Best price for a Sensation w/o Walmart store?

No Walmart store around me.
Can you get the Walmart deal online?
Any other deals to be had?

Picked up mine at Costco on Sunday for $170. If its goes on sale in 30 days I'll get the sale price.

Damn, $250 for upgrades, and that's without a $50 rebate available.

I was at Walmart today & they also wanted $250 to upgrade...I passed. Plus I'm not big on 2yr contracts...

I'd wait until it goes on sale shortly, I'm sure crazy deals will pop up around that time. I got mine from wal-mart online @ $148 but I had an upgrade coming. Nice to see you thinking about getting one.

Planning to purchase the HTC Sensation 4G online? Keep an eye on T-Mobile's Twitter acct. for a $50 off promotional code Wed. morning.

The Walmart site says the purchase must be made by the 16th now. Backordered where I live.

The Costco price was a new contract.

i want to buy it without contract, because i am from Bulgaria
where is the best(cheapest) place to do that?

It's $179.00 on amazon wireless
amazon wireless is selling it for $179.00 and you don't need a mail in rebate for that price. This price is for upgrades and new plans. Just thought I would share that. I personally hate mail in rebates. Oh, and also free two day shipping and no sales tax. So yeah.

Amazon is listing it as back ordered. FYI...you will pay an ETF of $150 with Amazon if you cancel your account within 180 days. That's on top of T-Mobile's $200.

That shouldn't matter unless someone doesn't want to stick with their plan. I've been with t-mo forever and am not leaving until ATT devours up my contract. Sucks that's they're sold out, but it gives me time to sell my other phones so that I can buy it.

A few questions:
Is this available to upgrades as well? (People who have recently completed a 2-year contract.)
Can you keep a grandfathered plan (myFaves) or does it make you sign up for one of the new standardized plans?
Can you bundle it with the $120 Father's day special?

Wow Wal-mart beat out wirefly too for cheapest price. Unexpected but makes happier knowing I got the cheapest possible deal out.

HOLY SH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They charge you FULL TAX for the FULL PRICE of the phone ($550)??
PLUS an $18 "upgrade" fee?!
PLUS shipping?! (UPS Ground $5.99 or 3-day UPS Express $19.99)
Wow!
Is there any reason why you would buy through T-Mobile rather than Amazon or Wirefly????
All these extra costs just completely wipe out the savings from that $50 coupon. What the heck??

$50 Google Play Store Credit

So I don't know if anyone is aware, but if you're in the US, you can get a $50 play store credit. Here is the link to the proof.

Shocking! We probably pay more for the phone in the UK so should get a nice Google play voucher

Yeah, really awesome, I thought when I read this on Droid-Life or so. Until I found out that this doesn't work in EU. Cool move Samsung...

You got a £75 ($120), £100 ($160) off the Gear watch and a Free £80 ($130) Bluetooth speaker if you got the phone from Phones4U - even upgrades.
They also gave the £75 voucher with the Note 2 and Note 1 - I had all 3!

I got mine from Carphone Warehouse so only got a free Galaxy Tab 3 7" with mine.

LOL.......nice :laugh:
Everyone's a winner!

meanwhile in the Philippines we don't get anything and we pay a hundred more $$$ than US & UK, veryy lol..

Mate, here in Oz when you buy a phone they give you the phone, box and accessories in the box. That's it.
I've read that in the states they have a certain time to use the phone and if they don't like it take it back and swap for another. I've had a DOA phone before that I had to almost fight the store personel to replace and it was under a day old.. Occasionally a bone is thrown our way , like buy the SG Note 3 and get the Galaxy gear for $100 off, but honestly this is pitiful as I have to throw a couple hundred in to redeem. This offer is given with no commitment to pay for anything else.
This is lousy service from Samsung to favour 1 country over all others. My money is just as valuable to me as anyone else and it REALLY bites when I am subsidising another countries purchase price and promotions and getting d!ck back....

Its unfair to some other country Note 3 user as we did not get $50 Google play store voucher :crying:

Offer is already over - there are no more $50 vouchers left.

In france, they lend us the Galaxy Gear during 2 month for free :laugh:

delivery dates

maybe 4/17 for me. (128gb black E)
ordered by 1am PST

I ordered from VZW this morning. Got the white 64GB. I wanted the gold/platinum but the estimate ship dates was starting at 5/01. So went with the white instead. Also pre order from BB last week but they say it might not be in the store until 4/12 so canceled.

i wonder if well get it early like t-mo users:highfive:

Wont be early with Verizon.

Verizon seems to deliver pre-orders after they are available in stores.

That hasn't been the case with any of the iPhone pre-orders.

That is the problem. If they ship by 4/10 we will get our pre-orders after they are available in the stores. T-Mobile AT&T and Sprint have all shipped their pre-orders so their customers will have the phone before 4/10. Good customer service. Verizon is saying they will ship on 4/10 so we might not get the phones until Monday 4/13 or later.
We should all comment about that on twitter and Facebook and all social media.

