Walmart offering S 4 for $168 again - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General

As the title states. If you still haven't ordered, it's not a bad deal. Some folks who ordered early are already seeing shipments. Not mine though! :crying: Nevertheless, this is just an FYI for you guys Many folks were not charged tax either. Not me though! :crying:

If you don't want to wait try going in to a store and see if it's in stock. I preordered on the 17th and mine hasn't even shipped yet.

Ecell Ebay Craziness

E-cell was selling the sensation last night for 419 pounds, the purchases rained down on them myself included...
This morning they have revised their price to 449, but still very cheap, its definitely still the cheapest around...
Just check Ebay and search for HTC Sensation, E-cell will be shown usually near the top

Well they are a reputable company with quite a massive feedback, and in the UK we are covered by distance selling regulations which gives us 14 days cooling off period and we can return within that time for a full refund or exchange.
I think 419 is definitely no money at all for the HTC Sensation
Are they an authorized Samsung retailer? If not, be careful with the warranty.

Its a HTC Phone mate, and all new phones are covered by law which states a 12 month warranty.
If they are a HTC Partner you will get 2 years...
Do you know when you'll get yours? I really wanna know if it's unbranded XD
they say 7-10 days but the sim-free version isn't supposed to be out till the end of june.

To be honest mate, for that price im not too worried 419 for the sensation is a steal I think
Even 449 is still a great price...
What i have seen of E-Cell is they get their stock the same time as others, so its just a matter of waiting.
Sounds like an advertisement thread to me. New guy + Ebay seller mentioned and praised.
If I find links to ebay in this thread, I'll lock it.
@ OP
Previous poster is right, new member + Ebay support thread
Just a heads up guys

Lol. Im waiting for mine too. I managed to get mine from E-cell while it was £419. A bargain I must say. . Just can't wait to receive it. Idiots are posting it after a week

As it happens im not a new member, I was under the name of Jupiterdroid but erased my account as i have a massive year at university this year and would not be using my account as much.. You can even confirm that with Mick Channon.. So before you start throwing accusations around find out facts! I had well over 2000 posts with the JD account, i wanted it closed as i knew it would be inactive for long periods of time. So Mod get running to Mick and he will tell you the story..
I bought the Sensation for 419, dont you think that is worth writing about when the actual price is 500? Just trying to help the community when i can

Good buy mate
There isnt anywhere else cheaper thats a fact Even though they have now moved it to 450 its still the cheapest. I think they really undercooked it at 419, they had like 15 sales in 5 hours lol.
I know. I was shocked. Lol. I was actually In two minds about buying it now or a month or two down the line. Glad i got it now.
I got mine around midnight.
419....I paid that much for my dhd over a month after it was released.
I'll let you know how it goes once I get it. Now just hope these bootloaders will be unlocked. Then I can design my own theme and flash away

I would really advise you to be very careful when dealing with ecell.
Just google ecell ebay.
They have a very sketchy record with high value items like phones.
I bought a nexus one over a year ago. Had to file a paypal dispute after I found out that they lied about shipping the phone.

That does sound dodgy, but with over 600,000 phones sold and a good feedback in the high 90's im sure your one was a minor glitch in comparision.
In the UK we have distance selling regulations on our side, so if you dont like it, return it within 14 days and get a refund

Actually it is not 600 000 sold phones. It is 600 000 sold items with a vast majority being low-value items - this is how they boost their feedback.
The research I've done after I ordered my n1 from them indicates that this it was not a minor glitch and their tactics is based on waiting for the 40-day PayPal dispute window to expire. They come up with excuses as to why they haven't shipped yet or outright lie to you (as was in my case) claiming that the phone has been shipped.
Maybe they've changed their ways, I don't know. Just thought a heads up was in order.

your actually right, looking through the negative feedbacks im alarmed at the significant number of feedbacks regarding phones arriving a month late. im not sure now whether im going to go ahead with them. they did seem abit dodgy, only thing that was persuading me to buy was the 60,000 feedback

