Yup... I saw how upset people who pre-ordered were last year after seeing the deals. First time I haven't pre-ordered since the galaxy S2 lol.

After watching people ranting on YouTube how last year people got really upset after the Pixel 3 XL prices got slashed big time, I think its worth the wait.

What you guys think the price will fall too? $699?
I would say $200 off each model like last year
I jumped on the Verizon deal and saved 450 with a pixel XL.
Ordered mine from Amazon just got an updated email saying delivery a week from Monday (11/11). If the price drops within the 30 day return period, Amazon will make it right. So after $100.00 gift certificate and hopefully another $200.00 Black Friday the phone will be worth what it should cost. ($699.00)

That'd be nice. I'll take anything whether it's on the Google store or via Google Fi. I'm going to get the 128gb version since I've been running on less than 10gb on this pixel 2xl since I got it (64gb)

I don't think Google will give you anything off.. well maybe a hundred or two but that's it. The carriers on the other hand will give you half off, no trade in required although perhaps another line added. But then you run the risk of bootloader locked, carrier locked for 60 days or more and being locked into 2 years of service because you only get a monthly credit over two years. But there should be some BF leaks in the coming weeks so you never know. At this point you might as well wait and see since it's only a few weeks.
I'm holding out with fingers crossed! ??

I don't think they'll make the same mistake as last year. And piss people off who pre-ordered again. Plus the pixel 4 is widely available. All carriers and big box stores are selling it. Pixel 3 last year was a very poor seller. So in that case it was a supply-and-demand thing.. my wife got a pre-order verizon 4xl for 450 dollars off. I jumped on a unlocked one at Best buy with $100 gift card. Both those deals lasted a week. And I don't think Black Friday will match them.
Hopefully I'm wrong either way I don't regret my decision to pre-order this time.
They'll probably have the exact same deals as last year at this time. Here in PR the phone has been out since launch and AT&T, Best Buy, and most T-Mobile stores haven't even put out a demo unit. Only one T-Mobile store had it out for display and the sales clerks told me that it's practically invisible. People look at it and ask where the Note or iPhones are. Go to the Google Store and the smaller phones (except maybe the not so orange, although I'm not sure) never sold out.
Google knows it has to be aggressive, the s11 will be out in a few months and the Pixel will already be yesterday's news, unfortunately.
I remember when the Nexus phones had the fastest chip and processor because they waited until the end of the year to get the latest and greatest and everyone else played catch up. Now it's the other way around. It's a damn shame.
All that said, I'm definitely getting one as soon as I see the deals out there for Black Friday.

They made the same "mistake" with the Pixel 2, though the sale was only $100 of if I recall. And more sellers competing and more availability means better sales. THAT is supply and demand.
Returned mine. When the deals show up maybe I'll buy again. Unfortunately for me it was too much for not enough that matters to me (motion sense is a gimmick I'll never use). Obviously everyone's situation is different.

I bought it too in the hype, but after using it a few days I felt I got ripped off and way over paid!
If a really good deal comes along I'll buy it again or might just get the Pixel 3 XL instead.

Pixel 3xl is still a great phone. I still have it. Although for the price and features I bought the 7T after returning the 4xl. It's close enough to the pixel for me and I saved a considerable amount of money.
In the end Google wants to charge premium prices, but always cut corners somewhere happens every year. 4xl will be a great phone I'm sure just probably the first pixel I'll not own.

I was looking at that 7t, but not having wireless charging is a deal breaker for me. It’s like having a flip phone all over again. lol
Every phone I’ve had since 2012 has had wireless charging, starting with the Verizon exclusive, Droid DNA. Then LG’s G2, G4, Samsung’s S8, S9, Note 9, and now current LG v30.

It's why I bought my Pixel on my credit card to use price protection. Every single year it has not failed me. Until the banks decide to stop doing price protection (shakes fist at Citi).

Some AT&T users who are looking for the HTC One X are getting some bad news from the AT&T online store. AT&T is currently out of stock on the HTC One X at their online store. I knew that the HTC was selling good, not that good.
The HTC One X's only real competition that is available to purchase right now is.... nothing. Okay, there is one smartphone that can compete with the HTC One X right at this moment and it is the HTC One S.

