You poor thing.
The $399 off-contract price I paid makes it difficult to sympathize.

Lol I would never pay more than $100 bucks for a phone especially now that newer and better phones are coming out so often. But that sucks though I must admit.

Well 1 penny at amazon. So def not worth returning just for a penny.lol

i paid 260 for mine. bought it from ebay...
it depends, but atleast i m not stuck with it for 2 years, or giving it back early and paying another 100 some for new device.
i will use it five six months and sell it for 240 i guess..

35$ at the shack . Happy so far .

is back at $79.99

its free(+tax) at costco, well at least in northern cali. plus if u break it in the first 90 days, they will still accept it as a full return

Just go to at&t,ask them to price match someone who has it cheaper. I bought a case,car charger,and got screen protectors free (buy 2 get 1 free). And they made the price of the phone free

Same price NO tax on AmazonWireless. Except, ironically, in Cali where I believe Amazon now charges tax.
How broken does it have to be for a Costco return...i.e. will they take a bricked phone? Will they also swap it out for a different model (Infuse?)

Nice find.

[Q] Best Buy price ?

i'm friends with several at the mobile department, if it can be done they'll do it. if not, i'll wait until they have it in stock, return mine to at&t, and buy it there. i like black tie that much...although i've yet to use it.

I'm wondering if they'll price match radio shack at $49.99. I'm hoping they will of course. I used to work at Best Buy, so I hopefully may be able to convince a BB Mobile employee to price match.

No they can't price match online prices, only if a local store has that price and it's in stock
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using Tapatalk 2

Right, I understand that. I guess I wasn't aware that the Radio Shack price was online only.

I also went to a best buy in stl and I ask the best buy employee, so when's the htc one x coming out?! I think it's going to be another month atleast. And that was Sunday he said this. Lol the store I went into was a best buy mobile store ONLY! But didn't know they would price match or I would of gone with them.

Still no word on the BB price? They usually are the cheapest around. I guess either way I could price match to $150, but I'd be surprised if they didn't already beat it.

I believe from when I did my pre order that their price is 200 for a upgrade. It should be the same price as ATT maybe as low as 150.00.
I went with them as I signed up for that free 50 dollar gift card with a upgrade earlier this year so that on top of the fifty I used to pre order and some other gift cards means I will be paying about 75 for it.
As for the info I would wager that they will send out a official email around Friday saying it will be ready for pick up on Sunday. That is what happened with my Galaxy Note I had on pre order.

Which mall did you go too?

Without contract price?

There's an AT&T HTC One X on eBay that I wanna bid on, but I can't find the retail price of this phone anywhere. Amazon.com has it listed at $729.99, but that is ridiculous. I looked at wireless.att.com but they only show the upgrade price. Anyone have a better source?

It was listed at $549 without contract at my local store.

I can confirm $550. I work for AT&T and for Android phones, the no-contract price is generally the upgrade price plus $350.

My store (ATT in Sonora, CA) does have the one X on a kiosk, as well as some other beats junk. Played for it for a few minutes in the store, and I must say, It's smoooooth as silk my friend.

None of the stores around me have one on display. It really sucks.

Amazon also has it for $549 no contract also. It's best for some since they don't charge tax for certain states.
Go to their Amazon Wireless page. If you use their regular site, it will just list the marketplace price.

I must have been in the wrong place then because the page I saw said $729.99 and $149.99 on contact.
But yeah that's why I thought about eBay; even if I have to pay full price there won't be a $36 upgrade fee or taxes. I'll do Amazon if this auction gets outta hand, but right now it's only at $250 so we'll see.

It's under the Wireless Amazon site. Here is the white one

I saw this:

So they're completely lying about the list price to make it look as if they're saving you money.

32G Galaxy S4: Amazon or Costco?

Alright, I see the 32G SGS4 in stock with AT&T. Did anybody see this one on Amazon or at Costco yet?

I asked at my local Costco and they said they haven't recieved any indication that they'll have the 32gb version, at least anytime soon. I'm planning on just returning my 16gb to Costco next week and just buying the 32gb from att.

I went to costco today and they are selling the 32GB SGS4 for $200.00, $50 discount.
They are also selling the HTC One for $129.99
This is the Costco in Azusa, CA

Did they have it in stock? Or will have it in the future, and if the future, did they have a date? I've been waiting on costco/walmart/amazon to get the 32gb, hopefully at a discount.
This sounds like great news.

They had the black 32GB in stock for $200. I also got some information on their protection plan which is better than Square and Trades. It's $100 up front and the deductible is only $25. It's a shame my upgrade is in July 1st.
Good luck getting them. The HTC One was completely sold out though, only because they didn't get many of them. But it looked like the SGS4 was readily available.

Are you certain they had the black 32gb in stock? I spoke with our local costco who said they do not have it and at this point will not have it, and he checked with the Azusa store and they had no indication that they were carrying or would carry the 32gb?
May give them a call directly in a second, just wondering if you were able to confirm in person with the device that they had the 32gb?
I did see on costco's site that they list the 16gb version as $249 - $50 discount for a total of $199, rather than just straight $199. Wonder if that was the confusion?

I wrongfully assumed so due to the 250 price point being marked down when it's Costco mistake for advertising the 16Gb was 250 before the sale.
They have the 16Gb,sorry.

Not a problem I was really hoping that I was getting the runaround but it looks like I'll just need to go to ATT and buy it outright, could be worse. Now if they would just announce when the active was coming out so I can decide if its really worth waiting 2 months until mid July

S4 cost might be lowered after Google IO?

Google announced that they will be selling the stock version of S4 LTE version for £427 ($649) on Google play. Currently the lowest cost sim-free S4 in the UK is £500+. I personally think that the price will drop soon. I am sure it will be a good news for everyone

Not in the U.S.A. it won't.

If we paid US prices on the UK then nearly all of our Sim free phones would be cheaper. This would retail for £499 of it comes to the UK

You're forgetting taxes, and also VAT for the uk
£427 + 20% VAT = £512.40
Though I wouldn't be surprised if it was more than this as stuff in the UK is rarely the exact figure as the US price + vat

£427 already includes VAT mate. Its only added if it was shipped from the US.

Taxes always make UK prices more expensive. It's why we're called rip-off britain.
Consider the 8gb Nexus 4, a phone sold on the same website as the 'nexus' s4
US Price = $299, which converts to £196
But the 8gb nexus 4 costs £239 here, a 22% increase
So a realistic price for the S4 would be 427x1.22 = £521
Trust me, stuff is always more expensive here, and never the direct currency conversion

Having lived in Australia and Canada I can tell you this country is going to the dogs, its just a shame they're so tight on immigration!
Australian nexus 4 is 20$ more in Australia, I was earning 25$ an hour working in GAP... We get raped in the UK

The price of S4 (LTE) version has dropped to £450 now on amazon. High five for a good prediction! ...no one? ok

For people getting a subsidized phone from a carrier the price for a TW-less SGS4 on Play is pretty much irrelevant. And the masses like "stuff" and the lack of TW won't be perceived as a benefit so if the prices between a Play SGS4 and unlocked SGS4 are close the standard SGS4 will win. When the GN was the same price as the SGS2/3 Samsung only sold 750K of them and it was available subsidized on quite a few carriers. So it’s doubtful that the Play price, which Samsung likely controls (it’s not a Nexus phone), will influence Samsung’s pricing strategy.
