Thought it would be interesting to see who got the best deal when they bought their phone. Post The price of your phone, any bonuses you got with it, the location you bought it and the approximate date you purchased it
I personally got mine at Best Buy for $49.99 on a 3 year contract with a bonus $75 Best Buy gift card and (he said) a free 16gb micro-sd card. Pretty sure all phones come with the SD cards though since it was already in the phone upon unboxing.
Now you!
it was 9k pesos and that's around 750 dlls
Free on a 15 pound ultd contract 24 month =)
Benifits on being on a staff contract with o2. Shame its a 2 year contract though. Had phone since realses in Europe. had 3 replacements
Mine in malaysia rm 1550.00. Us around 4+

I traded a month-old iPhone 3GS for mine. The choice was either this or the Desire (non-hd). After 6 months of heavy use I'm glad I chose the X10. It's got an old version of Android with some small issues but the screen and design more than makes up for it imo.
The streetprice now here in Sweden is about 400€ which is slightly overpriced, I'd put it at 300-350.

Got it from my bro who switch to IOS4 . My first android phone and as each day passes by i liking it. Great phone...
$637.00 AUD From "3" HK Network
Bought a new N900 for $350, traded it for a x10 after three weeks.
$650
+tax
Free, 3 years contract, Rogers Canada
NO Contract Its white X10a branded to rogers works on the US att. Got it for $520 around June.
Happy with it.
Purchased on eBay from a guy in Canada.
$50, and a $50 mail in rebate, so basically free. Upgraded through Rogers, didn't need to get a new plan or anything.
I definitely didn't feel like spending another $500+ on an unlocked phone

Holycrap what a deal! lucky you I bought mine at full retail price for $621 including tax straight from Rogers just cuz I love this phone so much, I'm not even with Rogers
I traded a year old SE Satio + $100 AUD for a brand new X10
Can't say I miss the Satio, but the camera was absolutely AMAZING.
I've got melting plastic in my wallett, itching to be used. Given the prices from last week, £360 for a Galaxy Tab, I was trying to resist til the 14th to make my decision.
But today I though, nah, must have one. Playback my DivX... Hooked up the two websites and...
Nope, that's me put off for a while.
Carphone Warehouse want £399.
Tesco Direct want £449.
Clove want £442
Expansys want £499
PC World want £407
Amazon want £408
Scan £450
Ahh well. Looks like Im waiting for the Galaxy Tab 2
try bestbuy.co.uk, main page says 399, but further down it mentions other deals, such as tab+16gig upgrade+pay as you go sim for 359
There going for $250 on contract in the U.S.
I got mine for $50 from TMOUS! Great deals to be had stateside.

how did you get it for $50 Pittphan? i'm also looking to pick one up on contract. if i can get it less than the advertised $250 on t mobile i'd love to do so. thanks!
i just check tmo's site and it's increased $100 off contract. last week i was considering getting another galaxy tablet and it was listed as $500 off contract for about a month. now it's back up to $600 off contract - you do get $50 off if you order online though.
actually it seems the price changes depending on what page you view -
prepaid is $600 plus web discount of $50 off. LINK
"normal" contract says retail is $500 LINK
kinda stupid to list the retail value differently for the same product.
Where is the best place to buy the phone without a contract?

Without a contract negri is one the cheapest places you get a phone without a contract even cheaper then amazon most times. They also give you a one year warranty......

I pre ordered mine from them and they have the cheapest price online, I couldn't order it from anywhere else since I am in Canada and most sites only ship to USA, also if you want 15$ discount use DADNGRAD15 coupon
Negri seems to have the best price, I couldn't find an Unlocked AT&T anywhere else. Not even on Amazon.

Either buy from BestBuy AT&T or a craigslist ad dont go any higher than $550...AT&T sells from 550
No sales tax in the Virgin Islands. Woot

Our sales tax here is 6%, so for me the $550 becomes a total of $582. That's still less than anywhere else I've found on line by a long shot. Oh, and I confirmed with my local Best Buy that they WILL price match AT&T at $550. So that might be another option.
$649 for no contract or $149 for individual upgrade at Amazon, but they don't charge tax do they? Or I guess it depends on the state your in.
Samsung Galaxy S III 4G Android Phone, Blue 16GB (AT&T)
EDIT: it's now $549 for no contract.
best price is free as in beer
AT&T has best no-commit price. And after awhile there will be eBay offering around the same price and without tax. So... Weigh your options, and see. It is time vs money.

Yeah thats not too bad. I would buy it at that price. Why buy from bestbuy, then buy directly from the carrier, ur still going to pay tax for ATT or bestbuy right?