Count Me In! Now Just Let Me Pre-Order

I am pretty excited about the Surface. So much so that I just sold my fun (but still not business useful) ASUS Transformer Prime with the keyboard dock for $475. Not a bad resale price. Now, to wait and wait and wait for the Surface prices and preorder.
My plan is to get an RT version for my "tablet" needs and then an Ultrabook with touchscreen or good touchpad with PRO on it when it is released. Also going to try Windows Phone 8 and leave Android (still like Droid) behind.
Does anyone expect it to be any day now on the prices/pre-order news?
I'm trying to sell mine for that price. Where'd you fetch that?
Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using xda premium
Sold it on Amazon...went in less than 24 hours. Now that money is waiting to be traded for a Surface. I wish more info would come out about if we can pre-order and where we can buy online. All I know is it goes on sale in Microsoft Stores (and pop up holiday stores) Midnight on the 26th. I am nowhere near one so I want pre-order info!
Thanks for the info! I just listed mine on amazon as well! Looking forward to some windows surface to compliment my zune collection!

You are right...it was about $450.00 which is still good after shipping (which is far more expensive then the credit they give you.) I always ship with insurance too.

You never know. MS is known for lowering the price of their products to gain customer base earlier on. They might do that with the surface since they can handle a small loss. They did it with the xbox and now look how many people bought and play the 360.
Yeah it's weird you can't pre-order online or anything anywhere, not sure what MS is thinking about
They wouldn't want you to go to their store to preorder?

Walmart Pre-Order Thread

Hi All
I didn't see any Walmart pre-order threads and I personally couldn't resist the $168 price and pre-ordered for three lines. I was told on the phone after I ordered that they expect it to be around May 1st before it ships. Anyone have additional info?
Am I really the only one?
I pre-ordered from walmart and only am guessing about when it might show up.

It was $168 with no tax and free shipping, but it looks like they have already raised it to $198 now.
I preordwred from Walmart as well but my line isn't eligible for upgrade until May 7. I tried moving it up but att will only do early upgrade if I buy from them

I will be patient. I will be patient. I will be patient!
Have to tell myself this every few hours. Especially as I'm reading the posts on here. I'm left wondering if people are being too hard on the phone or it's really that much of a disappointment. I know a lot has to do with preference but two things that bother me about Samsung's direction is general this time around is the locked bootloader and the bloatware added by them (not AT&T - that's expected).
C'mon Walmart, put one in my hand so I can find out for myself.
Edit:
Tried doing a chat with a rep. Seems like they still have 4/27 as the launch date. He couldn't assure anything though:

50% off Samsung Accessory

I jumped onto samsung.com today and registered my new S4. When I got done I got an e-mail for a coupon code for 50% off any accessory $50 or less. Figured I might as well get a spare battery/charger combo for $25 after savings. I searched the forums and didn't find anything about this already being posted.

Will be registering my device as soon as I get it and probably ordering the same item you did...Was it free shipping?
It showed orders over $50 was free shipping. Under $50 is was like $3-4 USPS shipping. I was going to order the extra battery with charging case but sold out, on a notification list now.
Didn't offer me a discount
I received the 50% off discount in an email and the code is a one time use for products 49.99 and less. Can be used for up to 5 products on one order. I used it on a case and a micro usb to usb cable.
Anyone got a code I could use since it's good for up to 5 uses? Thanks in advance.

It might not be worth the bother. 50% seems like a good deal on the surface, but I've been pricing the items available at the Samsung website for the S4 and it seems that most if not all of the items can be bought through Amazon at the same or better price than 50% off at Samsung. Plus, I am a Amazon Prime member, so for me I can get free 2-day shipping on a lot of it for free. Take into account that some of the popular items at Samsung are back ordered and Amazon seems to be a better deal overall (for the items I looked at).
I called and got everything 50 off. 2 Smart docks and 2 Allshare hubs. Both priced over $50. I don't think Tele sales has realized the coupon is different this time around.

Oh just my experience. Must remember today is technically Friday right now and the weekend doesn't count as far as then delivering. Maybe physically going into best buy may work..not sure
Sent from my SM-N900P using Tapatalk
No, best buy hasn't got the 64gb in store by me, and won't.
Amazon with overnight delivery depending on the warehouse it ships from is your best bet.
