Hey guys, does anyone now when it will appear on the premier online store? The only alternative I get when I try to upgrade online is the Bold, and I can't access the regular store from my account ....

Back as of 12 hours ago... Sorry I missed your post. Go get it!
i heard that upgrading just then device through the premier shop doesnt extend your contract is that true?
Aha, so it is. Although it's back up to 'regular' price - $349. Crap did those rebates expire already?

Generally, no, that's not true. However, it could depend on your company's contract with AT&T.
For mine, it does extend my contract but I can upgrade much more frequently.
i bought one yesterday off their website and its still processing but i didnt see any line where they said that my contract would be extended, hopefully im right... how often are you allowed to upgrade?
It finally appeared... $367.99 no rebates... Ouch that is steep, I think I'll wait for the thanksgiving sale.
It looks like Best Buy is offering this phone at $199 without a mail in rebate. Does anyone have any experience with purchasing phones through Best Buy?

Also, in the comments someone mentioned a Mother's Day sale... anyone have any idea if they will offer this phone at a deal for Mother's Day?

I know, the "='(" was to add the innocent factor. I didn't see the mail in rebate part on Bestbuy. Might have to take my international back.
Best Buy has a decent 30-day exchange policy.
Costco Online is the way to go though. It's $189.99 before rebates and if you pre-order you get a $25 Costco gift card after rebate. Like someone mentioned, free activation, free shipping, free accessories (like car charger). Also a 90-day exchange window.
I actually ordered from Costco wireless online before, and they never actually checked that I was a Costco member...

I think this is what I will do, seems to be the best deal online. Thanks for your input.
Hello all! My wife and I are about to grab two Galaxy S3's through a new contract with Verizon (AT&T is a black hole in my area). She works at Kohls and is supposed to get a 20% discount on the monthly bill, 25% off all accessories. Someone online said that she should get a discount on the phones as well. Anybody work for a company who has Verizon Employee Discount and know anything about this?
Much thanks!
I was able to get a 15% discount buy ordering through the corporate partners website.

Through the Verizon site or your company site? That would help out a lot if we could get that discount on the new phones!

I ordered through the link on my company's site. But when I got my wife's iphone we got the same discount on that and we went into the Verizon store for that order so I think it works no matter where you order it.
I was wondering about retailers in the US that will sell the S7 unlocked from day 1 that aren't resellers on amazon/ebay. I know BestBuy sells unlocked phones now but I believe some of them are overpriced, and amazon/ebay resellers sometimes aren't trustworthy so I really don't want to deal with that extra hassle. Plus I need to buy it unlocked cause I'd like to try it for a couple weeks and sell it if I don't like it very much.

PhoneArena claims availability from the following:
AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, Verizon Wireless and U.S. Cellular stores, Best Buy, Car Toys, Sam’s Club, Staples, Target and Walmart
If I'm not mistaken Best Buy is also available in Canada so maybe there. However Best Buy doesn't seem to be offering the S7 unlocked atm.
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/promo/samsung-smartphones-151359
I don't think best buy Canada sells unlocked phones but I could be wrong... I'm on public mobile (telus) so I'll try to buy from telus or kodoo
I would love an unlocked one in a Canada also, but not holding my breath for that. I just assume Samsung will make us go through the carrier.
Now will Bell let me by one outright? That's what I'm wondering.

EBay is very safe, just buy it from a reputable seller. And you're protected by PayPal.

Yeah, I buy frequently from Ebay. I'm just guessing since it'll be a reseller they'll probably sell it for higher prices than MSRP.

Not necessarily. I bought the G4 and S6 within a few days after launch for the same price and a little less than other sites

Guess I'll just have to wait and see, thanks! Btw I noticed you're using a VIVO phone, never heard of them but I just happened to stumble upon an announcement about the XPlay 5 with Snapdragon 820 and 6gb RAM, how are they?