Yeah, I noticed it yesterday when I was looking for accessories on AT&T's website. AC has an article too:
http://www.androidcentral.com/att-htc-one-x-out-stock-online
I hoping they just sold out and there isn't an issue with the initial batch of phones.
Well lets just say a few days ago I was at target and the lady said they sold out so fast she never even had time to replace the plaque that had the "coming soon" shown in front of phone. So she just left it there since she couldn't keep them in stock.
Yesterday I went to look online to see which best buy had this phone in stock for a friend of mine, and out of the nearest 10 best buys around me, they were all sold out.
I think this phone even with its relatively low press coverage compared to phones like Tmobile's One S is doing really well.

I went to an AT&T store in downtown Washington DC the next day the One X was released ( I believe it was a Monday) and they were sold out.
It's more likely they've been taken off the shelf to push the new update that fixes WiFi and messaging.
I really doubt the phone is selling out. When I picked mine up they told me I was the first person to buy it. Sadly, all the other customers were just there for iPhones.

I've been to many brick-n-mortars (AT&T, Radioshack, Best Buy) looking for accessories and all the employees were asking me about it. Employees at stores that don't have "live" models on display, like RS and BB, even wanted to check my HOX out.
It's a great phone. My local store had them in stock on release day. I was in yesterday for a swap, and they still had a couple available. Even in MS this is a popular phone.

Hey guys,
Is there any reason I should hold out on buying this phone? I can get it from amazonwireless for 150$ and no tax.
Is there any other awesome android phones coming out on verizon this year? Or do you think the price will drop drastically soon (maybe to 99$?)

There might be some new phones, they just announced the Droid Razr HD and Droid Razr Maxx HD, they might be getting a nexus device but who knows. I doubt the price will drop until maybe next January. I say go for it. Its an awesome phone.
I see no need to hold out. Only thing coming to think about imo is the Razr HD/Maxx HD, but to me neither one is better than the S3

I noticed the new droids... my sister has a Droid 3. It sucks though, cause she's stuck on gingerbread and it's not a popular phone for customization. From what i read (And experienced), motorola is horrible for tweaking, while samsung is the best with htc in 2nd.
Since this phone has an unlocked bootloader now, and also has GSM radio, that's a big plus for me.
I just don't want this phone to fall another 50$ right after i buy it, especially with iphone 5s coming out soon competing with it.
Do you guys know if there's an even cheaper way to get it other than 150$?

Nope i got mine last week for $200 so I'd say your getting a good deal.
@fr8cture return and buy it again! get your $50 back!
@rpn its probably not going to sink any further than $150 with a new contract for a while. The only reasons I can think of holding back is to wait for the 64GB model (which may or may not be sold by verizon)
Whatever you do, make sure you refuse to give up an unlimited data plan if you currently have one! Make sure the salesman knows its a deal breaker (even if its really not)

I paid $515 on eBay, so I say you both got good deals lol....that said, I haven't thought twice about paying that price, and doesn't bother me people get it much cheaper on upgrade prices
Is this for the 16 or 32 gig model?
The new Motorola droids are identical to the s3 spec wise. In my opinion Motorola typically has better reception than I have had with the s3. But if you like to mod, there will definitely be a better following with the s3, and aftermarket accessories will be more widely available. The other upside to moto is the amazing battery life of the maxx.

Yep I'd be surprised if it came out before October 2013. The reason this was out so soon in my opinion is because the amount of carriers that got it. Everyone threw money as Samsung, so instead of only a few getting it like the GS2, pretty much everyone did this time around.
Also if you want a phone with customization do not buy a Motorola. They already confirmed that developer editions of these phones will be coming out for $500+ . Coming from a X2, no one could unlock that thing.
I think you can wait for a period of time.

Can't you just root it? Someone would have to find a way to unlock bootloader but still.
SG3 is now $139 on Amazon wireless. I just got one.
What is there to even consider, this is totally a no-brainer... DO IT man!
S3 specs are lightyears away from any phones i foresee coming out in the next 3-4 months.
This is going to be THE phone until its replacement comes out. I would be amazed if we don't see a nexus by the end of the year, but if you are Verizon don't even bother looking at it. And I personally don't think it is worth waiting. The S3 has gotten awesome support and is such an awesome piece of hardware that you won't regret owning it!

Walmart is sold out in both colors of the refurb units.
The release coming up in Sept is for the note 3 phone or are they releasing a new note 10.1 tablet also?
I really like my Note 10.1 and they would have to come out with something mind blowing for me to upgrade when a new note 10.1 comes out.

