe they are placing limits on themselves so they have an excuse for releasing the GSIII so late after the international i9100 was released. The AT&T (and I think rogers has an ATTAIN too) wasn't released until well after the i9100 (like 5 months?) And its nearly identical... so I wouldn't expect them to get the GS3 until Q4 anyways

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.

Uh... What? T-Mobile is known for having the cheapest subsidized pbones.. Most other carriers sell new phones around $299 with an upgrade. I paid $99 for my s2.

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!!!!!
Leaked Staples doc show Galaxy S4 coming to AT&T April 26, T-Mobile may 1 Verizon MAY
The new 5-inch Galaxy S4 to be tentatively available for AT&T on April 26, T-Mobile on May 1, and Verizon on May 30 says leaked Staples training sheet
So far nobody has given a firm date for the release of the Samsung Galaxy S4, but this document from Staples that was leaked to Engadget may hold the answers. Clearly marked as tentative, the sheet says the S4 will hit AT&T on April 26, T-Mobile on May 1, and Verizon on May 30. There is no mention of the Sprint model, and the leaked materials

I did the exact same thing and am also using the 4s. I hate it!! However, I was able to get a lot more money selling my s3 before they announced the s4 at the unpacked event...
Same! Lost patience and sold the iPhone for a nexus 4.

Hey guys,
I see a lot of people asking here where to get the devices. I guess is usefull we share here where and how we got our S8/S8+. This thread can help a lot to answer doubts and save some money.
Canada Bell says the earliest will be April 18th, and I was told mine was first s8+ pre-order in the city.
Clover UK. Importing it to the US to use on cricket wireless. Been using the exynos variant of Samsung phones since the s6