I read on Android Authority if I'm not mistaken the Samsung won't be selling unlocked phones directly.
DAMN! $899 from the carriers for the 32GB non-Edge.
I don't know if I can shell out over $1000 (with tax) for a carrier locked phone that gets OS updates 6 months late. Disappointed I won't be getting a new toy.
in canada we dont see unlocked phones because the big three dont like it. like the nexus 5 was sold unlocked for 399 and at fido for 500. (not sure about the price)
we are really screwed right now in canada. exchange rate is so bad. i think the S7 will be 249-299 on contract and the S7 plus 120$ more.
I called the Samsung store at Sherway Gardens in Toronto. The guy said, they DO sell unlocked phones. They are taking pre-orders and you have to go to the store for a deposit. It also comes with the free VR headset!
Certainly good news if you live close to a Samsung store. I wasn't expecting this.
So can I safely assume updates should hit these faster than carrier phones since they are straight from Samsung?

Full fledged.

That's really lucky for you. I already asked BB about the unlocked version, they hinted it might be available when the phone is released but definitely not available for preorder meaning unless it's a carrier phone no way to take advantage of the preorder bonus, unfortunately there's no local Samsung store down here. If you do go and preorder the unlocked version at a Samsung Store, mind getting the prices for us please? (s7 and s7 edge).
Had an unlocked Note 5 from the Samsung store. I don't see why they would stop selling unlocked phones.

I did it today.
It's $899 for the 32GB S7, didn't ask about the Edge. It DOES come with the bonus VR with no contract or carrier sign-up nonsense.
Verizon has an online deal at the moment where the Moto Insta-Share Projector is free when you purchase any Moto-Mod!
The cheapest Moto-Mod available that is in-stock is the Kate Spade Style Shell for $39.99. Plus shipping is FREE.
https://www.verizonwireless.com/accessories/moto-mods/
Notes:
* You do not need to have a Verizon phone to purchase accessories on the Verizon site.
* This CAN be combined with an employee discount if you currently get a discount on your Verizon bill through your employer, however you may need to add it to your cart BEFORE you log in, otherwise it may only show a 25% discount instead of the free projector offer. With my employee discount the case is only $29.99. Not all employee discounts include discounts on accessories.
Cool deal, I just can't see a use for it, for me anyways.
Sadly, the projector is sold out on their website right now.

and i talked to a Verizon chat support person. They said you need to also add the projector to your cart if you want the projector for free.
If this isn't the case, please let me know.

Wow, if so then that is stupid, since they don't even show the projector on their motomod page.
Unfortunately there is no specific info listed for the offer. Usually the free projectors are fulfilled through Motorola. That is how I got my "free with z2" projector.
With all the free projector offers lately, I have to wonder if there is a Projector V2.0 coming sometime soon. Would be nice to have higher resolution on the projector.

you have to search for it to find it.
https://www.verizonwireless.com/accessories/motorola-projector-moto-mod-black/
i bet the projector just isn't selling so they are getting rid of stock by making people buy other moto mods. trying to get people hooked into the moto mod market.
Here is every accessory that Verizon has for motorola on their site. https://www.verizonwireless.com/accessories/motorola/
Was able to pick up this deal in store. Has to be a verizon store. Not authorized dealer.
It may be best to check it out in a Verizon store. I went in and found my local store had several projectors in stock, as well as a plethora of other Moto Mods. Be prepared though, if your not a Verizon customer, be prepared for a pushy salesperson. The person who sold me the mods were constantly asking me to switch, even after I said no.
If you didn't had the chance to get one, or for everybody outside the US:
a lot people from the US are selling their free 'Projector Mods' on ebay.com. I bought the 'Insta Share' Mod at 73€ (88$) - brand new and sealed. It took 2 Weeks to deliver and today it arrived. ...in Europe they cost around 300€

same here, since I'm in Europe I've bought one from ebay ~120$ with customs included, a bargain compared to the retail price over here.
Still the offer? I've seen on the Verizon page that the projector mods are out of stock