Paid 67.99 for my Note. $50 preorder then traded in a S4 ($200) + Best Buy gift card for purchasing the phone ($50) and had 17.99 remaining for taxes and activation.
Same here except i traded a Sanyo Zio......... worth like 2 cents............. no way were they getting my Note 3.........lol
Bought the 50 buck preorder gift card. Went to store to pick up phone (with a crap trade in) realized I forgot the card, they told me I could bring it in and refund it. Went to my local store to do and the manager said there's no way to do it. He offered to reimburse me the cost of the zag tempered glass though, which was 40 and I got to keep the 50 gift card. So after all that it was like 115 for the note plus a 50 buck gift card. Complicated but I feel good about the result.

Unless I'm really bad at math, you got $300 in promotions. The phone costs $720, so how did you only pay $67.99?
He upgraded with 2 year contract so out of pocket cost is 300. He paid 50 dollar for a gift card as a down-payment to pre-order. He traded in phone and got 200 towards phone so now cost is 100. Got additional 50 for purchasing phone. So cost is now 50 tack on his state taxes of 17.99 equals 67.99

How did you guys get additional $50 gift card for purchasing the phone? Mine $118 otd, $50 preorder + $200 trade in (htc hero).
Best buy gave additional 50. They advertised it
I sort of paid $79 for mine after taxes and deposit (or 109 with the Amazon phone I traded in).
There's the $50 deposit, $200 for trading in an HTC Hero (that I paid $30 for), $50 GC for buying a phone this year at BB.
I say sort of because I got a $700 credit in store for my Note 2 as well since I kept having hardware issues with 3 Note 2's within a week. That also got me a Galaxy Gear Neo 2, WB350 Camera, a few other other small things.
This is in the sprint section. What abt the Verizon model?
sent from your moms phone
Imma have to take a visit to Bestbuy and see if they can honored the $50 bucks.
where is this extra $50 gift card everyone is talking about being advertised? please link
I got the $200 gift card for my trade in but i have not seen anything about another $50 GC...

There's two that I've heard of. One is a $50 coupon for trading in a phone; supposedly not many have luck with that one since it double dips. There's another one that is for the BB Reward members from February or so who signed up and said they'd buy a phone this year; I got this one. They basically have this one every year and you get it as long as you sign up, and buy a phone within that year. It'll pop up when you give them the phone number for your RZ account.
Got my Note 4 todya for $25 thanks to the wonder that is icrap. thank you SO MUCH apple for my Note 4

I wouldn't say that suk's. Got mine for $165 November 1st 14. That was a hell of a deal.
With a trade in (my ancient Optimus S) and a BB card it was $99. Here in Ca with the dumb azz green tax and such... $165.
1 buck, wow.
I just switched from the HTC One M7 to the Note 4. Went to Best Buy and picked it up for $1 and they were still offering $100 gift card.

Go back and have them price match! I picked one up on Sunday for $1 AND a $100 Gift Card! .....it's like they gave me $99 to take it from them!
Bagged mine back on Sept 18th for a buck on 2 year renewal as well.Went to local BB to see if I could score a card, but doesn't apply to online purchases.
Ahh well, still ahead of the game.
Thanks for the heads up. I got one a month ago when they were nowhere to be found. Got it on BB for $200 plus contract. Got one today for $1 for my kids. Evens out the score to ~$100 each.
the gift card isn't offered anymore ..well through online that is. is it only offered in store?

Got mine in Best Buy on Sat for $1, and they gave me the $100 gift card.

I picked one up for the wife today @ 1 dollar and it's her birthday too... They are selling out fast around here, yesterday they were listed on the website as being in several stores close to my house but when I pulled the trigger today I had to drive 30 miles to pick one up. get on this train fast if you want one at that price.
Got mine.
I picked a Note 4 up for a dollar as well. I got the $100 gift "card",but had to pay $54.00 for some fee. I applied the gift card to this fee and walked out of there with a Note 4 and $50.00 gift "card"in my pocket. My stock battery life wasn't that great, so bought a zero lemon battery for it. Battery life is better, but no where near my S5 using the MOAR Rom. That sucker go 2 days moderate use on it. The note 4 gets a day.
$1 & More
My last Note 4 broke, went to BB & no great deal on the Note 5, but the 4 was running at the $1 price along with that $100 gc.... AND since i wasn't treating myself to a newer device, I promptly spent that gc on my fancy new Gear S2 classic. AND i'm super impressed the S2 has no issues communicating to devices with custom roms (fyi)