Yea i saw the walmart deal on gizmodo earlier. Best buy has it for $330 refurb. Mine consider that option as well seems to be a great tablet. Thanks for your response!
I bought mine refurbished on Woot.com for $299 and honestly it's just as good as brand new... I have been scared of refurbs before but now I think it's one of the best ways to go. even bought my wife a refurbished note 8.0 on ebay for $289 and hers is just like a brand new unit as well, plus depending on where you get it, most refurbs have a 90 day warranty (but if it turns out to be like my purchases, you won't need it)

The only reason I'm here is because of the $249 walmart refurb deal 2 days ago. That being said it depends on where you get the refurb from. Walmart has a very good return policy and I can take it back to any physical store without restocking fees. And there were over 500 online reviews with the majority indicating that the tablet came in brand new like condition minus the original box. That was enough for me to pull the trigger.
if it's not too late i would wait unless you want a cheap tablet to hold you over, samsung are supposedly going to announce a 1080p note series 12" tablet soon so look out for it, i'm interested myself but i am still happy with the note 10.1 though.

I have a question for those of you purchasing Walmart refurbs: what build number shipped on your device? My daughter and a friend's daughter both purchased Walmart refurbs and arrived with UEUCMA3 and would not update through the system. It just says the latest updates have been installed- which is obviously not true. I updated my daughter's (via ODIN), but I am curious about the experience of others.

The best way to get the update when auto update does not work is With your computer using samsung Kies software.But ODIN Flash is fine too..
Just letting you know there is another option..
I to agree with some of the comments above. I do not think i will upgrade to the next gen note 10 tablet.my note 10.1 runs perfect and does all i want.Also its likely to be 500.00 to 600.00 . That is a alot of money. I hope my note 10.1 will be viable for another year or so.. I also would NOT WANT A tablet bigger then 10. inches . 10 inches to me is a Monster .. Giggles.
Anyway Buy buy buy...... its half price and refurbs are useally returns or non sold new devices reboxed to sell with less warranty to clear out stock..
@erica_renee, I did try kies before ODIN, same result.

Yes, I picked mine up from Walmart and am very happy with it. Brand new looking, only difference is the refurb packaging.
It handles everything I throw at it and don't think I will need anything new anytime this year at least.
I paid 279 which was an excellent deal in itself. 249 is insane. You could probably resell if on ebay for a profit which may be why they are now sold out.
Buy one of you get the chance!
ps . I even got the drop and spill insurance since it was so inexpensive.
I bought a refurbished one from Walmart. I went with them over Best Buy because Walmart offered a two year warranty for like $40.

Otherwise you wouldnt have a clue this wasnt new.

Lost out
I would say yes to the OP question.
I myself was going to purchase a second Note 10.1 and when I went to get one of the $259 refurbs at Walmart they were sold out, I lost out on a great deal.
I see the reburb units have hit Ebay now and the cheapest I see is $299, still a good deal, the seller sold over 380 white units and 130 gray and the white is about sold out.
.
Walmart should still have more. I got mine plus two years of warranty for $299 and some cents. I was actually considering getting the TF300 don't know why I chose the Note, but it was a sound investment.

This. The fear of refurbs is a weird failure the QA folks missed. $299 and a 2year warranty is a good deal. Just make sure you know how to take advantage of their warranty (receipts, boxes, etc) before you need to. Taking pictures/scans of the receipts is a very good idea if you don't need the originals. Thermograph paper doesn't last too long.
They emailed the warranty information.
Had $37 in eBay Bucks and picked this up:

If you are waiting for Google Play Store, please don't wait for them. The best you can do is get free shipping or playstore credit. For retail, the price starts to come down after a few months. If it is close to Christmas, Easter or any major holidays then there are great deals to be taken.
On a new device like this, Google doesn't usually reduce the price. They may offer additional incentives for the holiday season, such as Play Store credit, free shipping, etc., but that's about it. The price won't be reduced until just before the next nexus phone is released, probably 4th quarter 2014. Of course, there's always the possibility of some crazy event affecting the norm... but I wouldn't count on it.
Phone is already cheap for what you get. Check out the Moto G for $200.