Ok, so then according to that, all phones will already have been shipped by the 10th, and some earlier.

That is what Verizon Support has led us to believe. I want to say that there is a post on how someone already got theirs!

I just pre-orderd my Black 64GB, paid for Expedited next day (my corporate/employee discount allowed me the extra money to splurge) and am hoping for Saturday
Earlier wouldn't break my heart in the least, though

If they ship on the 10th or by the 10th, I will be greatly impressed.
My current ship date is estimated for April 17th. I ordered the 128gb Black non edge model. I guess we will if it ships early. I am not banking on it though. So long as it ships on Friday next week, I will be happy.

I'm also hoping they will ship early enough to arrive by 4/10. Otherwise we'll all be waiting until Monday the 13th, unless you paid for overnight shipping.
I guess we will find out tomorrow :fingers-crossed:

If there's no shipment notifications tomorrow I may strongly consider canceling the pre-order so I can just pick it up in store on Friday. I don't see them selling out. I get that a pre-order ensures you get a device but it would be kind of ridiculous if they're delivered after they're available for purchase in store.

Nexus Player Firesale at Target!!!

Hey guys just a heads up that the Nexus Player is on sale at target for $24.99!!! They're selling out fast so call your local target and get one on hold before they're all gone! Just thought i'd share with y'all It's in store only btw!

It's in store only. Sorry forgot to mention that. Updated OP with picture!

apparently this is currently only on the east coast as well. most users on the west coast have seen $50 at the most. myself including

I'm checking in the Nexus player section today because I picked up one this morning at a Frisco, TX Target for $24.98.
My original tip to the sale was from here: http://slickdeals.net/f/8168644-nexus-player-on-clearance-at-target-for-24-98-ymmv. There is plenty of discussion there about regional distribution and timing of the markdowns.
I also checked local inventory levels via brickseek.com, which seemed reasonably accurate (though it showed a $50 price, despite the lower in-store price).

The slickdeals thread has the details, but apparently most Targets do markdowns in electronics throughout the day on Mondays. So it's not surprising that you saw it for $50 yesterday.

Interesting, I went to one and called another here in El Dorado County (east of Sac). And both showed $50 still.
I actually used to work for Target. The one that I worked at were always done with markdowns by 10am, perhaps they are on a different schedule...

Yeah when I first heard I was skeptical because the website show'd $99, but then in the store it show'd $49, and then the clearance down to $25. I don't care how it got to $25, i'm just glad I got one!

Grabbed the final one in Brentwood MO. Did an inventory check at the store. Nothing available in the St Louis area.

in north texas as well. I went to Target in Allen off 75. It still showed $50 when the guy scanned it, but i told him my "friend bought one clearance at another target" and showed him the pic from slickdeals. He matched it for me....but only for 1. That was on Sunday afternoon. I need to go back and see if they finally marked the rest down. These would be good xmas gifts for my nerdy friends haha....my family wouldnt know what to do with these things.

Today is the markdown day. All Target store will have this for $25

Doesn't seem they are killing Android TV. I think it's possible they are releasing a new Nexus Player, Google usually doesn't announce hardware in advance. But who knows, we'll see in a few weeks.

SM-955F UK (Clove Technologies)

Does anyone have any idea when the UK shipments will be going out? Has anyone preordered from Clove? I am US based and patiently waiting my shiny new S8+. It seems the US based orders have already started rolling out so hopefully we see some movement for the UK devices next week.

delivery on all pre orders from the main shippers (samsung, carphone warehouse, very, argos) will be 20th april. clove are a reputable site so they should ship around that date assuming they will get stock 8 days early like the main suppliers. also add international shipping and import tax if held.

Is it typical to get hit with import tax?
Just checked the most it would be is 1$ per value and item. So shouldn't really be an issue.

I'll get mine wednesday the 19th from Amazon (I live close to Turin Italy). With the best price option I'll pay 872€

I ordered from Clove too but they say ships on 04/28.

Just a heads up, if you ordered from Clover Tech they are stating they don't expect any stock until the 28th. Kinda sucks as I pre-ordered from them being in the US and all I didnt have much of a choice for the Eyxnos variant anyways. Other suppliers in UK are already shipping but it looks like Clover is not a supplier such as Very, Samsung themselves and carriers.

Congrats, something to play with!
And you could cancel the order, if you wanna go the Ebay way!

Sorry to rub it in, but I received my Clove Monday. They shipped Friday. DHL got it across the pond over the weekend. But I did order it the date it was announced back in March and they charged my CC immediately. Unlocked bootloader, unlocked SIM. Works great on ATT. Loaded TWRP and one of the new custom ROMs.