The price is already so low for what it is. Please stop being so cheap.

on sale!!?? just like the other user said the moto g mite be the phone for u.. the N5 is already crazy cheap for what u get.. do be honest one of the main reasons i got the n5 is the development it gets.. this is my first nexus phone and i love it.. i have had some many top of the line phone in the past 3 years and none of them come close to the love this phone gets.. i will never get another htc one.. or a galaxy phone again... im sticking with nexus:good:
I am fine with paying $349.That is a great price for the phone. What I am trying to decide is whether to purchase it now or wait for February when I will actually get to use the phone. I want to purchase it now, so that I can have it already. However, if it it might get reduced between now and then, it would be wise to wait. In the past have the prices stayed constant until the new model came out?

It dont get any better than what the price is on play store. Hell, I got a 32GB one and it was cheaper than what T-Mobile wanted for it. There's your savings lol

I'm done with Galaxy phones too. I booted up my S4 today to update it to the new MK2 OTA update because I'm getting it ready to sell. After a few weeks with my N5 I had already forgotten what a pain in the a$$ Knox is. Never again!
I preorder my pixel 3XL at the initial announcement. Yeah, but with all these Black Friday great deals I really regret pre-ordering. I wish I would have waited. Being a project fi customer for a long time I feel left behind or forgotten by Google.

If you paid with a CC you might check with them. Often times they'll allow you to price match within a certain amount of time.
This does happen pretty much every year so I don't think any manufacturers are hiding their cards.

Sorry man. But where have you been? Every BF deal is half off like.. forever? October release orders are for those that are rich and don't give a crap. They get it a month before everyone else for bragging rights but the rest of us paid half what they did. And we only waited a month. Live and learn and as I've said before.. never ever buy a device other than on BF. 'Nuff said.
I bought mine on launch day and returned it within the 14 day period and bought a one plus 6t. I just ordered the Pixel 3 xl, at 700 bucks its a no brainer compared to the OP6T for 570. Next year I will wait for black friday again.
The original Pixel XL was the last phone I got right when it came out. Project Fi has $200 off up front, $200 credit for bill payment. Tack on $285 for my Pixel 2 XL. Now you know for next time.
It's the price you pay for being a front line beta tester!

I bought my phone with the Costco Citycard. They have a price protection program where you can call in and get the difference in price refunded for any item bought within the last 60 days. I called in and got my claim set up. I sent them a copy of the itemized receipt from Google store showing full price and then one of the advertised Google store price. Now waiting and according to email they sent within 2 weeks I will get the difference back on my credit card.

I submitted my price rewind with my Citi Double Cash card :highfive:. So hopefully it goes through and if it does my 3XL will only end up costing me $400~ for the upgrade give or take.
I'm with you, but for a different reason. I'm on my fourth 3 XL. I RMA'd my 2 XL twice. I think this one finally might be ok but 5 warranty replacements over 2 devices that cost a grand each is ridiculous. I might would have just went and got an iPhone Xs Max if I hadn't been past my return window.

I normally wait for the second batch and never pre-order in the past. but my Nexus 6p was literally on his last leg so I had to move forward with the pixel 3XL it's a great phone and all but now looking back I wish I would have picked up a cheap phone just to get by for a month. this pixel 3XL is also going to be the first phone that I'm not going to root, it's totally stock, even the bootloader is still locked. it's also the first phone that I'll be using a case and screen protector with.

What were the reasons for RMA?

Screen issues on the 2 XL and speaker issues on the 3 XL. Two of the returns before Google confirmed they were working on a fix for the distortion. This last return, I had what I thought was screen burn in in the status bar of the notch, which I now think it's intentional but I sent pictures to Google support and they agreed. The bottom speaker on it also seemed much more distorted than the previous two. The 4th device, which I have now, seems much better in the speaker even though there is still some white noise. I'm hoping Google does actually fix this.

What exactly was wrong with your phones that you needed to RMA them so often? Just curious. Need to make sure mine doesn't have any similar problems haha

Do you feel like your phone has any problems? If you don't then you're better off not trying to look for problems and go into a RMA nightmare and get a phone from the Google store that you can't OEM unlock and go into a continuous loop of frustration and wasted time and money.
Op
I returned my xl for a replacement which got to me in 2 days.
Two days after I've received the second pixel I noticed black Friday deals come in. I ordered yesterday another pixel (the third one) and my second pixel (replacement) I'll be returning once google ships me the retun box. Should be any day.

Im very well considering the iPhone xs, I'm kinda tired of Google dishing out half baked products.
